Cordelia was absolutely amazing with Gracie! She was incredibly attentive, followed all of our instructions to a tee, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She consistently checked in and sent photos, which we really appreciated—it was such a comfort to see Gracie happy and relaxed. It was clear she was well cared for and truly loved. We’d gladly book with Cordelia again—highly recommend!

Louise was very responsive and easy to work with. She picked up my request very quickly and arranged for a meet and greet with my dogs. They were instantly in love with her! She was very thorough with information about feeding/bathroom/medicine times and even offered to clip their nails if needed. She provided updates as to when she was there and a left a message at my home in regards to the times they were fed and given medicine. I would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her in the future.

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers, especially dogs, and from an early age I learned how to care for them with attention, patience, and affection. Being around animals has always been a natural and important part of my life. I am someone homeowners can trust to respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and communicate clearly when needed. I will treat your home and your pet (or feathered friend!) with the same attention, respect, and affection I would give my own. I currently work from home part time as an online teacher and have a pretty flexible schedule so that allows me to be very present, keep pets company, take them for walks and make sure they get all the TLC they need. Caring for animals and creating a peaceful, well-kept home genuinely fulfills me. Pets make any place feel like home, and spending time with them — whether walking, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company — is something that brings me a lot of joy. My lifestyle is naturally calm and home-oriented, so I truly enjoy quiet routines and spending time at home. As a self-employed English teacher working remotely, I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m a responsible, trustworthy, and clean person who takes looking after someone else’s home seriously. I’m organized, respectful and a non-smoker. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and that you return to a happy and welcoming home. Clear communication is very important to me, and I’m happy to send updates and photos as often as you prefer, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs over the past four years. Not only have I dog sat but I have also fostered dogs I am currently working full time but I am capable of checking in on lunch (if dog sitting) and can go straight to them after work I unfortunately don’t have a fenced yard, so we will be going on lots of walks. I don’t have any other animals in my home.

About: Hello. I have been working professionally with animals for the last 5 years. I spent three years working at a pet store working/caring for pets in the store that included dogs, cats, and exotics. And now for almost 3 years I have been working as a veterinary assistant/technician at an emergency and speciality hospital. That means I have experience to help with your pup/cat with special needs and helping administering medications! I grew up with animals all my life. I currently have a dog (Onyx) that I have personally trained myself and a cat (Masha) that I have also trained to do a trick or two for a treat. I have a huge love for animals and just like I do for my patients I work with, I will treat your baby with love and care as if it were my own. I currently work full-time at the veterinary hospital so I’m only available Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. That includes mornings, afternoons, and most nights. Unfortunately I cannot watch/bring your pets to my home. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether your companion is energetic, shy, elderly, or has medical needs, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Experienced with senior pets, diabetic pets, seizure patients, post-operative care, medication administration, mobility assistance, and other special-needs animals.

About: I am a college student with two dogs of my own at home. I am the biggest animal lover and treat all pets as if they were my own! I do not remember a time in my life where I haven't been involved in some way with animals. Whether that has been working on a farm, volunteering at a small animal clinic, showing my pet rabbit, or competing in horse competitions, all pets of many different shapes and sizes have been at the forefront of my life! I am highly active and will happily take your dog on walks, runs, hikes, and beach days if you'd like me too. I am also totally down to play inside and keep your pup company at your home! I am accustomed to giving dogs medication as I have a senior dog myself. I will be sure to send lots of pictures and videos while your away because I know how hard it is to leave our best friends! I can be highly flexible with my schedule. I work part time and therefore can typically make most situations work, just reach out and let me know what works best for you! They will be treated like a king/queen! I am used to an excited dog on a leash. I can be patient and accommodating for slower pups as well. I will follow directions exactly and have no issue with picky and particular dogs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As an active person who enjoys walking and being outdoors, I can provide energetic walks for dogs who need exercise while also giving gentle attention to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you know they’re in great hands. I’m a stay-at-home mom of two school-aged children and am looking for flexible work that allows me to care for pets during school hours. My schedule is open on weekdays while my children are in school, and for certain walks or drop-in visits, my kids may accompany me when appropriate. I’m reliable, active, and love spending time outdoors with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I currently have two friendly dogs of my own and treat every pet as if they were part of my family. I follow owners' instructions carefully, prioritize safety on walks and during visits, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

We’ve used Heather now two times for an in home stay as well as several check ins and couldn’t be happier. The house is always in great shape upon return and the dogs are always happy to see her and stress free for our arrival home. Heather is great about keeping in contact and sends pictures daily. Instructions have always been followed and if anything little needs attention Heather is always willing to help. It brings me peace of mind knowing Heather is in our life whenever we need to travel.

About: ⚠If you're new to Rover use my Promo code "XAVIEM67281" to get a 💲20 discount off the first service you use with me. ⚠ I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. Not a day goes by that I'm not taking care of the family pets or someone else's. I have walked, checked on, and baby sat dogs of all different shapes and sizes. I use to take care of my neighbors dogs, when she wasn't available. Took dogs to the vet when they had no one else to do it. And I have been a dog walker for about 5 years now. I have walked small dogs such as miniature poodles to bigger dogs such as pitbulls. Your furry friend will be in good hands. I'm currently working part time on Mondays through Fridays, but I have a flexible schedule. I'll feed and take the dog out in the mornings, and after work. During the weekend they'll have my fully undevivded attention through out the whole day I have a fenced in yard with several friendly dogs who will happily play with visitors. I also have some cats but they keep to themselves, lounging around in a separate room from the dogs. Your pets will mostly be under my watchful eye, for I will be home, most of the day watching them.

We knew we would have to leave our dog with someone for 2 weeks when my daughter got married. It was a lot since she is 16 years old anxious and attached to my husband . Add to the job 2 cats that don’t always get along. Christina was so patient and got all our animals through the week. She sent pictures daily even one of our dog licking her face hours after we left She took good care of the house. It all worked out so well Her love of animals and how she anticipates their needs is a real gift

FAQs for House Sitting - Montrose

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Montrose on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,373 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
