Dog Walkers in Iris, MT

About: For many of us, our four-legged friends aren’t just pets, they’re family. I was raised to believe that our animals should be cared for, loved and respected, and having this mindset over the course of my life has given me a rapport with dogs and cats. Having my own dog, I can relate to the pet owner who feels guilty about leaving their dog(s) at home all day during working hours. With my services, you can rest assured that your pup will be physically and mentally entertained, so you can come home to a happy, healthy pet. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house/pet sitting, or a combination of these. I am also happy to cat-sit as well. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests, and I hope I can help you and your pets! I live and work at Rock Creek not far from Missoula. It’s a great country-side setting for dogs with lots of public land, trails, and of course the creek itself. We have a fenced yard to keep dogs nearby and safe. If your dog is a social butterfly, I can bring him or her to my fly fishing shop and make them a “shop dog” for the day!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I primarily work with dogs and cats, but I’m happy to care for other animals too! I’ve grown up around animals and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I take pride in giving every pet the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with all life stages—from playful puppies to senior pets—and I’m comfortable working with reactive or selective dogs. I also have experience providing extra care for pets with medical needs and will always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I love being outdoors and enjoy hiking, swimming, and exploring trails with dogs. Having lived in the Missoula area for several years, I’m very familiar with local trail systems and great walking spots. I originally started pet sitting in Wisconsin, where I’m from. Whether your pet needs a fun, active walk or a calm, patient companion, I’m here to help. I’d love to meet you and your pet!

About: My own dog, Trixie, has been my family for 10 years. When my brother's cat was sick and elderly, I was able to transport her to vet appointments and help her follow a special diet. When in my care, my friend's dog received glaucoma medication and he travelled safely with us. I have extreme flexibility on Fridays, and can make stops on the way home from Drummond to Missoula since I commute Monday through Thursday evenings. My own dog used to be high energy so I definitely understand the need to get dogs out of the house during the day :)

About: I love animals, they bring a special joy to life that no other can. I have experience with all sorts of animals from large dogs to small rodents and birds. In 2025 I lost my senior dog who lived to be 16! He needed special care for the last few years of life so I am no stranger to strict and detailed care and grooming. I recently lost my job, so my schedule is wide open while I search for a new one! I would love to meet new animal friends and help you out! I am an HR professional, so I am no stranger to details and being professional and courteous to others! I feel every person and being deserves respect and love!

About: Thought I'd try this app out to make an extra buck. I am a lover of all pets, well maybe not spiders. I grew up in the remote country of Wisconsin, with a bunch of farm animals, as well as cats and dogs. Growing up with pets, and farm animals is crucial for knowing animals. I'm always taking my roommates dog for walks, and to the dog park. We have a big fenced in yard in the heart of Missoula. Meru (my roommates female dog) is really friendly and loves all other cats and dogs. I would focus my energy on your dogs and cats of course, but if Meru and your dogs cross paths they'll be best friends for the day. Hope to hear from you, and lend a helping hand with your best friends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping a calm, clean environment. I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have been a care sitter for other dog owners before and have been told whata good sitter I was. I personally own two dogs of my own and have cared for them for eight years. I am a college student that lives with my grandparents so I am able to care for dogs when I come home. I care for both dogs during the week. Since I have two small dogs I prefer to stay over at the owners house so that I don't stress my dogs out with another new dog.

“She is great!”

“Our boy Cashew is still in the thicket of big-dog adolescence, and at 70lbs it can feel like steadying a runaway train, but Reid has been beyond wonderful with Cashew since the start! Reid is compassionate with our boy without letting him get away with unsafe behaviors, and now that I’m working 12hr days, I can trust that my boy will be exercised, exhausted, and excited to sleep until I’m back home. Choosing someone to bring into your home, while you’re not there, to temporarily *take your dog* is an undeniably stressful decision. Reid has made that process effortless, putting my entire family at ease, and I cannot recommend his services enough!”

About: I have a love for animals and have lived with 16 of my own on a large property. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, and other various livestock and would enjoy caring for others. I work most weekends and have 8 hour shifts but I am free after. My work schedule can vary from week to week but I do my best to keep it updated. I tend to be fairly flexible as I work part time. I currently am investing in a cat run to keep my babies safe and enriched so I understandthe need to put saftey first. I follow pet care instructions from each owner to a t to make sure your pet is given the best care. I enjoy playing with active dogs or lounging with calmer ones. I take dietary restrictions or medication very seriously and prefer to be given a schedule for each animal. I adore written instructions to ensure I provide your pet(s) with the best care possible and cover all the bases. There is no such thing as too much detail for me! I’m here to make your pets feel as comfortable as possible in your time away from them. My goal is always to keep your pet as safe and happy as can be. :)

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.

“Rowan took great care of our high energy dog, would definitely recommend her!”

About: I can't remember a time in my life without dogs! I grew up with three; however, my past experience working is primarily in dog walking/ drop ins. I also have past experience in puppy-sitting and house sitting. In 2020 I walked dogs briefly for a local hospice program. I would describe myself as reliable and a quick learner. I am currently a full-time student at UM looking to make some money on the side in a low-stress environment. My availabilities would be before and between class during the week, and any afternoon after 3:00. I am usually available for overnight sitting duties. I will always care for pets in clients' homes as per their instructions first. I will then act according to past experience and common sense secondly. I prioritize the safety and respect of my client's animals and homes.

About: More than happy to help with your pup(s) when you’re busy with life or going on adventures! Currently away from my doggo. I’ve had my dog for 5 years now and he’s a large yellow lab Saint Bernard mix. Therefore I’m able and would love to care for all breeds, shapes, and sizes of pups. So I’m eager to spend time with your awesome animal and give some love to them! Extremely willing and able to get them plenty of exercise, treats, or anything to make sure they’re happy and healthy! My job allows me to have a bit of time off in between projects, so I’m trying to fill some time in my off time and what better way to do so then spend time looking after your loving pup!
