“Gary was amazing! He took my boys on many walks and was great with active dogs. He truly takes the time to get to know each animal and it showed! It was wonderful knowing my boys were so well taken care of!”
“Ashley was a fantastic communicator and sent pupdates. I was very comfortable leaving Nova with her. They did so many fun activities. I highly recommend Ashley and would definitely go with her again.”
“Charles was a great caregiver for our Standard Poodle. This was our first time booking with him and it was for a week. Charles kept in communication with us, sending pics every so often. Our dog seemed content and happy. Upon our return she had no issues behaviorally or physically (neither did Charles!) We already have another booking with Charles and we’re completely satisfied.”
“Gina and Dave were wonderful and my dog Wilbur loved staying with them for a few days! Gina provided updates even beyond anything I had expected, made sure Wilbur got outside and they had fun relaxing at home. I would definitely recommend Gina and have them keep Wilbur again!”
“Margaret was great with Penny. Penny was pretty anxious when we left her, and Margaret helped her to feel comfortable and happy. She lives in a great spot with a fenced back yard where Penny could hang out and explore. We recommend Margaret and would definitely ask her to watch Penny again.”
“Wendy & Brian were super great with our dog Finn, both in coordination of her overnight visit and patient with us using this service for the first time. Finn was well taken care of and we felt at ease leaving Finn with Wendy & family despite her not being used to boarding or overnight visits without us. It made it easy for us to enjoy our boating trip in the Park without having to worry about Finn’s safety & comfort.”
About: I’ve had my own dogs & cats all my life and love to love them! I’ve dog sat 7 dogs at one time and they were all such happy campers! I do not currently live with all of my pets! Puhi and Bass, my cats, live with me. I am currently a full-time student and work part time at a local restaurant. I do have lots of free time where I would love to take care of some dogs and cats to fill my time. I am very aware of my surroundings when I’m in charge of other peoples animals. I can crate them if needed and walk them as much as needed, etc.
About: Since I can remember I have been around dogs, cats, and birds. I have recently adopted my own dog named Harley who is stranger reactive so I am very comfortable dealing with going at the dog's/cat's pace of comfortability. I love the outdoors and exploring with my dog as she slowly learns to trust others and new environments. Long walks and cuddles are my priority while you are away. I am currently working remotely, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! My work schedule is super flexible and easy to change if there are any last minute changes. Fenced in yard with room to play ball. Lots of room for playing or just enjoying the sun in the back yard. Triggers are blocked off by trees and the fence.
“We are incredibly grateful for Kelly and the care she gave our hard‑of‑hearing, one‑eyed dog. She watched him for eight days over a holiday on very short notice, handled his twice‑daily medication, and showed genuine kindness throughout. Her photo updates kept us at ease, and it was clear she treated him like family. We truly appreciate her.”
“This was a very positive experience, she kept in great contact with us the whole time and made me feel very comfortable leaving my babies. Sent lots of picture of them playing in the yard with the ball. My babies are home now very happy and tired. Would definitely book again!!”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Emma. Emma sent pictures through out the day and left messages to let me know how my dog was doing. I would certainly recommend you go with them for your sitting needs! It was a total relief to know my dog was in good hands while I was out of town.”
About: I have been dog sitting for about 5 years, I can manage medications or any needs your dog needs. I have one dog who is super friendly and gets along with any dogs!! I have sat in peoples houses and have kept them in my own. I take my dog on at least one walk a day and would make sure your dog got outside and has lots of play time! I have a dog of my own and I take her on a walk or throw to her daily! I let her out every 3-6 hours, and am available for different schedules! My dog is well trained but I let her on furniture and my bed. I would be willing to adjust based on each dogs needs. I live in the basement of a home and have plenty of room for a crate and some extra paws!
About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life. Two of which live with my parents back in my hometown, and we have had them since they were puppies. With both dogs, I have personally crate trained and potty trained them both, as well as trained them to sit, lay down, and wait for their food. Additionally, a fun skill one of mine has learned is to wait and lift up each leg to get his harness on. While that is all experience with my own dogs, I have also done many drop in visits and overnight sitting for other pets. I am currently work a full-time job and am available to care for your pets in the evenings during the weekdays. As for weekends, I am available for boarding at my home, walks and drop-in visits! In your home, I will make sure that your pets are comfortable with me before proceeding, as this is the most important! Additionally, if you crate your dogs, I will make sure that they get to potty, play, and have water before returning to their crate. I am always open for any special requests that you may have, such as help with training, bathing, etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Matthews
Traci was amazing. Our Walter is a senior and needs eyes drops and other medication. Traci did wonderful and I loved the photos she would send. Always replied back quickly. She really helped our trip feel less stressful knowing Walter was with her. Thank you again Traci! 😊
Haille was a wonderful sitter for our two big dogs while we were in Bozeman for a visit! She was a great communicator, sent photos, and overall took great care of the dogs while she had them. She made sure to go over everything they needed for their routine and ask all the questions specific to their individual needs. We could tell they were well taken care of. I'd definitely recommend Haille for your dog sitting needs!!
Finn provided excellent care for my dog, Titan! A major perk was the large, well-maintained backyard with solid fencing—absolutely perfect for a husky who loves being outside in cold weather while still staying safe and secure. I’d highly recommend Finn, especially for cold-loving dogs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Matthews 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 Matthews 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 Matthews.
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 Matthews. 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 Matthews 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.
