House Sitting Batavia

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.

“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 😊”

“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.”

“Havana took great care of Callie Mae. She sent lots of pictures and videos! She was also very easy to communicate with. It’s safe to say Callie Mae would love to spend more time with Havana!”

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.

“So easy to work with and so very kind to our dog recovering from surgery. Followed all of instructions perfectly. Will definite use Kalia again”

“Dita was wonderful from our first meet and greet through the entire stay. She sent us regular updates and photos of Moose and he was well cared for over the 10 days we were gone.”

“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.

“Madison did a wonderful job watching our two dogs and our house while we were on vacation for a week. Dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and the house looked just as we had left it. She was great about keeping in touch and sending pictures too. We would definitely hire her to watch over our pets again.”

About: Hello! My name is Natalie. I am an LVT licensed in Montana, with over 10 years of pet care and animal healthcare experience. I worked as a dog handler in several different kennels before obtaining my degree in Veterinary Technology from Bellingham Technical College, receiving mentorship in a variety of animal hospitals. I now work in veterinary physical rehabilitation and do Rover in my free time! I have experience caring for dogs, cats, pocket pets, and exotics, including those with special needs. I am more than happy to provide your pet with day-to-day specialized care such as administering medications, mobility assistance, or providing care to senior pets who need an extra bit of love. I personally have a cat who is special needs - she is deaf, and has both intestinal lymphoma and cerebellar hypoplasia - so I know it can sometimes be a challenge to find proper care for pets like her! Rest assured that I will provide your babies with the upmost care. I live in Kalispell, and I provide service to Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and surrounding areas. If I appear just out of range, just ask! I may be able to travel to your location for an additional fee depending on the dates. Thank you for reading, I hope that I can meet your sweet furbabies soon! ♡ I work full-time in a veterinary practice, and while I do need to be home for a few hours a day to take care of my kitties, I am able to do overnights and weekends for clients! Walks: I will use leashes, collars and harnesses that are provided by the client. Walks can take place in client's neighborhood, or on surrounding trails if preferred. Cat owners: I have a spare small cat harness if your feline friend enjoys walks! Pet Sitting: Pet sitting will take place at client's home. I will be fully respectful of your house and home, following your pet sitting instructions completely.

About: I grew up my whole life with dogs and trained them as puppies. I like to hike and run with my high intensity dogs, and am good at tiring them out while having a blast! I am currently a student at MSU’s flight school during the school year. But over the summer, I’ve been taking care of my friends and family’s dogs when needed. Since I’m not in school right now, and am only doing flight lessons, I have a pretty open schedule and am excited to meet your dogs! How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer. Since I am in school right now and don’t have my own place, I don’t offer boarding. However, for house sitting and dog walking, I would love to do lots of fun outdoor activities with your dogs, varying on your dogs energy level.

“This was the first time we used a Pet Sitter for our 21 month old Golden Retriever for a lengthy vacation trip and I was very nervous that I would not find the right person. The minute I talked with Sherri, I knew she was the one I would want to take care of our Fur baby. This is Sherri's full-time profession, one that she puts her whole heart into. Not only is she professional, she possesses a lot of knowledge which I learn from her experience. Sherri puts the interests of the pet first and I love knowing she bonds with our pet Remy. They shared many adventures while we were gone plus she aids in furthering his training. We loved seeing the pictures she sent and reading the pet nanny reports. All that mattered to me was that Remy had a full-time, loving companion so it would not traumatize him with us being gone. Sherri stepped in and became one of the family, with Remy having a fun vacation as well with a new friend who loved him and showered him with attention. She was also a wonderful house sitter and everything was immaculate, looking undisturbed upon our return. I so appreciated everything Sherri did for Remy in our absence and future trip planning will be a breeze knowing I have Remy's needs taken care of under Sherri's high standards and quality care.”

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.

“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!!”

About: Growing up, I had dogs of all sizes. They were my best friends and still are to this day. After moving out of my home, I decided to pet sit for family friends and I’ve always treated their animals as if they were my own. From early morning potty breaks to feeding them, walking them and giving so many kisses and snuggles, I always make sure the animals feel safe and comfortable when they are under my care. I want to be their friend as much as they want to be mine. I currently live in Kalispell with my husband and 2 golden retrievers, Otis and Kaiya. I’m currently working Monday to Friday as a nanny. Soon I will be starting my first year of teaching. I would love to add pet care after school and on the weekends if possible. Anything from dog walking to letting them out to go potty. I will follow all instructions from the owner about what the dog can and can’t do in their home. I will adjust to their lifestyle in their environment.

“Jessica was great! She sent us photos and videos while we were away and we were very comfortable leaving our animals in her care. We came back to very happy animals and a clean house. We will definitely have Jessica come back in the future!”
