“We are thankful we have Kathleen to rely on when we travel and need care for our beloved Jasper. It is clear she loves small dogs and enjoys spending time with them. She is easy to communicate with and responds promptly. We’ve just booked our third stay with her and plan to continue to use her in the future.”
“Eliza was wonderful! She was super accommodating and flexible with pick-up and drop-off, which made the whole process so easy. She was also great about communicating throughout the weekend and sent photos and updates of our pup, which we really appreciated! It was so nice knowing Harlow was in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Eliza and would happily book with her again!”
“Tara was able to help me on a Holiday wknd when my first sitter had to cancel due to a family emergency. She was good with Lucky and sent me photos and videos. My dog enjoyed playing with her 2 dogs and another dog she sitting. She is close to Bozeman airport and has a nice yard for the dogs. I will be using her again.”
“Christina took my dog for an awesome hike with a dog-friend. He was very happy and didn't want to leave when I picked him up. Christina forwarded me some great pictures while I was gone of my dog and his new pal. I would definitely use her as sitter and recommend her to anyone.”
“Brody loved spending time with Christa, Marek, and Camo again! I never have to worry when I’m out of town since I know he’s in good hands and having a great time with them!”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I currently own a cat, and I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends. Additionally, my time volunteering at an animal shelter gave me great practical skills—from feeding and cleaning up after cats to watering, exercising, and safely walking dogs of all sizes. Because I limit my apartment boarding to just one or two pets, your fur baby will get focused, one-on-one attention in a calm environment. As a student who also works, my daily routine is structured but flexible. I am fully available for morning and evening care, and I balance my schedule so I can easily fit in midday check-ins, walks, and drop-in visits between my classes and shifts. Because I manage my time carefully, pet care fits naturally into my day, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention and regular potty breaks right on schedule. In my home, safety and a low-stress environment are my top priorities. Because I live in an apartment with my own cat, I only board one or two pets at a time, ensuring they get dedicated one-on-one attention and have plenty of space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow the owner's exact instructions regarding their routine, feeding schedules, and safety boundaries. Whether at my home or yours, I always double check that doors and gates are secure, maintain a calm atmosphere, and keep a close eye on body language to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
“Holly was great with my aussie, Draper! 😊 She clearly loves dogs. She practiced great safety in feeding separate, having separate areas if needed, having AC and access to water throughout the home so her dog and my dog could both enjoy their time together! Her puppy is sweet and had great manners with my dog. I was super confident my pup would be well taken care of while I was out. Would book again!”
“Allie was absolutely amazing! She was so quick to respond and was able to dog-sit Jasper last minute on a holiday weekend. I am so appreciative of Allie and her dog Walter!”
“Kelly was very easy to work with, communicative and despite some extraneous circumstances, Kelly went above and beyond to make sure that Cash was well taken of. Very grateful for her commitment.”
About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life. Two of which live with my parents back in my hometown, and we have had them since they were puppies. With both dogs, I have personally crate trained and potty trained them both, as well as trained them to sit, lay down, and wait for their food. Additionally, a fun skill one of mine has learned is to wait and lift up each leg to get his harness on. While that is all experience with my own dogs, I have also done many drop in visits and overnight sitting for other pets. I am currently work a full-time job and am available to care for your pets in the evenings during the weekdays. As for weekends, I am available for boarding at my home, walks and drop-in visits! In your home, I will make sure that your pets are comfortable with me before proceeding, as this is the most important! Additionally, if you crate your dogs, I will make sure that they get to potty, play, and have water before returning to their crate. I am always open for any special requests that you may have, such as help with training, bathing, etc.

“Erika was great again! She's very professional and flexible with pick up/drop off. Her yard has great space for dogs, and she has no problem managing serveral dogs there at once. My dog Winnie has tons of fun with her! I really appreciated a video she sent from the dog bus with each dog looking comfortable and seat belted into their own bus bench.”
“Goose had such a fun time staying with Alexandra and her pups. She was so helpful in pick up and drop off when car troubles made it difficult and she sent updates and cute pics throughout the week. We will definitely be boarding with Alexandra again!”
About: I have been dog sitting for about 5 years, I can manage medications or any needs your dog needs. I have one dog who is super friendly and gets along with any dogs!! I have sat in peoples houses and have kept them in my own. I take my dog on at least one walk a day and would make sure your dog got outside and has lots of play time! I have a dog of my own and I take her on a walk or throw to her daily! I let her out every 3-6 hours, and am available for different schedules! My dog is well trained but I let her on furniture and my bed. I would be willing to adjust based on each dogs needs. I live in the basement of a home and have plenty of room for a crate and some extra paws!
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life and have taken care of friends and neighbor's dogs for as long as I can remember. I thoroughly enjoy dogs [and cats] and will show your pets the same amount of love I would show my own! I work a hybrid flexible schedule. I can be available when necessary and will happily schedule around pet sitting. I am almost always available from early morning through early evening. I have a quarter acre fenced yard and a silver lab that loves play dates! We live in a split level so we do have stairs going up or down. We takes lots of walks to the local park and dog park and throw the ball as often as we can!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blackwood
Parker and his girlfriend Trinity are the absolute best dog sitters I could’ve hoped for! They took the time to come over and meet my pup before having her for a week- she instantly loved them and they really made it a point to get to know her/her needs. I was at ease knowing that they would care for her as if she were their own. They sent updates while i was gone and just went above and beyond while she was with them. It was such a weight off my shoulders to not have to worry at all about my sweet pup while away.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Blackwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Blackwood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Blackwood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blackwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
You and your Blackwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
