Pet Sitting in Montrose

About: As a farm kid, animals (of every variety) have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! Now I get to share that joy with my family, our playful pup, our cat, & even our hedgehog! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from energetic puppies to calm seniors & I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe & feeling the love. And I love sending photo updates so you never miss a moment of their fun! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently work from home & have lots of flexibility. I love having extra paws around to keep me company during the day & taking breaks for walks or cuddle sessions fits naturally into my schedule. Between working from home & chauffeuring my daughter to her various extracurricular activities, I can give your pets plenty of attention & exercise throughout the week! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention & play. Dogs who are social & cat-friendly are welcome to play with my own friendly dog & we have 6 acres of open space for well-trained pups to explore off-leash (always under supervision). The dogs who aren’t quite ready for off-leash will simply get to explore while leashed. Indoors, pets have cozy spots to relax & are never left alone for long. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine of feeding, walks, playtime, & any other specific instructions they need. I make sure pets feel comfortable & cared for while you’re away. I love sending regular photo updates so you always know how they’re doing, too!

“Sara is a great communicator, she sent pictures and updates on my puppies. She is great with animals and cares about them and has great attention to detail. My fur babies we’re very well cared for and she went above and beyond to make sure they were happy. I would highly recommend recommended Sara.”

“Ashley was great! Super responsive and respectful of our space. I can tell our cat Todd was kept very happy and healthy during our time away.”

“Ann was a wonderful sitter for my cat! I needed someone on very short notice and I was so relieved when Ann responded to my request right away. I loved the daily updates and I appreciated that she respected the boundaries of my shy kitty. I will absolutely use her services again!”

“Seán and Leticia are always so quick to respond when I put in an inquiry and I’ve never had an issue with communication. They always send more photos than expected and it is so nice to be able to leave my pup at home without fear for her care and wellbeing. I haven’t used anyone else since meeting them.”

About: I’ve worked at Feeder’s Supply, where I cared for a variety of animals and regularly bathed dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My experience there helped me build strong skills in animal handling and care. I’ve also owned many types of pets over the years and currently have two cats of my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, bathing, or just giving them love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently spend most of my time caring for my daughter and cats, but am looking to share my love with other animals in need of care while their parents are busy! This can include regular services Monday to Saturday between 8:15 am and 4:45 pm; if you need something outside of this, message me and we’ll see what we can work out! For dogs, any equipment must be provided by you to ensure I am using leashes, toys, etc. that fit your pet and they are comfortable with. For cats, I can provide a cat harness or stroller to take them outside in a controlled environment for extra enrichment. I also have a set of cat toys to bring if needed.

“Justin stopped in to feed our cats a couple times over a weekend. when we returned, the cats seemed completely un-phased by our absence, which is always great! We will definitely reach out to Justin again.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager I had my childhood dog for 17 years, so I understand all the needs an older dog might have. I currently have a 5 year old Bichon/Llasa Apso mix who loves other dogs. Any dog coming into my care will always be treated like my own and given the love they deserve. I currently work from home and am a single mom, so day time care is pretty easy to fit into my day. My best days for availability are Wednesday and Thursday. I will also have a smattering of availability on the weekends I have a big fenced in yard and a 5 year old dog named Gus, who will love spending time with your dogs. There are lots of great walking paths around my neighborhood to keep your pet happy and acurve. All pets are allowed on the furniture or in bed at night but I do have crates if that is preferred.

“This was our first time using Rover. Taryn made this a great first experience! We have two senior cats who each need different kinds of wet and dry food, and one needs medicine crushed up in her wet food. We had specific instructions about what kind of food to feed to which cat, how to prepare the food, where to put it, etc. She followed all instructions perfectly and spent the whole rest of the time brushing, playing, and giving attention to them. She sent us pictures and updates after each drop in visit. We are very pleased and will definitely be rebooking!”

“Sydney did a great job with our senior yorkie. She understood her needs and Molly really enjoyed her time. Glad we found a great Rover pup sitter. ❤️”

About: I have both a cat and dog at my home which I take care of. I also have both watched cats and dog sat for families in my area. I’m currently available after 5 pm Mon-Thursday after 3 on Fridays and anytime during the weekend! I have some midday availability sometimes as well, we can chat more about this. I am happy to follow a list you leave behind in order to care for your animal! It’s important for me to know what your animal likes and doesn’t like!

About: I've always loved animals. I've helped to walk my families dogs since I was a kid and have always loved hanging out with furry friends. I currently work a full time job but have the weekends free to spend lots of time with your pet. I also have plenty of time on weeknights to still give your baby some love. Keeping your pet feeling comfortable and safe in their home with a new person is extremely important. I seek to provide a stable, as close to normal routine for your pet while you're away.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old. I’ve had family and friends rely on me to care for their animals. My current work schedule is more flexible, so I would have a wider range of availabilities for pet care activities and daily walks, or drop-ins. Safety would always be a top priority. Whether it’s in my home, or your home, your pet is my focus and their joy is guaranteed.

“Jake is a fantastic dog sitter. We are so fortunate to have him with our older rescue dog! He is attentive to her needs and we appreciate his dedication.”

About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.

“Not a single complaint, thanks for the help Stephanie!”

About: (WILL BE LEAVING ROVER AFTER AUGUST FOR CAREER PURPOSES) I've been a pet parent for as long as I can remember! I grew up around various dog breeds and other exotic pets so I'm well versed in pet personalities! I've worked in 3 doggy daycares over the past 5 years and have loved every second of it ! I'm able to administrator medication as well to senior or special care pets ! Currently working a few side gigs so my schedule is super flexible! I'm an early bird and can be there as needed but tend not to be around too late at night. I'd love to have​ your furry friend as part of my daily routine ! I'm used to different sized dogs so wrangling them into crates or rooms as needed is no problem ! I take extra care to keep your home clean and loved to make your time away stress free for you and your pet! (As a policy of my own, I don't tend to stay overnight in client homes unless discussed)

“Hillary did an awesome job checking in on my cats while we were away for a few days. They are both very shy, but she got them to come out the first day she fed them!”

Brandon F.

“Sara was great! I will definitely be using her in the future. She sent lots of pictures which I greatly appreciated. She hung out with our cat, emptied the litter boxes and even brought in our mail.”
