“Whitney watched our pups twice for us and she did a wonderful job. She sent plenty of photos and updates. She stayed at our home with them and left the house spotless! We will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Whitney!”

“We’re so happy we found Kaitlyn to stay with our three dogs over the holidays. She was a conscientious sitter and houseguest, and in the photo updates she sent, we could tell our dogs were happy and relaxed in her presence. She’ll be our first call next time we plan on going out of town!”

“Katelyn is one of the most trustworthy people I have ever met. She has house sat for us which included taking care of our 7 year old Great Dane and 11 month old Golden Retriever. She followed every instruction given and kept in communication with us throughout our trip. She was extremely respectful to our home and left it in better condition than we had left it. It was very important to us to have our pets stay in the comfort of our own home, as boarding kennels can be stressful. Being able to have Katelyn stay at our home at an affordable rate gave us so much peace of mind. She loved our animals like her own and we will most definitely be using and recommending her services again in the future!”

About: Hi, my name is Shaima and I’ve had dogs my whole life! Big and small, to fluffy or almost hairless. I’ve been training my own dogs since the young age of 10, with the help of dog training tv shows! Also, I’ve been dog sitting my sisters two beautiful pit bulls for years, as she’s an avid traveler. I’m always up for whatever your dogs want to do! They want to play fetch? Awesome. Want to go for a walk? Be my guest. Nap time? You can never take too many naps. I’m sure I can give your special little pup the most love and attention. I never met a dog I didn’t love! I hope you will pick me to care for your beloved four legged friends.
“Priscilla did a great job with our high energy puppy! She listened to all of our concerns and took great care of her and her needs while we were away. We would recommend her services and use her again!”

“Our two pups liked Kimberly from the moment she walked thru the front door. We felt very comfortable having her at our home. When we returned the dogs were happy and our home was spotless. Very pleased”

“Christina was very professional from the start with the meet and greet. She kept the house clean and left it in better shape than when I left. My boys looked so happy with her in the pictures she sent so I knew they were being well taken care of.”

“Karla is amazing! I am so thankful we found someone we can trust to stay at our home and watch our dog when we travel. She sends picture updates, is great with communication, spoils our girl while we are gone, and keeps our home fresh for when we return! Highly recommend her 😊”

“We had such a great experience with Victoria! She did an amazing job taking care of our girls — they were so happy, calm, and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. She communicated extremely well the entire time, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. On top of that, she left the house spotless and super clean, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Amazing experience with Vicki!! Her communication was great, she was patient & sweet with my 3 crazy dogs, and left our house cleaner than we left it. Thank you ? would definitely recommend!”

About: With over 7 years of experience caring for pets, I’ve handled everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. My care includes walks, feeding, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, giving medications, and plenty of affection. I treat every animal like family—keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, professional, and always bring a positive, happy energy to every visit. I work a few days a week at a local café but always get off in the early afternoon, giving me plenty of time for walks, play, and just hanging out with your pets. I never work late nights, so I can be fully present to make sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I help pets feel safe and build trust by coming to their home and keeping their environment calm, familiar, and consistent. I follow their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel secure and comfortable. I approach every pet gently, letting them come to me at their own pace, and offer plenty of positive reinforcement like treats, praise, and cuddles when appropriate. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, relaxed, and confident while their owners are away.
“I can’t say enough good things about Courtney. She took such great care of our dogs and was so communicative. I can tell that my dogs really loved her and she genuinely loved spending time with them. Highly recommend ☺️”

“Kendra was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our house and our little man, Mr Bananas. We would 100% recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a wonderful person to look after their loved ones. We look forward to working with you in the future!”

“Abagail was wonderful! She took such great care of our senior dogs and was very respectful of our home. I will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone! You're awesome, Abbie! We cannot thank you enough!”

About: About Me: Hi, I’m Shauna, a dedicated dog lover from the Willow Glen neighborhood in Kalispell! I live on a spacious 1.26 acre of land with a securely fenced backyard, ideal for dogs to run, play, and relax. My 8-year-old Chihuahua and my mom’s 10-year-old Yorkie are my furry sidekicks, and I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing home-away-from-home experience for your pup. Inspired by countless hours of César Millan’s Dog Whisperer, I use his positive techniques to encourage balanced behaviors and gently redirect unwanted ones with healthy rules, boundaries and limitations. I’m experienced with dogs’ needs, from managing separation anxiety to maintaining feeding routines to administering medications. My pet-proofed home has no toxic plants, and I offer a cozy space for naps and play. I can send daily photo and video updates to keep you connected. As a background-checked sitter, I prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. Whether it’s kennel-free dog boarding, walking, or house sitting in Kalispell, I’m here to give your dog tailored care. Contact me to discuss your pup’s needs and arrange a meet-and-greet! Services: Boarding (Limited Basis): $80/night (includes lots of supervised playtime outside, feeding and cuddles). Drop-In Visits: $25/30-minute visit (feeding, potty breaks, playtime). House Sitting: $75/night (care in your home for 1 house pet. Cost for additional pets negotiable). Dog Walking: $25/30-minute walk (1–2 dogs). Daycare: $45/day (drop-off care for small/medium/large dogs up to 9 hours. Overtime rate $20/hr.) Experience: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, like Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, German Pointers, English Pointers, German Shepherds, Labs, lovable mutts, cats and even horses, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I apply César Millan’s techniques to maintain calm, balanced behaviors and ensure a happy stay. I’m comfortable with special diets and reinforcing training. Availability: See schedule for availability. Boarding available on weekends and select weekdays (book early for holidays). Drop-ins, walks, and daycare offered Monday–Friday, 6 AM–9 PM. House sitting by request. Safety: My acre of land features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed for safety. I send daily updates and follow your pup’s routine to keep them comfortable. My mom and 23 year old son, both avid dog lovers, live with me and will be here for those short times I have to be away. I'm currently working part time and the calendar will reflect my availability. When I am pet-sitting in my home, my mom and 23 year old son who both live with me, will be available if I need to go to an appointment. As I mentioned in my bio, my 1.26-acre property features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed with no toxic plants. I send daily updates via text and follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and safe, kennel-free for comfort.

We exercise daily and they can go in and out of house as needed. We have a fenced backyard for play and dog toys. I set up a cozy spot for the dog usually with dog bed. I make sure theyre comfortable and have attention and lots of pets.
“Jennifer was great! Helped me out super last minute after another dog sitter cancelled on us 11pm the day before we left out of town! She was super quick to respond and found the time to meet Ryder beforehand. She even made sure to be back later that day when we were leaving just to calm our nerves about a new dog sitter. She communicates well and sent me a few pics / vids. It is always nerve wrecking as a pittie owner to leave him in new hands but I’m glad it worked out! Ryder was three weeks post surgery so she had to administer some medication and had no issues. This also meant we needed someone who would stay overnight in our home and share a bed with Ryder, all of which she did. I would use her again for sure next time I have an out of town situation!”
