“Emily was great! She took care of two cats and four hens—and one of our cats is getting elderly and increasingly prone to unsanctioned pooping?. Emily didn’t miss a beat though and we’d be happy to recommend her. We look forward to having her back in the future! Thanks, Emily!!”
“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”
“Jules is great! My cat can be shy or indifferent with strangers but got along really well with Jules. Beyond that, Jules is a good communicator and dependable. I know my cat is in good hands with her!”
About: I have experience caring for both puppies (even during potty training) and senior pets with special medication and mobility needs. I have pet sat for numerous families with senior pets and have been successful in meeting all needs and providing the best care possible. I would love to do the same for your pet! I am in my 4th year of medical school, so my schedule is more flexible than an average full time job. I often have odd shifts or hours, so I can tend to pets at times where others may not be able to! I am willing to fit caring for your pet into my schedule however I can. I currently have 1 cat who lives in my apartment. I am so excited for the day we move to a home where we can build him a cat patio (or catio as we lovingly refer to it as), but for now he loves sitting in the window and seeing all of the sights outside! I would be willing to travel wherever needed to pet sit or do pet check-ins/potty breaks/walks. I would care for your animal just like it was my own. My goal is to meet all of your pet's needs, from physical to emotional and psychological. I also strive to maintain great relationships with pet owners to make leaving pets less stressful and anxiety-inducing.
“Anais took care of our cat, Leo, for eight days while we were traveling, and she was absolutely incredible. She sent us pictures and videos every single day, keeping us updated on how he was adjusting. Leo started out very shy, hiding under her bed, but Anais was so patient and gentle with him. Thanks to her kindness, we watched his confidence grow — from peeking out, to playing, to letting her stroke his head. By the end of the stay, he was watching TV on the sofa with her and even sleeping on her bed. Anais is truly the perfect sitter for your fur baby. She’s loving, attentive, and clearly does this because she genuinely enjoys animals, not for the money. Her rates are more than reasonable, and her care is priceless. She is our forever sitter.”
“Makenzie provided so many great updates on her bonding and care with our pet rabbit! I appreciated how communicative she was. Would definitely work with her again!”
About: I have been the go to pet sitter since I was a kid. I love animals, and my friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets while they are away more than a few times! I enjoy spending time with animals and helping how I can. I work from home pretty regularly, and while I may have some obligations away from the home, it is typically never more than just a couple hours. Otherwise, I am available and at home. I never want a pet to feel like they are so out of their normal routine where they are unhappy, and am happy to cater to a families routine as long as notes are left!
About: I've had dogs my entire life, and have two dogs and a cat currently. Dog walked for friends and family in the past, and have experience with all ages of dogs I work for myself as a hairstylist and have a pretty flexible day most days, I don't work weekends so have all day availability saturday-monday and some Fridays I will drop in and spend time, play, feed, and clean litter box as needed. My availability is super flexible to make sure your pet gets the best care!
About: Hi there! I’m new to the Richmond area and can’t wait to explore the city, preferably with a furry friend (or two) by my side. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors since 2007. Whether it’s playful pups, snuggly seniors, or quirky cats, I’ve cared for them all and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. • Super flexible schedule • Happy to stay in your home (I’m neat, respectful, and come with glowing references) • Excellent communicator and completely trustworthy with both pets and homes • Big believer in belly rubs, treat breaks, and whatever makes your pet happiest I can’t host pets in my own home but, I’m more than happy to travel or housesit wherever your fur baby feels most at home. I’d love to meet Richmond’s locals and give them all the love and care they deserve. My days are wide open and pet sitting is my favorite way to fill them! I am totally flexible and always happy to see a fur best friend! While I can’t offer boarding in my home (my cat kindly lets me live there), I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I treat every house with respect and every pet with the same love, compassion, and excitement as if they were my own.
“Jynette helped us out last minute this week by walking our dog, Kirby. It didn’t take long for him to warm up to her! She was timely and so friendly during our meet and great. Highly recommend.”
“Emmalee was great! She patiently gave our cat his drugs (which can be a chore) and took the extra time to cuddle with the sweet little guy. Would definitely book again!”
“I reached out to Bianca after our long-time sitter decided to switch careers. Bianca is thoughtful and communicative. She asked great questions during the initial meet and greet and kept me updated on how my boys were doing throughout my trip. I will definitely be reaching out to her for my next trip.”
About: I grew up with dogs as a part of my household and adopted my own dog when I was 20 years old. Since then I have supported friends and family with caring for their pets and would love to support you as well! I currently have availability to care for pets Sunday through Saturday! I can drop in for walks and check ins in the early mornings and late afternoons/evenings during the week. Saturdays and Sundays I have open availability all day! I am flexible with however you would like your pet to be cared for in your environment. I have experience with walks and letting pets out in a fenced yard.
