“We had another great experience with Jenna! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our fur babies. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We would definitely book with Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Val was a wonderful match for our puppy! She made sure he was well taken care of while we were away. He got lots of play time, snuggles and walks! Also, I received updates with photos and useful feedback! Moose would love to have her back!”
“Air offered to do a meet-and-greet before the booking date, was on time, was very respectful of my home, and was super sweet to my Zoey. Zoey has separation anxiety, and she was fast asleep and totally relaxed in Ari’s lap when I got home. I highly recommend Ari and will be booking her again!”
“Cate was AMAZING! We left town and booked her very last minute and she was happy to come and meet the dogs before we left. Cate took great care for our two dogs. If you are looking for a dog sitter, Cate is awesome!”
“Emma was very helpful when she house sat and helped with my pup. She was communicative, sent pictures, and the house was clean when I returned. I'd recommend Emma to others.”
About: I work at a doggie daycare and boarding place. I have experience with reactive dogs, I know how to administer medications like: eye drops, pills, supplements, sprays, (not injections but I can learn). I have experience with meals that have multiple components. I have no problem with multiple dogs. I tend to feed and take out ten to fifteen dogs in the morning at work. I work four days a week at a doggie daycare and boarding place. Thursday to Sunday. 6am to 3pm. But I’m typically up at 4:30am. I have an hour break from 11am-12pm. I would be gone about five hours in the mornings but after work i have nothing. On Tuesday I have a standing class from 9-11am and an appointment from 2-3pm. I really like to build trust and understanding with my animals. They each have their own unique personalities and you have to adapt to them. It would be the same with my clients. I have taken care of horses before and you can probably imagine how unpredictable they can be sometimes. Working at my job, I have to have a real eye for stressors. They play and groups and any misbehavior can lead to a fight so I have to be on top of it.
“Roslyn was such a wonderful sitter for us! She has excellent communication and took great care of all our animals as well as our home. We were thankful to have everyone in such good care while we were gone. I'd recommend her to anyone!”
“Jeremy and Megan were wonderful to work with. This was our first time using someone other than friends and family and I don’t think we could have found better. They are kind and communicative. Our dog, Porkchop took to them right away, and we feel our boy got all the love he longs for while we were away. We will definitely use Jeremy and Megan again! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and have watched tons of pets, I will take care of them and love them just as I would my own I do work 4 days a week 2pm-10pm. I can use my breaks in between to keep an eye on them as well if needed I have a fenced in yard and 3 wonderful and friendly dogs. And any specified rules you have for any of your pets will be followed and will be treated with love
“Brenna took great care of my dog and my home while dog sitting. She sent pictures and did a nightly check-in letting me know how the day went with my dog. She was extremely responsible and respectful. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’m a calm, patient sitter who truly loves animals. I have experience with puppy training basics and providing attentive senior care, including medications and mobility support, and I always tailor care to each pet. I am currently a junior at Montana State University, and my class schedule varies depending on the day. I also work at Texas Roadhouse, where my hours can vary as well. However, I am more than happy to be flexible and work around schedules as needed! One of my roommates, who is on the MSU Women’s Basketball team often leaves for away games has me look after her pet. I refill the water and automatic food feeder as well as let him hang out in my room so he isn’t alone.
“Rylee took great care of our pups on a last minute trip. She was flexible with our timing and was great at communicating with us. We look forward to her watching our pups again.”
“Olivia was a delight to have in our home with Frank. He was well cared for and we could tell he had a good time while we were on our trip. I would recommend Olivia and will have her back again.”
“Lilli kept our dog for a week at our house. She did an amazing job. Gave our doggo lots of exercise and companionship. We came back to a happy dog and a clean house. I have no hesitations in recommending her!”
“Abby was great! She was super easy to communicate with and sent me multiple pictures of our dog while she was watching him. She obviously loves animals too. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I grew up with a dog as a teenager and was a reliable dog sitter for many neighbors and friends. I am willing to give your pets all the care and attention they need. I only work a job 3 nights a week for a few hours so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup. As long as you communicate with me how your dog needs to be cared for I will accommodate to make sure they are safe. I try and take dogs for lots of walks and potty breaks and give them lots of attention and play with them.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since i was very little. Friends and Family have needed me to walk, feed and love their pets. I am experienced with every sized dog and cat. I am currently studying at Montana State University for Equine Science, so I have lots of experience! I’m currently a full time college student at MSU which means I am taking a lot of classes, but feel free to reach out I work my availability around constantly! I am currently living in dorms so I unfortunately cannot accept pets at my home, but I love to dog sit at my clients houses! I can stay at your house overnight or commute and take care of them, either works with me.
“Sagal treated Lexi like her own which was all that mattered in our book. Lexi ate well while we were gone, and full of energy when we returned so I know she was happy while we were out of town. Sagal left our house in a clean orderly manner. I’d definitely use her again if she were not moving away for college.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Gallatin walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Gallatin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Gallatin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
