“Chloe took great care of my cat! When I returned home from out of town, my girl seemed totally happy. I get anxious being apart from my cat, but Chloe communicated well and made me feel completely at ease being away from her.”
“Zoe did so great with both my shy dog and my outgoing dog. Being away from home is stressful, but its so much easier when I know my dogs are being well taken care of. Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Quinn did a great job with my dog. I have a large Akita and she doesn’t like very many people. Quinn has a very gentle way of gaining the dogs trust and it showed in the many (much appreciated) pictures and videos that I would get daily. I will definitely use Quinn as my dog sitter again.”
About: My name is Sarah, I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I have many years of dog walking and pet sitting experience but am new to this platform. When I am caring for pets I enjoy being active, as long as the dog is able and going for walks, hikes, or runs. My previous clients, whether previous co-workers or my clients through Wag have appreciated the care that I have provided for their pets in the past. If your pet is high energy, I will run around the hills with them until they are worn out, if your pet prefers staying indoors, I will gladly lie around with them, giving them tons of attention. Whatever your pet's particular personality calls for, I will gladly accommodate!
“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!”
“Logan was outstanding! Our dog got to go on lots of adventures and was very active. Her communication was top notch! She was very respectful to our home as well. We hope to book her for all of our future trips!”
“Shaelyn did an amazing job assisting with Chop! I’m glad that she was available to help out. She always communicated with me, and she was at my home when she said she would be.”
“Corbin was awesome! Incredibly communicative and on top of things. He was so good about asking questions and checking in, and making sure Maisie was well taken care of. Maisie had a great time with him.”
“Eliza is our new favorite sitter! She did an excellent job caring for my reactive/anxious pup, was very communicative, and left the house even better than when she arrived. Would highly recommend Eliza to other pet parents!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Aderley has been a life saver for our dogs! It’s been difficult to find someone consistent and dependable, especially when it comes to watching a pitbull AND a Doberman, both with some quirks. It’s a huge plus that she’s willing to do overnights so my partner and I can get away every once in awhile during the weekends. Aderley has a very calm but confident demeanor that puts us at ease.”
“Emma was great! Our little guy just had surgery and he’s super fragile, but we felt very comfortable leaving Emma to administer his medications and also keep a close eye on him to make sure he didn’t jump up on the furniture. She did an amazing job with him!”
“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!!!”
“Reid was great! He took the time to do a meet and greet prior to watching Dale, which I really appreciated. Our home was clean when we got back from being gone for two weeks. He sent photos of Dale and updated me often. Thanks again Reid! Definitely recommend and will use his services again.”
“Delaney was so wonderful with our dogs! We had never left them for a full week, so I was nervous about this. She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates. I could tell our dogs were comfortable and happy through the pictures and videos she would send. She stayed in our apartment and also left it spotless. I would highly recommend booking Delaney next time you need a dog sitter!!!”
“Haley was exceptional with the dogs. They were so happy and she was excellent in sharing their experiences. She is really attuned to their needs and behaviors. I highly recommend her!”
“Louise watched my dog a while back when Kora had several injuries that required activity restrictions, and Louise did an awesome job sticking to them, sending me updates, and just hanging out and spending time with Kora.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Missoula
Corbin stayed at my place to watch my cat during a 10 day vacation out of state. I was hesitant to have someone stay at my place, but my cat much prefers to stay in her own environment. She is indoor/outdoor and can be a bit annoying with her preferred schedule of going in and out. Corbin kept my plants and cat happy for the duration of my trip, sent many updates and photos to keep my mind at ease, and handed the house back to me in better shape than he found it. We will 100% be using Corbin’s services again on our next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Missoula on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 307 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
