“This was our first experience using Rover, and Haley was absolutely amazing! She kept in great communication throughout, sending us plenty of photos to reassure us that everything was going well. She even left thoughtful notes about how our dogs did. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone we can truly trust to care for our fur babies while we’re away. We’ll definitely be booking with Haley again in the future!”

“Kayln was incredible! She is so trustworthy and treats your pets like they are her own. I have two cats that are pretty picky and needy. With no trouble at all she took incredible care of them. Would recommend to anyone that wants to go on vacation and not have to worry about anything!”


About: I have a 2-year-old Mini Aussie named Meeko, whom I’ve raised since he was 9 weeks old, giving me strong hands-on experience with puppy care. I’ve completed training classes and cared for Meeko full time. In addition, I provided a loving home for a senior dog with special needs for several years until she passed away in 2024. I’m confident in my ability to keep puppies and dogs of all ages safe and well cared for, and I also have experience caring for both children and the elderly. I’m currently a senior in high school and plan on going into medical assistant here soon. In the evenings, I enjoy pet sitting and being outside! I have a mini Aussie who loves to play with friends and go for walks. I can assure the safety of your animals when in my care. I have taken training classes and after raising a puppy, I feel confident in my ability to ensure they get adequate nutrition, exercise, and love.
About: New Rover clients can enjoy $40 off their first booking using this link!: https://www.rover.com/sit/haleyg46019 Hi! My name is Haley, I am currently pet sitting and dog walking full time. I have been a trusted and reliable sitter since 2018 but my love for dogs began as a child with our first family dog, Nellie, a beagle. I fostered dogs for a time and in 2024 adopted a border collie mix named Patty! I have loved many kitties in my day as well! I also have limited experience with horses & mules but am very comfortable around them. I promise to provide your furry friend with the best love and care that I am capable of. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions, or express any concerns you have! Thanks and I hope to be walking, petting, and feeding your animal(s) soon! I am currently sitting full time! I can spend all day with your animals who may need extra potty breaks or have separation anxiety. I do have a dog of my own who I made need to walk mid day, or let out for a potty break. My home is a home for dogs! We have a fully fenced in yard, toys for everyone to play with, treats, water bowls. Etc. I live right off of the bitterroot path and a mile from the Rail link dog park! I approach my dog watching with patience and love. I have a semi active border collie mix. We go on minimum one hour walks everyday with playtime in the yard. He’s gotten along with every dog he’s met but I require a proper introduction when introducing him to new pups.
“Kayla was awesome! We felt comfortable while we were away and did not have to worry about our babies. She followed instructions exactly and messaged when she was uncertain. Our animals adored her and it was obvious with how they interacted and what we saw through photos. Will definitely be hiring again!”


About: - Worked at a dog boarding and daycare center for 1 year! - Have owned and taken care of various pets my whole life - Currently a mom to two black cats🖤 - Pet sat for family friends multiple times whenever needed, including staying at their homes for multiple nights I am currently a student at the University of Montana and graduating in December. My schedule only consists of 2 classes on MWF from 10-11:50. I have an internship on T/Th that I go to from 10-2, but is very flexible. Otherwise the only time I am out of the house during the week is to go to the gym! I will gladly stay the night with any pets! I love to play and interact with fur babies. Walking is a favorite hobby of mine, especially with a furry friends by my side! I am very attentive to any schedule or special requirements needed for your babies. <3
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in their homes for many years taking care of young to senior animals needing medicine. Having a fur baby of my own I understand how anxiety inducing it can be when their parents are out of town. I am gentle and attentive to fur friends as a guest in their home, while also respecting their varying social needs. My goal is to keep your loved one’s routine as close as possible to normal while their humans are away. I am self-employed and have a flexible work schedule. I am available to work with pet routines throughout the day, and can accommodate overnight stays if needed. Depending on your fur baby’s needs, I can come visit for meal time, walks, or if they need medication. I can also spend more general time in their home with them if they have more social needs.

