About: I grew up on a farm in Upstate New York, taking care of my dogs, chickens, cats, and horses. I've loved animals for a long time, and feel that they provide a much needed therapeutic and calming part of my life. I'm in London doing my Masters at UCL, and would love to be able to spend some time with dogs! As far as house sitting, besides caring for my own animals my whole life, I have done dog sitting for 4 days for a good friend in Boston (where I went to Brandeis University). The dogs I took care of there were older, one had significant arthritis that made it difficult to move. I took them outside to go to the bathroom frequently, and even went swimming with them once! Moreover I have worked as a groom and stable hand at a horse show barn, caring for horses. I really love spending time with animals, especially dogs, because they are so loving and the experience is so rewarding! Since dogs help me to feel good, it's the least I can do to make them feel good and give back. When I was going to school in Boston I also worked as a dog walker for Wag! now and then, and found that I really enjoyed walking dogs as well. I would be a great house sitter, and walker partly because I enjoy spending time with dogs, but also because I know how important it is that animals are cared for and loved. I'm currently working remote and part time, so I have a very flexible schedule to fit in plenty of pet care time and fun! I am able to live and work in different locations for any amount of time. N/A - I can't currently offer pet care at my home, but I am happy to come to you and spend time with your pets wherever their home is.
“This was the first time we’ve had anyone look after our two year old, 80 lb Catahoula. Britta was fantastic! Great communicator, was able to establish trust and be a strong pack leader immediately. We knew we had left our energetic, stubborn, and velcro pup in the right hands. We would definitely recommend Britta to others.”
“Abby was amazing with our pup! Our dog is a little shy and skittish at first but warmed up to Abby right away. She stayed at our house for 10 days and took our dog out on walks multiple times a day. We got great updates and the house was spotless when we arrived back home. Thanks so much! I would definitely book with Abby again ☺️”
“Ryan was awesome with our dogs! He stayed over at our home and took great care of them. He gave them lots of love, walks and attention. We even received pictures and videos or our dogs playing. We would definitely ask Ryan to watch our pups for us again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of pets for most of my life. Growing up I had birds and fish and since I'm an adult I have had dogs. I also used to foster dogs, that's how I ended up with the love of my life - my dog Shandy. While fostering her, she stole my heart and she became my "foster failure" because I couldn't give her up and instead adopted her. She has been the light of my life but unfortunately I lost her 4 years ago. While I'm not ready for my next companion quite yet I still have Iots of love and cuddles to give and would love to love on yours. I've been taken care of friends and neighbors cats and dogs over the years. While I do work around 35 hours a week I will make time to take care of your pets. I offer walks, drop-ins and overnight and extended stays. Also available for the holidays. I'm available for walks, drop-ins or overnight and extended stays at your place or mine. I will feed, walk and exercise your pet and anything else you may need like administering medication.
About: Like many others in this world, my love for animals started as a child. I’ve owned dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, reptiles, amphibians etc. I have always admired the connection between “man” and dog and the loyalty and compassion that comes with it. I unfortunately had to put my dog down recently and so i am hoping that being able to help care for other peoples pups, will allow me the space to help heal this hole in my heart. Having cared for all of my friends and family’s animals over the years, everybody knows they can rely on me to provide the best care and entertainment for their furry friend. I work Mon-Friday 8-5 so i would ideally do best with clients who might work opposite schedules/in the evening or night. I live in Big Sky so i am available to be in most parts of town for pop ins during the day as well depending. I know that allowing a pet care service into your home can likely be a nervous or possibly uneasy experience for some people, however i think it is important to note that my respect goes beyond just that of your pet. I have respect for your space and your routine as well. I do like to leave a “report card” after each visit letting you know how the appointment went and what all we were up to! I take the time and care to understand your animal on a behavioral and emotional level to make them more comfortable in your absence, and yes i’ll likely talk to them throughout my visit in some weird dog voice, i can’t help it.
