About: Growing up with animals has taught me the importance of their care and well being. They are all so unique, why we love them so! I work for myself in Bozeman, therefore I have a very flexible schedule. I am available seven days a week, all times of the day! I have a very large yard right on the trails. We are close to streams for swimming and Peet’s hill for socializing, we stay entertained!
“Ashley was a fantastic communicator and sent pupdates. I was very comfortable leaving Nova with her. They did so many fun activities. I highly recommend Ashley and would definitely go with her again.”
“Emma was an amazing sitter for my pup, Crouton! I had to go out of town last minute for a few days and Emma was thankfully available. Crouton got along really well with her pup, Nova. I got ample updates and pictures. Crouton seemed so happy during her stay, I would definitely rebook with Emma again!”
“Holly was great with my aussie, Draper! 😊 She clearly loves dogs. She practiced great safety in feeding separate, having separate areas if needed, having AC and access to water throughout the home so her dog and my dog could both enjoy their time together! Her puppy is sweet and had great manners with my dog. I was super confident my pup would be well taken care of while I was out. Would book again!”
“Naomi and her cat duchess were so good to my senior dog Cody. He was very happy and totally at ease when I went to pick him up. This was a last minute booking and Naomi was great about it. Would highly recommend her.”
“Margaret was great with Penny. Penny was pretty anxious when we left her, and Margaret helped her to feel comfortable and happy. She lives in a great spot with a fenced back yard where Penny could hang out and explore. We recommend Margaret and would definitely ask her to watch Penny again.”
“Wendy & Brian were super great with our dog Finn, both in coordination of her overnight visit and patient with us using this service for the first time. Finn was well taken care of and we felt at ease leaving Finn with Wendy & family despite her not being used to boarding or overnight visits without us. It made it easy for us to enjoy our boating trip in the Park without having to worry about Finn’s safety & comfort.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life and truly love them. I love puppies, senior dogs, and any pup in between! I am willing to do walks, meds, or whatever your furry friend needs! I am a stay at home mom of 3 sweet girls, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am available most days and times for meet and greets and drop offs I have a fenced yard and a 1yo spayed Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lady! I have a two story home with a gate to block the stairs. I have a small sized doggy door so the dogs are able to be in and out as they please!
“Lillian was personable, professional and an excellent communicator. Turk absolutely loved his time with her and we have found the perfect pet sitter for the many adventures ahead in 2027. Look no further. Lillian is the Best of the Best.”
“Raina provided excellent care for our dog Sienna. She quickly made Sienna feel comfortable, giving us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We got regular updates and Raina was always responsive with our communication, which was much appreciated as well! If you are in need of a thoughtful, responsive, and caring pet sitter, we would recommend Raina (& Ridley)!”
“Katherine was such a fabulous dogsitter. She was our first Rover and she set the bar so high. She is a great communicator, she was flexible with us when our trip plans changed and was flexible with planning around drop off/pick up. She sent us daily updates of their adventures with pics and videos. We kept joking the dog was having a better vacation than we were. We would absolutely send our pup to stay with Katherine and Nuggets again and would happily recommend her to others.”
“This was a very positive experience, she kept in great contact with us the whole time and made me feel very comfortable leaving my babies. Sent lots of picture of them playing in the yard with the ball. My babies are home now very happy and tired. Would definitely book again!!”
“Patsy was super accommodating and is always patient and loving with my pups, who sometimes require some extra patience and care. One of my dogs started medications right before they were scheduled to board, and Patsy graciously agreed to administer them and took great care of my angel!”

I cannot thank you guys enough for taking such good care of Turbo. He was so happy with you and it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Thank you for the detailed daily updates and photos and for all the love and snuggles you gave him. He will be back again!
Such a wonderful experience! Gary was incredibly understanding of my anxiety about leaving my dog and went above and beyond to make us both feel comfortable. I really appreciated how thoughtfully he introduced our dogs, starting with a long walk together. He sent daily pictures, videos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. His beautiful 11-acre property was an absolute dream for my dog to explore and thrive! You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I couldn’t recommend him more!
Ashley was great to work with. we did a meet and great with her and roommates prior to to the booking. Her experience made it smooth and eased me to the process. She genuinely enjoys doing this work which made the booking easy for my dog. My dog is a cuddler and has some separation anxiety with me and she made it comfortable. I will be looking to work with her more in the future.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Story is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $83 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 of November 2026, there are 169 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Story. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Story can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Story home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Story.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Story. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
You and your Story sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
