“Even before our booking, Savannah was thorough and showed her care for our pets. She asked great questions and was sure to understand our pets needs. During our time away, she was communicative and put us at ease!”
About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life. I have experience taking care of animals with special needs, including those with medications, partial paralysis, hyperactive tendencies, senior animals and babies, both dogs and cats. Safety is a priority for me - I will always triple check harnesses and leashes and make sure that gates and doors are properly latched and locked. Your pet will always be treated with kindness and respect, and, with your permission, I will also offer extra treats to spoil your furry family member when I check in on them or take them for walks. I will often have weekend availability but sometimes weekday mornings as well (namely, Tuesday and Thursday mornings). Fridays I will be available on a rotating basis. I will carefully follow all client instructions to ensure that their pets are safe, healthy, and properly cared for. Animals will always be treated with kindness and respect, and they will receive lots and lots of pets when under my care. For dog-walking services, I routinely re-check leash attachment and recommend puppy parents use harnesses to reduce choking possibilities from pulling against collars. I encourage play and snuggles (though there may be more of one than another depending on the temperament of each pet).
About: I’ve lived with a plethora of different dogs for longer than I can remember, and have nearly decade-long experience as a former dog owner myself. I’m familiar with small and large dogs alike, have put up with many mean dogs in the past, and I have the general know-how to care for older dogs and sick dogs. While I am a newcomer to Rover, I intend to serve my client’s and their dog’s needs with the utmost care and attention, and any dog I’m to watch over will receive as many walks and games as they so please. I’m currently serving as a volunteer for Heart of the Valley, and while I’m usually working 2-4 hours every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, that schedule is incredibly flexible and can be adjusted any which way in order to tend to a dog’s needs as long as bookings are made a day or two ahead of time. I have a very spacious yard, however it is not fenced. Dog’s can easily be leashed for potty breaks if necessary. Indoors, dogs can freely roam the house, but not without someone always keeping an eye on them, and they’ll be fed either twice a day or per the client’s request. In between they’ll receive all the attention and playtime they want, as well as at least one walk a day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, etc... since I was very little. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am a graduate nursing student at MSU looking for some extra side gigs! I adore all kinds of animals. I am always happy to go let your pet out or take them for mid-day walks, or watch them overnight for weekends away - just reach out to ask about availability! I love walking, running, and hiking around local trails, adore trips to dog parks, and general play time. I absolutely adore all animals - especially dogs and cats!
About: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! Living in the same neighborhood during my childhood, I was the go-to pet sitter on the street. I love creating a safe and loving space for animals, and ensuring you enjoy your time away knowing your pet is taken care of! I’m currently working at a coffee shop, the shop closes at 2, leaving my afternoon and nights open to spending time with your furry family members! I live in town, nice and close to most places. I have my transportation and reliability ready to go to provide trustworthy, consistent, and safe care for your family.
“We had a great experience with Avery! She was very communicative, was great with our cats and did a good job giving one of our cats medication. She took care of my brother’s cats at the same time and we were talking about how great Avery is while enjoying our vacation. Would definitely book again!”
“We recently got a puppy to go along with our older dog and Nicolas handled both with ease! He communicated well and the dogs were worn out and happy. He’s my first call to help with dogs.”
“Ave was great! She took on a very last minute request and was very kind and followed all of my instructions. After my dog got into the flowers in my vase, she went above and beyond by cleaning up his mess which was not expected of her. 10/10 ☀️”
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.

“Keely was great! She came by to meet the boys prior to our vacation and checked in regularly letting us know how they were doing. She was kind and attentive and took all our notes in stride. We would definitely recommend!”
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. Some Tuesdays and Thursday’s I’ll be open 8-12, depending on my lab for school! 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: Whether your dog is feeling a familiar neighborhood treat loop, a downtown stroll, a mountain trail run, a game of fetch at the dog park, or a quiet night at home, I meet them exactly where they are. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. This semester I start my day at 6:30am with morning walks and then head to classes Monday through Thursday 9:30am-1:30pm. I can be back within 5 hours for walks, meals, and plenty of attention for the afternoon. I love getting dogs out for adventures when it fits their personality, whether that's a solo walk, a trail, running errands with me, or joining a group walk with dogs they're comfortable around. I live in a quiet apartment with three fish, so your dog gets my full attention in a calm environment. They will have access to my main living space and can join me out on the balcony. One of my favorite ways to relax is hanging out on the balcony together, soaking up the sunshine. ☀️ Because I live in an apartment, dogs with excessive barking aren't the best fit for boarding or daycare.
“Tylee was fantastic and flexible with our pups while we were away. Everything was always about their best interest and she made sure to keep us updated with photos. Would highly recommend to anyone and hopefully she gets to watch our pups again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
