Karin was AMAZING with our pets! We were a bit nervous leaving our three dogs and two cats for the first time, but she put us at ease right away during our meet & greet and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying if they were being well cared for. Karin provided updates and beautiful pictures showing us how happy they were. 100% will ask Karin for another stay!

About: I’ve owned several dogs/cats since I was a child, bathing them, cleaning up after them, medicating them, and playing/walking them. I now work at a vet clinic, where all or my knowledge has come from. I’m currently working full time at a vet clinic, this is more as needed and affordable. I’m willing to stop by prior to and after work as well as stay on my days off. We can discuss further and if too busy for your kiddos I won’t be offended. I plan to care for you pet as you do at home, including play time, feedings, medications, and outside time. If you are working on training, I can provide some help with that while you are gone (just let me know of instructions).

About: Large dominant dog experience. Drop in visits and walks during the week available at this time. New puppies to seniors and special needs that need some love. Early morning and late day drop ins and walks. I work mid shift with flexible hours. Looking to help with short potty breaks before pet parents can get home from out of town. We use crates but understand it's not necessary for all dogs at home. I need to know the client's local veterinarian in case of emergency and if the dogs know basic obedience when coming to your home.

About: About Me 🐾 Hi!! I’m a 30-year-old elementary school teacher who absolutely loves animals 💛 I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life—it’s something that just comes naturally to me! I’ve had the opportunity to dog sit for a few wonderful families (including one with both dogs and a cat!), and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, loves to cuddle, or prefers a calm and cozy environment, I’m happy to match their energy and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and very trustworthy. Families trust me every day with their children, and I bring that same level of care and dependability when looking after pets. I understand how important routines are and how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone—and I don’t take that lightly. I will treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and so well cared for while you’re away. My Experience 🐶🐱 - Grew up on a farm (lots of hands-on animal care!) - Dog sitting experience with multiple families - Experience caring for both dogs and cats in the same home - Comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and routines A Little Extra 🐾 I love sending updates, pictures, and little check-ins so you always feel connected and reassured 😊 Availability 🐾 I’m available for pet care before and after school during the week, which works great for morning visits, walks, or evening check-ins. As a teacher, I have a consistent daily schedule, so you can count on me to be dependable and on time. I’m also open to weekend care when my schedule allows—feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate! Safety, Trust & Environment 🐾 I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. As a teacher, I’m very responsible, trustworthy, and detail-oriented, so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands. I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and doing well 😊

About: I've taken care of cats and several types of dogs, mostly of the large kind, for friends and family as well as raising many kittens in my own home. I have experience with all ages of dogs and am comfortable with high energy dogs as long as they don't have aggressive tendencies. I have worked on some (very) basic dog training, but nothing at all professional. I have also had and taken care of ducks, chickens, rabbits and fish. If you need a companion for your pet, I would love to be of service for you! I am currently unemployed and living at home, so any schedule you would like for your animals while I'm there with them, I am able to do! I'm happy to take dogs for walks, play with cats, or whatever you need me to do for their schedules.:) I will be respectful of whatever boundaries you have for your home, or with your pets. I am happy to care and be involved with your pets in whatever way you need. I am patient with animals that take a bit of time to warm up to more people, so don't worry about being offended. I will always have the best interest of you and your pet in mind while I am on the job.:)

Robert was an outstanding sitter. Our dog seemed to love him. He spent lots of time with her, walked her, and sent us many photos. He also took good care of our home — despite a complete power outage in our neighborhood for 24 of the 48 hours he was at our home. When the ice in the freezer melted and leaked from the freezer, he took the initiative to clean it up and make sure it didn’t become a bigger problem damaging the wood floors.

About: For nearly 20years I’ve been caring for animals of all types. I have experience with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Reptiles, and just about everything in between. Family, Friends, Neighbors, Co-Workers and Clients have relied on me to care for their furry family members & I’ve had furry family members of my own my whole life. I have worked with all ages and sizes, and am comfortable with pets with disabilities or medical needs. For the past 16years I’ve cared for people with disabilities as a Direct Support Professional. I am currently doing that as a part-time night shift, so I am available most days and eves, during the week and on weekends! I have loved many forms of my own pets and understand the importance of safety and trust that comes with caring for another’s loved one. I currently plan to do pet walking, play dates, and sitting in your home. May consider overnight stays. May consider boarding on case by case basis. Always open for requests, and again, will consider on a case by case basis.

About: While I'm more experienced with cats in my home, I have always been the go-to pet sitter for all friends and family. I appreciate that they get just as excited to go for a w-a-l-k as I do. It helps that my schedule is extremely flexible since I'm a bartender who works odd hours. I can do early mornings, late nights, and a mix of anything you need in between. I'm a bartender, so I am available early mornings, late nights, and a good mix of anything in between. The bar I work at is also closed on Sundays and Mondays, so scheduling on those days is completely flexible. My cats are fairly active, so we spend quite a bit of time playing fetch or hide and seek (cats are so odd). I also take them on bike rides with my bike trailer attachment. I'm also equipped to handle medication needs. I don't crate my cats when I'm not home, so that would have to be provided by the client if there is a requirement for one.

Brittney was truly the best!!! She kept us updated every day, multiple times a day, with pictures and messages about our 3 kitties. She went above and beyond for us and put our mind at ease while we were away for the weekend. We couldn’t recommend her more!

About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Montrose

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 210 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South 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 South 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 South 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 South 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 South Montrose. On Rover:

  • 75% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
