“Lauren was great. She took great care of my pups and sent lots of pictures. They were true wore out when we got home which means they got lots of exercise and free air. Will most definitely use Lauren again.”

About: I’m available for pet sitting throughout the school year and am happy to help with whatever you need! I can do drop-in visits, stay at your home overnight, or care for your pet at my home depending on what works best for you. I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals. If your pet does well with other animals, they’re more than welcome to stay with us! If you’d rather keep them comfortable in their own home, I’m also happy to come to you. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. 🐾 I am open during the summer for whatever is needed! I can come to your house once, twice or how many times you need me. I can stay overnights. I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs and two cats. If you prefer to have your animal here we are more than welcoming to have your pet in our home. If you are more comfortable with me coming to your house I’d be happy to do that aswell!

“We had a wonderful experience with Enrique! From the start, his communication was excellent. He was quick to respond, clear with details, and kept us updated throughout the stay. He arrived exactly when he said he would and made sure our two dogs felt comfortable. We really appreciated the photo updates. It was so nice to see our dogs happy and relaxed while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Hope did a great job watching my dog Charlie. She was communicative and gave him a lot of love and special attention. She picked up the booking with only a couple days notice (life saver) and even made time in her day to make sure to give him a walk - even walking him on the day that we got home.”

About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals especially dogs and cats! I have 2 dogs (mini dachshund and german shepherd) and a cat, so I’m used to taking care of diverse pets. I’m comfortable with taking care of feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, giving lots of attention, and making the pets feel comfortable while you are gone. I’ve been trusted watching family, friends and neighbors pets for years now! I’m a very patient, responsible owner and I love spending time with animals! I am currently in school 3 days a week in the mornings so I will have plenty of time to watch your pets! I’m at home most of the time. I am available on weekends fully, weekdays I am open after 12pm! (Mondays after 3 because of long classes) Making pets feel comfortable and safe if the most important thing to me! At home, I make sure they have plenty of attention, food, and clean water. I love cuddling and playing with them. I take my pups on walks and ensure they’re safe. I’m able to follow your pets daily routine as close as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks and anything else you need. I’m also here to help keep your space tidy! But most important, I am here to give all the love and attention your pet needs.

About: I have dedicated 20 plus years to doing what is best for the animals in my life and in my care. Not only are my animals treated as if they were my children, but your animals will be treated with the same love and respect. My house is currently filled with love in the form of 2 dogs, 3 birds, and 1 cat. Outdoor fenced in play area! Indoor lounge 1,000sq ft! 24/7 water available! Discounts available for well behaved dogs! When your pet is with me, be reassured they are well cared for and loved. My home resides in a residential neighborhood sitting in over 2 acres, and is a 4 level house where the animals are free to roam the whole house, as well as a fenced in yard in the back, so the animals have plenty of room to run around. Within the house there is water available 24/7, pet beds to lounge on, toys to play with, along with that when in my care the animals are allowed on the beds and furniture, unless your rules do not allow that, and in that case those rules will also be enforced with your pet(s) while in my care. My home also includes a “safe room” which means it is a room specifically for entering and exiting the home through the front of the house which is not fenced in, which this ensures no escaping by any of the animals. This room also allows the new first time friends to meet the current friends in my care safely. In the end I thank you for trusting me with the care of your pets and I can’t wait for them to become a new forever friend in my house. --------Disclaimer---------- Brunell Pet Services (Brunell Enterprises LLC) -We do provide our customers 25,000$ coverage accident/injury coverage for a deductible of 100$ Rates provided on the Rover Platform are Tax inclusive. We are a dedicated pet care provider, meaning we have staffing 24/7 in our home and in the field! From boarding to dog training and dog walks we are here for you and your pets! We have a dedicated entrance and multiple fenced in play areas including 1000sq ft indoor play area in addition to our home! We also have video surveillance throughout the property along with controlled access points!

About: I am a dedicated and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I always make sure pets have plenty of fresh water and get the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy, while paying close attention to their individual routines and needs. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and have hands-on experience working in the veterinary field, which allows me to provide knowledgeable and attentive care. Their dog would fit well into my daily routine. Since I work part time, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to provide consistent care, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I make it a priority to plan my day around the dog’s needs to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition, I have fostered many animals, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and medical needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs and all animals my whole life and an array of animals growing up. I’ve gained professional dog training and handling experience over the last year and a half. I’ve managed large groups of dogs and worked more independently on individualized training. I have 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats so I know how important it is for your furry friends to get loving care while you are traveling. I’m hoping to gain a clientele of drop in dog walking clients during the day on the weekdays. My work can be very flexible, so I can drop in to care for you dog during the work day. I will care for your pet by providing drop in services for dogs where we could go for a walk or play in clients yard if Applicable. Care for cats by dropping in checking food and water, scooping litter, and giving your cat some love.

FAQs for House Sitting - Monticello

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Monticello on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 845 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Monticello. 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 Monticello 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 Monticello 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 Monticello 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 Monticello. On Rover:

  • 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
