“Madie was awesome! We had her dog/house sit for 5 nights 6 days. Our 3 kids range from 12 to a rambunctious 1 years old. She did great with all of them. Any concerns or questions she had she quickly communicated and kept us up to date daily. She was so flexible and easy to work with. We will definitely request her again. You can tell the puppy still misses her. She’s been looking for her all morning!!!”
“Cate did an excellent job ? ? ? taking care of our puppies and our place. She is clean, extremely respecful and reliable. Our dogs bonded with her immediately after meeting her and we loved the peace of mind. Very responsive and flexible. Receiving pictures during our trip was awesome. Thank you so much for loving our babies...”
About: I grew up with dogs so I have experience with puppies - older dogs. I enjoy dogs of all ages and sizes. I have years of experience walking and dog sitting friends, families and neighbors dogs. I work from home / remotely so I have the flexibility to take care of your dog during the day and make sure they get the activity needed throughout the day. Will be available on weekends with enough notice. In my home I have a yard that dogs can access with a great walking area on leash. For taking care of a dog in clients home I will make sure there is nothing the dog can get into and check the surrounding environments to make sure the dog is protected at all times with out limiting activity.
“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”
“Valeria, stayed overnight to take care of our three dogs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so fortunate that she came to help us out with the overnight stay. She did a great job communicating and sending picture of the dogs. We will definitely use her services again.”
“savannah was excellent, always kept me updated and really paid close attention to my dog who i love so much. i felt so great on my time away knowing she was there to help us and care for him.”
“We needed a someone to watch after Lily who has separation anxiety, and gets lonely when we leave for an extended time. It was so nice that Shannon was there, as well as her sweet dog Wrangler. I’m sure lily was relieved to have their company! And I was put at ease that she was in good hands. Shannon is very reliable, clean and friendly. She even watered my plants. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Emily did both house sitting and dog sitting for us while we took an eight-day vacation. She took excellent car of our border collie, Sadie, walking her every day and just keeping her company. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. I would use Emily again and I recommend her highly.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Megan S. was absolutely exceptional — she kept us updated throughout the entire stay with regular check-ins and so many adorable photos that put our minds completely at ease. Our dogs were so well cared for, and it was clear they were in wonderful hands. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again for future trips and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!”
“Taylor was great with the puppies. He was nice enough to stop by the night before to meet them. Both puppies seemed to really like him. He also sent picture updates through the day and took them for a nice walk. I would definitely recommend him to a friend.”
“Tressa is an extraordinary and superstar house/dog sitter! I'm so glad that we found someone as patient, sweet and professional to help out with our dog Chicky while we were out of town. Our pup has some reactivity issues with new people, especially in our home, and Tressa was incredibly understanding and gentle while taking the time to come over and get to know Chicky before our trip. Tressa had no problem understanding the special needs of Chicky, and after a day of us being gone, they had built trust together and were quickly becoming best buds, which was surprising to us as Chicky usually takes longer to warm up to a new person. This is testament to Tressa's care and ability to really understand the nuances of our dog, and Chicky trusted her right away (wow, still amazing to us!). Tressa is also a wonderful person and sent us tons of updates while we were gone, which warmed our hearts knowing that Chicky had made a new friend for life. Our house was immaculate when we returned. I truly believe Tressa is the best house/dog sitter in the Bozeman/Belgrade area - highly recommend!”
“We had another great experience with Jenna! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our fur babies. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We would definitely book with Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Gabby was amazing! She was very responsive, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our girl while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and would absolutely work with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Emma did an incredible job taking care of our 5 year old Golden Retriever while we were on vacation. She was great at sending updates and she is very responsive to texts. She was able to devote the whole week to taking care of our dog so she was able to get him lots of exercise and attention. Emma is very responsible and friendly and she went above and beyond what was asked of her and I couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Katie was great. She sent pictures of the pups which made us feel comfortable and know that they were okay and allowed us to enjoy our trip. Definitely recommend. Thank you Katie”
“Shea was fantastic! I asked her to stay at my home to care for my cat, Zeema and pup, George. She came ahead of time to meet both of them. She is kind, caring and respectful and took excellent care of my pets and my home. She gave George nice long walks and sent pictures. I would definitely trust Shea in my home and to care for George and Zeema again!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! I will 100% be booking again. She was very communicative and constantly sending me pics (even got some of him in a pumpkin costume and some professional ones lol!) My pup is older, so he needs to go to the bathroom more often and she was able to accommodate that with her work schedule. Also he needs to take pills and she was great at making sure he got them. I’m thankful I found someone who loves Blu just as much to watch him while I’m gone. She’s the best!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Patterson
Jesse was great with our two corgis! It was extremely hot this weekend and he was very aware to get them out early before it was too warm, and then again in the evening once it started to cool off. They were in great spirits when we arrived back home! Would highly recommend.
Nicolas, or Cole, watched Riley and Orion for us while we were gone several hours at a wedding. He kept in touch with us, took the pups for potty walks and sent photos to update us. Riley isn't always comfortable with men, but she was all over Cole, and Orion loved him, too!! He fed them, and they both ate, which isn't always a given during travel and new places. Cole was great with them, and they may have wanted to go home with him if we'd let them 😁 Thank you for making it much easier and worry-free to be at my niece's wedding. We appreciate the help!!
Rochelle was so wonderful with Yeti and with our house while we were away! She sent lots of updates and promptly answered every time we checked in. She was willing to meet up with us multiple times before our reservation began, which made us feel so much better leaving. She is a truly kind person and I would trust her with Yeti anytime in the future <3. We are so lucky we found her!

Megan S. was absolutely exceptional — she kept us updated throughout the entire stay with regular check-ins and so many adorable photos that put our minds completely at ease. Our dogs were so well cared for, and it was clear they were in wonderful hands. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again for future trips and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!
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 :)
McKenna couldn't have been more fabulous! My pup loved her and she was so thorough in providing updates. Knowing she cares for animals on a full-time basis and just getting to chat with her a little bit, I felt fully confident my pup was in good hands. Her communication prior to and during the stay was so appreciated. Thanks McKenna!

FAQs for House Sitting - Patterson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Patterson on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 438 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Patterson. 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 Patterson 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 Patterson 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 Patterson 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 Patterson. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
