“Annie was such an amazing sitter! Our dog Winston is an anxious pup who likes consistency and can sometimes be thrown for a loop with sitters. Annie was so calm, kind and good with Winston! He immediately took to her. Annie provided updates throughout the stay. We came home to a clean house and a relaxed dog!”
“Georgina is a fantastic dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua. He warmed up quickly to Georgina and she sent me lots of photos and updates, which I appreciated! I could tell he was well taken care of while we were gone! She also kept the house clean and went above and beyond and washed the sheets at the end of her stay. I will definitely book Georgina again in the future!!”
“Logan is the best!! She was understanding and respectful of our shy dog's boundaries, and has a very calm and kind demeanor, which I think our dog picked up on as she bonded to Logan very quickly. Our dog normally takes a while to warm up to new people but we could tell from Logan's updates and photos that she felt comfortable and trusted Logan almost immediately! We continued to get updates and photos throughout our trip as well which was wonderful, it really allowed us to relax with the reassurance that our pup was being well cared for. Logan also left our house spotless, I think it might actually be cleaner than when we left it! We've already booked with her for another trip and I wouldn't hesitate to rebook for any other ones that come up! I would highly recommend Logan if you want someone reliable, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pets as well as you would.”
“Rosie was wonderful! She arrived right on time and my dogs loved her immediately. She was extremely accommodating of last minute change. She was kind, professional and clearly has experience with pet care.”
“Lizzie was so amazing! Our younger dog gets really excited and dogs jump on new people (he is in classes for that). She was so sweet and patient with him. Throughout her whole stay with the dogs she sent multiple photos, checked in with us regularly, and was always very attentive with the dogs. Dogs were fed on time (following all the details we left behind), they went on long walks and never had an issue. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Krystal did a great job. She took care of Tiger’s needs, took him on a walk and brushed him. I’m sure he is in love now. Also, my home was well taken care of. Thanks Krystal.”
“Bryson was very professional and was an excellent communicator. Bryson showed up promptly and communicated on how my dogs were doing while I was gone. I would recommend his services!”
“Our first time using Rover, and what a relief to have someone like Morgan watching our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dog and our home. It’s nice to be able to travel and not worry!”
“Phoebe was great to work with taking care of our two dogs for the day. She is great about keeping in touch and sending pics and super friendly with our dogs. Thank you!”
About: I grew up taking care of all sorts of animals, have my own dog, and have cared for friend’s dogs of all ages and breeds for years. I work a regular weekday schedule and have Fridays off, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m also available some weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I take an active and attentive approach to pet care and will make sure your pet(s) get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship during each visit. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine closely, while also keeping an eye out for anything unusual. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away!
“Mackenzi was fabulous!! We came home to a clean house and two happy boys! She was great with communication and we would definitely have her watch the dogs again.”
“Fern is so lovely! Super communicative and kind! They sent photos and updates about Ben and were flexible with my plans shifting a bit last minute. I felt so comfortable leaving my cat with Fern!”
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!
“Holly was an incredible house sitter for our two older dogs! Professional, proactive, and sent frequent detailed updates and photos. Our pups were very well cared for and the house looked great upon our arrival home. Highly recommend her services and we would love to work with her again in the future!”
“Kim stayed in our house with our dog, Cooper, for two nights. She was incredibly responsive to my booking request and came over to meet Cooper ahead of time. She asked lots of great questions so we felt comfortable with her. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos. Kim took great care of both our dog and our home. We will definitely request her again.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for many years, starting at a young age watching neighbor dogs. I have cared for a variety of types of animals, but have to admit I am dog crazy! Senior dogs are especially dear to my heart. I have a senior chihuahua who gets along with other dogs. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as I used to own a highly reactive pit mix. My schedule is very flexible. I work part time and know my schedule about a week or so in advance. When I’m not working as a nanny, I’m at home working on my art! Pets who stay with me will likely be spoiled rotten. Dogs allowed on the furniture in this home! I have a small alley home and a partially fenced yard. Walks or trail hikes through out the day are a favorite around here!
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Missoula
Liliana was amazing taking care of our dog, Scott! She got to know him and adapted to his personal needs. She updated us daily with lots of adorable pictures. She was even nice enough to stay an extra day when our flight was delayed. I can’t recommend her enough!
Quinn was fantastic with Theo and was super patient, kind, and flexible. Theo has been dealing with a chronic health issue that I have just recently gotten under control. It was very important that he be kept on the regimen that is finally working and found that Quinn was very consistent and kept Theo right on track. What a total relief! Will for sure have Quinn stay with Theo again!
Lillian was an amazing dog sitter. She took such great care of Enzo and was very attuned to his needs and separation anxiety. She stayed at our house and left it clean and tidy and was very respectful of our home. She also sent updates and helpful messages while we were away. Enzo can’t wait to see her again!
Eva was fantastic! She accommodated a last-minute booking to watch Chevron in my home. She took great care of Chevron, making sure she got plenty of attention and exercise. Eva communicated frequently and sent lots of updates via text, photo, and video. She took great care of my space. It's nice to have a reliable sitter and we look forward to working with Eva again in the future!
Magnolia delivered compassionate, loving care for my two dogs during my trip out-of-town for spinal surgery. Updates were professional and detailed. Each dog has a very unique personality and individual needs. Magnolia stayed in my home overnight to assure that disruption to their daily patterns were minimized. Not every sitter would be comfortable with giving an 80 lb, dog lap time in my recliner, but Magnolia embraced the challenge.
Courtney is amazing!!! She is great with dogs of all personalities and handled our big, protective senior doggo with love and care. Our pups quickly became pals with Courtney and we came home to happy, relaxed, well cared-for dogs. She provided lovely daily updates and left our house very tidy. Thank you, Courtney!
Haley was wonderful! She took great care of my pets and home while I was out of town. She was very responsible with the medication and extra care one of my dogs needed. Haley sent photos and updates daily. She tidied up the house before I returned home which I really appreciated. I would definitely hire her again.
Abigail was wonderful! My pet-sitting plans changed at the very last minute, and she seriously saved the day. She was able to house-sit my dog and two cats on short notice and was so accommodating about stopping by beforehand to meet everyone and grab the keys. She sent me a daily update, which made me feel so much better while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my little crew had someone there with them and were being well taken care of. She was also super respectful of my home. I’d absolutely book with Abigail again!
Holly was an incredible house sitter for our two older dogs! Professional, proactive, and sent frequent detailed updates and photos. Our pups were very well cared for and the house looked great upon our arrival home. Highly recommend her services and we would love to work with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Missoula is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $64 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 301 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Missoula. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Missoula walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Missoula maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
