“Megan and Matt were so easy to work with and treated our pup so astoundingly well! We are so grateful for their phenomenal care for our dog and we hope we get the chance to work with them again whenever we need help with pet sitting!”
“I’m am so happy to have found Andrea on Rover. Dazee loves going to stay with her! Andrea does a fabulous job getting the dogs out on fun outside adventures!”
“We feel completely at ease leaving our dog with Kenny and his family. We know she’ll be in great hands. We love the photo updates and the stories of how much Kenny’s kids love our dog.”
“Emma was great with Sherman! She communicated very clearly, sent long, detailed updates on how he was doing, and was very flexible with drop off and pick up which was really nice! She met up before to make sure her pup and mine got along and made sure to give my dog a lot of attention and time that he needed to feel comfortable! Would absolutely have Emma watch my pup again, definitely recommend!”
“Jennifer made for a great and convenient dog sitter! Especially since we were from out of town! June left very happy! Would definitely book again if we find ourselves in the area!”
“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!”
“Kerry and her family were absolutely amazing!! I cannot recommend them enough. They took care of my dog in their home for ten days and Kerry was super communicative the whole time. She took Sheeva on hikes everyday and her family essentially adopted her for the stay. I got pictures of my dog on adventures, playing dress up with the kids, napping on the couch… it was honestly one of the best Rover experiences I’ve had!”
“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!”
“Barbara is amazing! Total peace of mind if your pup is in her care. She took great care of our high energy border collie Willow for a week. Willow unfortunately had a paw injury a few days prior to our trip, I was so anxious about leaving my baby when she's hurting. BUT Barb went above and beyond to provide excellent care, give medication, and was even able to remove Willow's bandage per vet orders when needed. She kept in great communication with me the entire time and provided daily pictures and updates. I absolutely recommend Barb for all your dog sitting needs. She truly treats them like family.”
“Gabrielle took such good care of our dog and new puppy! She went on walks down by the river, played with the dogs, and sent us pictures throughout the day so we could see how they were doing. We definitely trust Gabrielle and highly recommend her. She is just wonderful. Thank you for everything you did to make our dogs happy. Our oldest dog, Tucker, didn't want to leave Gabrielle's house when we came to pick up the dogs after our trip. A true testament to how well they were treated. Thank you!”
“Tlhis was my first time leaving my Aussie Steel with a dog sitter. He's with me almost 24/7 because of my job. I'm sure I had a much harder time than he did! Ben told me about some of his regulars that he watches, and that they would be coming when Steel wad there. From the videos that Ben sent to me and the updates, I could see Steel was in good company and doing great!! He got lots of outside time, ate well and was completely worn out from a hike when I picked him up! :) I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ben”
“Teresa was absolutely great with Glacier. Glacier stayed with her for a week and he came home one happy and tired pup. Which says a lot because it takes a lot to make a husky tired. She was also very flexible with me, as I had to change dates around on her a bit. Glacier has to receive zinc pills and Teresa was great about giving him his pills as he came home completely healthy. She also kept me updated on the long hikes they took together. I definitely will be asking her to watch over Glacier in the future.”
“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!”
“Leah was fantastic with my dog. They were attentive, reliable, and followed all care instructions perfectly. She took my dog out on lots of hikes to stay active. Communication was excellent throughout with lots of photo updates. She even got my dog a small stuffed animal as a holiday present. Would book again.”
“Vanessa is incredible. She was very warm and personal when corresponding with her. She always responded very promptly. I left my little dog Millie with her while I took a girl's trip through glacier park. She updated me with lots of videos and photos. She was very accommodating when it came to my schedule. I think Jedi and Mllie became best buddies, they had lots of fun and worn each other out. I would definitely use Vanessa as a pet sitter in the future. I highly recommend her. She is very caring, responsible and definitely an animal lover.”
“Danielle took great care of Sunny, was flexible with our schedule, and kept us updated! She made us feel very confident leaving Sunny with her and her sweet pup Leroy and I’d highly recommend her :)”
About: * 2 night min boarding * In my family, we always had a dog around. Then, as an adult, I got my very own .. a Yorkie! The only thing keeping me from getting another dog was how hard it was to say goodbye to my lil guy after 14 years. Instead, I get regular doses of love and connection from my guests' dogs (I run a glamping cabins resort called "The Hohnstead" -- plenty of reviews showing my genuine character and love for dogs there), and now, Rover. * 2 night/day minimum * My glamping cabin resort called The Hohnstead season is winding down so I have plenty of time to hike and play with your doggo. As an active and fit person, a day without 10k steps isn't a proper day at all so I'd love to take your dog along for the walk. It's just my wife and I at our home. No kids, no other dogs. I have a fenced area that includes our garden. That said, we also have 100 acres and only my parents as neighbors thus the daily walking/hiking.
