“Annie was great with my two dogs. Even though my rat terrier was mean to her when they first met, Annie was positive, relaxed, and got him to warm up to her. She sent picture updates and was communicative. My pups recommend her!”
“New to town and had an out of town wedding to attend. Georgina stayed with my dog Angus for the weekend and cared for him. She was punctual, took detailed notes on my dog’s care during the meet and greet and left the place spotless. It can be such a stressful thing finding someone who will look after a beloved pet while away. Georgina made the experience stress free.”
“Corbin is a truly great pet + house sitter, and we feel so lucky to have found him! He took great care of our pup and our home while we were away for a week. He checked-in regularly with photos and updates, and responded promptly whenever we reached out. He is very professional, kind, and overall just seems like a great person. He left our place very clean and tidy, and our pup really seemed to bond with him well as a new best friend. We would gladly recommend Corbin’s services, and look forward to working with him again soon.”
“Rosie did a great job with my reactive/anxious pup. I loved that she sent photos while I was away, and I felt confident leaving Winnie in her care. Would recommend!”
“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!”
“Bryan was fantastic! He took great care of our little girl, and she and his dog Ron truly bonded and had great fun doing various outdoor adventures! We would highly recommend Bryan for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“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!”
“I’m so happy to have found Krystal to home sit my Riley dog! I came home to a happy, chill dog and a house that was as good or better than I left it! I will totally recommend Krystal and will book her next time I have to leave Riley at home.”
“Cora was wonderful and Gus was well taken care of all weekend. She made sure to send frequent updates on how he was doing, got his favorite game of fetch in (even with crappy weather), and went out of her way to drop him off at home periodically for some breaks since we lived conveniently close by. This was a last minute request and we were so grateful he was in good hands.”
“Chloe was awesome with my temperamental cat who is older and not the easiest to get along with. She was extremely flexible and communicative from the first time I messaged her and even went out of her way to return my extra key before the stay when I realized I briefly needed it back. Left my place very clean and my cat relaxed and comfortable during a heat wave. I would recommend her if you also have a cat who needs a lot of patience and personal space.”
“We had a great experience with Nick. Nick is very quick to respond and sent us daily updates. I will definitely rebook with Nick when we need a sitter for our Diva dog Jude.”
“Matt is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve had! He watched my pups for a week at my house and could not have been more communicative, attentive, flexible, and easy to deal with. He is extremely punctual, sent me tons of photos, and catered to my pups particular needs. He left my house super clean and left my pups happy and well cared for. He is extremely nice and a total delight to work with! Couldn’t recommend him more highly!”
“Lea is reliable and kind! She sent me photos and videos everyday that I was gone. My house was spotless when I got back home and everything was taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Kimberly took great care of my three babies. She was able to administer oral medication without an issue to my dog. She was communicative and treated my home with respect. I would definitely work with Kimberly again!”
“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!”
“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!”

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.
