About: Hi, I’m Hanna, and I love animals all shapes and sizes! I grew up surrounded by all sorts of pets and helped care for them by the age of 7! I have since had 15 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats! I prioritize meeting the animals needs of each client I have. For those with more energy, I love going for walks, hiking, and playing fetch! I am also content to bask in the sun or curl up with the older and calmer pets too! If I sound like a good fit for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I currently work full-time M-F 8-5 with a flexible lunch break to allow visits and potty breaks for the pets I care for. This addition to my schedule is to add some extra fun and adventure to my days. Plus I love all the pets, but currently do not have any of my own to enjoy. I have house sat for many people including family, neighbors, and other folks like you for the past 4 years! I keep a careful eye on those with a yard and enjoy taking all pets out for some fresh air and new smells on walks! I’m very adaptable and flexible with every environment and take the necessary precautions to ensure all pets safety at all times when I am caring for them.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have taken care of turtles, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs and cats. I have dealt with new born dogs and elder care for dogs kittens and older cats. I have clipped nails and worked around many health concerns. I am excited to meet your animal(s) and give it the love it deserves. I am currently a student at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. My current schedule works out so that I am only taking classes in the morning from 8 - 11pm. This allows me all afternoon to spend with your pet. Most days I am free from class and only have a short meeting to attend. I am very flexible in my schedule. I have dog sat before for over a week and am able to build a good rapport with you dog making sure that they feel safe and loved where they are most comfortable.

About: I am an animal lover to the max. I have been a pet sitter for some years now and have enjoyed it all from training young pets to caring for our more senior animals. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and tend to their needs. I would be happy to bring your pet along with me in my day to day. I have an unfenced, private yard and a puppy to keep your pets company. I can crate your dog if needed, and I have ample space to give them whatever space they need to feel comfortable.

“Pilar was great with my dog and two cats. She took amazing care of them and sent updates and pictures everyday while I was gone. I was especially impressed that my dog, who always sleeps under the covers in bed with me, actually listened and slept on the sofa chair by the bed for her since she mentioned she usually has the dogs sleep not in the bed. He did great with it for her and was right back in bed with me when I got home. I would definitely book with Pilar again!”

The house was just like we left it and she even did the towels. I appreciated her taking such good care and playing with Lainey while we were away. Will definitely be using her again. Fabulous dog/house sitter.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since childhood, including a Pit Bull, a Boston Terrier, and my 3-year-old Boxer. I have also cared for a senior dog who needed medication and extra reassurance during fireworks, and I comfort my own Boxer through his fear of fireworks as well. I’m patient and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and needs. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, routines, medication schedules, and care preferences while maintaining clear communication and providing regular updates. I am a college student on a nursing pathway, and my class schedule leaves me with flexible time for pet care. My best availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons, as well as weekends. I can also accept selected visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays around my morning classes and evening lab schedule. I keep an organized calendar, so I will only accept bookings when I can give your dog reliable, unrushed attention. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and normal routine. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and household rules; keep dogs securely leashed outdoors; provide fresh water; and send regular updates. I have a 3-year-old Boxer and have previously dog-sat, so I understand the importance of patience, exercise, affection, and watching for changes in behavior. My Boxer currently lives with my family in another city, so there would not be another dog present with me at college. As a nursing-pathway student, I am responsible, attentive, and comfortable following detailed care and safety instructions.

