Pet Sitting in Hamilton

“Victoria did an excellent job taking care of our cats, she sent pics and updates, taking all the stress away from leaving pets while on vacation. I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone, again she did a great job…”

“Amy took very good care of my 2 cats over the holidays. She followed my instructions and persisted with my very shy hider. She even made an extra trip for extenuating circumstances. They were in great spirits when I got home. I would recommend Amy and use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young child. I’ve had small, medium, and large dogs of different breeds in my care over the years. I have two dogs now that I live away from temporarily since my home was lost in a fire. I have a pit bull terrier and a blue heeler who are 7 and 3 years old respectively. I also take care of my mom’s little Pom when I stay with her. I am retired and am looking to taking care of your pets to keep me busy and in the company of some cute fur babies. Since I am retired I have lots of spare time to spend with your pets. I can care for them overnight also as the home I live in is big enough for them. I have a good sized, fenced in yard with no pets of my own right now so they will have my undivided attention. I live in a quiet neighborhood and live near a walking path that is dog friendly. There are also parks nearby that are pet friendly. Overnight sitting is not a problem at all. The home is privately owned so dogs are welcome here. I’m available for in home care also.

About: I was born and raised in the bitterroot valley and have never left! I have house and pet sat since I was 12 and have always loved it. I’ve cared for pets as well as livestock such as chickens, goats, and even horses and a donkey! Aside for animals, I have cared for house plants and gardens. I am happy to clean your house and make it my priority to leave everything better than I found it! I can stay overnight night or perform simple daily checkups. And if all you need is someone to walk the dog (or dogs!) I’d love to take them for a stroll to the park or along a quiet river path! I have always grown up around animals and know that they have needs besides my own. That stated I always have time for morning and evening feedings or walks, and I am also happy to make time in the afternoon if required! At home I start my day making sure the pets and livestock are fed, watered, and comfortable even before myself! Whenever I can I check up on them to make sure all is well. If a fence is broken or a gate ajar I won’t hesitate to fix it!

“Harlow, Heather, and Brian went above & beyond while taking care of my pups and I am so grateful! They took the time to make sure that my dogs felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I am very thankful for their wonderful care and it gives me comfort knowing they are in good hands when I travel! Thank you!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy having them around-- It doesn’t feel like work to me. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog, especially if you don’t want them in a kennel. My home is a calm, comfortable environment where your dog can relax and feel safe. I’m home most of the time right now, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I have my own pets, so I’m used to different personalities and making sure everyone is comfortable. I’m also available for drop-in visits for cats if you prefer they stay in their own home. Your dog will be part of a normal, relaxed home environment while they’re here. I try to keep things low-stress and consistent so they can settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog will be safe here in a fenced-in yard and a calm home environment. Dogs are welcome on most furniture, and if they’re used to sleeping in bed with someone, I’m fine with that too. I always keep dogs on a leash when walking, and I prefer using a harness for extra safety. I understand that every dog has their own personality, and I try to make them feel as comfortable as possible while they’re here.

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: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 large breed dogs. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and many different temperaments, as well as working with reactive dogs on leash. I worked for a short while in the boarding portion of a vet clinic and have experience with overnight care of dogs and cats who needed very specific care such as specific foods and medications. I currently work part time, mostly remote and have flexible hours so I can fit home visits and dog walks pretty easily into my day. I live in Hamilton, so the closer you are to Hamilton the more likely it would be that I could help with short notice. I have a car and am happy to drive your pup to the park. I am usually unavailable on weekends but could most likely make something work Monday through Friday! I cannot have dogs at my house but I am available to come to your house for visits during the day (I need to be home with my own pups overnight) and could spend a few hours there working remotely if they need a little more time together. I would love to get them out for a walk or even short hike as well!

“Mel was amazing with Bodhi and took very good care of our old guy. We are very thankful for her and will turn to her again for our dog care needs!”

About: I have been dogsitting for the past 5 years. I love taking care of animals. I am reliable and flexible. Please reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you! I am a 1st/2nd grade teacher down the Bitterroot! I work Monday-Thursday. I am available Friday, Saturday & Sunday! I would love to take care of some animals on the side. I offer services which would include drop in visits & overnight stays. I also am willing to do some extra cleaning if you are in need.

About: I grew up always surrounded by pets, especially dogs. They’ve always had a special place in my heart. As a young adult, I worked with a boarding and grooming kennel. I learned how to handle different types of dog personalities and keep them happy. Now I’m a proud dog mom myself and spend a large amount of my time with my girl and volunteering at the humane society. I do have a full time job, but always have evening hours, so I am always free in the mornings for walks, potty breaks and check-ins. I have a Pomeranian that I got when she was 8 weeks old and she is my absolute baby. I put a lot of work into properly training her to make sure she didn’t have any bad habits. With that said she is still spoiled on the daily

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.

About: Hello! I’ve been around animals my whole life! My family and I currently have 6 dogs and 2 cats, pigs and 2 horses I’m really active so my dogs are to. I’m currently working full time but would love to do stuff after and before work or dog sit overnight! I’ll make any schedule work for the animals. I’ll check for fenced yard, always make sure trash will be sealed or where the animal can’t get to it and make sure all the doors are shut and locked!

“Nickolas is great! Definitely recommend.”

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.

About: Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of the pets in my family. Bunnies, dogs, cats, fish, gerbils and mice. I’ve given baths, taken dogs on runs, cuddled with kittens, played with bunnies. I’ve had to give medication to animals before. I’m quite active (trail runner) and really open to anything. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I work remote from home as a video editor and I get to decide my own schedule and hours everyday. That means I get to prioritize your pet or home first! I’ve grown up with animals all my life - so I suppose at this point it is just second nature to be around them. I make sure not to leave often, especially in the first 48 hours, so that I can help keep your pets relax as you leave. I try to spend a lot of intentional time with them up front so they get to know me and trust me. I once had to walk a dog 5 times between 10pm and 2am because it was nervous, but by the next day we were best friends. It just takes time and patience.

About: Hi. My name is Kirstan and I am excited that you took the time to look at my profile. I have always loved animals and taking them for walks and coming home to them after a work day. They seem to help me relieve stress and clam me right down. Even though I don't have one for myself due to being in a rental. Experience includes house sitting, dog walking, and extended stays for 3 weeks to over one month. I have watched up to 6 dogs at one time. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday 8-5. I am looking for after work to walk dogs and weekends. I do not work at home. I am flexible nights and weekends. Also can do stay overs. My place doesn't allow animals at this time so I cant offer boarding at my house. I live right now in a duplex which is a rental so iam not able to host any pets at my house due to landlord rules.
