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.
About: I have grown up with pets all my life and loved every second of it and wanted to incorporate animals into my life more since moving away. I have cared for many different breeds and sizes of dogs and loved every second of it. I am reliable, punctual and love going to walks or any type of play they want. I ensure your pet’s safety and happiness, as a happy dog is the best sight to see. I am currently an engineering student with classes until 2 pm at the latest. If your pets ever needs an early walk I am open on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays before 11am. Aside from that I am free on weekends whenever needed and I’m always open to last minute walks or anything I could help you with. I will prioritize your pets routine by strictly following any and all care instructions, the more specific the better. When in your home, I ensure everything stays clean and secure. I also love sending photo updates to show you how much fun your pet is having while you’re away! I will answer texts/calls promptly to keep you comfortable and up to date with anything you need.
“Savannah was incredible! She showed up on time and spent extra time on her walk with Layka. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future. In her meet and greet (introduction) she asked very pointed questions and had a great follow up. She treats your pet like her own and shows you right away that she cares about your animal.”

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: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! Living in the same neighborhood during my childhood, I was the go-to pet sitter on the street. I love creating a safe and loving space for animals, and ensuring you enjoy your time away knowing your pet is taken care of! I’m currently working M-F at a coffee shop but my hours vary depending on the day. I can be free at any time! I live in town, super close to most places. I have my own transportation and reliability ready to go to provide trustworthy, consistent, and safe care for your family.

About: I have over 3 years of experience working in a pet boarding/ daycare facility and about 2 1/2 years of pet sitting/ walking before. I have IBSA certifications in canine breeds, body language and communication in animals, and customer service/ management. I also learned how to administer medications and keep the pets engaged in enrichment throughout the day as well as keeping the facility clean. I have also had a great opportunity to volunteer at a local humane society over the summer. I am currently a full time student at Montana State University pursuing a bachelors degree in microbiology in the prevet track, so I will need to work around my school schedule however I’m open to figure out times that work best for the animals. As someone with hands-on experience working at a pet resort, I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and routine so I can provide care that works best for them. During drop-in visits, I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention, depending on each owner's instructions. For dog walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, staying aware of our surroundings, and following each owner's preferences. I respect every client's home and always make sure pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind while they're apart!
About: I’ve grown up with energetic dogs my entire life and have a lot of dog sitting and walking experience with many different breeds. I’ll ensure nothing but tail wags! I currently work a part time job, so will have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed and give lots of scratches to your pup I can follow any necessary schedule or instructions for pups and aim to eliminate any stress for you or your dog throughout the day. I even make healthy homemade dog treats!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years and love what I do! I have also owned cats, dogs and many other animals of my own. I have experience with puppies, kittens and also senior care. I provide walking, drop in and sitting care I currently work Monday-Thursday during the day which makes me available for any and all weekend/weeknight care needs! I am also available to stay in your home overnight for pets with a greater need for care. When caring for your pets, I emphasize keeping you in the loop. I like to provide updates/pictures to ease your mind while you enjoy your time away from home.

“Olivia was great with Charlie! She was timely in both her response time to messages and arriving to my house to care for my dog 😊 I hope to rebook with her in the future!”

“Hannah was extremely valuable as a last minute reservation for dog walking! She communicated very well and treated our pups with all the attention and love. Would definitely book her again in the future!”

“Val was so prompt and reliable when picking Evie up from my workplace, and the two of them had a lovely walk! This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t recommend Val more. Evie clearly had a great time, and I’ll definitely be booking with Val again!”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up my entire life! I love to take care and hangout with them! I also love to go on walks with dogs! I’m currently a student at Montana state university! My week schedule is decently open so I have a lot of flexibility. Some weekends I out of town but I am able to stay in Bozeman if need be! I care for animals like they are my own! I care about their safety and well being. I also make sure they get what they need activity wise.

About: Hi! I have a year of experience volunteering at Heart of the valley animal shelter here in Bozeman, as well as several years of dog/house sitting! Additionally, I have experience working in a senior care center for individuals with dementia. I’m currently working part time and a college student, which means I have some flexibility in my schedule! I’m available Monday and Wednesday 12:30-2:00 and anytime after 4:30. Tuesday and Thursday I’m available anytime before 8am and anytime after 5:45pm. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priority. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and any special requests. During walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, locking doors, and leaving everything just as I found it.
About: I absolutely love and adore all dogs! I grew up with a border collie and cared for her when she got old! I also have a 4 year old border collie and am not new to the puppy phases! :) I have dog sat for many of my neighbors growing up and since then. I am happy to meet you and your dog! Like I said I am a pet owner and work a full time job. So I have nothing short of a busy life, but I would love to add your fur friend to my agenda! :) The dogs will go out and play multiple times a day as I have the yard space to allow fetch, chase, or even just lounging. I live in a ground level apartment with an unfenced yard. There is plenty space between the yard and the road, which isn’t a very busy one anyway, but your pet will be safe from any cars, etc. I live about a 5-10 minute walk from Gallatin Regional Dog Park, so if your fur friend needs a fenced in space to run and play, that is an option as well! I also love to explore new parks around town and go on hikes so plenty of adventures will be in place! We will check out different dog parks, go swimming (if that’s what they like), go on hikes, play fetch, go on car rides, and of course cuddle! Nova (my dog) and I live a very busy lifestyle. When I am not at work, we (including your furry friend) will be going on hikes, camping trips, water days, car rides, visit my parents (up in the mountains), or just hang out in the backyard and play. We don’t always go on big adventures as I have plenty of yard space for the dogs to roam freely and run and exercise as needed. *If you are uncomfortable with your pet doing any of these things, please communicate ahead of time or expect some activities to occur.
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.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Matthews is $33 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 per walk.

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 Matthews. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Matthews after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
