“Charles is very friendly and kind... he even gave my pup a toy!! He is quick to respond and walked by dog and played with him every hour or so. Charles has a clean and tidy home. I will definitely have Charles watch my dog again!”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life and truly love them. I love puppies, senior dogs, and any pup in between! I am willing to do walks, meds, or whatever your furry friend needs! I am a stay at home mom of 3 sweet girls, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available most days and times for meet and greets and drop offs I have a fenced yard and a 1yo spayed Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lady! I have a two story home with a gate to block the stairs. I have a small sized doggy door so the dogs are able to be in and out as they please!
“Naomi and her cat duchess were so good to my senior dog Cody. He was very happy and totally at ease when I went to pick him up. This was a last minute booking and Naomi was great about it. Would highly recommend her.”
“Do you know that feeling when you leave town and you leave your dog with someone and you have no idea how it’s going to go, so you can’t really relax and enjoy yourself? Yeah, I thankfully never had that feeling when I left my dog Blue with Christa and Marek this weekend. ☺️ From the moment I met them, I knew my fluffy buddy would be in excellent and capable hands for the time we were away. They give off such a positive and warm energy, and our dog immediately gravitated towards them, even right after their introduction. Christa was informative and sent me pictures to update me on how Blue was doing. They also did a great job of keeping Blue active and taking him on walks because we all know a tired dog is a happy dog! Their dog is also a sweetheart, and I’m sure Blue was happy to have a buddy. We are grateful to have met them and would love to use them sometime in the near future! Thank you both for taking such excellent care of our fluffy buddy!”
“Eliza was truly amazing. She was super easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating. Nina seemed to love staying with her and her adorable dog, Gus. Thank you so much, Eliza!”
“Carlee was awesome to have as a last minute booking for our tiny dog (~6 lbs). Not only does she work at a veterinarian's office but she also makes homemade dog treats! I would use her again and would recommend.”
About: I love dogs and try to include them in everything I do, hikes, farm chores, etc. I’m studying to become a vet so I can’t commit to my own dog long term. However, I have been fostering puppies and caring for pets for years. I specialize in puppy care, potty training, commands and socializing. I am currently taking classes through Montana State. However I space out my schedule to have plenty of time to care for your pets. I don’t love when dogs are left inside for long periods of time and prioritize getting them out of the house for the majority of the day. I live on a 20 acre farm property where your pet will have plenty of room to roam. There is a pond on property if you pet loves swimming. There is a small portion of the property that is fenced, however due to having mules on the property, I will never leave your dog outside unattended. We have a super energetic friendly pup who always loves to play if your pet is up for it. I love hiking, running, walking and try to include the pups in all of that.
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I currently own a cat, and I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends. Additionally, my time volunteering at an animal shelter gave me great practical skills—from feeding and cleaning up after cats to watering, exercising, and safely walking dogs of all sizes. Because I limit my apartment boarding to just one or two pets, your fur baby will get focused, one-on-one attention in a calm environment. As a student who also works, my daily routine is structured but flexible. I am fully available for morning and evening care, and I balance my schedule so I can easily fit in midday check-ins, walks, and drop-in visits between my classes and shifts. Because I manage my time carefully, pet care fits naturally into my day, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention and regular potty breaks right on schedule. In my home, safety and a low-stress environment are my top priorities. Because I live in an apartment with my own cat, I only board one or two pets at a time, ensuring they get dedicated one-on-one attention and have plenty of space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow the owner's exact instructions regarding their routine, feeding schedules, and safety boundaries. Whether at my home or yours, I always double check that doors and gates are secure, maintain a calm atmosphere, and keep a close eye on body language to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
About: I care for every pet as if they were my own - offering love, patience, and gentle attention in every moment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cozy cuddles, I make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Kindness and trust are my priorities, as I struggled trusting someone with my own pet for a long time! Here to answer any questions or any special requests you may have. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, I am able to care for your pet on week days and weekends. I really try to prioritize time with your pet so they’re not alone, I will bring my book and sit with your pet for the allotted time, or whatever toy request! I will be very transparent with the times I am with your pet & send photos! I personally love walks as well. This does vary based on the service, however, in home I have a large fenced in yard that is regularly cared for and scoped out. We also have a very walkable neighborhood, that was utilize daily. If your pet does any tricks, I love to provide some enrichment as well for them. I also love sitting with them and providing care however makes them most comfortable.
“Our pup was very well cared for, he was very happy when we got home. Loved the updates and pics during the week. It was very reassuring and we’ll definitely board again! Thank you for such great care.”
“This was Olivia's second time watching Gal. She was wonderful, and even kept her an extra night when I got stuck in Big Sky due to an overturned semi truck on the road. She was very understanding, communicative and kind. THANK YOU so much. I know Gal was in great hands.”
“Lillian was a fantastic sitter for our dogs, and everything we could ask for. She provided consistent and clear communication, photos and videos, and she made sure to exercise them multiple times a day. I would highly recommend Lillian to anyone.”
“Emma did a great job with my pup. She took him for several walks and even went hiking up the M. She kept in touch with me and sent several pictures. I’ll definitely be using her again.”
“Joe was an incredible dog sitter for our pup Ranger. We got so many daily updates and pictures of many walks and trips to the dog park, and Ranger especially had a blast playing with Joe’s sweet dog Ellie. We would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to board their dog in the Bozeman area!”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life and have taken care of friends and neighbor's dogs for as long as I can remember. I thoroughly enjoy dogs [and cats] and will show your pets the same amount of love I would show my own! I work a hybrid flexible schedule. I can be available when necessary and will happily schedule around pet sitting. I am almost always available from early morning through early evening. I have a quarter acre fenced yard and a silver lab that loves play dates! We live in a split level so we do have stairs going up or down. We takes lots of walks to the local park and dog park and throw the ball as often as we can!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Manhattan 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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Manhattan. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
You and your Manhattan 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
