About: Hi, I'm Alyssa! Dogs and cats have been part of my life for decades, and caring for them is my passion. I've pet sat for all kinds of personalities, from playful pups to cuddly cats, and I treat every pet like my own. Expect walks, snuggles, playtime, and regular updates so you can travel worry-free. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I'm currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible and I'm home for much of the day. That means I can stick to your pet's normal feeding, walk, and play schedule, give them plenty of attention, and be available for last-minute or extended stays. Your pet won't be left alone for long stretches with me. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with their own bed, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of attention. I follow your pet's feeding, medication, and bedtime routines so they stay comfortable and feel at ease. In your home, I keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible, with feedings, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles on their usual schedule. I also bring in mail, tidy up after your pet, and send you photo and text updates throughout the stay.

“Skylar took care of my two kitties for a weekend and was incredibly attentive, left detailed report cards on them, and took time to get them out of their shells since they can both be a bit shy! One of my boys, who hides any time other people come over, even came out to say hi to him a couple of times and he got him to play! I highly recommend Skylar.”

“The peace of mind Amanda brought to our whole family during an overseas trip cannot be overstated. We have a special needs kitty and we came home to a happy, energetic cat that never seemed to skip a beat. She routinely sent us photos and notes on her visit. She left our house clean and organized… easing the return. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone and we will surely lock in with her during our next holiday!!! So very thankful for her caring spirit….”

“Melinda was very easy and pleasant to work with from start to finish. We felt very comfortable having our dog in her care which made for a stress-free vacation for us. We could tell from the pictures Melinda took that our girl was happy and and from the notes that she was well cared for. Would happily hire Melinda again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages- as well as puppies. I grew up in a household that bred border collies so I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs and puppies! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to assist in whatever need you have for your fur baby/babies! I have a 5 year old daughter but she goes to school during the day! I follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. That includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s routine consistent. My priority is always safety, comfort, and lots of love.

About: Getting back to business as my daughter is a freshman in college. Now located in Great Falls. Extensive personal experience with senior dogs, both my own and other’s pets. I now have two senior horses (off-site) and another blue Aussie cattle dog rescue, Bluey. * Lots of one-on-one time as I do not work 9-5 weekdays or weekends * Ample floor time to include hugs, rubs, wrestling, massage, comfort as needed! Red light therapy for inflammation and magnetic wave therapy available for nominal additional fee * Proceeds support my two older horses! I am available most weekdays, usually after 9 (regular client at 8:30) through 5-6pm. I typically spend 30-40 minutes ($30) with your dog, whether it’s walking, playing, throwing a ball, massage, PT for post-ops, whatever she/he enjoys. I can also spend an hour ($50) doing the same types of activities. I have a no phone policy when I’m with my clients (unless it’s to take a pic!). I am also comfortable administering medication and injections and have experience doing so. I am also comfortable with senior dogs who might need to go out more often and/or might need a sling to go up and down steps to go outside. I have always loved animals (horses, dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, skunks, birds, even worms) and enjoy establishing trust and joy once they get to know me!

About: Hello! I’m Catalina. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I love creating a mix of adventure and comfort for them, whether it’s a hike, a long walk, or a relaxing movie night afterwards. My building has a great dog park with lots of toys, so pups get plenty of space and stimulation. I’m available on weekends and always make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. Your baby will get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles with me! IG: happ_ypawspetsitting I have availability in the afternoons and weekends. During the weekend I can spend the whole day with them and also at night or dog care. I don’t have dogs or cats in my home , so it will be easy if someone needs me to stay at my place with their dog/cat.

Whether it's a midday stroll, some playtime at the dog park, or simply cuddling up on the couch, my pet's well-being is always a top priority. In the evenings, we wind down together, enjoying quality time and relaxation. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are paramount when caring for pets, especially in the unique setting of an apartment.

About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s personality! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and cats to K9s and a 17-year-old dog who needed multiple medications and strict schedule. I also have 5 pets of my own (2 dogs and 3 cats), so I’m used to lots of love, different routines, and pets with all kinds of needs! Fun fact, I volunteer for rescue in puerto rico flying animals back to the states when I travel there. I’m currently in college, so my availability depends on my class schedule during the semester. However, when I’m home on school breaks, I’m completely available and would love to spend my time caring for pets! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own home. I’m respectful of your space, careful with instructions, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I can stop by after work or stay overnight during the week. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school and love spending time with them! I love having conversations with them and learning their personalities :( I currently work a full time job and I am only available on weekends. My weekends are typically completely free so my schedule is very flexible and I can be an early riser or a night owl! I am used to having to give space when they are anxious or being high energy to match their excitement. I always approach them with a soft tone to know that they are safe and I love giving treats to win their hearts over!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes (experience having dogs less than 2 lbs in my care!) , and personalities — but I have an especially soft spot for puppies! I’ve fostered many puppies over the years, including caring for 6-week-old puppies on my own and fostering a mom with her litter of seven 3-week-old puppies for an entire month. I’ve cared for puppies as tiny as 2 lbs, so I’m very comfortable with the extra attention, patience, frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, and supervision that little ones need. I also grew up with multiple Pomeranians and Golden Retrievers, so my experience ranges from tiny toy breeds to big, energetic dogs. Between my own dogs and fostering, I’m very used to different personalities, routines, energy levels, and care needs. One of the biggest perks of staying with us is that either my husband or I am home throughout the day, so your dog will get lots of attention and companionship. It’s very rare that a dog in our care would be left alone — typically no more than an hour or two, maybe once a week. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I want them to feel as comfortable, loved, and spoiled here as they would at home. I’m also a huge picture person, so you can expect lots of photos and updates throughout the day — you’ll never have to wonder what your pup is up to! I’m more than happy to follow their normal routine and make their stay feel as much like home as possible. Whether you have a tiny puppy who needs constant supervision, an energetic dog who wants to play, or a professional couch cuddler, I’d love to have them! 🐾 Either my husband or I am home throughout the day, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. It’s very rare that a dog in our care would be left alone — typically only for an hour or two, maybe once a week. This also makes our home especially great for puppies who need more frequent potty breaks, meals, and supervision! I treat every dog in my care like they’re my own and will always follow your normal routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, crate routine, and any specific instructions you provide. I have extensive foster experience, including very young and tiny puppies, so I’m comfortable with dogs who need extra supervision and attention. Your pup will have lots of love and company, and I’ll send you tons of pictures and updates throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing!

Joy took excellent care of our aging dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Most importantly, when a last-minute emergency came up on our end, Joy went out of her way to help us, making significant changes to her plans for the day to make sure Maya was cared for. We are so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Joy was the best!

We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter for our two kids (one 8 years old and one 16+ years)! Not only did Yvette take excellent care of our dogs, but she also went above and beyond to ensure we were kept updated on their well-being throughout our time away. Her thoughtful updates and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease. In addition to caring for our pets, Yvette also looked after our home, keeping everything tidy and secure so we could travel without any worries. It's rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own, cares for your house, and exceeds every expectation. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated dog sitter!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Great Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Great Falls on Rover is $39 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $45 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 15,838 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Great Falls. 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.

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 Great Falls 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!

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 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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Great Falls with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Great Falls. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
