About: I work part‑time and have a very flexible weekly routine, which means I’m able to spend extended, consistent time with pets throughout the day. I’m usually home for large stretches of the morning and early afternoon, and I keep my schedule intentionally open so I can prioritize walks, playtime, and companionship. Pet care is part of my daily routine; I schedule structured walks, maintain consistent feeding and play times, and provide attentive house‑sitting throughout the week. I’m an extremely outdoors‑focused person; long walks with any animal are my daily reset. In both my home and clients’ homes, I provide dependable, attentive care through structured walking routines and responsible, detail‑oriented house‑sitting.
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets throughout my early teens up to the present. I have taken care of mostly dogs and cats but have cared for lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I have trained my two dogs commands like sit, down, shake and wait. As a sitter/walker I will love spending time with your pets, as I miss my family‘s pets that are in my home town! I am a full time pharmacy student at the University of Montana so my falls and springs are pretty busy with class. However I will always make time to spend time with the pet(s) when I can. I will always try and make time for a daily walk if taking care of dogs and spend time playing with cats. Back at home I have two dogs and a cat. So I know that trash should be securely placed and poop should be picked up regularly in the yard and in public areas. I love my pets at home and show them lots of affection and love and I hope the people watching would do this too.
“Kayla has looked after my cats a few times now and she has been wonderful. She’s very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of the critters. My cats are generally shy and avoid new people, but they like her and look happy. Thank you for taking such great care of them while I’m gone!”
“Danielle was awesome!! It was our first time using this app so we were a little nervous, but she was great! Made us feel very comfortable - And did great with our dogs!!”
“Kayln was incredible! She is so trustworthy and treats your pets like they are her own. I have two cats that are pretty picky and needy. With no trouble at all she took incredible care of them. Would recommend to anyone that wants to go on vacation and not have to worry about anything!”
“Louise is amazing! She takes great care of our two cats with drop ins. We look forward to the pictures she sends each visit. She’s a great communicator and obviously loves animals.”
“Brianna was so wonderful at taking care of our cat while we were gone. He had an ear infection and she was able to give him his ear drops and check on him and help us feel at ease while out of town. We would definitely recommend!”
“Super helpful and thorough! Always sends the cutest pictures and updates me on every visit! This is the third time Zoe has dropped in multiple days in a row on my cat and she always takes good care of him and communication is always great!”
“Quinn was great with our kitty cat! We got some great pictures and could tell Kitty was super happy and loved Quinn’s company. Quinn was also super flexible and accommodating. Thanks Quinn for everything! We’re looking forward to having you again in the future 😊”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. From taking care of cattle on our ranch, to our first family dog when I was 7 years old. More than 30 years later, loving and caring for animals has been a consistent my entire life. I trained my own rescue pup and we shared 9 incredible years together. She went everywhere with me including the gym. I know what it’s like to have a four legged friend be the love of your life. I also volunteered with a local animal rescue and have done some unusual and complex care for unique animals (everything from treating fungus on a Harris’s hawk’s talons to bottle-feeding orphaned porcupines), and most recently helped my own dog through her senior years, including multiple daily medications and giving her a rich full life despite complex needs. That last part matters most for how I work: if your pet needs a strict medication schedule, has anxiety, or requires special handling, I take it seriously and follow instructions exactly. I’m not learning on the job, I’ve done it for a dog I love. I’m a reliable and a clear communicator. You’ll get updates, photos, and honesty, no surprises. Currently offering drop-in visits and walks in Missoula. All sizes and ages welcome, including seniors and pets with medical needs. I’m currently remote and self-employed, which gives me a flexible, predictable schedule I can build client visits around. I’m available weekdays for drop-in visits and walks, and I build my work hours around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. I check messages regularly and confirm visit times clearly in advance, so you always know exactly when I’ll arrive. I’m a lifelong Missoulian with the kind of reputation where my neighbors have me hold on to their extra house keys. Trust and communication are incredibly important to me. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions exactly, feeding times, medication schedules, leash routines, and anything specific to your furry companion. I’m experienced administering medication that doesn’t require needles and comfortable with pets who need extra care or a calmer pace. I always double-check doors and gates are secure before leaving, and I send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and cared for.
“Molly is wonderful! Communicative and reliable. She shows up on time and is able to handle my two energetic pups on walks. We will for sure book with her again!”
About: I've had my own pets for over ten years, including a reactive dog so I know all pups need love! I've been the go-to dog and cat sitter for friends and family since I could drive, everything from weekend trips to month long visits, I've always been happy to help! As a pet parent we all know we need extra hands sometimes! I work part time, so although the times might vary based on the day, I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I know how hard it is to leave your furry babies, so I try to make sure that I do my best to quell that anxiety when I can! I've had to leave my pups with friends and loved ones before, so I know that worries of someone outside of your family stopping in. I listen to all boundaries just the same as I would expect a pet sitter to do for me. That's the golden rule: Treats others (and their spaces) how you would want to be treated.
“WOW! Awesome job done by Haley! We were gone on a Friday through Monday trip. Our dog (Sadie) is an older, diabetic mixed breed dog with bad back legs, which required frequent / extra visits. She was taken such good care of by Haley. We enjoyed receiving the photos / updates while we were gone. It was very reassuring to see her happy and taken care of by Haley. Sadie was so relaxed and happy when we returned. We look forward to having her care for our dog again in the future. Our Family highly recommends Haley.”
“Josephine and her daughter did a great job with drop-in visits taking care of our dog Sadie. Flexible and accommodating to our schedule with daily check-in pictures. Will definitely use again on our next trip.”
“Kaitlyn was a wonderful cat sitter. She is thoughtful and went above and beyond taking care of our kitty while we were away. She checked in for everyday she saw our kitty and I felt so good knowing she was watching over her. Kaitlyn is our new go to cat sitter!”
“Matthew is a 10/10 sitter. He's taken care of my cat a handful of times and does a stellar job communicating, cleaning, and ensuring your friend is happy and healthy while you are away!”
“I will absolutely be reaching out to Luisa next time I need a pet sitter. They took time to meet in person beforehand, asked thoughtful questions on care, and took great care of my cat while I was away. I highly recommend Luisa as a pet sitter, you can be confident your pet is good hands.”

Brianna was consistent in checking in with our cats. She went above and beyond, sending pictures of them and ensuring they got some treats while we were away. The litterboxes were kept clean and she always stayed on top of refilling their water and ensuring their feeder was full. We are so appreciative of Brianna's care. While our cats are shy, they seemed happy and relaxed when we arrived home. We would love to book Brianna again for cat sitting in the future! :) I cannot recommend her more!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Liv has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Finn and Carter. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about them. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re being checked on by someone so attentive and kind. She always sends thoughtful updates and photos, and I can tell my boys are comfortable and happy with her. Finn and Carter both took to her right away, which says a lot. I really appreciate how dependable and caring she’s been, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Missoula on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 415 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Missoula. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Missoula stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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
- 96% 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.
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.
