“Katy did a great job with my kitties. She stayed in touch with me throughout the stay. She was available on short notice when I needed to leave. I would gladly recommend Katy, and most definitely use her again to care for my 4 legged family. Thank you Katy!”
“Karissa was fanstastic. We were called away unexpedily and she was available for whatever we needed. We ended up having to extend our stay and again, she just took care of everything for as long as we needed. Really exceptional.She is great with our fur family. They are always glad to see us, but not stressed out or anxious when we get home. I would highly recommend Karissa for your pet sitting needs. It's obvious that she cares, so you don't need to worry when you are away.”
“Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: I only take one or two clients at a time which gives me the ability to take them hiking and on walks in public spaces. Your dogs are a part of our family and home. I provide air tags for their time here so you can track them. Photos and videos provided daily. I am recently retired and available to give your dog(s) a lot of love and attention. I walk and hike daily and can exercise your pet to your liking. I have a 6 ft fence for the back yard. I also have an indoor/outdoor dog run and crates depending on your needs. I have two senior “host” dogs of our own. I put AirTags on guest dogs for additional security. I also share the AirTags with clients so they can enjoy tracking their dogs.
About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, caring for a wide variety of pets from a young age. From dogs and cats to small animals and even reptiles and birds, I have hands-on experience with all kinds of furry (and not-so-furry) friends. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, needs, and boundaries. I’m committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat about how I can help care for your beloved companions! I work mostly part-time with a flexible but varying schedule, so I require at least a two-week notice for pet-sitting jobs. With that notice, I can accommodate most hours needed. On most weekdays, I’m available for early morning visits before 8 AM and late-night visits after 10 PM. Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays are my most flexible days, with availability throughout the entire day. Feel free to reach out to discuss scheduling! I have many animals of my own, I feel it’s very important to keep your pets on a routine, it keeps them calm and relaxed throughout the day because they know what’s coming next.
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: We're a a couple in our 40s, both working professionals in Montrose. We have six year old daughter and a 10 year old chocolate lab mix who are both friendly, energetic, curious and cuddly. We are looking to help out others in the area who need dog care, since we know how difficult it can be to find good reliable people to watch our pup. We live just south of town with four acres and direct access to public land, perfect for dogs to run around and play in. We also are very active and love taking our pup out for hikes, walks, cross country skiing, fetch, swims, and playtime, and would be happy to bring yours along as well. We hope to meet you and your pup soon! While we both work full-time, we do have flexibility for telework, and breaks throughout the day to take your dog out. We are home full time evenings and weekends. We have a friendly dog who is very social to run and play with your dog. We are comfortable walking dogs on or off leash depending on what your dog is comfortable with.
“Summer is really wonderful with our two kitties. We appreciate her consistency in care and the affection she shows our pets, which is so evident in the photos and videos she shares with us.”

I also know homeopathic remedies! I love dogs and providing them with the most excellent care! Whatever your special pup needs wheather it is a good long hike or a trip to the dog park or maybe a lazy day on the couch! I have 3 borzoi and 1 papillon at home, so I am definitely comfortable in the juggle of a huge pack and can walk more than one dog at a time. I am also equipped to handle anything from puppies to senior dogs! Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur baby! I am available after 4pm M-F and anytime on the weekends! I am comfortable with all temperaments of dogs and can provide whatever services needed. I have a fenced yard but do not intend on having dogs in my home. I would be doing walks and dog sitting in your home.
“First of all, Sierra was available on Thanksgiving on about a week's notice. I was so grateful. Second, my dog Hobbes was extremely anxious when Sierra arrived. But she didn't bail out of the visit! She called me, described the situation, & we worked out a way for Sierra to feel safe & also get the visit accomplished. I know Hobbes is a handful when he gets worked up - I appreciate that Sierra hung in there & got my doggos the potty break they needed, as well as the dog chow they wanted.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montrose
She was able to accommodate a last minute visit when our flight plans were delayed unexpectedly. We got a cute video of our doggie playing and happy even in our absence. It gave me such peace of mind in a stressful situation, at least this was handled and going well!
Katy and Zoey took great care of Fred while we were away! This was our first time leaving him home while we traveled, so we were a little nervous about how he would do. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were checking in on him and making sure he was happy and had everything he needed. They were reliable, easy to communicate with, and really sweet with Fred. We came home to a happy kitty who had clearly received plenty of care and attention. We appreciate Katy and Zoey and will definitely reach out to them again the next time we need someone to look after Fred!
Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.
Terry was an outstanding caregiver to our sweet kitty. Communication was excellent - very quick to reply and friendly. She spent time getting to know our kitty and we felt very comfortable with her in our home. She took great care of our fur baby and we will definitely use her again. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Montrose is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 101 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Montrose. 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
