“Jasmyne was extremely attentive to my pets during her stay! She followed my written wishes and instructions well and left my home in the same condition she found it. My dogs loved her presence while we were away from home and anytime she needed to leave the house she communicated well which I personally enjoyed! I loved not having to worry about my pets while I was in the hospital. Jasmyne also did a complimentary meet and greet before I needed her to stay so my pets would know her and her scent. Overall I’d recommend her to anyone. I can’t wait to use her in the future.”
“Sally was wonderful. She sent updates everyday and pictures several times a day. She let us know when one of our pups wasn’t eating and asked what she could do. She also kept the house tidy and cleaned up when she left. We would definitely rebook her for our next trip!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t recommend Syieve enough! My dog has really bad anxiety and doesn’t warm up to people easily, but she absolutely loved her 🥹💛. She was so patient, sweet, and kept me updated with the cutest pictures while I was gone. I felt super comfortable having her in my home and could tell my pup was in great hands. Definitely booking her again! 🐾✨”
“Very friendly, professional and punctual.She went above and beyond. Felt at ease knowing she was watching my pups. Will definitely be contacting her again when I travel. My dogs responded to her well. Definitely recommend!”
“Emily did an amazing job with our big babies even in the rain when they can be a huge pain ;) She provided exactly what we discussed in a timely and professional manner. I am so thankful she was willing and so attentive over the holiday and as an added plus I came home to a clean home with trash out and sheets washed. Will totally use Emily again with my two Great Danes.”
“They did the job taken care of my dog. I left my house spotless and my dogs were happy. I will definitely use them again. They are five star in my book. A really nice home and star linens and towels.”
“They were fantastic! They took care of our baby who is a special-needs dog and made sure he was taking care of and he fell in love with them! In fact, it seems like he wanted to keep them and not us! Lol thank you so much! That’s what we wanted; someone to love our baby like we love on him.”
About: I am very easy going and let the pet tell me what their needs are. I dont push myself on them. I wait for them to get used to my smells so they won't be stressed by a new person. I do work full time but am able to work from home. Because of this my schedule is flexible and I can take breaks when needed to run errands and such. My home is fenced and my dogs are let out frequently as well as being taken for walks daily. My cats and dogs get frequent treats and they always have a lap to lay on.
“Natasha was amazing! She gave our pets so much love and attention while we were away. We appreciated the photos so much! It was a relief coming home to happy and relaxed pups!”
“Rachel stayed at our house and watched our dogs while we went on a family vacation. This was a busy trip to Disney, and it helped SO much to have someone so reliable watching our fur babies. I never worried. She texted me updates which also gave me that extra peace of mind. We will definitely use her services again the future. Thank you, Rachel!! 🐶🐶🤩”
“Morgan was awesome! She was so sweet and easy going. We ended up being gone longer than expected and she stayed longer than she had too and it was so much appreciated. Our doxies loved her and even whined when she left. We will definitely use Morgan again!!”
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." I have a special place in my heart for special needs animals and rescue's. I work from home so I am here all day with my dog Hope. The more the merrier! I have a passion for dog's an enjoy all their quirky personalities. I have a fenced back yard and doggie door I can use if needed so they can roam around. Hope and I go for walks in the mornings and I can accommodate that as well.
About: I love dogs, and I get along well with people everyone tends to like me. I grew up around dogs, and at home we had three Golden Retrievers. My family has even sold dogs at times, so I’m comfortable handling and caring for all kinds of dogs. I’m usually available from 2:00 PM until nighttime. We can discuss and arrange something based on your specific needs! I hope I can meet both your needs and your dog’s needs. I will be taking care of your dog in the comfort of your home, providing attentive, loving, and reliable care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“Excellent sitter! Will be hiring again. She is organized, attentive to detail, and attuned to my dogs' needs. She did an excellent job caring for my senior dogs--highly recommend her! Thank you, Alicia!!!”
“This was our second time using Tracy and he was just as fantastic this time. We had an overnight trip and needed someone to stay in our home with our dog and two cats and he kept us updated and the pets were happy and safe with him there. I would definitely book Tracy again in the future.”
About: I stand out because I treat every pet like family and make sure, they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies, seniors, and pets with different personalities, including shy or anxious animals. With over 150 volunteer hours at the Humane Society, I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I know how to read animal behavior, follow routines, and keep pets calm and happy. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I always communicate clearly so you know your pet is in good hands. I’m home consistently throughout the week, and I build in time for walks, feeding, play, and check‑ins without rushing. Since I treat pets like part of my daily life, giving them attention and structure feels natural, not like an extra task. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons during work breaks, or evenings after work, I make sure each pet gets steady care and plenty of interaction. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the routine they’re already used to so everything feels familiar and stress‑free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions the owner leaves. I keep the home tidy, respect their space, and make sure the pet gets steady attention and reassurance while their family is away. My goal is always to keep things calm, consistent, and comfortable so the pet feels secure in their own environment.

Morgan took such great care of my sweet Freya and my home. She honestly is one of the nicest and sweetest souls. Freya is pretty slow with new people, but took to her almost instantly. We are so lucky to have found her and will be using her services in the future. I loved receiving photos of their time together.
Justyce and her husband were absolutely amazing! They did a phenomenal job caring for our dog and puppy. We were able to enjoy almost 2 weeks away to visit family with no stress about our pets and home. We are so grateful! Can't recommend them strongly enough!!!
If you love updates like I do Ashleigh is your girl! She took great care of our two cats we had to go out of town & just adopted an 8 week old not ideal but she made it so easy. Not only did our older cat “criminal newt” I’m sure you can deduce from the name she’s not the sweetest but ash won her heart & got snuggles… so rare but she loved on our baby boy. Ashleigh took her time to get to know what each one of our babies needed & wanted she took great care of both of them I would definitely recommend oh & she left me with a clean house!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Montgomery on Rover is $42.8 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 109 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montgomery. 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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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 Montgomery 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
