“Zeus has an amazing time. He came home happy and tired from so much fun. I really liked that he was with other dogs and kids to keep him socialized.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for families for 2 decades. I love all dogs and am reliable, experienced, and ready to entertain them! I am able to care for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I’m currently transitioning jobs so I have plenty of free time to walk or check in on your dog/s. If you feel your dog needs a playdate, I am happy to bring my friendly dog Maple along to play. I’m a believer in keeping consistency with your pet while you’re absent. Clear instructions on how you run your pet care is best. I trust your judgement and will follow your guidelines to the best of my ability while making sure your fur baby is having a good time!

“Jael is the absolute best. She is professional, kind, and great with communication. And the best part, our pup loves her and always comes home happy and healthy. Can’t recommend her enough.”


“Erica is AMAZING! Rosie had the best day. Erica took here on several walks and provided photo updates of every experience. I will always use Erica for my Rover needs when I’m in town.”


“Heather and her family are the most amazing and supportive people. She makes sure our pup is well-exercised and taken care of. Any time I pick him up (7 mo old heeler puppy), he falls asleep in the car. I appreciate Heather so much for the time she takes with our boy and helping him feel even more loved. She is also very understanding and flexible, which I am very appreciative of.”


“Mateo had a great time with Savannah. I loved that she sent pictures and kept me updated without even having to be asked. He required some special care due to medical issues and Savannah was more than willing to accommodate. Very friendly and Mateo left doggy day care tired and happy. Will definitely use her services again the next time I need a sitter!”


About: Hello!! I absolutely love animals and have had both cats and dogs my whole life. I used to take care of our family lab, German shepherd and kitten for months at a time by myself all while working a full time job. I am very reliable, trustworthy and experienced! I’m currently working full time, however I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available most weekends and most days of the week. I live in a 3 bedroom townhouse with an upstairs/downstairs. I have an open (unfenced) backyard that is connected to two other townhomes to my left and an house to my right with an open side yard as well. I care for each pet by introducing them to my area with a safe, welcoming and happy demeanor so they will feel right at home.

“Our dog, Saba, found a new friend, ember. Lauren told us that they were playing all the time. Thanks Lauren. We will definitely come back.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs , cats, horses and many more animals for years. I’ve also owned dogs and cats for many years and take pride in my ability to love and care for animals. I’m available when you need someone to care for your animals. I work, but that doesn’t stop me from taking care of animals. As an owner I understand the importance of animals and care needed for them. I’m always at dog friendly places where they can run and get all that energy out, I train on ecollars and have worked well for me, no dog has ever been harmed in my care and I take such pride in that.

About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, turtles, fish) since I was a baby. I’ve also pet sat for senior pets, pets with specific medication needs, and homes with several pets at the same time. I work from home, so I’m available almost all weekdays for dog care! My schedule is relatively flexible. I typically only leave the house during the week for an hour long workout 2x/week. I have a large fenced yard in Belgrade with a friendly border collie mix named Dean. I am happy to crate your pet if needed.

“Vanessa is the best, she is the first Rover I used and I saw my dog having a great time with her. And she sent me a lot of cute pictures!! Def will be using here again.”

About: I would love to watch your active friendly pup! I work from home during the day and am available to be with your cutie pie all day long. I have two active dogs of my own who need walks daily so we’re always out for a walk, hike, run, or bike ride after work. We spoil our dogs at our house and your dog will get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I grew up with black labs my whole life. When I moved to Bozeman in 2013 I started watching dogs for friends, family, and others before I got my own. I am still the go-to for all my friends and regularly watch their dogs. Because I watch so many dogs for friends I figured it was time to expand to others and get on Rover! We have a 5 year old black lab and a 7 year old Bracco Italiano. They are goofballs and love bugs and get along with everyone. I work from home and am around all day to care for your dogs. I have two friendly dogs of my own who lounge on the couch or roam in the yard during the day. We have a large fenced in yard where the dogs are free to roam around and play. Most days I take the dogs out for a hike or walk after work.

About: I live in downtown Belgrade with my husband. We have a large fenced in yard at .4 acres and a doggie door. We have two wonderful dogs; a mini Aussie and golden retriever pit lab mix. I have worked with children and animals since I was old enough to handle the responsibility and started volunteering at Heart of the Valley animal shelter in Belgrade, MT. I grew up in a typical suburb in St. Louis, Missouri and always helped watch neighbors pets and children and have done it through college, post college, and presently speaking. I am extremely reliable and timely. I treat others loved ones as my own. I don’t have any allergies to pets, dander, etc. I have regular clients through word of mouth and am looking to add a few to my roster. I love watching all types of animals! I work for myself and make my own schedule. I have a lot of flexibility and love spending time with animals and being outdoors. My dogs are very friendly and love to play. I am very active. If you request house sitting I can’t be there 24/7. I enjoy hiking everyday and hope your dogs can come with me. I understand some folks want their dogs to stay at their home I just want to share I will still need to be gone parts of the day taking care of my dogs as well as other daily life tasks. I prefer boarding at my home overall but can accommodate house sitting. I have a separate, personal, insurance plan for pet daycare & boarding, with expanded coverage for client pets. I am happy to share my certificate including all limits for general liability, vet care, human medical coverage, damage to property, and more. I also know how to perform CPR on pets.


