About: Reliable, experienced, and genuinely happy to be there. That's what your dog gets with me. I'm a full-time professional pet sitter focused on drop-in visits and neighborhood walks, and I've been caring for animals for twenty years, from friends' and family's pets to 25+ five-star house-sitting stays through TrustedHousesitters, plus a growing record here on Rover. I've worked with puppies through seniors, high-energy dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs on complicated medication schedules. Most of what I do is simple, and I do it the same way every time. Your dog gets out, gets exercise suited to their age and energy, gets fed on schedule, and gets real attention instead of a rushed fifteen minutes. If they're reactive, shy, or slow to warm up to strangers, tell me. I'd rather move slowly on the first visit than push a dog who isn't ready. I answer messages the moment they come in, since my phone and watch are always on me, and I send photo updates through Rover Cards after every single visit. You'll never wonder whether I showed up. Pet care is my full-time work, not something I fit around another job. That means I can cover midday walks while you're at the office, twice-daily visits while you're traveling, and I'm often able to take same-day requests when something comes up. My calendar is updated daily. If you see availability, it's real. I care for pets in their own homes, where they're most comfortable. On the first visit I confirm the essentials in writing: entry and lockup, leash and harness setup, where the leash lives, any door or gate a dog can slip through, food storage and portions, and your vet's information. I lock up behind me every time, keep dogs leashed unless we're in a securely fenced space you've approved, and text you right away if anything seems off, whether it's a limp, a skipped meal, or an unusual mess. I'd rather send a message you didn't need than stay quiet about something that mattered. I'm also Pet First Aid & CPR certified, so if something more serious ever comes up, I have the training to respond rather than just guess what to do.
“Abby is very personable and easy to connect with. These qualities make for a great walker especially when it comes to hiring strangers to walk your fur baby. She’s been great with my (very territorial) 5 year old Aussie shepherd and I wish I’d found her sooner!”

About: Will take the best care of your pet possible. Huge animal lover. Have had many different kinds of animals big and small. Would love to make some extra money doing what I love and would love to meet your furry friends. I have a husky puppy of my own who loves to play an go on adventures and would love to have some friends to go with him. Comfortable giving your pet any types of medicine they may need also grooming and bathing. Can take them hiking or to the creek or just sit back at home an play with toys. Also can keep overnight if needed. If interested please feel free to contact me at anytime I would love to take care of your furry friends
“Daria was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she took extra care to make sure they both got included in chuck it (one is a bit of a ball hog). She walked and played with them daily, I would definitely use her again!”

About: I have grown up having pets of my own and been responsible for at least part of their care for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was 15 or so I have cared for a variety of dogs and cats, in addition to the occasional chicken or rodent, for friends, family, and strangers alike. I genuinely enjoy getting to spend time around any animal, particularly because I don't have any of my own out here. I am a graduate student and work part-time so I have lots of flexible availability to hang out with pets of all kinds! My schedule is constantly shifting which means I do often have gaps in my days to walk or care for animals. I can play with or walk dogs in the comfort of their own home, or take them elsewhere for a hike or park adventure, as I have a decent sized car and am comfortable sharing my space. It's also easy to just take some time out of my day to be around pets who need companionship or some love on a daily basis.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting with my Westie, then my tortoiseshell cat, and now my energetic Border Collie/Heeler mix. Having pets with different personalities and needs has taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and dedicated care. I’m a safe, trustworthy person who truly enjoys making animals feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I’m also very active and love running, hiking, and biking, so I’m especially great with energetic dogs who need lots of exercise and engagement. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. I’m currently a substitute teacher in Bozeman, and pet sitting through Rover is a meaningful way for me to supplement my income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Working in schools has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to detail, which naturally carry over into the way I care for animals. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I live right along a park, so daily walks are already a big part of my routine with my Border Collie/Heeler mix. My dog is very friendly, active, and would love to have some new walking buddies from time to time. We spend a lot of time outside exploring trails, getting exercise, and enjoying fresh air, so your dog would get plenty of activity, attention, and companionship while in my care. If you would NOT like your furry friend to have a companion, please let me know, and I can accomodate whatever routines you have.

About: I have been spending time and caring for dogs for over 20 years. I love puppies, elderly dogs and all ages in between! I recently had to say a very sad farewell to my 13 year old dog Boonie. I rescued him from a jungle in Guam and he was my best and trusted friend. He was reactive to dogs due to his life experiences around other wild dogs. As such, I became skilled at navigating walking him in environments where he could have the walks he deserved without worry. All dogs deserve this! For those active dogs who don't need extra care while walking and can adventure where other dogs roam free, I love to go on hikes! I have plenty of free time Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm for pet care. I am only caring for pets during weekdays for now. I am happy to come to your home for drop in visits and walks with your pup and will follow any schedule and routine that makes your dog comfortable and happy.

About: I love dogs and would love the opportunity to watch yours. I am a very active person, I love being outside. I'm happy to take the dog out as much as you'd like, to the beach on hikes etc. I also have great references. I can't wait to meet you and your pup!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 Years old and have had experience with both young and senior pets. I was responsible for training some of my own family's pets, and I enjoy adapting to basic training with puppies or providing gentle and patient care for older pets who need extra support. I am very reliable with feeding schedules, medications, and updates so you can feel fully confidnet you pet is in good hands! Pet care fits into my routine by being something I attentively prioritize and plan around. I structure my schedule so I can give pets full attention during visits and walks. I am flexible with all times throughout the day, whether that be mornings, afternoons, or evenings. This helps me to accommodate feeding schedules, exercise needs, and check-ins. I prioritize building my day to be reliable so each pet receives consistent and effective care. When I am caring for a client's pet, I follow an established routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure under my care. I prioritize important aspects of schedules, including feedings, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I keep homes clean, respect the spaces of those I am hired by, and love to provide regular photo updates so owners know their pet is doing well. My overall goal is to keep a calm, familiar environment that reduces stress for pets.

About: I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them. I’ve been sitter for neighbors and family since I was 16.

About: I combine reliable, attentive care with a genuine love for dogs. Whether it’s energetic walks or just hanging out while they nap, I adapt to what your dog needs.

I believe pets are most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I exclusively provide care in my clients’ homes. This helps reduce stress and keeps your dog’s routine consistent.
