“Cody was wonderful! He followed all of our specific house-sitting and pet care instructions perfectly. We really appreciated how attentive and respectful he was of our home, and he sent regular updates and photos so we always felt at ease. Our dog was clearly happy and well cared for when we returned. Highly recommend Cody — we’d absolutely book him again!”

“Brigette was wonderful! She stayed at our house for a week and took great care of both our pups and our home. She kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind and made us feel confident that our dogs were happy and well cared for. She also went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used and leaving the house in great condition. It was so nice to come home to happy dogs and a clean house. We would absolutely book Brigette again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.”

About: I have been pet/ house sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for over two years now. I do have experience with taking care of senior pets. I am available day to day unless I already have another gig booked! Both week days and weekends are good for me. (Message to confirm availability.) Before starting any gig, I always ask pet parents what they expect of me when it comes to feeding, walking, and, in general, assisting their pets, and follow any instructions given.

About: I grew up with dogs and have loved having them in my life ever since. My family had Cocker Spaniels and Golden Retrievers, and later I adopted a mixed-breed dog of my own. Having my own dog taught me that every pup is different. Some are immediately affectionate and trusting, while others need a little more patience and time before they feel safe with someone new. I learned how important it is to pay attention to their cues, respect their boundaries, and let trust build naturally. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their person is away. I work remotely as a brand designer, so pet care fits very naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout most of the day and already take regular breaks to get outside and walk, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. My schedule also gives me the flexibility to follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I know every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, so I like to take the time to let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow the care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any little routines that help your dog feel at home. When caring for a dog in my apartment, they’ll have a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned space and plenty of company since I work from home. When staying in a client’s home, I’m equally mindful and respectful of both their pet’s routine and their space. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I am a dog mama to a 13 year old chihuahua who I've had the pleasure of caring for throughout every era of her life. Before that I cared for our family dog until his passing at the age of 18. I love pets of all ages, but find caring for senior animals to be a particular honor. Our pets bring so much joy to our lives and my goal as a pet sitter is to provide comfort, care and love to all animals. Especially while there human counterparts are out of town. As a pet mama, I understand the importance of sharing updates and communicating with my fellow pet parents! Btw I work from home so if I'm watching your babies, I'll be with them most of the time. I work as a freelance fashion designer and stylist, so as long as we discuss scheduling ahead of time, I will be very available to care for your pets! At this time I am only taking on clients with pets who are okay with me bringing my dog along. My pets practically run my household and I build my work and social schedule around whatever my pets may need!! While caring for my clients home/pets I make sure to provide all fur babies with the love and affection they not only require, but deserve. I implement enrichment practices such as walks or playtime as well as whatever each individual pet parent requests.

“My dog Pod is usually pretty anxious if my husband and I leave him anytime other than our normal work times, but he seemed very comfortable with Michael right away. Michael sent us a picture and update part way through the stay, which was nice, and Pod was happy to see us when we got home but seemed clam and not anxious at all!”

About: Welcome to Sung & So Pet Care! Our family, including our beloved Cocker Spaniel Sunny, provides a cage-free, loving home for dogs. With over 4 years of experience caring for various breeds, we follow each dog’s routine closely and ensure every pet gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, just like Sunny enjoys every day. I stay at home every day, making food and taking care of the dogs. My husband goes to work every day and my son goes to school in the morning and goes home to do other activities. On his free time, he usually plays games or plays with the dogs. I care for pets in a safe, calm, and loving environment where they are treated like family. In my home, dogs stay in a cage-free space and are supervised throughout the day. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I also reinforce basic manners and leash etiquette during walks. Upon request, I provide homemade meals or treats once a day in addition to their regular food, and for long-term stays, I offer bathing services. To ensure a healthy environment, all pets must be up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and on regular flea prevention. I require advance booking and strongly recommend a meet-and-greet visit before care begins so pets can feel comfortable and adjust well. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always safety, consistency, and giving each pet the same love and attention I give my own. 🐶💛

