“It was great to have Tia caring for my kitties while I was away. I liked the daily communication and photos. It helped me enjoy the trip and not miss my kitties so much.”


About: I've lived with dogs pretty much my whole life and have a special place in my heart for them! I've had some training experience, and I want to provide your pet with the best care possible. I have a huge heart and am able to stay calm in all situations. Please contact me and we can discuss hours, times, and days that I can be of help with your furry friend! I look forward to hearing from you! I am also a second-year nursing student at Carroll College and plan to take care of your animals just as well as my future patients! I can't wait to meet you and your pets! <3 I am a Carroll College student and I'm also on their debate team. I will be on a busy schedule this upcoming semester, so I sadly won't be as available when school starts. But when I am available, I'll usually be gone for 6 or so hours at a time going to campus for class during the day. During the summer, I've been working odd hours, but should be able to visit your animals within 4-6 hours. Although I may be busier during the school year, I promise to keep your furry friends as my top priority during my stay! I do not have any of my own pets, as I am living on campus at Carroll. It would be preferable to care for your pets in your own home, especially so they can stay comfortable. I can work well with a schedule, especially for feeding and potty times, (and playtime too!) and love to give your pet loving as well.

About: I said I have 20 years of experience but really it goes way beyond that. I grew up with creatures of all types in my life and this is the first time I haven't had one of my own. I have cared for family's and friends' dogs, cats, birds, rats, fish, creepy-crawlies and the occasional horse and chicken. I am very active and appreciate a good walk many times a day...but who doesn't like an afternoon nap in the sun, too. Let me take care of yours so I can have my critter fix and you can have piece of mind. I have a flexible schedule. I'm home most of the time except for the occasional trip to the store, health club or visiting family. I have a young grandson who visits a couple times a week. He is very familiar with having pets. I live within the city limits and am able to travel easily between pet clients. I don't have pets of my own at this time. I am available for short and long walks and hikes; depending on the client's wishes and pets' needs and interests. While sitting at a client's home, your rules are my rules.

“Shelbie was great with my dogs, very communicative and respectful of my home! I could tell my dogs felt comfortable around her and that she truly loves animals from the pictures she sent.”


“Thank you for Excellent work watching over our sweet kitties while we were away. It gave me great confidence and piece of mind knowing they were in good hands. And thank you for going above and beyond and watering the garden a couple times!”


“Monica was so great and provided very detailed updates after each visit. I’m very grateful for her care of my pets and would definitely re-book her for future rover needs!”


About: I provide personalized, loving care for every pet as if they were my own. With a focus on trust, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs, I go beyond just walks and visits—I build real bonds. Whether it’s extra playtime, belly rubs, or sticking to special routines, I ensure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every walk an adventure and every stay a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! Pet care fits into your daily routine by offering flexibility while allowing you to do something you love. You can schedule walks and visits around your personal commitments, ensuring a balance between work and family life. Since pet care often involves morning, midday, and evening visits, it provides structure to your day without being confined to a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Plus, spending time with animals can be both fulfilling and a great way to stay active! I provide a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether in their own home or under my care, I ensure a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I prioritize their well-being by following routines, recognizing signs of stress, and creating a calm atmosphere tailored to their needs. I have a fenced yard as well.

“Bailee was great with our young kitty, Theo. He has separation anxiety and warmed up to her almost immediately. He was a happy boy when we got back. Bailee checked in regularly and followed all instructions. She even cleaned up his space without being asked. Theo loved having her and we look forward to booking her in the future.”


About: I have grown up with dogs. I don't currently have a dog, I lost my fur baby a couple years ago I have experience house sitting, while watching pets. I am active, responsible, honest and a caring and patient person who loves animals. I am comfortable with all size and breeds of dogs I will feed them, refresh their water,play and walk them. I will give them all the love and snuggles they deserve. I do have a full time job M-Th 3 1/2 days a week. I have plenty of time evenings on those days and all day F-Su. I I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live in an area secure for great walks. I do allow animals on the furniture.

“Dee is great! She communicates well and gets the best pictures of the dogs so I know they enjoy her as well. Dee was also great about adding a few extra visits when my travel plans changed unexpectedly. Would definitely recommend her and will continue to book with her in the future!”


