About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, when my Sheltie, Brownie, became my best friend from middle school all the way through college and beyond. That bond taught me just how much pets mean to a family, and I’ve carried that with me ever since, pet sitting for friends’ animals over the years and always looking forward to meeting a new dog. I bring the same warmth, patience, and care I’d want for Brownie to every pet I look after, so you can feel confident your best friend is in good hands. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I’m happy to schedule walks during regular daytime hours, and I also offer in-home dog sitting so your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own familiar environment while you’re away. For walks, I make sure to check in on arrival so your pet feels comfortable with me before we head out, and I always pay close attention to pace, water breaks, and weather so the walk suits their energy level and needs. For in-home dog sitting at your place, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible, sticking to their usual feeding times, walk schedule, and any specific instructions you leave me. I like to spend extra time playing and cuddling so pets feel relaxed rather than anxious about being away from you, and I always do a walkthrough of the space to know where food, leashes, and any medications are kept before you leave. Throughout any visit, I send photo and text updates so you can see how your pet is doing, and I treat their home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: Hi there, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Caring for dogs is truly a joy for me, and when your fur baby stays with us, they become part of the family for a little while: loved, spoiled, and well looked after. I work from home, so your pup will have company all day long. My teen and preteen are big dog lovers too, so there’s always someone around for play, belly rubs, and cuddles. Your dog will feel right at home. I love giving each dog my full attention, so I usually host just one at a time. Every now and then I may have 2–3 furry guests, and I’ll always let you know ahead of time. While you’re away, I’ll keep you in the loop with updates throughout the day and lots of photos and videos. You’ll never have to wonder how your baby is doing! A Few Friendly House Rules Our home is a cozy, clean space for my family and every dog who visits. To keep it that way, I kindly ask that your pup arrives: Clean and flea-free With nails trimmed, to keep our wood floors happy Tell Me All About Your Pup! Every dog is unique, and the more I know, the better I can care for yours. Please let me know if your dog: is reactive or aggressive toward other dogs loves (or doesn’t love) dog parks pulls on the leash feels anxious when left alone has any food allergies Thank you so much for understanding. These little rules help every dog have a safe, happy, and fun stay. Let’s Stay Connected Please download the Rover app before your booking. It’s the easiest way for us to chat in real time, and you can call me through the app anytime, whether you’re just down the street or on the other side of the world. I can’t wait to meet you and your sweet pup! 🐾 I work from home, so your pup has company all day long! My schedule is flexible, so I can take them out whenever they need a potty break or a walk. I also send updates several times a day, with lots of photos and videos, so you’ll always know how your fur baby is doing. 🤗 Your dog’s safety always comes first. Potty breaks and walks are always supervised and on leash. When there’s more than one dog, I introduce them slowly, watch how they get along, and give everyone space to settle in and get to know us. I usually host one dog at a time, and if I ever have 2–3, I’ll let every owner know ahead of time. Our home is clean and cozy, with wood floors, and my teen and preteen love dogs too. To keep it that way, I kindly ask that every guest arrives clean, flea-free, and with nails trimmed.

“Laryssa was amazing! We had a last minute change to our care in that one of our cats needed medication. Without hesitation she had no problem giving it to our cat. We also had an issue with one of our cats feeders. Laryssa had a solution that completely worked and took care of the situation easily. I have never felt so at ease leaving my cats with someone. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and for families in the area. I genuinely love working with dogs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most at home. I am retired and have plenty of free time to give your pet the love it deserves. I love the company of a furry friend. I’d be happy to host your furry pet or come to you, whichever works best. I match whatever the pet needs, whether that’s a calm presence or energetic friend.

That being said I would absolutely book Xiaoyi without any hesitation or reservation. If you like someone who is very attentive communicative and very caring, please look no further. While I was away on my trip, she kept me informed with pictures and text messages on my dogs experience. I look forward to working with her in the future! 10 out of 10 experience!!!”

About: I have owned 5 small dogs in the past 20yrs and have taken cared of different kinds of dogs as well. I have experience with puppies and seniors, big and small dogs, administering medication. I currently have 3 little dogs - an intact Frenchie and a pair of Chihuahua-JRT siblings that are spayed and neutered. I can read most dogs’ body language, and have learned from first hand experience that even the ‘friendliest’ dogs can have their triggered moments. So I always make a conscious effort to feed each dog separately and look out for triggering behaviors like resource-guarding. I work from home so your pup will rarely be left alone. I have a single family home with a big front and back yard that are fenced so they can run around. I’m flexible with pick up and drop offs and cancellations. I understand things happen, and plans change. I am happy to work with you on your requests. Rest assured that I will treat your pups like I would want mine to be treated when I’m away! I let my dogs out every 2hrs or whenever they want to go play since we have a fenced front and back yard. So your dogs will too! I work from home so I can keep your dog company all day. Our dogs usually get an afternoon treat in between meals, and again before bed.

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 is $39 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 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 15,572 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:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.
