“Quinn is fantastic! Our dogs can be pretty crazy and Quinn was so gracious and great with them. We are already planning to book again. Highly recommend!!”
“Amber did a wonderful job with our two kitties! She kept us posted daily on how they were doing and sent cute pictures of them!! We would definitely call on Amber again to care for our pets!!!”
“Zoe was wonderful! She was responsive, on time, communicative and an all around great sitter! She took great care of our dog and we were never worried or wondering about anything with her in charge. Hope we get to use her again!”
“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!”
“Traci did a fantastic job house sitting for us and had great communication. She provided daily photos and was very accommodating for our dog. Would definitely recommend!”
“Brianna is the best!!! Our pups are pretty crazy and she did so amazing with them. Our puppy wanted to go home with her!! Also I came home to all of our laundry folded which was definitely not expected at all and was the sweetest thing ever!!!!! Highly, highly recommend- we will definitely be booking again!!”
“Rachel was a fantastic house and pet sitter for our crew of five fur kiddos (plus house plants). We left our senior dog, senior cat, and three younger cats in her care at our house for a week, and she kept everyone on their (borderline annoying) schedules and routines, including daily dog walks and medication administration. Rachel was highly responsive, openly communicative, and active in sharing updates and daily photos of our pets. I'm also fairly sure that our house was cleaner when we returned than when we left...! We will continue to request Rachel as our house sitter for as long as she will let us :)”
“Maisie was amazing! She took great care of our dog and kitty while we were away for a week. She sent pictures which warmed our hearts and made sure our dog got adequate exercise. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babes!”
“My dog had to have a limb amputated due to a cancer diagnosis. I stayed with her for 4 days but didn't feel good about leaving her to go back to work. Shaelyn did not hesitate when I asked her to stay with Zoey during the day. She was excellent at monitoring her, giving her medications, and getting her out for breaks. She is just awesome!!!”
“Brandy is an exceptional pet caregiver! We left on a four day trip, not realizing our cat Earl Grey had an infected wound that would need emergency surgery. Under some very difficult circumstances Brandy took care of Earl pre and post surgery. She kept us informed of his progress through phone calls, text messages and photographs. She assured us that her priorities were to make sure Earl was safe and comfortable. After arriving home, Brandy stayed to meet us and gave us a debriefing of what was done and what needed to continue for Earl's care. She shared and demonstrated some tips and tricks that she found successful in caring for an outdoor cat that now had to stay indoors with a cone around his head. We cannot thank Brandy enough for the compassion, confidence and grace that she showed during this unexpected and challenging booking.”
“Bizzy did a wonderful job with my dogs ! I have been looking for a new dog sitter and chose Bizzy based on her reviews and she did not disappoint. She sent me plenty of updates and my house was in great order when I came home. She was also available last minute. Thanks again Bizzy, we will be asking for you to return next time ! Thanks again”
“Ryan was incredible!!! She was so sweet and great with our 3 crazy labs. She also went above and beyond bringing out treats for them as well as bringing water out for them after our cistern pump stopped working during her time watching them. We appreciate her attentiveness and will absolutely book with her in the future!”
About: I have been caring for animals since pet sitting for my aunt and uncle’s 3 rowdy dogs as a teen, sometimes up to a month when they went on long trips. I also have cared for dogs of my own for most of my adult life and consider them to be members of the family. My current dog Ron has some special care needs which has taught me to be patient and sensitive to pups who need a little extra care and attention. I would love to welcome your furry buddy into our home and would treat them like another member of the family. I currently work from home so am able to give your pup lots of attention and exercise. I also am a very active person and love to frequent the local trails if that is something you would like for your pup. I have a fenced front and back yard and a dog door that can be locked if need be. I have multiple dog beds and also allow dogs on the furniture (I of course will not allow it if it’s a behavior you don’t want your dog to learn). Like I said, I consider them to be part of the family.
