“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!”

“Krista was great! One of my babies is pretty shy around new people but he warmed up to Krista quickly! They both loved the snuggles and play time Krista provided. I really appreciated the updates. I would definitely feel comfortable leaving them in Krista’s care when I can’t be there.”
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!

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 always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable. If needed, I can separate pets to ensure everyone’s safety. I maintain a clean, pet friendly home and can provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!

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.

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.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Helena choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 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.