“Carol was great! My dog was very happy after her stay! Carol was a great communicator and I knew she took amazing care of my dog when I was away. I highly recommend Carol and will be using her in the future!”
About: We loving hiking, running and going on walks And we would love to take care of your dog! We have a dog and we take very good care of her, we have had her for a long time and we would love to dog sit for others! Both of us are working part time with schedules that don’t conflict so someone is always able to be home, we are up at 5:45 every morning to let our dog out and consistently walking her. We hang out with our dog, cuddle with her and give her tons of belly rubs and snuggles on the couch, or in her crate, we let her one our patio to soak up the sun and take her into our massive grass dog area to play with other dogs and go potty.
“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”

About: I have cared for many types of dogs, big to small, young to old. One of my more recent clients had a big Labradoodle, who was a rescue and very skittish. I got along with Zooey right away, and we had some fun walks and runs. I love playing catch and tug-war with dogs as well. I myself am very energetic so I know how good it feels to get out in the fresh air and stretch your legs. I love dogs and cats, they are so full of love and I can't help but love them back. Since I have cared for many pets I know how to read them and give them space, pets and food when they need it. I have a cat of my own and know all the silly ways cats communicate.
“Grace did an amazing job watching Cash and sending me videos and pictures each day. Cash is normally shy yet he opened right up to Grace and let her pet and play with him on the very first day. She kept to his specific food habits, and kept his litter area clean even with how much he likes to kick it out. I will be booking with Grace again for future vacations, she has earned my trust.”
“I will absolutely be reaching out to Luisa next time I need a pet sitter. They took time to meet in person beforehand, asked thoughtful questions on care, and took great care of my cat while I was away. I highly recommend Luisa as a pet sitter, you can be confident your pet is good hands.”
“Holly took such great care of our kitty! She provided excellent updates and made sure he stayed on his medication schedule 10/10 recommend her wonderful services!”
About: I have a cat of my own that I love on and care for daily and have had for 3 years now. I’m ready to treat your cat with the same love that I give my own. I have experience watching cats that have more needs, such as daily medications as well as cats that just need the basics (food, litter box, play time, and cuddles).
“Nickolas took excellent care of my cat and provided excellent communication. He took care of Gir like his own and enjoyed the silly photos Id get. Thank you so much!!”
“Cam did a great job taking care of my cat and watching my house while I was gone for about a week. He left the house clean and everything was in good shape when I came home. His daily text updates with photos of my cat was really appreciated and made me rest easy so I could better enjoy my vacation. I strongly recommend Cam and plan to rebook with him next time.”
About: Along with pet sitting for countless family, friends and neighbors over the last three years, I’ve organized large dog park events! 🐾 Jedi (my 4 y.o. Frenchie and I) and I look forward to working with you 🐶 I’m currently working from home and typically spend weekends and evenings at home as well unless going out for a special occasion. Weekdays are almost always available while weekends are available often. We do not have a fenced yard. Our house is typically very tidy and so there are never any small objects or clothing items on the floor. We do not feed dogs anything except what the client/owner provides and are careful to follow any special instructions for care.
About: Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of the pets in my family. Bunnies, dogs, cats, fish, gerbils and mice. I’ve given baths, taken dogs on runs, cuddled with kittens, played with bunnies. I’ve had to give medication to animals before. I’m quite active (trail runner) and really open to anything. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I work remote from home as a video editor and I get to decide my own schedule and hours everyday. That means I get to prioritize your pet or home first! I’ve grown up with animals all my life - so I suppose at this point it is just second nature to be around them. I make sure not to leave often, especially in the first 48 hours, so that I can help keep your pets relax as you leave. I try to spend a lot of intentional time with them up front so they get to know me and trust me. I once had to walk a dog 5 times between 10pm and 2am because it was nervous, but by the next day we were best friends. It just takes time and patience.
About: I have taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have done much Cat sitting. I have also taken care of Birds and Reptiles I am conscientious, reliable, communicative and trustworthy. Your pet will be safe with me. When in my care they are top priority. Caring for your pet/s is my full time duty. Your pet is the utmost importance of safety, love ,comfort and I will follow your instructions precisely, in order to keep your pet happy and content.
