“Sarah was very responsible with all text communication. She had a great attitude, and included our dog, Finley in all of her weekend activities. She sent pictures,messages, and videos to keep us informed. We appreciated Sarah very much and will contact her again for further services.”
“I’m incredibly grateful for the wonderful care my pup received, especially on such short notice! I really appreciated all the pictures and updates while I was away. In every photo, I could tell my pup was comfortable, happy, and in a great place. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was being so well cared for!”
“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!”
“Thank you, Lisa. We had great comfort, knowing you were taking such good care of Chukar . And shame on him for continuing to try and sleep on the bed! Highly recommend Lisa and Holly; a dog loving home away from home. Kelly”
“My husband and I recently moved to Helena, and we are so glad to have found Lily! She will be our "go-to" dog sitter from now on for our dog Bailey. At 10 months old, Bailey is still pretty high energy, and we could tell from Lily's pictures and updates that she was taking great care of her and giving her lots of attention. Lily was very thoughtful, thorough, and organized - she made time for a preliminary meeting, made sure she understood all of Bailey's care needs, kept in constant communication with us, and had Bailey's stuff cleaned, packed up and ready to go at pick up. When we picked Bailey up (after a three night/four day stay) we could tell she was relaxed and happy, and had been well cared for. We highly recommend Lily!”
“Tyisha took great care of our girl, Winnie, while we were in town for a wedding! She responded to our last minute request quickly and was very responsive throughout the experience. Her dogs are sweet and were great companions for Winnie while she stayed with them.”
“Jonathan was fantastic! My wife and I had been looking for a sitter in Helena for over a year who was responsible and reliable. We're so relieved to finally have found that and more in Jonathan. Throughout our trip, he was always quick to respond, very communicative, and accommodating. Most important, He was extremely patient when dealing with our senior dog who required meds twice a day and a special diet. We'll definitely book with Jonathan again!”
“Destanee came to my location to meet my fur baby in advance, and she understood the “Velcro” nature of her, and assured me all would be fine. She arranged pick-up with a third party without requiring my assistance (which was great because I was somewhere remote at the time). Thanks, Destanee!”
“Carlee was great and took amazing care of our Trapper pup! He felt right at home which was very comforting. He has so much fun he was exhausted. He would love to come back again! Thank you ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Helena on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 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.
