About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals around me. I subcontracted for a Rover pet sitter for 6 months as well as pet sitting for family and friends for the past several years. I am currently working Sunday through Friday and occasional Saturdays. I start at 10:30 and my hours range from 2 to 6 hours a day While in the clients home caring for their pets, I do what is needed to make sure their pet is as comfortable as possible, and try to stick to their daily routine as closely as possible.
About: As a veterinary nurse for 3+ years, I have learned a great deal about animal wellbeing and behavior. Each pet is a snowflake, and they all have special quirks about them. My animal care journey first started as a teen working at a dog kennel. This gave me a lot of exposure to different breeds, their eating habits, and some quick, natural fixes to help with digestive issues. I began working in a veterinary hospital in town for a year until I moved to Oregon, where I worked at a mixed animal clinic for 2 years. I recently moved back to Bozeman but still fill my days with veterinary medicine. I’m honored to support pets through some of the hardest days of their life in the most compassionate ways that I can. I am very comfortable taking on dogs and cats with different physical, medical, and social needs. I’m also able to watch pocket pets, goats, sheep, and pigs. As someone who regularly works around pets that are experiencing something outside of their routine, I am deeply passionate about making them as comfortable, and happy as possible! I would love to meet you and your furry (or bald!) companion so you can enjoy that overdue R&R or a quick weekend away! I work full time M-F with Wednesdays off. I am available any reasonable time outside those hours for walks, drop ins, potty breaks, feeding time, etc.! Since I am only accepting drop ins and walks right now, my time spent in your home is pretty limited unless you request otherwise. I take my shoes off when entering, and I return things to their original places (leashes, remaining treats, spare key, etc.). I treat your home as if it were my own!
About: I grew up caring, loving and cuddling with a Golden Retriever and a Dachsund, along with horses, cats and bunnies on our farm. I will go on long walks, play and cuddle with your dog. I had a pit bull and she loved to go to the ENO to hike and swim. If your dog loves that too, I’ll be happy to take them. I have experience with giving medications, caring for ones who have been injured and handling dogs with aggression issues. I love animals so you can have confidence that I will treat your pets with respect and love. I am available 7 days a week. If I am house sitting for you I will also water plants, pick up packages/mail, and any other small tasks you may need. I am excited to meet your dog and find out what their favorite toy, treat, and place to walk will be! Pet care is an intentional and fulfilling part of my daily routine. Even with a full-time schedule, I plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening play sessions. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and quality time with each pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Because I only accept a manageable number of bookings at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full attention without overcommitting. You can count on me to stick to their routines and keep you updated throughout the day. When I care for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything consistent and stress-free. I stick to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule, and provide updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. I also respect your space and leave your home just as I found it—clean, secure, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was about 10 years old. We had chickens, goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, and a peacock growing up. I’ have two dogs of my own and I’ve owned horses for the last 20 years of my life’s I’m currently working part-time early mornings so I am home all day to spend time with your pet. When I am work, my partner is home in case of any emergency. We have 10 acres of unfenced property for your dog to run. We also have a fenced in deck for dogs to enjoy sunshine and listen to the birds while we are home. We often take dogs on Ike’s or to the dog park if you would like.
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
About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life. I have experience taking care of animals with special needs, including those with medications, partial paralysis, hyperactive tendencies, senior animals and babies, both dogs and cats. Safety is a priority for me - I will always triple check harnesses and leashes and make sure that gates and doors are properly latched and locked. Your pet will always be treated with kindness and respect, and, with your permission, I will also offer extra treats to spoil your furry family member when I check in on them or take them for walks. I will often have weekend availability but sometimes weekday mornings as well (namely, Tuesday and Thursday mornings). Fridays I will be available on a rotating basis. I will carefully follow all client instructions to ensure that their pets are safe, healthy, and properly cared for. Animals will always be treated with kindness and respect, and they will receive lots and lots of pets when under my care. For dog-walking services, I routinely re-check leash attachment and recommend puppy parents use harnesses to reduce choking possibilities from pulling against collars. I encourage play and snuggles (though there may be more of one than another depending on the temperament of each pet).
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals. I’ve walked dogs for years and have cared for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even reptiles. As a former dog grooming assistant, I’ve worked hands-on with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. This experience taught me how to confidently handle shy, energetic, or more challenging pets with patience and care. I’ll treat your animals like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. As a full-time college student without a full-time job, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care. I’m available mornings and evenings, as well as for drop-in visits during the day. This flexibility means I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve while fitting care seamlessly into my routine. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take the time to understand their unique needs, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or giving extra love. I always prioritize safety by carefully following your instructions, keeping a close eye on doors, gates, and making sure your pet is happy and secure. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as I would my own.
About: I have been a dog owner for most of my life and I have once been a dog trainer and I now work in doggy daycare. My goal is to build my entire career around dogs! They have always been my passion and hold a special place in my heart. There is no better friend than a dog! I am a dog trainer so I base my whole day at work and at home on basic dog training commands constantly to keep my dog and myself in tune. I always make sure my dog is comfortable whether that’s the environment indoors or making sure her bed is clean and comfy. I refresh her water every 1 to 2 hours even if it’s full just to get hair, dirt, etc. out of the bowl and have clean water. I do tiny things like this constantly to make sure my dog and clients dogs are always comfortable.
About: Hello, I am Ari I have taken care of pets all my life. I’m a college student who has recently got laid off. I am trying to make money as well as help others when they need it. I have quite a bit of free time during the day and most weekends and wanted to help others with their pets. I understand how important our pets can be, I’ve had them all my life. I’m from another state and I miss my pets so much and this could be a great way to get in so animal time. I always make sure to give my pets undivided attention and I intend to do the same with my client’s pet. I will make sure they feel loved and get as much play time as possible.
About: I've dog and cat sat for family, friends, and neighbors since I was in middle school. This has ranged from long term care to evening check ins. I have a lot of experience with many different breeds and temperments of dogs, and currently own a border collie who I run with regularly. I'm currently a PhD student at MSU and have a very flexible schedule to hang out with your dog! I'll be able to check in on them throughout the day as well as take them on long walks (or runs) in the evenings and morning. I'll would love to run, walk, or play with your dog! I'm also well versed in a variety of dog-games, puzzles, and agility to help occupy their minds during any poor weather or injuries.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 15 and have loved every minute! I spent a year working for Telluride Humane Society in Telluride CO where I got to socialize rescue animals and get them acclimated to life in a home. I have experience caring for senior dogs with mobility issues as well as developing and executing a plan to get over weight dogs healthy again. I took a break from Rover during my undergrad to focus more on my studies, but as a graduate student at MSU I have a fairly flexible schedule and am excited to start taking care of pets again! I am currently a graduate student at MSU with a fairly consistent but open schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I have class until 1pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays are entirely set aside for my personal research which means that I am on my own schedule and have more flexibility to help! I love an affectionate pet and am happy to give them plenty of love and attention! Though, I also understand that some of them prefer to keep to themselves especially around a new person. I believe I know how to read their body language and figure out where to go from there. I would love to be able to take care of pets at my own home, but our homeowners don’t allow it so I would mainly have to do house visits (which I think is more comfortable for the pet anyway).
“Ave was great! She took on a very last minute request and was very kind and followed all of my instructions. After my dog got into the flowers in my vase, she went above and beyond by cleaning up his mess which was not expected of her. 10/10 ☀️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Gallatin is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 553 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Gallatin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Gallatin. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
