About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them. For the past 2.5 years, my wife and I have also been dog parents to our corgi, Riley. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat every dog I care for like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine since we have a dog of our own. I also have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, so I can be around throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. We have a dog-friendly home with a fenced-in yard and our friendly corgi, Riley. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. We want every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to help with walking, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, patient, and always make sure every dog feels cared for while their owners are away. I’ve always loved being around animals of all kinds, and I’m currently a college student and unemployed, so I’m home most of the time with a flexible schedule to give dogs plenty of attention. I’m a college student and currently unemployed, which means I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. The only times I’m not available are Tuesday and Thursday mornings when I’m in class. Other than that, I’m available 24/7 for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, and I love spending extra time with pets. I live in a safe townhouse that’s comfortable for pets and great for walks around the neighborhood. I can also care for pets in their owners homes to keep them a familiar routine. I always make sure feeding, playtime, and any special instructions are followed. Pets are treated like family, with lots of attention, love, and a safe environment whether they’re with me or in their own home.

About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes our pets are part of the family. 🐾 I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who would love the opportunity to care for your dog while you’re away or give them some extra love and exercise during the day. I’m also a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own. A Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix! Having dogs with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels has given me plenty of hands-on experience understanding that every dog has their own unique needs and routine. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks & house sitting, and I’m happy to tailor my care to your dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs some playtime and attention, or simply wants someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important it is to feel confident when someone else is caring for your pet. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is doing well. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix. I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule with walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’m able to plan my week around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner. I have two dogs of my own so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making sure pets get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, food, and fresh water they need. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and will always keep them clean and secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Valerie did a great job for us while we were out of town for five days. Our dog, cat, fish, and house were well taken care of. We enjoyed being notified via the app when Valerie started and ended her visits. Her added photos and videos of our animals provided us assurance all was well and were fun to see. We provided Valerie with detailed care directions for our dog, cat, fish, and house needs. It was great to see those directions being put into action via Valerie's photos and videos. Thank you, Valerie, for taking care of our pet family members and home while we were traveling. We greatly appreciate your efforts.”

“This was my first time using “Rover” and chose Chelsie after reading her numerous positive reviews. This was a last minute decision and I had Chelsie meet with our daughter at our house since my wife and I were out of state. Chelsie was local and met with our daughter to meet our dogs. Chelsie came over to house for three separate days for 30 mins each day. Chelsie would upload photos and give daily progress reports and upload to the “Rover” for our review. This brought comfort to us and had complete confidence our dogs were in great hands. Chelsie went above and beyond.. We definitely will use Chelsie’s service again in the future. Highly recommend!!”

“Our normal cat sitter had a family emergency and canceled our reservations. Meaghan was willing to help us on short notice. She did a fantastic job. We received daily updates and pictures. We had added a bunch of extra chores for her, one of the cats needing medication as such. She even kept up with vacuuming up the tiny bits of food that can tend to be thrown around when the cats eat. We came home to relaxed kitties and a clean house. We intended to contact her first if we ever have the need. Highly recommend!”

I am working part-time, so I can be available whenever needed. I prefer weekdays, but am willing to do weekends. Timing is flexible as well :) I have a fenced-in yard, and two dogs at the house. They are both under 20 pounds, but friendly. I can also keep dogs separated if needed.

About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.

Elena was fantastic caring for my hybrid savannah cat while I was away. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional pet lover. Elena communicates effectively too, which isn’t a common characteristic. I was very comfortable having her visit my cat at our home. And I could tell my cat really enjoyed her company.

Angel was such a patient, kind, and caring sitter! We just recently moved to the area and our cat is still getting used to our new apartment. Even though she has been a bit shy, Angel spent time just sitting near her and making sure she felt safe and was cared for while we were away. He sent us frequent updates so we weren't worried and was a great communicator. We will definitely book with Angel again in the future!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Montgomery

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montgomery is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $52 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,753 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montgomery. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