About: Hello! I am a 25-year-old PhD student and Teaching Fellow at UNT who loves animals of all sorts. I have a 2-year-old golden retriever named Moab who loves to go on long walks, play outside, and meet new friends. He is my ESA, so he is super well-behaved and friendly, and is great with all people and pets. I moved to Denton in August for school/work, and was living in upstate New York before that, where I was a college running coach and worked as a writing tutor for students. I would love the chance to meet fellow animals lovers in the area, and am super flexible with scheduling. I'm willing to work around you and your needs, so please don't hesitate to ask questions or make requests that aren't on my page. Hope to talk soon!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have cared for them most of my life. My family has had dogs since I was little, and I’ve frequently been the one to feed, walk, and watch them since middle school. I also regularly walk and watch friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, so I have experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. I love getting outside with dogs for walks and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of exercise and affection, and send you updates so you can feel confident they’re in great hands. I’m currently working during the day from Saturday through Wednesdays so I am available during the mornings and evenings to take care of your dogs or take them on walks. I also occasionally have time in between tours to come check in on your dogs. I love to take dogs on lots of walks to make sure they are getting their energy out and also spend as much chill time with them as they need!
“Great care! Carolina and Brandon took great care of my pets for a weekend away. They were very attentive to my instructions and left the house just as they found it. My dogs really warmed up to them. This was my first Rover visit in-house so I was a little nervous in general but after meeting our sitters ahead of time, I felt assured. They are very nice, responsible people that I can entrust my pets with.”
“Emily was absolutely perfect with my boys. When i returned home the house was clean and dogs were very happy! She sent me pictures of the boys every day and i loved that. I would highly recommend Emily 👍🏻”
“Lillian was absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter for a long weekend!! She kept my pup super active - I knew he was getting great care and lots of fun activity! She was very respectful of the home and left it very clean. She went above and beyond what I expected. Would 1000% rebook!”
About: WFH dog lover seeking four-legged coworker 🐕🐾 I spend my weekdays working from home and would love a four-legged coworker to join me. Your pup will enjoy mid day walks, play breaks, and lots of cuddles in between meetings. I’m home all day, so there’s no long stretches alone. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventure walks or is more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I’m happy to match their vibe. I live in a two bedroom apartment by myself, so there would be plenty of space for your pup to play or lounge. I am also available to dogsit and available for drop in walks! I like to get active on the weekends and would love a dog buddy to run and hike with.
“Michaela was the best dog sitter ever for our Yellowstone trip!!! She met us at our campground and took our Cooper for the day so we could enjoy the park and not worry about our pup 🐶 Her communication was wonderful leading up to our trip and during the day with our dog ( cell signal permitting) I definitely recommend Michaela to care for your fur babies❤️🐶”
About: Even though dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am fairly new to the animal care world. All I can really say is that I will get along with your companion more than you probably. Animals understand me and I understand them. My goal is to be a shoulder to lean on for your pet. I will give them exercise, loving, treats, or just a warm place to snuggle. What ever your pet needs to get through the day, week, or month until your celebrated return. Like I said before my life purpose is your furry friend. I am working towards being available every day of the week. I find a joy in being with animals so why not make it my full time job. I am really flexible, so let me know what you need and I will most likely be able to make it work. I am open to all clients wishes. My services very depending on what the client needs . I have a vehicle that can fit most if not all species and breeds. Crating your animal will be no problem if desired. I love to play fetch, walk, brush, wrestle, read to, just cuddle. Really what ever your animal needs I am willing to do.
“Rylee took great care of our pups on a last minute trip. She was flexible with our timing and was great at communicating with us. We look forward to her watching our pups again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Big Sky
We had such a great experience with Bray! They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and truly caring with our dog. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable while we were away. She kept us giving us updates throughout the night and would even send us pictures! We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, trustworthy dog sitter!
Absolutely the best! She watched our pups over a long holiday trip, and loved on them the entire time. They got lots of exercise and we got daily updates (photos included). Also, a stellar house sitter - letting us know about packages that arrived and the house was so clean when we got back. Will absolutely use Sydney again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Big Sky
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Big Sky on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 235 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Big Sky. 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 Big Sky 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 Big Sky 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 Big Sky 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 Big Sky. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
