Cat Sitting Chestnut

About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.

About: Hello! I've been dogsitting since I was in college and have a wide range of experiences. From taking care of a single small senior dog to four active working breeds, I'm ready to love your furry friends! I'm currently going back to school to hopefully one day become a veterinarian. I'm taking classes part time at MSU to get ready to apply to vet school! That means that Monday, Wednesday and Friday I'll need to be out of the house from 12:30-5:30. Other than that I'll be with your pets all the time! I'll make sure to put your pets as my top priority! I understand the stress of leaving my pets with other people, so I hope to ease that for you.

About: I grew up in a home with cats, dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and a parakeet, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I take pride in providing attentive, reliable care because I know how important consistency and compassion are for pets. Throughout my life I’ve been responsible for daily feedings and regular cleaning of horse stalls, bird cages, and litter boxes. In high school, I began pet sitting for neighbors’ cats and dogs and gradually expanded to helping other families in my community. I’ve since moved away from my family’s animals and would love the opportunity to continue caring for pets and supporting their owners. I’m committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care for every pet I work with. I choose my own hours at my current job so my schedule is very flexible and I’d be more than happy to make time to care for your pet! I prioritize following each owner’s instructions closely because most pets feel safest when their routine stays consistent while you’re away. I make sure all essentials are met, including regular feeding, fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and bathroom needs. Beyond that, I pay close attention to what each pet needs to feel comfortable and happy, whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles or quiet companionship. I focus on building trust at their pace, respecting their space, and giving affection when they want it so they feel secure and cared for.

About: Owner of two dogs - an Alaskan shepherd and a corgi! Two very different personalities and needs have led me to be very practiced in dog card. I love all creatures big and small and will always treat your pets like my own. I work remotely for a local company so am available all times of the work day. I have a few extracurricular activities for about an hour or so on Wednesdays and Thursdays, otherwise I am open. As a pet owner, I love communication, update, and photos from people who watch my pets and I strive to always do the same. Walks and enrichment time are my forte.

About: As a veterinary nurse for 3+ years, I have learned a great deal about animal wellbeing and behavior. Each pet is a snowflake, and they all have special quirks about them. My animal care journey first started as a teen working at a dog kennel. This gave me a lot of exposure to different breeds, their eating habits, and some quick, natural fixes to help with digestive issues. I began working in a veterinary hospital in town for a year until I moved to Oregon, where I worked at a mixed animal clinic for 2 years. I recently moved back to Bozeman but still fill my days with veterinary medicine. I’m honored to support pets through some of the hardest days of their life in the most compassionate ways that I can. I am very comfortable taking on dogs and cats with different physical, medical, and social needs. I’m also able to watch pocket pets, goats, sheep, and pigs. As someone who regularly works around pets that are experiencing something outside of their routine, I am deeply passionate about making them as comfortable, and happy as possible! I would love to meet you and your furry (or bald!) companion so you can enjoy that overdue R&R or a quick weekend away! I work full time M-F with Wednesdays off. I am available any reasonable time outside those hours for walks, drop ins, potty breaks, feeding time, etc.! Since I am only accepting drop ins and walks right now, my time spent in your home is pretty limited unless you request otherwise. I take my shoes off when entering, and I return things to their original places (leashes, remaining treats, spare key, etc.). I treat your home as if it were my own!

About: I have taken care of all ages of Kittens, Puppies, Cats & Dogs. I am comfortable with dealing with different personalities or needs. I care very much about making sure your pet feels loved & cared for while you are away! I am currently a student at MSU & I usually am only at school for 3-5 hours a day for lectures. When working with pets, I make sure to spend my free time with them to make sure they are cared for! I do not offer services at my personal house. I will come to your house. I like a clean & stress free/easy to understand environment. It is also a requirement that your house is a safe environment for myself & your pets. Communication is a must to create a trusting relationship with your pet/house sitter!

About: I have cared for and have loved all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. I can match your pet’s energy and be just as energetic or as mellow as your pet. I love the outdoors, especially hikes in the summer time. I’ve gotten tips from my dog-obsessed sister with training, and I am here to attend to all of your pet needs. I’m currently working full-time but I am available in the weekday evenings, Friday’s, and weekends to play with your pups! I make time each day for walks, play, and companionship to make sure pets feel cared for and comfortable while their owners are away. I care for pets in their owner’s home by maintaining their typical schedule as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walks, medication instructions, and any special care directions closely so pets feel safe in their home. I also treat each home with respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and providing regular updates so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up my entire life! I love to take care and hangout with them! I also love to go on walks with dogs! I’m currently a student at Montana state university!

About: I’m a dedicated sitter with love for all animals! I have helped my neighbors and family when In need of long or quick care of dogs and cats.

“Lorraine did a great job checking in on my calico cat, Thea while I was away for a week on vacation. Thea got plenty of catnip. Lorraine kept her water, food and litter fresh. Would book again!”

“If you value communication, punctuality, dependability, and interaction between your pets and petsitter, Amy is the perfect choice to rely on while you’re away from home. It’s always been difficult for my wife and me to fully relax while on vacation because we’ve always felt a bit of anxiety being separated from our dog and cats. Our trust in Amy allowed us to have a worry free trip knowing that our family members back home were being well cared for. She earned our trust through providing detailed updates and photos on a regular basis along with thoughtful questions that came to her while during the course of her care for our animals. She was exactly on time for every home visit and often stayed longer than required to fully interact/play with our pets and clean cat boxes and food dishes. We highly recommend Amy to anyone seeking a reliable and professional house/pet sitter and animal caregiver.”
