“Kylee provided outstanding care for our dogs, Max, Leo, Saydee, and Wylder, while my girlfriend and I embarked on a two-day hiking trip at Glacier National Park. We were incredibly impressed with her service and highly recommend her as a dog caregiver. From the moment we met Kylee, it was evident that she had a genuine love for animals. She followed our instructions diligently, ensuring our dogs were fed, walked, and given medication on time. Kylee's attention to detail and professionalism were exceptional. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us peace of mind that our furry friends were in good hands. When we returned, our dogs were happy and well-taken care of, which speaks volumes about Kylee's dedication and commitment. We are grateful for her exceptional service and would not hesitate to entrust our dogs to her care again in the future.”

“After using rover for a couple months and going through a few sitters Olivia was hands down the best experience that we have had and most affordable. Olivia was very respectful and responsible when it came to watching our puppy. Can’t thank you enough Olivia!”

“I don’t even know where to start- Stephanie is an absolute gem. She took care of my dogs like they were her own. From the daily updates to the little thoughtful touches, everything was perfect. It’s such a relief to leave your dog with someone you can completely trust—not just to watch them, but to connect with them. When I got back, my dog was happy, calm, and clearly had an amazing time. It honestly felt like they got a little vacation too! If you’re lucky enough to book with Stephanie, do it!”

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs for about 10 years! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pups needing meds and extra love. I'm experienced with anxiety and special care routines, so your dog will feel safe and loved every step of the way. I am free most weekends! I also have a pretty flexible work schedule so I am able to make time to go check on and take care of your pets! I treat every pet like family, whether in my home or yours. I follow their routine closely—meals, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I always keep you updated with photos and messages!

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, daycare, and I’ve dabbled in dog training as well. Over my time dog sitting, I have taken care of puppies and senior care dogs. 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. 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.

About: I will drop in as often as necessary, can make your home look “lived-in”(turning lights off/on, watering flowers, etc), and I will become your dog’s second best friend! I promote pup training and will work hard to reinforce positive behavior, and love trying to teach an old dog new tricks. I have a Newfoundland that I even managed to teach to do a variety of tricks including rolling over! Also, I have had experience with tempermental dogs/puppies that don’t do well with others. I’m available for drop in visits and to take the dog out of the house for walks or trips to the park. I’m available daily before work (7:45am or earlier) as well as after work (6:00pm or later) and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I look forward to spoiling your pup with lots of love, attention, play time, and treats! If you’re looking for someone reliable, flexible, and friendly, then I look forward to meeting your little (or big!) dog. I currently am working full-time, Monday-Thursday, 8:00am-6:00pm. I can drop by after work, or on the weekends. I love spending my free time with animals and am happy to spend quality time with your pet(s)! I provide animals with lots of extra love while their owners are away. I like to provide one-on-one care with the animals and play with them as needed!

“Jami Lynn was so great with our boys! Thanks!!”

About: Hi! I'm Caitlin! I grew up caring for all kinds of critters and training dogs. They are family, and when being cared for by me, will be treated as such. I am available for play and walks weekday mornings and dog sitting almost every night. I love playing fetch, running, tugg of war, or maybe a hike! I do have e a dog of my own so walks can be inclusive of them or not. If I am pet sitting she will be with me. Let's set up a time for everyone to meet! In addition I am also a professional photographer, if you are interested in photos while I am watching your furr baby please let me know! Most importantly I will respect your home and any rules or preferences you have for your pup. Thank you for taking a look at my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family memebers! ~All the best Caitlin~ I am a self employed photographer so when I am not editing or photographing I am free to check on on the Doggos.

About: My best friend as young kid was my dog. Matilda the Australian Shepard was by my side since the age of three as my partner in crime running around our house or yard and growing up my brother and I were always given the responsibility of our pet's care. That ran the gamut as we had a menagerie that required all sorts of different needs from checking the hermit crab's shell, taking our dog to 4-H obedience classes, feeding our parakeets, taking turns monitoring new born pups, and of course all the clean up that comes with having a pet. Taking good care of and being observant of what a pet is telling you has always been a big part of my life. I previously had my own sitting business in college and my clients ranged from a tabby cat that just needed fresh food and water in the mornings to a family of 7 chihuahuas some with special care needs, 3 cats and 2 rabbits. More recently I have had a lot of experience with my own senior dogs, administering medicines, and being mindful of how they move or may need extra time and TLC. I know every pet has their routine that is specific to them and that they rely on so I keep a "care card" on every pet with all the specifics in their care including emergency contact #'s including veterinary information I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule which allows for all sorts of care options for your pet. I can plan ahead for your pet care or feel free to check with me spur of the moment in case something comes up and I will do my best to help out. being mindful of every pet's different needs I think is a big part of safety for everyone. Knowing what makes the pet feel comfortable is very important as just knowing and being mindful that I would be initially a stranger and out of the pet's normal routine from it's family helping them feel safe and cared for will be top of mind for me. I know every pet has their routine that is specific to them and that they rely on so I keep a "care card" on every pet with all the specifics in their care including emergency contact number's including veterinary information

