“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care that Vivian provided to our beloved dog while we were away. From the moment we met her, it was evident that she had a genuine love for animals, and it put our minds at ease knowing our furry friend was in such capable and caring hands. Vivian's bond with our German Shepherd was heartwarming to witness. It was evident that she took the time to understand our dog's individual needs and personality, which made for a seamless and joyful experience for our pup. Their daily walks around the neighborhood were not only great exercise but also a fantastic opportunity for our dog to explore new scents and sights. The regular updates and information Vivian sent us about our dog's condition were truly appreciated. It was reassuring to know that she was keeping a close eye on her well-being and health. The added bonus of receiving adorable pictures of our pup during their adventures brought so much joy to our hearts while we were away. Vivian went above and beyond what we could have ever expected from a dog sitter. She treated our dog as if it was her own, showering her with love, attention, and care. We returned home to a happy, content, and well-cared-for the dog, and we owe it all to Vivian's excellent service. If you're in need of a dog sitter who will not only provide top-notch care but also forge a genuine friendship with your furry family members, Vivian is the perfect choice. Her dedication, professionalism, and love for animals make her stand out from the rest. We will undoubtedly be seeking her services again in the future, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and trustworthy companion for their pets. Thank you, Vivian, for making our time away stress-free and for creating such a positive experience for our dog!”

“Our dogs were well cared for, and we returned home to find both them and our house in great shape, which we truly appreciated. One thing that would have made the experience even better would have been receiving a brief daily update without having to check in first. A quick message or photo each day would provide peace of mind and be greatly appreciated by pet owners while they're away.”

About: I’m a genuine dog lover who enjoys caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether you’re busy, traveling, or just need an extra hand, I’m happy to help give your dog the love and attention they deserve. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I truly enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to help others feel at ease knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I work at home so I do 24/7 care. My world is surrounded with dogs, I just love them so I work with them and everyday it's a blast. I have a wonderful 2 acre backyard that's fenced for my fuzzy guests to stretch their legs and enjoy a park all to themselves. I spend my hours outside working on little projects so your baby's will get to just relax or play to their heart's content and then after a long day I like to end it with cuddles and movie on the couch.

About: I have lifelong experience with pups of all kinds, having at least 2 in my household since I was a kid. I consistently care for my neighbor's and friend's dogs and always receive positive feedback! I also have plenty of experience with both puppies and senior dogs! Can care for cats as well! I'm a full-time college student, so my schedule varies day to day. I find plenty of time between and after classes where I can tend to your pups! I'm in an apartment so unfortunately I cannot take care of your pups at my home, only client's homes. However I am super flexible when it comes to your dogs needs and I can work around any obstacles or special preferences in your homes!

About: I've lived with cats and dogs my entire life. I've worked on Rover through my mom's account since 2020. I have experience in cats and dogs doing walkings, check ins, and overnights. When I am not at college, it's my responsibility to feed and take out our dogs and cats.Just hanging out with them everyday is something I do as well. When doing overnights or check ins I make sure I respect the rules placed by the homeowners. If the animals are scared or nervous, I'll tend to give them space when it's needed.

About: I have owned varying pets throughout my whole life; rabbits, hamsters, dogs, and cats. I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals, which makes me a great choice for pet sitting. I understand how important it is to follow routines, provide companionship, and keep pets safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure pets feel happy and cared for. I also have a green thumb, so if you need me to water any plants while you're out, just ask! I currently have a full time job, so a majority of my openings will be on the weekends. However during the summer I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am to take care of your pets. I will always keep them on a leash, if out for a walk. And if you need something specific done, just send me a message!

About: I've had multiple dogs and cats my whole life and have pet sat and cared for neighbors' and friends' pets all through high school and college, whether that's house-sitting, drop-in visits, walking, or keeping them in my own home. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking dogs and socializing kittens, which gave me hands on experience with animals of all different temperaments and backgrounds. I love animals and genuinely enjoy being around and caring for them. I'm comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and on schedule while their owners are away. I'm a full-time student with a great schedule! I have classes Monday-Thursday with M/W being my longer days from 9 -4, but with a midday break. T/Th is my lgihter day with only1 midday class That leaves me free most mornings and late afternoons, every evening, plus all day Friday through Sunday. I'm flexible and happy to work around your pet's routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I am able stay at the client's home so pets can stay in their own familiar environment, following their normal routine as closely as possible for feeding, medication, and playtime. I make sure doors, gates, and any outdoor areas are secure before letting pets outside. For dog walks, I keep dogs leashed at all times for their safety and use secure leash handling techniques, similar to what animal shelters require of their volunteers. I always check that collars and harnesses fit properly before heading out and keeping a firm, controlled grip to prevent slipping or bolting. For cats, I make sure litter boxes are scooped and cleaned on schedule so their space stays comfortable, and I always follow the specific food, water, and feeding routine the owner sets. Both cats and dogs need companionship even when they're independent, so I spend time with them each visit, whether that's playtime, petting, or just sitting with them so they don't feel alone while their owner is away. I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite and let owners know right away if anything seems off. I follow any specific instructions owners give me exactly, and I send photo updates during visits, so owners know their pet is safe and comfortable while they're away.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our little dogs. Knowing they were in such loving, capable hands while we were out of state gave us tremendous peace of mind. Danielle was dependable, caring, and attentive to both of our dogs’ individual needs. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pups and treated them like their own. We received updates while we were away, which made being so far from home much easier. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs says it all! We are so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely trust Danielle with our fur babies again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”

About: I've been working with dogs since high school. First volunteering at the shelter and working at a daycare (mainly with dogs) and then progressing into some training. I've been working with cats almost all my life, fostering, volunteering and then eventually having my own!! I'm comfortable adminteresting meds to cats (oral, or inhalers) and walking moderate reactive dogs. I have a flexable schedule, generally with more availability during the evening 2-6pm and mornings 6-7am. If you are flexable on times we can make it work! I offer a meet and greet to allow everyone to meet and to go over any directions, and locations of items. This gives time for your pets to get to know me and for any questions to be asked. I love to read, and have found great success with pet parents who leave written instructions and contact numbers.

About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Montezuma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 246 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montezuma. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
