“Jason was awesome and took care of our pup so well! We highly recommend him for his attention to detail and going above and beyond. Our pup definitely enjoyed the time away from us.”
About: I had a dog, her name was Kenya from 8-15 and she unfortunately passed from health conditions. She was a family dog I’ve known and looked after since I can remembered, my cousin gave her to me and my mother when they moved. As she got older, me and my mother had to give her medication for a couple months before, paying close attention to her habits during her later months :/ . I currently have a small, short-haired grey Cat named Sonny. I visit my cousin frequently throughout the month and I always offer to walk her dog because I enjoy walks! I’m currently working as a full time ortho assistant Mon-Thursday, Usually leaving the office around 4:30 pm. Fri-Sun I’m completely free. For overnight stays during my work days, I am willing to travel from your home to my job, leaving in the early mornings After consulting with future clients, I’ll keep track of any dietary needs, special care instructions and any indicator habits I should know about prior to servicing your fur baby!❤️
“Don is like the dog whisperer. He came over to meet our usually “nervous around new people” dog, and instantly won him over. In fact, he sat on his lap the entire time we were all there before we had to leave. Seeing that bond gave me immediate peace of mind in leaving our pup with Don. He was early to arrive, very respectful of our home, and always very responsive when I messaged for updates. We are 💯 going to ask him to sit again and would definitely recommend his sitting services to anyone. Thanks Don!”
“Once again, Allison did a great job taking care of our boys (and our house). Both the cat and the dog were excited to see her again. We will gladly continue to ask Allison to dog/cat/house sit when we go away.”
“Brandon was fantastic. He was prompt, easy to communicate with, took great care of my two dogs for a week. He left my condo very clean!! I came home to clean sheets on my bed!! I would highly recommend him.”
“Felicia was an incredible communicator, took fantastic care of our home, and we would definitely hire her again. We even had a surprise big delivery that she handled unexpectedly. Our pup was very well taken care of!”
“Klaudia was a wonderful pet sitter. Sent lots of pictures and communicated frequently which we appreciated. Already booked her for two more trips we are taking next month.”
“Keara did an amazing job taking care of our boy - providing regular updates and pics showing how happy he was with her while we were away. We had travelled abroad and knowing he was receiving such high quality care provided us with great comfort even though we always miss him terribly. I also wanted to add during our initial meet/greet meeting Winston and us, she was very conscientious of knowing all the intimate details needed for his care and asked real good questions. She has real good instincts and connected with him immediately and we knew we made the right choice in hiring her. We are extremely happy and grateful to have her as our pet sitter.”
“This was the first time we used Addies services for our two Great Danes. She was great. Kept us informed about them. They loved her. And they went looking for her after we got home.❤️ we would definitely love for her to care for our dogs again.”
“Heli was AMAZING when she stayed in our home to watch our severely speration anxiety ridden cockapoo, Ruby. I felt relieved and relaxed knowing Heli was watching Ruby while my family and I were away for a week. Although we had not previously met, I was immediately put at ease with the way she interacted with both Ruby and me. Heli also sent me a ton of pictures while we were away showing all the fun activities they were doing. She also kept to Ruby's schedule. As a very picky mama, I would 100% use and reccomend Heli in the future.”
“One of the best sitters I have had. Frequent updates, followed all instructions, went above and beyond. Dash was happy, well cared for, fed, clean, and loved. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Shannon.”
“Jina took care of our dog and home for 2 weeks while we were out of town. She was amazing. Our pup was well cared for and I so appreciated her daily updates and photos. Jina gave our dog his daily medication, took care of our plants, brought in mail/packages and cleaned up after our pup who likes to bring food across the floor. I highly recommend her and will be looking to use her services again in the future!”
“Taje was so amazing caring for our three dogs for a week. She sent daily pictures and communicated as much or as little as we wanted every day. We had special circumstances where one dog had to be consistently separated from another, and she handled that special situation with professionalism and expertise. Our house was cleaner than we left it (amazing considering how much our dog sheds!), and we had not one worry while we were away. We plan to use Taje again anytime we leave our house in the future!!”
“Mia was wonderful to work with. She was patient and gentle with Arya and communicated to us the whole trip. Our girl doesn't like just anyone and it was clear she was very comfortable with Mia. Additionally, she was flexible to add a other booking last minute for us. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
About: I have been around dogs almost my whole life and enjoy taking care of them! I got my dog when I was around 15 and she is genuinely the best part of my life! I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust enough to take care of your dog and will make sure that I can be that person for others. I’ve dog sat for people throughout the years and it is such an amazing experience to spend time with the dogs. I am currently searching for a full time job after recently finishing university so my availability to take care of your furry loved ones is pretty open. Growing up my mom has always been employed as a house cleaner and would take me with her to help, from a young age I’ve always known how to respect people’s homes even when they are not present. Ensuring that people are comfortable enough to trust me with their pet in their home is my utmost priority.
“Jeffrey was amazing with our two pups. We have one who is a bit anxious and fearful around new people, especially men, and Jeffrey quickly won him over! He was available for a meet and greet and gave tons of updates and photos to put our minds at ease. He is fantastic!!”
