Pet Sitting in Florence

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a young kid. I have experience with newly born puppies, old dogs, and everything in between. I have fostered dogs for a few weeks at a time and love learning each animals personality! I’m currently working part time so I have a pretty open schedule! I am available on weekends and weekdays for plenty of play time with your animals! I used to clean houses for a living so I am no stranger to finding my way around a home and being around other people’s dogs! I am sure to follow strict instructions and keep your pet safe as if it were my own.

“Having Lexie check in on our kitty while we were away provided such peace of mind. Lexie is dependable, showing for the drop in appointments consistently and timely. She asked questions and provided a high level of care for our kitty who needs medicine placed in her food. I appreciated her thoughtfulness. I definitely recommend Lexie. This was our first time using Rover and we found the experience easy.”

About: I LOVE DOGS! I have been training dogs in some capacity since I was 8 years old and pet/farm sitting for many years. As a licensed veterinary technician since 2011, I have plenty of experience not only caring for your pet but what to do if an emergency were to occur. I worked in an ER clinic for 10 years specifically and am well versed in how to deal with minor to major injuries or illnesses if that were to occur while you were away. We try to keep your pet's schedule the same as yours best we can. With Heidi currently working from home this is much more easily facilitated. Our home has a fenced yard for our own pups, dog friendly environment and no furniture off limits household. We do have one cat but she is good at reading dog energy in a room.

About: I've been fortunate to always have pets in my life, and I currently have a 6 year old black cat named Salem. I've done dog sitting for friends and family in the past, and I've never met a doggo I didn't like. I work remotely as an engineer for a Montana-based company, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for drop in visits and overnight stays. I occasionally have to travel for work, but typically have at least a few weeks notice. Unfortunately unable to care for pets in my own home at this time, but I'm happy to stay overnight in yours if needed. Otherwise, happy to drop in during the day for visits, walks, etc.

“Leah has been an absolute godsend for our Loki! We’ve had her stay at our home while on vacation as well as having her drop in to provide him with much needed stimulation and exercise. He is always worn out and happy! He loves her! I recommend Leah 100%!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, having grown up with them since the age of five. Caring for dogs has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely love giving them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away, knowing their pets would be safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in being attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m now excited to turn this lifelong passion into something fulfilling and rewarding by offering reliable dog-sitting services. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace—and I always strive to create a calm, loving environment. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, secure, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog will return to you just as happy as you make them. I work from home so will have plenty of time to play and give attention to your fur babies. I will make lots of time for playtime, walks and love. I have a fenced in yard or I can keep them crated if you need/want. Just depends on your preference. If you want me to dog sit at your house, I will follow whatever routine you already have with your dogs so they don’t even realize you are gone or mess their routine up too much.

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!

“Melodi did a great job taking care of my kitties! It was nice getting updates and photos while away. Melodi was also very understanding when I had a last-minute schedule change so I really appreciated her flexibility. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and Melodi made it a great experience!”

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong experience with animals and caregiving. I’ve raised pets from a very young age, including rearing and responsibly placing three litters of purebred Springer Spaniel puppies. As a teacher and children’s librarian, I’m patient, attentive, and highly tuned to individual needs. I understand routines, emotional comfort, and the level of love, structure, and care pets deserve to feel safe and happy. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I work four days a week and commute between Stevensville and Hamilton, which makes scheduling drop-ins, walks, and check-ins convenient and easy. I intentionally plan my days to allow time for attentive, unrushed pet care, ensuring each visit is calm, reliable, and focused on your pet’s individual needs. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and rest. I take time to build trust, offer plenty of affection, and watch closely for any changes in behavior or health. I respect your home, communicate clearly with updates, and ensure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Nickolas is great! Definitely recommend.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life- most recently a 5 year old mini bernedoodle who I trained and walk/run with/take care of daily! I love all dogs and strive to be around them as often as possible. I am currently a student at the University of Montana, but my schedule is very flexible and I would be happy to adjust it if needed! I care deeply about my dog and his safety as I would for any other dog. We live on about 25 acres so he has lots of room to run around which he loves.

About: After living on a farm with 7 other dogs, I have experience caring for various types of breeds. I grew up with pitbulls and labs, and have otherwise lived and cared for German shepherds, boxers, retrievers, and mini schnauzers. I love to run, hike, walk, and will happily do any with a furry friend by my side!! I currently have a pitbull mix, and I have trained her since she was a puppy! I have puppy experience as well as experience with older dogs. I currently work from home with a schedule that allows me to complete my work on my own timeline. I have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I love long walks or short ones, depending on what your dog needs. I give a lot of attention to my dog and would love to share some with yours! I keep dogs on leash during walks, and always carry extra bags to keep the neighborhood clean and healthy. I am an avid lifter, so dogs that pull are never a problem!

About: Hi everyone, welcome to my page! 👋🏻 I’ve grown up with my dogs my entire life and recently welcomed a Golden Retriever in my life a year ago! I currently work part-time and in the evenings, so I’m looking to occupy my extra time with house visits or morning/evening walks. I currently work part-time in Missoula, so I’ll have plenty of time on weekdays and mornings/ afternoons to play & walk your pups & cats! If you have an active pup, I always make sure the pup gets exercise whether this is on a nice walk or playing a friendly game of tug-of-war.

About: I provide personalized, loving care for every pet as if they were my own. With a focus on trust, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs, I go beyond just walks and visits—I build real bonds. Whether it’s extra playtime, belly rubs, or sticking to special routines, I ensure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every walk an adventure and every stay a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! Pet care fits into your daily routine by offering flexibility while allowing you to do something you love. You can schedule walks and visits around your personal commitments, ensuring a balance between work and family life. Since pet care often involves morning, midday, and evening visits, it provides structure to your day without being confined to a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Plus, spending time with animals can be both fulfilling and a great way to stay active! I provide a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether in their own home or under my care, I ensure a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I prioritize their well-being by following routines, recognizing signs of stress, and creating a calm atmosphere tailored to their needs. I have a fenced yard as well.

About: I’ve always loved pets and animals and after moving to Missoula am missing the two dogs I had with my younger sister so I’m looking for pets to connect with and care for while I don’t have any of my own. I work for Competitive Timing, a company that runs electronic timing for races and other running events. Because of that, I’m often gone traveling on weekends but during the weekdays I’m free to do whatever it is your pets would need and keep up their normal routine. I try to make the transition as seamless as possible caring for your pets in your home, on their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

“As soon as Grace showed up, Bosco was ready for adventure. She was great with him. She was also a great communicator and flexible. Thank you Grace!”
