House Sitting in Helena West Side

About: I lost my own dogs a few years ago, so now I get my dog fix from other people‘s dogs. I take care of dogs like they are my own “children” which is how I referred to my own dogs. Many people have said I am a dog whisperer because I can get dogs to do things owners are not able to do. As I work full time, I make sure dogs get their daily exercise and lovings. While you are away, your dog(s) will be well taken care of with no worries. During the school year, I work full time from 7:30-4 Monday through Friday. I make sure animals have what they need before I leave for work and meet their needs when I return home. I am not able to come home in the middle of the day. During the summer break, I am available all day as I am not working full time. After learning the routine your animal(s) follow daily, l follow it to make sure they stay safe and healthy. I treat your pet(s) and home like it is my own.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little as we always had at least 2 dogs and a cat in our home. Throughout my life I have taken care of animals of every size, shape, and age! I grew up with boxers and German Shepards, and indoor/outdoor cats. All three of my dogs are medical rescues, so I have vast experience caring for dogs with extra needs. My oldest dog is an 8 year old Corgi/Beagle mix, the middle is a 4 year old Pitbull, and our newest pack member is a 1 year old XL mix. She is an even split of Cane Corso/Ptibull/Rottweiler/Great Dane/ Presa Canerio, so I am well adjusted to very big friends. She came to us with severe mange and eye defects, and now has severe colitis. Her situation has helped me become a pro with medications, injections, and baths! In addition to my own fur babies I have watched over 50 different dogs in my recent years. I come from a large family and within just my immediate family there are 9 dogs! I have cared for freshly born puppies (0 days until they were 8 weeks) and geriatric dogs, as our recently passed dog was 15 years old. I love every animal I meet like they are my own and know how important it is to find the right person to have around your babies. I work in the operating room so I am a medical professional who is completely unfazed by anything dogs could throw at me! Whether it is meds, blood, or their own bodily doings, I can handle it all. I work on a 4 day, 10 hour shift schedule so I have plenty of days to help take care of your babies! On my three days off I have completely availability to make sure I am with them a proper amount of time. In our home our dogs are completely spoiled. They have 2 acres of fenced in land to play on, with a pool, rope tugs on strong trees, and multiple sprinklers to go crazy with. While I will not be offering services at my own home, I will make sure to bring the fun to your pets when I am with them. If they aren’t super into playing, I will make sure to give them all of the love and cuddles they desire! I look forward to meeting them and catering my care to their individual needs. If anything of concern ever happens I will call you immediately and happily provide them the care you see best fit.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I understand that pets are family, so I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect I would my own. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, routine, and needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I'm committed to providing dependable care and peace of mind for both pets and their owners. My career as a traveling nurse allows me to come back to my home town of Helena to spend time with friends & family I don't see as often when I am on contacts around the country. While I am home, I enjoy making a little extra money while doing what I love which is spending time with animals. I care for your animals like I do my own. Treating them like they are my family. I am able to stay overnight to make sure your pet doesn't feel alone while their loved ones are away. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. In a client's home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and comfortable.

“My dogs were disappointed when we got home because they wanted to spend more time with their bestie, Emily. It was so comforting knowing that they were being well cared for while we were gone! The consistent photos and updates were very appreciated!”

“Took great care of our puppies and barn cat so we could get away!”

About: I have cared for pets of my own and for neighbors and friends for years. I am comfortable with different sizes and temperaments. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs, including consistent feeding schedules and medication. I am home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I can provide consisten walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. On walks, I prioritize safety by staying attentive, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure dogs get the exercise and care they need at a pace that is comfortable for them. Caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping routine with animals and keeping the owners updated while they are away.

“Molly was great at communicating and you can tell she loves animals!”

About: I’ve had many animas throughout my life, including horses, dogs, cats and more! I’ve worked at a pet care facility and love giving every animal interactive play! I also enjoy photography! If anyone is looking to get professional photos or even just some nice ones of their pets there’s no extra charge just let me know! I also have cleaning experience! Any home I will be staying at will stay neatly and I will clean upon request with supply’s provided 💜 I’m currently looking to get back into meeting new animals and helping care for your furry friends! I’ve always loved animals and miss working with them at my past job at a local animal facility! I’ve administered meds, followed specific dietary guidelines, and have had experience training dogs! I have personally had animals that prefer to stay separate from other pets and people. This meaning I have experience with different body languages, I have also studied animal behavior to better understand my own pets!

“Lynette took great care of our dog. She checked in and communicated which I really appreciate. She was also able to last minute spend another night with our dog which was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!”

About: As you can see in my photos, I have a GSP. She needs all the exercise and mental stimulation there is. I have plenty experience tiring out a happy dog :) I’m happy to do walks, play in your fenced yard, have fun at a nearby dog park, or go for a swim. If you’re comfortable with my dog joining, great! If not, totally fine too. I am currently available Monday through Friday, all day! I’m there for ya morning, afternoon, and evening. I’m happy to help any way I can. I know what it is like to want the best care for our pets so I’m committed to providing a safe comfortable space and presence for your bestie. I’m a very empathetic individual so I’ll care for your pet like it’s my own :)

“Makenzie was awesome! Sent updates and communication from her was amazing. Followed the dogs schedule perfectly. Would absolutely use her again!”

About: I have had animals in my life ever since I was 4 years old. I've done extensive research on pets and what kind of care they prefer, what kind of diets are healthiest for them, and all the details that bridge the gap between their domestication and their primal instincts. I will provide loving care to dogs, cats, and other small animals like birds, hamsters, rabbits etc, and I will leave your house in just as good, if not better, condition than I found it! I work almost full time, but my schedule at work is very flexible, so I am available on weekdays and weekends. I can take animals on walks if needed, or just be there to feed them and let them out daily. I am very flexible in terms of what services I offer, as it depends on what services you need! I can come and petsit at your house, and I can even spend the night if you just don't want your fluffy friends to get lonely. I can board for certain pets but not all, so it is best to message me directly about what you are looking for!

“Krista is adored by our dog & takes great care of her while we are away. We always know when we come home we are coming home to a happy pup & clean home. She really is the best!!!”

Leslie R.

“Arya obviously had a blast and made a new bestie! With the hurricane and everything happening Oliana was an absolute champ! We will definitely be booking her again soon!”
