“Felicia was Great! We have a big and anxious dog and she showed confidence and experience from the start as she met him, which made us feel secure to leave him with her! She gave us updates during her stay and left the house clean. Thank you, we appreciate it!”
“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!”
“Even as two very anxious pet parents, Amanda did an AMAZING job with our girls and gave us a great peace of mind that they were in good hands. She was also very communicative and respectful to our pets and home. She even did things we didn’t ask like tidying up the home a bit. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future and recommend you do too!”
“Klaudia was a great pet sitter! She sent pictures and updates about our pup each day, which was really nice. She was easy to communicate with and we would absolutely book her again.”
“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.”
“Jenny did a great job watching our 2 dogs for 4 nights! She communicated with us on a daily basis, providing pictures and detailed updates. She left the house spotless and even took the sheets and towels to the laundry room! Our dogs were happy and well cared for and we hope to have her back again in the near future!”

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.

“Heli did such an amazing job with our special needs dog. She left our house spotless, sent detailed updates everyday, and she made sure our dog felt so loved. We will definitely be booking with Heli again!”
About: I love all types of animals! I have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rabbits, and lizards. I will give the best care to your beloved pet. I would love to come to your home to care for your pets if you’re out of town. I can come in the afternoons/evenings. I could also pet sit on weekends and holidays. I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog and 2 cats of my own. I have a crate if needed. If I go to your home, I will leave it exactly as I find it and make sure the pets have what they need.
“Relle is terrific - she has watched our two dogs multiple times and is wonderful with them. One of them has severe anxiety and boarding is not an option for him. In her short time with him, she's already won over his trust. She has great communication and keeps in touch with us every day to give us updates on the dogs and the house. We can't recommend her enough!”
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!❤️
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montgomery Village
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.
Relle is terrific - she has watched our two dogs multiple times and is wonderful with them. One of them has severe anxiety and boarding is not an option for him. In her short time with him, she's already won over his trust. She has great communication and keeps in touch with us every day to give us updates on the dogs and the house. We can't recommend her enough!
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.
My dog Roo had a wonderful time with Terra! She is professional, friendly, and sent me the perfect amount of updates while I was gone :) She took great care of both Roo and my house! I will definitely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Montgomery Village
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.
