About: I currently don't have pets of my own but grew up with 2 large dogs and love showering my friend's pets with love! I have been pet sitting for dogs and cats since I graduated undergrad and am happy to care for both both active and elderly pets. I work full-time but have some flexibility with my schedule for weekday drop-ins and walks and am almost always available for overnight stays! I am not able to host your pets in my own space but will make sure they're comfortable and happy at home and can easily transport them in my Subaru Outback.

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life! I've taken care of them since I was little! I love meeting new animals and seeing their quirky side! I work full time Wed-Sun from 10-5! I can always check on the animals before and after work and if preferred I can take a break to let them potty! If you have a fence wonderful, if not no worries! I can hook them on the leash and take them for walks around the neighborhood! Whatever your animals loves I can do!
About: I have experience around dogs of all sizes from miniature dachshunds to Saint Bernards. My mom is a certified service animal trainer so she taught me proper ways to walk dogs/leash manners. I’m currently working part time and going to school full time so i’m looking for some extra work on weekends or a few hours in the afternoons of the week. I have my own dog with that we rescued from an abusive environment so it took some time to earn her trust over. I think it’s important to prioritize a dogs safety and comfort.

About: I've had animals in my home as long as I can remember. I've taken care of senior pets, puppies, and kittens alike, my friends and family trusting me with their animals and homes since I was 13. I also have two malamutes of my own, so no matter the size of your animal, I'm not intimated! I don't work full time, so I have the time in between shifts to give your animals love and attention. I typically work 4 hour blocks, my longest day being Thursday, 6am - 1pm. I enjoy taking pups on long walks and letting them get all the smells and pee mail 📬 I believe it makes them happy and healthy, but I'm always accommodating to the size, age, and activity level of your pup and their own special needs.

I love taking dogs on long walks and hikes, playing in the yard or inside, or just giving them the treats and cuddles they deserve! Having my own animals at home, my goal is to make sure that owners know their furry or feathery friends are in good hands when they are away. I'm very flexible, and can pop in any time of the day to make sure they are getting the care they need! I’d be down to house-sit longer term as well if that is a need! This is my only ‘job’ at the moment so I’m pretty flexible! Im very willing to work around any pet /human needs as long as the communication is good! When I am in my clients home, I follow their instructions for care, such as specific feeding and medication schedules, walking routines, play time, behaviors to be aware of, etc. My goal is to make them feel safe and happy in my care.

I love going on walks or hikes with pets and am willing to work around what fits best for your furry friend! I am happy to give whatever care is required, paired of course with lots of pets and loving attention. I have 2 cats of my own, one of which needs special health attention, so I’m well versed in giving medicine to cats or dogs. Let me know how I can be helpful to you and your pets!! Currently working Monday-Friday 9-5, but I am happy to help out with your pets on evenings or weekends. Although the days I work are usually pretty busy, my days off are very flexible for whatever time works best for you. I can easily feed, bathe, and walk your pets, as well as give medication if needed. I am a fast learner and typically work with children, so I’m able to keep calm, compassionate, responsible and safe in all situations.
“Carmen is incredible! We have two reactive dogs and two cats and Carmen handled all of their idiosyncrasies with creativity and grace. In part, this involved getting daily medication into a dog who doesn’t come anywhere near strangers, as well as making sure she went out for potty breaks (which can also be a struggle with her). Carmen truly went above and beyond in numerous ways and I just can’t recommend her strongly enough!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 large breed dogs. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and many different temperaments, as well as working with reactive dogs on leash. I worked for a short while in the boarding portion of a vet clinic and have experience with overnight care of dogs and cats who needed very specific care such as specific foods and medications. I currently work part time, mostly remote and have flexible hours so I can fit home visits and dog walks pretty easily into my day. I live in Hamilton, so the closer you are to Hamilton the more likely it would be that I could help with short notice. I have a car and am happy to drive your pup to the park. I am usually unavailable on weekends but could most likely make something work Monday through Friday! I cannot have dogs at my house but I am available to come to your house for visits during the day (I need to be home with my own pups overnight) and could spend a few hours there working remotely if they need a little more time together. I would love to get them out for a walk or even short hike as well!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Missoula
We needed someone to check in on our dogs during our wedding day, and Clare was so great! She came for a meet and greet beforehand, and the dogs loved her. Clare's care allowed us to enjoy our wedding celebration without stressing about our dogs. Thank you, Clare!
Louise was absolutely fantastic, as always. I have an older dog who requires special attention and care, and Louise manages those needs with great thoughtfulness and compassion. She also provides regular updates about my pets, who always seem a little sad that its me that walks through the door, instead of Louise.
Emma was great from the first woof from my Lily. She quickly bonded with my Lab Lily, and my cat Cowboy even ventured close to her for a pet. She is very personable, reliable, and trustworthy. She texted me pictures and checked in. It made a relaxing day away knowing Emma was taking care of my babies. Mary
Kaycee is an absolute gem. She took great care of Brutus and it was such a pleasure to have her looking after my boy. She spoiled my best bud with some walks, snuggles, and lots of cheese snackies. I had not a single worry while he was in her care. Having that peace of mind is priceless
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Liv has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Finn and Carter. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about them. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re being checked on by someone so attentive and kind. She always sends thoughtful updates and photos, and I can tell my boys are comfortable and happy with her. Finn and Carter both took to her right away, which says a lot. I really appreciate how dependable and caring she’s been, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Missoula is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $44 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 382 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Missoula. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Missoula choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Missoula with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Missoula. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
