“Jodie is a cat whisperer!!! One of my kitties hides for all visitors and she was out and about with Jodie. She did a great job with updates and photos too! Will definitely be my new go-to sitter.”
“Brooke was a Godsend helping us with our pup while we spent the day out during our vacation. She came over twice to walk/play and feed our girl and provided excellent feedback and plenty of pictures! We look forward to having Brooke care for our fur baby when we come to town next time! I highly Recommend Brooke for any of your pet care needs!”
“Jamie was great! She came and checked on our pups twice while we were visiting. She took great care of them and gave them lots of love. Sent a lot of pictures too. It was great to have someone check on them while we were away for a longer day.”
About: Hi! As a kid I had multiple dogs through out the years; a Golden Retriever, Jack Russel, Chow mix, and now my parents have a 110 lb Golden doodle who I see a few times a year. Here in Colorado I have my own Wire Hair Terrier and "something else mix", named Iko. He's a sweet heart who loves to run, hike, back country ski, and lounge on the porch in the sun. I think dogs are happiest when getting enough exercise, attention, and socialization, and I promise to provide that for your pup. My husband and I petsit for friends often, and love having some extra pups in the house, it helps our dog get good healthy socialization and tuckers him out a bit! Both my husband and I work from home, so your pup wont be left at home alone for long periods of time. Please let me know if your pet does have any separation anxiety, or if being left alone is a concern. My house has a 1 acre fenced pasture for your pup to run around in, I'm also less than a mile from National Forest where I can take your dog on leashed walks/runs.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and being around pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. I’m a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own who are truly loved and treated like family. ❤️ I’m currently working very limited hours at a coffee shop, so I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my #1 priority. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’ll adjust to each individual pet. I’ll treat your home the way I treat my own and keep the main focus where it belongs—your pet!
About: We live on one acre in the forest with our three dogs, two 11 year old Australian Shepherd Heelers and a 2 year old Toy Australian Shepherd. Our home is filled with love and plenty of space, making it the perfect place for your pet to feel right at home. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with both senior dogs and puppies. I have a deep understanding of their unique needs, from providing gentle care and attention to older dogs to helping puppies with the right training and socialization. I’ll love your pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive the best possible care. ❤️💛💚 I'm available full-time to assist with your furry family members whenever you need. Just let me know the schedule that works best for you, and we can make it happen! 🌹 Boarding in My Home: When your pet stays with us, they become part of the family. 🏡 We provide a safe, 💚 loving environment where they can enjoy supervised playtime in my fenced yard with my dogs, relax indoors, or have quiet time in a crate if that’s what they prefer. I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible, including 🧀 feeding schedules, 🎾 exercise, 🐾 and any special care they need. House Sitting in Your Home: When I stay in your home, 🏘️ I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I take care of all their needs, from feeding 🥣 and walking 🦮 to administering medications 🩺 and keeping them company. Your home will be looked after as well, 📱with regular updates to keep you informed while you’re away. Drop-in Visits in Your Home: For pets that need a little extra attention during the day, I offer drop-in visits. 🏠 I’ll stop by to feed, play, walk, or simply check in on your pet, making sure they get the care and companionship they need while you’re away. Doggie Daycare in My Home: Your dog can spend the day playing 🥏, socializing 🐕, and relaxing in a safe 🦦, supervised environment🧚🏽. With plenty of space to run around in our fenced yard and time to rest indoors, your dog will enjoy a fun and stimulating day with our three dogs. Dog Walking in Your Neighborhood: I offer dog walking services in your neighborhood, making sure your dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need. Whether it’s a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll, I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and preferences. 🧍🏽♀️🦮🐕🦺
About: Hello! I was in the service industry for over 25 years, and developed lots of allergies…so I am now the Barktender! I own my own business, offering cleaning, petsitting and other services my commUNITY may need. Very rewarding! Love my life! I am using Rover to fill in the few gaps I have, hopefully outside my home area, to travel more. The winters are getting too long for me, after being in the mountains for almost 20 years. I have been apprenticing under a dog trainer for several years and about to venture on my own! I have experience with some livestock and eager for more experience! I have a thirst for knowledge and learn quickly. I love animals and do my best to treat all the animals as my own. I own my own business and try to schedule jobs to accommodate to your pets needs. I do cleaning, yard work etc on the side and my schedule is very flexible. I can not have pets in my home. This is why I started the business. I love animals and hard to find pet friendly places in the mountains! Your pets are my priority!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I worked at the Boulder humane center for over five years as a certified dog handler and caretaker. I ran my own small business for dog walking and dog sitting with over 100 clients. Been on rover for a while, happily servicing dogs in the Bozeman Area! I am a recent grad with a passion for dogs! I studied engineering at MSU and pride myself on my time management and punctuality. I am working part time as a ski Instructor with a flexible schedule. This goes to say but if my calendar says I’m available, I am! I currently live in an house with a non fenced yard. We do live backed up to a park, and it is a great space to let any dog run around or do their business!
About: I grew up with a rescue dog, raising him from a puppy all the way through his life. This came with challenges due to his background, and he required a lot of extra care and training. I am very used to puppies or dogs that may be extra energetic or need extra attention. I am still surrounded my family members' dogs, and I have housesat for other dogs in the past as well for weeks at a time. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them and helping out when I can. Although I don't have a dog myself right now, I will always take an opportunity to hang out with a dog while helping the owner out as well! I currently work a full time job, but my hours are flexible, so I have some time before/during/after work. I also get an hour break in the middle of my day, which is a great time to take a dog for a walk or stop by and let the dog out. Weekdays are best, but I am usually around on weekends as well. I don't currently have any pets, but when I had a dog we had an electric fence and were able to let him out to run freely. I am used to walking dogs on leashes, but happy to let them off leash or take to the dog park at the owner's discretion. I always discuss with the owner what toys the dog is allowed to have, how much to feed them, how often they should be let out, how many walks a day, how they act with other dogs, and overall care in the home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alma is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 per visit. 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 293 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alma. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