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, our family had six outdoor cats and two indoor cats, each with their own unique personalities. Living with so many cats taught me how to recognize their different needs, respect their boundaries, and earn their trust. One of our cats had Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which gave me experience caring for a cat with special health considerations and reinforced the importance of paying close attention to an animal's well-being and daily routine. I also have experience caring for cats in their own homes. Last summer, I looked after a family friend's cat while they spent two months in Greece, making sure their cat stayed happy, healthy, and on a consistent routine. I also house-sat for a colleague for two weeks while they were traveling across the country. Staying in their home allowed their cat to remain in a familiar environment and gave the owners peace of mind knowing both their pet and home were being well cared for. I'm efficient and thorough when it comes to cleaning litter boxes, keeping them fresh and tidy so cats have a clean, comfortable space every day. One of the things I love most about cats is how intelligent, curious, and independent they are. Every cat has a unique personality, and I enjoy taking the time to build trust, engage them through play, or simply provide quiet companionship on their terms. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or shy and reserved, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: Born and raised among the pack lol I’ve had critters ever since I can remember. We’ve always had dogs-multiple at a time-as well as cats and horses. I’ve given shots, administered meds, clipped claws, cleaned litter boxes, dog kennels, stalls and everything in between. I absolutely adore critters, so you can put your mind to rest knowing your fur babies will be treated as if they were my own. I own my own business so my hours are very flexible and I can move them accordingly! I can be around your critters 100% of the time, giving around the clock love, scratches, and adventure. I have a fenced kennel with access to go inside the garage and get out of the elements, as well as a adventurous spirit to go run or walk on the trails, throw a ball, or just give lots of cuddles and love. Really it’s all dependent on what each individual fur baby needs.
“Melanie was great! She looked in on my two cats while I was away, and gave them care & attention- gave me peace of mind they were well taken care of with her photos & note! I’ll definitely book her again, and have already recommended her to a friend!”
About: I’ve cared for so many different cats and they all have their own quirks. My philosophy is to let them come to me, build trust slowly before invading their space too much, and use food/pets to affirm trust! Often, I also “cat proof” rooms and ensure I have easy access to any corners they might go to hide.
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!

“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 :)”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Could not have a nicer kind hearted person as Danielle to watch our pup! She sent lots of updates and pictures! So happy we got a chance to meet her!”
“Vanessa was so amazing!!! Just off the bat with the fact we did a meet and greet with her fur baby and Dunkin was just so amazing. It made me feel very comfortable knowing who is gonna be taking care of my pup and how he acts with other dogs ( which he’s always so friendly). The meet and greet went amazing, then came the day of which went very well she documented everything and updated me with anything going on! Loved the service, will be booking more in the future!! 🧡🐾 ps. Jedi is the cutest Frenchie ever -Dunkin lol”
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.
“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: I'm a wildlife biologist who grew up with pets of all kinds and personally cared for puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I work from 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) and will enjoy access to our large fenced yard and comfortable indoor living areas. My guest dogs have 24/7 access to me. I work from home on part-time contracts and care for our family dog while kids are at school. 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. I truly like to give them their very 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 never far. 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.
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.
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: 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 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.
“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!”

“Our boy Cashew is still in the thicket of big-dog adolescence, and at 70lbs it can feel like steadying a runaway train, but Reid has been beyond wonderful with Cashew since the start! Reid is compassionate with our boy without letting him get away with unsafe behaviors, and now that I’m working 12hr days, I can trust that my boy will be exercised, exhausted, and excited to sleep until I’m back home. Choosing someone to bring into your home, while you’re not there, to temporarily *take your dog* is an undeniably stressful decision. Reid has made that process effortless, putting my entire family at ease, and I cannot recommend his services enough!”
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. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping a calm, clean environment. I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve always loved pets and animals and after moving to Missoula am missing the two dogs I had with my younger sister so I’m looking for pets to connect with and care for while I don’t have any of my own. I work for Competitive Timing, a company that runs electronic timing for races and other running events. Because of that, I’m often gone traveling on weekends but during the weekdays I’m free to do whatever it is your pets would need and keep up their normal routine. I try to make the transition as seamless as possible caring for your pets in your home, on their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.
About: I have taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have done much Cat sitting.

