Dog Walking in Butte

“Janelle’s experience with dogs shone through when she walked my sensitive rescue pup! Highly recommend Janelle for her care and attention to all the little details that set us all up for success. I hope to hire her again in the future!”

“Maryjane was absolutely incredible with Charley! From the moment she met him, her calm, confident energy instantly put him at ease. Charley can be a bit strong on the leash at first, but Maryjane handled him like a pro and clearly knew how to connect with dogs. She took him on some beautiful walks through Butte’s trails, and I could tell he got the exercise, mental stimulation, and affection he craves. I loved the updates and photos—Charley looked like he was having the time of his life. Tail wagging, ears perked, full of that goofy dog smile he only gets when he’s with someone he really likes. Maryjane is thoughtful, punctual, and has a natural way with animals. I would absolutely trust her with Charley again anytime. If you’re in Butte and need a reliable, caring dog walker, don’t hesitate to book her! —Craig C. & Charley 🐾”

About: I have taken care of dogs personally and professionally for more than 15 years. I enjoy hanging out with all the cute doggos and would love to care for your pet while you enjoy a stress free vacation or day away! I’m currently working part-time and am home with my 1 year old kiddo the rest of the week. We have a big, unfenced yard that we enjoy playing in and the dogs have plenty of space to run around! I live on 5 acres and have two other doggos to keep your pet company. The yard is not fully fenced but I do have an underground electric fence collar if your dog has been trained for those. Otherwise, we can do leashed walks. I do have an inside kennel as well if we need to separate any of the dogs.

About: I started out pet sitting around the neighborhood as a kid and teaching the family dogs to climb ladders. I eventually graduated from the Tom Rose School for dog trainers. There I learned how to train and care for aggressive and reactive dogs to shy or overly friendly dogs. I know how to teach all household manors and obedience, tracking, detection, service task, and more. I also know canine first aid. No matter the dog, they're in safe hands. I own a dog training business, I'm home most of the day to play and care for your pets! I tend to be up at 8am and down by 11. I go on daily dog walks and have play sessions at least twice a day. I'm extremely familiar with canine enrichment as well and anything I don't know, I'm sure to do research to figure it out. I have a fenced in yard and 3 friendly (fully vaccinated) boys. All of my dogs can be crated for your comfort while your dog is out or they can play. While out of the crate, whether for play, lounging, or yard time, your dog will be supervised for safety.

About: I've owned pets as long as I can remember and have actively cared for my own since I was 11 years old. At 13, I began house sitting and pet sitting for family and close friends. Around age 20, I worked as a pet care assistant for a major pet retail store for 2 years. After acquiring a Bachelor's of Science in Management and a short switch to retail, I decided I needed to return to my passion. I worked as the sole closing receptionist for a 24hr hybrid emergency/ general practice animal clinic. After almost 4 years of being the first point of contact for many animal emergencies, I decided I wanted to help pets in a different way by becoming a veterinary assistant. I was fortunate enough to find a nonprofit organization that fostered my expansion of veterinary knowledge and animal handling skills for the past 3 years. My current goal is to use this knowledge to help care for local pets and give owners peace of mind while they are away. Animals I've cared for: Dogs (XS-2X), cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, snakes, turtles, tortoises, fish... I currently work part-time at a human healthcare facility, so I will make sure your needs and my availability coincide before agreeing to care for your pet. I will respect your schedule and rules when it comes to your pet and home. I do my best to understand the individual needs of each pet I care for and address them as best as possible in their owners' absence.

“Michael did awesome with Gizmo. My pup seems tired after his walk which is great. Michael was prompt.”

“Omgosh what a wonderful Rover Jackie is!! From the moment we met her at the meet and greet we loved her, super friendly, and very caring. The whole weekend she communicated with us with photos, and informed us on what our little guy was up to. We will definitely use Jackie next year when we are back in town.”

About: I Worked for Wild About Cats Sanctuary in Helena. Worked for Free to Live Sanctuary in Oklahoma. And 2 different animal shelters in central Montana. Pet care fits into my routine weekly. Whether that’s being hired as a pet sitter or when I volunteer to walk dogs at the shelter. Your dog would go on walks/hikes with me and accompany me on my daily endeavors depending on their moods to certain places. I am a very active individual so walking is big in my schedule

About: I have been taking care of dog, cats, and all types of animals since I was about 8 or 9 years old. I was always the one relied on to train puppies, from potty training to little tricks. I believe a rewards based training is the most optimal, as it allows for a closer bond with your pet. I can also bathe and walk your pets. I am currently a part time nanny and mother of two children. I am free during most days and offer walks for up to an hour. I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood, where dogs and cats are always welcome. Plenty of places for a long, or short, walk with parks in walking distance.

About: I grew up with chickens, turkeys, cats, dogs, ferrets... and now I'm an animal care manager. So, I'm not bothered by animals. Maybe a little creeped out by tarantulas. 😬 I have my own dogs, cats, ferrets, a 3 year old... human child 😂 So, my house is always wild and that's how I like it. I have experience with anxious dogs, seizure disorders, degenerative asthma in cats, toothless cats, PICA... I can feed snakes both frozen and live. All in all, I love animals, and I support the people that love them too. **If litter boxes are needing to be scooped please give advanced notice as gloves and mask will be required for health reasons.** Available Sunday 9 am to 9 pm Monday 9am to 9 pm Tuesday through Saturday 9 am to noon for morning checks, dog walks, potty breaks. In my own home my dogs sit on the couch with me, sleep on my bed, and are crated when I am gone. The cats, well, we know how cats are. The dogs have their own fenced in yard, kinda like a dog run. The dogs have their food portioned for breakfast and dinner. They do not spend too long outside if the weather is bad, because they're a bit pampered and are house dogs. Cats, they own the house. The ferrets have a freaking palace. A 3 story critter nation habitat. Plus, they have a play pen that they play in all the time. We play with them on our bed , walk them all the time.
