“Tucker did a great job watching Zoe & Mocha - regularly sent photos, provided updates from each visit, and was very communicative in providing care.”
“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”
“Sidney was a great sitter! She took such good care of my cat and provided the best updates! She also took such good care of my home while I was gone! I really like the report cards she provided for Mae, it was super cute! Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Bethany! I’ve been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years, and I truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry friends, I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. From energetic puppies to laid back seniors, I’ve worked with them all and love every minute of it. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to a sweet toddler who comes with me on all visits. He loves all pets and always calm, quiet, and close to me. Your pet will still receive my full attention, love, and care, with a gentle, nurturing presence alongside us. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Let’s set up a meet and greet I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I am a stay at home mom so that I can attend to your babies at any given time or help out in an emergency! I can provide for your babies with drop in visits or dog walking! I will provide everything you may need plus got the extra mile for you! I love on each pet as it my own, and send lots of pictures and updates!!
About: I have had a dog since I was 6 years old and have been taking care of dogs ever since. I have had a dog of my own for the past 3 years as well so have learned about raising a puppy into a young dog. I have patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals! I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to details, responsible, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s playing with an energetic puppy, reinforcing basic training, going on walks, or providing extra patience and gentle care for senior dogs, I’ll treat your furry family member like my own. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my top priority! 🐾 I currently only work 3-4 days a week and have frequent off days or days in between where I have ample time to care for pets I have a fenced in backyard and one friendly 3 year old dog. I can easily accommodate any of your pets needs and routines into my schedule.
“I can't recommend Kate enough! My doggo (Kooper) has some separation anxiety. When I reached out to Kate we discussed what her home would be like for a dog. I was a little nervous, because typically we ask sitters to come and stay at our house but decided that we would do a meet a greet to see how that went. Kate, Cody, Gus (dog), and Poe (cat) made our dog and us so comfortable. Gus and Kooper got along great and even though Koop has never been around cats, him and Poe were fast friends! Kate has a great yard for playing and her schedules allows for lots of 1:1 time with the pets. Kate was flexible, provided consistent updates, and was extremely responsive with her communications. Everything went wonderfully! Kooper was sent home happy, safe, and with a positive report card and goodies. I will definitely be connecting with Kate again about future visits!”

“Leanne was amazing! She watched our dog while we were on vacation out of the country. Everyday we received a few pictures and text messages about how he was doing. Charlie fell in love with her daughter and I think that bond helped him stay calm when we were away. I highly recommend Leanne for watching your animals! She did everything we asked of her and our little fur baby came home happy and excited to see us! He even whines when leaving Leanne’s house! Can’t wait to have her watch him again!”

Melissa was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of Max while we were away, and it was clear he had an amazing time with her. She is incredibly kind, caring, and truly loves the pets she looks after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Max was in such great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Monticello is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $64 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