Train them and take them on adventures. When it comes to caring for pets in either my home or my client's home, I ensure that their well-being, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. The specific care provided may vary depending on the service I offer, so let's delve into both scenarios: Caring for pets in my home: If I offer services where pets stay with me, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that replicates a home-like atmosphere. Here's how I care for pets in my home: 1. Comfortable accommodations: I provide a cozy space for pets to relax, ensuring they have a comfortable bed or a designated area where they can unwind. 2. Regular feeding and hydration: I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner and make sure fresh water is readily available at all times. Special dietary needs or medication administration will be strictly followed as instructed. 3. Exercise and playtime: I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or enjoying interactive toys, I ensure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require. 4. Regular potty breaks and hygiene: I maintain a consistent bathroom schedule, taking pets outside for potty breaks. I also provide regular grooming, including brushing, bathing, and nail trims, if necessary. 5. Safety and supervision: I create a secure environment, free from potential hazards, and monitor pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I supervise their interactions with other pets, if applicable, to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment. Caring for pets in the client's home: If I offer services where I visit the client's home to care for their pets, my approach revolves around maintaining their routine and surroundings. Here's how I care for pets in their own homes: 1. Adhering to routines: I strive to follow the established routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions for their care. 2. Feeding and medication administration: I ensure pets receive their meals according to the provided schedule and administer any necessary medications as instructed. 3. Exercise and enrichment: I engage pets in physical activities tailored to their needs, whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in interactive play. I also provide mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and positive reinforcement training. 4. Maintaining cleanliness: I keep the pet's living areas clean and tidy, including regular litter box cleaning for cats or ensuring a clean outdoor space for dogs. 5. Security and well-being: I make sure the home is secure during my visits, ensuring doors and windows are properly closed and locked. I also keep a watchful eye for any potential signs of distress or health issues in the pets and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client's home, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in every possible way.

About: Hi there! My name is Amy, and I started Rover to provide pet care to others, as I would like for mine. I've grown up with animals, and love being a dog owner of 2 labs. My full-time profession is being a School Psychologist, but during the summer I decided to find ways to work with animals more. I believe in positive-based behavioral training, which has worked with training our own puppy this past year. I’m patient, kind, and passionate about treating your animal how I’d want mine to be treated and loved. My husband is a mental health counselor and sometimes will be around if your animal is cared for in my home. He also has the same approaches and beliefs as myself towards our pets. Since I have my summers off, my schedule is very flexible. I have a few river rafting trips and backpacking trips planned, so if I don't respond within the 24 time frame, I'm likely out of service but will get back to you when I'm able to. I also love to take the dogs on my own outside adventures, such as walking or swimming in Flathead lake or in the river. If your dog is being watched at our house, we have a fenced in a yard, but one side of the fencing is only 3 ft. high, so clear communication if your dog likes to escape fencing is appreciated. Your animals are welcome on our furniture and throughout the house. Our 2 labs are both friendly, however, the male (Shreddy- loves to shred sticks) is not fixed and is "overly" friendly if you have a female that is in heat. Most of the time, he's very excited to say hi and plays for 15 minutes, and then will take a nap and do his own thing. Camper, is our 2-year old female lab, and loves to play with any dog for long periods of time if you have a pup that has lots of energy! I believe in communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement for animals. I always will make sure they feel safe, and stay consistent with your training styles and rules. I’m also a very active and engaged person, so I’ll always be loving and attentive towards your pet. Please reach out if you just need a play date at our house, house sitting your pet, or just check-ins and playing with them throughout the day! 🐶🐾🦴 I don't work a consistent job in the summer, so I'm very flexible except when I'm going on trips for a few days at a time. I have a fenced yard for your dog to go in and outside as needed. We also have 2 crates if your dogs prefers it if they stay the night. Animals are welcome on couches and beds if they'd like. 1 side of the fence is only 3 ft. high, so communication is important if your dog likes to escape fences.

“If you are in need of dog care, contact Laurie. She is awesome! I knew I had found the right person to care for my dog upon meeting her. Laurie is professional and caring. She sends messages and pictures, which I appreciate. Your fur baby will be in good care with Laurie. I won’t hesitate to call on her again. ☺️”
