Highly-rated overnight sitters - De Smet
“Emma is a true gem…my only regret is not finding her sooner…the day before our first stay, my dog Mellow received a diagnosis of a fast acting terminal cancer…I was worried about leaving him but I needed to fly out of state due to a death in my family…she was super sensitive, flexible when my plans changed slightly, communicative and attended to delivering his newly prescribed meds…she did everything to make his stay with her and my concerns as comfortable as possible... he loved the added benefit of getting to sleep on her bed. Thank you Emma for making his first and last time with you wonderful.”

“Maeve had a fantastic time with Brianna! I loved getting all the pictures of her playing in the water and with the other dogs. She settled in nicely and had a great time!”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog. Stella came home happy, tired and with as little anxiety as I’ve ever seen her have after a sitter experience. I would give ten stars if that was an option!”

“Our pup, Chaco, was in amazing hands! She loved her walks, swims in the river, playtime with her best dog friend Juniper, and extra cuddles from the kids. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the day. It made our days while being away. We also had a travel delay and Gabrielle was able to host our pup for another day. It was extremely helpful. Definitely love the family for taking amazing care of our pup! 💕🐾”
“Teresa's home was a good place for Nessie, my husky, to stay. She has a nice backyard with tall fences to keep her contained, and our dogs did fine when greeting. Teresa sent photos which is always nice to see. I would use her again.”
“Friendly and responsive care. Our pup had a great time hanging with Bryan and Ron, and excellent photo and video updates throughout the weekend left us feeling good as well.”
“Had a great experience with Nicole! She was friendly and made me feel comfortable leaving my young border collie with her over the weekend! She was looking after another dog as well and they both became best friends while I was away! She has a nice backyard for the dogs, and took them on some long walks. Nicole sent updates of Dusty so I was able to feel at ease while away from him, and he was happy to see me when I returned, thanks Nicole!”
“Chimmy had a great stay with Ben! He took her on a camping adventure, got her outside for plenty of exercise and fun, and she enjoyed the company of Tuuli. We were able to enjoy a weekend away knowing our dog was in great hands. We hope to book with Ben again! Thank you.”
“This is an excellent property if you’re leaving your pooch for a few days. Lots of space with an excellent care provider. Sarah kept us updated with activity reports and (fantastic) photos. We will absolutely bring Duke back here again!”
About: Animals have been a constant in my life since childhood. I've loved and cared for many pets of my own - dogs, cats, ferrets, small animals, reptiles, birds, and fish - which has given me hands-on experience with everything from syringe feeding to crate, house, and litter box training to medical and senior care. I've fostered rescues, volunteered at the Humane Society, worked in pet stores, and looked after friends' and neighbors' pets many times over the years. I'm attentive, calm, and protective, with a deep respect for all living beings. When you trust me with your pet, you can count on them being safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I'm home throughout the week so pets in my care are never left unsupervised and get plenty of attention, interaction, and companionship. If there are any daytime hours where I may need to be away from home, that will always be communicated clearly with owners ahead of time during scheduling. I have two small dogs and a cat of my own, so I'm very mindful about maintaining a calm environment, always paying close attention to the comfort, boundaries, and safety of each animal. My one-level home has a fully fenced backyard where pets enjoy supervised outdoor time for play, exercise, and potty breaks. Pets in my care are treated like members of the family, and because I prioritize consistent supervision and safety, I do not offer off-property pack walks during boarding stays.
“Carol (and her husband) are just wonderful. They have such a calm, kind energy. I felt immediately comfortable with them and my nervous little pup did too. Their home is clean and quiet and welcoming, and the back yard is enormous and fully fenced. I’m very happy to have found this lovely place, and felt fortunate we could be accommodated on short notice.”
“Dani is sweet! My Soka loves visiting her. She gets plenty of exercise in walks and lots of nurturing snuggle time. Dani is great with communication and flexibility. Will continue to use when possible”
“Our older dog was well taken care of by Ellen. We received cute updates and quick communication. Would be happy to have her look after our Sidney again and Sidney would be happy to see her!”
