“Brittany was absolutely amazing with our boy Codi! She kept in contact, sent pictures everyday, and made us very comfortable knowing he was being well cared for while we were gone! I can’t say enough good things about her!”
“This was our first big trip away from our golden retriever Pungo and Denisse did an awesome job staying at our house and taking care of him while we were away! She was responsive, sent lots of pictures and took him on fun adventures to the beach/park. He had lots of love and attention, which was important to us! Thanks again Denisse for being so sweet, kind and patient with our big boy! She even stayed late on the last day as our flight was delayed! We appreciate you and thank you for helping out!!”
“Collin and Hayden were great! They met us a few days before and our dog Leti loved them. I showed them around the home and our usual dog walk route, and they arrived promptly at the appointed time. I received photos of Leti being all happy throughout the day, and when I came home Leti loved them so much, she jumped up to give them full face licks of joy! I would happily book them again and recommend them to anyone else. As the parents of two dogs themselves they really know how to take care of dogs and make them feel all the love.”
“This was our first time with Courtney and it was fantastic! Her communication was great, the dogs were well cared for and happy when we got home and our house was free of dog hair- she cleaned up and did the sheets! So thoughtful! I highly recommend Courtney!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and chinchillas. My fur babies are everything to me - I even have them forever tatted on me! My current English bulldog, Stella, is half-blind and all crazy. She is a protector and lover of my two girls, who have known and grown up with animals their whole lives. While a sweetheart, she remains separate from my boarded friends. I have experience caring for senior animals, shy and timid babies with, and large breed guardian dogs. I also enjoy volunteering at two of our local animal shelters and am raising a future veterinarian. I believe animals are the purest form of love and require nothing less in return. Whether my own or yours, you can trust that I'll care for them all the same ♥️ I'm available most days of the week and weekends. Pet care and motherhood are my full-time roles, and my daughter may often accompany me on my walks. My home has large yard and a separate family area where my boarded friends can have their own quiet, private space to hang out with me: hang on the couch, watch TV, or play outside. I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.
About: I have 2 cats of my own, Bamba and Gleeda, for 10 years. I have done cat sitting (litterbox done of course) and dog walking (various ages and breeds) for a few years now. I have experience handling multiple dogs at a time, various pets in a household, and no issue with stronger breeds or stubborn cats. Being a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available many times of the day especially the afternoon or mid-day. I always follow the client's instructions explicitly and care for their pets and property as my own. I understand that everyone has a different routine, requests, and values and I honor them all respectfully.
“Nicole provided exceptional care for our dog during our week out of town. She was our first Rover hire, and we have no complaints, just appreciation! Our dog Lucy has a lot of anxiety about new experiences and people, but she loved Nicole! We definitely will book Nicole again in the future.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl and I love animals! I have experience walking dogs, pet sitting, babysitting, and housesitting. I love all animals no matter age or size. I'm currently working part-time so I am available most days including weekends! I am not available on Fridays. I am happy to help any other day. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can keep your pet on a leash as well as avoid pulling on a walk. If your pet likes parks I would gladly take them!
“Scott and Maddy did an excellent job taking care of Harvey while we were away for the weekend! We were so thankful for the text message updates and pictures. They took him on walks, played with him, and gave him his treats! So thankful to be at ease knowing he was well taken care of! Highly recommend!!”
“Gabrielle was a GREAT house sitter! The animals were happy when I got home, she did everything and then some that I asked, and she left no footprint behind. I couldn’t be happier and I hope she will come house sit our pets again soon! Thank you so so much, I really appreciate you Gabrielle!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs snd cats in my home as a side passion. I love animals and will care for your pet as if it were my own with safety, care, and match their preferences. Petting sitting is a part time passion I do to fill my love for animals. I work from home and am able to board your pet on the weekends or during the week with advance notice. I love to cuddle, pet, play and walk them. I have a pet free home with a large fenced in yard. I also love hiking and walking so I do walks with pets to provide attention and stimulation.
