“Emily was AMAZING as a house sitter! She was so great with our kitty Saber, even when he had some accidents. She honestly went above and beyond to keep the rest of the house clean. She was very responsive and detail-oriented. Cannot recommend more!!!”
“Sara was great! We left our Nailah home for a night while we went on a trip and she took good care of her. She sent pictures as well as updates while we were gone and our Nailah really seemed to love her. Would highly recommend 10/10”
“Alex is so sweet and took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away for a week! They sent regular updates and was really communicative, and flexible with our travel plans. The pups had a great time! They also left the house clean and tidy. We would easily use Alex again!”
“One of a kind! Kendall is incredibly reliable and a wonderful communicator. We felt our animals were in good hands the entire week. Last minute our cat got an infection and she didn’t bat an eye to administering his medication daily. Our cats were both relaxed and happy when we got home, plus the dishes were done and the house was tidy!”
“Very friendly and responsive. Emily came by on short notice to meet the dogs, sent lots of pictures, and when I got back, the house was in the same shape as I left it. Will definitely use her again!”
“We are so grateful for Isaiah! We had to leave town last minute, and he worked with us every step of the way. He came by beforehand to meet our dogs and has a lot of experience. One of our dogs is a new adoption, and she really only likes me, but he was able to get her to a place where she was comfortable and not stressed around him. That alone says a lot about how good he is. He was accommodating to whatever we needed during the sit and was respectful of our home. When we got back, our pets were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. We’ve had experiences in the past where you could immediately tell the level of care they received, and this was the opposite. It truly felt like they had been cared for the way we would care for them. Isaiah was that person. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”
“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight years old. Including puppies and rescuing senior dogs. Some of the senior dogs were at the end of their life so I understand the need for compassion and care. I currently have a two year old puppy which I have trained since she was five months old. So I am very versed in the need for daily exercise, consistent training, and daily enrichment. I’ve been dog sitting for at least ten years. Including extended stays at my residence. I’m currently a part time worker, looking for something to fill my extra time. So I have a very flexible schedule and I’m always ready for some extra dog time. My goal is to always put your pets need first. Including any care they need. Including cleaning up after them and any extra medications they may need. Also adding comfort and safety in stressful situations.
“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”
“Carla was amazing. I am a new pet parent who just rescued my pup a little over a month ago. I was SO NERVOUS to leave him for the first time. Carla sent so many pictures of my baby and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when I had to reschedule my trip due to a family member getting covid. Carla was very communicative throughout the process and I will absolutely trust her to watch my baby again.”
“Sierra watched our pups in our home for 10 days over the winter holidays. We have two special needs tripods, one of whom is quite neurotic, so we were nervous about leaving them with a sitter for the first time. Sierra took excellent care of the pups, regularly sent us photos and videos, and administered medications when needed. She gave them lots of cuddles and affection! She was always available via phone and incredibly patient and understanding of my excessive requests for updates. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Sarah was loving and patient with our elderly dog who simply can't handle thunderstorms. Unfortunately, both nights we were gone, storms appeared. She had to adjust sleeping arrangements since our dog could not settle. Sarah was very communicative throughout the entire booking and for that I am extremely appreciative. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Suzzie took care of two dogs, both needed medication, and one is older, and needed some extra care. We were gone for a week. Both dogs were in great shape and happy when we returned. I would definitely use Suzzie again.”
“Mitch was great! He took good care of my dog while I was out of town and was easy to communicate with. He shared updates while I was gone and I would definitely recommend him and use his services again in the future!”
“Kayla takes such great care of our pups and house while we are out of town. I love the photos she sends us of our dogs, and the love and attention she gives them! We feel so confident leaving our dogs in her capable hands, knowing she will be taking such great care of them.”
“Marissa did an absolutely fabulous job of taking care of our two "elderly" greyhounds for a week. She made them comfortable and secure by sticking to their routine and gave them lots of love. She sent pictures and gave us regular updates and was very responsive to any questions that we had so we never had to wonder what was going on. I would highly recommend Marissa!!”
About: I live in downtown Richmond, have an aussiedoodle, work remotely and manage 2 AirBnB properties with over 870 reviews (4.93 rating), speaking to my professionalism, reliability, cleanliness, and communication skills. For the past 10 years I have been pet/house sitting for friends and referrals as my flexible schedule has made space for these opportunities and I am finally making it official by starting a Rover Profile. I love all pets and will treat them with the utmost respect, love, care and consistency, as I will also treat your home. With my AirBnB experience I also know it can be unsettling having strangers enter your space. I will be respectful, maintain your privacy, communicate any concerns that may arise, always double check all doors are locked, and never let your toilet stay running for days. All while doting on your 4 (or 3 or 2)-legged family member. My schedule is flexible and each week can be different so let me know what your wishes are for frequency of check-ins (as well as live in vs. drop by care) and we can come up with a plan together! I offer a wide array of services depending on what you and your pet desire. I can let them outside, take them on walks, give them snuggles and love, play time, and I will always clean up after them.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Montrose is $50

Molly took great care of our three dogs while we were away and kept us updated throughout. Molly was especially patient and understanding with our older Chihuahua. It was clear that our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. We would happily trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her to others.
Ginny took such amazing care of my Tillie-Bean! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which made being away from my sweet pea so much easier. Tillie had such a great time that I’m pretty sure she’ll be requesting Ginny as her sitter again in the future! 🐾💕
Avery was easy to communicate with, she provided pictures updates of our pets (even without needing to be prompted!), and did a great job with our 2 rambunctious cats. She also thoroughly cleaned the house before she left, which was an unexpected and very nice touch. Overall, we are very satisfied with Avery and will definitely be contacting her again for future stays!
Sonjia took great care of River and great care of the house while we were on vacation. She took thorough notes about each day, took him on long walks, and included photo updates. River definitely misses his new friend and we look forward to rebooking in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Montrose on Rover is $45 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,454 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
