House Sitting in Big Sky

“I appreciated Alanna’s care for Nakosi. She made everything very easy and her calm personality really helped lessen me and Nakosi’s separation anxiety. I came home to a calm, happy dog.”

About: I grew up on a farm in Upstate New York, taking care of my dogs, chickens, cats, and horses. I've loved animals for a long time, and feel that they provide a much needed therapeutic and calming part of my life. I'm in London doing my Masters at UCL, and would love to be able to spend some time with dogs! As far as house sitting, besides caring for my own animals my whole life, I have done dog sitting for 4 days for a good friend in Boston (where I went to Brandeis University). The dogs I took care of there were older, one had significant arthritis that made it difficult to move. I took them outside to go to the bathroom frequently, and even went swimming with them once! Moreover I have worked as a groom and stable hand at a horse show barn, caring for horses. I really love spending time with animals, especially dogs, because they are so loving and the experience is so rewarding! Since dogs help me to feel good, it's the least I can do to make them feel good and give back. When I was going to school in Boston I also worked as a dog walker for Wag! now and then, and found that I really enjoyed walking dogs as well. I would be a great house sitter, and walker partly because I enjoy spending time with dogs, but also because I know how important it is that animals are cared for and loved. I'm currently working remote and part time, so I have a very flexible schedule to fit in plenty of pet care time and fun! I am able to live and work in different locations for any amount of time. N/A - I can't currently offer pet care at my home, but I am happy to come to you and spend time with your pets wherever their home is.

“Cassie did an awesome job with our dog Jaxon! She stayed with him all day while we explored Yellowstone park and communicated with us and sent us pictures throughout the day. We highly recommend her.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Moving away from CT and to Montana, I miss my furry friends a lot. I love hanging with dogs and going for walks or hikes. I would love to help take care of your pups and hang with them! I work at Outlaw Partners, with a pretty flexible schedule. I can be in office or remote. Our office is also pet-friendly! I can take time around meetings to walk, let out / check-in on your pups. I will keep a close eye on your furry friends. I know Big Sky is pretty “off-leash” friendly but I can keep them on a leash while walking if you prefer. I can also crate them if you need or prefer them to sleep there, although I do love snuggles! Whatever your preferences are, I’m happy to meet them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I really love animals and they love me. I am working part-time usually evenings I can take care of your dog every day mornings or late evenings . We can go for walk or run I have a park about a 5 minute walk from me . Your pet will be in the best care. If they have any medications or behavioral needs please let me know for any safety concerns

About: Hello! I am a 25-year-old PhD student and Teaching Fellow at UNT who loves animals of all sorts. I have a 2-year-old golden retriever named Moab who loves to go on long walks, play outside, and meet new friends. He is my ESA, so he is super well-behaved and friendly, and is great with all people and pets. I moved to Denton in August for school/work, and was living in upstate New York before that, where I was a college running coach and worked as a writing tutor for students. I would love the chance to meet fellow animals lovers in the area, and am super flexible with scheduling. I'm willing to work around you and your needs, so please don't hesitate to ask questions or make requests that aren't on my page. Hope to talk soon!

“Ryan was awesome with our dogs! He stayed over at our home and took great care of them. He gave them lots of love, walks and attention. We even received pictures and videos or our dogs playing. We would definitely ask Ryan to watch our pups for us again in the future.”

About: I’ve lived with, raised and helped care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am retired and with the loss of our own senior dog I have time on my hands. My favorite hiking buddies are the large, four legged variety, preferably off-leash with reliable recall. Let me spoil your dog with attention. I am retired so pet care easily fits into my schedule with advance notice and suitable before hand meeting and planning. I do request dogs are crate trained so I am able to ski for 3-4 hours without concern. I currently have an unfenced yard with significant space between neighbors and access to numerous close local trails. Our home has many dog beds and a crate that can fit a 100lb dog. Dogs with good social skills preferred as I often care for family’s pets as well.

