“Lynda was the most accommodating and considerate house sitter. She met with us several times prior to our departure and became familiar with both our dogs. My pups were well cared for and we got daily updates with pictures. The added bonus was I returned to an immaculate clean house - I highly recommend Lynda as a reliable and loving friend to your pets when you are out of town.”
“New to town and had an out of town wedding to attend. Georgina stayed with my dog Angus for the weekend and cared for him. She was punctual, took detailed notes on my dog’s care during the meet and greet and left the place spotless. It can be such a stressful thing finding someone who will look after a beloved pet while away. Georgina made the experience stress free.”
“This was the first time Natalee stayed with our 2 dogs and one cat. I am always nervous about leaving them! However after meeting Natalee, I felt very comfortable with our pets I her care! She is very capable and responsible. Will definitely book her again. 🌸”
“Bryan was fantastic! He took great care of our little girl, and she and his dog Ron truly bonded and had great fun doing various outdoor adventures! We would highly recommend Bryan for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“We had a family emergency and Nickolas responded immediately and put us at ease under very short notice. He went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were gone. He sent us photos and genuinely cared for our animals and it gave us huge peace of mind in a difficult situation. We are so thankful.”
“Ashlee taught our dog to shake while we were gone. We can tell our pup was well taken care for and had energy burned. She was responsive, communicative, and the house looked great when we got home.”
“Nichole house sat and watched my 2 larger dogs for me while I was away for the holidays. She did a fantastic job and was very flexible given that she watched my pets over the holidays. She sent me pupdates and pictures during her stay so I always knew my girls were in good hands. When I returned I could tell my dogs were happy and had enjoyed their time with Nichole. I highly recommend Nichole as she is professional, courteous and a true dog lover. I will use her in the future for house sitting my pets.”
“Eliza is our new favorite sitter! She did an excellent job caring for my reactive/anxious pup, was very communicative, and left the house even better than when she arrived. Would highly recommend Eliza to other pet parents!”
About: Ever since I was little, friends and family have frequently relied on me for extra pet care. Ranging from taking dogs on walks, to checking in and feeding pets or home sitting while owners enjoy their vacation, I have done all types of pet care! I work on trail crews during the summer and do not work in the winter. Therefore I have plenty of availability and throughout the day and on a weekly basis! I always ask owners about the methods they use to take care of their pets and ensure their safety. I will always make sure I treat their pets as they themselves would
“Christine did a wonderful job watching our 9yo corgi Huck and house over a long two-week trip. Great communication, before and during the stay. And we returned to a happy dog and tidy home. Would highly recommend!”
About: Animals make life better! I’ve been pet sitting since I was about 8-years-old, walking neighborhood dogs and checking in on cats. During the pandemic, I volunteered at an animal shelter in Indiana. I ran miles with active dogs, provided enrichment through puzzle feeders, and even created videos about adoptable pets that ended up on the local news (and helped them get adopted!). Most recently, I’ve worked with an animal shelter in Missoula, helping them build up their social media and outreach. I have experience with kittens, puppies, rabbits, chickens, senior pets and dogs that are dog-aggressive or anti-social. I strive to provide the best pet care because they’re our family members and we want them in the best care while we’re away. I’m a strong communicator and always send text updates and photos! I’m a graduate student a the University of Montana. My days are flexible. I can feed/check-in during the morning, evening, or both depending on how much you need me. The animals safety is always top priority. I make sure to give your pet attention if they want it, give them treats, give them fresh water and for cats—scooping their box each visit. I always make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave or close the door. I want to make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their family is away!
About: I have s lifetime of experience in pet care. I worked as a vet tech for many years And I have bred, shown and cared for pets my whole life. I Also specialize in horses, cattle and large lifestock as well as dogs and cats. Pet sitting, horse training and horse breeding are my primary full-time jobs. With that said I have full control over my schedule and I’m happy to accommodate most of our pet owner needs. We look forward to having your dog stay with us. All dogs are allowed to have free rein of my house and are taken out to potty and play every few hrs, unless they need more at which we provide that. We pet them, play with them and really make them feel at home. We keep all dogs separate at feeding times. Safety is always # 1 I don't have kennels I have horse stalls that I can put dogs in for short stents of time. They are lined with shavings Most of the time dogs remain with me in the house. I offer a Pick up and drop off as well for an extra fee.
About: I grew up always surrounded by pets, especially dogs. They’ve always had a special place in my heart. As a young adult, I worked with a boarding and grooming kennel. I learned how to handle different types of dog personalities and keep them happy. Now I’m a proud dog mom myself and spend a large amount of my time with my girl and volunteering at the humane society. I do have a full time job, but always have evening hours, so I am always free in the mornings for walks, potty breaks and check-ins. I have a Pomeranian that I got when she was 8 weeks old and she is my absolute baby. I put a lot of work into properly training her to make sure she didn’t have any bad habits. With that said she is still spoiled on the daily
About: I have always loved dogs and I was lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood full of them! I spent a lot of my childhood walking and playing with neighbors' dogs, and I am excited to continue this passion! I have spent time both dog sitting and dog walking over the past five years, and have experience with both large and small dogs of all ages. I spent my senior year at school helping my friend train and take care of her Cavapoo puppy named Truman, and have most recently been assisting coworkers with their dog walking and sitting needs. I am available all day during the week and on the weekends! I look forward to meeting you and your dog or dogs and helping out wherever it's needed!
“Elise did a good job of taking care of our house and our pets while we were out of town for two weeks. She was quick to respond to communications, followed instructions, respected our house, and left everything the way it was before we left. The pets didn't even act like they missed us that much, which is a big complement. Thanks!”
About: Aside from caring for many pets of my own, I spent the last three years working at one of Missoula’s top daycare and boarding facilities before leaving to focus on personalized pet care. Those three years gave me extensive, hands-on experience in dog and cat behavior, safely managing large group play settings (from 20 to 60+ dogs), administering medications, and handling in-home pet care. I am also certified in Pet First Aid. Animals have profoundly shaped my life, and my whole heart goes into caring for them. Your pets' safety, comfort, and best interests will always be my absolute top priority! While my primary availability is anytime Saturday and Sunday, I'm available during weekday evenings for anything your pets may need and am happy to do so even at the very last minute if something unexpected comes up. After the health and safety of your pet, maintaining professionalism and your privacy is my top priority. Being trusted, not only with someone's furry family, but also with access to their homes is something I take very seriously and I guarantee I will follow any and all instructions provided and do my best to go above and beyond for your pets or homes.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lolo
I honestly feel so touched by the way Gabrielle took care of my two boys while I was in Sweden for more than two weeks. It is stressful to leave our four legged family members behind and the fact that I could tell in photos and in their demeanor when I got back that they had had excellent care and attention really means the world to me. I highly recommend Gabrielle and find her both responsible and kind and a true animal lover !!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lolo is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $76 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 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 301 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lolo. 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 Lolo 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 Lolo 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 Lolo 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 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.

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.