About: Hello! My name is Shanice and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have been taking care of animals specifically dogs ever since I was young. I have a dog of my own that I had ever since he was a puppy and he is 11 years old now so we basically grew up together. Not only I take care of a dog at home I also work with dogs on a daily basis. I work at a dog daycare facility so I feed, monitor, and train. I also work at a vet hospital where I help with the sick animals so you can see that animals are my life. If you have me looking after your fur babies I can guarantee that they are in the best hands. I am available for boarding on Sundays from 2pm to 5am. Wednesday from 2pm to anytime you want. I am also available on Thursdays openly. First I will make sure that they are well fed and well hydrated especially during the summer and have some quality playtime. If you allow me to bathe your pet I will to make sure they are all clean and comfortable.
“Michele stayed with our dogs for a week and took such great care of them (and our home!). She is caring, thoughtful, and thorough. We will definitely hire her again in the future. Highly recommended for your pet sitting needs!”
“Kenneth was wonderful! He look care of my baby dog like he was his own. My Sullivan loved him from the minute Kenneth stepped in the door! I highly recommend Kenneth for dog walking and overnight dog-sitting! Wry trustworthy and I’ll definitely use his expert services again!”

I cannot recommend Thelma more highly! She house-sat our cats for 10 days while we were away and did a phenomenal job. She gave updates and photos, made sure to clarify any questions with us promptly, and truly left our home cleaner than she found it. Great communication, super kind, and above all great with the cats!
Relle is wonderful! We went on a lengthy vacation and she provided excellent care of our pets, plants, etc. Her calm demeanor and personality really helped our pets adjust, especially our anxious dog. Relle sent daily updates and super cute photos, which gave us peace of mind while away. She also gave lots of attention, exercise, and entertainment to our cats and dog. Our fur babies adored her!
We have an 11-year-old Shih Tzu named Buddy who has never been boarded or crated. Because of this, our vacations have typically been limited to places we can drive so that we can take Buddy with us. We had used Rover before for drop-in visits and walks, but never for overnight house sitting. When we planned a recent vacation and didn’t have a family member available to watch Buddy, we found Nicole on Rover. Her reviews were excellent, and I believe she had a 4.9-star rating, so we decided to book with her. Before accepting the booking, Nicole came to our home for a meet-and-greet so she could meet Buddy, learn his routine, and make sure everyone was comfortable. We chose the house-sitting option because it was important to us that Buddy remain in his own home and have someone there with him. Booking Nicole was the best decision we could have made! She arrived on time and stayed with Buddy throughout our trip. She took him on multiple walks, administered his eye medication, took care of the house, and even took out the trash. Most importantly, she was wonderful with Buddy and gave him the attention and companionship he needed. Knowing that Buddy was comfortable at home and being well cared for allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. We felt very comfortable having Nicole in our home and caring for Buddy. We would absolutely book Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, attentive, and caring to look after their pet. Thank you, Nicole, for taking such great care of Buddy and giving us peace of mind while we were
Having confidence with someone staying in your home to care for your pets is EVERYTHING. Jason allowed for us to relax and not worry about leaving. He was great with our dogs, shared photos, followed detailed instructions and was very responsive. He also offered to stop back after the end of his stay if by chance we got stuck in traffic and the dogs needed out before we got home...pretty awesome. Thanks Jason! We hope you're available in the future when we need trusted pet sitting services.
Anna was great! She offered to come by beforehand to meet us and the dogs, which I really appreciated. She stayed overnight with them and was very responsive throughout, quickly sharing updates and photos whenever I checked in. We came home to two happy pups and I’d definitely recommend her!
Felicia cared for my 2 dogs, cat and chinchilla for 2 weeks while I was out of the country. This is her third time house/pet sitting for me. With a medically fragile dog, preplanning is essential and Felicia was on top it. I think it was beneficial to have Felicia house/pet fora shorter time prior to my longer out of the country trip. This approach let us figure out how to manage the pets especially our medically fragile dog. Felicia was very accommodating to this approach. It allowed both us to think about what we needed to do to make it successful for the medically fragile dog. I appreciate the great care my pets received from Felicia. I also appreciate the communication I received from Felicia. She provided daily updates and also reached out with questions; which is awesome. No one wants to be out of the country wondering if their pets are okay. Thank you, Felicia!
Abby house sat for us and provided excellent care for our 2 cats (1 very senior, serious old man and 1 young, skitzy girl). She did a great job managing complicated instructions and flawlessly cared for both cats. Abigail is a conscientious pet sitter and does a fabulous job!
Patricia is simply the best. Reliable and she knows pups and loves them; knows how to interact with them and, importantly, what questions to ask. We never had a worry or, frankly, second thought knowing she was providing care. We are so happy she helped and we will definitely use her again.
I'm so grateful to Romario for taking care of my senior cat, Neko, while I was away. Neko needs medication twice a day, and he's very shy, scared of strangers, and not easy to handle. I was honestly very nervous about leaving him, but Romario was incredibly patient and never gave up. He kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which meant a lot to me. Knowing Neko was being cared for made it much easier to enjoy my trip. If you have a cat who needs extra patience or medication, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Romario. Thank you for taking such good care of my little guy.
Luna stayed at our house with our lab for a week. Our pup seemed happy when we returned; Luna had to give her meds twice a day and follow her multi a-step feeding schedule. The house was clean and orderly ( and mail was picked up!). We hope to be in contact with Luna every time we have to be away from home she was great and communicative!
I was out of town and I got a alarm motion on my home camera and I saw FIREMEN in my house!! I texted Shannon and she jumped into action and she was at my house within 15 minutes to take care of my precious Cody. I Highly recommend Shannon and I will use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Montgomery Village on Rover is $72.15 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 11,224 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montgomery Village. 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 Village 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 Village 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 Village 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
