About: Hello, my name is Kimberli, I am 32 years old and I am working on building a business doing what I love, working with and meeting all your animal care needs! I have 16 years of experience being around many different kinds of animals, most house pets and some farm animals! I really enjoy the outdoors, so if it's possible we will always go out to play! I have experience with training dogs and cats! I also have experience with special needs animals! I am confident and comfortable administering medications, trimming nails, or giving baths if needed or desired! My intention is to provide your pet with a relaxing and homey experience, while you are away! I work part time, my schedule is super flexible, so I can spend all of my free time taking care of all your animal care needs, walking dogs, or just keeping your cats company! I am unable to care for any animals at my home! At your home I'll fulfill all animal care needs, including walking in the neighborhood!
“Fabulous pet care for our 2 dogs and cat. Hannah was great at sending photo updates, and our dogs looked happy with her. They went on walks and had playtime, Hannah provided them with a 10/10 weekend.”
“I highly recommend Lorraine! She appeared to have a truly great time with our dog and kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos. She took him on several long walks and played with him in the backyard. She cleaned up after herself and left the house spotless. We will definitely be using her again in the future when we go out of town.”
About: I believe great pet care is about more than feeding, walks, and letting dogs outside—it’s about making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their person is away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and very tuned in to an animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different: some need lots of activity and play, while others are happiest with a calm presence, a familiar routine, and plenty of affection. I’m comfortable caring for pets at different stages of life, from energetic younger animals who need consistency and positive reinforcement to senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, and closer attention. I take routines and owner instructions seriously and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave knowing your pet is with someone who will truly pay attention to them—not simply “check in” and move on. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can work around your pet’s usual feeding, exercise, and care routine. I know how important consistency is when you’re away, so I do my best to keep your pet’s routine familiar and comfortable. I also make sure visits don’t feel rushed—whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, affection, or simply some calm companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the individualized care they need. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in the environment they already know and feel most comfortable in. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other specific care instructions. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety, and I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and privacy. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, giving them affection and interaction when they want it while respecting their space when they need it. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being treated with care and respect while you’re away.
“Racheal is great!! She’s super communicative and sends daily updates of how the pups are doing and what they’re up to. The pups seemed super happy when we got home and the house looked great. She’s super tidy, and we will absolutely reach out to her again when we are out of town!”
“Brighid exudes calm capabilities and a gentle nature. Our senior pup loved her constant companionship while we were away. She left our home tidy and even washed the sheets and remade the bed she slept in. Who does that! She was quick with communication and sent us feedback during our trip. I’d happily hire her again!!”
“Emma is amazing. She is super conscientious- very communicative, honest, reliable. She immediately bonded with our big St. Bernard and took great care of him. We returned after a long trip with our sweet doggo looking healthy, happy and relaxed. She sent tons of pictures of our boy. She took great care of our house including trouble shooting moving cars for street plowing. Highly recommend having Emma care for pets, houses, or honestly anything. Would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“makenzie was great- responsible, came out to the house for a meet and great the day before our trip , sent pics while we were away, and left the house spotless. as far as i can tell the weekend was seamless for our 12 year old dog!”
About: Hi! My name is Sam and I’m looking to get back into dog care and pet sitting. Sadly, I lost my dog back in August due to old age and am missing having animals in my house! Currently my roomate has a dog who is super sweet, but I would love to watch after your dog! I have many years of experience with cats and dogs between dog sitting, fostering, and much more. I work up at the mountain on the days I put not available. But I am available for early morning or late night walks those days! I’m currently working four days a week so that leaves me for three days to spend with your pet. I’m available for early morning walking or late evenings! I have a huge fenced in yard that is puppy proof! I also have gates covering any areas that wouldn’t be safe for dogs to get into. And if your dog is shy and wants her own space I have a downstairs apartment that they can hang out in away from my roommates pup!
About: Hello! I am a travel nurse in between contracts, always looking a fun way to get out of the house. Being from Montana, I grew up with all sorts of animals, learning how to take care of them through 4H and all our household pets. Layla and I love going to the beach along with hiking and we would really enjoy some more company. Also, I know I hate leaving my pets home alone for too long and I would love to help anyone out with giving their dog babies plenty of attention throughout the day or overnight. Let me know what I can help you with, I look forward to meeting you.
“Everything seemed to have gone well. Whitney met us in person before sitting for Marlin and came again the day prior to make sure she had all the information needed and to get a lay of the land. She sent photos of marlin. Although we did not set expectations prior, in the future we would like more frequent updates. We would hire her again.”
“Lilli kept our dog for a week at our house. She did an amazing job. Gave our doggo lots of exercise and companionship. We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. I have no hesitations in recommending her!”
About: Hi! I work from home and love the company of a four legged coworker 🐕🐾 Your pup will enjoy mid day walks, play breaks, and lots of cuddles in between meetings. After work and on the weekends, I love taking a buddy on hikes and trail runs. I’m home all day, so there’s no long stretches alone. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventure walks or is more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I’m happy to match their vibe. I live in a two bedroom apartment by myself, so there would be plenty of space for your pup to play or lounge. I am also available to dogsit and available for drop in walks! I like to get active on the weekends and would love a dog buddy to run and hike with.
About: What started as a simple way to make some extra money with my love for pets has turned into my passion! Your pets will feel loved and cherished in my hands and you can be worry free! I will be taking care of pets full time, including being a dog grooming assistant twice a week, and the rest of the time I will be able to give my full attention to your pet! I am flexible in how you want me to take care of your pet in my home! I will be able to meet any preferences you have! I live in an apartment with no yard, but there are lots of places to go on walks and parks nearby to play!
About: I have housesat in the Bozeman area only by word-of-mouth, so with a change in my schedule I am looking to housesit more! I have looked after dogs and cats. You will come home to a clean kitchen and a tidy home. I will be able to walk your dog in the morning and evening. Some days will allow for a lunch walk or time to let your dog outside. In my client's home, I ensure pets are fed and walked at adequate times. I communicate any problems or questions to the client as needed. I will make sure mail is not left on your porch. I do not host pets in my home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Livingston
Lorraine was a fantastic pet/house sitter. She took great care of our dog, two cats, horse, chickens, flowers/plants and home. She was really great with our dog who we had never left before. He was very comfortable and happy with Lorraine. The place was clean and tidy when we returned. Would most definitely book with Lorraine again. Thank you!
Bianca did a great job looking after our dog on short notice. We'd absolutely recommend her to anyone in the area or passing through. Our dog is a rescue and skittish and she was able to build trust and make sure she was cared for when we were away. Many thanks, Bianca!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Livingston on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Livingston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Livingston walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Livingston maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Livingston 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Livingston. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
