“April was fantastic! Our cat was so happy to have her stay at our house. Her communication was great and I loved the photo updates. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. It was clear she spent som real time with our kitty and we are so grateful!”
“Georgina is a fantastic dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua. He warmed up quickly to Georgina and she sent me lots of photos and updates, which I appreciated! I could tell he was well taken care of while we were gone! She also kept the house clean and went above and beyond and washed the sheets at the end of her stay. I will definitely book Georgina again in the future!!”
“Corbin was awesome! Incredibly communicative and on top of things. He was so good about asking questions and checking in, and making sure Maisie was well taken care of. Maisie had a great time with him.”
“Lynda was the most accommodating and considerate house sitter. She met with us several times prior to our departure and became familiar with both our dogs. My pups were well cared for and we got daily updates with pictures. The added bonus was I returned to an immaculate clean house - I highly recommend Lynda as a reliable and loving friend to your pets when you are out of town.”
“Hope stayed at my house for 10 nights to watch my golden Flynn. She did an incredible job! Constant updates, pictures, and daily exercise! I’ll definitely be using Hope again in the future.”
“My dog had to have a limb amputated due to a cancer diagnosis. I stayed with her for 4 days but didn't feel good about leaving her to go back to work. Shaelyn did not hesitate when I asked her to stay with Zoey during the day. She was excellent at monitoring her, giving her medications, and getting her out for breaks. She is just awesome!!!”
“Bryan was fantastic! He took great care of our little girl, and she and his dog Ron truly bonded and had great fun doing various outdoor adventures! We would highly recommend Bryan for any of your pet sitting needs!”
About: My dad was a veterinarian, so I grew up with animals and am well acquainted. I know how to best take care of your pet and am prepared to handle any situation. I’m trying to earn money for college in the fall, so I’m free almost anytime and am pretty flexible. I’m usually free in the mornings My home is spacious, clean, and has a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs happy to play with your pet. I give my pets the best care possible!
“Lizzie was so amazing! Our younger dog gets really excited and dogs jump on new people (he is in classes for that). She was so sweet and patient with him. Throughout her whole stay with the dogs she sent multiple photos, checked in with us regularly, and was always very attentive with the dogs. Dogs were fed on time (following all the details we left behind), they went on long walks and never had an issue. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Maisie is super sweet and took great care of our pups this week. She left the house spotless too! I appreciated her communication and all the pictures she shared. Have already rebooked!”
“Haley was an absolutely wonderful housesitter! She took exceptional care of all my animals and was incredibly attentive to every detail. She was confident with the horses and patient and respectful with my stand-offish Livestock Guardian Dog, who couldn’t help but warm up to her. I think Haley and my cat are friends for life now:) I felt completely comfortable knowing my animals and home were in such good hands. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her.”
“Chloe took great care of my cat! When I returned home from out of town, my girl seemed totally happy. I get anxious being apart from my cat, but Chloe communicated well and made me feel completely at ease being away from her.”
About: My name is Sarah, I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I have many years of dog walking and pet sitting experience but am new to this platform. When I am caring for pets I enjoy being active, as long as the dog is able and going for walks, hikes, or runs. My previous clients, whether previous co-workers or my clients through Wag have appreciated the care that I have provided for their pets in the past. If your pet is high energy, I will run around the hills with them until they are worn out, if your pet prefers staying indoors, I will gladly lie around with them, giving them tons of attention. Whatever your pet's particular personality calls for, I will gladly accommodate!