“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for over 10 years. I was a former dog walker/pet sitter before starting a non for profit rescue in 2018. I have experience with all breeds and sizes and I am a certificated obedience trainer. In my free time I enjoy being outside and walking my own dog Raylene. I work a few hours in the morning with a long afternoon break. That gives me the ability to come back mid-day for an afternoon walk/play session with your dog(s) or cat(s) during the day. Once I finish work I am home during the evenings for feedings and overnight stays. At this time I'm able to do overnight petsitting in your home. I only watch one family's animals at a time whether it's a drop in visit or overnight petsitting. There can be a presence in your home - getting your mail and packages, watering plants, taking out garbage and recycling and making sure the house is exactly as you left it.
About: Animals are a central part of my life and always have been. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats and more, and I truly treat every animal like my own. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your dog with someone else, so I focus on providing attentive, loving care you can fully trust. P.S. I have a soft spot for snuggly pups and love long walks. I am currently an online college student with a very light course-load! So I have lots of flexibly and time to care for your pup! I have a fully fenced( with the exception of the driveway entrance- which can be fenced off while your pup plays outside) two acre property with 8ft deer fencing. I have two 60ish pound dogs who are very friendly and low key. Our dogs free roam the house yours can as well or can be in a crate if your prefer. We are pretty active and love to go on long sniffari walks!
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic!!! Could not recommend her more highly. She kept us fully up to date throughout our time away, asked appropriate questions to verify when there was a discrepancy (my fault) between the instructions and what was there. Samantha took care of our Maggie like she was her own! Please consider Sam for your next extended time away!”
About: Hi! I’m Jess, and if my friends had to describe me, they’d probably say I’m the human version of a golden retriever friendly, energetic, loyal, and always excited to make new friends (especially the furry kind!). While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve spent years helping care for dogs belonging to family, friends, and many of my personal training clients. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a personal trainer and health coach, I’m very active, dependable, and attentive to details. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and care while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I would be honored to be that person for your furry family member. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine right now. I currently have a flexible schedule and am looking to stay active and productive throughout the summer while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love animals and see pet sitting and dog walking as an opportunity to help both pets and their owners. I know many people have vacations, family events, long workdays, and summer plans, and it can be stressful worrying about leaving a beloved pet behind. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so pet parents can enjoy their time away with peace of mind, knowing their furry family member is getting plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection. As someone who is active, responsible, and caring, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping families this summer while building meaningful connections with both pets and their owners. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. As a personal trainer and health coach, I lead an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks and playtime. I also understand how important pets are to their families, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾💛

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montrose
Corinne has been staying overnight to dog sit our two dogs, Maggie and Penny, for nearly two years. We trust her completely and know that Maggie and Penny will be well taken care of and spoiled rotten while we are away. Corrine sends daily updates and pictures each day letting us know how the dogs are doing. When you meet Corrine you will see instantly her nurturing, caring nature. We did and so did Maggie and Penny!
Cece housesat and sent updates with pics everyday, always responsive with communication, and I could see my dogs and cat were very comfortable with her in our house-one of our dogs is shy of strangers, yet she won his trust. She is very responsible and kind. It was nice knowing my senior cat was in good hands with his daily medication and dietary needs. And also nice that Cece could oversee the care of our small exotic reptile pets as well. I will definitely book Cece as my first choice for our next vacation and recommend her.
We have loved Griffin! He has taken our dog for one time walks and been our house sitter. Our dog is a little reactive and he does a great job protecting her and has managed any difficult interactions really well! He’s very communicative and our dog loves him!
Brant is incredible! From the first meeting, he clearly took the care of our pets seriously. He took time to ask many questions about what would make Mabel comfortable and how he could best care for her. This was our first time hiring a pet sitter through an app, and we chose Brant based on his reviews. And we are SO glad we did! We will be hiring Brant again for our menagerie (1 dog and many cats). His kindness, attention to every need of the pets, and level of both care and communication have been amazing. We now know we can travel with peace of mind. Highly highly recommended!
Hayden housesat for my wife and I and was great with all of the animals. She kept them on their usual routine, and seemed to really enjoy spending time with them. My beagle was crying when she left. Additionally, she's punctual, communicates well, and is very polite and responsible. Your pets are in good hands with Hayden.
Priscilla has dog sat for our high energy bernedoodle 2x and she was amazing! We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in her care. The daily photos and check ins were great. We knew our dog was having the best days with her :) our dog lovesssss when Priscilla comes!

The average cost of House Sitting in Montrose is $85 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $51 and $133 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 .
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.
