About: I have had high energy dogs mostly heelers and love to take them outside for adventures. It helps me bond with them and teach them to be social. I currently work evenings and bring my our dog out for walks all the time during the day. I love taking him to the dog park and hiking and have room to bring others with me. I mostly take my dog to the dog park and leash him when I take him hiking. I would be able to bring another dog with us when we adventure.
About: I have grown up with pets all my life and loved every second of it and wanted to incorporate animals into my life more since moving away. I have cared for many different breeds and sizes of dogs and loved every second of it. I am reliable, punctual and love going to walks or any type of play they want. I ensure your pet’s safety and happiness, as a happy dog is the best sight to see. I am currently an engineering student with classes until 2 pm at the latest. If your pets ever needs an early walk I am open on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays before 11am. Aside from that I am free on weekends whenever needed and I’m always open to last minute walks or anything I could help you with. I will prioritize your pets routine by strictly following any and all care instructions, the more specific the better. When in your home, I ensure everything stays clean and secure. I also love sending photo updates to show you how much fun your pet is having while you’re away! I will answer texts/calls promptly to keep you comfortable and up to date with anything you need.
About: I’ve worked with various animals for over 10 years, and in that time I have also pet sit for friends. I am comfortable handling a wide range of pets. My rabbit is 10 years young and thriving, and my cat is almost 3 and rambunctious. I am experienced in dog, cat, or other senior care. I have also helped friends with socializing foster puppies. I am confident in giving oral medication as well! I just graduated college with a degree in animal science. I recently picked up a job during weekdays in Trumbull, but I can still walk your dog/watch your pet! Generally, I am free: Sat/Sun - Anytime M-F - Extremely early morning or after 3:30pm I will always provide fresh water when I come in and before I leave. If the pet makes a mess I will immediately dispose of it, however if any part of the mess was assumed to be ingested I will let the owner know as soon as possible. Should the pet use the bathroom in the house I will clean and sanitize the area and dispose of the waste outside. The pet will have my full attention and treated with respect during my time with it.
“We were delighted to meet Abby, she walked our mini schnauzer for a week. He can be a challenge but she was so understanding and communicative and put us at ease. She is kind, smart and trustworthy and we are so happy to look for her help in the future. She deserves all the stars, I can’t speak highly enough of her. Thank you Abby!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have experience pet-sitting, including both dogs and cats. I currently have a 1-year-old kitten and have gone through all of the kitty phases. I love staying active with dogs and giving lots of belly rubs and love. I am a student at MSU with a flexible schedule. My weekends, evenings, and afternoons are free. I am able to provide 2-3 visits a day when my schedule allows for it! I treat every pet as if they are my own. I am reliable and quick to adapt. I follow careful instructions to ensure that I meet the needs of your pet's routine.
About: Hi! I have a year of experience volunteering at Heart of the valley animal shelter here in Bozeman, as well as several years of dog/house sitting! Additionally, I have experience working in a senior care center for individuals with dementia. I’m currently working part time and a college student, which means I have some flexibility in my schedule! I’m available Monday and Wednesday 12:30-2:00 and anytime after 4:30. Tuesday and Thursday I’m available anytime before 8am and anytime after 5:45pm. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priority. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and any special requests. During walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, locking doors, and leaving everything just as I found it.
About: I have been taking care of people's pets since 2014! I have cared for a variety of pets (both cats and dogs) of varying ages and sizes. Most of the pets I have cared for have been healthy, but some have had special feeding requirements or physical limitations, such as hip dysplasia. Animals are a huge part of my life as I have been doing wildlife work for the past 3 years, so my care for animals is wide-ranging. I'm ready to meet and love your pets! I currently have a flexible weekday schedule, with consistent availability T-Th with some flexibility on Fridays. I am always willing to discuss and adapt schedules as needed; just reach out! I exclusively do house visits and will always treat your home with the utmost respect. If any specific access instructions are needed, I will be happy to oblige. I can ensure that your pets will be kept under a keen eye during my visits and that I provide a positive environment for them in your home.
About: I’ve grown up with energetic dogs my entire life and have a lot of dog sitting and walking experience with many different breeds. I’ll ensure nothing but tail wags! I currently work a part time job, so will have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed and give lots of scratches to your pup I can follow any necessary schedule or instructions for pups and aim to eliminate any stress for you or your dog throughout the day. I even make healthy homemade dog treats!
About: I love animals and have a ton of experience! I will put your fur baby above my own any day of the week! Reach out when you need some extra hands to take care of you pet! I am a full time student and I am on the volleyball team so managing practice time around the pet is important but very easy to work around. I go on daily walks with my dog. He’s a border collie mix. His name is Byrd and she is super sweet. I live in an apartment complex with doggy parks and a dog wash station!
About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 15 and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve walked neighbors’ dogs and volunteered at local shelters, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or quiet company, I give each pet the attention they deserve. ❤️ I am working part time and will only be out of the house around 4 hours on weekdays. I also have awesome roommates who use Rover and we help each other out when needed. I have a house with lots of outdoor space (not fenced) and 4 female roommates who love animals. Your pup will get lots of attention and care!
