Dog Sitting Gallatin Gateway

About: I grew up caring, loving and cuddling with a Golden Retriever and a Dachsund, along with horses, cats and bunnies on our farm. I will go on long walks, play and cuddle with your dog. I had a pit bull and she loved to go to the ENO to hike and swim. If your dog loves that too, I’ll be happy to take them. I have experience with giving medications, caring for ones who have been injured and handling dogs with aggression issues. I love animals so you can have confidence that I will treat your pets with respect and love. I am available 7 days a week. If I am house sitting for you I will also water plants, pick up packages/mail, and any other small tasks you may need. I am excited to meet your dog and find out what their favorite toy, treat, and place to walk will be! Pet care is an intentional and fulfilling part of my daily routine. Even with a full-time schedule, I plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening play sessions. I prioritize consistency, reliability, and quality time with each pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Because I only accept a manageable number of bookings at a time, I’m able to give each pet my full attention without overcommitting. You can count on me to stick to their routines and keep you updated throughout the day. When I care for pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything consistent and stress-free. I stick to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule, and provide updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. I also respect your space and leave your home just as I found it—clean, secure, and well cared for.

“Keely was great! She came by to meet the boys prior to our vacation and checked in regularly letting us know how they were doing. She was kind and attentive and took all our notes in stride. We would definitely recommend!”

About: I have grown up with pets all my life and loved every second of it and wanted to incorporate animals into my life more since moving away. I have cared for many different breeds and sizes of dogs and loved every second of it. I am reliable, punctual and love going to walks or any type of play they want. I ensure your pet’s safety and happiness, as a happy dog is the best sight to see. I am currently an engineering student with classes until 2 pm at the latest. If your pets ever needs an early walk I am open on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays before 11am. Aside from that I am free on weekends whenever needed and I’m always open to last minute walks or anything I could help you with. I will prioritize your pets routine by strictly following any and all care instructions, the more specific the better. When in your home, I ensure everything stays clean and secure. I also love sending photo updates to show you how much fun your pet is having while you’re away! I will answer texts/calls promptly to keep you comfortable and up to date with anything you need.

“As usual, Melissa took great care of Houdini. She always goes above and beyond and gives him extra attention, you can tell he loves her from the pictures. She also watered our plants! Thank you Melissa!”

About: I’ve taken care of all my family’s animals and I volunteer at an animal shelter in my spare time. I know the ins and outs of taking care of animals. I’m working full time right now but I also volunteer at a shelter. I want more time with animals that include dropping by or walking dogs. I will always have eyes on the animal and I will make sure they are protected and being cared for. They will be well fed and treated with lots of love.

About: What started as a simple way to make some extra money with my love for pets has turned into my passion! Your pets will feel loved and cherished in my hands and you can be worry free! I will be taking care of pets full time, including being a dog grooming assistant twice a week, and the rest of the time I will be able to give my full attention to your pet! I am flexible in how you want me to take care of your pet in my home! I will be able to meet any preferences you have! I live in an apartment with no yard, but there are lots of places to go on walks and parks nearby to play!

“Aidan took great care of my pets and sent pictures while I was away. I felt very comfortable knowing she was stopping in and caring for them!”

About: I have been dog sitting for about 5 years, I can manage medications or any needs your dog needs. I have one dog who is super friendly and gets along with any dogs!! I have sat in peoples houses and have kept them in my own. I take my dog on at least one walk a day and would make sure your dog got outside and has lots of play time! I have a dog of my own and I take her on a walk or throw to her daily! I let her out every 3-6 hours, and am available for different schedules! My dog is well trained but I let her on furniture and my bed. I would be willing to adjust based on each dogs needs. I live in the basement of a home and have plenty of room for a crate and some extra paws!

“Matthew was great watching my cats while I was out of town. Excellent communicator - always let me know when he was stopping by so I could have the peace of mind my little dudes were alright.”

About: I regularly dog sit an elderly dog for my family and helped raise that dog from just a few months old. I am very good at tricking dogs take the pills they need for their health, taking on regularly scheduled walks, and catering meals to prevent digestion discomfort and issues. I’m very active, playful, but can also take it slow so I excel with dogs of all age. I’m also the proud father of two guinea pigs, banana and papaya. I’ve also worked for family friends taking care of their horse arena as well as their horses when those friends are feeling ill. I have unlimited hours available at the moment as I have just moved to Bozeman and don’t start school and my new job as a CNA until September 21st. I’m a certified Nursing Assistant, I love working with both people and pets, I am able to shift my type of care needed accordingly. I show up on time or early so that your pet makes it outside on time. I have references available from babysitting experiences, my previous job as a dining room server at an assisted living facility, and neighborhood pet owners.

