Dog Walking Bonner Junction

About: I’ve been dog sitting for as long as I can remember. I love all dogs big or small and appreciate getting to know a dogs personality. I have a flexible schedule so I am able to do drop ins frequently. I enjoy spending time with animals if you need longer visits as well. I like to be very respectful and considerate when coming into peoples homes. Respecting someone’s space is important to me personally. Also respecting the animal and their needs and boundaries is also very important to me.

About: I’ve always grown up in a household with pets. From dogs and cats, to rodents and reptiles. For small animals or reptile requests, please message me to discuss pricing! I’ve created special bonds with each and every animal, and always love meeting new little friends while i’m out and about. I’ve dealt with special needs from pets such as medications for allergies, anxiety and fear, reactivity, and more. I also spent about a year working in a local pet store where I learned in depth about pet nutrition and supplements, as well as just the basic reasons as to why animals do what they do. I now work at a local animal shelter, so I am experienced working alongside a variety of temperaments, social ability, and sizes! I work full time, but am happy to take on any additional duties outside or around my working schedule. I currently work a set schedule, so I can reliably be available at the same times of day for your pets. I’m available before and after work most days, so if your animal is used to a typical 9-5 lifestyle, we will be a good match. While I’m traveling to your home to meet your fur babies, I’m happy to accommodate whatever you request! One of my pups at home has many special needs and requirements, so I am used to the more hands-on style of pet parenting. Both of my dogs are 50+ lbs, so I am used to large dogs, though I work alongside many small pets in my line of work as well. At my job I routinely work with veterinarians, so I am comfortable administering medications of many kinds. I also have two crested geckos at home that I care for! 🦎 My little lizards have taught me patience, as earning a gecko’s trust is not easy! I vow to be patient and kind working with whatever your pet’s needs may be.

About: Lifelong pet owner with 2 years professional experience as a Veterinary Technician and 3 years working in boarding kennels. Experience includes dogs, cats, horses, reptiles and rodents! I have experience with long term petsitting and geriatric pet care and medication administration, as well as emergency response. I have raised a few dogs and cats (and a horse) of my own and have cared for newborn puppies and kittens and medically sensitive pets. Morning and night feeding schedules are no problem, as well as three times a day medication administration if needed. Dogs who love walks and hikes are always great for me, as I have plenty of time to get out in neighborhoods or longer hikes in the mountains if applicable. I am happy to have dogs off leash in hiking environments once trust is established, if applicable. I am happy to give pets as much attention as needed, including take dogs out on walks or car rides. I am also happy with staying with them overnight if needed. I have experience with handling larger more energetic breeds as well as those who are aggressive and/or territorial. I enjoy caring for social cats who enjoy human contact and need company, but am happy to leave them to their independence if they desire. I have dealt with a variety of emergencies both working at a veterinary clinic and caring for elderly and sensitive pets, and am trained in recognizing concerning health issues in dogs and cats. My cat is my best friend in the world and I do everything I can to make sure she is happy and healthy, so I understand when others always want the best care possible for the animals in their life.

“Great experience! Our puppy got just what he needed - a walk, a bit of a play, and attentive care. We got what we needed - pictures, notice of when the walk started and ended, all of which helps when we cannot be home!”

About: I have s lifetime of experience in pet care. I worked as a vet tech for many years And I have bred, shown and cared for pets my whole life. I Also specialize in horses, cattle and large lifestock as well as dogs and cats. Pet sitting, horse training and horse breeding are my primary full-time jobs. With that said I have full control over my schedule and I’m happy to accommodate most of our pet owner needs. We look forward to having your dog stay with us. All dogs are allowed to have free rein of my house and are taken out to potty and play every few hrs, unless they need more at which we provide that. We pet them, play with them and really make them feel at home. We keep all dogs separate at feeding times. Safety is always # 1 I don't have kennels I have horse stalls that I can put dogs in for short stents of time. They are lined with shavings Most of the time dogs remain with me in the house. I offer a Pick up and drop off as well for an extra fee.

“Kimberly has been so great. She communicates when there are any changes to her schedule and has been reliable. We use her weekly to take care of our fur baby while we are both at work.”

About: I grew up taking care of all sorts of animals, have my own dog, and have cared for friend’s dogs of all ages and breeds for years. I work a regular weekday schedule and have Fridays off, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m also available some weekends for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I take an active and attentive approach to pet care and will make sure your pet(s) get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship during each visit. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine closely, while also keeping an eye out for anything unusual. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away!

“Holly has always gone above and beyond with Mozz! She is very great at communicating and i appreciate the cute pictures and summaries she gives about Mozz. It is comforting to have someone I can trust to help me out when I can’t come home during the work day!”

About: In the past year Ive started volunteering at the Humane Society outside Missoula working with dogs and working on my dog handling skills. Along with basic training skills. Growing up with pet dogs all my life Ive had small and large dogs so Im familiar with both. And understand they they both require different approaches to things as big dogs might like long runs in the feild whereas smaller dogs might like a slower walk around the block. I've also picked up the new hobby of making homemade dog treats for the dogs in my family all the treats are made with organic ingredients like apple sauce, carrots and cinnamon, and sometimes mint to help fight bad breath. In my family we have a dog with a allergy to chicken so I'm pretty familiar with dog allergies and some special needs.

“Very professional and reliable”

“Brian was a lifesaver as we were visiting family in Missoula! He came for a meet and greet and our dogs took to him immediately, we have one who is a little skittish and she laid down at his feet within a few minutes. Brian was dependable, on time, very communicative, sent lots of pictures. Our two pups were very happy! Thanks Brian!”

About: Heyo! My name is Ella and I am in between jobs at the moment, hoping to check out farm gigs in Western Washington, and would love to take care of your pets while I’m here! I've taken care of all kinds of animals, from horses and pigs to chickens and parakeets, and dogs and cats of all different ages and breeds! I love taking dogs on long walks and hikes, playing in the yard or inside, or just giving them the treats and cuddles they deserve! Having my own animals at home, my goal is to make sure that owners know their furry or feathery friends are in good hands when they are away. I'm very flexible, and can pop in any time of the day to make sure they are getting the care they need! I’d be down to house-sit longer term as well if that is a need! This is my only ‘job’ at the moment so I’m pretty flexible! Im very willing to work around any pet /human needs as long as the communication is good! When I am in my clients home, I follow their instructions for care, such as specific feeding and medication schedules, walking routines, play time, behaviors to be aware of, etc. My goal is to make them feel safe and happy in my care.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 large breed dogs. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and many different temperaments, as well as working with reactive dogs on leash. I worked for a short while in the boarding portion of a vet clinic and have experience with overnight care of dogs and cats who needed very specific care such as specific foods and medications. I currently work part time, mostly remote and have flexible hours so I can fit home visits and dog walks pretty easily into my day. I live in Hamilton, so the closer you are to Hamilton the more likely it would be that I could help with short notice. I have a car and am happy to drive your pup to the park. I am usually unavailable on weekends but could most likely make something work Monday through Friday! I cannot have dogs at my house but I am available to come to your house for visits during the day (I need to be home with my own pups overnight) and could spend a few hours there working remotely if they need a little more time together. I would love to get them out for a walk or even short hike as well!
