“Very friendly and competent sitter. She was able to follow instructions, make decisions on her own, and pets were always very happy in her photos! Perfect experience, thank you!!”
“Even before our booking, Savannah was thorough and showed her care for our pets. She asked great questions and was sure to understand our pets needs. During our time away, she was communicative and put us at ease!”
“We recently got a puppy to go along with our older dog and Nicolas handled both with ease! He communicated well and the dogs were worn out and happy. He’s my first call to help with dogs.”
About: I am a responsible, attentive, and caring, looking to get my share fix of fur babies! I have grown up with dogs and cats, and dogsat for others. I am able to bathe, love, give attention, walk, and play with your fur babies! I currently work full time, but am pretty flexible with my long lunch breaks. I am able to travel to Bozeman or Belgrade, my current job has me located in both! With that, I am able to give your dog a walk, feed them, let them out to the bathroom, or to just play in the mornings, during lunch time, and in evenings! I will care for the pets by making sure they are always fed and given water, shown love through playing and giving them attention, and keeping them safe.
About: I have over 3 years of experience working in a pet boarding/ daycare facility and about 2 1/2 years of pet sitting/ walking before. I have IBSA certifications in canine breeds, body language and communication in animals, and customer service/ management. I also learned how to administer medications and keep the pets engaged in enrichment throughout the day as well as keeping the facility clean. I have also had a great opportunity to volunteer at a local humane society over the summer. I am currently a full time student at Montana State University pursuing a bachelors degree in microbiology in the prevet track, so I will need to work around my school schedule however I’m open to figure out times that work best for the animals. As someone with hands-on experience working at a pet resort, I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, needs, and routine so I can provide care that works best for them. During drop-in visits, I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention, depending on each owner's instructions. For dog walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, staying aware of our surroundings, and following each owner's preferences. I respect every client's home and always make sure pets are safe and comfortable before I leave. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind while they're apart!
About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life. I have experience taking care of animals with special needs, including those with medications, partial paralysis, hyperactive tendencies, senior animals and babies, both dogs and cats. Safety is a priority for me - I will always triple check harnesses and leashes and make sure that gates and doors are properly latched and locked. Your pet will always be treated with kindness and respect, and, with your permission, I will also offer extra treats to spoil your furry family member when I check in on them or take them for walks. I will often have weekend availability but sometimes weekday mornings as well (namely, Tuesday and Thursday mornings). Fridays I will be available on a rotating basis. I will carefully follow all client instructions to ensure that their pets are safe, healthy, and properly cared for. Animals will always be treated with kindness and respect, and they will receive lots and lots of pets when under my care. For dog-walking services, I routinely re-check leash attachment and recommend puppy parents use harnesses to reduce choking possibilities from pulling against collars. I encourage play and snuggles (though there may be more of one than another depending on the temperament of each pet).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, etc... since I was very little. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am a graduate nursing student at MSU looking for some extra side gigs! I adore all kinds of animals. I am always happy to go let your pet out or take them for mid-day walks, or watch them overnight for weekends away - just reach out to ask about availability! I love walking, running, and hiking around local trails, adore trips to dog parks, and general play time. I absolutely adore all animals - especially dogs and cats!
About: Since I was young I have always loved dogs. I lost my 12 year old Alaskan Malamute a few years ago and would love to help with other dogs to feel the void of missing my buddy. I love hiking so if your dog needs to burn some extra energy I would gladly take your dog on a hike. I work nights as a server Tuesday-Saturday. The longest stretch of time I’m usually at work would be 3pm-9/930pm. I have fairly open availability with adequate notice. I would love to take your dog on a hike, to the dog park, or on a walk! I live in an apartment that unfortunately does not allow pets, but I'm happy to take them to a dog park or on a hike or hangout with them at your place.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years and love what I do! I have also owned cats, dogs and many other animals of my own. I have experience with puppies, kittens and also senior care. I provide walking, drop in and sitting care I currently work Monday-Thursday during the day which makes me available for any and all weekend/weeknight care needs! I am also available to stay in your home overnight for pets with a greater need for care. When caring for your pets, I emphasize keeping you in the loop. I like to provide updates/pictures to ease your mind while you enjoy your time away from home.
About: I’ve had pets all my life and have watched tons of pets, I will take care of them and love them just as I would my own I do work 4 days a week 2pm-10pm. I can use my breaks in between to keep an eye on them as well if needed I have a fenced in yard and 3 wonderful and friendly dogs. And any specified rules you have for any of your pets will be followed and will be treated with love
About: As a veterinary nurse for 3+ years, I have learned a great deal about animal wellbeing and behavior. Each pet is a snowflake, and they all have special quirks about them. My animal care journey first started as a teen working at a dog kennel. This gave me a lot of exposure to different breeds, their eating habits, and some quick, natural fixes to help with digestive issues. I began working in a veterinary hospital in town for a year until I moved to Oregon, where I worked at a mixed animal clinic for 2 years. I recently moved back to Bozeman but still fill my days with veterinary medicine. I’m honored to support pets through some of the hardest days of their life in the most compassionate ways that I can. I am very comfortable taking on dogs and cats with different physical, medical, and social needs. I’m also able to watch pocket pets, goats, sheep, and pigs. As someone who regularly works around pets that are experiencing something outside of their routine, I am deeply passionate about making them as comfortable, and happy as possible! I would love to meet you and your furry (or bald!) companion so you can enjoy that overdue R&R or a quick weekend away! I work full time M-F with Wednesdays off. I am available any reasonable time outside those hours for walks, drop ins, potty breaks, feeding time, etc.! Since I am only accepting drop ins and walks right now, my time spent in your home is pretty limited unless you request otherwise. I take my shoes off when entering, and I return things to their original places (leashes, remaining treats, spare key, etc.). I treat your home as if it were my own!
About: I have had high energy dogs mostly heelers and love to take them outside for adventures. It helps me bond with them and teach them to be social. I currently work evenings and bring my our dog out for walks all the time during the day. I love taking him to the dog park and hiking and have room to bring others with me. I mostly take my dog to the dog park and leash him when I take him hiking. I would be able to bring another dog with us when we adventure.
About: I have been caring for animals for friends, family, and neighbors since I was in middle school! Now that I am a college student, I am looking to make some extra money and would love to offer my services to those that need it. I am typically free but please be mindful that I am a college student with a weekday class schedule. I also may have vacation plans that conflict with my schedule, but I will be sure to communicate those dates when they get closer! I am very detail oriented and will follow any and all instructions I am given to take care of your furry friend ( or friends)! I have 3 dogs, 1 bird, and a gecko at home, so I am more than willing to follow any steps needed that will provide the best care for your pet.
“My kitty Millie is so shy but Katy just pulls her out of her shell. Katy is a wonderful pet friend - patient, caring and kind. I wouldn’t trust my kitty with anyone else. 5+ stars!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Patterson
Kaelleh is very kind, attentive, and detail-oriented. She was wonderful with my animals to include horses, dogs, and a cat. I would not hesitate to recommend her, she checks in consistently and sends detailed photos and a list of what she did during that day. I feel very lucky to have had her help while I was away.
Kaeli was very quick to respond upon my initial request to check in on our cat for a long weekend. She communicated very well to meet us prior to committing, and Kaeli was immediately a friendly, easy going and trustworthy sitter. She updated me with each visit and sent photos so we had peace of mind. I’m so happy to have found Kaeli and will absolutely be using her for future jobs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Patterson is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 571 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Patterson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Patterson. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
