Dog Walkers in Gallatin Gateway, MT

About: I grew up walking my own dog, pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and walking and caring for dogs in a professional setting. I worked as a dog behavior technician from 2022-2023 at Happy Tails Country Club for Dogs in Asheville, NC. I currently work as an outdoor educator! I have experience with basic training techniques using positive reinforcement, such as praise, pets, treats, toys, or other rewarding items. I have helped train dogs to sit, stay, lay down, shake, drop, and other behaviors. I also have experience caring for senior pups, as my own family dog Buddy was diagnosed with dementia and struggled to see; towards the end of his life, our walks together got slower paced and he needed more patience and support. Buddy passed away in 2024 and I am so grateful I got to have him in my life. I work full time during the week, and I am available on the weekends in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am also available from 6am-11am on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. When I am in the client’s home, I ensure that their pet feels safe and comfortable with me. I can let them out into fenced yards, take them on walks, play with them inside and outside, or any other enrichment activities.

“Excellent communication”

“We were delighted to meet Abby, she walked our mini schnauzer for a week. He can be a challenge but she was so understanding and communicative and put us at ease. She is kind, smart and trustworthy and we are so happy to look for her help in the future. She deserves all the stars, I can’t speak highly enough of her. Thank you Abby!”

I currently work evenings and bring my our dog out for walks all the time during the day. I love taking him to the dog park and hiking and have room to bring others with me. I mostly take my dog to the dog park and leash him when I take him hiking. I would be able to bring another dog with us when we adventure.

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 am a full time student and I am on the golf team so managing practice time around the pet is important but very easy to work around. I go on daily walks with my new puppy. He’s a border collie mix.

I put pet parents’ minds at ease by treating homes with respect, sending text, photo, or video updates and providing notes on behavior, moods, and activities.

About: Hello! I am a lover of all animals, from birds to dogs to cats to hamsters. I grew up with a dog and also raised fish, hamsters, snakes, and frogs. I currently own two cats, but have hopes of one day owning a dog or two in the future! I have had experience walking dogs for about five years at a part time capacity. I want to ensure that your dogs are taken care of and have all the time they need outside. Whether it be a run, a walk, a spin around the neighborhood, I hope I can give your dog the attention, play time, and love they need. Thank you! I am looking for jobs for the summer so I am mostly available throughout the week! I prefer weekdays, but can accommodate as needed. I enjoy spending time with animals so will make this a priority in my day-to-day. I live in an apartment complex with plenty of grassy fields. However my apartment is quite small and I have two cats, so I can't keep large dogs at my apartment.

“Bekah was an awesome sitter! We were in a last minute bind while we were travelling to Big Sky for the holidays and Bekah was super flexible and able to accommodate us while we took a day trip to Yellowstone. She was very communicative and even able to come over the day we booked her for a meet and greet which really put our minds at ease. I highly recommend her! Thanks Bekah!”

“Evelyn is a great! I really appreciated her communication. It's clear, she is comfortable with animals and I trust her to advocate for pets and their needs. I feel at ease when my dogo is in her care!”

About: I was raised around several puppies as a kid. My family had 5 springer spaniels and I was often left at home to take care of them. As I grew older I developed a huge passion for taking care of other dogs. I have sat and watched several breeds from Vizlas to English Spaniels. I am very good at dealing with puppies and senior dogs alike. Your dogs comfort and safety is my top priority! I do currently work full time but I’m usually available in the early-mid morning and evenings. I am always willing to stay over at your place and I do get several days off where I work. I like to always meet the owner and ensure the dog and I are a match. I like to go over all specific instructions and write them down. If I’m dog sitting in your house I am usually always there outside of leaving for work. I will ensure your dog is in the house with access to a fenced yard or I will crate them if you wish. Before leaving I always ensure your dog has fresh water and food and when I return I always make sure to feed them right away and water them. If they’ve been in a kennel all day I like to let them out to play outside.

About: I've had dogs the last 10 years. We have a high energy Brittany Spaniel who loves to play and is great with other dogs. We love to hike and bike. Willing to pick up dogs around Gallatin County and take to hike or the dog park. My schedule is flexible to accommodate mid-day breaks to take the dogs out. The dogs can play in the yard and I take all my dogs out on the trails to hike or bike off leash. Our yard is unfenced so your dog is welcome to play outside with our dog and we will keep an eye on them, but they must be able to listen and come back when called.

About: Although I have more experience with cats, I have dog sat and walked for my grandparents off and on throughout the years. I have cared for both large and small dogs, but have more experience with younger dogs in general. I would be happy to learn how to care for an older pet. I am currently working part time, so I have some spare time for walks. I have a spacious vehicle for transporting big dogs, and live in a great neighborhood with lots of trails. I would always be sure to ask about your pets' habits, such as what they do and don't like, where their toys are, places they like to hide, and so on. I'd also make note of any rules you may have for them, like staying off furniture. I am house sitting at the moment, so I wouldn't be able to board your pet.
