“Tucker took great care of our blue heeler, chickens and fish during a weeklong trip! Our nervous pup warmed right up to him. He communicated well, sent photos, and even let us know about issues at the house so we could take care of them when we got back. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren did an excellent job watching our senior dog! He requires several medications throughout the day and she took wonderful care of his needs! She was great at communicating with us and she sent pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when we arrived home! We would highly recommend her to any pet parent!!”
“Tatyana did a great job with our three dogs who range in size from a 90 lb German shepherd down to a 25 lb mutt. She sent pictures and videos, and with it being the first time she watched our dogs, it made me feel 100x more comfortable. We also had one dog who needed to take medication that she ensured was administered.”
“Maureen did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She was reliable, friendly, clean, and responsive to all our messages. She even sent us photo updates reassuring us that all was going well. We will definitely ask for her help in the future!”
“Excellent, kind, considerate dog sitter. Briana sent us pictures daily of our dog, she walked him extensively and also helped to work on some training with him. Briana knew how to handle our dog who has some reactivity and anxiety. She was respectful of our home, prompt and great with communication and care !”
About: Currently in medical school so looking to make some extra money. I’m always the first one asked to watch pets for friends, family, and classmates. I’ve got my own fur babies but I can never get enough and love to help ensure other peoples pets are well taken care of when they are away. I love to send photos to update owners. I’m currently in school with a reduced schedule for the summer so I’m able to have a flexible schedule right now. Come fall things will be different I’m used to working with pets who have all manner of needs and personalities. I’ve always been good about making a good bond with new pets and respecting their personal space while also keeping them entertained and safe.
“Talia was awesome with Maxy and the unexpected visit of MJ (the neighbor’s cat) She talked to them and took very good care of them. We already have another visit booked for this week.”
“Lauren and Nia were great with our pets and us! This was our first time using pet sitters and they really helped put us at ease through the process. With picture and video updates we knew our dogs and cats were having a good time and being well cared for. Highly recommend using them!”
“She was very sweet always sending pictures of our fur babies. She kept them active and loved so they wouldn't worry about where we were. We recommend her highly and will be our go to in the future!!!”
About: My love for animals has opened up a whole world of wonder, connection, and understanding. I believe every animal has their own little quirks, unique personality, and special way of seeing the world. I love getting to know each one and finding ways to make them feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved—because every furry (and not-so-furry) friend deserves a little extra magic and kindness. Being a groomer and pet sitter allows me to maintain a very flexible schedule centered around animals. My own dogs are a big part of my everyday life, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and quality time. I enjoy including them in my daily activities and adventures, keeping that close bond strong while making sure every pet in my care receives the same thoughtful attention and affection. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I love keeping things as familiar and comfortable as possible by sticking to their routines, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they feel loved while their people are away. My housemate happily helps look after my own dogs while I'm away, so I can give my full attention to my furry guests. I want every pet to feel like they're having a little vacation of their own, filled with comfort, companionship, and lots of love!
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. Growing up my parents always had dogs and cats. My best-friend growing up was my dog Samantha who just turned 15 is a sweet Belgian Mali. I work at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation as a cook for the the Early Education Center. I work from 7am-1pm and then I am home with my dog Lyla and I enjoy going out and taking her out on walks/hikes to Fort Harrison and to the nearby parks in Lawrence. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs can run around in any time they would like too. I live on a quiet street just outside of 465.
“Lizzy was great with our elderly dog. She has multiple daily meds and a special diet, and actually got a little bit sick while we were gone. Lizzy was kind and patient with her. We got daily updates and pictures and felt totally comfortable while we were away. Zeba was happy and relaxed when we got back and had obviously been well cared for. We'll definitely use Lizzy again!”
“Edwin was a great dog sitter for Cosmo. He communicated with us very promptly and often. He sent pictures a few times a day and Cosmo always looked happy and content. Edwin left our house clean and in order. We would happily have him to take care of Cosmo again!”
“Anali was great. She provided us with photos and detailed updates about our 2 dogs and was prompt with replies if I had a question. She is very friendly and energetic. I would definitely seek her services again.”
About: Hello! I have lots of experience caring for both cats and dogs! I’m comfortable administering medications and injections to animals who need them. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs and their needs. I currently have two cats of my own, and I also used to volunteer at the Eastshore Humane Society in Chilton, where I gained additional hands-on experience caring for animals. I love animals and would be happy to help care for your furry family members! :) I am currently a second-year medical student at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH) with an interest in psychiatry. I completed my undergraduate studies at Columbia University in New York City, but I am originally from Appleton, Wisconsin! My schedule can vary depending on my medical school commitments, and I am currently in my preclinical studies, which typically take place Monday through Friday. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’m available for overnight stays or drop-in visits, depending on your pet’s needs and your preferences. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, and other care to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Montrose
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 803 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 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.
