“Leslie and her family took Ace on short notice and took great care of him when I got called to Great Falls for work. They handled his stair phobia and kept me updated with pictures, which was fantastic because I am the one with separation anxiety and I would probably never have been able to ask for them.”
“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.”
“Lynsee was an amazing dog sitter! She communicated with me every day and sent regular photo updates, which I really appreciated. She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away and I could tell my pup felt right at home! I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Jennifer was great with Scout. She took her on short notice and scheduled a meet and greet that day. During Scouts boarding Jennifer took the time to keep me updated by texting me and sending pics and short videos. She made sure Scout got exercise and also took Scout to the dog park after checking with me for my approval. Jennifer was professional, kind and took in Scout like she was he own. I would highly recommend Jennifer if you are looking for a boarder for you dog. I'll continue to use Jennifer in the future..”
“Sara is amazing. She took amazing care of my dog Hunter. She took him on walks. She also sent pictures and pupdates. If your looking for someone to watch your pet when your away I’d definitely go with Sara.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a dog in my life until recently. My greatest strength is my ability to communicate with dogs. I have reaised puppies and cared for senior dogs through end of life. My best friend, King George (pictured), taught me how to love in ways I did not know were possible, and now I want to pay that forward. No matter your pet's needs, I can provide them. I work part-time from home. My work is extremely flexible, which allows me to give your pet 100% of my attention while under my care. My dog was my son and I always put him first. I will care for your pet as if it is my own child. I have no pets now, so you are guaranteed that your pet will always come first with me. If I watch your pet in your home, I will learn your routines, habits and behaviors so that I can surpassed your expectations in pet care.
“Joslyn was great. My dogs both loved her right from the start. She was very communicative and both of my girls looked very comfortable in her care. I would definitely recommend her and use her again the next time I have pet care needs.”

Friends and family have relied on me multiple times to provide pet care wether it’s feeding pets on time, cleaning living spaces like cages, and litter boxes, Providing exercise to keep pets happy and healthy, and Providing a safe and comfortable environment, I’m there. I’m currently home full time. That means I have all the time to play with your fur baby’s to keep them happy, healthy, and stimulated. Whenever you need me, I’m there😊 Hi I’m Mikal. Building a bond By handling your pet and spending quality time with them is my number 1 priority. The things I would do to keep your pets Trust and Safety are many. A few Examples are: Using pet-proof gates or crates to keep pets away from dangerous areas.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with yours. I have experience caring for dogs of different personalities, including working with high-energy dogs that need plenty of exercise, structure, and attention. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, basic training, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have a consistent weekday schedule and am available before and after work, as well as throughout the weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and can be flexible when scheduling allows. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship rather than simply being left alone. I’m also happy to communicate with you throughout the stay and provide updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a friendly male Pudelpointer who loves meeting new dogs and would be happy to have a playmate. We also have approximately an acre of fenced space where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. Our home is a family environment where dogs receive lots of attention, interaction, and supervision. I understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, so I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, needs, and boundaries. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is being cared for like one of our own while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time.
About: Okay, as a cat person… I see a need: where are all the cat babysitters?! Lots of dog lovers out there (I’m one, too), but the cats totally get left behind and they need all the love, too. Am I right? (Hehe.) In steps me. I have provided pet care services for many years for both cats and dogs. I can do drop-ins and dog walking and boarding! For the cat owners: I love my cat soooooo much and I’ve realized it’s kind of hard finding cat people on here to help with as much love as I would give so I wanted to be a person to offer that love and to help with your fur kitties when I can. For cat & dog owners: Pet care has always been a part of my life. Most recently I've cared for a cutie ragamuffin kitty in my home (boarded for a week) and two adult cats (making home visits), boarded another adult cat (a 4-week stay), took care of a younger Vizsla (full-time, while a nanny), stayed overnight in-home with two Dachshunds (one week), and also provided in-home, overnight care to the cutest cat and dog duo (6-night stay), amongst others. In the midst of all this pet care, I rescued my own kitty—Oscar (who has since passed 😞). Now I volunteer at our local animal shelter. Overall, I’m just here to love on some animals and give you some peace of mind that they’re totally in great care. Let me know how I can help out! I look forward to talking to you soon! I work from home full-time which means I can provide lots of attention and snuggles (and outside time for the pups) during the day time. :) I will care for your kitty or dog with every bit of my heart that I use to care for mine. I really do think cats in particular get looked over and if you’re someone like me who wants the best care for them, that’s what I’m here for. Lots of love and catered attention.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lockwood is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $37 per night. 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 of November 2026, there are 75 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lockwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Lockwood 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 Lockwood 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 Lockwood.
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.
You and your Lockwood 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.
