“Jewelia was great! She was reliable, communicative, and my dogs loved her from the second she walked inside. She saved me last minute when our dog boarding cancelled due to kennel cough and gave me peace of mind. Best part was she lives so close to us! Would definitely recommend and would use here again!”

“Emily was so sweet with my little Zoey Bear. Zoey has pretty bad separation anxiety and I could tell that she was at ease with Emily. Additionally, Emily went above and beyond to come meet Zoey before the scheduled date and she even gave Zoey a massage while I was gone! Emily was on time, responsive to my messages, and respectful to my home as well. I will be booking he again for sure and highly recommend her!”

“Sarah was so patient with my nervous girl Scooter! I was so nervous about leaving her for the first time but Sarah eased my mind with her detailed updates and photos. I knew my animals were in the right hands! She will definitely be my go to for pet sitting :)”

“Katie was amazing with our pups! We've moved a lot in the past couple months which left Coco super anxious around new people but had no problems with Katie. She kept us informed of every drop in and super flexible when our weekend didn't pan out. She will definitely be watching the fur babies next time we are out of town! ?”

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and horses, I have experience training multiple puppies and horses. Our puppies were Dobermans and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so I am very comfortable with large dogs! My rehomed-to-me dog is a border collie blue heeler mix who had a lot of anxiety before I showed him how safe and precious he is. My husband and I have a year old golden Aussie puppy we got fall 2024. I have also dog sat since I was a teenager, consistently watching a young pit bull and boxer and elderly dachshund and Bernese. My daily routine with my dogs includes a long daily walk, trips to the dog park, playing with toys, picking out treats at the pet store, and snuggling. If given the chance, I will give your pup the same amount of attention! Since I live in an apartment, I unfortunately cannot have additional pets in my home. However, I am more than willing to come to your home to care for your dog! I do work a full-time job, but I am available to walk, feed, and hang out with your pets before and after work.
“Alexa was fabulous! She took great care of my 5 pets, including sending me detailed updates and pictures each day. She was a great communicator and was attentive to each animal’s needs. I wild absolutely hire Alexa again!”

“As usual, Melissa took great care of Houdini. She always goes above and beyond and gives him extra attention, you can tell he loves her from the pictures. She also watered our plants! Thank you Melissa!”

“Charles did a fantastic job taking care of our cats! He showed up on time, made sure to spend time to hang out with the cats, and clearly cared about their health and well being!”

