“Lea was wonderful!! She came first for a meet and greet, so she could meet our Ellie and learn some tips for a good visit. She was so nice and reassuring...this is the first time we have ever used a dog sitter/walker. She sent a detailed text of her visit with Ellie, including pictures. Would highly recommend her! ?”

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.

About: Hi, I’m John but people call me Jax! I grew up house and pet sitting for my neighbors who owned lots of domesticated and exotic animals! I’ve watched sugar gliders, parrots, macaws, skunks, raccoons, chinchillas, and dogs of all sizes! I’m experienced, reliable, and ready to make sure your pet is taken care of so you don’t have to worry! I currently work full time at fresh life church in downtown Kalispell from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday! My daily schedule is flexible and I am willing to make trips to let pets out, feed, or just check in on my lunch break! I love a night in with a pet so during the evenings and my day off I am more than available and willing to play, go for walks and keep them company! I live in a small apartment and so I only offer in home services. I am available to stay over with your pet or come by and check in a few times a day!

“Zorair was great and helped with a last minute dog walking request. He sent a lot of photos so I knew my dog was well taken care of”

About: In my lifetime I have been surrounded by animals since birth. Chickens, cows, goats, horses, dogs, cats, and sheep. I’ve always had a strong love for animals. I’ve worked in a vet clinic helping my mom as a vet tech. I have done grooming, worked daycare in daycare facilities, and I’ve dabbled in dog training as well. Over my time dog sitting, I have taken care of puppies and senior care dogs and everything in between. I currently work for a lady dog sitting. I don’t get a whole lot of jobs, So I have a lot of free time for other dog sitting jobs. My dogs get fed a cup in the morning and a cup at night but that does not mean that your dog needs to as well. I will follow any schedule you ask me to follow for your furry friend! I’m also a club volleyball coach so it is really tough for me to be consistently available ones season starts because of traveling tournaments and practices. It starts in November and ends in June. So please just keep in mind that a my day might look available on the calendar but it really depends on what times you want my services. I take my dogs to the dog park as often as I can! They mostly get to go on the weekends. I definitely prefer to take care of animals in my own home just because I do have a group of my own animals but I understand pets being more comfortable in their own homes. When I have meet and greets placed at my house the energy from my dogs are definitely heightened because they are so excited to meet an new friend but ones they get the hellos out of the way the house environment after that is very calm and quiet. We currently live in a single wide mobile home with 3 bed rooms although one of them is designated to my cats 😂 yes they have their own bed room, yes they are spoiled. Point being there is plenty of space for separation if needed and nap times.

“Lauren was great to work with. She sent me multiple updates through out our booking and included pictures of Belle. We arrived home from our trip, to a content dog and you could tell she got a lot of lovin' from Lauren. Lauren was laid back, punctual, trustworthy, and very kind to our furchild. Will book with her again!”

“Sloan took such great care of our pups! Highly recommend.”

“She was great with both our boys! One who is a very energetic golden retriever and one who is a calm sheepdog. She walked both of them and even offered to feed them before she left since we were out of town. Did a great job!”

“Jessica responded quickly to my request for dog walking, and was quick to reply to all my messages. She was friendly, professional, and prompt. When she met my shy rescue dog, it was clear that she had a lot of good experience working with dogs and animals, and that she is a genuine dog lover. My dog warmed to her immediately, where she usually needs some time to get to know someone before trusting them completely. Jessica sent me photos daily, and my husband (who works late) said he could tell that our happy dog had gotten some good exercise and a walk when he got home. I would recommend Jessica without hesitation and will likely request her again in the future.”

“Christina came over as scheduled to walk Zoë while I was out on a long day hike! Will rebook in the future! Thank you Christina :)”