About: Hi pet parents, I’m Tauri. 🙋‍♀️ Nice to meet you 😊. . I’ve been taking care of pets - my own and other people’s - for years. My commitment to safety and wellbeing is so strong that I became a K9 Search and Rescue volunteer. . I have cared for large dogs (100- 130lbs), fostered a pit bull puppy and GSDs with separation anxiety, reactivity and aggression. I’ve also cared for very small dogs including multiple poodles less than 10lbs. . I potty trained many puppies and I’ve cared for senior dogs with incontinence issues. . In addition to dogs (and cats), I’ve cared for a boa constrictor, bunnies, a guinea pig, a green cheek conure and horses. . I am currently without my own pet and I enjoy helping neighbors and friends with theirs. I joined Rover to be a reliable, trustworthy resource for pet parents who don’t have a responsible friend or neighbor to help them. . I’ve completed Michael Shikashio’s Aggression in Dogs Master course. I am enrolled Susan Clothier’s Treat Retreat Certification Course. I am a member of Pet Sitter’s International and the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. . If you prioritize your pet’s health, happiness and safety and want a dog walker/pet sitter who is independently insured and will send consistent updates, please get in touch to set up a meet and greet. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you and your pets. 😊 Have a pawsitively wonderful day. 🥰🐾 I work remotely, which means I can spend a lot of time with your pets during a housesit. I am also available for day sits (daycare in your home). . Unlike many sitters, I do not need to leave during the day for long periods. All I need is a place to work with reliable high speed WiFi, in a clean, comfortable, quiet space without cameras or audio recording. . I can feed and take the dog(s) out to potty in the morning before starting work and I can take the dog(s) on a potty break midday. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to leave to get food and basic necessities during a house sit at any point. I also reserve the right to leave for 4-6 hours during the day. . Constant Care: Pets requiring constant care will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to additional fees depending on the pets specific needs. I consider a pet to need constant care if the pet: (1) cannot be left for 4 hours at a time and/or (2) will need supervision or attention during 8 hours overnight (sleep time for me) or during the day while I work. In-person Meet & Greets are required prior to all services for new clients. I need to meet the pet(s) and assess temperament. . For dogs I want to go on a walk with the dogs and make sure the leashes, collars and equipment used to walk the pet is in good condition and the pet cannot slip out of the equipment. I want to see the typical walk environment and assess potential safety hazards (coyotes, aggressive dogs behind flimsy fences, debris in the area, etc.) and logistical issues (elevators, stairs, parking). . For all pets the in-person Meet & Greet will also allow me to assess the escape risks for pets and options for minimizing these risks. . The Meet & Greet will also allow you the opportunity to meet me in person, ask me questions and see me interact with your pet. Entrusting your pet and your home to a stranger is a very important decision for you and it should be taken seriously. If for some reason you do feel comfortable with me watching your pets or staying in your house after the Meet & Greet, you should meet with another sitter and find one that matches your needs. . Miscellaneous: I do not plan to bring any people or pets (other than the ones you are asking me to watch) into your home while I pet sit. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to refuse the sit if after the Meet and Greet I am not comfortable with the situation. While I have experience with aggressive dogs and cats, my overnight sit rate is for social/well-adjusted animals. Animals in need of behavioral modification or that pose a safety risk to myself or others should be boarded at a facility that is geared towards aggressive animals. Similarly, while I have experience caring for animals post surgery or animals experiencing acute medical conditions, my overnight rate is for healthy animals and/or animals with well-controlled chronic conditions. Medically fragile animals should be boarded at a veterinary facility with 24/7 staffing.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a household that always had at least two dogs and two cats, and I loved being involved in their care from a young age. Today, I have a beautiful six-year-old calico of my own named Goose, who is my pride and joy. I will also add that I do have some experience with exotic animals and took care of an axolotl for years. My friends and family turn to me when they need someone to look after their pets. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m attentive, adaptable, and mindful of each pet’s individual needs and routines, and I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel at ease. If you book with me, you can expect lots of love, patience, and thoughtful care. I look forward to becoming your pet’s new buddy! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! My weekends are typically wide open, and on weekdays I’m most often available after 3 PM. My availability can vary a bit from week to week, so please feel free to reach out with any scheduling questions or requests. I’m always happy to communicate, work around your needs when possible, and find a schedule that works for everyone! I offer drop-in visits and house sitting in my clients’ homes, including overnight stays, rather than boarding pets in my own home. I’m very respectful of other people’s spaces and will follow all household rules and instructions, taking care to leave everything just as I found it. I’m adaptable and happy to learn whatever routines your pets are accustomed to, whether that means specific feeding schedules, medication, regular potty breaks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment, with as little disruption to their routine as possible. I also know how reassuring it can be to hear from someone looking after your pets, so I’m always happy to send photo and text updates throughout my time with them! I want you to be able to relax while you’re away, knowing your pets and your home are in good hands. I’m happy to communicate, answer questions, and accommodate your pets’ individual needs so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. :)