“I booked Allie for several check ins for my 2 cats while I was out of town. She provided excellent service and took great pictures for the updates. Allie is most certainly an animal person and my cats warmed up to her immediately (which doesn’t usually happen). I highly recommend her to anyone and she will most definitely be my go-to for the future!”
“Amy is very reliable and responsive. She sends daily updates and photos which gave me so much peace in mind knowing my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend her and would book her again.”
About: Hello pet Moms and Dads! I have been pet/house sitting and walking dogs in Richmond since 2022 and I honestly love doing it. Not only do I love all creatures great and small but they also offer me a kind of therapy I don’t find anywhere else! I am not the type of person that will just sit around with your pet at home, I LIKE to be outside and I will take your dog on adventures. I want to adventure too! I love exploring new neighborhoods and seeing how other people live! Bonus if you live near the river. If that’s not your pets thing, we can just stay at home and chill. From my experience I’ve found that doing in home overnights work out best for everyone. Pet gets to be in an environment they know and feel safe in. I also love plants so if you need someone to take care of those too I’m down! Big green thumb and love to garden as well. I treat your pet and homes like I would my own and you will always come home to a happy spoiled pet and clean house! When it comes to cats, let’s just say I’m a cat whisperer. Cat empath. The spiciest/scardiest of them all will eventually come out of their hiding places, just watch! I do drop ins and daily walks as well. You won’t regret trusting me with your babies. I’m always looking for new experiences as well if you need someone to look over a farm or have other pets like birds or reptiles! I love them ALL. I currently dog walk and cat/house sit and I’m always looking for extra work. Obsessed with animals! I can’t wait to take care of your babies! I treat your animals like I would my own. All creatures great and small are my friends and I enjoy this kind of work more then anything. Trustworthy and reliable. Your pets will be happy with me! I offer above and beyond pet care 100% of the time. I can also offer references, I have plenty!
About: I’ve been a cat mama since our family cat chose me as his favorite nap spot the day I came home from the hospital! I raised my next bestie from the day she was born until she crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve loved my Fiona for nearly 14 years. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication, accommodating quirky needs, and navigating sassy attitudes! I also grew up with a family dog and helped care for him while living at home and during college breaks. That included feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I bring patience and attention to each pet’s personality and routine, and I’m happy to learn all the little details that help yours feel comfortable and loved. I currently work freelance and have a very flexible schedule so my days are built around what bookings I have in a given week. Let me know what your needs are and we can work something out 🙂 Each visit comes will include a food, water and liter refresh plus treats, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I have plenty of experience with cats of all temperaments and will adjust care according to your instruction.
About: I grew up with three dogs and two cats, so I come from a very pet friendly background! I have cared for dogs personally and professionally too. Experiences in walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and building trust with new animals. I am I remote worker, so I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. I would love to include caring for pets in my weekly routine! I can easily crate your dogs, if needed to keep them safe and comfortable. I’d also love to schedule a meet and greets to build trust with both owner and pet before beginning services.
About: I have many years of personal experience caring for cats, including senior cats and cats with chronic health conditions such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. My experience includes following detailed feeding and care routines, administering oral and topical medications, monitoring appetite and water intake, maintaining clean litter areas, and watching for changes in weight, energy, behavior and bathroom habits. I have also helped one of my own cats recover from a wound that required consistent cleaning, prescribed topical treatment and close monitoring. That experience reinforced the importance of patience, careful attention and following care instructions consistently, even when a cat is less than thrilled about the process! Caring for senior and special-needs cats has taught me to recognize subtle behavioral changes and respect each cat’s individual comfort level. Some cats welcome immediate affection, while others need time and space to build trust. I never force interaction, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully while adapting my approach to the pet’s personality. My schedule is currently flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon and evening visits based on availability. I keep my service area intentionally small so I can arrive reliably, spend the full scheduled time with each pet and avoid overbooking. Before a first booking, I prefer to meet the pet and review feeding instructions, medication routines, emergency contacts, veterinarian information, entry procedures and any household safety concerns. I follow written care instructions carefully, I will never force interaction with a nervous pet. I'll confirm that doors and entry points are secured, and provide photos and detailed updates after each visit.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Montrose is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Montrose
Nick is a fantastic pet sitter! He's super reliable and very good with our cat, who doesn't become fond of people easily. He sends us a picture each time we work with him every day! And he remembers a long time in advance if we book with him early. He's flexible and understanding if we ask for something a little particular like how our cat likes to play. 100% recommend him! What a deal. 🐈
I reached out to Bianca after our long-time sitter decided to switch careers. Bianca is thoughtful and communicative. She asked great questions during the initial meet and greet and kept me updated on how my boys were doing throughout my trip. I will definitely be reaching out to her for my next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Montrose is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
