“Jen was excellent!! The dogs loved her. She was great and I had peace of mind while I was out of town. She has a love and compassion for pets. She understood they are my babies and she did a wonderful job caring for them. She was more then willing to help and went above and beyond. I liked her character and trusted her to come in and out of our home. She has a beautiful spirit, fun and caring.💕 If you're looking for someone to care for your pet Jen is your girl!! 😇”

About: Hi there, I'm Rachel! My partner, Stefan, and I are traveling full time across the US in our Mercedes Sprinter and we are looking for way to keep our adventure going while simultaneously seeking out new fur-friends along the way! Since we are so mobile, we are extremely flexible in our schedule and can give your pup (or cat) family members our undivided attention. We also have a 10 month old rescue pup named Knoppers if you're looking for socialization, too! I've had at least one dog or cat in my household all my life! I was a pet care specialist at Petsmart for 4 years and a dog bather for 1. This means I have a wide range of experience with all sorts of animals. Experience in care of exotic pets that include (not limited to): chinchillas, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, ball pythons, parakeets, and conures! At the end of the day, our goal is to give the best care to all the animals we are entrusted to look after. Our plan is to travel the whole US while looking for pit stops to help people along the way! Our schedule is wide open. We are open to what works best for you and your loved ones. Our number one goal is to care for your pets just as you would! Ideally, if you're looking for a multi-day or overnight pet sitter, we could park our van in the driveway so we'd be just a few steps away from your fur babies. If preferred, I could stay in the home with the pets - it's all about communication! We have our 10 month old puppy who is always looking for new friends. He would be more than happy to keep your pets entertained. If your dog(s) would prefer not to have company, we are more than happy to oblige. As previously stated, I worked at Petsmart for 5 years and have even more experience with meeting new animals and noticing the signs of stress or what to do should there be a scuffle between two dogs.

About: I work at Genesee County Animal Care in Flint, MI and have been there for 3 years and counting! I specialize in dogs with behavioral needs, but love ALL of them! I am able to do drop in visits or walks for dogs (and cats if you were really into it), we may just need to play around with times due to my job. I also offer training assistance separately if interested! I have 4 dogs of my own, and have only stopped gathering more because of Clio’s legal limit (; I work full time during the week at animal control in Genesee County - Sundays and Mondays are my sweet spot days where I’m able to prioritize additional pet care services like dog walking and drop ins! When visiting someone’s home, I really try not to touch quite literally anything besides the things needed for the animal (treats, leash, collar, bath stuff, toys etc). Leave it cleaner than you left it as they say.

About: I have loved animals of all kinds my entire life and have been caring for pets at home for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a mom who was a former veterinarian, caring for animals runs in my family. I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, love, and proper care. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have open scheduling times besides holidays and personal appointments. I’m available for house sitting when my schedule allows and will discuss my availability with each client before accepting a booking. I’m happy to provide overnight care and spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. For house sitting, I care for pets in their own home where they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any household or safety guidelines. I’ll treat your home and pets with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“We had a family emergency and needed someone to watch our two large, super energetic dogs on short notice. Patricia was available right away to help and did an amazing job. The dogs loved her and we had no worries while we were away handling our family emergency. We are still so grateful for her help and professionalism!”

About: In the past I was able to dog sit for this lady whenever she would go on vacation. I loved coming home to the dog and would take care of him like he was mine! I am available to walk your dog(s) after 3pm weekdays and anytime on weekends! I can also dog sit whenever! Preferably at the owners house! If I’m sitting at your house I’m sure to take the dog out as soon as I come home from work and even come home to them on my break to let them out.

About: I thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian. I love to sit and enjoy my time with Dogs. Animals my passion and I love and enjoy all of them! I’d love to use my strengths and education with 15 years of hands on animal handling skill and training to cater to the needs of your pets to comfort your companion while you're away, I can assure you the pet owner they’re living their best life in my care. I send tons of pictures and show love care and compassion. I have been an animal handler and curated for 15 years, comforting and catering to your companions. I would love to be that trusted person you book when it comes to your pets needs and overall bliss! I have open availability. Taking new clients! I handle dogs and cats every single day! I have a wonderful dog named Charlie (really my mom’s dog) and have been handling a multitude of breeds for 15 years. Learning all different kinds of personalities. I have come accustomed to understanding animals in a way that serves me and can serve you comfort and overall peace and joy knowing your companion is in the best care possible. I love being an animal handler and specializing in dogs specifically. I have curated my skills and know how to really be there for your pet in a way that matters. Every day and every action will add up in your overall animals life quality and I know how to do things for your pet that will matter later down the line, when you don’t have time to. I do! Communication is huge for me and your pet! Your pets schedule and goals are my mission and I don’t miss out on sending tons of update pics and what we have planned for the day! I care for dogs in my clients home. I do not host in my home. But the ultimate focus when I’m at my clients home is paying attention to your dogs behavior. Separation anxiety is a huge trigger for dogs not eating and becoming unhealthy and creating unhealthy habits and I do everything in my power to distract the worry and bring play and fun and most importantly comfort. Your dog will learn how to communicate with me very quickly and once I can assess their needs, wants and desires then they tend to feel heard and more at peace with their owner being away. Creating or sticking to a schedule and incorporating healthy dog play and walks is important. A healthy dog is an happy dog! When I come back they are joyful! I love that feeling of creating a good relationship with your pet, And with YOU!