“Addie took such great care of our boy fisher! We got lots of pictures of adventures and walks, which clearly showed that he was having a good time. She was also very understanding when we had an unexpected flight delay the last day of our trip. Would highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for a beloved elderly dog! Carmen sent us lots of updates and we could tell that Maddy was having a great time. Can’t wait to use Carmen again!”
“Loved Delaney she was absolutely wonderful. She took amazing care of Eddy. Im extremely happy with her and bullet and I plan on having her care for Eddy again”

“Maddisyn did an amazing job watching my fur baby for my 8 day vacation! Seeing as this is my first time hiring a pet sitter, I was super nervous to entrust my cat to someone I didn’t know but Maddisyn erased any worries I had! She’s super communicative and supplied me with plenty of cat pics to soothe my anxiety about leaving him. I would 100% recommend her services and book her again to watch my Milo! 🫶🏽💕:))”

“Zoe was an excellent pet sitter for my cat while I was out of town. I got plenty of updates on my cat's behavior and pictures too! Zoe agreed to meet up before the scheduled drop in visits to meet us and assure she felt prepared to care for my pet. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Kalyn was amazing! She stopped by to take care of my cat and he absolutely loved her She kept me updated and was really easy to communicate with. I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in good hands I’d definitely have her watch Mr. Jones again”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. My dog Marco and I had a great experience! We met Casey for a meet and greet prior to the dog walk. I was very impressed with Casey's professionalism. Casey helped answer all my questions about the service and tips for using the app. Love the Rover card. Even received a picture of my dog on the walk. Marco said he likes Casey and would definitely enjoy another walk or visit. Will plan on scheduling soon!”
“Brianna cared for my cat for over a month in her home, and she was absolutely wonderful - flexible, caring, and quick to respond to messages. She kept me updated on how my kitty was doing and took excellent care of him.”
About: As a kid, I always wanted a cat. My grandparents had farm cats who would occasionally sneak out and let me pet them, but it wasn’t until I was an adult that I got my own little girl. I’ve been a cat dad ever since, with three of my own. I have also cat-sit for several friends of mine, and take it as a personal challenge to get each and every one to love me.
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. Currently I have 2 boxers and a cat. They are my life, and I want to share my love with your animals too. I work full time. But have 3 days off a week so that's when I'll be available. Also after 5pm on the weekends. Whatever I am able to do to help another person out. I have a fenced yard with friendly dogs, as well as a doggie door. As far as the clients home, I'll follow the instructions that are given to me.
“August was amazing! My dogs loved him, even my old crabby dog. He was also very accommodating to the schedule we needed. I would trust August with my dogs anytime! So thankful to have found him!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 11. Friends, neighbors, and family have all trusted me to care, feed, walk, and bathe their dogs. I have experience with rescue dogs. I have helped out in a grooming shop. My family has bred bird dogs and I've helped with puppy training as well. I work full time but have the ability to go let them out or take them on a walk over my lunch break. I have evenings and weekends free also. Feel free to message me about my schedule if you have any questions! :) I will follow all safety recommendations of the owner, make sure the animal and property is properly cared for, and of course give lots of attention and love to the animals.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! I’ve lived on a farm and find pleasure in tending to animal needs! Pets are therapeutic and are make great buddies for outdoor activities! I’m currently working full-time and have availability in the late afternoon (after 3PM) to tend to your pets desires! I typically work mornings 7AM-3PM. I enjoy working with people and animals, and find them to truly make a difference in our outlooks in life! I unfortunately currently am unable to board animals or do day care at my home. Fortunately, I do spend a lot of time outdoors, and enjoy having a buddy along the ride! So if needed, I’d love to take your animal for a ride and to go sight/adventure seeking!

