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.

“This was my first time using Rover.com. My dog Marco and I had a great experience! We met Casey for a meet and greet prior to the dog walk. I was very impressed with Casey's professionalism. Casey helped answer all my questions about the service and tips for using the app. Love the Rover card. Even received a picture of my dog on the walk. Marco said he likes Casey and would definitely enjoy another walk or visit. Will plan on scheduling soon!”

About: Lifelong pet owner with 2 years professional experience as a Veterinary Technician and 3 years working in boarding kennels. Experience includes dogs, cats, horses, reptiles and rodents! I have experience with long term petsitting and geriatric pet care and medication administration, as well as emergency response. I have raised a few dogs and cats (and a horse) of my own and have cared for newborn puppies and kittens and medically sensitive pets. Morning and night feeding schedules are no problem, as well as three times a day medication administration if needed. Dogs who love walks and hikes are always great for me, as I have plenty of time to get out in neighborhoods or longer hikes in the mountains if applicable. I am happy to have dogs off leash in hiking environments once trust is established, if applicable. I am happy to give pets as much attention as needed, including take dogs out on walks or car rides. I am also happy with staying with them overnight if needed. I have experience with handling larger more energetic breeds as well as those who are aggressive and/or territorial. I enjoy caring for social cats who enjoy human contact and need company, but am happy to leave them to their independence if they desire. I have dealt with a variety of emergencies both working at a veterinary clinic and caring for elderly and sensitive pets, and am trained in recognizing concerning health issues in dogs and cats. My cat is my best friend in the world and I do everything I can to make sure she is happy and healthy, so I understand when others always want the best care possible for the animals in their life.

About: I have trained one dog since she was 6 weeks old and is now 7. I also have a rescued abused dog that I trained that is 2.5 now. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I work full-time but can frequently stop by to take care of your pet. I love walks as well and playing fetch (or whatever your pet prefers). I would stop by at least 3 times a day and walk at least twice. For now, I will not house pets more than 2 pets in my home due to limited space. When you book me, I would love detailed information on what you expect from me!

About: I grew up from the age of 8 with cats and dogs. I know that every critter has its own personality and should be treated as such. I have experience walking medium-sized dogs (german shepherds and retrievers) have watched cats too. I have my own cat, and empathize with the heartache that can come with leaving your pet at home. I am a responsible, trustworthy person who would love to check in or walk your pet(s) while you are away. I have passed both state and federal background checks and am employed as a researcher through the federal government. I love having my cat, Fischer, by my side as I work from home and am happy that he's been able to travel and adapt with me over the past 10 years of us being family! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have about my qualifications or experience. I work from home, so I am most happy doing check-ins or walks during the day! I try to save my weekends for my own outside time, but if I am in town I will happily care for your animal. I will be sure to treat your house as a would my own: keeping it clean and safe. I will always lock your doors, refresh water bowls as needed, or feed/medicate if necessary. Your pet will be my priority when I am caring for it.

“Our boy Cashew is still in the thicket of big-dog adolescence, and at 70lbs it can feel like steadying a runaway train, but Reid has been beyond wonderful with Cashew since the start! Reid is compassionate with our boy without letting him get away with unsafe behaviors, and now that I’m working 12hr days, I can trust that my boy will be exercised, exhausted, and excited to sleep until I’m back home. Choosing someone to bring into your home, while you’re not there, to temporarily *take your dog* is an undeniably stressful decision. Reid has made that process effortless, putting my entire family at ease, and I cannot recommend his services enough!”

About: Hi! My name is Nichole and I am excited for the opportunity to provide you with peace of mind that your pets have a loving companion during your time away! I've been a dog sitter/walker for well over 20 years. I did DogVacay (before it became Rover) and Rover for 4 years while I was going to college in Texas between 2011 to 2016. At the time I was rate the #1 dog-sitter in Dallas/Fort Worth area. I moved back to San Diego shortly after and started a career in Social Work so I had to give up my "fun job" dog sitting. That didn't last long, as I missed it so much, I turned my Rover account back on and continued taking care of animals. Fast forward 9 years later, and I am now in Missoula, MT! I have a great passion for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own, as I fall in love the second I meet them. Whether its a couple walks a week or a 14-day vacation, I will bond with your dog immediately. I love hyper dogs because they are a blast to be around, but I also love shy dogs because it's extremely rewarding when you earn their trust. No matter your dogs temperament, age, size, or health status I can assure you I am the reliable and honest person you have been looking for to care for your member of the family so you can enjoy your vacation without worries! I currently work for Beach Transportation so I work 2hr in the morning and 3hrs in the afternoon. Otherwise, I have a fair amount of flexibility being able to work from anywhere, just about any time! If I do leave the house it's usually to go to the gym or spend time in nature. I am rarely away from home for more than 4 hours at a time. I treat every client's home like it's my own. I pride myself on being extremely clean and respectful of the rules...not only your house rules, but your pet's rules too. I encourage families to face-time or check on their pups via security cameras for reassurance that I am taking care of their pets exactly the way they expect me to, or even better! Many dog owners find that their dogs get spoiled when I take care of them becuase I am home all the time so they get copious amounts of attention, walks, play time, and cuddles.

Tldr: Emma has been a perfect fit for our dogs and us. She is experienced, flexible, kind, perfect communication and efficiency. Period. My Siberian huskies have hiked off leash everyday their entire lives. Their hooman had cancer and I'm currently down with a bad foot injury, unable to hike them. This has been very difficult for my floofers. Emma cares for the dogs with empathy and professionalism, which takes care of me too. We are incredibly grateful to her.

Oh my word, did I luck out picking Elizabeth (Betsy) to check in on and walk my 2 crazy pups. I just moved here from Virginia and my dogs are far from perfectly behaved, but she had such patience and understanding for them and such a gentle, loving and happy vibe. I was never concerned and she left such detailed reports that I knew they were in the right hands. I can't wait for the next time my babies have the pleasure of her company. Thank you! Would hire again without a second thought!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Missoula

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Missoula is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $35 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 402 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Missoula. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Missoula. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Missoula after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Missoula. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
