“Alexa took such great care of my cat while I was away. I loved how I could rely on how punctual her check-ins were and how consistently she communicated. It really helped to make me feel at ease and know my cat was in great hands. My cat was very spoiled by all of the affection she got and I know she can’t wait to see Alexa again!”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I've watched my neighbors, family, and others' pets, making sure they are getting the top-notch care they deserve! Animals have always been a constant in my life, and I can't remember a time I didn't have any pets around. I work to build a connection with every animal I work with so that they feel comfortable until their human returns home. I've cared for pets big and small, and will always make sure owners get the updates they deserve. I am very flexible in my schedule, as I am a current college student. I have plenty of time in my day to make sure your pet is well cared for! In my home, I have a fenced-in yard with a designated dog area. I have plenty of room inside and outside so that your furry friend will feel comfortable. As for my client's home, I will make sure to understand the rules and boundaries for any animals I am caring for.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.

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 am a trust worthy person, i have a Goldendoodle of my own, so i understand how important it is to find someone loving, dependable, and attentive to care for your pup. I have over seven years of pet-care experience through other platforms, as well as caring for dogs belonging to friends and neighbors. I earned more than 210 positive reviews, which we would be happy to provide. I am a cybersecurity engineer who works remotely, and my wife is an aerospace engineering student who has classes only three days per week. This means someone is home most of the time to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and affection. I’ll care for your dog like part of my own family! Pet care fits perfectly into our routine. I work remotely as a cybersecurity engineer, and my wife is an aerospace engineering student who is away only three days per week. One or both of us are home most of the day, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets can feel safe and comfortable. Since I work remotely, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I have a friendly Goldendoodle who enjoys having company, and i introduce all dogs slowly and supervise their interactions.i follow each pet’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine and provide regular photo and video updates.

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!

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 Pet Sitting - Great Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Great Falls is $36 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $45 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 16,239 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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.

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
