“Elizabeth was great! She was good with my cat Nova who can be standoffish/cranky to new people and she does more than just the bare minimum you ask of her! She was also punctual. I’d definitely use her again”
“Kyler takes such good care of our kitty while we are gone. She gives her lots of love and attention and always sends the cutest pics. She goes above and beyond with making sure she cleans Dolly’s litter box and feeding areas and takes out the trash. She’s very kind, thoughtful, and reliable!”
“She was very sweet and communicative. I love the detail in which she wrote her notes. My dog is very precious to me and it means a lot to have someone taken care of her who truly cared about her.”
“Gennifer did a terrific job and we couldn’t be happier. She came to meet the pups beforehand and did 2 drop-ins each day. (Also sent pictures each day!). Definitely recommended.”
“Carson was absolutely amazing! Needed someone to come feed and walk my dog and feed my cat last minute during the holidays and she filled. She communicated well and would definitely rebook!”
“Jackson has been dropping in on deuce now for 3 weeks while I work. He’s been phenomenal and keeping me updated. Thank you so much for loving my fur baby as much as I do !”
“Hannah is awesome! She helped us last minute when we couldn’t get our normal sitter for Duke. She sent lots of pictures and I know Duke had a great time with her. Thanks Hannah!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and personality since I was 14, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me because I’m patient, gentle, and really pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m great with shy or anxious pets, and I know how to keep energetic dogs active, happy, and safe. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or baths, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for the entire time you’re away. Your fur baby will always be my priority. I’m a nursing student with a very flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I plan my classes and study time around my bookings, which means your pet always gets my full attention. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust to whatever schedule your fur baby needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort mean everything to me. I take my time to learn what each fur baby needs so they always feel calm and cared for. I keep a clean, peaceful environment and follow your routines closely—feeding, walking, litter care, meds, anything they need. Whether I’m in your home or mine, you can trust that your pet will be loved, watched closely, and treated gently every moment they’re with me.
“Libby has provided fantastic care and companionship for our dogs. She understand our concerns and is quick to keep us informed. We love seeing pictures of how happy our dogs are when she is there. Libby is great!”
“I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter. She recently watched my cat, Lea, and did a great job. She was patient with my cat’s “ways” (sorry she’s not the most sociable!), but Caroline was on top with the visit cards and pictures, and very reliable. It's such a relief to find a sitter you can trust. Thank you so much, Caroline, for taking such wonderful care of my baby Lea!”
“Princess is WONDERFUL. Our dog absolutely adores her and loses his sweet mind when she comes around. She keeps us informed about how he’s doing, how he’s eating, etc. We love and trust her completely.”
“Rachel and Justin did a great job taking care of our boys! I’m not even sure they missed us while we were away. They were even able to get our shy old man to play which is quite the feat. Usually house sitters don’t even see him. I will definitely be using them again the next time we go out of town! Thank you guys!”
About: I will treat your dog just like he/she is my own. Your dog will have my undivided attention. We will go on long walks and play with his/her favorite toys. I have a huge backyard that is completely fenced in for them to run and explore! I am willing to bathe your dog as well. I have another job and this would be a perfect side job for me because of my love for animals. Anytime I am not selling insurance I will be available to be a care taker to your furry friend. If your dog has any appointments then I will gladly be the chauffeur. I know how scary it is to leave your child with someone, so I will GLADLY send pictures all day if you would like! I have had dogs/cats all my life and I can promise 100% satisfaction guaranteed! My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a summer camp experience for your furry friend! Some things I will need from you: - feeding schedule - any allergies - any quirks (for example, my dog will freak out if someone he does not know tries to bathe him!) - any tell tell signs they are wanting something from me. (When my dogs start staring at me and wagging their tails I know they have to go to the bathroom.) - I have a cat room so if they do not get along with cats I can make arrangements just make sure to let me know! I want to make sure they keep their normal routines because I know how important my routine is to me and my dogs! I am the go to for my friends and family when they need someone to watch their animals which is why I decided to become a sitter on Rover! I work an 8-5 and have 2 dogs of my own! They are super friendly and love to play with other dogs. We do morning and afternoon walks (afternoon depends on the temperature of the pavement) and luckily I am able to let them out on my lunch break as well! My day revolves around my dogs so adding more furry friends to the mix sounds great to me! I have a huge fenced in yard for them and toys galore! I like to spend my time at home on the weekends other than my daily gym trip, so your baby will have my full attention! I also can bathe them so they come home fresh and clean!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have been caring for pets since I was about 10 years old. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as the dogs and cats of family and friends, and I genuinely love getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I currently have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has different routines, personalities, and needs. Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs some company while you’re away, or your pet simply needs someone to stop by, give them attention, and make sure everything is taken care of, I’m happy to help. My goal is simple: I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Hi! I’m Cory, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can actually trust when you can’t be there for your pets. I love spending time with animals, whether that’s going for a walk, playing with an energetic dog, giving a shy pet some time to warm up to me, or simply hanging out with them and giving them some attention and companionship. For drop-in visits, I can help with things like feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and making sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I’ll also make sure your home is left the way I found it. I currently work as a bartender Tuesday through Friday from 11 AM–6 PM, which gives me availability before and after work on those days. I’m also available throughout the rest of the week, including weekends and Mondays. Your pet’s routine matters to me. I’ll follow your instructions, respect their normal schedule, and keep you updated so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing. I know how much I worry about my own pets when I’m away, and I want to give you that same peace of mind. I can’t promise your pet won’t end up liking me a little too much—but I’ll do my best. 🐶🐱 I love to sit and love on all the animals and play with them! I can take them on any length walk or just provide company for them
“I knew from the moment I met Sarah that she was a cat lover. I’ve got five kitties and was away for thanksgiving week. She came by twice a day to take care of my babies, properly fed, watered, poopy scooped and played with them, sending several pics of each visit. My kitties felt comfortable with her and she engaged all of them, even my scaredy cat. We all like her very much! I was able to enjoy my trip with no worries about my kitties. I will definitely have her over again and I highly recommend this wonderful young lady!”

Meradith provides an exceptional service in taking care of my pups while I’m away. She has taken care of them multiple times and they are happy and content each time I have come home from a trip. Meradith provides photos and feedback after each visit. I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur family.
We asked Danielle to do a last minute drop in for our dog when we were going out of town. She was very communicative, sent photos, and was very sweet and loving to our fur baby. I appreciated her responsiveness and the details she sent in her update when she checked in on our dog. Would definitely hire her again!
Dana is fantastic! She stopped by to let Albus and Tom out to potty, and everything went so smoothly. Tom can be a little shy and anxious with new people, but she was so patient and gentle that he warmed right up to her. Both boys were well-cared for and happy after her visit. Highly recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Helena stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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!
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.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Helena with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
