Dog Walking Busch

About: I am a current senior at Montana State and work at the hospital part-time. I have been pet sitting for family and friends for about 5 years now and love animals. While most my experience is with dog and puppies, I am open to cat sitting as well. I am available for house sitting, walks, or even drop-in visits. I would love to chat more so please reach out if you are interested in having me care for your animals! Pet care is a part-time job for me, as I am also a college student and work part-time at the hospital. I make my own work schedule, so if you reach out to me in advance I can make more availability if necessary for your pets. I am available evenings and weekends! I care for pets in my client's home, as my residence does not allow animals. I am available for overnight care, drop-in visits, and daily outings. Reach out to me if you are interested in learning more about my services!

“Savannah was incredible! She showed up on time and spent extra time on her walk with Layka. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future. In her meet and greet (introduction) she asked very pointed questions and had a great follow up. She treats your pet like her own and shows you right away that she cares about your animal.”

“Abby is very personable and easy to connect with. These qualities make for a great walker especially when it comes to hiring strangers to walk your fur baby. She’s been great with my (very territorial) 5 year old Aussie shepherd and I wish I’d found her sooner!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds of different breeds, ages, temperaments, energy levels, sizes, and needs. Whether in my own home, or in the homes of family and friends, I've been trusted to look after multiple dogs at a time. I've trained my own dogs since puppies, and feel confident in my ability to train your pets whether it be trick, basic obedience, or even potty training. I also have lots of experience walking large dogs with lots of energy that struggle to walk on leash. I am currently a student at MSU with plenty of time to check in on, take care of, walk, and love on your furry friends daily. I've spent two summers working at the Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter taking care of and loving on the pets before they found their forever homes. I've been helping raise dogs since I was 10, and I've worked with professional trainers. I care deeply for all animals and would love to work with your pets and love on them. I have an unfenced but open backyard with two friendly dogs in my own home of different energy levels to match your pet's energy and playing types. We love going for walks of all different lengths during the day, and go on lots of outings to both individual dog parks and group parks. My focus is on fulfilling your pets needs and mentally stimulating them, not just tiring them out. Whatever that means for your pet, I can make it work.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medication, or simply providing companionship. I’m patient, dependable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away, and I’ll always provide attentive care, plenty of love, and updates so you can have peace of mind. I am currently a student at Montana State University, and my class schedule is very flexible, with classes lasting no more than two hours at a time. This allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I am also an active member of a sorority at Montana State. My sorority commitments are typically just 1–2 hours each week, and I plan my schedule carefully to ensure they never interfere with providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being will always be my top priority. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the same respect I would my own. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I always make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and in good hands.

“Samantha responded timely to my request and took care of Arty well! She updated me on everything and sent lots of pictures of updates. I’d love to have her walk Arty again!”

About: Like many pet lovers, I grew up with dogs: shar peis and miniature schnauzers. As an adult, I adopted a rescue puppy from Ecuador and brought him home to Montana. He was the most wonderfully behaved, well-adjusted companion and passed away in 2020. A couple of years later, I adopted a puppy from the Blackfeet Reservation. He's a cattle dog, german shephard, husky, labrador, etc., mix and 65 pounds. I trained him extensively and jumped into nose work with him! He's Amazing! He is currently living in Hawaii with my partner, who grew up training service dogs with his family. I've lived with many senior dogs and feel comfortable caring for puppies. I currently have a flexible schedule and can spend a lot of quality time with your dog. I'm happy to bring your pet with me on errands and include them in my routines. Depending on what your pup is used to, I can be flexible, keeping to their routine as well. I cannot offer to care for pets in my current rental. Time spent at my client's home will depend on the dog's needs, and the time of year (holiday, etc). There's situational flexibility. I prefer to do a meet and greet before accepting new house-sitting requests.

“Olivia was punctual and very communicative! Ruby had a wonderful walk and could tell she got a ton of exercise and was ready for a nap! I will be using Olivia again for more walks and house sitting, highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I am a 21-year-old, full time, college student, studying interior design! I am a lover of all animals. I have 3 of my own - a golden retriever, cockapoo, and then a cat. I have done pet sitting for about two years with a few different families. I can do overnight or check ins during the day! Please reach out with any questions! :) I am currently working M-F at Monteriors in four corners. Typically my hours are 8:30-5/5:30! I have weekends off. I love walks, especially when the weather is nice so those are on the list of things to do while I care for your pet! I can do overnight stays or check-ins/feeding while you are out of town! Ensuring your pet's safety and happiness is always my top priority! Throughout their time in my care, I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages. As your pet's caregiver, I'll ensure they receive the same level of love and attention they would from you, including plenty of snuggles, playtime, and outdoor adventures like walks, hikes, and, weather permitting, swimming!

About: I have had high energy dogs mostly heelers and love to take them outside for adventures. It helps me bond with them and teach them to be social. I currently work evenings and bring my our dog out for walks all the time during the day. I love taking him to the dog park and hiking and have room to bring others with me. I mostly take my dog to the dog park and leash him when I take him hiking. I would be able to bring another dog with us when we adventure.

“Leigha arrived on time and was friendly and patient with our high energy pup! Highly recommend 😊”

“Charles was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time using Rover, and he made me feel very comfortable. He was also highly communicative, flexible, and clearly LOVES dogs. I would highly recommend him!”

About: Hi! I’m Tara — a lifelong animal lover with a heart for senior pets, pups with special needs, and those with unique quirks. I’ve been living and working with dogs (and cats!) my whole life, and I’ve built some wonderful relationships on Rover always treating every pet like family. Located near the Bozeman airport, my home is an animal-friendly haven with cozy bedrooms, a large fenced yard for playtime, and two friendly resident pups, Oliver and Bailey, who love making new friends. I’m experienced with training, medication routines, and giving pets the extra patience and TLC they need to feel safe and happy. *Please enquire about extended stay or regular client discounts.* Whether your pet needs a comfy place to stay or just a little extra attention, I’ve got you covered — with love, play, and peace of mind. 🐶🐱💕 I am open to last minute plans, one time, as well as having regular guests. * Doggy Day Care is a 12 hour window from 7 am to 7pm, if you need longer daycare we can possibly modify for up to an additional 3 hours ( please enquire.) Naturally, all pets get treated like family. Whether at my home, or a clients home, everyone gets the attention and care they deserve. The innocent, precious nature of animals, especially one that is a part of a family holds an immeasurable value.

“Nicole exceeded our expectations. She arrived each day when we needed her to. Most importantly she faced some challenging winter conditions to reach our house and she never backed down. Awesome woman- will use her again for sure.”
