“Seriously the best dogsitter ever! I was in town for an event with a schedule that kept changing so my plans were all over the place and Danielle was so helpful and came to the rescue last minute when I needed an extra day of daycare. My dog came home happy and he clearly had fun :) I've already booked Danielle again!”

About: Thought I'd try this app out to make an extra buck. I am a lover of all pets, well maybe not spiders. I grew up in the remote country of Wisconsin, with a bunch of farm animals, as well as cats and dogs. Growing up with pets, and farm animals is crucial for knowing animals. I'm always taking my roommates dog for walks, and to the dog park. We have a big fenced in yard in the heart of Missoula. Meru (my roommates female dog) is really friendly and loves all other cats and dogs. I would focus my energy on your dogs and cats of course, but if Meru and your dogs cross paths they'll be best friends for the day. Hope to hear from you, and lend a helping hand with your best friends.
About: I have over 6 years of pet care experience and a genuine love for animals of all ages and personalities! I grew up with dogs and cats and quickly learned how to care for them with patience, structure, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for puppies, and helping with potty training. I also enjoy teaching basic tricks and reinforcing good habits to keep your pets happy and engaged. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. As a college student who can’t commit to adopting right now, caring for your pets brings me so much joy. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away :) I am currently working from home, I just need my computer and WiFi and have flexible availability, let me know what your pets schedule is and I should be available most of the day! I can take your pet out on a lash when going outside to make sure we’re safe! I will make sure your home is taken care of and everything is done according to the clients instructions
“Ben does an excellent job in caring for your pet! Our dog was walked daily and had the advantage of spending the day with Ben’s good natured dog. Stress free environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. I highly recommend Ben as a caregiver. Just don’t take our spot! Truly a great experience for our dog and helped us tremendously. Thanks Ben!!!”

“I was in need of a last-minute dog sitter and Tavia responded quickly and saved the day! She was great with our pup and took several cute photos for us to let us know he was okay. I highly recommend her!”

“Bison LOVED her stay with Aderley! She had so much fun she didn’t want to come home! Aderley took amazing care of Bison, like she was her own! I’m so happy I found Aderley, she is the sweetest and has the kindest heart! I couldn’t recommend her more!! She played with Bison, walked her, fed her and snuggled her! I will definitely be booking with Aderley again!”

“Jennifer was great! My puppy loved hanging out with her and the other dogs. Perfect backyard for lots of playtime and fun. Loved all the videos and pictures she sent throughout the day. I will be using her again and would recommend to everyone else!”
About: I've been around dogs most of my life and love making new furry best friends! In my care, your dog will be well cared for and loved. I enjoy hiking after work and on the weekends, as will your pup! I have cared for high energy dogs, working dogs, and senior dogs. My home has a 7 year old English Shepherd that can play endless fetch, loves running and romping on the local trails. While you are away, I'll provide daily (sometimes hourly!) photos of your doggy having the time of their life. I can always give you an update via text or phone call during the stay as well. I work at home and have flexible hours and can be available for mid-day check-ins and walks. I'm home in the evenings as well. I love dogs and I've been watching friends' and family dogs for many years, and can't wait to watch yours! I work from home with a flexible schedule so am able to provide lots of attention and can base dog walks around the temperature to keep everyone happy and active. I take lots of breaks during the day to play and walk with my own dog. With my flexible schedule, I am able to tailor care for your pet in whatever way suits them best. I carefully monitor all dog interactions to watch for behavior and will happily follow any norms or rules you have for your pup!
“Heather was great with my boys! They were treated as part of her family. I got updates and pictures everyday. One of my boys is shy and a little anxious, but was comfortable being left in Heather’s care. Her children were also great with Cooper and Duffy. Heather is the first person I will contact when back in town with my boys.”

About: I’m comfortable will pets of all sizes and breeds. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life (including horses and goats) and enjoy working with them. I work from home and attend classes virtually, so I can provide care at any time and ensure your loved one gets potty breaks, walks, and fed according to their needs and established routines. I am happy to provide other home care including watering plants, bringing in mail, setting out trash, and feeding and caring for livestock or hobby herds.
About: Hello there! My name is Iris and I’m an Outdoor Educator and avid outdoors person with a flexible schedule! I grew up with a variety of dogs and cats, primarily medium to large sized dogs and stray cats we brought in to nurture and love. In my home we have 1 dog and 1 cat who are best friends! we have 40 acres of land but none of it is fenced so we have trained our pup to stay close. our daily routine will be at least a wlak a day plus some games of chase or tag. I am currently in a transition to a new job so I am full of free time! I will typically take my dog Cedar on a walk in my morning with my tea and then we will snuggle, play fetch, maybe go to the dog park and then go on another evening stroll I love all animals dearly and cannot wait to care for yours. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement, as well as being keen on each animals physical cues (body language) as to react appropriately in each moment. I am willing and able to adapt my behavior around your pet(s) to suit your training preferences. I also think that activity and mental stimulation play a huge part in a dogs behavior so I will put lots of time and energy into that
“Megan is both responsive and responsible. She seamlessly folded my dog Emerson into her play time with her cute dog Cheddar. She sent several pictures to show that Emerson had a great day! I would definitely use Megan again if I need sitting in the Missoula area. Thanks Megan and Cheddar!”

About: Hello! My name is Maddie. I am a full time student - athlete, I am now in off season and would like to spend my time with some furry friends. As an out of state college student, I am missing my two pups back home. I love dogs and would treat your pet like my own! I am very experienced with my own dogs and I’ve been on Rover for a couple of years now. I would love to help you by watching and caring for your pet, but you’re also helping me! I miss my dogs, and having a pet around would make me so happy! I will be back in town January 20th and I am very free each week. The only times that I am busy are on Tuesday/ Thursday from 1:30-3:30 I live in a pet friendly home with a very large backyard with lots of room to run and play. Dogs are allowed on furniture and if crates are needed I am also able to do that, whatever makes you and your pup comfortable.

University District dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla was extremely great with Koda. She took time to make sure he was fed and took him outside multiple times despite the cold. She responded promptly and made sure to do as I asked. I would 100% have Kayla sit Koda again and recommend her to other people looking for pet sitters!

Maria was great! We were camping and needed a spot for Bella to stay while we attended a concert. Maria was more than welcoming to take Bella for a few hours in the evening! I’m always nervous with Bella and new people/places because she’s a bit more on the timid side. Maria sent me pictures and updates as Bella settled in, alleviating all my worries! She catered to Bella’s needs as a more timid pup and I’m very happy with the care she received ! Will definitely book again if in town.
