“Our very energetic pup had the most wonderful day with Genevieve and her dog plus one other. Gen was super gracious and communicative and I felt 100% comfortable leaving Guinness in her care. Couldn’t be happier.”
“Our dog stayed with Sophie for the day while we went to Glacier National Park. Everything worked out perfectly. Our dog was well taken care of in their home with a large fenced back yard. Our dog came back home happy and tired from a very fun day. We would certainly have her watch our dog anytime.”
“Lisa is super sweet and I could tell right away that my dogs loved her. She was inviting from the moment we went to do a meet & greet. When we got there for the boarding, she made sure to ask questions & listen. During our time away I received daily updates & pictures of my happy boys! Well definitely be booking with her again!”
“Visiting from out of town, it was great to find Kaylea to watch Brutus for the day. Great communication and setup a meet and greet the day before. After picking Brutus up, he had so much fun he was ready for bed once we got back to the hotel. Would highly recommend Kaylea for dog services in the Whitefish/Kalispell area.”
About: During the summer, I have pretty open flexibility! I am an educator and have the summers off to help with all of your pet care service needs! I am passionate about loving and caring for pets. As somebody who loves to travel, I know how stressful it can be to find a reliable sitter to watch your furbabies. I’ve taken care of dogs and pets for the last 15+ years. I grew up sitting, walking, and loving pets with care. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, as well as cats of all ages. I am comfortable administering meds and adhering to specific schedules and routines. Please contact me with any specific questions and I would be happy to accommodate accordingly. From June through the end of August, my daily schedule is flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. With my own dog, we get in at least 1-2 walks per day with longer walks on the weekends, and I would love to create a schedule with your dog for consistent exercise as well! A tired dog is a happy dog! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog of my own to help make your dog feel comfortable. I am able to crate your dog, if that is something you’re interested in.
“Had a wonderful experience with Alaina! She was willing to do a meet and greet with her dogs ahead of time so I’d feel comfortable leaving my pup with them while we spent the days in the park. She took such good care of Maggie, taking her on multiple walks and letting her play at the beach. My dog came home happy and tired, and was excited to be dropped off the next morning. Alaina clearly loves dogs, and treated my pup like one of her own. Such peace of mind to have a safe, fun place for your pet to be while we explored Glacier. I would absolutely work with Alaina again!”
“Kelly was fantastic in accommodating our early drop off time so we could get into Glacier National Park early to find parking. We were worried about leaving our rescue dog all day for the first time since we got him a few months ago, but Kelly was great to talk through everything with us. She's also very knowledgeable about pittie breeds like ours, so that was also reassuring. She took great care of King, and he was worn out from the hiking and river time by the time we picked him up, which was great since we were tired too and all went to bed early! Kelly has a great secured property for dogs to roam and explore. Would definitely recommend her to anyone else looking to leave their dogs with a responsible qualified dog sitter/boarder!”
“Sue watched our pups while we were at the music festival and we were so thrilled to have found her. Sue’s personality is so chill and positive and our dogs immediately recognized that. She has a fenced backyard that is doggie heaven and a huge shade tree for the pups to nap in. She was flexible with our pick up and drop off times, even when we picked them up super late at night. Knowing our dogs were safe and taken care of was worth every penny. It’s hard to find a sitter in whitefish, let alone one that is so close to downtown. Thank you Sue for all you did for us while we were in town!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup with anyone other than a groomer and Whitney was wonderful!! She had great communication, loving, and was so sweet with our Stella. We were so pleased and wish she lived near us in Florida so we could use her more frequently! Thank you Whitney! Can’t wait to see you next year.”
“Morgan took good care of our pups and was very accommodating with the hours. She paid attention to introduce her dogs to ours and all went very well. Thank you again!”
“Riley was great with our lab George while we explored the area for the day! She was wonderful to be flexible last minute when we realized I booked the wrong day! Will use again!”
“Tiffany is a wonderful dog sitter. We used her doggy day care service while heading up to Glacier National Park for the day. She was flexible, super responsive, sent tons of photos and definitely set my mind at ease with her frequent communication. My dog can be a handful at times and doesn't get along with every dog, but her lab Henry is super sweet and friendly and they got along just fine. I recommend her to others for sure and would gladly have her watch Penny again.”
“Shauna was the best sitter we could’ve asked for! It was our first time using a pet sitter and she immediately put all of our worries aside! Shauna was quick to communicate leading up to the day and sent updates and pictures all throughout our stay. Her large yard is fenced in, grassy, clean, and has plenty of shade. Our dogs seemed like they had a great time and got along great with her dogs. I couldn’t recommend Shauna enough! She was even very flexible with extending the day when we got held up in Glacier due to delayed shuttles. I will definitely go back to Shauna next time I’m in the area!”

“Working with Sarah was a pleasure. She was responsive to arrangements and questions. Sarah arrived on time and immediately our dogs both loved her. They were well cared for while we were away from our campsite on a whitewater rafting trip. If you need someone to look after your pups while you hike or raft in Glacier then she’s the person you should choose!”

Jazmine had a wonderful time with Genevieve and her family! Communication was clear and seamless throughout the entire stay, and both drop-off and pick-up were easy and convenient. We truly appreciated the excellent care Jazmine received and look forward to booking with Genevieve again.
Sara was great with my dog Stella! I was visiting Whitefish and wanted to do a big hike in Glacier National Park. I had to leave my Airbnb super early, so Sara came and picked my dog up and took her back to her own place so she wouldn’t be alone all day. She sent photos and videos and took great care of her. She even dropped her back at my place when I was on my way home. I will definitely use Sara again when I am back in the area

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Whitefish commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 69 sitters in Whitefish, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
