“This is the 3rd time Trena has cared for our pets in our home. She always does a wonderful job with them! We will continue having Trena care for our pets in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was about six years old. just started with feeding or helping my sister clean the hermit crab tank. Ive also volunteered on and off at shelters in Montana, a couple times in Bozeman and a month or two in Helena. I've lived with geckos, horses, hermit crabs, cats, dogs, fish and other aquatic animals including small frogs and snails. I have school during the year for an hour in the morning, so I'm pretty free to take care of your beautiful animals or just hanging out with them! I will be able to take care of your pet in your house, I will bring myself some handmade treats if allowed for dogs or some churues for the kitties!
“I couldn't be happier with the care my pets received! Danette went above and beyond to make sure my my pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She provided regular updates, including photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would recommend Danette to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I have been the mom of dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and chickens for many years. Right now I have a BEAUTIFUL German Shorthaired Pointer, two cats and chickens. I enjoy all energy levels and all personality types. I have been a pet sitter for many friends as well. I have a very flexible schedule as I am not working a full time job. I have one more child that will be graduating this year and then my husband and I will be empty nesters. I think a pet's comfort is based on continued adherence to their routines. Familiar smells and activities always help with separation anxiety. Mental training exercises can also help with high energy animals.
“Gabby was wonderful with our four dogs and made going out of town less stressful. She came and met the dogs before her stay and then provided numerous updates and pictures throughout her time with the dogs! Did not have to worry at all about them being taken care of.”
About: I have grown up in a household that is rare to not have a dog in it. Because of this, I have spent most of my life taking care of the dogs as a normal part of my day. From feeding them to walking and bathing, and taking care of them as the recover from medical procedures. Not only that, but I have been given the opportunity by friends and neighbors to dog sit for them while they out of town on a multitude of occasions. The variety of dogs that I have taken care has gone all over the place, from a singular Pomeranian to three energetic border collies. I am a full time college student living on campus most of the year, but leaving campus for a couple of hours throughout the day is always a blessing for me, especially when it comes to this kind of work. Unfortunately because I am in on-campus housing, I will not be able to bring your dog with me back to my apartment because of the policies of the school. However I am more than happy to take care of your dog at home, as I have easy transportation around town.
“Daria was amazing! She watched our little pug, Kona, over the weekend and sent lots of pics and updates - we always appreciate lots of communication because we miss Kona while we’re away! Kona was also very relaxed when we returned, and we could tell she had gotten all the attention she needed to forget about us ? there have been previous times with other sitters where we’ve come home to a very stressed and anxious pug, and we can tell that she didn’t get very much attention while we were gone - and that breaks our hearts. But not the case when we used Daria! I’m hoping to use Daria every time we go out of town if we can!”
“We booked Allie for a second time to watch our dogs, and she did just as amazing as the first time! Its really clear how much she cares about our animals while we are there and is very respectful of our space. There will most definitely be a third booking!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a little kid, love all animals and treat them all with respect and love as if they were my own, I used to train dogs and I job shadowed my vet for 2 years so if anything happens I am more than capable and comfortable to take care of it if you are! I always have time for pet care, pet sitting, anything that needs done that you can’t do I’m always available to do, I love animals and treat with respect I take them on walks all the time, make sure they don’t do anything to get hurt, I will always put the pets safety first, check their food and make sure it’s the right stuff

About: Helena, MT and surrounding areas! Accepting all pets, including farm and ranch! I am a native born and raised Montanan with a lifelong passion for all living creatures. I have spent the past 3 years working with dogs, cats, birds and small farm animals offering “just like home” services in our community. If you need a house sitter, drop in checks during the day, walks, transportation and/or grooming, I’m your go to gal guaranteeing peace of mind while you are away. I currently work full-time with the ability for early morning and late afternoon/evening services as well as full services on weekends. I will be opening full-time day and night services soon, stay tuned! If you’re jam packed with work, kids or other commitments and that “last minute” left fielder hits, I can be there to help keep your furry family calm and tended to. I am passionate about health and safety, following specific procedures and protocols. Please tell me if your family member is unsure of other animals or people, which is ok and understandable! This information helps me prepare to work with your pet on their level and grow a trusting relationship with them (and you!). I am experienced and capable of handling specific temperaments and array of different personalities both in group daycare and single settings, let’s chat! - I require domestic pets to be updated on all vaccinations. - Areas of my home (including communal toys, blankets, beds, dishes etc.) are sanitized between guests. - Pets are separated when unsupervised. - New clients always remain on leash when outside fenced areas. Let me know if your pet requires leash training so I can help!
“You’ve got nothing to worry about leaving your pets, house and whatever else with Sara! She’s super friendly, professional, and communicative. She does exactly what she says she’ll do and my zoo was so well cared for that when we got home they weren’t even that excited to see us! She took my dogs on outings and walks everyday and even sent me pictures of cat to let me know everything was A-OK! She is worth every penny and I’d use her services again in a heartbeat (if she’s willing!!) HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

Kara D.
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog and cat to Kara, and I am delighted to share my positive experience. From the moment I booked with Kara to the end, every aspect of the process was seamless and exceeded my expectations. First and foremost, communication with her was outstanding. She was prompt in responding to my initial inquiry, and was quick and thorough in answering my questions. It was evident that she prioritizes clear and transparent communication, which created a sense of trust and reassurance for me. Upon meeting Kara, it was apparent that she has a genuine love for animals. She connected instantly with both my dog and cat. I knew they would be in good hands while I was away. I greatly appreciated her attention to detail, such as sending me updates with pictures of my dog fetching his favorite ball and of my cat curled up and content next to her on the couch. One aspect that stood out to me was Kara's commitment to adhering to my specific instructions for the dog's walks and treats, keeping him on track with his training. My experience with Kara was outstanding, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to fellow pet owners. She will be my first choice for future bookings. Thank you, Rover, for introducing such a fantastic addition to your network of pet care providers.”

“Jenna is amazing with pets. She recognizes when your pet is stressed and spends the time to show them patience and love to help calm them. My dogs love Jenna because she is always happy to show them love and kindness to get the desired response from the dogs. My dogs are on opposite ends of the personality chain, one is very hyper and crazy happy while the other is anxious and wary. Jenna is able to get both dogs on an even level where they are happy and loveable with her. I would highly recommend Jenna as a responsible loving caregiver.”