About: I’ve taken care of my two golden retrievers and their 31 puppies all until they’ve left the nest! I’ve been exposed to dog training and all different sizes of dogs. I’ve taken care of puppies, teens, adults, and seniors! I’ve also grown up with 10 cats and litter trained, played, and cuddled with all ages! I am unemployed so I have all the time in the world to check up on your loved ones 24/7. I will constantly be taking them out on walks, playing with them, feeding and taking them out for potty time! I have a fenced yard, and a special kennel in the backyard. Our yard is long and great for playing catch. I also have a senior golden retriever who would love to keep your fur baby company!

We used Michelle and Elizabeth (Lisa) for in home care for our puppy while we were traveling and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I was anxious about leaving our puppy for the first time and knew she needed more hands on care and attention since she’s a baby. We received pictures and updates throughout every day we were gone and our puppy had the time of her life! I highly recommend their services!

We came home to a happy pup! We’ve had our dog, Ludo, for over a year and a half and haven't had to leave him for any significant amount of time. So you can imagine our hesitation leaving him for four days while we took a cross-country trip. Thankfully, we found Cody on Rover. He immediately put us at ease with his warm, welcoming demeanor. Ludo took to him instantly, sniffing him like an old friend—and if that isn't a seal of approval, I don't know what is! Cody was punctual and followed Ludo's routine to a T. He sent frequent photo updates that eased our anxiety about being away from him for an extended period. Cody kept our minds at ease and our pup wonderfully entertained. We’ve already decided to book him for all our future trips. If you're nervous about leaving your pet with someone new, you couldn't be in better hands than with Cody.

Casey watched our pups and house sat for us while we were away on vacation for the week. It was our first time leaving the dogs for that long and weren’t sure how they would do because they can be nervous around new people. The dogs warmed up to her right away and Casey was very reassuring when we were feeling anxious about leaving them! Casey was communicative and followed care instructions closely. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again!

Julianna cared for my two schnauzers in my home for a week. I was so impressed by her care and attention to detail. My dogs can be yappy and excitable and Julianna’s kindness and calming presence enabled them to warm to her quickly. She played with my dogs regularly, provided them with love and attention and quickly became their favorite person! Julianna also thoughtfully inquired about my preference on the cadence of communication and provided me regular updates. This was the first time I had hired a housesitter for my pups, so it was very comforting to hear from her regularly. Further, my home is in an area populated by coyotes, and Julianna followed all of my safety instructions to keep my dogs safe from predators. Beyond the excellent care Julianna provided to my dogs, she also treated my home with incredible respect and left it in better condition than she found it. I trust Julianna with my dogs and my home and will book with her again. If you want someone warm, respectful, and professional you should book with her too. Thank you Julianna!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Montrose

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Montrose is $62 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $81 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 13,963 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.

<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 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 , 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 .

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.