About: As a veterinary nurse for 3+ years, I have learned a great deal about animal wellbeing and behavior. Each pet is a snowflake, and they all have special quirks about them. My animal care journey first started as a teen working at a dog kennel. This gave me a lot of exposure to different breeds, their eating habits, and some quick, natural fixes to help with digestive issues. I began working in a veterinary hospital in town for a year until I moved to Oregon, where I worked at a mixed animal clinic for 2 years. I recently moved back to Bozeman but still fill my days with veterinary medicine. I’m honored to support pets through some of the hardest days of their life in the most compassionate ways that I can. I am very comfortable taking on dogs and cats with different physical, medical, and social needs. I’m also able to watch pocket pets, goats, sheep, and pigs. As someone who regularly works around pets that are experiencing something outside of their routine, I am deeply passionate about making them as comfortable, and happy as possible! I would love to meet you and your furry (or bald!) companion so you can enjoy that overdue R&R or a quick weekend away! I work full time M-F with Wednesdays off. I am available any reasonable time outside those hours for walks, drop ins, potty breaks, feeding time, etc.! Since I am only accepting drop ins and walks right now, my time spent in your home is pretty limited unless you request otherwise. I take my shoes off when entering, and I return things to their original places (leashes, remaining treats, spare key, etc.). I treat your home as if it were my own!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, etc... since I was very little. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am a graduate nursing student at MSU looking for some extra side gigs! I adore all kinds of animals. I am always happy to go let your pet out or take them for mid-day walks, or watch them overnight for weekends away - just reach out to ask about availability! I love walking, running, and hiking around local trails, adore trips to dog parks, and general play time. I absolutely adore all animals - especially dogs and cats!

“Flicker loved having Jessica come over and keep her company!”

About: Hello! I am a travel nurse in between contracts, always looking a fun way to get out of the house. Being from Montana, I grew up with all sorts of animals, learning how to take care of them through 4H and all our household pets. Layla and I love going to the beach along with hiking and we would really enjoy some more company. Also, I know I hate leaving my pets home alone for too long and I would love to help anyone out with giving their dog babies plenty of attention throughout the day or overnight. Let me know what I can help you with, I look forward to meeting you.

“We had a great experience with Avery! She was very communicative, was great with our cats and did a good job giving one of our cats medication. She took care of my brother’s cats at the same time and we were talking about how great Avery is while enjoying our vacation. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have cared for and have loved all kinds of pets since I was a little girl. I can match your pet’s energy and be just as energetic or as mellow as your pet. I love the outdoors, especially hikes in the summer time. I’ve gotten tips from my dog-obsessed sister with training, and I am here to attend to all of your pet needs. I’m currently working full-time but I am available in the weekday evenings, Friday’s, and weekends to play with your pups! I make time each day for walks, play, and companionship to make sure pets feel cared for and comfortable while their owners are away. I care for pets in their owner’s home by maintaining their typical schedule as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walks, medication instructions, and any special care directions closely so pets feel safe in their home. I also treat each home with respect, keeping everything clean, secure, and providing regular updates so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

About: Having had dogs and cats most of my life, I have had to tend to them when they aren't feeling well, provided medications as directed, and even had to assist older dogs who just need some extra help during their day to day life. Making sure your dog is safe and comfortable in their own home is what's best for them. I start off my day with a cup of coffee and feeding breakfast to my dog. Then I go to work and return after noon to let my dog out and give him an afternoon or evening walk. On weekends, I take my pup for adventures in the park, a walk on Pete's Hill, and some snuggle time. Life is better with pets! I feel it's best to maintain your pet's normal routine, so if that means daily walks, normal feeding and play times, then that's what I do. I always like to know the rules of the house when it comes to your pet, and if a pet owner has a flyer outlining their pet's likes and dislikes, Vet contact, and any medical concerns or needs, this is always helpful just in case of emergencies.

“Paige was awesome! She was knowledgeable and kind. I would definitely ask her to help again with Murphy.”
