About: I have paid pet- and house-sitting experience, including a 10-day overnight dog-sitting stay in summer 2023 for a former supervisor. I cared for her poodle, golden doodle, and senior pug, and I returned for several shorter stays during the school year. During those stays, I cared for the senior pug while he was declining in health. I followed the owners’ instructions carefully, asked questions when I was unsure, and communicated any concerns in a calm, factual way. I also sent occasional photo updates to reassure them that their dogs were safe and well cared for. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleaning up accidents thoroughly, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. I also cared for my own cat, Babu, for many years, including during the last five months of her life when she needed regular medication in both liquid and pill form. That experience taught me a lot about patience, gentle handling, and caring for pets who may be sweet, scared, stubborn, or medically fragile. I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, senior pets, multi-pet homes, basic medication routines, litter boxes, and detailed care instructions. I also grew up caring for small and exotic pets, including lizards, hamsters, rats, and helping care for my grandmother’s iguana. I’m happy to care for many small animals or reptiles with clear instructions, though spiders are my one hard boundary. I currently have flexible availability for house sitting, drop-ins, and pet care. For overnight house-sitting stays, I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and quiet companionship. Before each booking, I like to confirm the pet’s schedule, how long they can comfortably be left alone, and any special instructions so I can make sure the care plan is a good fit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully and treat both the pets and the home with respect. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, harnesses, feeding instructions, medications, litter boxes, potty breaks, and any household routines. I’m comfortable asking questions if anything is unclear and communicating calmly if I notice a concern. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. I clean up accidents thoroughly, keep pet areas tidy, and do my best to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: ’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide overnight care for their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need structure and play, as well as senior dogs who need patience and gentle attention. I focus on maintaining each pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their well-being. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, and I’m happy to accommodate specific care instructions to keep your pet on their normal routine. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have a small, very friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets and helps create a welcoming environment. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable. If needed, I can separate pets to ensure everyone’s safety.

“Krista did a great job looking after my cats while I was traveling. She communicated with me about them regularly and was very accommodating when discussing the possibility watching the cats a bit longer if my return flight was delayed. I would definitely recommend using her as a sitter and will use her again in the future.”
“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 lost my own dogs a few years ago, so now I get my dog fix from other people‘s dogs. I take care of dogs like they are my own “children” which is how I referred to my own dogs. Many people have said I am a dog whisperer because I can get dogs to do things owners are not able to do. As I work full time, I make sure dogs get their daily exercise and lovings. While you are away, your dog(s) will be well taken care of with no worries. During the school year, I work full time from 7:30-4 Monday through Friday. I make sure animals have what they need before I leave for work and meet their needs when I return home. I am not able to come home in the middle of the day. During the summer break, I am available all day as I am not working full time. After learning the routine your animal(s) follow daily, l follow it to make sure they stay safe and healthy. I treat your pet(s) and home like it is my own.

I’ve always loved animals and miss working with them at my past job at a local animal facility! I’ve administered meds, followed specific dietary guidelines, and have had experience training dogs! I have personally had animals that prefer to stay separate from other pets and people. This meaning I have experience with different body languages, I have also studied animal behavior to better understand my own pets!

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