About: I’ve been around dogs for my entire life! We have our own pups, and love to go on hikes. Caring for animals is a huge passion in this household. I work full-time from home and am able to take care of dogs all day. I am able to let dogs out at any time, and there is lots of space for yard romping. The one things all dogs need is compassion, trust, and love. We have a fenced yard that is great for playing, and lots of neighborhood walkers that bring treats by!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was very young, including owning cats, dogs, horses, and cattle. I sincerely cherish every animal I am introduced to and strive to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. I have experience with basic canine behavior and training and have also worked in veterinary clinics for over 5 years, which provided a wealth of experience I bring to each pet I have the opportunity to care for. I am comfortable with many different temperaments and am able to administer medications if your pet requires additional care. I am an extremely active person, so there will be no shortage of activity for your fur-baby! Whether you are a pet parent to a Great Dane or a Munchkin cat, I treat each of them as if they were my own! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program which allows for a very flexible pet-sitting schedule. I am available during the week and on weekends, and am open to overnight stays if your pet needs more comfort while you are away. I am more than capable of overnight stays or late-night check-ins to ensure your pets feel most comfortable with a change in routine. I provide as many walks, hours of playtime, treats, and bouts of attention possible to ensure your pet never feels bored or lonely. I am able to provide basic training for pets if desired, which ensures no "bad habits" develop while you are away. If your pet is comfortable in the car, there are many dog runs on the outskirts of Helena that provide a great place for your pup to burn off energy and get lots of fresh air. I like to make sure that they are let out frequently throughout the day to ensure no accidents occur in the house - or if they do, that they are well-cleaned right away so you do not come home to any unpleasantries. I am flexible and adaptable to what is best for your fur-baby and will also send lots of pictures so you never feel like you are too far away!

“Katherine was amazing! This was my first time leaving my cat alone with a stranger but I was not worried at all. Katherine took great care of Coconut while I was gone and sent lots of update photos. She was able to help on very short notice and had no issues with a bit of a complicated feeding schedule. I can't recommend her enough! Thanks again Katherine :)”


About: I have had dogs, cats, horses, and chickens all my life. I am not ready for a dog of my own, but I miss dog time since moving from home. I would love a walking buddy! I used to train dogs and compete in agility shows, maybe I can teach your pup a new trick :) I work a 9-5 type job. I can work from home sometimes, and could also go home at lunch if I was sitting for a dog to walk it mid-day. I don’t have any other pets so this pup would get lots of love! I would definitely take the pup walking twice daily if I were dog sitting.

Morgan M.
“Morgan took care of our elderly cat, Rajah, and did a marvelous job. Rajah was in renal distress and required special wet food, but because he couldn't eat very much at a time, we had to offer him food four times a day. Morgan was unable to stay at our house with him, so she visited four times a day to ensure that he was eating and drinking - so critical with a disease like this. I couldn't have asked for better care for him. She even sent us photo updates, which eased our minds a lot. I found Morgan to be completely dependable and responsible. I highly recommend her!”

“Shannon did amazing watching our animals! We went out of town for the weekend and she stayed at our house in Helena. We have 2 dogs, 1 cat and some fish. She treated them with love and respect. She kept our hyper dogs active and took amazing care of them! She even cleaned out the fish tank while we were gone as a way of helping us not have so much to do when we got home. She’s the best sitter we have had by far!! We will be hiring her again in the future!”

“Kim is excellent with my dogs. She has been watching my two labs and house sitting, for yhe last 5 years My dogs are so happy when they see here. When i see her with other dogs she has an unconditional love for them and you can tell the dogs love her as well. I am so thankful that i have kim to watch them as well as my house when we are gone.”

Virginia P.
“Ginger has been watching my dog Ember since she was a puppy, and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with her. Ember has some fear and anxiety, and can be reactive in certain situations—but Ginger has always handled her with so much care, patience, and understanding. She truly creates an environment where Ember can thrive. Every time I pick her up, she’s happy, relaxed, and completely worn out from all the fun she’s had. It’s clear Ginger treats Ember like one of her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I’m so grateful to have her!”
