About: Growing up with animals has taught me the importance of their care and well being. They are all so unique, why we love them so! I work for myself in Bozeman, therefore I have a very flexible schedule. I am available seven days a week, all times of the day! I have a very large yard right on the trails. We are close to streams for swimming and Peet’s hill for socializing, we stay entertained!
“Toaster had a fantastic time with Eliza and Gus! New best buds. ☺️ I really appreciate Eliza’s quick communication and her working with us through a schedule change. Thank you!”
“Jennifer did a great job making my dog comfortable in a new place. She has a great outside place where he loves to spend time. The updates were great and reassuring We would take Colter to Jennifer again and will.”
“Whitley has helped us twice, and does a wonderful job! She kept us updated with photos, took our puppy for walks, and took great care of him. The second time we dropped him off he ran straight up to Whitley wagging his tail so hard - he was really happy to see her again! =) So our dog's rating also seems to be 5 stars for Whitley.”
About: I love dogs and try to include them in everything I do, hikes, farm chores, etc. I’m studying to become a vet so I can’t commit to my own dog long term. However, I have been fostering puppies and caring for pets for years. I specialize in puppy care, potty training, commands and socializing. I am currently taking classes through Montana State. However I space out my schedule to have plenty of time to care for your pets. I don’t love when dogs are left inside for long periods of time and prioritize getting them out of the house for the majority of the day. I live on a 20 acre farm property where your pet will have plenty of room to roam. There is a pond on property if you pet loves swimming. There is a small portion of the property that is fenced, however due to having mules on the property, I will never leave your dog outside unattended. We have a super energetic friendly pup who always loves to play if your pet is up for it. I love hiking, running, walking and try to include the pups in all of that.
“I would totally recommend Margaret for a pet sitting… She sent me many photos and updates as to how my little Daisy May was doing… I don’t think I could find a better sitter and I will use Margaret again and again!”
“Appreciated Olivia’s kindness and willingness to look after our (somewhat anxious) senior Schnauzer (for just over a 10 day span) - and all the personalized TLC she gave him. He was in good hands - and we received a picture with a message each day to journal his time away from us. Very grateful that we found her! :) Thank you Olivia!”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I currently own a cat, and I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends. Additionally, my time volunteering at an animal shelter gave me great practical skills—from feeding and cleaning up after cats to watering, exercising, and safely walking dogs of all sizes. Because I limit my apartment boarding to just one or two pets, your fur baby will get focused, one-on-one attention in a calm environment. As a student who also works, my daily routine is structured but flexible. I am fully available for morning and evening care, and I balance my schedule so I can easily fit in midday check-ins, walks, and drop-in visits between my classes and shifts. Because I manage my time carefully, pet care fits naturally into my day, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention and regular potty breaks right on schedule. In my home, safety and a low-stress environment are my top priorities. Because I live in an apartment with my own cat, I only board one or two pets at a time, ensuring they get dedicated one-on-one attention and have plenty of space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow the owner's exact instructions regarding their routine, feeding schedules, and safety boundaries. Whether at my home or yours, I always double check that doors and gates are secure, maintain a calm atmosphere, and keep a close eye on body language to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life. Two of which live with my parents back in my hometown, and we have had them since they were puppies. With both dogs, I have personally crate trained and potty trained them both, as well as trained them to sit, lay down, and wait for their food. Additionally, a fun skill one of mine has learned is to wait and lift up each leg to get his harness on. While that is all experience with my own dogs, I have also done many drop in visits and overnight sitting for other pets. I am currently work a full-time job and am available to care for your pets in the evenings during the weekdays. As for weekends, I am available for boarding at my home, walks and drop-in visits! In your home, I will make sure that your pets are comfortable with me before proceeding, as this is the most important! Additionally, if you crate your dogs, I will make sure that they get to potty, play, and have water before returning to their crate. I am always open for any special requests that you may have, such as help with training, bathing, etc.
“Joe was an incredible dog sitter for our pup Ranger. We got so many daily updates and pictures of many walks and trips to the dog park, and Ranger especially had a blast playing with Joe’s sweet dog Ellie. We would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to board their dog in the Bozeman area!”
“Christina took my dog for an awesome hike with a dog-friend. He was very happy and didn't want to leave when I picked him up. Christina forwarded me some great pictures while I was gone of my dog and his new pal. I would definitely use her as sitter and recommend her to anyone.”
About: i have many years of experience with household animals such as dogs and cats, as well as, any type of farm animals, equine, and livestock! i have grown up around animals and have always owned animals of my own. i have been doing animal care for as long as i can remember. it started as a “weekly chore” for me as a child and then as an adult became second nature. i am a traveler and adventurer and i know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind, i am here to help ensure your pet is loved regardless! we will take walks, have cuddles, eat treats, play with other pups, and just enjoy each others company! i am happy to fit your pets needs into my schedule at any time in order to ease your stress and make your pets comfortable! i will ensure your animals safety is my top priority.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one — I grew up with everything from spirited poodles to goofy Portuguese Water Dogs to stubborn, sausage-shaped dachshunds, so I’ve got a soft spot for every size, coat, and personality quirk. That early exposure turned into a real passion, and I’ve been professionally walking and sitting dogs since I was 18. I’m an active, outdoorsy person, and I bring that energy to every walk and visit — plenty of play, exploration, and enthusiasm, tailored to whatever your dog is into (fetch fanatic, sniff-everything explorer, or couch cuddler, I’m here for it). What I love most about this work is getting to know each dog as an individual: their quirks, their personalities, their little routines. I treat every dog in my care like my own 🐶🩷 I just moved here and have nothing but time! I am doing some research part time from home, but will have lots of time for your pet :) I know inviting someone into your home to care for your dog is a big trust to extend, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m highly educated, reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, keep your home just as tidy as I found it, and send you photo and video updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority: I’m careful with doors and gates, attentive to any anxiety or health needs, and quick to reach out if anything ever seems off. You can relax knowing your dog — and your home — are in good hands.
About: Growing up with 8 dogs, I am well rounded in puppy care among all breeds! I’ve also been a recommended sitter to all connections by family and friends. Totaling up to 10 families that I would consistently dog sit for! I’m currently in school, and working part time. But with my evenings wide open I’d love to have some furry friends to check on or take care of! I’m also an early riser, which I know many dogs are too! This is the best time to take them for walks or play ball! I like to ensure that the pets I watch are getting the priorities they need. Whether this be walks, play time, or snuggles! I love to involve my own dogs with anything I do, putting a large focus on them. Which is exactly what I would do with others dogs as well.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Livingston
As mentioned in many other reviews, Joules is simply wonderful! Sincerely kind and easy going, she welcomed Sherpa into her home and family without ever meeting him before. I could tell immediately that my buddie would be treated with love and care while I was away for 5 days, which made me feel at ease. I’d recommend a stay with Joules and her fam without hesitation!

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.
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.
98% of sitters in Livingston can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Livingston 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 Livingston.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Livingston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Livingston 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
