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 times 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!
“Traci and family took very good care of my boys 🐶🐶. She sent pictures of our 2 dogs every day, including after I left and they settled in. They seemed pretty chill when I picked them up, so I knew they had been doing ok. I would definitely recommend Traci to anyone looking for a small dog pet sitter!”
“Cait took great care of my dogs while I was away. I was given updates and photos daily, which reassured me that all was well. My dogs came home happy and I could tell that they were well taken care of.”
“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!”
About: Book using this link for $20 off ⬇️ https://www.rover.com/sit/finleu42698 For as long as I can remember I have always absolutely loved dogs! Growing up, my family had 2 gorgeous akitas which I cared for with the help of my brother their entire lives. I am so grateful to have never experienced life without dogs and I can't imagine life without a them now, but being a college student makes it difficult to have my own. To solve this problem, I downloaded Rover! I may not be able to have my own dog, but I'd love to take care of yours! I have experience taking care of dogs at all stages of life. I have been thoroughly involved in training puppies for my family members (just the basics: house training, sit, shake, recall, etc.) and took a brief dog psychology lesson my freshman year of college, so puppies are absolutely no problem for me! I also assisted in caring for my family dogs their whole lives, giving me experience with larger breeds and with senior dogs as they got older. Right now, I'm a student at Montana State University. I do have class throughout the day, but typically I have a break for a few hours earlier in the afternoon. I also have a job in the evenings, so unfortunately I can't give dogs who need constant supervision or attention the time they need. I still have plenty of time for independent, lower maintenance pups :) With the breaks in my schedule, I am available to drop by (roughly) 3 times a day while you're gone. I am an avid hiker, and am more than happy to take your babies on walks as long as they're comfortable with, whether that means an 8 mile trek through the woods or just a walk around the block.
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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs that need extra attention. I easily adapt to each pet’s needs to make them feel safe and happy. I also enjoy spending time playing with them and teaching good behaviors Taking care of my pets is an important part of my daily routine. Every day, I make sure to feed them, give them clean water, and spend time playing or taking them for a walk. Once a week, I check their hygiene, clean their spaces, and make sure they are healthy and comfortable I take care of pets with great attention and love, making sure they always feel comfortable and safe. In my home, I prepare a clean and calm space where they can rest and play. When I’m at the client’s home, I follow their instructions to maintain the pet’s usual routine. I always focus on giving them affection, proper nutrition, and constant companionship
“Katherine was such a fabulous dogsitter. She was our first Rover and she set the bar so high. She is a great communicator, she was flexible with us when our trip plans changed and was flexible with planning around drop off/pick up. She sent us daily updates of their adventures with pics and videos. We kept joking the dog was having a better vacation than we were. We would absolutely send our pup to stay with Katherine and Nuggets again and would happily recommend her to others.”
“Sarah is awesome! Clearly she loves animals you can tell just by her effort she puts forth. Our little Gracie didn't want to leave and when we arrived at Sarah's house, Gracie was excited to see her which is unusual since she isn't around other people or dogs that often. We will absolutely be using Sarah again should we need a sitter and she is available! Sarah took us on a short three day notice not ever have kept Gracie, and that meant a lot to our family. We are thankful for her and all she did, especially sending pictures and videos showing Gracie having fun with her dogs!”
About: I've been a dog owner my entire life and have taken care of friends and neighbor's dogs for as long as I can remember. I thoroughly enjoy dogs [and cats] and will show your pets the same amount of love I would show my own! I work a hybrid flexible schedule. I can be available when necessary and will happily schedule around pet sitting. I am almost always available from early morning through early evening. I have a quarter acre fenced yard and a silver lab that loves play dates! We live in a split level so we do have stairs going up or down. We takes lots of walks to the local park and dog park and throw the ball as often as we can!

“Alex made sure that my girls felt right at home, and that they were taken care of! My Holly girl got an ear infection right before staying with Alex, but Alex made sure she got her meds on time, that Heidi was a good sister and didn’t lick all the medicine our, and that they both got all the cuddles they deserve. Heidi and Holly would love to visit Alex and Goose again in the future”
“Katie was the best for taking care of my senior Mini Aussie, Stone. He was well cared for... many walks, a hike even and toys, and another dog to play with. He was so happy when I picked him up! Great stay... highly recommend, Kaitie!”
About: Growing up with over 6 dogs, I have taken care of various breeds from a young age. I absolutely adore dogs and all animals. I work remotely and my schedule is very flexible so you can expect that your dog will receive frequent walks and potty breaks. I’ve had my own dog Zula, a French bulldog, for 7 years. I love to go on long walks and would be happy to run with your dog if that is something that they would enjoy. What to expect from my schedule : A morning walk, potty breaks every 2-4 hours (whatever works best for your pup), an afternoon walk and a longer evening walk. My apartment is very dog friendly as I have had my French bulldog living with me for over 3 years. She absolutely loves to play and is very friendly. Dogs are welcome on my couch/ furniture.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Merriman home-away-from-home, 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 Merriman.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Merriman 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 , 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 .
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.
