“Brittany watched our dog, Luna, for a full week while we were away. Luna can be insecure and protective and doesn’t always warm up easily to new people, but Brittany went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable. She came over several times before the booking to get to know Luna, which made a huge difference. While we were away, Brittany sent plenty of photos, bonded beautifully with Luna, and even brought in our mail and packages. She is a wonderful find for anyone who wants peace of mind knowing their pet is truly well cared for.”

“Corrine is great, she came by to meet with our pup before we went away. I found her very responsible and consistent, she definitely earned our trust. Thank you Corrine!”

“I am thrilled with the care Denisse provides to my pets. I have one particular pet that is a bit more anxious and Denisse gives her all the extra loving she needs (I have 3 dogs). I couldn’t be happier and at ease when I am away from home that my pets (and home) are so well looked after. I am grateful to find such a trustworthy pet loving person like Denisse.”
“Joy was so thoughtful, paid attention to all the details, and our cats liked her immediately. She took great care of our girls and our home while we were away. She is very responsive and sent lots of pictures which we really appreciated! We would definitely book her again!”

“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: 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. 🐾💛
“Eric did a house / dog sit at my home for about a week. He was an excellent communicator and gave me great updates on how my pup, Lucy, was doing. The house was in great shape when I returned and Lucy was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Eric for any rover needs. Thanks!”

“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!!”

“Kristine was truly great. She dog/house sat for over a week and kept us informed of our pup’s doings everyday (with pictures). Our home was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for more and will be hiring Kristine again for our next trip.”

About: Dogs have been an important part of my life since I was a teenager, beginning with my family's Border Collie, Gracie. Over the years, I've personally cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, including dogs that required extra patience and attention. My professional pet-care experience includes working through Wag in both Florida and New York City. Altogether, I've walked and cared for approximately 60 dogs. That experience has taught me that every dog is different. Some are energetic and adventurous, while others need a calmer, more patient approach. What matters most to me is understanding what makes your dog comfortable and following your instructions carefully. I know how much trust it takes to put your pet—and your home—in someone else's hands. I take that responsibility seriously and want every owner to feel confident that their pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely cares about them. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekends. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, and I'm happy to work with each client's individual schedule and their pet's unique needs. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are extremely important to me. I carefully follow each owner's instructions and routines, keep dogs securely leashed outdoors, stay aware of my surroundings, and make sure doors and entrances are secure. Communication is also very important to me. Through my experience with Wag, I regularly provided owners with a report after each walk so they knew how their dog was doing. I believe pet parents should feel informed and comfortable while their pet is in my care, and I'm always happy to provide updates.
“Sammantha is our go-to care taker for our rat terrier Indy. She is very responsive and treats Indy like one of her own. Indy loves when Sammantha comes to visit. Highly recommended!”

About: I am a patient, flexible, and understanding animal lover with a special connection to shy and nervous pets. I rescued my dog, Boone, and completed all of his training myself, which taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Building relationships with animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve had pets that normally hide from strangers come right up to me for attention and affection. I’m also very active and would be happy to take your pet on walks, adventures, or simply provide lots of love and companionship while you’re away. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I love being active outdoors and would be happy to bring your pup along for walks and adventures! Currently, I am available for late afternoon and evening walks and can provide drop-in visits throughout the week as often as needed. I provide in-home pet care and am happy to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, needs plenty of exercise, loves trips to the dog park, or prefers relaxing at home, I will tailor my care to their needs. I’m also happy to reinforce training routines, provide brushing and basic grooming, and keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. Throughout my visits, I’ll send plenty of photos, videos, and updates so you can feel connected to your pet and know exactly how they’re doing while you’re away. Just let me know what works best for your pet, and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs while always being upfront about my abilities and comfort level.
About: Hello, I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember. our “foster-fail” pup is learning to communicate with Fluent Pet buttons! She’s the friendliest little Morkie who would love some friends while mom’s home! She’s learned hand signals and verbal commands all with positive reinforcement! Feel free to reach out with any questions at all I work from home and already have a pet care routine built in! We go for three walks a day and whatever time in between we spend in the backyard playing fetch or dipping into her mini pool to cool off We currently have a yard, though it’s not fenced is large and set back. we also have set it up with leads for 50 yards. Our home has a crate and pen area “doggie room” id like to call it just next to my desk where I work if crating / alone time is needed. Three walks a day! The honest kitchen is the dog food we use along side fruits, treats, and peanut butter for snacks! Endless toys and enrichment ideas are planned for every day! Rolled towels for treats, boxes for tearing, snuffle mats, lick mats, balls you name it lol! Athena is pretty spoiled and I’d love to spoil your pup too! She gets along very well with friends and has both female, male, toy sized friends, xl golden doodle friends! She LOVE tugging with other dogs it’s the cutest. Going to someone else’s home would be lovely and I’m happy to bring items with me! Just let me know your boundaries and what you’re working on with your pup and I’m happy to help in any way. Older pups are my sweet spot. My late shihtzu diagnosed with cancer was on medication for a bit and needed a lot of extra love and support, happy to provide this as well.
“Brendan was wonderful with Popeye, who has severe anxiety and barked nonstop when he first met him. Brendan was patient and before long, had Popeye napping with him and playing with his tennis ball. Brendan was super responsive, attentive to my concerns, and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I would definitely book with him again.”

“Haley was amazing with our dog Frost! She was responsive and friendly. Haley took excellent care of him while we were away. She provided photos and videos. It helped us to enjoy our time away knowing he was being well cared for!”

About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ll care for your loved one as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your dog feels like part of the family. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can play safely and freely, and as an athletic caretaker I’m happy to take them on long walks or runs to burn off extra energy. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or outdoor adventures, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. Please let me know of any special considerations during the visit. I will ensure and guarantee that your loved one is comfortable and has unlimited pets and snuggles while you are away.

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!

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Montrose. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