About: I absolutely love and adore all dogs! I grew up with a border collie and cared for her when she got old! I also have a 4 year old border collie and am not new to the puppy phases! :) I have dog sat for many of my neighbors growing up and since then. I am happy to meet you and your dog! Like I said I am a pet owner and work a full time job. So I have nothing short of a busy life, but I would love to add your fur friend to my agenda! :) The dogs will go out and play multiple times a day as I have the yard space to allow fetch, chase, or even just lounging. I live in a ground level apartment with an unfenced yard. There is plenty space between the yard and the road, which isn’t a very busy one anyway, but your pet will be safe from any cars, etc. I live about a 5-10 minute walk from Gallatin Regional Dog Park, so if your fur friend needs a fenced in space to run and play, that is an option as well! I also love to explore new parks around town and go on hikes so plenty of adventures will be in place! We will check out different dog parks, go swimming (if that’s what they like), go on hikes, play fetch, go on car rides, and of course cuddle! Nova (my dog) and I live a very busy lifestyle. When I am not at work, we (including your furry friend) will be going on hikes, camping trips, water days, car rides, visit my parents (up in the mountains), or just hang out in the backyard and play. We don’t always go on big adventures as I have plenty of yard space for the dogs to roam freely and run and exercise as needed. *If you are uncomfortable with your pet doing any of these things, please communicate ahead of time or expect some activities to occur.
“Amber was flexible, prompt, and willing to work with my newly adopted, anxious pup. She even picked up some items that my pup had gotten into (he's an 8 month old little troublemaker). She was a real lifesaver! I definitely plan on booking her again.”
About: When I moved away for college, I missed my family dog more than I could have imagined. Over the past 7 years I took every possible opportunity to dog sit, dog walk, dog park, and pet every dog on every side walk. I'm comfortable and confident that I can keep your dog happy and comfortable while you're away. I recently got a dog myself (!), a sweet Samoyed, who is kind and loving to all cats and dogs. If I'm able to bring her along, I can spend much more time with your pets, if not, I am still able to make it work as my husband stays home with her most of the day! I work during the week from 10-4 but have plenty of breaks during the day to step away and care for your pup if needed. I have Saturday - Monday completely free to walk, play and care for your dog, and am willing to be as flexible as possible with your schedule. I'm highly organized and able to follow whatever instructions best suit your home and your dog. I am also creative and flexible to best suit any circumstances that may arise while pet sitting.
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.
About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one — I grew up with everything from spirited poodles to goofy Portuguese Water Dogs to stubborn, sausage-shaped dachshunds, so I’ve got a soft spot for every size, coat, and personality quirk. That early exposure turned into a real passion, and I’ve been professionally walking and sitting dogs since I was 18. I’m an active, outdoorsy person, and I bring that energy to every walk and visit — plenty of play, exploration, and enthusiasm, tailored to whatever your dog is into (fetch fanatic, sniff-everything explorer, or couch cuddler, I’m here for it). What I love most about this work is getting to know each dog as an individual: their quirks, their personalities, their little routines. I treat every dog in my care like my own 🐶🩷 I just moved here and have nothing but time! I am doing some research part time from home, but will have lots of time for your pet :) I know inviting someone into your home to care for your dog is a big trust to extend, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m highly educated, reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, keep your home just as tidy as I found it, and send you photo and video updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority: I’m careful with doors and gates, attentive to any anxiety or health needs, and quick to reach out if anything ever seems off. You can relax knowing your dog — and your home — are in good hands.
About: I have been around pets my whole life and they bring me so much joy. I am eager to work with any type and size of pet! I am dependable and will communicate efficiently with pet owners. I work a standard 40 hour work week 5 days a week but am able to come home on lunch breaks for walks, potty breaks, play time, etc! I do not have a pet at the moment, so all the love that I would provide for my own will be going towards your pets! My favorite place to be is outside so I would enjoy going on long walks or throwing a ball for your dog.
About: I grew up on a small farm with a huge variety of animals. I’ve always loved animals and have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I am familiar with animal behavior and understand how to keep your pet as well as others safe. I work full time in the evenings, but love to be outdoors and go for walks in the mornings. I’m also happy to take time during my break at work for pet care if needed. I’ll try to care for your pet the same as you! Whether this is adhering to their scheduled meal times, potty breaks, favorite toys and treats, I’m happy to care for your pet in a way that prioritizes their happiness and wellbeing. I understand how important pets are to a person or family and will absolutely put their safety first.
“Val was so prompt and reliable when picking Evie up from my workplace, and the two of them had a lovely walk! This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t recommend Val more. Evie clearly had a great time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Val again!”

Taylor does a fantastic job. He was available very last minute for me and always does a great job. He shows up on time and does exactly what is asked of him. Layka loves to go on her walks with him as well. Very reliable, I would highly recommend him for whatever your need may be:)

The average cost of Dog Walking in Blackwood is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Blackwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Blackwood after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blackwood. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
