“Trena sat for me at my home and watched my two small dogs. She’s very kind and caring and was very easy to work with. She let me know, throughout her stay, how my pups were doing and kept me updated with photos. She took great care of my two dogs and helped ease my mind. I will definitely see if she’s available again in the future.”
“Tammy followed all instructions for Arlos needs, has such a big heart for animals, and sent plenty of fun pictures of my little pup! I will 100% be asking Tammy to watch Arlo again!”
“Austen was great! Came for a meet n greet beforehand and made sure she asked everything she needed. Took great care of my dogs while I was gone. I was out of cell service most of the time, but she still sent a few photos and updates which were nice to see when I did get service. Left my home in great condition, too. Thanks so much Austen!”
“Megan took great care of Maxine. She was very communicative and kept me updated on how Max was doing along with plenty of pictures (many of which featured a happy and smiling dog) Would recommend to others and have no hesitations about booking again.”
“Morgane was very communicative and clean in our home. We were able to easily trust her with our little guy (who can sometimes be a bit anxious). We can tell he was very comfortable with her!”
“Great care on a short notice. Appreciated the updates while we were away. Would recommend Cole’s care for anyone’s pet, they will be in good hands.”
“Olivia is fantastic!! She was so great with Archie and I already plan to have her stay with him again for my next trip. She is very communicative, left my apartment in perfect condition & took such good care of Archie!”
“Taylor is fantastic! He cared for our home, very high energy golden retriever, and escape artist kitty. He’s incredibly reliable, trustworthy, excellent with communication, remembers to send pictures, and overall helped ease any anxiety I had while away. I recommend him to anyone looking for a house sitter and/or pet sitter and would book with him again in a heart beat. After a weekend away, we came back to a clean, well cared for home and happy pets.”
“Taylor was fantastic with our dogs and provided regular updates! She took the time to learn about them, meet them ahead of the stay to ensure they would be comfortable with her, and embraced their quirks as if they were her own pets! She took great care of our house as well. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have always loved animals and love being around them. I have worked on a couple farms in the last couple of years and was a “dog nanny” for a few about half a year I’m currently going into my Junior year of college and part time employed. I am free majority of the time and if away from home can easily come back to check on pets/hang out with them! I take them out to go to the bathroom as much as they need and will walk the dog multiple times a day. Can keep any schedule any pet in my care.
“Kelsie was the best sitter for our boys! She sent picture updates frequently and did a great job following our care instructions. I could tell the dogs loved her!”
About: Growing up with animals has taught me the importance of their care and well being. They are all so unique, why we love them so! I work for myself in Bozeman, therefore I have a very flexible schedule. I am available seven days a week, all time of the day! I have a very large yard right on the trails. We are close to streams for swimming and Peet’s hill for socializing, we stay entertained!
“Paige was easy to communicate with and took great care of our two dogs, cat, and home. We will definitely rebook with her for future travels!”
“Sarah did an incredible job watching our 2 dogs at our home for a few days. She was communicative, thoughtful and through. We greatly appreciated her help. Highly recommend her services.”
“Kaitlyn you were so sweet! Thanks for taking care of my pups and following instructions and leaving the house just as you came in!! ? you will definitely be used again!”
About: With years of hands-on experience, I care for pets of all breeds and ages-from playful 8-week-old puppies to senior dogs up to 20 years old. I grew up with a variety of animals and truly love doing it. I’m kind, patient, dependable, and treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a quick walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’m here to help your pet feel safe and loved! I am a new teacher who has their summer open and would love to spend free time with helping adorable animals. I want to spend more time outside and taking care of others. While I don’t currently have my own pets at home I want to respect clients home and rules. The first thing I do is understand the clients rules and routines and how they work with their pet. I want to know how they expect me to work with their pet. I want to make sure that the client feels comfortable knowing that I’m taking care of them when dog sitting in their home, having a playdate with them, or taking them for walks.
“Mae was such a great sitter! She was responsive, tidy, and took great care of our older pooch. I feel full confidence leaving my house and dog in her care.”
