House Sitting Batavia

“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 😊”

About: I'm 18 years old but I've taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life, cats, dogs, lizards, you name it! I've also had 6 dogs and 1 cat myself, which have all grown up and old in a happy and fun environment! I do not live in a neighborhood, so i have a large fenced yard along with about 4 acres of field to play in, along with a lake near me for hot summer days. Given all of the pets i've taken care of, I have great experience in dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, senior dogs, etc. I am currently a senior in high school at Glacier, however I only have one class that is completely online, so i am home all day everyday! Along with school i work a part-time nanny job in the AM Mondays and Thursdays, but it is super flexible so i can meet your needs. As you can see i have a very open schedule that is easy to work with, and i am home most of my days which is perfect to watch your animals. I'm using my love for animals as a little source of extra income! I have a large fenced and protected yard with an easily accessible dog door on both the top and bottom floor of my home. I do have two of my own fur babies, but they are trained and are used to being around all different types of dogs. However, if your dog/ cat is not good with other dogs and cats I am able to keep them separated by the floors in my house, so that would be no problem.

“Zoei interacted with Kuma from the moment she walked in. Kuma inspected her and approved. They enjoyed a day together and we were able to spend time with friends and horseback ride. If ever passing this way again We would book her.”

About: I’ve always loved learning about and taking care of animals. I have my pups Sam and Winston and my kittens, Olive and Ivy! I’ve done dog walking and house/pet sitting in the past as well. I currently work from home and can provide flexible care to your pets! I do have some pets of my own, but my partner is able to care for them while I am with your pets. I provide lots of attention throughout the day and have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of your fur-babies. Any specific requirements/requests for your pets’ schedule can be accommodated.

“Priscilla did a great job house sitting our 3 dogs. She is obviously experienced and skilled with dog handling, and seems to really enjoy her work. She was flexible about a late schedule change that extended her time. We really appreciated that!”

“Madison was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was super communicative and transparent with her work while watching our dog, which was great! She sent us fun photo updates and Huckleberry looked like she was having a blast. The house was also clean and tidy when we came back! Thanks, Madison!”

Kelly H.

“Sherri was wonderful, like always! She’s watched our 7 fur babies several times now and we can tell they absolutely adore her. We will continue to ask her to sit for us in the future!”

Lauren B.

“Angie took great care of my two dogs! She is very trustworthy and treated them like her own. She is also very flexible when we had a change in plans. I would highly recommend Angie!”

Morgan W.

“Natashia was great with my two pups! One of my dogs is anxious and suspicious of new people, and Natashia was so good at just meeting Rosie where she's at and not pushing too hard. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: About Me Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I lost my beloved dog a year ago, and while I’m not ready to bring another dog into my family yet, I deeply miss having a four-legged companion beside me on my walks and hikes. I already spend a lot of time outside walking and hiking around the Flathead Valley — so I’d love to bring your dog along. I’m a mom, longtime dog owner and animal lover, and I understand that every dog is different. Some dogs need a relaxed sniff-around-the-neighborhood walk. Others need to MOVE. I’m happy doing both. My goal isn’t simply to get your dog outside long enough to check a box. I want them to come home happy, exercised and ready for a very good nap. 🐾 30-Minute Neighborhood Walk — $20 Perfect for a midday break, potty time, fresh air and exercise. We’ll spend the appointment walking in your neighborhood or another appropriate area close to home, with plenty of time to sniff, explore and stretch those legs. I’ll send you an update and photos so you know exactly how your dog did. 🥾 60-Minute Adventure Walk — $38 For dogs who need more than a trip around the block. Depending on your location, your dog’s temperament and fitness, weather and trail conditions, our hour may include a neighborhood power walk or transportation to a nearby dog-friendly trail for a mini hiking adventure. If you live close to places like Lone Pine or another suitable trail, I’m happy to spend part of our hour getting your dog somewhere genuinely fun to explore. Transportation during an Adventure Walk is included within the booked 60 minutes when we agree on a nearby destination in advance. This is especially great for active dogs who need real physical and mental stimulation. My Service Area I intentionally keep my service area relatively small so I’m spending my time with your dog rather than driving all over the valley. If you’re roughly within a 15-minute drive of me, you’re probably within my regular service area. What You Can Expect Your dog’s safety comes first. Before our first walk, I want to know about your dog’s personality, leash behavior, recall, triggers, medical needs, favorite things and anything else that helps me understand them. For trail adventures, I’ll also make sure we’re a good match before heading out together. And yes — expect pictures. ❤️ I know what it’s like to love a dog like a member of your family. When your dog is with me, I’ll treat them that way. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks, longer adventure walks, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m already an active walker and hiker, so getting outside with dogs fits naturally into my routine. I intentionally keep my service area fairly small so I can spend more time caring for your pets and less time driving. I’m available for both regular weekly clients and occasional care when you’re traveling or simply need an extra hand. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For dog walks, I’ll learn about your dog’s leash behavior, temperament, triggers, energy level and any medical or behavioral needs before we head out. For longer Adventure Walks, we can discuss whether your dog is a good fit for a nearby dog-friendly trail and agree on the outing beforehand. I’ll always keep dogs securely leashed unless we have specifically discussed otherwise. For cats and other in-home visits, I carefully follow your feeding, medication, litter and household instructions and make sure doors and windows are secure before I leave. I understand that some pets want lots of attention while others need space and patience, so I let each animal set the pace. Whether I’m taking your dog for a neighborhood walk, heading out for a trail adventure, or spending time with your cat at home, I’ll treat your pet like I would my own and send you photos and updates so you know exactly how they’re doing.

