“Abbi was very reliable, easy to communicate, most importantly; she took the time to make sure she understood the dog’s strict time sensitive medication schedule. She also provided lots of pictures and updates for every visit. My dog was very well cared for and loved while we were gone. 100% recommend Abbi!”
About: animals have a very special place in my heart. I raised my mix Dallas from a puppy and he loved 9 years. I also had cats growing up so I have atleast 30+ years experience with cats and dogs i currently work in Many Glacier during the summer as a full time job. I have off 1 day a week and would be available in the mornings and afternoons I would feed twice a day and ensure that they have plenty of water. I would take them for walks. I have an open field so if they are off s leash they might have more fun
“Lauren was really great, especially given our cat is very skiddish/scared and runs under the sofa at the slightest noise. Thank you for being caring and compassionate. When we go out of town again, Lauren will definitely be our selection. We highly recommend her.”
“Lilliana was excellent and extremely professional. She was on time and went the extra mile to make sure our pets were taken care of. I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: My experience working in animal welfare taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and understanding each animal's unique needs. I know that finding someone you trust with your pets isn't easy, so I became a sitter to provide the kind of care and reassurance I would want for my own animals. I regularly care for my children's pets, and they love coming to Grandma's house! Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to familiar routines, I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. ❤️ I work from home two days each week to provide attention, companionship, and care. I'm also home most weekends, which allows me to maintain your pet's routine and make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and supervision while you're away. This flexible schedule helps us provide consistent care and ensures your pets won't be left alone for long periods. 🐾💙 Our dogs are an important part of the family, and they're treated that way every day. They enjoy daily walks, either on the trail that winds through our 5-acre property or around our quiet neighborhood. We also have a fenced acre where dogs can safely explore, play, and burn off energy. Pets are fed twice daily and receive plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it's snuggling on the couch, playing with toys, or enjoying outdoor time, we make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. Of course, good behavior is rewarded with treats! Two of our dogs especially love a good game of fetch, so you'll often find us outside throwing a ball and enjoying some extra playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, loved, and right at home while you're away. 🐾❤️
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.
“Alex is so great! He plays with the kitties and send pics and they seem well taken care of and so does the house! I feel so much better knowing Alex is there for the little monsters!”
About: I have always had a love for animals since a small child. My exposure and interest for neighborhood animals and pets brought on opportunities for pet sitting in my community growing up. This love grew into a passion/career as I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for 10 years and received my bachelors in Agriculture at Virginia State University in 2020. My schedule is currently flexible until October 19, 2026 allowing me plenty of time to tend to your pet(s) in need! After September, I will be available Monday-Thursday 6pm to 9pm and Friday- Sunday 9am to 10p. I have my own fur baby by the name of Sebastian. He is a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier who loves to socialize with people and pets. We currently live in a suburban neighborhood that will make you feel safe to leave your fur babies in my hands.
“Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.”
“This is our 1st experience using Rover as well as any professional dog sitting service. Let just say we're already locked in with Raye. She has great communication, as well as an amazing photographer.🤭 We recommend her for any services.”
About: I have had all sorts of animals throughout my life. I’ve never worked with dogs professionally but I’ve had multiple family dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Pit bulls and I loved and cared for all of them. I currently have 2 Pit bulls that are loved and happy. I also often help pet sit in the neighborhood. During the school year I will be in class from 8 to 3 but after that I have plenty of time to walk and/or care for your pet. I have no other priorities so taking care of your fur baby will be my main focus. I am typically well liked by dogs and I am patient with dogs that are still in training so if needed I can go at your dogs pace making them more comfortable.
“Michelle was diligent and caring while we were out of town for the weekend. We were able to travel with peace of mind due to her level of care. Will be rebooking!”
“Briar was absolutely AMAZING. She dropped in to check on my girl while I was gone over the weekend. My dog can be very timid with new people and Briar was so patient and gave her all the love that she would allow her to give. Briar made sure to send pictures and update me with each check in. Will DEFINITELY be using her in the future”
“Haley did an amazing job for us in a pinch at Christmas! We truly appreciate you being patient with Biggie and Nipsey, and making sure they were able to get out and eat! We will definitely be looking to book Haley again, hopefully this time not so last minute on our part! 😁”
About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.
About: I have cared for dogs starting in middle school, for a variety of neighbors, friends, and family members. I really enjoy spending my time with dogs, whether that be walking, playing, or just relaxing together. I currently am participating in a program with America's Vet Dogs, where future service dogs are trained by inmates at local prisons, and individuals/families sign up to take 1 dog every weekend for a year, to provide the experiences out in the world that these pups need to become amazing service dogs! This is my second year my mother and I have been a part of this program, and I have learned so much about dog training that I never knew before! I feel confident that this experience with training and taking care of a dog that isn't mine has made me a qualified pet sitter. I am currently in grad school, so I have free time during the day to walk or drop in on pets! I can be quite flexible with my availability and schedule because of the nature of my grad program. In your home, I will ensure that your pet is safe and cared for always. Whatever your home situation, I can easily accommodate to your dogs and cats the best care, making sure that they feel loved and are having fun! I love to get outdoors, and can easily handle active dogs with lots of walks and playing!
“Ethel took wonderful care of my senior special needs little old lady, Kerry. Kerry was so comfortable with Ethel--she allowed head petting, which is something we don't get to do often! Would book Ethel again, for sure!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for over 7 years, starting with my own dog who’s been with me since I adopted him when he was 1 yr old. While I haven’t done formal training or grooming, I’ve handled daily care routines like walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s companionship or daily care, I bring patience, affection, and a calm presence to every visit. I work full time but work Monday and Thursday’s from home so I can hang out with them all day! I can check in on your pet those days along with weekends! Would love to take them on a walk. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication needs. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
About: Hi everyone! I work from home and would love to be able to use my flexible work schedule to make a little extra money, hang out with adorable animals, and provide care and attention to them. All my life I have had dogs and cats who mean the world to me. Any time I have to be away from them, or need someone to care for them, I want the absolute best person for the job. It’s what our pets deserve! I’d love to be that person for others. I work from home Monday-Friday! Because of this, I’m able to work remotely from anywhere. I’d love to be able to use that flexibility to petsit. I have a few meetings throughout the day, but otherwise I have very open availability to give lots of attention and time to your pets! I’d care for pets in my client’s home exactly how I’d want someone to care for mine. I have a dog who is my whole world, and I’d want to give that same care and attention that she deserves from those who have watched her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,457 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montpelier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