About: I have not lived a single year without a dog. I have had all different kinds of pets and think Rover is an awesome way to keep them active and loved!! I am able to pull heavy dogs and have had experience with dogs of all ends of the discipline spectrum. I am almost 24 and recently moved to Bozeman from Virginia. I have a 9 month old German Shepard and have had my own personal dogs for the last 4 years. I work remotely and am extremely flexible with schedule. I've trained multiple puppies and taken classes on this as well. I am currently working FULL-TIME REMOTE! So i have all the time necessary to take care of your animals when needed and spend extra time with them. I have an energetic puppy myself who loves other animals. We are outdoors constantly and I am well seasoned in ensuring the safety of your animal. I have great experience leash training as well, and am more than willing to incorporate this if the client would like!
About: When you go on vacation, your pets deserve a vacation, too! I strive to not only meet your dog's needs but to provide them with personalized attention and enrichment. I take the time to greet your pet, learn their personality, and let your pet lead the interactions. With five years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I've worked with everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, including dogs with anxiety and other special needs. Your furry friends will enjoy hiking adventures, special treats, and all the individual attention they crave. I'm also experienced in administering medications when needed. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities - because when they're having a great time, you can truly relax! I'm currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have general availability. I'm fully available evenings and weekends. I accept advance reservations and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. My focus on house-sitting means all pets I care for have the comfort of familiar and safe surroundings—a key benefit over boarding. I make a point of meeting pets and owners beforehand. I also operate on a "leave no trace" principle when house-sitting. In other words, I leave your home clean and ready for your return.
“Jenna was great, again! We feel very comfortable leaving our guinea pig for Jenna to take care of. She gets great photos too, so we can enjoy seeing him happy throughout the week. We would definitely recommend”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of breeds and sizes from a newfoundland to a yorkie! Friends and family rely on me to take the best care of their fur babies. I also take on other responsibilities such as, keeping the plants alive and making sure the family arrives back to a squeaky clean home. I’m available for house sitting, walking breaks, and drop ins during the week and weekends with enough notice! Summer hours may vary, but open to changing plans to benefit everyone! I’d prefer staying at the clients home where the dog/pets are more comfortable! I’m comfortable taking dogs on walks in their neighborhood or transport them to a dog park or walking trails.
About: I’ve been a respected sought after house and pet sitter for at least 8 years now. I rent so I can’t have pets but love that I get to show love to other peoples’ pets this way:) I have primarily been a house/cat sitter as that is where I got my start. But in the last 4 years I have cared for multiple fun doggies as well. I am a responsible older female with a full time job. I love to Housesit and pet sit to get to fulfill my desire to have pets myself and to pay my student loans. I work 4-10’s, Tuesday-Friday 6:30 to 5. So I am available all evenings and all day Saturday-Monday. Depending on the distance I am possibly able to do a midday check in on my workdays. I can’t do in home as pets aren’t allowed at my rental. I use pet sitting a a way to give love to animals that I can’t have.
About: My mom used to breed dogs and I was always involved with the dogs and puppies! Plus I’ve love and have been around animals ever since I was a baby! I currently have a pretty open schedule! I am an early bird and enjoy keeping busy during the day. I enjoy having weekends to myself but am more then happy to make exception every once in a while! I will follow a list of what is asked for a client. Feeding, clean up, pick up anything a dog could eat that they aren’t supposed to, walks, play time, etc. I enjoy taking my dog on hikes, to the river (he’s a sucker for the water), he loves ball and rope toys, he enjoys showing off his tricks also! We are currently working with harness training for my cat so she can come on adventures too safely and supervised!

About: I've grown up with dogs for my entire life. I have 2 little toy Aussies. They have been so good for me! I love the companionship and they motivates me to get up and get moving. I would love to take your dog for walks and just love on them... although I might grow attached. I promise to give them back though. I do work full time but am more than happy to let your dogs out at lunch or take them for walks. I am also available in the evenings and weekends for any service. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your best friend. I promise to spoil them with love and attention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Cheers!
About: I am an experienced dog care professional with over 13 years of hands-on experience! After 3 years as a dog trainer, working with everything from tiny pups to giant breeds, I’ve tackled a wide range of behavioral issues, from anxiety to aggression. I've cared for dogs since I was 10 and even worked as a vet technician at 21, gaining a solid understanding of medical procedures, medication administration, and safety protocols. Whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra attention, I'm ready to provide the love and care your dog deserves! Currently a part-time nanny and finishing my degree online, I'm looking for pet sitting opportunities to help pay off my student loans. I’m passionate about animals and excited to offer reliable and loving care for your pets while I balance my studies! I have two friendly pups who love to play, but they don't need to join me for house sitting or any adventures unless your pets are interested and they get along well! If your dogs meet and behave appropriately, they’re welcome to join in. I’m also experienced with behaviorally challenged dogs and happy to help them get the exercise and attention they need, whether or not they interact with my pups!

Manhattan cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was my second time booking Alexa, and she was fantastic. My 5 animals are all very comfortable and happy when she’s around, even my extremely shy cat that hardly ever comes out for pet sitters. She provides me daily updates on all my animals and has given me peace of mind when I’m away.

Sarah was so patient with my nervous girl Scooter! I was so nervous about leaving her for the first time but Sarah eased my mind with her detailed updates and photos. I knew my animals were in the right hands! She will definitely be my go to for pet sitting :)