Perfect for high energy dogs - De Smet
“Brianna is AMAZING!!! My sweet little dog has special needs and is in a chair. She asked so many questions to make sure she could keep Frances active and provide the best care for her. I felt so comfortable with Frances in her care. Frances was happy when I picked her up and got excited every day that we pulled up to her house. THANK YOU for your amazing care!!!! Any time I am in town for work I will always work with Brianna :)”
“Cleo had a great time. She hit it off immediately with Nick's labrador Margie and was eager to go back the second day. Nicholas was very flexible and accommodating of my uncertain schedule and weird hours.”
“Needed a last minute daycare situation while on the road, Lauren’s place was perfect! My dog was able to play with a fun group of other dogs in a beautiful setting just outside of town. Thank you so much! Will def be back the next time we’re in the area!”
“Bryan was awesome. He was available last minute to watch our dog while we were visiting family in Montana. Bryan was very communicative and sent photos of Javi throughout the day. Would 10000% use Bryan and his dog Ron on our next visit to Missoula!”
“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!”
“Ben and Tuuli are the best! My pup was so stoked every time we pulled up to Ben’s house and I knew that he’d be having a great day with them. He was happy and tired after full days of play and walks. Ben is incredibly easy going and responsible. I never had a worry leaving Woody in Ben’s care and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an awesome pet sitter!”
“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: Hi! I’m Kayla I’ve been involved with animals my entire life! I have experience working in a doggy daycare with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have 10 years experience working with and caring for horses. I have owned dogs, cats, and small animals through out my entire life! I currently have a dog and a cat. Both of my pets were formerly strays, currently spoiled. I have experience with dog reactive pets too. I am a work from home accountant with an incredibly flexible schedule. I am also in graduate school at DU. I have a dog and cat, integrating another pet(s) into my schedule will not be a challenge. I currently live in a house with a large sectioned yard. I take my dog on at least 3 walks a day and we are a frequent at the dog park. My cat and dog get along great, but the cat tends to avoid new dogs. I am willing to accommodate any needs a clients dog may have.
About: Greetings! I've grown up with adopted dogs and have raised one from a puppy to adulthood. My entire home is open to pups (human beds and furniture), but will adhere to any rules you have in your home. My neighborhood has a lot of kids and other dogs around, as well as large common areas for running around. Can administer medication via treats or orally. Have experience working with dogs on- and off-leash, as well as in packs. Will be able to transport pups in a roomy vehicle all around town and beyond. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm open to hosting pups in my house or dropping in at the comfort of your pup's own home. Tell me all about your furry friend. Hoping I can meet you and your companion soon! I have a very sporadic work schedule, so I'm home frequently during the weekdays and weekends, and typically am only gone from the home for about 5 hours if I have to be somewhere. I'm able to accommodate frequent walk and bathroom break schedules, have experience taking multiple dogs in my car to hiking trails and other adventure areas. When I'm available to work, I'll frequently be with your pet throughout the day and overnight. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet neighborhood with open grassy areas and safe sidewalks. Will frequently run into kids of all ages in the area, and they're very responsive to dogs of all temperaments. If in your home I'd like to know anything and everything to keep your pet safe and comfortable, if you have cameras indoors or outdoors, as well as anything else about your pet's routine.
About: I am a full-time journalist who loves to get out on the weekends! I’m originally from Alaska and spend every opportunity I can getting outside with my 15-year-old border collie. I work from home and stay with the animals all day. We wake up early for potty breaks first thing in the morning. Dogs are allowed on the furniture for ultimate snuggles! I have a fenced yard with plenty of animal friends to keep your pet occupied and comfortable. The house is also large enough that if your animal needs space, we can cordon off an area for them to have peace and quiet.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. I have experience walking, potty, obedience & agility training dogs and cats, as well as grooming dogs and cats, medication administration, and lots of snuggles and play time with both. I also provide emotional care & support for your animals, in addition to food, water & exercise. I also care for birds. Weekday and weekend availability. I am also available holidays. The sooner you can book me ahead of time, the better. Message me and I will come over for a meet & greet! I only care for cats & dogs & birds in the client’s home, and follow instructions carefully. Food, litter and playtime is my first priority. Love to walk dogs. Additional services as needed.
