“Sandi watched our two energetic, medium-sized dogs for a full week, visiting them 2x/day to ensure they had their meals, walks, brushies, and love. She provided a picture and a short communication every day, which was a comfort and added bonus. When we came back from our trip, we were amazed at how happy both the dogs were. Their coats were glowing, and they were so well-taken care of! We are so grateful for Sandi, and will certainly be using her services again. Worth every penny!”
“Mikaela watched our two Mini dachshunds for the first time over Thanksgiving weekend. Our puppies were well taken care of, as well as our home! Thank you Mikaela! We will be reaching out to you again when we plan our next trip.”
“Hayley was super-attentive and it was always very obvious that she loves taking care of the kitties and chickens. I would definitely recommend her and would ask her for her services again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of 4 dogs and 1 cat for their natural lives. Friends, relatives and neighbors ask me often to pet sit, as they know I am very loving and reliable. I'm retired and so I have the ability. to take care of dogs at anytime, and I love having animals around me. Dogs are amazing companions! I have a fenced yard, and love walking and playing with dogs. I will follow any rules the clients suggest. I can give medications as needed, and train dogs also.
About: Hello! Are you going out of town or simply needing a night out? I'm your girl! I've been a dog owner my whole life.

I have plenty of time to accommodate your pets care and routine. If needed, I'm able to spend some extra time with your pet just to make sure they're all settled before leaving. Safety is very important to me, I will request that all thats needed to go on walks be left out in an area thats easy to find. I can crate any pet is needed. I always take pictures when I first see the pet and when I leave them.. if any concerns pop up, I will make sure to communicate them to you.
“Shaun is great!! We did two greets prior so our great dane would be ok since he tends to be a bit much at the first meeting of new people. After that, all 6 of our dogs were taken care of just the way we would have cared for them. Shaun truly puts love into each pet and you can tell. Another note to add, our house was cleaner than when we left which was a major shock to us! Shaun takes pride in everything he does. We would recommend him to anyone!”

I as well have house sit and dog sit many times for family or family friends.

“Dario is a perfect match for our Husky, Boris. I needed to travel overnight for work and had not left Boris overnight unattended before. I was having a difficult time to find someone that wanted to go on long walks. Dario walked Boris 7 miles the first day and 4 miles the morning before I returned, WOW! He sent pictures, watered plants and spent the night on the daybed cuddling with our dog. I am so glad we met him and will use him next time we travel. Thank you!”
About: I have owned dogs of my own and sat for multiple friends and family. I also volunteer with the Minneapolis pound and have a lot of experience with all breeds and sizes. I absolutely adore dogs and promise to take exceptional care of your pup! I work 3 days a week leaving me with extra time to dog walk and watch your fur baby. I am able to travel for pick ups and drop offs. I love taking walks so your pet can get some energy out. I also pay close attention to directions on how you like your pet cared for.
About: I have had pets my entire life and not just normal ones that come to mind. I raised sheep, pigs, and cattle for 4-H and have owned dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was little. I’ve taken care of animals and they have been apart of my entire life. I’m currently working part time and so is my boyfriend. We have most of the week that we are available to watch or walk your babies. Only days not available are Wednesdays and Thursdays. We have a dog park, river walk, and multiple parks within walking distance next to our apartment. I take my dog for walks about every 3 hours usually consisting of walking more than 15 minutes to up to an hour. I am a very outdoors person and would rather be outdoors than inside so your dog will be coming with me.
“We had a last minute change in our pet sitting situation just a few days before we went out of country. Maritza not only responded quickly, but collaborated to make adjustments to fit our needs, timeline, and budget. She was stellar at caring for our animals while we were gone, cared for our home and hopefully was also able to relax and enjoy our home. She helped us navigate a health issue with our cat that came up and promptly took our cat to the local vet and came back to continue her care. Maritza was communicative, collaborative, kind, respectful, followed our instructions spectacularly and was open to feedback that made everyone feel comfortable and supported. So happy we found her last minute and hope to keep using her as often as both our needs and schedules permit. She did fall in love with our little dog, so who knows how many little doggy friends she might have now - this really speaks to her love of animals for sure! So grateful for all she did for our large crew of animals!”
About: If there’s one thing I have learned from owning cats and a dog all of my life, it is that animals are insistent, energetic, and very receptive to our care. I have a lot of experience in caring for my Jack Russell Terrier while my mom was working or away. I also cared for my cats, Princess, Noodles, & Gug Gus, who have all been through various rounds medical treatment. I am very attention-oriented and strive to ensure my pets are comfortable and healthy! I'm currently a graduate student and working full time in Montrose. I'm available before 7:30a and after 4-5p. I'm available most weekends, apart from various weekend trips during the summer. I provide a safe experience for the pets that I’m sitting by always using a gentle approach when taking care of their needs to make them feel as safe as possible.

Mikaela was INCREDIBLE. We were in town on vacation & wanted to do some activities that our dogs couldn't join. She really enhanced our vacation by allowing us to explore without having to worry about our dogs. The dogs were very relaxed & happy when we got home. Mikaela is also super friendly and gave us great recommendations for things to do in the area. Could not recommend her enough!
Dario was very responsive from our initial contact. Judging from the photos Dario sent while we were gone (much appreciated!), our very independent cat warmed up to Dario in record time! Dario communicated with us regularly, and we knew Rocket and our home were in very good hands. I hope Dario is available when we travel in the future. I recommend him without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Montrose on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 82 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
