About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs all my life. I now have three cats of my own who live a very loving, lavish lifestyle. Your animals will receive the same care my animals do! I currently work in medical device sales at Grandview medical. My schedule can be unpredictable at times, but I often have a ton of downtime. Plenty of time for a dog walk, a check in on a cat or dog, or plenty of time to come home and give any animal attention staying at my own place! My three cats get wet food 3 times a day as well as dry food as they prefer it. They have set food schedules that I follows everyday. I know cats are very susceptible to dehydration, and I’m very conscious of this. I change water daily, clean food bowls daily, give each cat probiotics to help keep their guts healthy, and add extra water to their food. I take my cats yearly to the vet, as well as took one of my young cats to a specialist and paid whatever means necessary to make sure he was okay. I now give that cat of mine meds weekly, so I am familiar with having to give meds to pets. My cats are left with animal noises on the tv daily, plenty of toys, plenty of room to run. Litter boxes are cleaned 1-2 times daily. This will be standard of care for your pets!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I was #1 dog sitter for about 5-6 neighbors through high school and college. I’ve taken care of many other dogs and cats as well. As a current medical student, I wish I could have my own dog but the time and finances won’t allow until I graduate. So for now, I can help take care of your pets and you can help me get my snuggle fix in! As a medical student, my schedule is often changing. I do have most evenings and weekends free for studying and I could always use a study partner or walk break! School is priority - but I will do my best to work with your schedule as well as my class schedule! I do currently live in an apartment, so boarding pets in my home is not a great option. I’ve stayed at very many homes to care for pets. Your pets health and safety will be my main concern - and I will always respect your home as well!

About: I have had dogs from small to large all my life. I love them all as my own. I have never lived a year of my life without dogs. I trained my golden retriever as a puppy and he does all the tricks! I’m a nurse and use dog walking as a side hobby! Looking forward to giving your pups a great time! Available every Thursday and weekends I own two dogs of my own. One 10 year old schnauzer and 8 year old Golden retriever raised since he was a puppy. I have a spacious backyard with plenty of room to run! Neighborhood is great for walking also. I do have a large size crate if needed.

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 honestly enjoy dogs and cats more than most people, sorry not sorry 😆. There’s just something about the trusting love of an animal that brings joy to life/my world. I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years, first to my sweet Charlie - no longer with us; and now to our foster fail Maya. Charlie was a border collie who never ran out of energy. Like, ever 😆. Maya is a more settled gal, but she still loves a good walk/hike as long as a nap comes afterwards. I’ve also been a cat mom, and cat foster mom for over 20 years. Our Sophie & Evie keep us on our toes requesting frequent snuggles, play time, treats, and nap time in our laps 💜🐾 If it’s not already evident, I firmly believe: pets are family, and pets have rights to autonomy/boundaries with people and other animals. I fully expect pet owners to have the same standards of care for selecting someone to help with their pet as I believe they’d use to choose a babysitter for their human kiddos. I happily respect and help maintain people’s rules for their pets (but all y’all that say they can’t get on the couch need an intervention 🙃😉 I’m just saying). Let’s chat about how to help your pets live their best lives when you can’t be with them - whether that’s walks, stop in visits, boarding in my home or other care needs. I work from home and have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule. I’m able to do drop in visits to feed, administer meds, let dogs out, attend to cat boxes etc. and during my visits I will also provide a bit of attention and interaction for your pets if they desire it - I’m not just a run in and run back out sitter ☺️ I provide in home boarding and doggy day care at my home, where they have access to our fully fenced backyard for potty visits and playtime (weather safety dependent). I will probably only offer cat care visits to your home, as I have our 2 girls here full time as well as often having a foster kitten/cat or 2. I will be happy to cater a care plan that best suits your requirements and your cat’s needs.

About: Hi everyone! I have optimal experience with all types of animals. I have grown up with them my whole life, and have three babies of my own. Two cats and one border collie. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, geckos, you name it! I rescued my one cat, and raised him back to health. My border collie, Leia, came from GBHS as an abuse case with some intense behavioral issues. Both are thriving and extremely healthy! That being said, I have tons of experience with behavioral issues or bottle feeding/some special needs cases. I also have experience in administering medication. Please reach out if you have any questions! I answer pretty promptly. My availability is pretty open as of now, but will change late August due to my nursing path at UAB. This is my full time job as of now, So I can pretty much fit around anything until late August! I do have fur babies of my own, so I just have to be able to come home to them as well. For care in your own home, I understand that I am entering your fur babies space! I will come in with a cautious, loving, and caring approach to provide them with whatever they need- whether that’s physical contact, play time (intense or light), or even just care from a distance :) Right now I am not offering care in my home, due to having three babies of my own.

About: Ever since I was a kid, I would beg my neighbors to let me bathe, brush, walk, or even just play with their dogs. When I was about 16, I decided I wanted to do dog grooming. Since then, my career path has shifted into being a hairstylist, but a goal I have is to get into dog grooming in the future. I will do my very best to give your pets the best experience with me as possible! I’m currently working part time in a hair salon. but on my days off I would love to spend my free time showing your pets love and keep them safe while you’re away💞 While your pets are in my care, they will be separated from any other pets unless friendly with others. If you have any medication or other medical needs for your pet, I am able to take care of those needs!

About: Since 2016, I’ve provided loving, reliable care for dogs of every size and personality. Whether it’s overnight house sitting, medication support, long walks, or simply being a comforting presence, I make sure each animal feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I communicate clearly and consistently, keeping you updated so you can relax while you’re away. My approach is gentle, attentive, and tailored to each dog’s routine and emotional needs. With references available and years of experience, I offer loving care when you can’t be there—because your dog deserves to feel at home, even when you’re not. I currently work part time and do online school part time. I am a hospitality coordinator at a business and then am working towards my ultrasound tech degree. I am gone for about 6 hours a day for work and then can spend the rest of the time at your house or dropping by to care for the dogs. I love movies and being a home body, so it is the perfect fit for me! I do not care for pets in my own home. I am available for overnight sitting in your home or drop in care. I care about safety and making sure it is secure and locked each time I leave. I wash the sheets if I stay overnight and make it seem like I was never there except for well-cared for pets.

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!

We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! Communication is always clear and reassuring, which makes me feel at ease leaving my dog in her care! Our dog has several medical problems that Gracie handles him no problem including giving him medications and monitoring his breathing on hot days. She sends pics and updates which I always appreciate. Highly recommend Gracie if you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Helena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Helena is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 888 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Helena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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. 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.

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.

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
  • 94% 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.
