Dog Walkers in Big Arm, MT

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.

“I was so sad to leave Gunther and so worried, as I’ve never left him before for this long. Sheri has allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank god I decided to do this. He loves her! She sends me daily reports and pictures which mean the world to me. Again, I can relax and enjoy my vacation.”

About: I grew up surrounded by the lively atmosphere of farms, where I had the pleasure of interacting with a diverse array of animals, including both working and non-working dogs. This upbringing exposed me to a wide range of dog breeds and ages, allowing me to develop skills in training puppies and providing additional care and affection to those in need. Cats have also held a special place in my heart, and my passion for their well-being has led me to volunteer at pet shelters, where I've dedicated my time to walking, grooming, and ensuring the happiness of our furry friends. My belief is that our beloved pets deserve the utmost care and joy in their lives, which is why I'm here to offer my assistance. In caring for my own canine companion, we embark on numerous adventures together, from invigorating hikes and leisurely walks to exhilarating bike rides. His presence accompanies me everywhere, creating cherished memories and strengthening our bond. A profound realization that a single day in our lives equates to a week in a dog's life has deeply influenced my perspective, inspiring me to make a positive impact in the lives of animals. My experience extends to providing senior care for both dogs and cats, encompassing tasks such as administering diabetic medication, changing post-surgery bandages, applying ointments, trimming nails, cleaning ears, grooming, and facilitating medication administration. Furthermore, my training includes dog CPR, ensuring that I am equipped to handle any unexpected situations with proficiency and care. Allow me the privilege of caring for your beloved pets with compassion, expertise, and a genuine love for animals! 🐾 --- Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to read my message.

Whether it's early mornings, late evenings, or weekends, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs seamlessly. I have extensive experience in pet care, ensuring that your furbabies receive the best possible attention and love. From daily walks and playtime to administering medications and special care for senior pets, I am equipped to handle a wide range of responsibilities. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for in your absence. Additionally, I believe in maintaining open communication with pet owners.

I have about 5 acres with plenty of room for your pets to play and explore. Additionally, I live near a dog park, which I am happy to visit if you feel comfortable with that. I recently experienced the loss of my beloved Doberman, Onyx, who passed away due to cancer. This has only deepened my commitment to ensuring the well-being of animals in my care. Currently, I have a 9-month-old puppy who is very friendly and gets along well with everyone. She is exceptionally sweet and well-trained, making her a great companion for other pets. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pets and provide them with the same level of love and attention that I give my own. ---
