Dog Walkers in Chestnut, MT

About: I grew up walking my own dog, pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and walking and caring for dogs in a professional setting. I worked as a dog behavior technician from 2022-2023 at Happy Tails Country Club for Dogs in Asheville, NC. I currently work as an outdoor educator! I have experience with basic training techniques using positive reinforcement, such as praise, pets, treats, toys, or other rewarding items. I have helped train dogs to sit, stay, lay down, shake, drop, and other behaviors. I also have experience caring for senior pups, as my own family dog Buddy was diagnosed with dementia and struggled to see; towards the end of his life, our walks together got slower paced and he needed more patience and support. Buddy passed away in 2024 and I am so grateful I got to have him in my life. I work full time during the week, and I am available on the weekends in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am also available from 6am-11am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. When I am in the client’s home, I ensure that their pet feels safe and comfortable with me. I can let them out into fenced yards, take them on walks, play with them inside and outside, or any other enrichment activities.

About: I grew up on a small farm in Texas surrounded by animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, chickens, goats, pigs, and cattle. From a young age, I was responsible for helping care for animals and spent years showing livestock at my county fair. Those experiences taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and attentive care. Whether your pet has four legs, feathers, or hooves, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and provide the best care possible while you’re away. I currently work full-time in Bozeman Monday through Friday, but my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for morning, lunch-time, and evening visits and can easily work pet care into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, feeding, medication, or some extra attention throughout the day, I’m committed to providing reliable and consistent care. While I cannot accommodate pets in my home, I am happy to care for your pets in theirs. I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care. Let me know your expectations, and I’ll do my best to meet or exceed them. If your pet enjoys walks, exercise, or outdoor adventures, I’d be happy to help! I love staying active and can also provide transportation in my vehicle if needed for approved activities, walks, or outings.

“We were delighted to meet Abby, she walked our mini schnauzer for a week. He can be a challenge but she was so understanding and communicative and put us at ease. She is kind, smart and trustworthy and we are so happy to look for her help in the future. She deserves all the stars, I can’t speak highly enough of her. Thank you Abby!”

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!
