“Quinn was an amazing sitter for our kitty Murphy! From the very beginning, they were quick to respond, incredibly receptive, and made us feel completely at ease. It was clear that Quinn truly cares for animals—they were respectful of our home and kept everything clean. When we returned, Murphy was so happy and relaxed, which made us feel confident that they were in great hands the whole time. We really appreciated Quinn’s trustworthiness and the peace of mind they gave us while we were away. We can’t wait to have them back next time we travel!”
“Traci did a fantastic job house sitting for us and had great communication. She provided daily photos and was very accommodating for our dog. Would definitely recommend!”
“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!!”
“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!!!”
“Rosie was wonderful! She arrived right on time and my dogs loved her immediately. She was extremely accommodating of last minute change. She was kind, professional and clearly has experience with pet care.”
“Linda was great! Typically when I return from being away, Jax has severe separation anxiety but his demeanor was completely different when I returned. He was happy to see me but I could tell he was well loved while I was gone. That is the most important aspect I look for when using a care giver. My bonus was the house was spotless. I will be using Linda as often as I can get her.”
“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!!!”
“Logan was outstanding! Our dog got to go on lots of adventures and was very active. Her communication was top notch! She was very respectful to our home as well. We hope to book her for all of our future trips!”
“I appreciated that Hallie traveled from Big Sky to Bozeman everyday to take care of my pets and home. My pets were happy and healthy when we returned. My house was left neat and clean. Hallie is a reliable sitter.”
“My very timid dog had an enjoyable evening with her first time with Maisie. Maisie has a calm and pleasant way that made my dog comfortable in her presence. I hope Maisie will be available to spend more time with my dog in the future.”
“Rachel was a fantastic house and pet sitter for our crew of five fur kiddos (plus house plants). We left our senior dog, senior cat, and three younger cats in her care at our house for a week, and she kept everyone on their (borderline annoying) schedules and routines, including daily dog walks and medication administration. Rachel was highly responsive, openly communicative, and active in sharing updates and daily photos of our pets. I'm also fairly sure that our house was cleaner when we returned than when we left...! We will continue to request Rachel as our house sitter for as long as she will let us :)”
“I couldn't recommend Haley highly enough. It's hard to find people you trust and can rely on - and with Haley you get both. (Plus daily photos and great communication.) She's one of the only people we will have watch our dogs. We appreciate you!”
“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.”
“Cam is phenomenal! My dog absolutely loved him and I could tell he took great care of her. She even started whining when he left! The house was clean when I returned and everything was in good shape. Cam even communicated some odd behavior he witnessed in my dog. Overall we had a great experience and would strongly recommend Cam to others!”
“Chloe was awesome with my temperamental cat who is older and not the easiest to get along with. She was extremely flexible and communicative from the first time I messaged her and even went out of her way to return my extra key before the stay when I realized I briefly needed it back. Left my place very clean and my cat relaxed and comfortable during a heat wave. I would recommend her if you also have a cat who needs a lot of patience and personal space.”
About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, I have even helped rescue a few dogs! I have experience in dog and house sitting. I am working part time currently so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I am trying to get 10k steps everyday so being able to walk dogs will make it 100x more enjoyable. I make sure dogs are comfortable with my presence and are able to relax as if they were with their owners still. I make sure to follow instructions that are provided for the best experience possible.
“Liza took wonderful care of our dog. She was on time, easy to communicate with and sent photos every day. She asked good questions during our meet and greet and followed through with all the instructions beautifully. She left the house in perfect shape after staying over. I would highly recommend Liza!”

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!
Sophia was great! She took wonderful care of our two dogs and one cat. She also stayed in our home which we loved. She took good care of our home and watered my many plants! When the dogs ran out of their meat and wet food she offered to get more at pet store. Going above what we expected! Also we needed an extra night for her to watch the animals she agreed without hesitation! Definitely would recommend her! Oh, and she sent us pictures everyday! Thank you very much Sophia!!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 290 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.
