About: I’ve grown up around animals and a garden my entire life. I started helping out with animals since I have been ten and it has always been one of my favorite tasks to do. My family has several large dogs, cats, chickens, hogs, and occasional steers so there is no animal too big or too small I can’t handle. My dad is particularly enthusiastic about gardening and my mom grows flower baskets so I would consider myself a pro at watering and making sure everything is on schedule. I am from Helena and I’m going to be a sophomore at Carroll College. I’m pursuing an engineering degree and I’m on the cross-country and track team. I’m the morning before school I enjoy going for a walk to start my day. During the day I’m in town at school or at practice which means I won’t be able to visit your home midday. My typical evenings are filled with homework which is when I spend the most time with animals. After doing homework, I enjoy going for a walk to unwind and calm down from the day. I like to wake up early and get going for the day; this allows me to take a walk in the morning to get the blood flowing. Once I’m in town, it stay in town until school at practice is over which is about from 9:00 to 5:30 but no later then 6:15. Once done with school I head home and do homework and spend time around the house. Once homework is done, I typically go for a walk to unwind from the day.
About: I have had animals in my life ever since I was 4 years old. I'm pretty new to Rover, but have been petsitting by word of mouth since 2020! 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 full time, but my schedule at work is incredibly 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 spend the night if you don't want your fluffy friends to get lonely. I can board for certain pets but not all, as I have a very picky cat of my own, so it is best to message me directly about what you are looking for!
About: I have years of experience with every kind of dog. I am a dog sport competitor and trainer and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I have trained and worked with working and service dogs, pet dogs, puppies, and seniors! I love taking dogs out in nature and helping them have a good time. I’m currently working halftime as an office manager and have a lot of time to spend with your pet! My schedule is extremely flexible, but I am especially open during the afternoon and evening. I am able to check in on pets, spend time with them at your house, or take them out on walks. I have two Golden Retrievers that may join along if the situation allows it. Very early mornings, afternoons, and evenings are open for me.
“Lily did an excellent job looking after our dogs and horses! We were able to leave them with total peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. I’m picky when it comes to who watches our fur babies…we will continue to use Lily whenever we can book with her!”
About: I have loved and trained dogs my whole life. I am a retired certified K-9 trainer and handler with 10 years experience. Dogs are one of my biggest joys in life. I am semi-retired professional and have a very flexible schedule to care for the dogs in my life. Dogs deserve lots of love and time for all the joy they give each of us. I offer a huge (free roam) fenced yard. I also have a kennel in the back yard with heated dog houses if needed. A doggie shower and a large kennel are available inside a heated garage. I allow dogs in my home. Numerous dog walks per day are a must. I will be honest, trustworthy and respectful when visiting your home. My property is dog safe.

About: I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science, which has given me a strong foundation in animal health, behavior, nutrition, and proper care. In addition to caring for dogs, I have extensive experience working with livestock, including cattle and horses, so I'm comfortable handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each animal's individual needs, whether that means providing exercise and enrichment for an energetic dog or giving extra care to a senior pet. I'm also comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering oral medications, monitoring for signs of illness or injury, and communicating regularly with owners to provide updates. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care so you can feel confident your animals are in good hands while you're away. I work full-time during the week, with one day each week working from home, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with pets throughout the day. On my in-office days, I have a one-hour lunch break that allows me to stop by for potty breaks, feedings, walks, or check-ins if needed. Before and after work, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and I'm fully available during evenings, weekends, and holidays. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives reliable, consistent care. Whether it's daily dog walks, overnight stays, or caring for livestock, I'm committed to keeping your animals safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I strive to keep every pet's routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client's home, I follow their feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I'm respectful of my clients' homes, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as they left it. If caring for pets in my home, they will have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and enrichment. I make sure each pet has fresh water, a consistent feeding schedule, and lots of love and attention. With my background in Animal Science and experience caring for dogs, livestock, and other animals, I'm confident handling pets with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs while always prioritizing their safety and well-being.

When house sitting, I can also pick up your mail, water plants, and whatever else you may need while spending quality time with your pets!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Helena
Haydee took care of my 2 dogs and cat for a drop in visit. She paid attention to instructions making sure everyone got the right amount and kind of food. She communicated well and everything was in order when I got home. I would certainly have Haydee back to care for my pets again.
This was our first time using Katherine and we will definitely use her again. She was prompt for her visits to feed and play with our dogs twice a day and I felt confident that if anything came up she would let us know. We were able to be out of town without any worries.

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.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