About: I've taken care of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens since I was a kid. My mother worked at an animal shelter so we always had fosters around to care for and socialize. I've also had dogs and cats as family pets for as long as I can remember. I work long shifts as a package delivery driver Sunday-Wednesday so I am only available for walks/pet sitting Thursday-Saturday evening. I love animals though and am super excited to make some new pals! Unfortunately I can't have clients pets stay at my place but while I'm at their owners house/out for a walk the animal will remain leashed and have my full attention.
About: I am a reliable dog and cat sitter, and have several friends and coworkers who can attest to this. Pet sitting brings me so much joy! Unfortunately I’m not in a place to have pets of my own, so I thought this would be a great way to spend time with animals and make some extra cash! My schedule is currently fairly flexible, as I am hybrid remote and on summer hours! I can do pretty much any day/time of the week, though this may change seasonally. I make sure to spread my time and love evenly between pets, respecting their space but giving them lots of scratches and playing with them when they want or need. I am always down to go for walks, play fetch, or just hang around the house together!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets for years and genuinely love animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like family while providing safe, loving care. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute bookings and am happy to work around your pet care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a safe, loving environment, closely follow care instructions, and make sure pets are supervised, exercised, and well cared for at all times. I’ll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Courtney, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a mom who was always bringing home abandoned and rescued animals, so our house was never short on furry (or feathered!) family members. I was also raised on a farm where we cared for two horses, a donkey named Abigail, goats, chickens, rabbits, six outdoor cats, two indoor cats, and two dogs. Growing up in that environment taught me the responsibility, patience, and dedication that quality animal care requires. It also showed me just how rewarding the bond between people and animals can be. Today, I have a 13-year-old Golden Retriever named Mia, who is truly my whole world. Caring for her through every stage of her life has deepened my understanding of what pets mean to their families. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your beloved companion, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I recently graduated with my master's degree from the University of Montana and currently have a very flexible schedule while I search for my next career opportunity. That means I can provide dependable, attentive care and work around your pet's routine, whether they need walks, playtime, companionship, or lots of affection. I believe animals are some of our greatest supporters, and there's nothing more special than the unconditional love they share with us. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their owners complete peace of mind. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I recently graduated with my master's degree from the University of Montana and am currently searching for the next step in my career. Because of that, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys mountain hikes, neighborhood walks, trips to the dog park, or long games of fetch, I'm happy to tailor our time together to match their energy level and personality. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm just as happy spending quality time providing companionship, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. Since I have open availability, your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to follow your instructions carefully so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I live at the Corso Apartments in central Missoula, which features a large, well-maintained dog park right on the property. We're also located directly next to the Milwaukee Trail, making it easy to provide safe, enjoyable neighborhood walks or longer adventures for dogs who love to explore. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my apartment or yours, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring hands.

I’ve given shots, administered meds, clipped claws, cleaned litter boxes, dog kennels, stalls and everything in between. I absolutely adore critters, so you can put your mind to rest knowing your fur babies will be treated as if they were my own. I own my own business so my hours are very flexible and I can move them accordingly! I can be around your critters 100% of the time, giving around the clock love, scratches, and adventure. I have a fenced kennel with access to go inside the garage and get out of the elements, as well as a adventurous spirit to go run or walk on the trails, throw a ball, or just give lots of cuddles and love. Really it’s all dependent on what each individual fur baby needs.
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!

“Megan and Matt were so easy to work with and treated our pup so astoundingly well! We are so grateful for their phenomenal care for our dog and we hope we get the chance to work with them again whenever we need help with pet sitting!”
“I’m am so happy to have found Andrea on Rover. Dazee loves going to stay with her! Andrea does a fabulous job getting the dogs out on fun outside adventures!”
“We feel completely at ease leaving our dog with Kenny and his family. We know she’ll be in great hands. We love the photo updates and the stories of how much Kenny’s kids love our dog.”
“Emma was great with Sherman! She communicated very clearly, sent long, detailed updates on how he was doing, and was very flexible with drop off and pick up which was really nice! She met up before to make sure her pup and mine got along and made sure to give my dog a lot of attention and time that he needed to feel comfortable! Would absolutely have Emma watch my pup again, definitely recommend!”
“Jennifer made for a great and convenient dog sitter! Especially since we were from out of town! June left very happy! Would definitely book again if we find ourselves in the area!”
“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!”
“Kerry and her family were absolutely amazing!! I cannot recommend them enough. They took care of my dog in their home for ten days and Kerry was super communicative the whole time. She took Sheeva on hikes everyday and her family essentially adopted her for the stay. I got pictures of my dog on adventures, playing dress up with the kids, napping on the couch… it was honestly one of the best Rover experiences I’ve had!”
