“Megan is always so patient with Norman, even with his stranger anxiety. She always goes the extra mile in making sure he's safe and happy. I feel lucky to have found Megan!”

“Even before our booking, Savannah was thorough and showed her care for our pets. She asked great questions and was sure to understand our pets needs. During our time away, she was communicative and put us at ease!”


“Bailey did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy. She was caring, attentive to his needs and kept us in the loop through out the stay. She also brought in the packages off our front porch when she arrived..not required but much appreciated. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have always loved animals I have a 7 year old lab that I have been taking care of since we got him. I have always had a heart for animals I walk my dog at least once a day 7 times a week and I feed him and put fresh water in his bowl. When I have to I’ll give him a bath too I have a couple neighbors that always go out of town and I watch there dogs for them. And have never had any trouble with that
“We recently got a puppy to go along with our older dog and Nicolas handled both with ease! He communicated well and the dogs were worn out and happy. He’s my first call to help with dogs.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for essentially my whole life! I grew up with 3 small dogs in Davidson, North Carolina, then continued freelance dog sitting throughout undergrad and now grad school at MSU in Bozeman. I’m studying environmental microbiology, and because I’m not sure what my postgrad steps are yet, I am hesitant to get a dog of my own. So, I’d love to be an aunt to as many Bozeman pets as possible! I have taken care of dozens of dogs and cats for my close friends, professors, managers, and strangers. I have no problem with overnight visits due to my flexible schedule, and I’m an avid runner (I ran track and cross country in college) so I’m happy to help dogs get their zoomies out. I can run with high energy dogs if you’re tight on time one day or your pup needs more than a walk. I’d love to wear out your dawgs! As a grad student, I have more flexibility than standard 9-5ers, but often need to spend a big chunk of the day in the lab. I’m usually able to leave around lunch, but weekdays typically require me to be gone for a few hours at a time. However, weekends are very flexible, and I am almost always available for overnights and have lots of time in the evenings and mornings for walks/runs. Sometimes I have periods of more writing and computer work, and during those times I can be at home with fur babies for more of the day. Unfortunately I can’t board pets due to my landlord’s rules, but when I sit in others’ homes, I usually exercise pets in the morning and in the evening (since I also have to get my zoomies out) and send pet pictures daily, though I can do this more frequently upon request. I am generally very flexible, responsive, and receptive to whatever pet owners’ preferences are!
“Matthew was great watching my cats while I was out of town. Excellent communicator - always let me know when he was stopping by so I could have the peace of mind my little dudes were alright.”
“Marina took great care of my two feline floofs, getting them to emerge from their shyness to cuddle & play. She is very engaging, professional, communicative, and responsible, and she clearly loves animals. I look forward to hiring Marina for future sits.”

About: I’ve taken care and grown up with dogs since I’ve been 4 years old. I have grown up with large dogs, small dogs, anxious, bad behaved and well behaved dogs. I’ve trained all my dogs growing up. Taking care of young puppies and senior pups. I am currently a full time student at Montana state. I only have classes Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, from 9am-12. So I can drop in, walk your critters anytime after! I work Tuesday, Thursdays from 9-3 so anytime after that would work. And I am free every weekend! I can easily crate your dog if needed, feed them and take them on walks! Or if your animal is just needed or some company I am available for all!

About: Since I was young I have always loved dogs. I lost my 12 year old Alaskan Malamute a few years ago and would love to help with other dogs to feel the void of missing my buddy. I love hiking so if your dog needs to burn some extra energy I would gladly take your dog on a hike. I work nights as a server Tuesday-Saturday. The longest stretch of time I’m usually at work would be 3pm-9/930pm. I have fairly open availability with adequate notice. I would love to take your dog on a hike, to the dog park, or on a walk! I live in an apartment that unfortunately does not allow pets, but I'm happy to take them to a dog park or on a hike or hangout with them at your place.

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 at a coffee shop, the shop closes at 2, leaving my afternoon and nights open to spending time with your furry family members! I live in town, nice and close to most places. I have my transportation and reliability ready to go to provide trustworthy, consistent, and safe care for your family.

