“Kate was absolutely wonderful while caring for my cat during my time away. She administered medications, cleaned up unexpected messes, and made sure everything was taken care of with patience and attention. What I appreciated most was her communication. She provided detailed updates, photos, and messages throughout my trip, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated my pet as if they were her own. I truly appreciated Kate's reliability, professionalism, and compassion. I would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve owned animals for most of my life, dogs for 12 years, generally 1-3 at a time. Through caring for my own dogs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, administering medication, walks, basic grooming, basic training, and noticing when something seems off. I recognize every dog has different personalities and energy levels and routines that are important. I believe pets deserve kindness, consistency, and attention, and I will care for your pets the same way I’d want mine to be taken care of. I work from home full time, so I can easily accommodate most schedules/times and every day of the week. I’m more of a night owl but can definitely figure out what will work best for you and me and your pet! I have a fenced in yard, we have 3 dogs in the home, who are playful and dog friendly. If you prefer them to be crated at night especially in a new strange place that is easily accommodated. Whatever you do with your pets I will do my best to replicate to keep them feeling comfortable and at home! I have no problem with communication via text/call about or during visits, and am happy to send update photos each day!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family since high school and have 7 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, giving me a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. I’m very comfortable following care instructions, administering routines, and recognizing when something may be off. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure to stick to your pet’s schedule, rules, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I will be happy to share pictures/videos, too! I am available weekdays and weekends majority of the time. I work from home so I can be with your pet at all times! Any potty schedules would work. I have a house with a fenced in backyard. The house is all one level so it is easy to get in/out for senior dogs. I have 2 cats of my own that stay inside. One is pretty laid back and gets along with dogs. The other one likes to be by himself. I can keep my other cat separated if needed so it wouldn't be a problem.

About: I always tell my clients that I will treat their animals like my own. I want your pets experience to feel comforting, enjoyable, and reliable. I have pet sit for 8 years now. I fit it in mostly on weekends now that I have a dog of my own but I could potentially do it full time in the near future. I want to state that I do not stay overnight with your dog but will give them the needed attention and care multiple times a day and be right back to do the same the following day. I have a fenced in yard for my dog and a doggy door for her to let herself in and out during the day. I don’t leave her longer than 5 hours. I believe pets thrive off of human interaction and we are their best friend and all they know. Trust in me to give your pet a good time while you’re away. I will work off of you and your pets needs.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets in my home. I currently have three dogs of my own, ranging from 9 to 65 lbs, and I’m also an experienced foster for both dogs and cats. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of fostering and helping 24 animals find their forever homes. My fostering experience has given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities, including those with anxiety, nervousness, and behavioral challenges. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. All dogs in my care receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! While I work full-time, my schedule allows flexibility during the day for walks and drop-ins, and I’m able to come home during lunch to let pets out. My own pets are let outside 2–3 times before I leave for work and spend the entire evening out and about with me. Dogs in my care will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, plenty of attention, and lots of companionship. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, my pets have their own dedicated room, and each has their own crate for a safe, comfortable space to retreat to when needed. All pets are fed separately to help prevent food-related issues and ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. The pet room is quiet and away from the regular activity and household noises, giving pets a calm place to relax. Dogs that get along well are welcome to spend time together throughout the home, while pets who prefer one-on-one attention can have individualized time with me. I’m also able to rotate pets as needed so everyone gets plenty of time out, exercise, attention, and companionship. Pets are welcome to roam throughout the home and relax on the furniture when that is allowed in their own home. I do my best to maintain their normal routines and boundaries while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since COVID. I’ve pet sat and house sat for many other pet owners in the past. I have lot of experience with cats and dogs since I currently have four cats and two dogs. I have experience with pets with health problems as one of my cats is prone to UTIs. Im currently a stay at home girlfriend who just focuses on renovating our home with various house projects, playing and taking care of our lil zoo, and works on mysmall business. Since I do everything for myself, my partner, or our animals I have a very flexible schedule. I am clean and tidy and more than happy to adhere to any rules that pet parents might have. If walks or potty breaks are needed I’m more than happy to get out stretch my legs and can even offer playtime for dogs or cats who think they’re dogs.

About: I have loved animals ever since I knew what one first was! My family was active in animal rescue and it is something I kept dear to my heart all my life. I’ve actively worked with local rescues as a foster and transport for decades. I have babysat numerous pets for people over the years & I thoroughly enjoy it. I love getting to know each special little personality & instilling peace in the owners, knowing their beloved fur baby will be taken the very best care of. I have four animals & they are my absolute joys. I will treat your pet as part of my family in your absence & look forward to hearing more about your pets individual needs & personality! Whether it’s in your home, my home, daily walks, doggy playtime, & dog sitting, I can take care of it all & put your mind to ease this holiday season while traveling to & from loved ones homes. Please let me know how I can be the best pet sitter for your fur baby! I work at a local Elementary School and summer starts Monday, May 26th. I have chosen to rejoin Rover for the next couple of months throughout my summer break to bring in extra income. I will make your pet my top priority! I have 3 cats and 1 dog who are all inside pets. I do have a fenced in backyard that my dog enjoys on occasion. I am not a stickler when it comes to animals sitting on my furniture or in my bed @ night. I have crate trained many animals, as well. I have many years of experience helping numerous animals, together or separately. If your pet would be staying with me my cats will not be an issue. My dog is extremely friendly but also, does not have to be there during your pets stay, should it be an issue. I offer in home boarding @ my home. I offer walking your dog, doggy daycare, spending time with your cat(s), and any other accommodations that maybe needed.

Such a great experience! Alana was thoughtful, attentive, and went above and beyond while caring for my cat. I especially appreciated that she noticed my prescription medication needed to be refrigerated and took the initiative to put it in the fridge before leaving. It was such a considerate gesture and really speaks to her attention to detail and genuine care. I would absolutely recommend Alana!

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Helena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Helena is $21 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 929 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
