“Kimberli took great care of our kitty while we were away for the holidays! We loved getting pictures of him everyday and seeing what he was up to :)”

“Lorraine was very responsive in my last minute booking request, and great in making sure my 2 kitties were well taken care of, in a massive snowstorm no less!”

About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life. I have experience taking care of animals with special needs, including those with medications, partial paralysis, hyperactive tendencies, senior animals and babies, both dogs and cats. Safety is a priority for me - I will always triple check harnesses and leashes and make sure that gates and doors are properly latched and locked. Your pet will always be treated with kindness and respect, and, with your permission, I will also offer extra treats to spoil your furry family member when I check in on them or take them for walks. I will often have weekend availability but sometimes weekday mornings as well (namely, Tuesday and Thursday mornings). Fridays I will be available on a rotating basis. I will carefully follow all client instructions to ensure that their pets are safe, healthy, and properly cared for. Animals will always be treated with kindness and respect, and they will receive lots and lots of pets when under my care. For dog-walking services, I routinely re-check leash attachment and recommend puppy parents use harnesses to reduce choking possibilities from pulling against collars. I encourage play and snuggles (though there may be more of one than another depending on the temperament of each pet).

“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.”

“Emma is communicative and did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty while I was away! She gave my girl lots of love and sent detailed daily checks in with pics. I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands ❤️”

About: I’m an auntie to any and all dogs, cats, and unusual pets. In addition to training several family Goldens, I have worked extensively as a musher and handler, training Alaskan Husky sled dogs to run Iditarod. I have experience caring for very active dogs, elderly retirees, and young puppies using positive reinforcement and love. I have a particular soft spot for older dogs in their golden years. My mushing background has given me confidence in canine first aid, pet massage, administering medication and vaccines. I also am a very active trail runner and love to tire out athletic pups! I’m an ultra marathoner, so I can go the distance your dog needs as part of my weekly training runs. I don't have my own pet, so it’s a joy to me to have the opportunity to shower yours with love! I’m a freelance photographer, so I spend much of my time working from home or I can bring my laptop anywhere! I have a flexible schedule so I’m happy to adjust and offer as much last-minute plan accommodation as possible if your plans are not fully set. I live alone on a property with a huge backyard next to a big park and many trails for running and playing! We are located just south of town, in a quiet, rural area. If your dog enjoys company, I have some very sweet and playful neighbor dogs they can meet, but if your pet is more of a loner, they will not be harassed!

About: Owner of two dogs - an Alaskan shepherd and a corgi! Two very different personalities and needs have led me to be very practiced in dog card. I love all creatures big and small and will always treat your pets like my own. I work remotely for a local company so am available all times of the work day. I have a few extracurricular activities for about an hour or so on Wednesdays and Thursdays, otherwise I am open. As a pet owner, I love communication, update, and photos from people who watch my pets and I strive to always do the same. Walks and enrichment time are my forte.

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

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and understand how special and important they are! I have experience training, walking and bathing dogs of all sizes. I also have experience caring for and administering medications for senior dogs. I would love to keep your furry family member company while you’re away! I have schedule flexibility as a mental health therapist and a lot of extra time as the summer months are typically slower. We can discuss longer term care as well since I can design my own schedule and will have weekend availability in the winter months. I love being active! I can easily crate your dog if needed and will never let the dog leave the house without a leash. I will keep pet care within parameters that you’re comfortable with and can spend as much time with your pet as you would like.

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.

About: I have worked with children and animals since I was old enough to handle the responsibility. I grew up in a typical suburb in St. Louis, Missouri and always helped watch neighbors pets and children and have done it through college, post college, and presently speaking. I currently volunteer at Heart of the Valley animal shelter in Belgrade, MT offering enrichment, walks, and sleepovers to pups that need some extra love. I am extremely reliable and timely. I treat others loved ones as my own. I don’t have any allergies to pet hair or dander. I have regular clients through referrals and am looking to add a few to my roster. I love watching all types of animals! I only watch well socialized, nonreactive pups. I work for myself and make my own schedule but also work a part time job at the airport. I have a lot of flexibility and love spending time with animals and being outdoors. My dogs are very friendly and love to play. I am very active. If you request house sitting I can’t be there 24/7. I enjoy hiking everyday and hope your dogs can come with me. I understand some folks want their dogs to stay at their home. I just want to share I will still need to be gone parts of the day taking care of my dogs as well as other daily life tasks and my part time job. I prefer boarding at my home overall but can accommodate house sitting. I live in downtown Belgrade with my husband. We have a large fenced in yard at .4 acres and a doggie door. We have three wonderful dogs; a mini Aussie, a golden retriever pit lab mix, and a lab pointer mix. I have a separate, personal, insurance plan for pet daycare & boarding, with expanded coverage for client pets. I am happy to share my certificate including all limits for general liability, vet care, human medical coverage, damage to property, and more. I also know how to perform CPR on pets.
