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!


2. Megan W.

“Megan did an excellent job taking care of our two spoiled cats. One of our cats was just 3 weeks post dental surgery, and he has an over-active thyroid that requires twice daily medication. He can be very shy around strangers, so showing up twice a day to take a pill could have been a challenge, but Megan managed it perfectly. Both cats were very comfortable around her as evidenced by the pictures she took. I would highly recommend her services. She showed up on time, twice a day, including Thanksgiving day, and she spend a good amount of time each time with the cats. We came home to happy healthy fur babies!”


3. Trena S.

“Trena was awesome! As anxious cat parents, we appreciate receiving updates and photos so much. Trena was able to handle medications for both our cats and it always helps to know your babies are in good hands when you are away. She also did thoughtful things before we arrived back home like washing our sheets and taking out our trash. When we were seconds away from missing our flight home she was also able to stay longer which we appreciated knowing so much. This was our second booking with Trena and we would absolutely book again!”


4. Melissa G.

“For the first time ever we were able to travel without worry for our two Great Pyrenees. Melissa is so kind and caring, her empathy and love for dogs was apparent immediately. She is extremely competent and thoughtful, we received multiple photos of our pups and other farm animals. She even sent photos of locked gates! We returned home to happy & healthy pups, horses, and cattle. I trust Melissa immensely with our beloved pets and hope to work with her again in the future!”


5. Hollie L.

“Great sitter! Attentive, caring, kind and goes above and beyond for our kitty with diabetes.”


6. Jenna D.

“Jenna is the best! This is my second time using her services and she is so kind, caring, and diligent. She even stayed an extra day when my flight was delayed. You know your fluffballs are in good hands with her!”


7. Emma B.

“Emma has done a great job of checking on our cat anytime we are out of town! She sends a lot of photos and updates, and is very easy to work with. Certainly recommend her services!”


8. Caitlin B.
“Caitlin has taken care of several of my dogs over the years. My dogs absolutely love Caitlin. She has always been easy to work with and sends updates and tons of pictures. I never have to worry about my fur babies when Caitlin watches them. They enjoy their cuddle time, play time, and their walks. Would definitely recommend Caitlin!”


9. Alanna G.
“Alanna is a compassionate and kind care provider. She is very knowledgable about dogs and cats, and has taken amazing care of my sweet old kitty. She communicates well and is very easy to work with. I am so excited that she has joined Rover and will be recommending her to my friends.”


10. Katie F.


“We love having Katie come to check on our kitty and our home while we are away. She’s reliable and communicative about our cat and anything we should know about the house. We highly recommend her!”


11. Mariah S.
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.


12. Camille K.
“Camille has an affinity for animals and a natural way of connecting with them. She is responsible, dependable, and a hard worker. Camille has a lot of personal experience from years of caring for various animals, from horses, dogs, and cats, to chickens, bunnies, goats, pigs, birds, mice, fish, and more.”


13. Kayla P.
“Kayla looked in on our fur baby while we were on vacation a few times. She was careful and kind to gain his trust and he loved playing with her and gladly accepted treats and pets. Our baby is super nervous of strangers and she seemed to put him at ease. I would highly recommend Kayla to keep your best friend safe, happy, and fed.”


14. Shaylee B.
“We have 3 miniature dachshunds and two are elderly. Shaylee has stayed with them quite a number of times (over a dozen). One of them has chronic health problems so she’s been responsible for making sure his medication is administered correctly, which she does well. Our dogs love her and it’s clear that she loves them. We’ve gotten unexpected snuggly photos and she’s gone out of her way to take them for walks. I would highly recommend Shaylee for pet sitting.”


15. Samantha G.
“Samantha is an exceptionally responsible and compassionate individual who has a genuine love for animals. Her comfort with various types of pets, particularly horses, highlights her dedication and nurturing nature, making her an ideal caregiver for any animal. I consider my animals to be like my children, and I feel completely at ease leaving them in Samantha's care.”


16. Ashley B.
“I have known ashley for several years. Not only did she help while traveling with 2 dogs and 2 cats she would always stay at my home overnight with them ! She is honest and loving to my animals and VERY reliable ! The worst thing is she moved away and I have never been able to find anyone that I trust with them as much as her!!! Do not hesitate to use Ashley and if you don’t send her back to Chicago so I can have her back !”


17. Jael H.

“Jael was so great with our two cats while we were out of town. Highly recommend her!!”


18. Emmery B.

“Thank you for looking after her. I am glad she warmed up to you quickly. She must have been content because she didn't even meet me at the garage door as usual but hanging close now. Thank you for brushing her.”


19. Danielle B.
“Danielle is a very caring and passionate person who has a heart big enough to hold love for all animals. I’ve seen her grow up with animals, and she has helped care for her family members pets while they’ve gone on vacation before!”


20. Alexa J.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Alexa as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Her dedication and genuine affection for animals are evident in the exceptional care she provides. Alexa is dependable, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to ensure pets are happy and well-cared for. Your pets will be in great hands!”
