“Meri was very responsible and caring. She took great care of Bubba and Panda. The dogs were happy and well fed. My home was immaculate when I returned. I would be happy to use her again.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s excited to start pet sitting. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat of my own, and I grew up with a family dog who was a beloved part of our family until he passed away from old age. My grandmother also had several dogs while I was growing up, so I’ve spent years around dogs of all different personalities and energy levels. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat every pet with the same patience, affection, and care that I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel right at home. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own cat daily by making sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m used to planning my day around an animal’s needs and understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular routine. If I’m caring for your pet, I’ll make sure they get the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I always aim to keep pets as comfortable as possible by following their normal routine. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I respect your home by keeping it clean and secure, and I’m happy to send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. If caring for a pet in my own home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease.
“Rebecca was amazing with my pup! She was very attentive and took her out frequently! She left our residence in perfect shape as well. I had no concerns while we were away and felt very comfortable with her care. I highly recommend! 😊”

“David & Lauren were great! The house sat for 5 nights and took great care of my two kitties. They were very responsive, sent photos/ videos, and even washed the bedding before they left! The next time I need a sitter they will be my first choice, I would recommend them to anyone.”


About: I currently have 2 fur babies of my own, a chihuahua mix and a standard poodle. I grew up with dogs and have experience making them feel loved and making sure they are well taken care of. I want to make sure your babies feel loved on and at home! I am a dog mom 24/7. I would love to take care of your pets the way I do mine! Dog walks can be given during the day and I also can drop in to check on your babies during the day as well! If your dog is coming to my home, I will make sure to give a warm introduction to my dogs to make sure they are comfortable. My dogs have lots of toys and your dog can bring some too! I stick to a routine with my pups, so that is something I am willing to do for yours!
“Krystl did an amazing job watching over our two boys while we went out of town for a few day. Both the boys loved her. I would HIGHLY recommend her again many more times in the future. Thank you so much Krystl for watching over and taking great care of both my boys. 🥰❤️”


About: I have grown up with animals all my life! I love all kinds of animals and love going on walks with dogs the most! I’ve stayed with dogs and cats while family and friends have been out of town. I’m currently working a full time job but i take care of animals before work and after work. I get off work early on Thursdays and Fridays as well I don’t take care of animals at my house due to my parents being allergic to cats/dogs. I usually come to the house to take care of animals/house sit

“We are so glad our friends referred Chuck to us for house sitting our two big boys! Chuck did an amazing job--not only did we come to a clean house, but our dogs were well taken care of and we received multiple updates throughout the day. We definitely trust Chuck with our boys and house and will be booking him in the future.”

“ABSOLUTELY FIVE STARS!!! Will be using her everytime!!! She kept our dogs at our air bnb for the day so we didn’t have to worry about them needing to go to the bathroom or getting anxious in a new setting. Sally absolutely rocked it with our great dane and pitbull Mix! Out great dane weighs 163lbs and our pitty weighs 55lb so she could definitely handle her own!!!”

