“Ann was great taking care of my two fur babies. More than just needing to be let out to go to the bathroom, they need love and affection when I am gone and she delivered. She arrived on time and cuddled with them so they felt like they weren't missing anything. I was quite happy with her services!”
“I needed a last-minute cat sitter for my wedding weekend, and Katie helped me out tremendously! Has a fellow cat mom herself, I completely trusted her with my two babies! She was excellent and sent very cute photos! 10/10 recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m Elaine! I recently moved to Cincinnati after graduating from Hanover College this May and am really excited to get into animal-care here! I love dogs and am passionate about animal welfare. I have years of experience between my family’s two dogs, my five foster dogs, and from being an active volunteer at my local humane society. Through my time as a humane society volunteer and staff member I have become comfortable with dogs of all energy levels, breeds, and sizes. I am committed to using my experience to ensure the best care possible for your pets! I’d love connect and talk more! I currently work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day! I’m also available on weekends and during evenings Tuesday through Thursday. I love spending my free time with animals and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I have experience fostering dogs through animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I always make sure pets feel safe and loved while sticking to their normal routines. Whether that means going on walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing together, I tailor my care to each pet. I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have even fostered a few pups/kittens. Growing up, my favorite place to visit was my family’s farm in Mississippi, where I’d spend hours watching the horses and bulls. Today, I have a fur baby of my own and understand how much they mean to you. When you trust me with your pets, I’ll treat them as if they were my own—with love, patience, and care. Pet sitting is my therapy, and it brings me so much joy to meet and care for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I balance a busy life studying as an undergraduate at UC, but pet sitting is my form of therapy. Taking care of animals brings me so much joy and helps me recharge. I love meeting different pets and building a connection with each one. No matter how full my schedule gets, I always make time to provide attentive and loving care to your furry family members. Let me know how I can make life easier for you and your pets. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on understanding and maintaining their normal routines to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, walking preferences, playtime habits, and any special care instructions you provide. Keeping your pets happy and stress-free in their own environment is my top priority.
“We had Gwen sit our two dogs with periodic drop-in visits while we were away on vacation, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided them! She really went above and beyond with their care, even taking the time to take one of our dogs to the vet for an appointment that had to be done during the time that we were away. It wasn't an ideal circumstance for us to have to ask a sitter to do such a thing, but Gwen had no problem going the extra mile for us, and it was incredibly helpful that she was able to do so. We couldn't be happier with the care Gwen was able to provide!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life. I’m passionate about the care & love all dogs get. Let me help you love your fur baby! I have a flexible, daily schedule. I love to be outside and can help your dog get the extra love, attention and exercise it needs. The care and safety of your pet is always the 1st priority. I can walk slow, fast or even jog if you’d like more exercise for your pet.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since i was 10 and doing animal jobs ever since i was 16! My future goal is to become a veterinarian. I’ll only be working part time soon and can have lots of availability dog/cat sitting. I’m also able to drive to houses and can do overnights depending on person! I would be taking them for walks, feeding, general care, and checking in often. Working with a boarding place before I know many different animal cues and their boundaries within
“Crystal is great! She checked on my cat, Walter, followed instructions, and as super friendly, and great communicator. As an added bonus, she even swept floors, wiped down counters, etc! I will definitely reach out to Crystal in the future and 100% recommend her!”
“We have booked Christiane to take care of our cat several times and each time she is fantastic!! Truly goes above and beyond and is so reliable and attentive! Thank you Christiane!!”
“Saige was absolutely fantastic! Super responsive and professional, and clearly a pet lover! I was in a pinch and contacted her on short notice and she was able to accommodate. Our Zoey pup loved her! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have my own two cats currently. My childhood dog had epilepsy and was on medicine multiple times a day and I was his caretaker to help my family with their work schedules. I give my kitties love first try big in the morning but before I leave I feed them and scoop the box. I make sure to play with them before bed so they have activity and get their energy out. I let my cats free roam while I’m away for the day but I grew up with a crate trained dog. I’ve pet sat for friends before who have restrictions where their pet goes and I’ve been able to follow their directions.
“Edina was communicative and considerate when watching my two cats over the holiday. I appreciated the quick messages and pics which let me know my kids were important to the sitter. As a pet parent with a special need for oral meds to be administered around feedings, I know my cat is not the easiest job. I would most definitely hire Edina again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Montgomery
We are so grateful we found Lindsay!!! She was wonderful, and our pups were clearly happy in every photo she sent during her visits. She is very sweet and great with communication. We lost power due to a storm while we were away, and she immediatley reached out to let us know and ask what, if anything, she needed to do. From our very first meeting I felt confident about hiring her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!! Thank you, Lindsay!!! :)
Kylie watched our two dogs for a long weekend and was great! She took them for walks, made sure they had fresh water and food at dinner time, sent us updates throughout the visits, and was so easy to work with! I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for help with their animals. You can tell she really cares and is someone we will definitely book with again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Montgomery is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $29 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 2,429 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Montgomery with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
