“Whitney is the dog whisperer! Her home is ideal for leaving your dog… We left our 80 pound white Labrador retriever there and she came home exhausted and happy! We were camping in West glacier and needed a place to leave our dog so we could go hiking, and Whitney‘s place was perfectly located for the park entrance. She and her boyfriend Severin are amazing humans. Highly recommend her.!”
“Mykenzie has an amazing fenced in yard and home. My Bianca is advanced in her years and set in her ways, but was totally comfortable. She had the best time, and I also got some beautiful photos of her as a bonus. Thank you for taking great care of her Mykenzie.”
“My husband and I came to the area to visit Glacier National Park along our cross country roadtrip with our dog, Ozzie. Since dogs are not allowed on any of the trails in Glacier National Park, we looked to find someone to watch our dog for a day while we went hiking. Luckily we found Emily and her sweet family, who were willing to look after him on only a few days notice. They were SO kind and loving to Ozzie and we felt completely at ease having a day at the park knowing he was in great hands. He got to run around with other dogs and had a great time. He was a happy and tired pup at night. I wish we lived closer to Emily and her family so they could look after him again when we need help. :)”
“Kelly was fantastic in accommodating our early drop off time so we could get into Glacier National Park early to find parking. We were worried about leaving our rescue dog all day for the first time since we got him a few months ago, but Kelly was great to talk through everything with us. She's also very knowledgeable about pittie breeds like ours, so that was also reassuring. She took great care of King, and he was worn out from the hiking and river time by the time we picked him up, which was great since we were tired too and all went to bed early! Kelly has a great secured property for dogs to roam and explore. Would definitely recommend her to anyone else looking to leave their dogs with a responsible qualified dog sitter/boarder!”
“Morgan was great! She was easy to work with, and my dog came home happy, healthy, and tired. My dog loved that there were other dogs to play with during her stay. Would definitely book again next time I'm in the area!”
“Jazmine had a wonderful time with Genevieve and her family! Communication was clear and seamless throughout the entire stay, and both drop-off and pick-up were easy and convenient. We truly appreciated the excellent care Jazmine received and look forward to booking with Genevieve again.”
“Our dog stayed with Sophie for the day while we went to Glacier National Park. Everything worked out perfectly. Our dog was well taken care of in their home with a large fenced back yard. Our dog came back home happy and tired from a very fun day. We would certainly have her watch our dog anytime.”
“Visiting from out of town, it was great to find Kaylea to watch Brutus for the day. Great communication and setup a meet and greet the day before. After picking Brutus up, he had so much fun he was ready for bed once we got back to the hotel. Would highly recommend Kaylea for dog services in the Whitefish/Kalispell area.”
“Lisa is super sweet and I could tell right away that my dogs loved her. She was inviting from the moment we went to do a meet & greet. When we got there for the boarding, she made sure to ask questions & listen. During our time away I received daily updates & pictures of my happy boys! Well definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alaina was absolutely fantastic with our dog. She is so kind, sent photos and videos, and was an excellent communicator. We would 10/10 recommend Alaina and happily have her watch our dog again!”
“Riley was great with our lab George while we explored the area for the day! She was wonderful to be flexible last minute when we realized I booked the wrong day! Will use again!”
About: During the summer, I have pretty open flexibility! I am an educator and have the summers off to help with all of your pet care service needs! I am passionate about loving and caring for pets. As somebody who loves to travel, I know how stressful it can be to find a reliable sitter to watch your furbabies. I’ve taken care of dogs and pets for the last 15+ years. I grew up sitting, walking, and loving pets with care. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, as well as cats of all ages. I am comfortable administering meds and adhering to specific schedules and routines. Please contact me with any specific questions and I would be happy to accommodate accordingly. From June through the end of August, my daily schedule is flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. With my own dog, we get in at least 1-2 walks per day with longer walks on the weekends, and I would love to create a schedule with your dog for consistent exercise as well! A tired dog is a happy dog! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog of my own to help make your dog feel comfortable. I am able to crate your dog, if that is something you’re interested in.
“Sue watched our pups while we were at the music festival and we were so thrilled to have found her. Sue’s personality is so chill and positive and our dogs immediately recognized that. She has a fenced backyard that is doggie heaven and a huge shade tree for the pups to nap in. She was flexible with our pick up and drop off times, even when we picked them up super late at night. Knowing our dogs were safe and taken care of was worth every penny. It’s hard to find a sitter in whitefish, let alone one that is so close to downtown. Thank you Sue for all you did for us while we were in town!”
“First time leaving Luna with someone on rover, definitely recommend and trust. Super responsive to my text, very helpful last minute. She was able to accommodate picking up my baby early for me to enjoy my day. Received reports when I was away. Definitely trust this app because she made it very smooth. Thank you”
“Tiffany is a wonderful dog sitter. We used her doggy day care service while heading up to Glacier National Park for the day. She was flexible, super responsive, sent tons of photos and definitely set my mind at ease with her frequent communication. My dog can be a handful at times and doesn't get along with every dog, but her lab Henry is super sweet and friendly and they got along just fine. I recommend her to others for sure and would gladly have her watch Penny again.”
About: Growing up, I have always had dogs as pets ranging from big to small. My family even bred gold retrievers for many years. I will love and take care of your pets like if they are my own. I am a stay at home mom who has plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! My schedule is open and super flexible to take care of your pets needs. I am able to take your dog for runs or walks for your senior dog. If you are teaching your puppy basic commands I can assist.
“Working with Sarah was a pleasure. She was responsive to arrangements and questions. Sarah arrived on time and immediately our dogs both loved her. They were well cared for while we were away from our campsite on a whitewater rafting trip. If you need someone to look after your pups while you hike or raft in Glacier then she’s the person you should choose!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Falls
We could not have picked nicer people to care for our dog, Daisy on our visit to Glacier National Park. It was very convenient and about 20 minutes to the park. Emily and her family were so caring and loving to our pet. We had 100% confidence while Daisy was there to be safe and well cared for. Many thanks for a great day at your home for our pup!!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Columbia Falls commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 69 sitters in Columbia Falls, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
