“Finding a dog sitter who only watches small breeds can be tricky, so we’re incredibly grateful to have found Katie! She was communicative, caring, and always reassured us that our little guy was doing well. We’ll definitely be calling her our go-to sitter for future trips!”

“Gary was amazing! He took my boys on many walks and was great with active dogs. He truly takes the time to get to know each animal and it showed! It was wonderful knowing my boys were so well taken care of!”

“Tara was so accommodating when I reached out at the last minute to watch my dog. He loved being there-with the spacious fenced in backyard and lots of family time, it was a perfect situation for him. Tara sent lots of videos and photos during his stay so I knew he was having a great time. Would absolutely recommend Tara to someone looking for an alternative to a kennel.”

“Josephine was great! From drop off to pick up she allowed me to go out of town knowing my pup was in good hands! Will definitely book again and highly recommend you do the same!”


About: I love dogs and try to include them in everything I do, hikes, farm chores, etc. I’m studying to become a vet so I can’t commit to my own dog long term. However, I have been fostering puppies and caring for pets for years. I specialize in puppy care, potty training, commands and socializing. I am currently taking classes through Montana State. However I space out my schedule to have plenty of time to care for your pets. I don’t love when dogs are left inside for long periods of time and prioritize getting them out of the house for the majority of the day. I live on a 20 acre farm property where your pet will have plenty of room to roam. There is a pond on property if you pet loves swimming. There is a small portion of the property that is fenced, however due to having mules on the property, I will never leave your dog outside unattended. We have a super energetic friendly pup who always loves to play if your pet is up for it. I love hiking, running, walking and try to include the pups in all of that.
“Max returned quite relaxed and tired after a few days with Wendy; always a sign of good care. The flexibility with drop off and pickup times was appreciated and the periodic photos reassured us that all was well. When needing dog care in the Bozeman area I highly recommend using Wendy; we surely will when returning.”

“My baby boy seemed like he had a good time! I’m always nervous to leave him behind for days at a time but Cait kept me updated with pictures throughout the week which out my mind at ease! She’s very friendly and accommodating.”

“Margaret was great with Penny. Penny was pretty anxious when we left her, and Margaret helped her to feel comfortable and happy. She lives in a great spot with a fenced back yard where Penny could hang out and explore. We recommend Margaret and would definitely ask her to watch Penny again.”

“Appreciated Olivia’s kindness and willingness to look after our (somewhat anxious) senior Schnauzer (for just over a 10 day span) - and all the personalized TLC she gave him. He was in good hands - and we received a picture with a message each day to journal his time away from us. Very grateful that we found her! :) Thank you Olivia!”


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.
“I requested several nights within a week of needing a sitter and Patsy made everything very easy, from the meet and greet all the way to pick up. Leo had a great time! I would definitely use her again.”

“Claire took amazing care of my dog, I couldn’t have felt more comfortable or happy with how it went. Lots of outdoor activity, hiking, walking, swimming, other dogs to play with. I picked up a very happy dog. 10/10 recommend.”

“Sarah is awesome! Clearly she loves animals you can tell just by her effort she puts forth. Our little Gracie didn't want to leave and when we arrived at Sarah's house, Gracie was excited to see her which is unusual since she isn't around other people or dogs that often. We will absolutely be using Sarah again should we need a sitter and she is available! Sarah took us on a short three day notice not ever have kept Gracie, and that meant a lot to our family. We are thankful for her and all she did, especially sending pictures and videos showing Gracie having fun with her dogs!”

About: I’ve had my own dogs & cats all my life and love to love them! I’ve dog sat 7 dogs at one time and they were all such happy campers! I do not currently live with all of my pets! Puhi and Bass, my cats, live with me. I am currently a full-time student and work part time at a local restaurant. I do have lots of free time where I would love to take care of some dogs and cats to fill my time. I am very aware of my surroundings when I’m in charge of other peoples animals. I can crate them if needed and walk them as much as needed, etc.
“This was a very positive experience, she kept in great contact with us the whole time and made me feel very comfortable leaving my babies. Sent lots of picture of them playing in the yard with the ball. My babies are home now very happy and tired. Would definitely book 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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cowan
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Kathleen! She was absolutely amazing, and we never had a single worry about Brady while we were away. He is part of our family, so knowing he was in such loving, caring, and capable hands meant the world to us. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for and loved while we were not with him. We are very grateful for Kathleen and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their doggie!

Thankfully Tara accepted our request to watch out dog for two nights. There were so many other sitters that did not acknowledge our booking request. You can tell Tara is very good with animals. She sent plenty of pictures and took great care of her. Tara was great to work with as well.

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.
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 Cowan 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 Cowan 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 Cowan.
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 Cowan. 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 Cowan 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.