About: I’ve been studying animal behavior for two years, and I’m passionate about loving and caring for pets as if they were my own. I have a service dog named Buddy, who is incredibly affectionate and enjoys making friends with animals. I’m committed to teaching well-being behaviors in my home to ensure the safety and comfort of my pets. Additionally, I volunteer at shelters to assist in finding and supporting suitable placements for enrichment activities. I hold certifications in pet first aid and dog training, which further enhance my expertise in caring for animals. I am available to schedule clients throughout the week and can work with flexible timing to fit appointments into my day. Since I work part-time, I have availability seven days a week, which allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules. To ensure smooth planning and avoid any last-minute changes, I kindly request a confirmation of all appointments by 2:00 PM the day prior. I will be alone at home so visits will be solo. I’m using enrichment tools and techniques to keep your pet happy and healthy. I have a fenced yard with everything your pet needs. There are plenty of spots for them to relax and play. I’ll be watching over your pets, and I use Kongs, treats, and toys to ensure their safety and well-being. I also do health checks and training to keep them in top shape.
About: I am a wildlife biologist who grew up with pets of all kinds and personally cared for puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am based at home and only take one client at a time (up to 2 dogs), which allows me to provide 24/7 personalized care in a safe, loving, and playful environment. Your pet will join my family (my husband (also a wildlife biologist), our 2 daughters, and our friendly dog Juniper). Your dog will enjoy access to our large fenced yard and comfortable indoor living areas. I am home full-time, so my guest pets have 24/7 access to me and are cared for around the clock! I'm able to offer daily walks and as many mealtimes, potty breaks, and attention as your pet needs. At night, pets sleep inside in whichever arrangement is preferred for them. I know it can be so hard to leave a beloved pet, but I truly like to give them their best life! I'm able to care for well-socialized pets and provide plenty of daily exercise, affection, and cozy resting spots where I am close by. I have a large, securely fenced yard with shady spots and plenty of running space. I have 2 crates available if needed (unless instructed to use a crate, I do not use them). Reactive dogs are not a good fit for my home.
“April took both of our girls on short notice while we were visiting Missoula, they had a great time and got along great with her smaller dogs! I would 100% use April again next time we’re in Missoula :)”
About: Ive had and taken care of my dogs and other people's dogs and cats since I was 10. I have 3 dogs myself and love walking and spending time with them. I've administered medication, vaccines and know basic first aid. Experience also working at a horse stable so im comfortable around all animals. Hope to meet you and your fur babies soon. Free during the day most days as I work nights on the weekends. I can also do farm or livestock care I look forward to discussing you and your pets needs. I work from home and keep boarded dogs in office with me when working and in secured area/crate if I need to be out of the house. My yard is fenced with 6ft kennel panels.

“Maisie was awesome with scout! Managing a lively 1 year old lab and returning her happy and exhausted was just what we needed for scout!! And what scout needed!! And maisie is a good communicator, on time, and kind!! The best kind of dog buddy!!”
About: Hi, my name is a Nevaeh and I am a nineteen year old who hasn't had one moment in my life where I wasn't surrounded by animals. From being five years old with my grandma's grouchy old cat, to my cousin's place with two dogs and four cats, to being nine and getting my own cat and dog. I am no stranger to big dogs wanting to play like puppies, little dogs with attitudes twice their size and cats being, well, cats. Every time I meet a new animal, I make it a point to introduce myself to them directly. Even sitting down on the ground to be on their level and let them come to me. I want to take care of them, why wouldn't I let them decide they like me? Currently, I work part time Friday through Monday (With Sundays open) and then have Tuesday through Thursdays open. This might change, it might not. I am looking for a full time job. But if I can fit a pet in, I will. As I said, I grew up with several dogs and cats. So I am aware every one is different and requires different care. And much like my banner alludes to, I am a pre-vet student. I'd love to take all the animal experience I can gain. If you have certain requirements for your pet, I can absolutely abide to them.