About: We will treat your dog(s) as our own. My friends tell me I have a special way of patting dogs and they (the dogs) seem to love it. They will get good belly rubs, behind-the-ear scratches and whatever love they need from both my husband and me. Our large fenced yard will entice your dog(s) to run and play as well as relax. We are comfortable looking after more than one dog at a time as we have a dog of our own. Just an FYI, Fiona, our 14.5 year old passed away in December 2023. We adopted Meeka in February 2024 who loves playing with other dogs and people. We also just adopted Simba in mid-April 2024. He is slowly getting socialized and loves playing with Meeka. They definitely keep each other company! Your dogs will also feel more comfortable in our house knowing that they are welcome and have familiar dog faces and smells here. I am also comfortable taking care of your dog(s) in your house to ensure your fur-children continue to stay in the comforts of their own homes. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) soon. My husband and I do this together. We both work full-time at the office but I work 2 days from home. During the in-office days, we will let the dogs out when we wake up and after one of us get back home. The other two days and on weekends, they get let out every 2-3 hours or as and when they need to go. My husband helps me when he’s home and we go for daily walks in the evenings and weekends. We love patting and playing with them as that’s our routine with our own dogs so rest assured, we’ll make sure your dog gets loved too. Meet and greets are always preferred because we want to make sure you’re comfortable with our family and vice versa. If your dog(s) will be in our home, my husband will be helping out. Therefore, we want to make sure our pups play well with each other too. If you need a house sitter while you’re gone because it’s easier and better for your pets to be in the comforts of their own home, it’ll either be my husband or I. In this case, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with both of us. Boarding/Daycare: We have a fenced backyard and require all boarders to be crate-trained and come with a crate, especially for feeding time and if things get wild. For older dogs like when we had Fiona, she struggled to go up and down the deck stairs so I let her out in the front yard which isn’t fenced. However, I went with her and she was great at not taking off with me and my husband. Meeka and Simba are always leashed when they get let out in the front. If you’re worried about your dog being in the front yard, we will always use a leash. Otherwise, the backyard is more than sufficient if they’re okay with stairs. Home Sitting: We will do our best to stick with your routine with your dog. I do work full-time, 2 days from home and my husband goes to the office all 5 days. If your dog loves walks/car rides, we'd be happy to have them meet ours and they can walk together. If there are other animals in your home that's need to be card for, please let us know. I am an animal lover and will learn quickly to care for animals I’ve not taken care of before.

About: To be completely honest, our home operates on a strict policy of maximum fun and zero boredom. My Belgian Shepherd is are high-energy, Olympic-level players, meaning your fur baby will always have a partner for zoomies, tug-of-war, or aggressive backyard scouting. For the Energetic Pups We run, jump, and play until they forget what a couch even looks like. & If your dog prefers to just watch the chaos from a comfortable distance, they will be showered with endless belly rubs, ear scratches, and VIP treatment ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Whether they are here for daycare or an overnight boarding sleepover, I promise to treat your dog like absolute royalty (and send you plenty of goofy photo updates to prove it). Book a stay and let the fun begin! ❤️ I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays. Summer times the balcony door stays open so theyre free to come in and out. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog with frequent potty breaks per your request, just inform me before hand.

About: I grew up in a dog oriented family and dog sit regularly. I love all dogs and enjoy spending my time with them. Going for walks, playing fetch or just snuggling. I currently work full time but I do work from home and have my evenings and weekends free. I can also work in other locations if needed. My own pets are well taken care of and loved. I own a large dog you thinks he’s a lap dog. I pay attention to the attitude and behaviors for anything wrong.

Most bookings cost between $19 and $47 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 473 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 .

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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
