“Lea is the BEST! We’re always sad leaving our kitties, but it was so wonderful to know for sure that they were being well taken care of. I had no worries leaving them in her care and would do it again a million times over.”
About: Hi, my name is a Nevaeh and I am a nineteen year old who hasn't had one moment in my life where I wasn't surrounded by animals. From being five years old with my grandma's grouchy old cat, to my cousin's place with two dogs and four cats, to being nine and getting my own cat and dog. I am no stranger to big dogs wanting to play like puppies, little dogs with attitudes twice their size and cats being, well, cats. Every time I meet a new animal, I make it a point to introduce myself to them directly. Even sitting down on the ground to be on their level and let them come to me. I want to take care of them, why wouldn't I let them decide they like me? Currently, I work part time Friday through Monday (With Sundays open) and then have Tuesday through Thursdays open. This might change, it might not. I am looking for a full time job. But if I can fit a pet in, I will. As I said, I grew up with several dogs and cats. So I am aware every one is different and requires different care. And much like my banner alludes to, I am a pre-vet student. I'd love to take all the animal experience I can gain. If you have certain requirements for your pet, I can absolutely abide to them.
About: I've had my own pets for over ten years, including a reactive dog so I know all pups need love! I've been the go-to dog and cat sitter for friends and family since I could drive, everything from weekend trips to month long visits, I've always been happy to help! As a pet parent we all know we need extra hands sometimes! I work part time, so although the times might vary based on the day, I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I know how hard it is to leave your furry babies, so I try to make sure that I do my best to quell that anxiety when I can! I've had to leave my pups with friends and loved ones before, so I know that worries of someone outside of your family stopping in. I listen to all boundaries just the same as I would expect a pet sitter to do for me. That's the golden rule: Treats others (and their spaces) how you would want to be treated.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have had cats as well, so I'm comfortable with both. Most recently I've been the go-to sitter for my neighbor's cat during her extended trips away — sometimes up to a month at a time. Animals tend to be at ease around me, and I bring the same calm, unhurried attention to pet care that I do to everything else. Your pet will be well looked after and genuinely enjoyed, not just managed. I’m reliable, quiet, respectful of your home, and happy to follow detailed instructions for your pet’s care. I work from home on a flexible, part-time basis, which means I'm around most of the day and can give pets consistent attention and company. I'm available for drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week with good advance notice. I'm attentive, calm, and take pet care seriously. For in-home sitting I treat your space with care and keep everything exactly as you'd want it. I'm comfortable with a range of pets and temperaments, and I'll communicate with you regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I am a freelance journalist that loves to watch peoples dogs when they head out of town. My schedule is flexible and I have been trusted to watch dogs when I am in town for many friends/acquaintances. I have an active lifestyle, and so love to get the dogs I sit out on hikes but am happy to accommodate any needs. As a journalist my schedule is very flexible! I often work from home and so can easily host dogs/take them on walks or check in throughout the day depending on needs. I grew up with dogs and so I’m comfortable around them, and feel they’re comfortable with me. I am super happy to meet whatever the dogs typical lifestyle needs are!
About: I've always had pets. Been very good at taking good care of them. My last two were elderly. I've housesat for multiple friends. Im very active with animals if they want to be active or calm and cuddly when they don't. I genuinely just love all animals and seem to bond with most. Just hope I get the opportunity to bond with your animal, cause they're my favorite. I work full time from 8 to 4:30 at the university. I have weekends off. I do have a few hours of a class on Saturdays. I have a small apartment and two roommates, one of which, doesn't want animals around. But im willing to house sit. And I'm a cordial house guest. I do my own dishes, buy my own groceries, and maintain the environment. I like to leave things like I found them. I've been a custodian for 8 years.
“The absolute best of the best! Chloe very obviously loves cats and took the absolute best care of mine while my family had to go out of town for 2 weeks. I was super nervous to leave them for so long but she visited them every single day, was so reliable and was able to give one of my cats his medicine every day. The pictures she sent show how much they love her and were so comfortable right away with her! We will use her anytime we need a pet sitter in the future!”
About: I grew up on a small organic farm outside of bozeman, we had a lots of animals growing up and we always had rescue dogs as well. I grew up taking care of cats and bunnies and dogs basically my whole life, I also dog sit consistently for a client in summers. I’m currently a full time student at U of M and my class times are random throughout the day so my schedule works perfectly for pet sitting, dog walking and drop ins anytime. I follow the routine I’m given by the owner and I like to be active so I’ll usually play or take the dog on a walks/hikes if the dog is up for it, otherwise I’ll just stick to the given feeding/exercise schedule and take care of the house and dog or cat like normal and leave everything as I found it.
About: I have been working in the animal care industry for 10 years. I completed an apprenticeship at Wind River Canine Partners and ran a dog training business. I take the task of caring for other people's pets as seriously as I take caring for my own. Our pets are our family members, and they deserve to be treated with the highest level of care. If you're looking for knowledgeable, compassionate care for your furry family, look no further. I have extensive experience with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, small animals, exotics, and aquatics! I am very communicative with my clients and am sure to include an update and photos with every visit. You can rest assured your animal will be well cared for and loved while you enjoy your vacation or focus on your work trip. Pet care is currently my full time job! I am available to care for your pets 7 days a week with vast availability throughout the day. If I am staying at your residence for overnight bookings, I may leave the house for up to 6 hours a day. Adult dogs may be left home alone for up to 6 hours Puppies under 6 months will never be left home alone for more than 2 hours. Puppies older than 6 months but under 1 year will never be left home alone for more than 4 hours. I pay close attention to each individual animal. I do not leave any of the animals unsupervised if they are not appropriately contained. I am very knowledgeable in cat and dog body language and can ensure your pet is always comfortable. I like to adhere to your existing routine to make your time away as easy for your pet as possible.
About: Hello! I am currently spending my summer in Moose working for Dornan's ranch. I would love to watch your pets in my free time! I have completed a Veterinary Technician course in which I administered medication and learned the proper care for smaller animals. I am more than happy to travel to your home to watch it/your pet as well. My schedule does vary, but for the most part I am working mornings and would be home around 5pm. I can work around my schedule to fit your needs, so just let me know what is most convenient for you. I am able to create or follow a consistent schedule just like you already have, making sure they have regular meals, play sessions, and quiet time to rest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
April is fantastic. She has been helping me take care of my new puppy. She is always on time, reliable, sends photos, and answers communications promptly. I was worried about the puppy this morning and she did a last minute drop in to check on her and make sure she wasn't sick.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Missoula stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
