“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: Ive been taking care of dogs all my life! I’ve grown up with many different animals like dogs, cats, and rabbits, and have been relied on by neighbors and friends to look after their furry family members. The happiness and safety of your pet is the most important to me and I’d love to show your dog some love and treat them like my own! I currently have finished my summer job, so I have a ton of availability to provide care for your pet! This is the perfect time to book with me as I have a ton of availability I’d love to take you’re pet on hikes, play outside with then, and give them so much love! I can crate your pet if need, give medication, anything to make sure you feel comfortable and your fur baby is happy
About: I’ve had over 7 dogs throughout my life, alongside horses, cats, and even turtles. I’ve grown up around every type of dog and love to love them on constantly. There is nothing better to me than pup snuggles, long walks, and lots of pets. I don’t think of it as a job, I think of it as the best part of my day❤️ I work every weekday in town at Bluebird! We loveeee doggies in the store and have 2 other sweet pups with us at all times. If your pup is well behaved enough they’re welcome to join the crew at work - if not, I am able to leave 2 times during the day to walk and play with the doggo! Regardless I am dedicated to loving and caring for your pet at all times! I personally love snuggling with pups so i like to spend a lot of time loving on them on the couch with a good show and lots of pets. I live in a townhouse by myself so it’s very relaxed and in your home it will always just be me and your doggo!
About: I’ve loved dogs and all animals really my whole life. I currently have one who loves all furry friends. We would love to take care of your buddy while you are away! I currently work from home and have lots of time to care for your furry friend(s) when you are away. I like to get outside and get your pets as much exercise and play time as they need. I have a fenced yard and a large open space where they can run and play while supervised. Having a dog and cat my house is set up for your dog!
“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.”
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 professor at MSU who loves animals of all sorts. I have a 9-year-old golden retriever named Moab and a 4 month old golden retriever named Laney. They both love to go on long walks, play outside, and meet new friends. Moab is a PSA, so he is super well-behaved and friendly, and is great with all people and pets. Laney is a spitfire who loves everyone and everything. Please don't hesitate to ask questions or make requests that aren't on my page.
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!
“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 :)”
About: Hi there! My name is Samantha and since I am home full-time, your pets will receive my undivided attention and a flexible routine tailored exactly to their needs. I genuinely love both cats and dogs, and I focus on providing a calm and reliable presence. Whether I am staying at your home, dropping in, or out on a walk, your pet's safety is my absolute top priority. I can confidently monitor everything they chew on, what they eat, and keep a strict, watchful eye whenever they are outside around other dogs. What sets me apart is my extensive, practical experience with medical and senior care. I am entirely comfortable administering pills, liquids, specialty diets, and medical shots (like insulin). Services I Offer: ~In-Your-Home Sitting, Walks, & Drop-Ins: Available for cats and dogs of all ages. ~Senior-Only Boarding (My Home): I live right on a beautiful trail system perfect for peaceful, low-impact walks! I have two sweet senior dogs of my own who love calm company. Because my dogs prefer a quiet environment, I happily open my home to fellow senior dogs only—no energetic puppies, just a relaxed space for older pups to lounge and stroll safely.I treat every animal in my care with the same love, protection, and respect I give my own! Because I am home full-time with an open schedule, I am flexible and can easily structure my days around your pet's exact feeding, walking, and medication timelines. My regular day already revolves around senior pet care. I live right on a beautiful trail system, so my mornings and evenings include peaceful, low-impact trail walks. If I am house sitting for you, doing drop-ins, or hosting a fellow senior dog at my place, your pet will seamlessly fit into this relaxed, attentive routine. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins): When I watch your pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine exactly as it is to prevent any stress. I am hyper-vigilant about their safety. I closely monitor everything they chew on or eat, and I keep a watchful eye whenever we are outside around other dogs. I am highly experienced with medical routines, so I can smoothly handle precise schedules for pills, liquid medications, specialty diets, and medical shots (like insulin).
“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!

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.
<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 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 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.
