About: I lost my own dogs a few years ago, so now I get my dog fix from other people‘s dogs. I take care of dogs like they are my own “children” which is how I referred to my own dogs. Many people have said I am a dog whisperer because I can get dogs to do things owners are not able to do. As I work full time, I make sure dogs get their daily exercise and lovings. While you are away, your dog(s) will be well taken care of with no worries. During the school year, I work full time from 7:30-4 Monday through Friday. I make sure animals have what they need before I leave for work and meet their needs when I return home. I am not able to come home in the middle of the day. During the summer break, I am available all day as I am not working full time. After learning the routine your animal(s) follow daily, l follow it to make sure they stay safe and healthy. I treat your pet(s) and home like it is my own.
“Molly did a great job communicating and taking care of my cat and dog! She sent me pics of them and kept me updated. I will definitely book again in the future with her and let her watch my pets anytime I need it!”
About: I have cared for pets of my own and for neighbors and friends for years. I am comfortable with different sizes and temperaments. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs, including consistent feeding schedules and medication. I am home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I can provide consisten walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. On walks, I prioritize safety by staying attentive, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure dogs get the exercise and care they need at a pace that is comfortable for them. Caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping routine with animals and keeping the owners updated while they are away.
About: I have paid pet- and house-sitting experience, including a 10-day overnight dog-sitting stay in summer 2023 for a former supervisor. I cared for her poodle, golden doodle, and senior pug, and I returned for several shorter stays during the school year. During those stays, I cared for the senior pug while he was declining in health. I followed the owners’ instructions carefully, asked questions when I was unsure, and communicated any concerns in a calm, factual way. I also sent occasional photo updates to reassure them that their dogs were safe and well cared for. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleaning up accidents thoroughly, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also cared for my own cat, Babu, for many years, including during the last five months of her life when she needed regular medication in both liquid and pill form. That experience taught me a lot about patience, gentle handling, and caring for pets who may be sweet, scared, stubborn, or medically fragile. I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, senior pets, multi-pet homes, basic medication routines, litter boxes, and detailed care instructions. I also grew up caring for small and exotic pets, including lizards, hamsters, rats, and helping care for my grandmother’s iguana. I’m happy to care for many small animals or reptiles with clear instructions, though spiders are my one hard boundary. I currently have flexible availability for house sitting, drop-ins, and pet care. For overnight house-sitting stays, I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet companionship. Before each booking, I like to confirm the pet’s schedule, how long they can comfortably be left alone, and any special instructions so I can make sure the care plan is a good fit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully and treat both the pets and the home with respect. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, feeding instructions, medications, litter boxes, potty breaks, and any household routines. I’m comfortable asking questions if anything is unclear and communicating calmly if I notice a concern. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. I clean up accidents thoroughly, keep pet areas tidy, and do my best to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: ’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide overnight care for their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need structure and play, as well as senior dogs who need patience and gentle attention. I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their well-being. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, and I’m happy to accommodate specific care instructions to keep your pet on their normal routine. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have a small, very friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets and helps create a welcoming environment. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable. If needed, I can separate pets to ensure everyone’s safety. I maintain a clean, pet friendly home and can provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!
About: I have grown up living in the country with cats, dogs, chickens, and sheep. Currently, I have a 15 year old dog (puggle) and a cat. I have experience providing medication and senior care. I minored in Carroll College's canine track learning how to provide basic training for dogs. I work full-time from 8am to 330pm. I have the ability to come home on lunch if a pet needs to be let out or taken on a walk. I am home every afternoon and enjoy taking walks. I prefer to have communication to know what your pets individualized care. As I get to know someone I will strive to provide the care that is expected, provide top quality, and treat your pet as my own. My pets are like my family and I would aim to treat your pet the same. I enjoy going on walks, providing lots of pets, and taking time to connect with your pet.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little as we always had at least 2 dogs and a cat in our home. Throughout my life I have taken care of animals of every size, shape, and age! I grew up with boxers and German Shepards, and indoor/outdoor cats. All three of my dogs are medical rescues, so I have vast experience caring for dogs with extra needs. My oldest dog is an 8 year old Corgi/Beagle mix, the middle is a 4 year old Pitbull, and our newest pack member is a 1 year old XL mix. She is an even split of Cane Corso/Ptibull/Rottweiler/Great Dane/ Presa Canerio, so I am well adjusted to very big friends. She came to us with severe mange and eye defects, and now has severe colitis. Her situation has helped me become a pro with medications, injections, and baths! In addition to my own fur babies I have watched over 50 different dogs in my recent years. I come from a large family and within just my immediate family there are 9 dogs! I have cared for freshly born puppies (0 days until they were 8 weeks) and geriatric dogs, as our recently passed dog was 15 years old. I love every animal I meet like they are my own and know how important it is to find the right person to have around your babies. I work in the operating room so I am a medical professional who is completely unfazed by anything dogs could throw at me! Whether it is meds, blood, or their own bodily doings, I can handle it all. I work on a 4 day, 10 hour shift schedule so I have plenty of days to help take care of your babies! On my three days off I have completely availability to make sure I am with them a proper amount of time. In our home our dogs are completely spoiled. They have 2 acres of fenced in land to play on, with a pool, rope tugs on strong trees, and multiple sprinklers to go crazy with. While I will not be offering services at my own home, I will make sure to bring the fun to your pets when I am with them. If they aren’t super into playing, I will make sure to give them all of the love and cuddles they desire! I look forward to meeting them and catering my care to their individual needs. If anything of concern ever happens I will call you immediately and happily provide them the care you see best fit.
“Lynette was amazing! Would recommend 100%! Super loving and caring to my dog! Great communication and kept me updated and came even at the last minute at times. Was very flexible and even great at giving my dog meds. Would rebook with her over and over! ❤️”
“Krista is adored by our dog & takes great care of her while we are away. We always know when we come home we are coming home to a happy pup & clean home. She really is the best!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8-9 but I grew up with old English bulldogs, and pit bulls. Always playing, taking them out on walks, keeping them active. My schedule is open. I’m a gym manager at Planet Fitness Tuesday-Saturday. From Noon-8pm But I can work around my schedule if you needed me too! I have 2 Australian shepherds, Maggy & Tucker. They are very spoiled babies, I feed them when I leave for work, they get both dry and wet dog food. When I get home I refill there dishes with dry food, they gets treated of course. Take them out on there night walks, or we go on a drive.
About: As you can see in my photos, I have a GSP. She needs all the exercise and mental stimulation there is. I have plenty experience tiring out a happy dog :) I’m happy to do walks, play in your fenced yard, have fun at a nearby dog park, or go for a swim. If you’re comfortable with my dog joining, great! If not, totally fine too. I am currently available Monday through Friday, all day! I’m there for ya morning, afternoon, and evening. I’m happy to help any way I can.

FAQs for House Sitting - East Helena
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Helena on Rover is $38.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 East Helena 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 East Helena 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.
Tip: 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 East Helena 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
