“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”
“Nicholas was communicative and responsible! He responded rapidly to my request and flexible about meeting up prior to my scheduling. He stayed overnight with our two dogs and they were cared for with all of my specific requests. I returned to a shovels walk, clean house and happy dogs!”
“Savannah is great- reliable, communicative, and friendly. While gone for the weekend she made sure to not only check on my two cats, but love on them and play with them too. My favorite part was the update pictures she would send, as well as feedback on how my cats were doing (eating, energy, litter activity, etc.) and having the veterinary background that Savannah does, my babies were in great hands. Consider Savannah for your booking and you won’t be disappointed!”
About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.
“What an OUTSTANDING experience for our furs and for us! 12/10!! We are hoping Samantha is always available for our future trips! Our pets appeared well cared for, as was our home. We will definitely try to rebook, she will be our go to in the future!”
“Jeremy and Megan were wonderful to work with. This was our first time using someone other than friends and family and I don’t think we could have found better. They are kind and communicative. Our dog, Porkchop took to them right away, and we feel our boy got all the love he longs for while we were away. We will definitely use Jeremy and Megan again! Highly recommend.”
About: I have grown up around many different types of dogs and have dog sat all through high school. I have a 1 year old puppy and feel confident in my patience working with younger dogs. I am currently a full time student at the University, therefore I am unavailable during weekdays, but I am 100% flexible on the weekend (Friday-Sunday) I will keep a good eye on your fur baby at all times! I will follow any and all directions provided to keep your pup stress free.
“Ellie is the best! I had a bunch of last minute schedule changes and she was super understanding and flexible. Bullet had a great time with her and she sent plenty of updates and pictures!!”
“Hilton was a great sitter! He followed our instructions for the pups and was really great at communicating how the pups were doing and sending photos. He also tidied up the house while we were away so we would come back to a clean house. Will definitely have him watch our pups again :)”
“Brenna took great care of my dog and my home while dog sitting. She sent pictures and did a nightly check-in letting me know how the day went with my dog. She was extremely responsible and respectful. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Landry has watched our fur babies multiple times and each time Landry is so thorough and takes such good care of not only our animals, but our home too! I highly recommend Landry if you are looking for a house sitter. Your fur babies will be in great hands 🙏🏼 thanks Landry!!”
About: I have always loved animals I have a 7 year old lab that I have been taking care of since we got him. I have always had a heart for animals I walk my dog at least once a day 7 times a week and I feed him and put fresh water in his bowl. When I have to I’ll give him a bath too I have a couple neighbors that always go out of town and I watch there dogs for them. And have never had any trouble with that
About: I got one of my two dogs when she was a very young puppy and learned how to care for and train puppies. I got my other dog as a 2 year old adult and learned how to train and care for adult dogs. Many years of experience dog sitting for all types of doggos:) I am a college student with a pretty flexible schedule looking to make extra money in my free time. I also miss my dogs from home and would love to spend time with dogs or cats! I will not only do what you need for your pet, but also give them love and attention when you are away and can’t. I think this is an important part of pet care.
“Naomi was a fantastic sitter! She stayed at our house for several days and did a great job keeping our very active Vizsla entertained, sending us updates and photos too. When we got home, our pup was happy and tired, and everything in the house was neat and in order. We’d absolutely recommend her!”
“Taylor did an amazing job watching our two older dogs while we were traveling overnight! He sent frequent updates and photos which we loved. He also let us know when one of our dogs was having some food behavior issues and how he addressed it in the moment. The house looked great upon our return. We would absolutely recommend his services and would happily book with him again in the future!”
“I think my dog had a better vacation than we did. Keeley took her on little adventures, got her special treats and gave our energetic pup plenty of physical and mental exercise. Recommended!”
“Sagal treated Lexi like her own which was all that mattered in our book. Lexi ate well while we were gone, and full of energy when we returned so I know she was happy while we were out of town. Sagal left our house in a clean orderly manner. I’d definitely use her again if she were not moving away for college.”
About: I have taken care of pets for a while now. From horses to wiener dogs I have done it all! I started out just taking care of family pets and then slowly I started to hear from other people around town. I love taking care of any sort of dog they are my favorite. Whether the dog needed insulin or two walks a day I would do it. I love animals of all ages and taking care of them is so much fun! I am currently a student at MSU, my schedule has gaps in it so I would be able to go and let the animals out or check in on them when I am not in class. I currently live in the dorms so I would need to take care of the pet in the clients home. I am responsible and respectful young adult who will keep your home and pet in great condition.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since i was very little. Friends and Family have needed me to walk, feed and love their pets. I am experienced with every sized dog and cat. I am currently studying at Montana State University for Equine Science, so I have lots of experience! I’m currently a full time college student at MSU which means I am taking a lot of classes, but feel free to reach out I work my availability around constantly! I am currently living in dorms so I unfortunately cannot accept pets at my home, but I love to dog sit at my clients houses! I can stay at your house overnight or commute and take care of them, either works with me.

Emily was wonderful with my two high energy dogs! She stayed at my place for 10 days while I was traveling. I could tell that the dogs were well taken care of and the house was left clean and tidy. It was so nice to come home to happy pups and a clean house. I highly recommend Emily as a dog and house sitter. She is awesome!!
Sagal treated Lexi like her own which was all that mattered in our book. Lexi ate well while we were gone, and full of energy when we returned so I know she was happy while we were out of town. Sagal left our house in a clean orderly manner. I’d definitely use her again if she were not moving away for college.
Nicolas, or Cole, watched Riley and Orion for us while we were gone several hours at a wedding. He kept in touch with us, took the pups for potty walks and sent photos to update us. Riley isn't always comfortable with men, but she was all over Cole, and Orion loved him, too!! He fed them, and they both ate, which isn't always a given during travel and new places. Cole was great with them, and they may have wanted to go home with him if we'd let them 😁 Thank you for making it much easier and worry-free to be at my niece's wedding. We appreciate the help!!
Jenna is amazing!! She took great care of our dogs… one is elderly and needs more attention than most. She went above and beyond to care for them and this made it easier on us being away from them. I can’t say enough great things about her. Thank you, Jenna! M. Nagel
We had an excellent experience with Galina! She took care of our two dogs in our home while we were away on vacation, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. She was incredibly attentive and caring, and it was clear our dogs felt comfortable and happy with her. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs and home were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Galina to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.

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 Balmont 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 Balmont 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Balmont 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!

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
