Doggy Day Care in Columbia Falls

“Highly recommend Whitney! We were nervous at first with leaving Nebby at a Rover that would be watching multiple other dogs, but our worries eased pretty much immediately after arriving. Communication was excellent from first booking, she was upfront about the number and types of dogs she was watching, and was organized and amazing with all of the dogs (they all clearly love her). If you are going to Glacier for the day it also couldn’t be more convenient. Nebby came home both days happy and tired, just like us!”

“My husband and I came to the area to visit Glacier National Park along our cross country roadtrip with our dog, Ozzie. Since dogs are not allowed on any of the trails in Glacier National Park, we looked to find someone to watch our dog for a day while we went hiking. Luckily we found Emily and her sweet family, who were willing to look after him on only a few days notice. They were SO kind and loving to Ozzie and we felt completely at ease having a day at the park knowing he was in great hands. He got to run around with other dogs and had a great time. He was a happy and tired pup at night. I wish we lived closer to Emily and her family so they could look after him again when we need help. :)”

“Very pleased with Lucy, Petal did well.”

“Morgan was a fantastic sitter. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and made Maple feel like part of the family. Thank you, Morgan for taking such great care of our pup!”

About: I offer in home day care and overnight boarding in a calm, loving environment with constant supervision. I’m a huge lover of animals. I've cared for dogs since I was a teenager and have raised three golden retrievers from puppies. My background in behavioral psychology helps me implement positive reinforcement and understand dog behavior. I'm also good at helping anxious dogs feel comfortable and happy. We have a fully fenced yard and a friendly 6 year old Golden Retriever. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs as my last dog lived to 13. Because I homeschool my teen son and work from home, your dog will never be alone. He or she will get a lot of attention, 3 walks a day, playtime in the yard, naps time and potty breaks. Your dog will be treated just like my own, as part of the family. 🐶❤️ I'm a stay at home, home schooling Mom, so I'm home all day. Besides animals and kids, I love to exercise, so I love going for walks and hikes. Your dog gets plenty of exercise and 24/7 attention when they stay with me. I have a pet friendly house with a large fenced in yard. I live with my husband and 14 yr old son who are both amazing with dogs. I also have a 6 year old neutered male golden who loves all dogs. Although my son and husband may be home at times, I will always be the sole caretaker of your pet. I will be the one responsible for all dogs in my care. No one else (including my husband) will have custody or control of your dog during their stay. Your dog will however never be bored or lonely, he or she will have a whole surrogate family. I will walk your dog three times a day and play in the fenced in yard every chance I get. If your dog sleeps over their dog bed will go on the floor at the end of my bed, if they crawl into bed with me thats fine too. I don't crate unless that's your routine and is requested. I truly love dogs and when they stay with me they become part of my family.

“Sophie is so great! She’s been very flexible with my work schedule and takes excellent care of my pup! She has a big yard for him to hang out in and takes him for long walks! Thank you Sophie!!”

Olivia A.

“Olivia and her family were great! Kona loved being at their house and was happy when we left. We will definitely use Olivia in future trips to Kalispell. Thank you!”

“Riley was great with our lab George while we explored the area for the day! She was wonderful to be flexible last minute when we realized I booked the wrong day! Will use again!”

About: I’m a conservative and believe in traditional Christian values. 🇺🇸🙏🏽 I’m working towards going off grid and love to chat with others about how to make that happen and learning the skills to achieve that. Right now I tutor, teach small classes to homeschooling families / groups and I do side gigs (like Uber or babysitting through other platforms etc) for extra cash. I also create digital content. My goal is to at some point work remotely 90% of the time while teaching STEM classes or homeschooling classes occasionally in-person. I did petcare in college. I started taking it more seriously as a way to earn income in 2018. I became very busy often booked out continuously for months at a time the last few years. I love petcare, especially dogs, and feel blessed to be part of this industry. Let’s meet and see if I’m a good match for your family! 🐕‍🦺🐾 My weekly schedule: Mon 10:30-3:30 pm (tutor) 4-8 pm (babysit, flexible on days) Tu 10:30-1 pm (teach) Wed 9-5 pm (babysit) Th 10:30-12:30 pm (tutor) 4-8 pm (babysit, flexible on days) Fri 9-5 pm (babysit) Sat 9-2 pm (babysit) Sun 8-2 pm (church, flexible) ** My classes and tutoring sessions currently varies based on traveling of my clients. As I take on more clients Tuesday’s schedule may change but I will update as needed. ** If you need someone around more on my busier days, an option to consider is both my boyfriend and I could petsit together. He is often home during the times I am not so between the two of us, we could provide more time with your pets for the same price. He's also great with pets, especially large dogs and cats (!) while my specialty is little ones. Don't get me wrong. I love all types of dogs, but I especially adore those chihuahuas! I focus on building a trusting relationship with whatever pet I am watching. It’s important that he / she trust me and that is created through talking to the animal, treats, affection / petting and then leaving the animal alone to adjust to a new person and come to me in his / her own time. I find it very fulfilling to get an anxious dog to “smile” or come out of his / her shell!

“Great dog nanny! Replied right away and took great care of my pup!”

Sarah K.

“Working with Sarah was a pleasure. She was responsive to arrangements and questions. Sarah arrived on time and immediately our dogs both loved her. They were well cared for while we were away from our campsite on a whitewater rafting trip. If you need someone to look after your pups while you hike or raft in Glacier then she’s the person you should choose!”

Rowan W.

