Dog Walkers in East Missoula, MT

About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets throughout my early teens up to the present. I have taken care of mostly dogs and cats but have cared for lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I have trained my two dogs commands like sit, down, shake and wait. As a sitter/walker I will love spending time with your pets, as I miss my family‘s pets that are in my home town! I am a full time pharmacy student at the University of Montana so my falls and springs are pretty busy with class. However I will always make time to spend time with the pet(s) when I can. I will always try and make time for a daily walk if taking care of dogs and spend time playing with cats. Back at home I have two dogs and a cat. So I know that trash should be securely placed and poop should be picked up regularly in the yard and in public areas. I love my pets at home and show them lots of affection and love and I hope the people watching would do this too.

“Bella and Erik are super nice and helpful, and my dog Oliver took to them immediately. I'm so grateful to have found such lovely people to take care of my pooch at our new home.”

About: College student wanting to care for your pets! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 9 years old and love them all. I’ll cater to your needs. I will be a college student and am looking to dog walk or visit between classes during the week. I will work with you on time and duration. For house pet-sitting I’m flexible to when I am free so reach out and ask about my availability! I respect the home I care for the dogs in and respect the rules set for their pets. I’m attentive to the dogs needs during my stay and make them top priority.

About: Howdy! My name is Emily and I’d love to hang out with your doggo(s)! I was raised in a home where the pets were just another one of the kids! I moved to Missoula about 8 years ago with my now husband (who is from here) to go back to school and return to my familiar roots in the mountain west. Previous to living in Missoula I was a professional dog walker and pet sitter for a company called Woof Walks in Oakland, CA (please feel free to ask me about my off leash adventures!) While I'm no longer working with animals full time, I'd love to continue to provide pet care services. I understand how hard it can be to find a dog sitter, let alone someone you feel comfortable leaving with your beloved pets. Whether I get to spend time with your dog just one time or on a reoccurring basis, I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your animals! I am currently workng remotely from home so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to taking care of your beloved fur babies! When I'm pet sitting, I adjust my day to revolve around you dog(s) and their needs! While I work remotely from my computer, I have flexibility to accommodate any feeding and walking schedules + play time and cuddles in between!

“Jessica is so wonderful! She was so sweet to our pup and gave us updates and pictures from the walk which made us so happy. She was able to help us out on short notice. We definitely recommend her!”

“I’m needed a walker at a short notice and Ryan came to the rescue! She really helped me with the big doggies. Ryan responded very quickly so I wasn’t stressing to get the big boys out before it gets too hot. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve always grown up in a household with pets. From dogs and cats, to rodents and reptiles. I’ve created special bonds with each and every animal, and always love meeting new little friends while i’m out and about. I’ve dealt with special needs from pets such as medications for allergies, anxiety and fear, reactivity, and more. I also spent about a year working in a local pet store where I learned in depth about pet nutrition and supplements, as well as just the basic reasons as to why animals do what they do. I now work at a local animal shelter, so I am experienced working alongside a variety of temperaments, social ability, and sizes! I work full time, but am happy to take on any additional duties outside or around my working schedule. I currently work a set schedule, so I can reliably be available at the same times of day for your pets. While I’m traveling to your home to meet your fur babies, I’m happy to accommodate whatever you request! One of my pups at home has many special needs and requirements, so I am used to the more hands-on style of pet parenting. Both of my dogs are 50+ lbs, so I am used to large dogs, though I work alongside many small pets in my line of work as well. At my job I routinely work with veterinarians, so I am comfortable administering medications of many kinds. I also have two crested geckos at home that I care for! 🦎 My little lizards have taught me patience, as earning a gecko’s trust is not easy! I vow to be patient and kind working with whatever your pet’s needs may be.

“Hanna is amazing! She was on time for the pet check-ins, took grear care of our 4 pets, and sent lots of updates. I don't hesitate to recommend her.”

