About: Hello! I am a travel nurse in between contracts, always looking a fun way to get out of the house. Being from Montana, I grew up with all sorts of animals, learning how to take care of them through 4H and all our household pets. Layla and I love going to the beach along with hiking and we would really enjoy some more company. Also, I know I hate leaving my pets home alone for too long and I would love to help anyone out with giving their dog babies plenty of attention throughout the day or overnight. Let me know what I can help you with, I look forward to meeting you.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medication, or simply providing companionship. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away, and I’ll always provide attentive care, plenty of love, and updates so you can have peace of mind. I am currently a student at Montana State University, and my class schedule is very flexible, with classes lasting no more than two hours at a time. This allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I am also an active member of a sorority at Montana State. My sorority commitments are typically just 1–2 hours each week, and I plan my schedule carefully to ensure they never interfere with providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being will always be my top priority. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the same respect I would my own. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I always make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and in good hands.
About: I am a current senior at Montana State and work at the hospital part-time. I have been pet sitting for family and friends for about 5 years now and love animals. While most my experience is with dog and puppies, I am open to cat sitting as well. I am available for house sitting, walks, or even drop-in visits. I would love to chat more so please reach out if you are interested in having me care for your animals! Pet care is a part-time job for me, as I am also a college student and work part-time at the hospital. I make my own work schedule, so if you reach out to me in advance I can make more availability if necessary for your pets. I am available evenings and weekends! I care for pets in my client's home, as my residence does not allow animals. I am available for overnight care, drop-in visits, and daily outings. Reach out to me if you are interested in learning more about my services!
“Taylor took great care of Bailey while I was away! He took her on nice long walks and sent a bunch of updates and pictures. She was immediately comfortable with him which says a lot!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one — I grew up with everything from spirited poodles to goofy Portuguese Water Dogs to stubborn, sausage-shaped dachshunds, so I’ve got a soft spot for every size, coat, and personality quirk. That early exposure turned into a real passion, and I’ve been professionally walking and sitting dogs since I was 18. I’m an active, outdoorsy person, and I bring that energy to every walk and visit — plenty of play, exploration, and enthusiasm, tailored to whatever your dog is into (fetch fanatic, sniff-everything explorer, or couch cuddler, I’m here for it). What I love most about this work is getting to know each dog as an individual: their quirks, their personalities, their little routines. I treat every dog in my care like my own 🐶🩷 I just moved here and have nothing but time! I am doing some research part time from home, but will have lots of time for your pet :) I know inviting someone into your home to care for your dog is a big trust to extend, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m highly educated, reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented — I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, keep your home just as tidy as I found it, and send you photo and video updates so you’re never left wondering how things are going. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority: I’m careful with doors and gates, attentive to any anxiety or health needs, and quick to reach out if anything ever seems off. You can relax knowing your dog — and your home — are in good hands.
About: Hi all! I am originally from Bozeman and grew up with dogs- I enjoy going for walks and going to dog parks as well as just cuddling on the couch! I am a full time employee at the hospital and can easily do drop in walks or visits and will only accept jobs where I can meet the level of care your pet needs. I treat pets like a part of my family- since I am a renter I am unable to board animals at my house but would follow any guidelines set up by a client to make their pet feel like they are with family.
“Linda has been great in helping us get our puppy outside while we are at work. Ringo loves her and I feel very comfortable having her come over to play/walk him. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’m a calm, patient sitter who truly loves animals. I have experience with puppy training basics and providing attentive senior care, including medications and mobility support, and I always tailor care to each pet. I am currently a junior at Montana State University, and my class schedule varies depending on the day. I also work at Texas Roadhouse, where my hours can vary as well. However, I am more than happy to be flexible and work around schedules as needed! One of my roommates, who is on the MSU Women’s Basketball team often leaves for away games has me look after her pet. I refill the water and automatic food feeder as well as let him hang out in my room so he isn’t alone.
“Abby is very personable and easy to connect with. These qualities make for a great walker especially when it comes to hiring strangers to walk your fur baby. She’s been great with my (very territorial) 5 year old Aussie shepherd and I wish I’d found her sooner!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since i was very little. Friends and Family have needed me to walk, feed and love their pets. I am experienced with every sized dog and cat. I am currently studying at Montana State University for Equine Science, so I have lots of experience! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to love your pets! I am available almost every single day of the week! I have 2 dogs and four cats at my house, they are all nurtured and can be separated if your pet doesn’t like others. I can easily provide running space in my fenced yard, and i have many pet supplies on hand.
About: I love animals and have a ton of experience! I will put your fur baby above my own any day of the week! Reach out when you need some extra hands to take care of you pet! I am a full time student and I am on the volleyball team so managing practice time around the pet is important but very easy to work around. I go on daily walks with my dog. He’s a border collie mix. His name is Byrd and she is super sweet. I live in an apartment complex with doggy parks and a dog wash station!
About: Owner of two dogs - an Alaskan shepherd and a corgi! Two very different personalities and needs have led me to be very practiced in dog card. I love all creatures big and small and will always treat your pets like my own. I work remotely for a local company so am available all times of the work day. I have a few extracurricular activities for about an hour or so on Wednesdays and Thursdays, otherwise I am open. As a pet owner, I love communication, update, and photos from people who watch my pets and I strive to always do the same. Walks and enrichment time are my forte.
About: I have had high energy dogs mostly heelers and love to take them outside for adventures. It helps me bond with them and teach them to be social. I currently work evenings and bring my our dog out for walks all the time during the day. I love taking him to the dog park and hiking and have room to bring others with me. I mostly take my dog to the dog park and leash him when I take him hiking. I would be able to bring another dog with us when we adventure.
About: Hi I’m Natalee! 👋 I will love your pup like my own! 😊 I am flexible with hours, can take your dog on walks/runs outside, and will ensure that your pet is happy and safe. I love the outdoors, so if your dog does too, we will get along wonderfully! I am responsible and friendly and very active. I’ve watched all types of dogs, from puppies to senior pets, and have the most experience with high energy and high activity dogs. Let me know whatever special needs your pet may require, and I will do my very best to meet those needs. I also offer cat care and will be sure to take the best care of your pet! I love snuggling with cats and making sure they get the attention they want and deserve! I can work remote, which is great for extra snuggles with your pet and making sure your house is taken care of while you’re gone. I never leave a dog at home for more than 5 hours when I’m pet sitting. Most of my stays have been word of mouth, so happy to give you a reference if you need! I care for your dog as I do my own- pets are family!
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior dog, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on weekdays. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with pets, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship and care while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and closely follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. In your home, I treat your space with respect and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have had many dogs growing up and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I have dog sat for many friends, family, and coworkers and am looking to provide the same service to you. My current housing will not allow pets, which of course, leaves me needing my fix of K-9 time. I work as a bartender, server and cook at the Olive Garden and mostly my shifts there start around four. So if you have a pug, bulldog, jack russel, german shepherd, lab, poodle, border collie, sheep dog, pit bull, doberman, wolf, direwolf, husky, cat, St. Bernard, Shitzu, husky, golden retriever, or any other animal that needs attention, walking, or just a friend, give me a call! Looking forward to making new furry friends!
About: I’ve taken care of family friends, neighbors, and friends pets, which includes feeding, walking, and giving them love!! I have over 8 years of experience and I can provide references! I am currently taking classes online part time, but don’t worry, I still have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends during the day! I have a fenced in yard and my next door neighbors do not own pets. There are also lots of walking trails in my neighborhood.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Matthews. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Matthews.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Matthews. On Rover:
- 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