About: I've had dogs since I was young, and got to raise my pup when I was in high school. I love being around animals and giving love, attention, and care. I love to be outside with dogs, whether is be going on a walk, throwing a ball, or enjoying some fresh air together. I'm currently a student at MSU and work twice a week at a workout studio. But my schedule is pretty open in afternoon and on the weekends. I have plenty of time each day to go on walks and care for your pet. I am attentive on making sure your pet is well cared for while I am with them. I am responsible and reliable when following expectations or specific rules and routines you have for your pet. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting with my Westie, then my tortoiseshell cat, and now my energetic Border Collie/Heeler mix. Having pets with different personalities and needs has taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and dedicated care. I’m a safe, trustworthy person who truly enjoys making animals feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I’m also very active and love running, hiking, and biking, so I’m especially great with energetic dogs who need lots of exercise and engagement. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. I’m currently a substitute teacher in Bozeman, and pet sitting through Rover is a meaningful way for me to supplement my income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Working in schools has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to detail, which naturally carry over into the way I care for animals. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I live right along a park, so daily walks are already a big part of my routine with my Border Collie/Heeler mix. My dog is very friendly, active, and would love to have some new walking buddies from time to time. We spend a lot of time outside exploring trails, getting exercise, and enjoying fresh air, so your dog would get plenty of activity, attention, and companionship while in my care. If you would NOT like your furry friend to have a companion, please let me know, and I can accomodate whatever routines you have.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I currently own a cat, and I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends. Additionally, my time volunteering at an animal shelter gave me great practical skills—from feeding and cleaning up after cats to watering, exercising, and safely walking dogs of all sizes. Because I limit my apartment boarding to just one or two pets, your fur baby will get focused, one-on-one attention in a calm environment. As a student who also works, my daily routine is structured but flexible. I am fully available for morning and evening care, and I balance my schedule so I can easily fit in midday check-ins, walks, and drop-in visits between my classes and shifts. Because I manage my time carefully, pet care fits naturally into my day, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention and regular potty breaks right on schedule. In my home, safety and a low-stress environment are my top priorities. Because I live in an apartment with my own cat, I only board one or two pets at a time, ensuring they get dedicated one-on-one attention and have plenty of space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow the owner's exact instructions regarding their routine, feeding schedules, and safety boundaries. Whether at my home or yours, I always double check that doors and gates are secure, maintain a calm atmosphere, and keep a close eye on body language to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: I’ve lived with a plethora of different dogs for longer than I can remember, and have nearly decade-long experience as a former dog owner myself. I’m familiar with small and large dogs alike, have put up with many mean dogs in the past, and I have the general know-how to care for older dogs and sick dogs. While I am a newcomer to Rover, I intend to serve my client’s and their dog’s needs with the utmost care and attention, and any dog I’m to watch over will receive as many walks and games as they so please. I’m currently serving as a volunteer for Heart of the Valley, and while I’m usually working 2-4 hours every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, that schedule is incredibly flexible and can be adjusted any which way in order to tend to a dog’s needs as long as bookings are made a day or two ahead of time. I have a very spacious yard, however it is not fenced. Dog’s can easily be leashed for potty breaks if necessary. Indoors, dogs can freely roam the house, but not without someone always keeping an eye on them, and they’ll be fed either twice a day or per the client’s request. In between they’ll receive all the attention and playtime they want, as well as at least one walk a day.
“Kaeli was very quick to respond upon my initial request to check in on our cat for a long weekend. She communicated very well to meet us prior to committing, and Kaeli was immediately a friendly, easy going and trustworthy sitter. She updated me with each visit and sent photos so we had peace of mind. I’m so happy to have found Kaeli and will absolutely be using her for future jobs!”

About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Matthews is $20

Kaelleh is very kind, attentive, and detail-oriented. She was wonderful with my animals to include horses, dogs, and a cat. I would not hesitate to recommend her, she checks in consistently and sends detailed photos and a list of what she did during that day. I feel very lucky to have had her help while I was away.

Kaeli was very quick to respond upon my initial request to check in on our cat for a long weekend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Matthews is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 572 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Matthews. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
