“Sarah was so amazing!!!! I haven’t left my dogs for this long for many years and I generally leave them with family. Sarah absolutely treated my boys like family and kept me updated and at ease the entire time! I highly recommend her to take the best care of your fur babies.”
“Alexandra was great with the dogs. She understood the needs and limitations of my geriatric pup and was willing to keep up with the energy level of my 4 1/2 year old lab who thinks she is still a puppy. She left my home clean and was respectful of the space. I would gladly have her sit again!”
“Ashley was wonderful with our dog and house. Extremely cold weather moving through created some unexpected difficulties that she handled well. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Came home to two happy pups. Jamie is great with our dogs (one a puppy) despite them being a little difficult when together. She updates us with pictures, communicates clearly, and is respectful of our house. Thank you, Jamie!”
“Becky was an awesome sitter!! She stayed at our house and took great care of our senior dog and tortoise. She was very communicative and continuously sent us photos of how they were doing. She became concerned about our dog not wanting to take his meds and found another creative way to give them to him. She also washed the linens and took out the trash and left the house spotless. We will definitely have her sit for us again. Thank you so much, Becky!”
“Wynne cared so well for our two dogs! She listened to all the instructions and made sure they got good exercise. When we got home from our trip, I could tell the pups had been loved and were happy! Would totally book Wynne again!”
“Amazing Sitter! So dependable and affordable. We left for 4 days and have four dogs, two of which are very needy and affectionate. As their mom I was apprehensive of leaving them for the first time, but they had a blast with Mollie!”
About: I recently graduated from the air force academy this past May. I have had experience with fostering dogs, as well as having a family dog back at home. I am a very attentive person and love spending time with dogs in any way. Fostering has taught me a lot about working with different dogs and although I don’t know everything, I believe I can do a great job with what I am given. I am currently working a job from 8-3:30pm on the weekdays but am mostly free all weekends. My workplace is pretty flexible as well, where I was able to bring my foster dog into work and be in my office room with me. I live in an apartment but have the space for a crate if needed and live in a gated complex where the dogs can go for walks or have a little bit of space to run around in the grass areas.
About: I’ve been a vet assistant for over 3 years and am studying to be a vet tech. I have experience with a wide range of temperaments and medical conditions and understand the care needed. I am fortunate to be able to see first-hand the beautiful, unique love between humans and their pets. I know being away from our fur babies can be stressful for you and them so I guarantee that I will give the love, comfort, energy and care needed as though they were my own :) For four days a week, I work 8am-6pm. I offer my services before and after. On my days off, which are inconsistent, I am open all day unless otherwise specified. Available on weekends too, unless otherwise specified. With clear, precise information on your pet, their lifestyle, and with you and your home, I am able to do whatever is needed with safety and satisfaction.
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals and am willing to take care of even more. I love reptiles and rodents. Cats especially! If you have a small dog or cat that you can't clip their nails then leave it to me, I can handle that for ya! It fits most of my day, I am very anxious and care deeply for the safety and health of my pets. It is a daily thing for me to check on everything. I personally own a cat and used to own a guinea pig. (Rip Pumpkin) I make sure the food bowl is full 2 times a day because my son doesnt like seeing the bottom. I make sure to check the litter box and water every single day to make sure theres no blowouts and that things are kept clean. I will play with him for a solid 2 hours at least a day (hes very large) and then he gets lap cuddles almost all day.
“Hanui was incredible with our pup. She made sure that Maple was well taken care of, provided regular updates and genuinely seemed to enjoy hanging out with her. You can tell she truly loves being around dogs. We will for sure look to work with Hanui again in the future.”
“Ashley is an outstanding pet sitter! She is trustworthy, caring, and her communication was excellent throughout. She did everything in her power to make my little guy feel comfortable and safe while I was away (he shys away from strangers and it's stressful for him when I leave). She got him to warm up quickly and I was able to relax knowing he was in her care. I came home to a perfectly clean place and a happy and relaxed kitty. I would request her services again in a heartbeat!”
“Maria is amazing! I am always really worried at first when leaving my pups with a new sitter, but she was able to instantly ease my mind with her love and care for my dogs from the first moment she met them. She makes sure to send tons of updates while you’re away to bring comfort. When I got home, I noticed that the dogs were really happy and calm. I can tell they were well taken care of. My home was left better than it was before my trip - she cleaned up and made the bed with fresh sheets before she left. I also returned to a kind handwritten note thanking me for trusting them, letting me know how much she loved the dogs, and updating me on the care she offered them. Already booked her for my next trip! Thank you Maria!”
About: I have pet set for a number of years for my family and friends and I have pets myself and some have found forever homes with me. I have an open house where the animals feel safe and can be themselves. Playing is always encouraged and lots of lap time and loving is always available. I know how important pets are in making our lives happy and healthy. My pets have their own crate that they can go into whenever they want, I even have a cat that enjoys his safe crate too. Your pet will be treated the same as I treat my own pets and my pets are spoiled rotten. You can feel confident that your pet is taken care of and safe while you are away.
“Danielle made my first weekend trip away so much better! She took such great care of all three of my animals and they really loved her. I’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Madison was incredibly responsible and was not put off by all the odd requests for our anxious and neurotic 10.5 year old Dutch Shepherd. I would highly recommend her for house sitting/pet sitting.”
“Sky was amazing! We just moved from out of town and knew nobody. So it was scary entrusting a stranger with our fur babies. But Sky was great! She was polite and gave us updates throughout our trip. We would definitely use her services again!”
“Ryleigh is fantastic! We highly recommend her! Both dogs love her! she’s prompt, made sure the dogs always had fresh water, kept their area clean, and sent updates (with pictures). We will definitely be using her services again, thank you😁”

David was very responsive and detail oriented! He did everything we asked him to do while keeping our high maintenance Frenchie. He made our first experience amazing using someone other than family to both house and pet sit. We will definitely use him again as well as recommend him to anyone looking for A+ care Of their fur babies!
She was absolutely wonderful with my pups! She took such great care of them and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats pets like her own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Monument is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $78 per night. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,424 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Monument. 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 Monument 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 Monument 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 Monument 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monument. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