About: I love animals, they bring a special joy to life that no other can. I have experience with all sorts of animals from large dogs to small rodents and birds. In 2025 I lost my senior dog who lived to be 16! He needed special care for the last few years of life so I am no stranger to strict and detailed care and grooming. I recently lost my job, so my schedule is wide open while I search for a new one! I would love to meet new animal friends and help you out! I am an HR professional, so I am no stranger to details and being professional and courteous to others! I feel every person and being deserves respect and love!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and care I have for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently help care for my two dogs at home, Mila, a Labradoodle-Golden mix, and Poppy, a toy Cavapoo, so I’m very familiar with both high-energy dogs and smaller breeds that need extra attention and patience. I also grew up with our family pug, Gemma, which gave me experience caring for dogs throughout all stages of life. In addition to personal experience, I have worked as a nanny for families whose pets were a big part of the household, caring for dogs ranging from Golden Retrievers to Bull Mastiffs. Through this, I became comfortable managing different temperaments, sizes, routines, and energy levels. I’m extremely dependable, responsible, and attentive, and I always want pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every animal like they are part of my own family!! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a recent graduate from the University of Montana with a degree in Speech-Language Pathology, and while I finish obtaining my clinical observation hours before my lease ends on June 1st, I’m looking for flexible work that I genuinely enjoy. Because my current schedule is very open, I’m able to be extremely flexible and ready to jump in for walks, drop-ins, or short notice help when needed. I spent a lot of time caring for my family’s dogs at home, so adding pet care into my routine feels natural. I love staying active, being outdoors, and giving animals attention, structure, and affection throughout the day. You can rely on me to be dependable, organized, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away! When caring for pets in my home (fenced yard) or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while keeping their normal routine consistent. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and of course lots of affection. I also understand how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog who loves walks and playtime or giving extra patience and comfort to more anxious or shy pets. In a client’s home, I always strive to respect the space, follow instructions carefully, and maintain the pet’s regular routine to reduce stress while their owners are away. I’m very dependable and communicative, and I love sending updates and photos so owners feel reassured their pets are happy and well cared for. Since I’ve cared for dogs ranging from toy breeds to large dogs, I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, sizes, and care needs.

About: I grew up on a small organic farm outside of bozeman, we had a lots of animals growing up and we always had rescue dogs as well. I grew up taking care of cats and bunnies and dogs basically my whole life, I also dog sit consistently for a client in summers. I’m currently a full time student at U of M and my class times are random throughout the day so my schedule works perfectly for pet sitting, dog walking and drop ins anytime. I follow the routine I’m given by the owner and I like to be active so I’ll usually play or take the dog on a walks/hikes if the dog is up for it, otherwise I’ll just stick to the given feeding/exercise schedule and take care of the house and dog or cat like normal and leave everything as I found it.

About: I grew up on a ranch in Eastern Montana where I learned to take care of a large variety of pets. I am a student at the University of Montana and a member of the Griz Dance Team.

About: I work part‑time and have a very flexible weekly routine, which means I’m able to spend extended, consistent time with pets throughout the day. I’m usually home for large stretches of the morning and early afternoon, and I keep my schedule intentionally open so I can prioritize walks, playtime, and companionship. My home is close to town, and I don’t have a long commute or rigid office hours. How I found my first Cat! When I was in middle school; I found my first cat through a local shelter. I was so committed to giving her a safe and loving home that I created a full slideshow explaining how I would care for her and presented it to my parents. That experience taught me responsibility & empathy . Since then, my dedication to helping animals has only grown, and I’m eager to bring that same level of care, initiative, and compassion to a shelter team. Pet care is part of my daily routine; I schedule structured walks, maintain consistent feeding and play times, and provide attentive house‑sitting throughout the week. I’m an extremely outdoors‑focused person; long walks with any animal are my daily reset. In both my home and clients’ homes, I provide dependable, attentive care through structured walking routines and responsible, detail‑oriented house‑sitting.

About: I raised my dog from a puppy, sadly she passed away back in June at the good ol’ age of 16! She was my best friend and a wonderful co-pilot in any situation. I miss her dearly but am not ready for another dog of my own. I thought dog sitting would be a great opportunity until I’m ready to find another best buddy. Near the end of my dogs life she started to have seizures, so I do know what to do in that situation. Aside from that I have worked in a vet clinic in the past and have also been around animals my entire life. I go into work at 8:30am. I work on Connery way behind Home Depot and have an hour lunch, so if a pet isn’t too far away I can go spend time on my lunch. I get off work at 5 and would be with the pet shortly after that. Doggo will be on a leash if we leave the house. I will follow the directions of the owner if there are any specifics or special requests.

I carefully follow all instructions, provide love, exercise, and attention. Pets can stay in my safe apartment with nearby dog parks for play, walks, comfort.

About: I’ve loved and cared about animals ever since i can remember. my family has had many dogs throughout my childhood, and I always loved caring for and training them! As soon as I turned 16 i started working at a boarding facility, where i care for up to a room full of dogs per shift and always made sure they were going on regular potty breaks, give meds if needed, feed and accommodate for pets with special diets, keep water bowls full and play/ interact with dogs of all sizes. I have also cat sit for 3 sphinx cats, who all have specific care requirements and diets. I keep them happy and clean as well as house sit, like washing food bowls and watering plants! Although I’m currently a part time employee and a full time student, I am open to communication for scheduling so I can provide quality services, primarily being drop ins or walks! Although I have a wavering schedule, you can count on quality services of walks and drop in visits, ensuring all your pets needs are met as well as receiving all of the love and attention!
