“This is Bentley's 2nd time with Janet and he is already showing his comfort with her by being more vocal when he wants out or is hungry and when he wants on her lap. So appreciate Janet! She is Bentley's 2nd Grandma.”
“Leslie is an amazing sitter! She sent me lots of updates about my dog and I could tell by the pictures he had such a great time! She made sure he got lots of love, attention, and play time. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Angela did a great job with keeping in touch while I was gone sending pictures of them on walks and at the park. She was accommodating to my schedule, with having someone different pick her up since I got in so late. ”
“Natalie was super amazing with our 2yr old yellow lab pup, Peaches! We needed a sitter last minute for a few nights and Natalie was immediately ready to care for our pup. She was incredibly loving with Peaches, giving her lots of play time with other dogs and sending pics every day. We're so grateful to Natalie for helping us feel comfortable leaving our pup for a few days and we would love for Peaches to be in her care again in the future. Thanks, Natalie!”
“Our Coco Chanel LOVED being with Olivia. She had playmates with Mogli and other pets that Olivia was sitting. This was our first time leaving her for an extended period and were worried that she would be anxious but she totally relaxed by day 2, which also allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We never felt that our fur baby was left with someone that loved and cared for her as much as we do. Will ABSOLUTELY use Olivia's services again! 💞”
“Emmeli was so sweet and took wonderful care of Sissy! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible with our situation, especially since we don’t live in Billings and needed someone somewhat last minute. She has a beautiful home, and I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving my dog with her. She sent us photo updates and checked in to let us know how Sissy was doing. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog!”
“My yellow lab, Sophie had a wonderful play date at Shalane’s with her two yellow lab fur babies today! Her kindness and love of dogs was truly evident. I higjly recommend her and look forward to boarding with her in the near future.”
“Kylee was so great at sharing pics and Copper's happenings during his 3-night stay there. Longest we have had to leave our pup, but felt so great with each passing day with our decision in picking Kylee. I loved that there were a couple of other dogs there each day (including her own two dogs), but felt much more like a small personal party instead of a huge pack let loose mentality. Just what we needed! I would use her again anytime (but traveling thru, so chances are slim this time around). THANKS KYLEE!”
About: I've taken care of family and friends dogs for years ranging from just checking in on them during the day to staying with them or taking them back home to stay with me. I currently work at the airport and have 3 hour gaps between flights to take car of animals between. I am week on week off so my availability is wide open when I am not at the airport. I have one dog that's super friendly, with a dog park in my apartment complexe as well as a dog park half a block away to take the dogs to go play.
About: I was born and raised around dogs! Mostly all animals. I’ve had all types of dogs, mostly Yorkies! I have a dog of my own along with two cats and a guinea pig! I will be able to be around your dog for roughly the entire time I have them. I do currently work part time at AMC theatres! I work Tuesday,Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, at 5pm! I will be able to anytime during the week, as long as it’s before I work at 5, or on my day off! :) I will be able to work around my work schedule to fit to your needs as well. I have a mostly fenced yard, the way the yard is set up only the drive way is not fenced. I do have cameras all around the house which I have full access to! You’re dog will be in my view 24/7!
“Sara is awesome! She took great care of Leia and sent pictures of all the fun she was having. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitting that will give your dog plenty of love and attention.”
“Mikayla and family were wonderful. They sent pictures, gave our dogs lots of attention, and were great communicators. They were accommodating to our changing drop off and pick up times. They were great with our high energy dog.”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for pets and have owned animals of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds. I’m an active foster who has helped place six dogs into permanent homes, and I regularly volunteer at local shelters. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical and special needs, including torn ACLs, allergies, skin conditions, and visual impairments in both young and senior dogs. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00–3:00 PM and am available for walks and check-ins before and after work. I’m happy to discuss additional needs and do my best to accommodate. It is a possibly to do mid-day walks if I have the means to coordinate around my work. My dog is my world (and she may or may not run the house!). She’s allowed on the furniture and enjoys a 30-minute walk every day, rain or shine. The care I provide for your pet will be based entirely on your preferences—whether that means treating them like my own or strictly following your established routines. I’m flexible and happy to provide most services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Joliet home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Joliet.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Joliet sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
