About: I've taken care of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, birds) since I was a child. I love spending time with pets of all kinds. I will be near Yellowstone National Park and can assist locals, and visitors with their pets, while on to excursions /tours of the park, running errands, day trips, etc. We recently said goodbye to our 15 year old Golden Retriever, and since I was a full-time pet mom, my schedule is open now to care for your pet. I will be staying near the NE entrance to YNP (Silver Gate) and can commute to locations within the park. I will be able to care for your pet in pet friendly locations.
“I highly recommend Lorraine! She appeared to have a truly great time with our dog and kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos. She took him on several long walks and played with him in the backyard. She cleaned up after herself and left the house spotless. We will definitely be using her again in the future when we go out of town.”

“Brighid exudes calm capabilities and a gentle nature. Our senior pup loved her constant companionship while we were away. She left our home tidy and even washed the sheets and remade the bed she slept in. Who does that! She was quick with communication and sent us feedback during our trip. I’d happily hire her again!!”

“Hilton did a great job taking care of our Piper. He sent daily updates with pictures- which we loved! I arrived home to a content dog and the house was clean and in order. Would definitely recommend Hilton and will be happy to seek him out again for our dog sitting needs.”

“Kristy was great with our 3 dogs. Watching 3 dogs is not easy and Kristy cared for our dogs as if they were her own dogs. I would highly recommend Kristy and would use her again in the near future.”

“Kareena is amazing! I was in town for a couple days and decided last minute to do a day trip to Yellowstone. Kareena responded quickly and was able to accommodate my request, even on short notice. She had excellent communication ahead of and during the visit. She arrived on time and immediately took to my dogs. She was incredibly kind and thorough in asking questions to best care for them. One of my pups is recovering from spinal surgery and has strict postop instructions, Kareena was able to safely care for her and both dogs seemed very happy and comfortable when I got back. I'd absolutely book with her if I'm ever in town again.”

About: Even though dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am fairly new to the animal care world. All I can really say is that I will get along with your companion more than you probably. Animals understand me and I understand them. My goal is to be a shoulder to lean on for your pet. I will give them exercise, loving, treats, or just a warm place to snuggle. What ever your pet needs to get through the day, week, or month until your celebrated return. Like I said before my life purpose is your furry friend. I am working towards being available every day of the week. I find a joy in being with animals so why not make it my full time job. I am really flexible, so let me know what you need and I will most likely be able to make it work. I am open to all clients wishes. My services very depending on what the client needs . I have a vehicle that can fit most if not all species and breeds. Crating your animal will be no problem if desired. I love to play fetch, walk, brush, wrestle, read to, just cuddle. Really what ever your animal needs I am willing to do.
About: I have been a dog lover, my whole life. My daughter, Maggie is actually named after my first dog! We have a three year-old great Dane mix that loves having friends over! If your dog would not love that we also have an outdoor kennel we offer in our home, one on one dog sitting and outdoor kennel stays in the front pasture. Our five horses are on site. We are five minutes from Gardiner at the north entrance to Yellowstone. The next closest kennel is 40 minutes north of us one way. Our property houses for vacation cabin rentals- LittleTrailCreekCabins. I am on site pretty much every day. I may be doing yard work or cleaning one of our vacation rentals. I occasionally will drive to Gardiner or Livingston. We have the outdoor kennel in the front pasture. It has a partial roof and fenced in area. We also have dog treats inside the garage or if your pop would like they are welcome to hang out with me and my dog for the day which could include doing yardwork, going for a walk, going for a ride in the car, or at one of our vacation cabins. I am a retired nurse of 25 years.
