I have the cutest little fear aggressive rescue who really only wants to be with us….so it’s hard to find people who will watch her. Sandra had this little fearful girl lying on the couch with her in less than 24 hours. She kept us up to date on how she was doing our entire trip. It was such a relief to find Sandra. We never worried about Mila or anything at home while Sandra was there.

About: Hello, my name is Angel and I’m excited to care for your cats and dogs! I have about 6 years of experience with cats, thanks to raising and caring for my own kitty, and 2 years of experience with dogs. While cats are my specialty, I’m also eager to continue building my dog care skills and I love spending time with pups of all ages, including puppies. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable with feeding, cleaning up after them, playing, and following any specific instructions you provide. If you book dog walking, I can take your pup on walks or even light jogs for exercise. I don’t currently drive, so I may use public transit or rideshare; this means arrival times can vary slightly. Meet and greets are required so your pet and I can get comfortable first! I am currently enrolled in hybrid and online college classes, which means I have almost full availability for bookings. My schedule is flexible unless otherwise stated in advance. I care for my own kitty with lots of love and attention, and I would do the same for your lovable fur baby. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are always my top priorities when pet sitting.😊🤗

Nancy was wonderful. She filled in at the last minute because I had a cancellation, and her up-beat spirit helped me know she's perfect for Sadie. I really liked her. She and Sadie got along real well, and I will request her again when the opportunity presents itself. My home was perfect when we got back. Thank you for being you Nancy.

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.

We are SOOOO grateful for Megan! She watched our blue heeler puppy at our home for 5 days and did an incredible job. He got so much love and play time and the house was maintained wonderfully! Our dog needed to take medicine while we were gone and she helped with that no issues. She also communicated great and escalated and managed a small health issue seamlessly. We are so lucky to have met Megan and highly, highly recommend!!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid! From walking them to house sitting for my family and parents friends, I love taking care and making pets happy! I’m currently a student athlete but I’m free everyday after 4:30 to take care and show some love and play with your little babies :) I’m free all day on the weekends starting at 10am. I live in an apartment with a big yard and a lot of open space! I’m not doing day care but I’m more than happy to drive to your place or pick up your pets to do whatever you need me to do!

About: Hi, my name is Maddie, I’ve been caring of animals for as long as I can remember! I have watched friends and families dogs over the last several years, as well as taking care of my own dogs and cats since I was little. I am constantly around animals and dedicated to making sure that every animal feels comfortable, safe, and loved and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine ☺️ With my current job, I have a lot of flexibility. My shifts are primarily on weekend nights, giving me availability during the weekdays from morning to evening and I often have weekend availability during the daytime. I am comfortable with adhering to their needs and overcoming any challenges that may arise. I will provide a comfortable, safe environment for you and your pets.

Shannon was absolutely fantastic. This is our first experience with Rover and based on Shannon's care and concern for our dog, we've already decided to hire her next time we're out of town. She treated our dogs so well and went above and beyond. We highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who is trustworthy and who will care for your dog as if it was hers.

About: I have had dogs (and other pets) my entire life, and I treat them with all the love and respect you would a human. Currently, I have two precious pups and a bunny of my own, and would love to ensure your pup gets the love, attention, and exercise they need while you’re away. I work part time from home, so I have mostly open availability to help you care for your pups on a daily basis or as needed. HOUSE SITTING I will provide ample love and exercise for your pet while your away, while also caring for basic needs such as frequent potty breaks and obviously food/water. I will check on your pups before bed and return early in the morning. I’m happy to vacuum and clean up after your pet while you’re away as well. I would love to walk your dog and work on basic training commands while providing them with the enrichment and exercise they need to thrive. I’m happy to come care for your dogs at your home as needed.

About: I've been a pet owner (dogs and cats) for more than 20 years. My current dogs are both rescues and each comes with their own unique personality, so I'm open to the quirks of lots of different pets. When I'm caring for your pet, they will be my only focus, and I can help with medications and whatever training you're working on with your pet family members! I'm newly retired, so I have time and flexibility to care for your pets! Just let me know what you are looking for and we'll make it work! I can walk dogs during the day or evening, and overnight house sitting with pets is right up my alley. I'll be happy to treat your pets like family. I am glad to maintain whatever routines your pet is used to, and while I'm staying at your home, I will be happy to maintain their walks, meals, snacks, medications, games, etc. I know how important trust is when inviting somebody into your home, so please feel free to share any questions you have with me.

Mariola was fantastic, and we would gladly use her again. From our very first interaction, she was friendly, professional, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she fully understood our dog’s routine and needs. We really appreciated that she was willing to come to our home for a meet-and-greet before our vacation, which gave us confidence and peace of mind before leaving. Throughout our trip, Mariola kept us updated with great communication. She even contacted us right away about a potential concern she noticed with our dog. It turned out to be nothing serious, but I appreciated her attentiveness and willingness to check rather than make assumptions. She also went above and beyond by helping with a couple of household tasks I had forgotten before leaving. She didn’t hesitate to help, and that level of care was greatly appreciated. When you’re away, peace of mind is everything, and Mariola absolutely provided that for us. Highly recommended! Kurt H

Our dog has been anxious when we traveled before but she did great being able to stay at our house with Justin. He was so kind to my kids at the meet and greet, took great care of our dog and home, and sent videos while we were gone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Montgomery

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Montgomery on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,455 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 with handling special pet needs in Montgomery. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