About: I have been around pets from a young age and grew up with both dogs and cats. My parents wanted to teach my sister and I the responsibility of taking care of our pets, and got us a cat that we were solely responsible to care for and I have loved caring for pets ever since! I have taken care of many pets since and have a dog of my own now. I work outside of my home Monday through Thursday from 8-5, I do have a shorter day on Friday, working 8-2. I have an hour break for lunch and typically go home to let my own pup out and would happily to the same for yours! I have a fenced in yard and a pup that loves everyone and will happily make your pets feel right at home. I can crate your pet if needed. My goal is always to make sure that any pet that I’m caring for feels comfortable and gets lots of play time.
“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.”
“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!!”
“Allison was wonderful! She took great care of my two senior dogs. When I got home after 3 days, my home looked exactly how I left it and my pups were happy and well taken care of ❤️❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Missoula
This was Annie’s first time house sitting for me. There is always a steep learning curve especially wit multiple critters and plants etc. She rocked it! She loved on my babies, kept things orderly and checked in daily which kept me from worrying about my home or critters. Kittens can be a handful! Very jazzed I came across Annie. She has integrity and kindness. She was on time for our meet and greet and house sitting. I have had some bad house sitter experiences so did not travel for some time. Annie is helping to shift that for me.
Brandy was wonderful! She was very responsive, asked good questions, and provided cute pictures of our dog, Cooper. Brandy stayed at our house for five nights and left it very clean. I knew when I met her that she would take great care of our dog. It gave me confidence, which helped me enjoy our time away even more. I will definitely book with Brandy again!
Brianna is the best!!! Our pups are pretty crazy and she did so amazing with them. Our puppy wanted to go home with her!! Also I came home to all of our laundry folded which was definitely not expected at all and was the sweetest thing ever!!!!! Highly, highly recommend- we will definitely be booking again!!
Alaina is the best sitter we've ever had! The dogs absolutely loved her, she was communicative, left the house clean, and clearly took care of our pups with a lot of love. Our pups didn't seem anxious at all after returning from a week away from them, which is a testament to how well they were cared for. Thanks so much, Alaina!!
Elise did a good job of taking care of our house and our pets while we were out of town for two weeks. She was quick to respond to communications, followed instructions, respected our house, and left everything the way it was before we left. The pets didn't even act like they missed us that much, which is a big complement. Thanks!
We asked a lot of Rosie on very short notice. Our husky underwent an emergency sternotomy and lung lobectomy just 5 weeks prior to the vacation we had planned much earlier, AND he threw a first ever seizure into the mix a week before we left. I was going to cancel the trip after the seizure, since it felt scary for me to leave and unfair to put that on the sitter we had already booked months prior. But, I found Rosie while searching for first aid/CPR and special needs experience last-minute. Rosie came over for a meet & greet and was very understanding of the accommodations we’d made around the house to prevent Finn from injuring himself during the day (like mattresses on the floor and in strange places 🙃). She was confident in her ability to both recognize whether veterinary care was needed and to physically load our 70-lb dog into a car to get him that care, and that went a long way to put me at ease enough to take the vacation. Thankfully the need did not arise, and she was great with meds and respecting the activity restrictions still in place throughout the stay, while getting both dogs daily exercise within their ability. Rosie’s stay with the pups (and consequently our vacation!) went off without a hitch.
Liz did an amazing job with our four dogs when she dog sat for us! She is very knowledgeable and has a ton of experience with dogs. We felt incredibly comfortable leaving her with them overnight. She sent pictures and they were just happy as could be while we were gone. She came highly recommended from somebody that I know and trust really well and we will absolutely use her again!
Chloe took excellent care of Gus and our home over the long weekend. She sent frequent updates and photos, and left the house clean and tidy. She even thought to wash the sheets from her bed before she headed out. Very thoughtful and very trustworthy. I would absolutely recommend Chloe to take great care of your pet/s and home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Missoula
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Missoula on Rover is $41.89 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 297 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Missoula. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