About: I’ve always grown up in a household with pets. From dogs and cats, to rodents and reptiles. For small animals or reptile requests, please message me to discuss pricing! I’ve created special bonds with each and every animal, and always love meeting new little friends while i’m out and about. I’ve dealt with special needs from pets such as medications for allergies, anxiety and fear, reactivity, and more. I also spent about a year working in a local pet store where I learned in depth about pet nutrition and supplements, as well as just the basic reasons as to why animals do what they do. I now work at a local animal shelter, so I am experienced working alongside a variety of temperaments, social ability, and sizes! I work full time, but am happy to take on any additional duties outside or around my working schedule. I currently work a set schedule, so I can reliably be available at the same times of day for your pets. I’m available before and after work most days, so if your animal is used to a typical 9-5 lifestyle, we will be a good match. While I’m traveling to your home to meet your fur babies, I’m happy to accommodate whatever you request! One of my pups at home has many special needs and requirements, so I am used to the more hands-on style of pet parenting. Both of my dogs are 50+ lbs, so I am used to large dogs, though I work alongside many small pets in my line of work as well. At my job I routinely work with veterinarians, so I am comfortable administering medications of many kinds. I also have two crested geckos at home that I care for! 🦎 My little lizards have taught me patience, as earning a gecko’s trust is not easy! I vow to be patient and kind working with whatever your pet’s needs may be.
About: I grew up with dogs and love to include them on all my outdoor adventures. My husband and I have three daughters (ages 6, 5, and 2) that love dogs and cats just as much as us so we will need to have a meet and greet, but know your pups will have extra love from our munchkins (they know that all animals have boundaries and respect them and we will always be vigilant while everyone is together). A stay at our house will include lots of snuggles, hikes, and lots of play time with our sweet labs, Summit and Trapper. Contact me if you might be interested in using my services! Have a great day! I work from home full time so apart from picking up my girls from school daycare (both are only about five to ten minutes away), I am home all the time to be with your pup. I have a fenced yard and two happy, loving labs that will keep your pup company while at our home. They also would love to share the couch and numerous dog beds throughout our home!
“August always wonderful care of Rex! He also listens to anything that I may need to make sure is taken care of especially during these hot days! He also sends me the cutest pics of my little booger! Would definitely recommend!”
“Brianna was friendly and helped me out in a pinch! She was responsive, caring and communicated excellently. The girls fell in love and warmed up to her. I would recommend and will reach out again if/when I need. Thank you!”
About: College student wanting to care for your pets! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 9 years old and love them all. I’ll cater to your needs. I am a college student and have some availability to dog walk or visit between classes during the week. I can work with you on time and duration as it fits into my schedule! For house pet-sitting I’m flexible to when I am free so reach out and ask about my availability! I respect the home I care for the dogs in and respect the rules set for their pets. I’m attentive to the dogs needs during my stay and make them top priority.
About: I grew up with a love of all animals and have been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I know have a cat and a rat of my own and study wildlife biology at the University of Montana. I also have experience working with many types of animals I have worked at zoos and animal care facilities providing daily diet, care, and enrichment for a number of animals. I am a student at the University of Montana so my schedule is fairly open and I will be willing to change plans and make time to fit jobs into my daily routine. I have an indoor cat and rat at my home. My rat has her own cage and space but gets along great with my cat when I bring her out for a visit.
“This was my first time using Rover.com. My dog Marco and I had a great experience! We met Casey for a meet and greet prior to the dog walk. I was very impressed with Casey's professionalism. Casey helped answer all my questions about the service and tips for using the app. Love the Rover card. Even received a picture of my dog on the walk. Marco said he likes Casey and would definitely enjoy another walk or visit. Will plan on scheduling soon!”
About: I have trained one dog since she was 6 weeks old and is now 7. I also have a rescued abused dog that I trained that is 2.5 now. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I work full-time but can frequently stop by to take care of your pet. I love walks as well and playing fetch (or whatever your pet prefers). I would stop by at least 3 times a day and walk at least twice. For now, I will not house pets more than 2 pets in my home due to limited space. When you book me, I would love detailed information on what you expect from me!
