“I could tell quickly that Joslyn was very experienced while speaking with her on the phone about our dog Nova. She was very professional and the booking process was very easy. While she watched our dog for us we received plenty of updates that included photos and video that we appreciated while we were away. Our dog was very well taken care of and we will absolutely use Joslyn again in the future!”
“Leslie and her husband were very kind. She was very flexible when we booked her last minute to watch our dog. She sent updates while we were gone and our girl was happy and healthy when we picked her up.”
“Janet made us feel comfortable from our first meeting. We appreciated updates on how Poppy was doing while we were away. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Janet again!”
“Kelley took excellent care of our two year old German shepherd mix. She provided great pics and videos of Josie on the daily hikes which made us feel at ease being so far away,”
“Natalie was wonderful. She took special care of our Pooh Bear while we were gone. She was able to deal with his seizures and treated him with love. I can't thank her enough for her wonderful care.”
“Kylee was great to schedule with, and great with Bella. She sent lots of correspondence. I would definitely recommend and if we're in Billings needing a sitter I would want Kylee again.”
“My yellow lab, Sophie had a wonderful play date at Shalane’s with her two yellow lab fur babies today! Her kindness and love of dogs was truly evident. I higjly recommend her and look forward to boarding with her in the near future.”
“Emmeli was so sweet and took wonderful care of Sissy! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible with our situation, especially since we don’t live in Billings and needed someone somewhat last minute. She has a beautiful home, and I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving my dog with her. She sent us photo updates and checked in to let us know how Sissy was doing. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog!”
“Our Coco Chanel LOVED being with Olivia. She had playmates with Mogli and other pets that Olivia was sitting. This was our first time leaving her for an extended period and were worried that she would be anxious but she totally relaxed by day 2, which also allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We never felt that our fur baby was left with someone that loved and cared for her as much as we do. Will ABSOLUTELY use Olivia's services again! 💞”
About: I've taken care of family and friends dogs for years ranging from just checking in on them during the day to staying with them or taking them back home to stay with me. I currently work at the airport and have 3 hour gaps between flights to take car of animals between. I am week on week off so my availability is wide open when I am not at the airport. I have one dog that's super friendly, with a dog park in my apartment complexe as well as a dog park half a block away to take the dogs to go play.
“Jennifer was great with Scout. She took her on short notice and scheduled a meet and greet that day. During Scouts boarding Jennifer took the time to keep me updated by texting me and sending pics and short videos. She made sure Scout got exercise and also took Scout to the dog park after checking with me for my approval. Jennifer was professional, kind and took in Scout like she was he own. I would highly recommend Jennifer if you are looking for a boarder for you dog. I'll continue to use Jennifer in the future..”

About: As a pet owner and a huge pet lover, I have learned firsthand how important it is to have someone that you can trust with your furry family members while you are away. If you need someone to check on your pets on short notice, take care of them and give them companionship while you are away, or just exercise them during your long days at the office, I would love to help. I work from home so I have a very open and flexible shedule, this allows me to adapt my schedule to accomodate whatever you pet care needs may be. Attention to your pets safety is of utmost importance to me. I would love to meet with you and go over any special needs that your pet may require.
“Leslie and her family greeted us at our car eager to see my two WESTIES!! We are selling our home and needed a respectable place to bring these two rascals for a couple of hours . The hours went quickly and when our open house was over we notified her of our return. Everyone seemed happy!! The pups were happy and content. They truly enjoyed their stay!! I feel they received great attentive care and that was so reassuring!! I highly recommend Leslie for her Rover services and the love she gave my two babies!! Mary Jo B”

“Kelley took my 6 month old puppy with high energy for an entire day of Doggie Day Care and thankfully was able to tire her out.😅 She has been very responsive and helpful with my questions and needs with the Rover App as a first time customer and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Thank you Kelley!”
About: ** I am a good fit for your pet if your dog is -a higher energy dog -good with children -and is kennel trained I grew up on a small farm caring for animals since I was a small child. However, it wasn't until we adopted Opie as a puppy in 2024 that I became passionate about dogs. Due to me spending the most time with training and playing with Opie out of all the members in our little family, his big personality made his way into my heart. He is my buddy and I love taking him for walks, bike rides, park dates, and off leash adventures. I’ve come to love and appreciate tending to Opie and others dogs belonging to family and friends. Tending and caring for them has brought me a lot of satisfaction and happiness. Dogs really are mans best friend, and I am proud to call myself a "dog mom". I am a stay at home mom (SAHM) raising two little boys. We are home a lot of the time, and part of the routine is expelling energy from our dog. Pet care is just part of our day to day routine, all hours of the day. I have a fenced back yard and a mini Aussie to keep your dog company. Each evening, or when running errands, dogs are put in their crates to rest and recover. Dogs are not allowed on carpeted surfaces or furniture in our home. But they are allowed on the main level of our house. We offer a lot of love and time to each dog who stays here.
“Sara is great. I was able to meet her before leaving my pup for the day. She took Laela for a walk and used her dog to train her since she is still a puppy! She sent pictures and had great communication and Laela was so tired after! I work long shifts at the hospital and am thankful to have someone to wear her out, socialize, and look after her!”

We never felt that our fur baby was left with someone that loved and cared for her as much as we do. Will ABSOLUTELY use Olivia's services again! 💞”
About: I've taken care of family and friends dogs for years ranging from just checking in on them during the day to staying with them or taking them back home to stay with me. I currently work at the airport and have 3 hour gaps between flights to take car of animals between. I am week on week off so my availability is wide open when I am not at the airport. I have one dog that's super friendly, with a dog park in my apartment complexe as well as a dog park half a block away to take the dogs to go play.
“Jennifer was great with Scout. She took her on short notice and scheduled a meet and greet that day. During Scouts boarding Jennifer took the time to keep me updated by texting me and sending pics and short videos. She made sure Scout got exercise and also took Scout to the dog park after checking with me for my approval. Jennifer was professional, kind and took in Scout like she was he own. I would highly recommend Jennifer if you are looking for a boarder for you dog. I'll continue to use Jennifer in the future..”

“Mikayla and family were wonderful. They sent pictures, gave our dogs lots of attention, and were great communicators. They were accommodating to our changing drop off and pick up times. They were great with our high energy dog.”
“Buddy’s first boarding with Sara. I appreciate that Sara wanted to meet Buddy prior to his boarding time. She is easy to communicate with. I feel confident Buddy had a great time over the weekend.”

About: I have lifelong experience caring for pets and have owned animals of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds. I’m an active foster who has helped place six dogs into permanent homes, and I regularly volunteer at local shelters. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical and special needs, including torn ACLs, allergies, skin conditions, and visual impairments in both young and senior dogs. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00–3:00 PM and am available for walks and check-ins before and after work. I’m happy to discuss additional needs and do my best to accommodate. It is a possibly to do mid-day walks if I have the means to coordinate around my work. My dog is my world (and she may or may not run the house!). She’s allowed on the furniture and enjoys a 30-minute walk every day, rain or shine. The care I provide for your pet will be based entirely on your preferences—whether that means treating them like my own or strictly following your established routines. I’m flexible and happy to provide most services.
