“Shawnee was amazing. I felt so safe leaving my doggy with her. I got picture updates as well which I thought was excellent. Definitely recommend her and will be booking her again to watch Hazy!”
“Ron was excellent. Great communication and confident enough to let my dog roam off leash for mountain and creek walks! He provided pictures of my girl, which always warms my heart.”
“My dog had a great experience with Lily . He was immediately welcomed and felt at home. Lily was very open to his routine and feeding pattern. She sent updates and photos which were very comforting. He got lots of exercise and was happy and tired when I picked him up. Thanks Lily!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals. My first job was at a dog boarding facility where I prepared food and medications, cleaned kennels, bathed and groomed dogs, and took them on walks. I’ve also pet-sat for family friends for weeks at a time, caring for a variety of animals—including a pig once! In addition to my professional experience, I have two small Chihuahuas of my own, so I understand how important individualized care, patience, and attention to detail can be. Above all, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. As a resident manager, I have the flexibility to bring my own dogs with me throughout the day. I split my time between my apartment and my office, which has a private living space attached, allowing me to provide frequent supervision and attention. There is also a large park directly behind my workplace, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Your pup will receive lots of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day, whether I’m working or at home. At home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I live in the downtown area, which gives us lots of opportunities for walks, fresh air, and mental stimulation. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of toys, treats, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs and routine. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel happy, secure, and right at home while you’re away.
“Michelle was awesome! She was awesome with my golden, Gus. She has a great space and Gus went home super happy 😊 Will definitely rebook next time I’m in the area! Thanks, Michelle!”
“Danielle offers such a warm and inviting environment for dogs to feel right at home. She was super responsive and communicative and gave plenty of reassuring updates during our pups stay. Will definitely use her again and she comes highly recommended!”
“Kacie was so awesome and the house was so welcoming. All dogs at the property got along so well and played. Malone was super happy to be there. The frequent updates and pictures made us feel so good about Malone being there. She will be our go to when we need a pup sitter.”
“Sarah is absolutely amazing! Very communicative and so loving! I will use her every time I need a pet sitter. She even took my dog to his grooming appointment so that I didn't need to change it. He got to sleep in bed with her every night. She treated him as one of her own. Highly reccomend Sarah!”
“Lisa took great care of our girl Rylee while we hiked around the GC rim and took a helicopter flight over the canyon. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had animals in my life ever since I was 4 years old. I've done extensive research on pets and what kind of care they prefer, what kind of diets are healthiest for them, and all the details that bridge the gap between their domestication and their primal instincts. I will provide loving care to dogs, cats, and other small animals like birds, hamsters, rabbits etc, and I will leave your house in just as good, if not better, condition than I found it! I work almost full time, but my schedule at work is very flexible, so I am available on weekdays and weekends. I can take animals on walks if needed, or just be there to feed them and let them out daily. I am very flexible in terms of what services I offer, as it depends on what services you need! I can come and petsit at your house, and I can even spend the night if you just don't want your fluffy friends to get lonely. I can board for certain pets but not all, so it is best to message me directly about what you are looking for!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Helena
Morgan was great! She was communicative and kind, happily stopped by for a meet and great before I left town. She was flexible in working around my schedule and sent updates with pictures of my dog going on multiple walks, and generally having a great weekend! It was nice to know he was in capable hands while I was away. Will use her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 29 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Helena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Helena home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Helena.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Helena sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
