Katherine was great with the dogs and cat. She was able to stay on track with their food and potty schedule. She let us know immediately when one of the dogs had an accident on the couch and asked how we would like her to clean it up. She was willing to get the garbage and recycling out for us while we were out of town. The house was just as clean as when we left. She was very responsive to our messages. We will hire her again. We would highly recommend her.

Mary was great with communication and very flexible with scheduling for our meet and greet and for our trip. She was great with our dog, Buddy, and sent fun pics of him out enjoying life on their walks and all cozy at home! She also took good care of our home while we were away. I would definitely rebook with Mary!

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with five at a time—mostly black labs and black lab/German shepherd mixes—so I’m very used to bigger, stronger dogs. My dad often took us to dog events when I was a kid, which gave me plenty of experience handling all kinds of breeds and personalities. Along the way, I also picked up basic training skills, so I know how to keep dogs engaged, cared for, and comfortable. I’m currently a full time college student but I would be able give pet care in between classes during the day and some some weekends as needed When I care for pets in your home, I always follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while keeping things consistent with their food, walks, and sleeping schedule. I’m happy to reinforce any training or commands you use, and I’ll keep your home tidy while making sure your pet always has fresh water and a cozy space. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and cared for.

About: I work remotely in marketing full time. We’re very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.

Kris was a spectacular sitter. About the time that I thought about missing my pups, she had already send images and videos to let me know they were happy and doing well. She was quick to respond, helpful and great to work with. Would definitely have her back.

We booked Levi to watch our pets while we were away for our wedding weekend, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! He went above and beyond — coming to our house twice beforehand so our dogs (and even our cat!) could get comfortable with him. While we were gone, Levi took amazing care of our pets, including handling medications for our dogs with health issues, keeping us updated, and making sure everyone was happy and healthy. We came home to a clean house and happy pets! It gave us so much peace of mind during such an important weekend knowing our pets were in such capable and caring hands. We’ll absolutely be booking Levi again — highly, highly recommend! 🐶🐾

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs my whole life. I’ve had pretty chill dogs, rough dogs, and dogs that run away any chance they get. I’m prepared for any dog that I can take care of. I do have another job working an asphalt and sealcoat business. But we only work days when it’s not wet after rain or not raining at all. I work out a lot. Other than that I’m open at any time. And I can do over night. I feed my dogs and let them out whenever they need to be let out. If they need specific things such as to be kenneled or anything of that nature I can easily do. I can also keep company with the dogs and play with them.

About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.

About: Hi, I’m Izabelle! I’m a dedicated animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, including my own dog who has medical needs. This has taught me how to be attentive, patient, and responsible when caring for pets. I’ve also provided pet sitting for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, and I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. For the next three months, pet sitting will be my full-time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. After that, my availability will be more limited as I begin paramedic schooling, but I will still be available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I always follow the pet owner's instructions to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety by keeping a clean environment, monitoring pets closely, and making sure they are secure during walks and visits. I also have experience caring for a dog with medical needs and can provide extra attention when needed. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.

Ally is truly an amazing dog sitter and we’d confidently recommend her to everyone we know!! She watched our 110 lb malamute / shepherd mix named Winston for 8 days while my husband and I were on vacation and we could not have hoped for a better sitter for our boy. Winston has a lot of very strict dietary constraints and Ally managed it with total ease. Her communication was top notch, sending us updates and photos every day, which we were so appreciative of!! Our internet went out in the middle of the stay and a technician needed to come out to address it and make repairs - Ally handled the situation so smoothly, even taking down thorough notes for us to reference on the changes to our hardware & internet connection when we got back home. She was extremely patient, helpful & communicative throughout the whole ordeal! Ally was incredibly thoughtful with managing the upkeep / cleaning of our house, offering to go way above and beyond what we’d ever ask of her. Booking with her was one of the best decisions we’ve made, made even better by how much Winston loved his time with her - he went looking for her around our house the day after she left and we know he’ll be so excited to see her again one day ❤️ Thank you so much again for such an amazing stay, Ally!!

About: I am flexible. As a substitute teacher I am able to work different times throughout the week and weekends are generally open. I can generally make anything work. I work 8:30-4:05pm most weekdays but am free in the evenings and weekends. Communication is key, and I can make most things work with my schedule. I cannot do service in home but can do walks and sitting at your home. I currently live with roommates so this is unrealistic for me:

FAQs for House Sitting - Montgomery

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 717 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:

  • 100% 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.