“Emily was so amazing.. from the very beginning! She was such a great communicator, went above and beyond with our cats, making sure they were safe and loved. She sent us regular pics, so we never worried, left our house cleaner than when we left. Emily was our best pet sitter ever. Thank you so much Emily!!”

“Riley responded right away to my request to sit in our home with our puppy. He has separation anxiety and she knew how to handle him. She stopped by a couple of days ahead to learn our routine. She was very responsive and communicated when she would arrive before visiting. We would use Riley again as our sitter”

About: I am an eternal animal lover. Growing up with numerous animals around, I cherish their company and find our mutually beneficial relationships necessary. I have volunteered at Humane Societies, local rescues, professional pet sitting business, daycare, boarding facility and always been a sitter for family/friends/strangers, etc. Well-versed in walks, runs, feeding, bathrooms breaks, overnights, giving medicine, and of course lots of love and attention. I am available and free. I wake up early and am not pursuing a career right now, so plenty of time to dedicate to your beloved furry family. I am empathetic towards animals' emotions and I understand their needs naturally. I communicate well with photo and video updates and people find me a joy to work with. I treat every animal like they are my own family and will always make sure they have the care they want and need. My schedule is being created here and I just moved back. My jobs are always part time and allow me lots of freedom to prioritize what I enjoy (animals and nature). I am very fluid and open and put free time first. Well of course it depends on what is needed for each individual. To be general, I make sure that I am attentive to details in your animals' behavior, changes in their environment to make sure there isn't any problems popping up. Checking their stool, food/water intake, etc. I treat them like they're my friend. I am sensitive to their needs and that usually looks like a welcoming and loving attitude. I treat your home and furry family with love.

“Lea was a wonderful house and dog sitter. She took extra time to get to know my dog before hand and I felt very comfortable having her in my home. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. I will definitely try to book her in the future.”

“Cassiean did a fantastic job taking care of my very timid senior dog. She was great with communication and my home was just as I left it when I returned. Would definitely have her sit again.”

Brenda S.

“Eileen was great with our puppies. 2 young lab pups can be a challenge and she was up for it. She was great with communication and provided lots of pictures to let us know things were safe and sound. Our girls loved her. We will definitely use her again and I would recommend her to others.”

Josh B.

“Christina was great! Very communicative and we felt our pup Copper was in great hands while we were gone. Would definitely recommend as well as reach out in the future the next time we need to! Thanks again!”

About: Ive had a pet my entire life. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats and love them both very much! I know how much care and reassurance I would need trusting a stranger with my pet, so I hope to provide that in anyway possible. My work schedule is generally 8am - 5pm Sunday through Wednesday. I’d be happy to chat about what your pet might need, and how I can accommodate that. I take care of pets the way I’d want someone to take care of my pet. I think it’s important to spend quality time with them and be attentive to their needs always.