About: I am attentive and exited to care for your pets! I love animals and have worked on my families ranch all my life. I enjoy going on long walks with any dog: excited puppies or slow-moving-seniors! I am a student, so my schedule is very irregular! When I am free, I want to fill my time with care work and fun! I walk a lot every day and have plenty of time to stop by and check in on your pet. My transportation is reliable so going out of town is not a problem.
“This is the first time we have used Rover! Katie was great! Super understanding of our quirky Boston Terrier! Took great care of him and our kitty. Will be using her again for sure!”
“James was an excellent sitter! We were traveling from out of town for a wedding and he was very flexible and great to work with, with that added factor. He was communicative and easy to work with. Very kind and we felt great peace of mind leaving our little guy with him, thanks James!”

Matthews pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky finding Mae! She was amazing. We felt comfortable the minute we met her. Mae communicated every day, sent photos and updated us on anything going on with the house and pets. She went above and beyond with a couple extra tasks we had come up and asked her to help us with. We came home to a spotless house and happy well cared for pets :))
Kelsie was amazing! She really went above and beyond to watch our dog and take care of our home while we were away. She is extremely communicative and responsive and a pleasure to work with!
Can’t recommend Paige enough as an excellent pet sitter and human! I booked her for in-home cat care and housesitting for several days. She met with us ahead of the stay and asked great questions and was so thoughtful about our care plan for the cats and understanding how our house operated. She watched over our kitten and 7 year-old cat with their specific meal times and needs, and sent check ins and updates, putting my husband and I at ease so we could be present on our family vacation. On top of coming home to happy kitties, Paige left our home spotless and even had dishes and bedding done — above and beyond. Thank you for everything, Paige!
Kelsey was amazing with Sawyer & Juneau. Would definitely recommend if you are in need of a sitter. She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent the cutest pictures.
Cole was the best! He sent us pics and video every day, and he gave detailed feedback on what he and Bjorn were doing. It was so special to be able to enjoy vacation with complete peace of mind that our fur kid was being so well cared for! Highly recommended.
James was an excellent sitter! We were traveling from out of town for a wedding and he was very flexible and great to work with, with that added factor. He was communicative and easy to work with. Very kind and we felt great peace of mind leaving our little guy with him, thanks James!
Ella was fantastic with our pup! She communicated before, during and after her stay with her, including sending pics! We will definitely be using her again soon!
Paige did a great job with our car. He warmed up to her right away and she went out of her way to send pics and tell us how great he is. We will definitely book her again!
I highly recommend Katherine to care for your fuzzy family member. She cared for our 2 yrs active Bernadoodle in my home while we were on vacation. She took him on multiple walks and he was happy and relaxed in her care. She also was a wonderful and respectful guest in our home. Thank you, Katherine
Wow! Claire was fantastic! She stayed at our house and took such wonderful care of Goose and the house! Our dog was so chill when we came home that I knew he loved his time with Claire. I received updates and photos. She is a fabulous communicator. I will definitely book again!
Johnny was super nice to work with. He was responsive, asked questions/clarifications, and gave photo updates on how our cat and dog were doing. He kept our house very clean and respected the space. Would highly recommend!
Megan is wonderful. She took such great care of our dog, especially as this was the first time we left him with a sitter. Not only did she give him lots of attention, but she also watered my flowers and left our house tidy! I would give Megan 10 stars if I could.
Maya was great and would hire her again. Was a relief to know my dog was happy and well taken care of while I was gone!
Ava was sooo good with my pup! She took excellent care of him and he become so comfortable with her. She went above and beyond to make sure my needs and my dogs needs were met. Ava is a perfect dog sitter and I will definitely be using her again in the future!
Mackenzie took incredible care of our 2 dogs! She sent daily picture updates which was great. Our dogs were attached to her! She took great care of the house as well. We will definitely be booking her to watch our pups again when available.
She was great… She sent pictures of everybody which really makes you feel more comfortable when you’re away from your pets… We will be using her from now on.
Parker was amazing with my dog! She kept me informed with daily pictures and the house looked great when I got home. I will book Parker again!
Cassandra did a great job with our high energy dog! She sent plenty of photos and kept our home clean.
