“Jessica was amazing & my 2 dogs & cat were well cared for while we were out of town. I have never left my pets with anyone they didn’t know before but, after meeting with Jessica & getting feedback while we were gone they were all happy & getting lots of love & attention which made our trip so much more enjoyable. She came over prior to our trip to get the run down of their schedule & needs. She took the time to answer any questions & made me feel very comfortable our pets would be well cared for. The communication during our trip was excellent & we received updates & photos. Our house was even well cared for & clean when we retuned & all pets were happy as if we were not even gone! I would highly recommend her & will use her again!”
“First Dalton is an amazing person! We are blessed to have found him! He cares! He truly cares! Your fur babies become his! I cannot express more thanks and gratitude to Dalton!”
“Michael has watched our dogs twice now. His communication is excellent, and he probably takes better care of our dogs than we do! It’s obvious he truly cares about our animals. Thank you Michael for giving us peace of mind that our dogs are well cared for while we’re away!”
“Abigail did an excellent job staying at my house and taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I really appreciated the daily photos!! I will call Abby next time for sure. Thanks Abby!!”
“Sara was amazing with our little 16 year old Chihuahua mix. She was very attentive and did everything that we asked of her for our senior dog. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“Morgan did a wonderful job caring for my three dogs while I was out of town. She handled it with confidence and care. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She was also very attentive and respectful of my home. I will absolutely continue using Morgan in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Raylin did an outstanding job caring for our pups while I was out of town. Jaxon & Maggie seemed happy & content when I returned home after 5 days. I would highly recommend Raylin!”

About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾
“Jordan recently house sat for us and took care of our greyhound. She did a great job! Our poor dog had just broken her toe and was in a splint, so she required extra care and medication. We could not have asked for better care. She is highly recommended and we are looking forward to using her services again.”
“Jordan performed a miracle while she sat our girls, she made friends with our little gremlin of a Chihuahua! She took great care of Margo and Coco Beans while we were away and stepped in for us very last minute. We will definitely have her sit with our girls again in the future!”
“I can’t recommend Emma enough! Leaving my kitten, Lumi, for the first time was something I was really nervous about, but Emma made the entire experience so much easier. She took such amazing care of Lumi, gave her lots of love and attention. When we came home, the house was incredibly clean. It was such a relief to come home to a happy, well cared for kitten and know she had been in such good hands. Emma truly went above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I will absolutely be asking her to watch Lumi again. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and who will treat your pets like family, Emma is the perfect choice!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montrose
I cannot say enough good things about Jessica. Both times I’ve used her, I reached out at the last possible minute — the night before I had to leave — because I was dealing with a family medical emergency and had to get to New York on short notice. Both times, she made accommodations and showed up the very next morning without hesitation. I don’t leave my animals with just anyone. My two small dogs and my cat are my children, and I am always terrified to leave them. Jessica stayed in my home, took care of all three of them, and honestly my dogs were in better spirits when I got home than when I left — friskier, happier, more themselves. That has never been the case for me before. She sends pictures and updates while I’m away, and I feel a wave of relief every single time one comes through. She never once complained about a thing — she walked into a home she’d never seen, with dogs who’d never met her, on nothing but a key I left at the last minute, and handled all of it with grace. Jessica gave me peace of mind during one of the hardest stretches of my life. She has been an absolute godsend to me and to my animals, and I recommend her without reservation.
Val once again did an outstanding job caring for my dogs while I was on vacation. She’s incredibly reliable and treats my pups with so much love and attention. I really appreciate the regular updates and photos/videos she sends; they give me such peace of mind while I’m away. As an added bonus, she’s incredibly tidy and always leaves my home in great shape. I will absolutely continue using her in the future!
Gundi did a great job for us and highly appreciated and recommended. She did everything we asked of her and our dog attached with her quickly. When we returned back home, our dog excitedly went to me, then my husband and then to Gundi. I knew then that my dog was treated with the best of care while missing us. The pictures and videos she sent us each day was thee best part and helped us enjoy our trip. Thank you Gundi for everything!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 341 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montrose. 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 Montrose 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 Montrose 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 Montrose 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 Montrose. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
