“Matt was professional, thorough, and most importantly he made Denali feel comfortable while we were gone. He took the time to come over twice before our trip to meet Denali, which made it easier to leave knowing Denali was in good hands. He provided daily updates with pictures and left our house spotless. We’ll be using him again and would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“James was absolutely amazing!!! Took great care of my senior cat Vino who has asthma. I can't recommend James enough! I felt such relief and comfort knowing Vino was in good hands while I was traveling.”
About: Hi my name is Briana! Your dog will have play time outside if raining then we play inside. I have many years of experience with cats and dogs. I love animals of all sizes. I am easily reachable by text or phone call. I love being outside so your dog will get as much exercise as they need. I go above and beyond to take care of dogs. I provide a lot of love. I am excited to care for your pup and treat them as my own! I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! Even though I work full-time, caring for animals is something I naturally build into my day. My mornings and evenings are spent feeding, playing, and snuggling with my two cats, so I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine. On my days off and during flexible hours, I have plenty of time to check in on your pets, give them love and attention, and make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. For dogs, that might include walks or backyard play; for cats and small animals, it can be interactive play or cozy companionship. I also respect your home, keeping things neat and making sure your pets are happy and relaxed until you return.
“We are so grateful we found Nate to take care of our dogs and home while we are away! Always a pleasure to have him. Truly a gentleman with great communication and respect! Thank you again we look forward to next time!”
“Kurstin was an excellent sitter, she took care of our pups (120 lbs Black and Tan Hound and a 28 lbs teddy Roosevelt terrier) for 8 days, sent pictures almost everyday. She made sure they were exercised and happy. I would recommend Kurstin to anyone looking for a dog sitter”
“After our meet and greet, I felt totally at ease with leaving my Lucy in Emily’s care. She obviously loves dogs, that’s for sure! I went away this weekend feeling no anxiety about going because of that. Emily took excellent care of her, sending me occasional pictures. When I came home, Lucy was very happy to see me, and my house was still in perfect order. Emily is the best💕”
“Krista is amazing with the animals. Send lots of pictures and updates and is a great house sitter. Would absolutely recommend to anyone needing extra love and care to pets when they are away from home.”
“Brittney is truly amazing. From making sure the animals were comfortable with a meet-and-greet, to making sure that all dietary and special needs were considered. Even with the typical NEOH snowstorm, Brittney made sure my babies received the best care. I will be rebooking again!”
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 5 years old. Lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Comfortable with all breeds. I’m available any time for any pet sitting or walking needs! I can stay over night or stop in to check up on your pet. I am very neat and will leave your house cleaner than you left it. Your pets will be in responsible loving hands while you’re away!
“Amber is amazing!!! She treated our fur-babies with the most love while we were away! We got picture updates as check ins, and she took tremendous care of our home! 100/10 would book again!!”
About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child and the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked and tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!

FAQs for House Sitting - Montville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 475 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montville. 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 Montville 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 Montville 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 Montville 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 Montville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
