Dog Walking Farviews And Pattee Canyon

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!

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.

“Maisie was awesome with scout! Managing a lively 1 year old lab and returning her happy and exhausted was just what we needed for scout!! And what scout needed!! And maisie is a good communicator, on time, and kind!! The best kind of dog buddy!!”

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

Tricia J.

“Molly is the the best sort of human - communicative, responsible and kind. Winston can be fearful and anxious, and Molly’s patience with him is endless. We feel so relieved she makes room in her busy life to tend to him in our absence. Thank you, Molly!”

About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, I have even helped rescue a few dogs! I have experience in dog and house sitting. I am working part time currently so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I am trying to get 10k steps everyday so being able to walk dogs will make it 100x more enjoyable. I make sure dogs are comfortable with my presence and are able to relax as if they were with their owners still. I make sure to follow instructions that are provided for the best experience possible.

About: If you are looking for an active and fun-loving vacation for your dog(s) while you are out of town, we are just the family to hang with! Not only does our service include a dog friendly home away from home but an active one, and one typically off leash! Just a couple of locals looking to help keep your loved pups happy and well exercised while you are out of town. They will leave here happy and tired. Your doggos would be part of our pack while staying with us. This looks like an almost every day off leash hike or activity; typical 60-90 minutes on nearby trail systems. If staying during the week, dogs may have an infrequent stretch home alone, ALWAYS with access to dog doors to our fenced yard (typically Tuesdays or Wednesday). Our schedule is transparent and would be discussed prior to any booking so everyone is comfortable. The main priority is happy and exercised dogs in this house! We have two large yellow labs, both 8-years-old; brother and sister. Typical lab demeanor, friendly and loyal. Near daily hikes are a priority as everyone is happier when exercised. As mentioned ALWAYS 24-7 access to our fenced yard with dog doors into/out of home. Case-by-case needs 100% available as needed for happy pups!

“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: I have been working at a dog kennel for the past 2 years now, and I absolutely love it! My responsibilities include walking dogs, feeding, cleaning, and administering medication. I feel very comfortable around all kinds of dogs, and I know how to properly work with dogs with different personalities and needs. I work at the dog kennel 3-4 days a week but I am available in the morning, evenings, and overnight if needed. On the days I do not work I am available all day to walk and socialize with pets. I have a trip planned in August, so July and September are more open for me. In my home I have two dogs who are friendly and love company, we also have a big yard and lots of cozy dog beds. I am also available to stay at the pets home since that is usually more comfortable for them. I have house sat many times and dogs are often happier when they are in a familiar space. When I house sit I make sure to maintain a clean and safe environment within the home for the family and for the pets.

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.

“Betsy was great. Very communicative re timing and with visual updates. I would definitely send my pooch hiking with her again.”

Derek G.

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

Kate S.

“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: Ive been fortunate enough to grow up with dogs and cats in the house my whole life! Friends and family have reached out to me for the bulk of my life for house sitting and pet sitting needs. I love the outdoors and find a lot of dogs are the perfect companion to have by your side in the wilderness! Currently only working part time leaving me plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends! I have a lot of spots in town I like to hike at and love bringing dogs along with me. I love spending time just playing and hanging out with animals to keep me busy throughout the day as well! I really try to match the routine of the owners for the pets so they don’t get too stressed out being gone from you! I have animals of my own and know how important it is to want your animals to be in good hands and not having to stress about them not enjoying their time away from you.

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!

“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!”

Nadine D.

“Peter did an amazing job walking our high energy, adolescent dog. He was very attentive about using the same commands and reinforcement of training techniques. I also really appreciated his great communication. The daily pictures and updates made me smile. Walks with Peter were definitely the highlight of my dog's day while we were away. We'll absolutely reach out again in the future. Thank you!”

Natalie M.

“I would highly recommend Ryan as a dog walker. Gus, our 11 month old Bernese Mountain Dog absolutely LOVED Ryan. She was timely, and very pleasant to work with. Gus is 115 lbs and Ryan had no problem managing such a large playful puppy! We will definitely request Ryan next time we need a dog walker or sitter. Kristi”

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with a remote job, giving me plenty of flexibility and free time to spend with your pet. I've been petsitting and housesitting since 2017, so I'm extremely experienced with many different types of animals, and I'd love to meet yours! I also adopted a dog of my own last year—a sweet and friendly Lab puppy named Cheddar. I grew up with a yellow lab and did most of his training work—I'm happy to teach your dog a new trick or reinforce regular training! I also lived with my sister and her dog for five years after college, frequently caring for her dog and house while she was away. After moving out, I fostered a 3-month-old husky/shepherd mix for a month, which was an amazing experience. Before adopting Cheddar, I spent over two and a half years traveling full-time as a housesitter, caring for pets all over the country. My goal is to create a pet care experience where both the pets and owner are happy and comfortable; I prioritize creating a secure and loving environment for your pets. If you would like to see additional references for my petsitting services, please let me know—I am happy to provide them upon request. For housesitting arrangements, I'm happy to provide the following services in addition to pet care: keeping the house clean and tidy, bringing in mail and packages, watering and maintaining plants, etc. As I work remote, I have plenty of time to care for pets and take them on walks at whatever time of day fits their schedule! I have a house with a HUGE fenced yard, and a very friendly pup who loves to play. I live within walking distance to dog parks and trails. For boarding services in my home, I ask that your dog be friendly with other dogs.

About: My family has always had animals and I’ve always enjoyed taking care of them. From dogs to rabbits, I’ve learned how each animal communicates its needs and how to fulfill those needs. I’m currently on summer break from law school so I have plenty of time to fulfill any pet owner’s needs at any time that’s convenient for them. I live in an apartment surrounded by walkways and a trail that runs along the bitterroot river, great for dogs or animals that enjoy walks.
