About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family members and friends for years. I have experience with puppies, and senior dogs as well as reactive dogs. I have a flexible schedule so I will be able to spend plenty of time with your pet and make sure they are well taken care of. I am very active and can make sure your pets activities needs are met. I am happy to cater to whatever your pet needs to keep their daily routine.
“Ken was awesome! Our boy Gunnar was obviously well taken care and the house was cleaner than when we left it. Ken dropped by a couple of days after house/dog sitting for us and Gunnar was beside himself. Friends for life. We won't use anyone else. We highly recommend Ken, just not when we need him:)”
“Tara, did a great job. We were sent updates frequently with photos of the pups and cats. Dogs were walked and got to enjoy life at home thanks to Tara. Tara always was always to respond quickly with our questions and concerns. It is a great feeling to be able to leave your family and know they are in great hands.”
“Ben was an absolute treasure to Sushi and the rest of our family! We had to leave town with little notice for a celebration of life and Ben stepped in and treated our dog, Sushi, like family. He updated us daily with pictures, which allowed us to focus on what was necessary. Thank you, Ben! We appreciate you!!”
“Eric was a wonderful house and pet sitter! Our dog, Willow, loved Eric and his dog Rufus. Eric took Willow on many hikes and left our house in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone living or staying in Summit County! Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and I wish to continue interacting with them. My childhood dog, Sarge, recently passed away and dog walking and dog sitting allows me to continue my relationship with these animals. I’m working a variety of odd jobs in addition to my job at Colorado Learning Connections, as I am looking to supplement my income and save up for graduate school! I have over four years of experience talking care of dogs and I am eager to ensure not only their safety (and the safety of your home) but for their comfort.
“Jodie was a phenomenal cat and house sitter for our 3 week vacation. She would give us regular updates and was always quick to reply. The cats and house were in great shape when we returned. So thankful for her time and attention to our furry kiddos.”
“Victoria was amazing. Jax had better care with her than he normally gets when we are home. Victoria sent regular updates with pictures and videos. She was completely trustworthy staying at our house. I can't say enough good things about the care she have to Jax.”
About: My family has always had a dog and I have also petsat dogs of all sizes and ages for 10+ years. I am an avid runner and have taken many of the dogs I petsit for runs with me. I currently work two to three days per week as a nurse, which gives me plenty of opportunity and flexibility to take care of your pets! I am able to care for your pets both in your home and mine. I am more than happy to spend the night at your house to care for the dog if that is easier on the dog for routine and comfort. I will adhere to your house rules in terms of furniture and ensure that the house is in the same condition as you left it.
About: Five years and running in Summit County. My love of animals is noticeable and after having spent many a day and weekend taking care of my friends and neighbors furbabies (including running with their dogs), I've decided to make dog/cat sitting a more permanent side hobby. As a pet owner myself (both cats and dogs), I understand how important a cat/dog sitter is to the wellbeing of both the owner and their pet(s). Therefore, I'll do all that I can to make sure I provide a fun, safe and positive experience for everyone. I am a consultant so my hours are somewhat flexible during the week and weekends. Let me know how I can help. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am available for drop in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and overnight stays depending on the location. My priority is creating a safe calm and comfortable environment where pets can maintain their routine and feel secure. In a clients home I respect the pets established schedule and the owners preferences, including feeding routines, medications, exercise, playtime and household guidelines. I pay close attention to behavior and well-being and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and cared for.
“I am so happy I chose Jamie to care for my pets. She did a great job dealing with all my animals and their individual needs. Everyone was healthy and happy when I got home, I would definitely trust her with my babies again :)”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for over 25 years, and caring for animals comes naturally to me. I have experience supporting dogs with medical conditions, including diabetes and medication schedules, and I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are for pets with extra needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I adapt to their personality and routine. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable space where your furry family member feels happy, cared for, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve had dogs for most of my life and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I make time for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and giving pets attention throughout the day so they feel comfortable and cared for. I also enjoy staying active, so regular walks and exercise are something I naturally incorporate into my routine. Whether a pet needs energy and engagement or a calm, relaxed environment, I’m able to adapt to their needs and maintain a consistent routine for them. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets can stick to their normal routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive consistent care through feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also respect each pet’s personality and energy level, whether they enjoy being active or prefer a quieter environment. I pay close attention to safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I always aim to make pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel relaxed and confident knowing they’re in good hands.
About: Hi! I’m Vivian. I have taken care of dogs for my whole life! I grew up raising all kinds of dogs, from Dalmations to Maltese and friendly mutts. At 5 weeks to old age, all dogs are welcome, loved and well cared for in my home. Fur babies are family, too. I work from home, so I am available to play with your pup and tend to bathroom breaks all day. I take daily walks and would love to bring the doggo along for a stroll. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. My townhome is spacious, clean and well kept. I have plenty of safe space for your dog to roam with dirt trails just behind the house for long walks!

FAQs for House Sitting - Montezuma
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Montezuma on Rover is $85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 533 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montezuma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Montezuma walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Montezuma maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Montezuma choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montezuma. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
