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!
“Josephine was great! From drop off to pick up she allowed me to go out of town knowing my pup was in good hands! Will definitely book again and highly recommend you do the same!”
“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!”
“Ashley was a fantastic communicator and sent pupdates. I was very comfortable leaving Nova with her. They did so many fun activities. I highly recommend Ashley and would definitely go with her again.”
“Toaster had the best time with Eliza and Gus! I could tell that he was getting so well taken care of. ☺️ My spoiled boy even got to sleep in the bed, lol! Toaster can’t wait to come back to play with Gus on his next vacation!”
“I am so happy I chose Catherine, Jacob and her two fur babies to watch our 4 month old puppy. They were so accommodating and our dog came back better than before. She had anxiety from a dog attacking her on a walk and Molly and Copper gave her the love and attention she needed.”
“We are so appreciative of the amazing care our dog Adi got while staying with Diedra!! She was so communicative and sent us pictures of her playing all afternoon and when we picked her up she fell right asleep. Tiring our dog out is a great accomplishment so thank you!!!!”
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.
“Holly was great with my aussie, Draper! 😊 She clearly loves dogs. She practiced great safety in feeding separate, having separate areas if needed, having AC and access to water throughout the home so her dog and my dog could both enjoy their time together! Her puppy is sweet and had great manners with my dog. I was super confident my pup would be well taken care of while I was out. Would book again!”
“Appreciated Olivia’s kindness and willingness to look after our (somewhat anxious) senior Schnauzer (for just over a 10 day span) - and all the personalized TLC she gave him. He was in good hands - and we received a picture with a message each day to journal his time away from us. Very grateful that we found her! :) Thank you Olivia!”
“Gina did an amazing job watching my near 9 year old dog, Buddy! She took him on many walks and cared for him like he was her own. I was reassured by lots of photos and quick responses whenever I communicated with her. I would absolutely want her to watch Buddy again in the future! Thank you, Gina!”
“Erika was great again! She's very professional and flexible with pick up/drop off. Her yard has great space for dogs, and she has no problem managing serveral dogs there at once. My dog Winnie has tons of fun with her! I really appreciated a video she sent from the dog bus with each dog looking comfortable and seat belted into their own bus bench.”
“Lauren and Tay were great! Our dog loved them and they sent us sweet updates while we were away. We were just passing through Bozeman so they were very helpful providing recommendations as well! Definitely would recommend!”
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
“Allie was absolutely amazing! She was so quick to respond and was able to dog-sit Jasper last minute on a holiday weekend. I am so appreciative of Allie and her dog Walter!”

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.