“Chloe took such good care of our Gracie girl! She communicated well, sent pics and left our home in tiptop shape after housesitting for several days. We were delighted to find she went above and beyond - washed all the linens she used, picked up poop in the yard and covered our hot tub when the cover flew off unexpectedly. Our pup seemed very content and loved when we arrived home. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been dedicated to animal care since the age of 7. My experience includes volunteering at shelters, training dogs, and providing essential services such as bathing and walking. Additionally, I have offered pet-sitting services for family and friends, further enhancing my skills in animal care and companionship. With open availability I’m am able to be there when you need me whether it’s morning , afternoons , or night or an emergency and you can’t be there like you planned I got you! By following their routine for feeding , exercise as well as providing company and ensuring their safety and comfort by monitoring their behavior. Making sure their environment is clean and well maintained.
About: I believe I’m an excellent pet sitter because animals have been a huge part of my life from the very beginning. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I’ve personally bottle fed kittens, puppies, and baby goats, giving me hands on experience with pets that need extra attention and care. I also attended veterinary classes through LSU’s agricultural program, where I learned valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and proper care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a comforting presence, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I currently work in Healthcare at North Oaks Hospital. I take care of my pet daily, as I would yours once we figure out which days i’m need to care for your baby! Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention while following their normal routines as closely as possible. I carefully monitor their behavior, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and ensure all doors, gates, and leashes are secure. By providing a calm, loving atmosphere and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs, I help them feel safe, happy, and stress free while their owners are away.
“10/10 I will be hiring David again!! I have had good and bad experiences using this app, and David is by FAR the BEST person I have hired! He sent me plenty of pictures and updates about his adventures with my dog Charlie. I knew when we was able to potty and walk. Charlie got plenty of quality time and all of his energy out on his long walks with David. Not only was David very communicative, at one point the app was not working and he sent me his number so we could stay in touch. He even went above and beyond and vacuumed up some dirt that Charlie created and left a sweet note when he left! My apartment was clean when I returned and exactly how I left it. David was punctual, professional, great at communicating, took Charlie on long walks, spent lots of time with him, and was the best sitter I have used in this app! Having a great sitter gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. When I came home, Charlie was so happy and calm, so I know David treated him super well!! I am so grateful I chose David and definitely recommend you choose him for your sitting needs! Thank you David ❤️”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, the occasional hamster, growing up. I love animals! I’m from the south and have come across all types of puppies (including gator pups) I have no problems in gaining new friends :) I am currently free lancing in artistic endeavors and having a friendly pet would help with the time I’m at home needing a little company and a less… talkative version than human conversation! I love animals and have experience with all types! (I’m from Louisiana so I mean ALL types) including the senior doggies ;) I have a closed in front patio with a little nature-esque ground for quick potty breaks and just to sunbathe when the need arises. I take walks often and live in a neighbor hood away from a busy strip so I can keep pets safe and exercised!
About: I am a veterinary technician for 4 years now but have worked with animals since I was 16. I truly do have a passion for helping and caring for any and all animals I have a very flexible schedule and I am off most weekends . I can pretty much work with anyone’s schedule for walks and checking in I am very experienced in give meditation and taking care of elderly dogs and also aggressive dogs. I am also very respectful of others property and belongings
About: All the Doggies sleep with me in my bed! They are allowed on furniture & anywhere they’d like to be comfortable. I worked for Companion Animal alliance in Baton Rouge working with dogs & cats as a caretaker. I mobile groom for people around the Livingston parish area & I’m well known on the nextdoor app. I have a bunch of references! I am very passionate about your fur babies & one day will open up my own business building for grooming/boarding & as new clients you would be adding to my fund for that. It has been my life long dream to accomplish this one day & I am going to keep working towards that. I want to expand this business into something much bigger & for people to feel at ease with leaving your babies in the care of someone who will love them unconditionally. All you have to bring for your baby is their dog food/cat food. I have dog/cat bowls, leashes, toys, puppy pads, litter boxes, litter, cat toys, cat/dog beds, ( I supply dog treats ) I do not put the babies in kennels unless instructed to do so by you if you bring your own. At bed time I put on relaxing music for the dogs to calm down & sleep, heating pads for cold nights, lots of blankets & beds. Any of their comfort items I would suggest bring with them. I do live in a new trailer, lots of room for your babies to roam & play! non smoker. I have experience with large dogs to small dogs, senior dogs & ones with bad anxiety or kennel aggressive ect. I also have experience with birds, especially parrots. I know how to handle in any situation when it comes to different behaviors from animals. I am also pit bull friendly 💕 The babies I board/doggy daycare have FREE ROAM. Which means they can go as they please anywhere in my home, they can sleep with me or they can sleep on the couches or their beds, but If you prefer your baby in a kennel at night, I will respect your wishes. I only have one kennel designated just for that.. You will receive lots of pictures/videos & updates to the point where it may be a little annoying but you’ll never have to text me first checking on them. I give them lots of love! I stay home everyday with the babies, so they will get all of the attention they need. The night before pick up/drop offs, I do give them a bath, each one no matter what. I can pick your dog up or drop them off, I have never had an issues with any dogs fighting, running off or accidents. I am VERY experienced in RUNNERS, the ones who wait for you to open the door to escape. Never had a runner succeed in getting away. I can clip your babies nails & give them a little trim if need be free of charge. If your dog needs medication I can administer it to them at the times needed. Prozac, prednisone, insulin, antibiotics ect, I’m familiar with all. Thank you for taking the time to read this & hopefully you have found the right sitter for your baby/babies. 🐶 I bring the babies to the dog park twice a week along with water treats & toys. I can manage 5 at a time ( leashed ) I do have a fenced in yard with a doggy pool, it’s covered & has pet turf. Lots of room for your baby to play!! This is what I do for a living! I eat breathe & sleep doggies. I stay home full time & when I say full time it’s me & the pups home everyday. I LOVE & taking care of your 4 legged sweetie pies, when you book with me it will allow me to continue to care for the fur babies & accomplish my life long dream to open up a bigger place to care for more. 💕 I truly appreciate repeat customers, but with inflation the way that it is, the cost of gas being so high, I had to make the difficult decision to raise my prices up to $2 more since last year. I understand if you choose to look elsewhere for services, but I hope that you choose to continue to use me. & for new clients ❤️ I have a small male dachshund that gets along with animals & kids very well! I am 100% committed to your pets to make them & you comfortable with my services. I treat my clients babies just like I would my baby!

FAQs for House Sitting - Montpelier
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 148 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montpelier. 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 Montpelier 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 Montpelier 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 Montpelier 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 Montpelier. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 90% 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.