“Bonnie took wonderful care of our dog Penny! This was our first experience with Rover, and we were a bit anxious about it overall. Bonnie kept us up to date with how Penny was doing and even sent photos to let us know how she was doing. We couldn’t have asked for someone better to take care of our pup!”


About: I have trained bird dogs professionally for six years and I love all dogs. I have the ability to take care of any pets that require extra care. During the hunting season I take care of seven dogs at a time. I'm willing to go the extra mile to give you peace of mind that your pet is getting the care it deserves. Currently I have a wide open schedule. I am hunting and fishing guide in between work seasons. I will be training two puppies this spring and have plenty of time and a flexible schedule. I have a four year old lab that is living the good life. We have a fenced in back yard with a doggy door. There is a fenced in park two blocks away and a dog park less than two miles away. I exercise my dog daily. Pets are welcome on the furniture in my home as well. I also have several different sized crates if your pet requires them.

“I would give Elizabeth and John a million stars. They were fantastic. They were very friendly and flexible with time. We were staying close to Yellowstone and they met us half way every day which was a huge time saver!! Their dogs are super friendly and has a large and secure back yard. Also, the biggest doggy door I've ever see !! My Maxi had a great time. If i am ever in area again, i would definitely hire them again. Thanks guys!!”


About: I have been dog sitting, house sitting and baby sitting for about 12 years!. I can handle any size dog and any temperament too! I can drop by on my lunch breaks. I have tons of love and respect for animals and I am hoping to get active with dog walking and help out those in my community. Please do not hesitate to reach out and ask for my availability. I have tons of experience with all animals Of all ages including dogs, cats, horses, fish, reptiles and rabbits, mice and rats. I work in an office but I can come let out animals on my lunch breaks anytime between 11-2 pm. Which ever works for you! I have a fenced in yard, I walk my dog around my neighborhood. I love taking dogs on safe trails and hikes but my dog is too old now to go far. I respect any type of care you wish to give your pets. I feed her the best dog food and treat her like the princess she is.

About: My husband Nick and I are both home full-time, offering double the love and attention for your pets! Not only have we grown up with dogs and cats, but we are also proud pet parents to our rescue dog, Stanley, and rescue cat, Finn. Stanley was court-ordered removed from his previous home and spent 5 months in shelters, giving us specialized experience managing and rehabilitating severe separation anxiety. Finn has undergone two major surgeries, providing us hands-on experience with medication administration, post-operative care, and supporting pets through recovery. This background gives us unique insight into caring for animals with special needs or challenging histories. We understand different temperaments, energy levels, and how to build trust with traumatized pets. Our experience includes daily care, medical management, and creating safe, enriching environments. We have everything needed to make your pet comfortable - including a large crate, plenty of toys, and treats. We treat each pet as family, providing personalized attention, consistent routines, and the patience needed to work through anxiety or trust issues. As a recent master's graduate taking some time off while job hunting, I'm currently home full-time, offering exceptional availability for your pet care needs. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent, attentive care whether you need regular daily walks, midday check-ins, or boarding. I can accommodate early morning, evening, and weekend requests with ease. We provide a secure, loving environment for pets in our care. While we do not have a back yard, we live across the street from a large park that we take our dog to daily and also have access to a fenced dog park in our apartment complex where dogs can safely play under supervision. We have a well-socialized dog who makes an excellent companion for social pets. Since we also have a cat, if your dog will be staying with us my only request is that they are also cat friendly. For those needing space, we are experienced with crate training (we have one if needed) and creating separate areas. In clients' homes, I maintain their established routines while ensuring doors/gates remain secure. My rescue experience has taught me to watch for stress signals, and I always respect each pet's individual boundaries and needs. I'm attentive to potential hazards and keep harmful items out of reach. I also provide regular photo updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away.

“Tucker had a great time this week hanging out with Sarah and her family as well as her dog Jo Jo! Tucker and Jo Jo became fast friends and were such a great fit, playing all day. I highly recommend Sarah and look forward to reaching out again soon.”

My dog has anxiety with loud noises (thunderstorms, fireworks, high winds) and I feel completely comfortable knowing that Jenna will make sure she is OK during these times. My dog also can react to other dogs on the hiking trail, but Jenna is familiar with her e-collar and recall training, and I feel totally comfortable leaving her, knowing she will be happy, safe, well exercised, and loved! She is excellent with animals in general, and she works from home which is really nice...your pup will be in great company. Jenna also has 2 sweet dogs that Gal loves as well, an added bonus. I highly recommend Jenna 10/10 as a dog sitter and care giver.”

I wish she still lived in California! She would be a great employee and will definitely put as much care and attention into your furry friend as she does her realitonships.”