“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!”
“Barbara is amazing! Total peace of mind if your pup is in her care. She took great care of our high energy border collie Willow for a week. Willow unfortunately had a paw injury a few days prior to our trip, I was so anxious about leaving my baby when she's hurting. BUT Barb went above and beyond to provide excellent care, give medication, and was even able to remove Willow's bandage per vet orders when needed. She kept in great communication with me the entire time and provided daily pictures and updates. I absolutely recommend Barb for all your dog sitting needs. She truly treats them like family.”
“Gabrielle took such good care of our dog and new puppy! She went on walks down by the river, played with the dogs, and sent us pictures throughout the day so we could see how they were doing. We definitely trust Gabrielle and highly recommend her. She is just wonderful. Thank you for everything you did to make our dogs happy. Our oldest dog, Tucker, didn't want to leave Gabrielle's house when we came to pick up the dogs after our trip. A true testament to how well they were treated. Thank you!”
“Tlhis was my first time leaving my Aussie Steel with a dog sitter. He's with me almost 24/7 because of my job. I'm sure I had a much harder time than he did! Ben told me about some of his regulars that he watches, and that they would be coming when Steel wad there. From the videos that Ben sent to me and the updates, I could see Steel was in good company and doing great!! He got lots of outside time, ate well and was completely worn out from a hike when I picked him up! :) I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ben”
“Teresa was absolutely great with Glacier. Glacier stayed with her for a week and he came home one happy and tired pup. Which says a lot because it takes a lot to make a husky tired. She was also very flexible with me, as I had to change dates around on her a bit. Glacier has to receive zinc pills and Teresa was great about giving him his pills as he came home completely healthy. She also kept me updated on the long hikes they took together. I definitely will be asking her to watch over Glacier in the future.”
“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!”
“Leah was fantastic with my dog. They were attentive, reliable, and followed all care instructions perfectly. She took my dog out on lots of hikes to stay active. Communication was excellent throughout with lots of photo updates. She even got my dog a small stuffed animal as a holiday present. Would book again.”
About: * 2 night min boarding * In my family, we always had a dog around. Then, as an adult, I got my very own .. a Yorkie! The only thing keeping me from getting another dog was how hard it was to say goodbye to my lil guy after 14 years. Instead, I get regular doses of love and connection from my guests' dogs (I run a glamping cabins resort called "The Hohnstead" -- plenty of reviews showing my genuine character and love for dogs there), and now, Rover. * 2 night/day minimum * My glamping cabin resort called The Hohnstead season is winding down so I have plenty of time to hike and play with your doggo. As an active and fit person, a day without 10k steps isn't a proper day at all so I'd love to take your dog along for the walk. It's just my wife and I at our home. No kids, no other dogs. I have a fenced area that includes our garden. That said, we also have 100 acres and only my parents as neighbors thus the daily walking/hiking.
“Carol was great! My dog was very happy after her stay! Carol was a great communicator and I knew she took amazing care of my dog when I was away. I highly recommend Carol and will be using her in the future!”
About: We loving hiking, running and going on walks And we would love to take care of your dog! We have a dog and we take very good care of her, we have had her for a long time and we would love to dog sit for others! Both of us are working part time with schedules that don’t conflict so someone is always able to be home, we are up at 5:45 every morning to let our dog out and consistently walking her. We hang out with our dog, cuddle with her and give her tons of belly rubs and snuggles on the couch, or in her crate, we let her one our patio to soak up the sun and take her into our massive grass dog area to play with other dogs and go potty.
“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”
About: I have been caring for animals since pet sitting for my aunt and uncle’s 3 rowdy dogs as a teen, sometimes up to a month when they went on long trips. I also have cared for dogs of my own for most of my adult life and consider them to be members of the family. My current dog Ron has some special care needs which has taught me to be patient and sensitive to pups who need a little extra care and attention. I would love to welcome your furry buddy into our home and would treat them like another member of the family. I currently work from home so am able to give your pup lots of attention and exercise. I also am a very active person and love to frequent the local trails if that is something you would like for your pup. I have a fenced front and back yard and a dog door that can be locked if need be. I have multiple dog beds and also allow dogs on the furniture (I of course will not allow it if it’s a behavior you don’t want your dog to learn). Like I said, I consider them to be part of the family.
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.