About: Animals make life better! I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 8-years-old, walking neighborhood dogs and checking in on cats. During the pandemic, I volunteered at an animal shelter in Indiana. I ran miles with active dogs, provided enrichment through puzzle feeders, and even created videos about adoptable pets that ended up on the local news (and helped them get adopted!). Most recently, I’ve worked with an animal shelter in Missoula, helping them build up their social media and outreach. I have experience with kittens, puppies, rabbits, chickens, senior pets and dogs that are dog-aggressive or anti-social. I strive to provide the best pet care because they’re our family members and we want them in the best care while we’re away. I’m a strong communicator and always send text updates and photos! I’m a graduate student a the University of Montana. My days are flexible. I can feed/check-in during the morning, evening, or both depending on how much you need me. The animals safety is always top priority. I make sure to give your pet attention if they want it, give them treats, give them fresh water and for cats—scooping their box each visit. I always make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave or close the door. I want to make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their family is away!
About: I feel very comfortable in all areas of pet care. From working as a tech I am proficient in assessing pet needs, administering medications and overall I love seeing pets feeling good! I work part time ski instructing and part time slinging coffees, leaving 3 days a week for me to care for my local pets! I miss having a dog or cat of my own and working with Rover is a great way of remedying that! I have a fully fenced in yard, live in the Rattlesnake with great creek walks all around! I don’t mind staying in others’ home, I look forward to meeting your pet where they are most comfortable!

“Holly is absolutely amazing! You can really tell she has exceptional attention to detail and love for animals. My three dogs were very well cared for and I definitely recommend Holly to anyone looking for a high quality sitter.”

“Meghan was fantastic watching our two cats while we were away for a week. She communicated well throughout the entire stay, and we came home to two very happy boys. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks, Meghan!”

About: I have worked with dogs, cats, ducks, guinea pigs, hamsters, and the occasional turtle. I love animals and am a very attentive sitter. I follow schedules to the tea. Pets are just like kids so I always like to make sure they’re taken care of! My favorite thing to do is dog walks. Not only is a walk a day great for keeping the vet away but it also is great exercise for the hooman. The biggest dog I have walked and cared for is a husky and the smallest dog was a chihuahua. I have experience in house sitting and pet care through family and friends and dog owners like you who request my assistance while you relax on vacation. I have cared for their pets for about 6 years now. I also have experience bathing, feeding, walking and play time! P.s. I will provide you with photos of your pet during each visit with owner and fur friend permission. I try to update my schedule as best as I can to keep up with availability accuracy. On my days off, I can care for our furry friends morning, afternoon and evening. Whatever meets your needs! On days that I have a more packed schedule, I still find the time to be as flexible as can be. I follow every instruction given. The more details the better so I can ensure your furry friend feels safe and in comfortable environment. I often find routine and familiarity to be the best ways to provide this so I do my best to ensure I follow every request. I will send you pictures of your furry friend while you are at work or away to hopefully relieve some stress and know they are being taken care of.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and my love for animals has not diminished as I’ve grown up. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and tiny puppies alike, and family has always relied on me to care for their animals. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have lots of time to help out! My schedule is generally open and can be modified to accommodate needs. While I don’t offer in-home boarding because I live in an apartment, I will travel to wherever you are and can either stay there if needed or drop in frequently. Whatever works for you!

About: Born and raised among the pack lol I’ve had critters ever since I can remember. We’ve always had dogs-multiple at a time-as well as cats and horses. I’ve given shots, administered meds, clipped claws, cleaned litter boxes, dog kennels, stalls and everything in between. I absolutely adore critters, so you can put your mind to rest knowing your fur babies will be treated as if they were my own. I own my own business so my hours are very flexible and I can move them accordingly! I can be around your critters 100% of the time, giving around the clock love, scratches, and adventure. I have a fenced kennel with access to go inside the garage and get out of the elements, as well as a adventurous spirit to go run or walk on the trails, throw a ball, or just give lots of cuddles and love. Really it’s all dependent on what each individual fur baby needs.
About: Ive been around animals my whole life and while I don't have a furry friend of my own, I some how became the go to sitter for a lot of my friends and co workers. It is my favorite way to earn extra money and snuggle with some furry friends. I do work 8-5ish during Monday through Friday, but usually able to run home on breaks for locations near the heart of Missoula . My weekends are pretty open and I can spend most of the day hanging out with pets while I do some some homework. I can provide for both low and high energy dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in De Smet is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $23 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 396 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across De Smet. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