About: Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for the past 20 years. This year I lost both of my fur babies, one due to cancer and the other due to old age and mobility issues. My love and compassion for animals will continue on and hopefully allow me to help others with their petcare needs. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life—from playful puppies who need patience, structure, and lots of attention to senior dogs who need extra comfort, care, and understanding. 🐶 Caring for puppies and helping them adjust to routines and new environments 🦴 Providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs 🐕 Handling both small and large breeds 🏡 Maintaining feeding, walking, potty, and medication routines as instructed ❤️ Providing plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, and one-on-one attention 👀 Closely monitoring pets for changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or overall well-being 🐾 Following each pet parent's instructions and keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible 😊 Understanding that some dogs are energetic and playful while others are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience 🐾 My Work Schedule and Availability I work a full-time job, with the flexibility to work from home two out of my five workdays. I’m available for pet care during evenings and weekends, and I can often adapt to other schedules when needed with advance notice. I understand that every pet and pet parent has different scheduling needs, so I do my best to be flexible and dependable. Whether you need evening visits, weekend care, or a customized schedule arranged ahead of time, I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Before beginning care, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, behavior, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I follow your directions carefully and maintain familiar routines whenever possible to help your pet feel safe and relaxed. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I supervise pets closely, use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, check doors and gates before leaving, and keep potentially harmful items out of reach. I also pay attention to weather conditions, your pet’s energy level, and any signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. If I notice anything unusual, I will contact you promptly and follow your preferred emergency instructions. I understand that welcoming a pet sitter into your home requires trust. I treat every home with care and respect, follow household guidelines, and keep your pet’s environment clean and comfortable. I provide regular updates, including messages and photos when requested, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.

About: Hi! My name is Aaniyah, and I’m a passionate animal lover with both professional and hands on experience caring for pets and farm animals. I’ve worked at several pet boarding and daycare facilities, where I cared for both dogs and cats, supervised group play, provided one-on-one attention, and made sure every pet felt safe, loved, and comfortable. I also gained valuable experience at the NCAT farm, where I worked with farm animals and learned about animal behavior, nutrition, and health. These experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals in different settings. I have skills in oral and injected medication administration, applying eye drops, and caring for diabetic dogs. I’m also experienced with senior pets and making sure they get the extra patience and care they need. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy, a senior dog who needs medication, or a cat who just wants cuddles and quiet company, I’ll tailor my care to their needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’ve worked at multiple boarding and daycare facilities, I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m flexible and can adjust to your pet’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, medication at a certain time, or evening play before bed. I’m not offering in-home boarding at the moment, so all of my services are focused on caring for pets in their own homes. I make sure to follow your care instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medications, or giving extra playtime, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d want for my own.

About: I have worked in veterinary hospitals ever since I was 16 years old. I am CPR certified in humans and animals. I have a home full of an Australian Shepherd, two cats and a very quirky turtle. I consider myself to be a bonus mom to all my pet sitting clientele. I do work from home and with my flexible hours, I would love to incorporate more animals into my life. I am very thankful to have a remote job that can follow me anywhere. I work flexible hours that give me plenty of time to give your babies all the love and attention they need while you’re away. I offer in house pet sitting, medication administration, even trained to offer any injectable medication required. I’m huge on sending my clients photos and updates on their pets throughout my stay and keeping them just as connected. I value a one on one to make your animal love me like second mom.

Adoni was wonderful with our two four-footers as always. She has taken care of our dog and cat multiple times. Adoni is so easy to work with and our pets clearly love her attention. She continues to be our first choice for house sitting.

We could not be more pleased with the care Adoni provided for our 3-year old dog and our 6 cats while we were away for 4 days. She came to our house in advance for a meet & greet, at which time she showed great interest in each of our pets, reviewed the care plans, and asked excellent questions. As requested, she stayed in our home overnight and at least most of the time during the day. She was totally trustworthy, reliable and professional. Adoni consistently went above and beyond in her constant attention to the safety and wellbeing of all our pets. She followed instructions, including medication administration, with precision. Adoni was kind, loving and patient with all our pets; we could tell that she genuinely enjoyed being with them, and they were all clearly very comfortable with her. Adoni always responded quickly to messages. She was consistently communicative, regularly messaging with updates and photos of each pet. She asked questions as needed. All that allowed us to relax while we were away. She left our house clean and tidy. It was so good to leave our pets in safe and experienced hands. We highly recommend Adoni (10/10) and will not hesitate to request her services in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Monticello

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Monticello is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $65 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 764 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 , 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 .

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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monticello. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
