“Jason is wonderful. He took great care of my three large dogs. One requires medication and another is a senior dog who is a finicky eater. The two younger ones are highly energetic. Jason provided a lot of outside time to burn off their energy. He sent lots of photos and is a good communicator, asking questions and responding quickly to my texts. Jason also looked after my cats and sent photos of them as well. My dogs always looked happy and with Jason caring for them, I did not worry so much and could enjoy my vacation. He went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Jason for you pet care needs.”
About: I am a genuine animal lover. I have had multiple dogs throughout my life, and I currently have a black lab named Onyx who is an integral member of my family. I consistently take care of my family and friends' pets- I am comfortable managing each pet's individual needs and complexities. I have a background in teaching K-12 which translates nicely to the skills needed when caring for animals. I have worked with my dog to heal off leash, walk on leash on the right side without pulling, take treats nicely, and stay in our yard without going into the street. I have cared for young dogs that chew and need constant supervision, high energy dogs that need a lot of exercise and attention, and senior dogs that need regular medication and a lot of TLC! I will treat your pet as my own because they aren't just pets! They are family. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the week to keep your pet/s happy! My dog Onyx is a typical Velcro dog and goes with me on regular outdoor adventures. We take regular walks and love getting onto trails. We also spend a lot of time outside while I'm gardening and tending to the yard. Onyx is a regular companion to my wife and I during our day to day activities. Our plans revolve around including our dog and the pets I am caring for because we see them as family. I care for animals with love and compassion. If a rule needs to be followed, we will be following it! I will treat your dog and home with respect following your rules and instructions. My background in teaching has emphasized how crucial safety is. I will care for your pets as if they were my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 15+ years. I used to work for a pet sitting service, and have had dogs of my own as well. I currently work full time Monday- Friday. I can provide early morning check ins as well as evenings during the weekdays. I’m available weekends as well. I will make sure your dogs are well cared for and get exercise. I will walk them, play with them, and make sure to follow any schedule they have.
“Adam did great with both our dogs. He sent pictures, and was responsive when we checked in on how they were doing. He was very polite and treated our home with respect while staying overnight.”
“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!!!”
“Suzanne went above and beyond in every aspect of her stay with Lou and Lobo, walking them often, communicating clearly and sending updates. I was confident they were her primary focus and work during her stay. We would be grateful to book with her again. I rarely leave my dogs when I travel and appreciate the excellent, conscientious in home care Sarah provided Lou and Lobo.”

Sarah is absolutely amazing! She took the best care of my two pups while I was gone and sent updates and photos daily. She was so quick and communicative and I could tell how much thought she put into learning my pups routine :) she left the house in perfect shape and was just a pleasure to work with. I will definitely ask her to pet sit again!

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 , 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.
