“Abby is an absolute gem of a cat sitter. She took such thoughtful and attentive care of my cat, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated, and it was clear my cat was comfortable and well-loved in her care. She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who goes above and beyond.”

About: My experience with dogs is not as extensive as my cat experience however I learned a lot in owning a dog for a little while. I do not currently have a job so my schedule is fairly open. Once I am employed full time my availability will only be afternoons and weekends. I can easily crate a dog. I can take your fur baby on walks and spend time with them inside your home. For cats I will make sure to feed them, and play with them if they are willing.

“Christina was amazing! My cat, Cece, loved her. Cece normally never comes out for anyone when we are gone but she came out for Christina and got some pets and love almost every day we were gone. Clearly she was very comfortable with her and felt safe. She even went and picked up a package for me at the leasing office because it needed to be refrigerated and came earlier than expected. Will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: I have animal experience in a shelter setting and in a medical setting. I’m currently working at a veterinary office as a kennel attendant. I’m also able to administer medications orally or via injections. I work from 8-6, but I get a two hour lunch. I’m able to drop in and check on animals in the mornings, on my lunch break and after work. I’m always mindful of an animals mood and try to adjust accordingly. If there’s treats, toys or routine that make an animal comfortable the that’s what I try to follow.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood, and at one point, I even considered becoming a veterinarian. I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, turtles, and fish. I’ve also had the opportunity to look after my friends’ pets whenever they need help or are traveling. I truly enjoy their company and love spending time with animals. Caring for pets is something that brings me joy, and I’m happy to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I offer part-time pet care on weekends from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Weekend afternoons after 12:30 PM and weekdays after 5:30 PM require advance scheduling. When caring for cats and dogs in their own homes, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I carefully follow the owners’ instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications (if needed), and any special needs. I make sure doors, windows, gates, and fences are secure to prevent pets from escaping. I also keep food, cleaning products, and other potentially harmful items out of their reach. I give pets plenty of attention, monitor their behavior, and make sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for their peace of mind.

About: I’ve been professionally training dogs for 3 years now and before that I built a solid foundation working with my friends and families dogs as long as I can remember All pet care would hold priority over any and all planned weekly activities. Even unforeseen things will be lower priority than pet care unless they are urgent/ emergency Safety is always at the forefront of all interactions so making sure everything is secure will be first on the check list and any and all requests from owners will be followed to a T

About: hiii! I was an animal shelter volunteer for a little over 7 years! I am very comfortable around all types of animals, poop etc. doesn’t bother me either! I think a person watching your animals shouldn’t just “watch” them but spend quality time with them! It can be scary for animals being left with an unfamiliar face so making the experience as enjoyable as possible ensures that they will be more comfortable next time! i also already go to the dog park every other day and sometimes every day! we absolutely love going (me and my dog sookie)!! I am a college student but thankfully all my classes are online! I don’t typically prefer weekends but if needed then I will be there! I am free 90% of the time! For the cats I have plenty of scratch posts and things they can play with. I also have cats of my own they love making friends! For dogs, I have a crate and large backyard with a lead post! they are allowed on couches and the bed if they want to go that route! Animals will show clear signs of discomfort and my responsibility is to listen and adhere to that

About: I have had cats since I was little and I've always adored them. I've read as many books about cats as I could get my hands on so I know how to understand them and take care of them. I have two furrbabies at home, Miracle and Midnight. I do work nine to five Monday through Friday but I could very easily drop in on any evening or weekend that I am available. I'm very careful when opening doors that lead outside to make sure no one escapes. I also am careful to do a sweep of the house to make sure nothing dangerous or toxic is left out that they could ingest or get into.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s grown up with both cats and dogs. I currently care for three dogs and four cats at home which means I’m pretty used to all kinds of personalities, from the shy ones to the goofy zoomy ones. I bring patience, reliable care, and a calm presence to every visit! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends and weekdays . When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of attention, and keep you updated with pictures through out the day!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Helena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Helena is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 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 130 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Helena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Helena. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
