“Tressa is truly amazing. We had an AWFUL experience with another (non-rover) sitter and I had true PTSD with leaving them with someone else. Tressa ensured her communication was precise, she sent multiple photos and videos daily, took my dogs on hikes and walks, and left the house spotless. There is a reason she is booked out for months!!! I cannot recommend her high enough!!!”

“Emily was absolutely perfect with my boys. When i returned home the house was clean and dogs were very happy! She sent me pictures of the boys every day and i loved that. I would highly recommend Emily 👍🏻”

“Britney was amazing with our dogs. We needed a dog sitter with relatively short notice and she made a point to visit prior to the stay to meet our dogs and take notes about their care. She gave updates and photos of the dogs each day and left our house in great shape. I highly recommend Britney as a responsible and attentive dog sitter. Thank you!!”
“Leilani did excellent, the dogs and cats were well taken care of. She followed our written instructions and was great at keeping us updated on how things were going. The home was taken care of very well and we will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Naomi was a fantastic sitter! She stayed at our house for several days and did a great job keeping our very active Vizsla entertained, sending us updates and photos too. When we got home, our pup was happy and tired, and everything in the house was neat and in order. We’d absolutely recommend her!”

“Lilli kept our dog for a week at our house. She did an amazing job. Gave our doggo lots of exercise and companionship. We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. I have no hesitations in recommending her!”

“Madison did a great job watching our pups in our home. She did a good job keeping me informed how the puppies were doing! She was kind enough to stay with pups. She left my house in perfect condition. I’d highly recommend her!”

“Kate was great! We received a photo and an update nearly everyday. Our old dog can be energetic one day and sluggish the next, and Kate was willing to meet her where she was at each day. We appreciated all the extra care and attention to her needs.”
“Sarah was great with Shiloh. She is an amazing person who loves animals. Sarah sent pictures everyday so we could see him play and have fun. I would recommend Sarah highly as she cares for your pet , ad if it were her own pet. Sarah is Terrific. Thank you so much for all you did for Shiloh, he was well taken care of and loved by all. Also thank you Bodhi for playing with Shiloh . You all are amazing”
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: 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!
“Vanessa has been great for us and our pets. She is very knowledgeable and professional and her care and attention for all our animals has been outstanding. She keeps in communication and sends photos throughout each visit, which has been a big plus. ”

About: Hi there! I’m Shaylee. I love all kinds of animals. I grew up with dogs and bunnies, and took horseback riding lessons as a kid. My family bred several litters of Golden Retrievers, so I’m familiar and comfortable with puppies. I have my own sweet pup, Birdie. She loves to swim, hike and play fetch. I often help out with friends’ pets, and would love to care for others! I’ve cared for reactive dogs in the past, and am open to any additional measures I may need to take to ensure everyone’s comfort. I’m confident in my ability to keep your pet safe and happy. I’m about to begin a grad program at MSU and will have classes Monday and Wednesday through the summer. Other than that, I’m pretty flexible! I know each animal is unique in what they need to be happy and healthy, and I follow all instructions to a T to make sure they get the care they need. I also certainly watch for concerning behavior or symptoms that may indicate illness or distress, and will always check in if I think something’s up. I’ll treat your animal like my own!
About: My sister calls me the animal whisperer, for some reason, dogs and cats trust me easily. I’ve dog and cat sat for numerous families over the last 12 years. My neighbors knew me as the designated pet sitter-I am comfortable with small dogs, large dogs, dobermans, pits, boxers, playful cats, and timid cats! For the last 2 years, I have 3 clients at the Yellowstone club and am only recently trying to expand my clientele in Bozeman. I work very part time at a coffee shop, so I am available in the afternoon to evening to walk and feed pets. I am available for boarding occasionally depending on the need! I have an unfenced yard, but have parks very close to my house that I walk to on a daily. I love to run and can take the dogs with me! I have one roommate, we are a calm and smoke free household.