“Delaney was so wonderful with our dogs! We had never left them for a full week, so I was nervous about this. She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates. I could tell our dogs were comfortable and happy through the pictures and videos she would send. She stayed in our apartment and also left it spotless. I would highly recommend booking Delaney next time you need a dog sitter!!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved being around animals. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether it's going for walks, playing outside, feeding, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and always provide dependable, loving care. I’m currently a college student and work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule and make sure to set aside plenty of time for the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week depending on my class and work schedule. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to giving every pet lots of attention, exercise, and love while keeping owners updated with messages and photos. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I'll always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and exercise routines. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior to make sure they stay safe, comfortable, and happy. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home until you return.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and all since I was young. There has always been a dog or cat in my home and I understand the importance these little critters have in our lives! I am ready to accommodate to whatever you and your pet may need! As a college student, my schedule may be busy but is also extremely adjustable! From house sitting with your pet to drop in visits, your pet will receive the care they deserve and the kind that will put your mind at peace! I believe in my three E's of caretaking. Eat: Whatever the situation or meal plan, animals should be taken care of on time and properly! If your pet has any accommodations such as medication, specific eating times or dietary restrictions let me know and I will ensure they are happy and full! Engage: Whether its nap time or running around, your pet deserves an engaged environment where they feel happy and looked after! This means whatever kind of attention your pet prefers, I also prefer! Easy: This process should be easy for not just your pet, but also you. If there is anything I can do for either you or your pet, please let me know!
About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I have extensive knowledge of animal health care and am prepared to administer medication and treat minor wounds. I have also worked as a professional dog hiker. In this role I walked up to 8 dogs of various sizes in the mountains near Victoria, BC, Canada. Through this role, I gained extensive experience as an obedience trainer. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes, as well as cats, birds and reptiles. I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was the owner of an adorable labradoodle named Max, who passed away in 2020. Since then, I have been a reliable dog and cat sitter for many friends, family and neighbors. I am currently a graduate student in the Environmental Philosophy program at the University of Montana. I only have 13 hours of class a week, which gives me plenty of free time to stay at home with your animals and go on many walks. I do not have class Friday-Sunday and am available for full-time care on these days as well as all evenings. I am also able to leave campus in between classes for walks. As I am not permitted to have animals at my current home, I am extremely eager to house-sit or drop in to your home to care for your pets. As a former veterinary receptionist, I can ensure a safe environment for you pets and am prepared to care for them in the case of a medical emergency. As a former professional dog walker, I am also eager to drive to your home to pick up your dog for a big mountain hike or a simple walk around the neighborhood.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Missoula
Brandy was wonderful! She was very responsive, asked good questions, and provided cute pictures of our dog, Cooper. Brandy stayed at our house for five nights and left it very clean. I knew when I met her that she would take great care of our dog. It gave me confidence, which helped me enjoy our time away even more. I will definitely book with Brandy again!
Alaina is the best sitter we've ever had! The dogs absolutely loved her, she was communicative, left the house clean, and clearly took care of our pups with a lot of love. Our pups didn't seem anxious at all after returning from a week away from them, which is a testament to how well they were cared for. Thanks so much, Alaina!!
Laila was awesome with my dogs who tend to be fearful of strangers. She definitely is a person that my dogs and I trust! She took special care to administer my pets medication with care, was an excellent communicator, and sent lots of photos of my pups! She stayed at my home for 3 nights and left it super tidy!
Michelle was so great house sitting our pets! It’s always awkward inviting a new stranger into your home while you’re away, but she was extremely warm and trustworthy. She called the day before the booking to check in, sent tons of pictures, and respected all of the pets’ routines. And we even came home to a very clean and tidy home! We will definitely rebook with Michelle.
Noah has watched our pups twice now. He has been great to work with. He is very communicative, sends lots of photos and updates. He is fun and even our shy pup has warmed up to him. Noah responds well to feedback. He is trustworthy and reliable. I would recommend Noah to anybody looking for a good pet sitter.
Ceder took great care of Chevron while I was away. She sent me updates and photos throughout the week and left my house in great shape! She worked around Chevron's quirks and needs and made sure she got exercise every day. It's such a relief to know my girl is being cared for lovingly while I'm away!
Tess and her husband took care of my 2 very low maintenance corgis for a week. That required letting them out in the fenced in yard and feeding them daily. They didn’t clean up dog poop after the dogs. There were payment questions that came up after the agreement had been signed. Their rate has now been massively increased. The dogs were happy when I got home. Tess vacuumed the house on their last day. I have no major complaints. Most days they left at 0400 or 0500 and came to let them out early afternoon and evening.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Missoula
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Missoula on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 306 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Missoula. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Missoula walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Missoula maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Missoula choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Missoula. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
