“Another great visit by Kate! She was so sweet with the doggies and brought them toys to play with! I had a lot of instructions because one of my dogs can be food aggressive, and she followed them perfectly and made sure I was able to enjoy my weekend away with no worries! Thank you so much Kate!!”
“We are so grateful for the care Oliana provided for our sweet kitty, Sybil. Oliana sent pictures every day which helped ease our minds while we were away. She was also very easy to communicate with. We will definitely book with Oliana again!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was nine years old. I am comfortable with big dogs (grew up with wolf hybrids and Great Pyrenees) and love to spend time with kitties. I have experience caring for sick and diabetic cats. I work from home three days a week and would absolutely love to spend my day making sure your furry friends have good company. I work as a reporter, so my schedule can be a tad unpredictable at times, but as long as we have a set understanding I wll make sure to be there for your loved ones I cannot offer a place to stay at my apartment (not allowed in my lease) but am more than happy to come to you and yours.
“Morgan was outstanding. She paid close attention to every detail about Vera and ensured me that she was in good hands. Her report cards let me know how Vera did, her energy level and even what treats she got that visit.”
About: I grew up with dogs and was lucky enough to have had one very best boy of my own, Bubba. 🤍 I genuinely love getting outside for a good walk, letting them stop for all the important sniffs, and making time for plenty of play and attention along the way. I always prefer to meet your pup first so we can get acquainted and make sure we’re a good fit. I’m open to dogs of all kinds, but I do consider size, strength, and leash habits to make sure I can confidently and safely handle your pup on our adventures together. Whether we’re out exploring or having a backyard play session, I’m happy to make our time together something they look forward to. 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of freedom to work pet care into my day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, medication, or just some extra company, I can easily adjust my routine around theirs. I primarily offer care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m happy to do a walkthrough beforehand so I can learn the lay of the land, your pet’s routine, and any special instructions. I can accommodate some small pets in my home with their own portable enclosures.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter while we were away for two weeks! She took such terrific care of our cat and gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about our cat's comfort and well-being. We loved receiving updates and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
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.
“Great communication and flexibility. I was flying standby and had to make some changes and Melinda was flexible. She kept me well informed on how my pooches were doing. Will definitely book with her again.”
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!
“Krista was amazing with our high energy lab Sig and our other dog Banjo. She ensured their food and water was full, and played with them in our backyard for check ins while we were out of town. We loved seeing the pictures she sent and felt at ease while we were out of town. We will for sure have Krista watch our dogs again. Thank you!”
“Cosmo did such a great job with Mozey! From feeding to entertaining, Mozey loves him! In fact he gets excited when he sees Cosmo. We definitely trust Cosmo and will ask him back for sure!”

Morgan took such wonderful care of our LuLu. We came home to a happy & excited dog. She was terrific to work with as our travel plans changed & a great communicator. We enjoyed all the pictures, weather updates & knowing she played with Lu a lot. We would happily book again. Thank you so much for taking care of our wild, smart, and goodest girl Lu. Also, the Lu commentary was perfect. 😂
Kate was a great , awesome person to check on my cats twice a day for feeding , medication adminstration for my boy cay Grey , the auto water changes , litter box cleaning and entertaining them . Communication was excellent with pics of the visits . Kudos to this aspiring goal oriented and beautiful lady whom loved Gods creatures !
Danielle was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two cats. We were initially hesitant to hire someone we didn’t know, but she immediately put us at ease with her friendly demeanor and professionalism. Her communication was excellent, and we loved receiving photos while we were away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Helena is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 108 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Helena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Helena. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
