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.

“Molly communicates well, and she showed great sensitivity to my (slightly difficult) dog's emotional needs. She was prompt and professional. Definitely would hire again.”

“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!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I primarily work with dogs and cats, but I’m happy to care for other animals too! I’ve grown up around animals and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I take pride in giving every pet the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with all life stages—from playful puppies to senior pets—and I’m comfortable working with reactive or selective dogs. I also have experience providing extra care for pets with medical needs and will always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I love being outdoors and enjoy hiking, swimming, and exploring trails with dogs. Having lived in the Missoula area for several years, I’m very familiar with local trail systems and great walking spots. I originally started pet sitting in Wisconsin, where I’m from. Whether your pet needs a fun, active walk or a calm, patient companion, I’m here to help. I’d love to meet you and your pet!

“Kalyn is an excellent dog walker. She is reliable and always communicates well with me. Shel is also gentle with my Sheltie. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m Kayla I’ve been involved with animals my entire life! I have experience working in a doggy daycare with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have 10 years experience working with and caring for horses. I have owned dogs, cats, and small animals through out my entire life! I currently have a dog and a cat. Both of my pets were formerly strays, currently spoiled. I have experience with dog reactive pets too. I am a work from home accountant with an incredibly flexible schedule. I am also in graduate school at DU. I have a dog and cat, integrating another pet(s) into my schedule will not be a challenge. I currently live in a house with a large sectioned yard. I take my dog on at least 3 walks a day and we are a frequent at the dog park. My cat and dog get along great, but the cat tends to avoid new dogs. I am willing to accommodate any needs a clients dog may have.

“Emma was awesome! She was great with my pup and very communicative each time she dropped in to take the dog for a walk.”

“Brianna is such an AMAZING sitter / walker! She has been incredibly reliable, communicative and generous with my pups! She has been available to both overnight with my dogs as well as take them on walks and they have always come home happy and healthy! And they all love her dog too! She takes them on adventures and really cares for them. She is my go-to for trusted pet sitters! I highly recommend her!”

About: I am a responsible individual who will take wonderful care of your pets. I have experience pet sitting for individuals with large and small pets, including dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time outside, so taking your pets on walks and playing with them will help them burn their energy, settle their nerves, and enjoy their time with me. I am home for the summer from college, and I am looking for a job where I can take care of pets and spend time with them. I enjoy pet sitting and being able to take care of animals to hopefully allow them to be more comfortable while the owners are away. From my work over the summer, I am hoping to put my earnings back into my education when I move back to college in the fall. I will care for your pets by being engaged while exercising and playing with them, and keeping them on a leash if/when the pets are outside of the yard. In addition, I will always make sure the animals get their medications if necessary and have ample and suitable water and food for any time they are alone.

About: I was raised around both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to Missoula from Atlanta, I’ve been missing my own family’s pets and am excited to share that love with others. Pet sitting gives me the chance to fill my cup by spending time with animals while also helping families feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for. I work full time, but since my job is fully remote, it’s easy for me to step away throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to give pets the attention they need—whether that’s walks, playtime, or snuggles—without disrupting their routine. Caring for animals fits naturally into my schedule, and I love being able to break up my workday with their company. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine—mealtimes, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I make sure their environment stays safe, clean, and stress-free, while also giving them extra love and attention so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. If caring for pets in my own space, we have a fully fenced in yard and my roommates have a wonderful 2.5 year old dog named Murphy. She’s the best and does great with other dogs!

About: I love spending time with dogs, teaching them new tricks and getting familiar with their personality. Also, my family has adopted up to a total of twelve dogs my whole life, so I can confidently say that I'm qualified for this position. Dogs need attention and my attention is focused on making all dogs happy, as they do for us. Ever since I left my parents house, I started to realize the effect that my parents dogs had on me. Dogs have always been a big part of who I am and I can fully relate with dog owners who consider their dogs as another family member. :) This is my attempt at recreating the connection that has dissipated ever since I left home. Woof!

“Brian was a lifesaver as we were visiting family in Missoula! He came for a meet and greet and our dogs took to him immediately, we have one who is a little skittish and she laid down at his feet within a few minutes. Brian was dependable, on time, very communicative, sent lots of pictures. Our two pups were very happy! Thanks Brian!”

Liz T.

“Brielle was wonderful. I'll definitely choose her next time!”

Kate S.

“This is our first time using Rover and I am now a believer thanks to Sophia! She has been a great communicator, is very punctual, and our pups are always better behaved on the days she visits!”

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!

About: I've had my own pets for over ten years, including a reactive dog so I know all pups need love! I've been the go-to dog and cat sitter for friends and family since I could drive, everything from weekend trips to month long visits, I've always been happy to help! As a pet parent we all know we need extra hands sometimes! I work part time, so although the times might vary based on the day, I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I know how hard it is to leave your furry babies, so I try to make sure that I do my best to quell that anxiety when I can! I've had to leave my pups with friends and loved ones before, so I know that worries of someone outside of your family stopping in. I listen to all boundaries just the same as I would expect a pet sitter to do for me. That's the golden rule: Treats others (and their spaces) how you would want to be treated.