“Abby was amazing with our pup! Our dog is a little shy and skittish at first but warmed up to Abby right away. She stayed at our house for 10 days and took our dog out on walks multiple times a day. We got great updates and the house was spotless when we arrived back home. Thanks so much! I would definitely book with Abby again ☺️”

About: I’ve loved dogs and all animals really my whole life. I currently have one who loves all furry friends. We would love to take care of your buddy while you are away! I currently work from home and have lots of time to care for your furry friend(s) when you are away. I like to get outside and get your pets as much exercise and play time as they need. I have a fenced yard and a large open space where they can run and play while supervised. Having a dog and cat my house is set up for your dog!

“Kelsey was easy to communicate with, sent me lots of photos, and overall took great care of our dog!”

“Carolina and Brandon did great watching our pup and our house! They sent pictures throughout the week taking Slick on walks and chilling on the couch. They also left our house in the same condition we gave it to them in! Highly reccomend!”

About: I grow up with dogs of every kind. Their are the best family members. My family always relied on me to take care of them. I work four days a week in the office, and one at home. I am available every weekend, and holidays to take care of your love one. I live in a two bedroom apartment and I have one very friendly dog. He loves having friends to play and share his toys. We always go for walks to the park around the block.

About: Like many others in this world, my love for animals started as a child. I’ve owned dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, reptiles, amphibians etc. I have always admired the connection between “man” and dog and the loyalty and compassion that comes with it. I unfortunately had to put my dog down recently and so i am hoping that being able to help care for other peoples pups, will allow me the space to help heal this hole in my heart. Having cared for all of my friends and family’s animals over the years, everybody knows they can rely on me to provide the best care and entertainment for their furry friend. I work Mon-Friday 8-5 so i would ideally do best with clients who might work opposite schedules/in the evening or night. I live in Big Sky so i am available to be in most parts of town for pop ins during the day as well depending. I know that allowing a pet care service into your home can likely be a nervous or possibly uneasy experience for some people, however i think it is important to note that my respect goes beyond just that of your pet. I have respect for your space and your routine as well. I do like to leave a “report card” after each visit letting you know how the appointment went and what all we were up to! I take the time and care to understand your animal on a behavioral and emotional level to make them more comfortable in your absence, and yes i’ll likely talk to them throughout my visit in some weird dog voice, i can’t help it.

About: I've taken care of pets for most of my life. Growing up I had birds and fish and since I'm an adult I have had dogs. I also used to foster dogs, that's how I ended up with the love of my life - my dog Shandy. While fostering her, she stole my heart and she became my "foster failure" because I couldn't give her up and instead adopted her. She has been the light of my life but unfortunately I lost her 4 years ago. While I'm not ready for my next companion quite yet I still have Iots of love and cuddles to give and would love to love on yours. I've been taken care of friends and neighbors cats and dogs over the years. While I do work around 35 hours a week I will make time to take care of your pets. I offer walks, drop-ins and overnight and extended stays. Also available for the holidays. I'm available for walks, drop-ins or overnight and extended stays at your place or mine. I will feed, walk and exercise your pet and anything else you may need like administering medication.

“Brittney was wonderful with our two pups! She was very communicative and the dogs loved her. We will be a repeat client. Highly recommended!”

About: I've provided pet care for friends and neighbors for several years, offering a range of services from drop-ins and walks to long-term boarding. I've also cared for special needs animals, including administering medications. I currently work full time but have afternoons and evenings off. I work and live in Big Sky so I am able to provide a break during the day for pets if needed. When caring for pets in my client's home, I strive to maintain their routine and environment to reduce any stress or anxiety. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, taking them for walks, and providing companionship. I also handle any specific needs, such as administering medications or following particular care instructions provided by the owner.

“Thank you! They have never been better cared for and I was at ease leaving them in your care. The updates for me and the attention for them were above and beyond.”