“First time leaving Luna with someone on rover, definitely recommend and trust. Super responsive to my text, very helpful last minute. She was able to accommodate picking up my baby early for me to enjoy my day. Received reports when I was away. Definitely trust this app because she made it very smooth. Thank you”

Jacquelin C.

“If it was possible to rate higher than 5 stars, I would. Shannon and her family are absolutely wonderful with our dogs and I don’t worry about a thing when I leave them. They come home happy and completely tuckered out!”

Mary L.

“Chloe was great with our poodle! She got him out on lots of walks and he enjoyed playing with her dog. Would highly recommend!”

About: For my entire life I have had pets and taken care of animals. We have 3 adults who live in our house and someone is always home to love on your family member! I work a 48/96 hour schedule but my husband works from home and the other adult in the house is a college student and is in and out all day. We have 2 acres, half of which is fenced off! My dog's loving having company and so does my 3 year old. I am an avid runner as well so if you have a high energy pet that is well leash trained, I am happy to take them along!

“Great communication 💖”

“Sherri was very professional and an awesome Fur Baby care taker. I felt very at ease leaving my Fur child with her. Wazi has a great time and I will definitely use her again !”

Diane M.

“We were blessed to find Tiffany with availability just one day prior to us needing her services. We were visiting Glacier National Park and traveled in our 5th wheel RV with our 2 Border Collies. We wanted to take some hikes in the park which no dogs are allowed on trails. Tiffany cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She provided photos with updates throughout the day. She has a fenced in backyard, 2 dogs of her own, and had 2 other dogs in her care. All the dogs got along with one another and our fur babies had a fun day which helped us to have a fun day! I highly recommend Tiffany and would use her again! Thank you for the ❤️ loving care. 😁”

With a heart full of love for all our furry friends, I cannot wait to embark on exciting adventures with your beloved canine companion. My journey as a dog walker began years ago when I discovered my deep-rooted connection with animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I quickly realized that spending time with dogs brought me unparalleled joy and fulfillment. From that moment on, I knew that my purpose in life was to provide exceptional care and support to our four-legged friends. When it comes to my dog walking philosophy, I believe in nurturing not only physical well-being but also emotional happiness for our furry pals. My primary goal is to create a safe and stimulating environment where dogs can thrive, explore, and have an absolute ball during our walks together. With an innate understanding of canine behavior, I am adept at tailoring my approach to cater to the unique needs and personalities of each dog I encounter. Whether it's a high-energy pooch who craves a vigorous run in the park or a more mellow companion who prefers a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, I am committed to providing a customized experience that leaves their tail wagging with joy. Safety is my top priority, and you can rest assured that your furry friend will be in capable hands under my care. I am well-versed in canine first aid and CPR, and I maintain a keen eye for potential hazards during our outings. I am also experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that even the most timid or boisterous canines feel secure and comfortable throughout our walks. In addition to the physical exercise aspect, I strongly believe in the power of mental stimulation for dogs. I incorporate engaging activities, such as interactive games and puzzle toys, to keep their minds sharp and active. Whether it's sniffing out hidden treats or practicing basic obedience commands, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to make our time together both fun and mentally enriching. Above all, I strive to build trusting relationships not only with the dogs I walk but also with their human companions. Open and transparent communication is key to providing the best care possible, and I am always available to discuss any concerns, requests, or special instructions you may have. Your dog's well-being and happiness are of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to going the extra mile to ensure their needs are met. So, if you're searching for a dog walker who combines boundless enthusiasm, unwavering dedication, and a genuine love for dogs, look no further!

Together, we'll create pawsome memories that will last a lifetime! I work from anywhere I have mostly answer phone calls for my business. Which gives me time to take care of dogs. Train them and take them on adventures. When it comes to caring for pets in either my home or my client's home, I ensure that their well-being, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. The specific care provided may vary depending on the service I offer, so let's delve into both scenarios: Caring for pets in my home: If I offer services where pets stay with me, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that replicates a home-like atmosphere. Here's how I care for pets in my home: 1. Comfortable accommodations: I provide a cozy space for pets to relax, ensuring they have a comfortable bed or a designated area where they can unwind. 2. Regular feeding and hydration: I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner and make sure fresh water is readily available at all times. Special dietary needs or medication administration will be strictly followed as instructed. 3. Exercise and playtime: I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or enjoying interactive toys, I ensure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require. 4. Regular potty breaks and hygiene: I maintain a consistent bathroom schedule, taking pets outside for potty breaks. I also provide regular grooming, including brushing, bathing, and nail trims, if necessary. 5. Safety and supervision: I create a secure environment, free from potential hazards, and monitor pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I supervise their interactions with other pets, if applicable, to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment. Caring for pets in the client's home: If I offer services where I visit the client's home to care for their pets, my approach revolves around maintaining their routine and surroundings. Here's how I care for pets in their own homes: 1. Adhering to routines: I strive to follow the established routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions for their care. 2. Feeding and medication administration: I ensure pets receive their meals according to the provided schedule and administer any necessary medications as instructed. 3. Exercise and enrichment: I engage pets in physical activities tailored to their needs, whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in interactive play. I also provide mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and positive reinforcement training. 4. Maintaining cleanliness: I keep the pet's living areas clean and tidy, including regular litter box cleaning for cats or ensuring a clean outdoor space for dogs. 5. Security and well-being: I make sure the home is secure during my visits, ensuring doors and windows are properly closed and locked. I also keep a watchful eye for any potential signs of distress or health issues in the pets and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client's home, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in every possible way.
