Pet Sitting Kerns

“Even before our booking, Savannah was thorough and showed her care for our pets. She asked great questions and was sure to understand our pets needs. During our time away, she was communicative and put us at ease!”

Tessa W.

“Melissa is fantastic with my dog Winter. She seems to care about him in ways that other sitters don’t. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in good hands with her.”

Cole P.

“Samantha was amazing!! Very communicative and accommodating. My cat seemed very well taken care of and content when I got back. I’ll definitely use Samantha again!”

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I currently own a cat, and I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends. Additionally, my time volunteering at an animal shelter gave me great practical skills—from feeding and cleaning up after cats to watering, exercising, and safely walking dogs of all sizes. Because I limit my apartment boarding to just one or two pets, your fur baby will get focused, one-on-one attention in a calm environment. As a student who also works, my daily routine is structured but flexible. I am fully available for morning and evening care, and I balance my schedule so I can easily fit in midday check-ins, walks, and drop-in visits between my classes and shifts. Because I manage my time carefully, pet care fits naturally into my day, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention and regular potty breaks right on schedule. In my home, safety and a low-stress environment are my top priorities. Because I live in an apartment with my own cat, I only board one or two pets at a time, ensuring they get dedicated one-on-one attention and have plenty of space to feel comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow the owner's exact instructions regarding their routine, feeding schedules, and safety boundaries. Whether at my home or yours, I always double check that doors and gates are secure, maintain a calm atmosphere, and keep a close eye on body language to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

“Our cats love Bryant! He’s communicative and super responsible. It’s a relief to be able to trust that our kitties will be just fine while we’re away. :)”

“Anna’s dependable, consistent, and my cocker, Cooper always looks like he enjoys her company. I hate to see her go, but if she comes to your area, you’ll be pleased.”

About: Hi! I have a year of experience volunteering at Heart of the valley animal shelter here in Bozeman, as well as several years of dog/house sitting! Additionally, I have experience working in a senior care center for individuals with dementia. I’m currently working part time and a college student, which means I have some flexibility in my schedule! I’m available Monday and Wednesday 12:30-2:00 and anytime after 4:30. Tuesday and Thursday I’m available anytime before 8am and anytime after 5:45pm. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priority. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, exercise, and any special requests. During walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, locking doors, and leaving everything just as I found it.

“Alissa, we are so so grateful for you!! Thank you so much for loving our princess while we were gone, Lucy loves you and we are so grateful to have you as our pet sitter! ☺️?‍⬛ You did a wonderful job!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand the love, patience, and attention they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your dog’s routine, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure you receive regular updates and photos while you’re away. I’m currently working full time 9-6. I do wake up at 6 a.m. to take my dog to the park or on a walk which I would be able to do with yours as well. I have an hour lunch break which I can adjust to fit your dogs schedule and when I get off at work, I will take the dogs on a walk/to the park to get that last bit of energy in. I have a golden retriever who is such a lover and enjoys the company of others. He is crate trained so I can put him away if needed or I can also easily crate train your pets.

About: As a veterinary nurse for 3+ years, I have learned a great deal about animal wellbeing and behavior. Each pet is a snowflake, and they all have special quirks about them. My animal care journey first started as a teen working at a dog kennel. This gave me a lot of exposure to different breeds, their eating habits, and some quick, natural fixes to help with digestive issues. I began working in a veterinary hospital in town for a year until I moved to Oregon, where I worked at a mixed animal clinic for 2 years. I recently moved back to Bozeman but still fill my days with veterinary medicine. I’m honored to support pets through some of the hardest days of their life in the most compassionate ways that I can. I am very comfortable taking on dogs and cats with different physical, medical, and social needs. I’m also able to watch pocket pets, goats, sheep, and pigs. As someone who regularly works around pets that are experiencing something outside of their routine, I am deeply passionate about making them as comfortable, and happy as possible! I would love to meet you and your furry (or bald!) companion so you can enjoy that overdue R&R or a quick weekend away! I work full time M-F with Wednesdays off. I am available any reasonable time outside those hours for walks, drop ins, potty breaks, feeding time, etc.! Since I am only accepting drop ins and walks right now, my time spent in your home is pretty limited unless you request otherwise. I take my shoes off when entering, and I return things to their original places (leashes, remaining treats, spare key, etc.). I treat your home as if it were my own!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 14 years old. My main experience in home has been with small/medium sized breeds as I have always lived in an apartment. However, I have dog sat larger breeds for my neighbors and a few friends before as well. I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter called NKLA with best friends society. Here I worked with cats and dogs. I cleaned kennels, socialized with animals to prepare them for adoption, and walked multiple dogs (mainly pitbull breeds). I have owned my own dog for the last 2.5 years who is a medium sized chihuahua/pitbull mix named Athena. She’s on a routine feeding schedule and is walked every 4-6 hours, last time being at 10pm. I have experience with bathing dogs but only have a tub at this current apartment. No grooming experience. I am also comfortable administering medications as my pup takes her own! I have also worked in small animal veterinary medicine. Currently work nights at MSU so I’m available anytime before 4pm. Also have Fridays and Saturdays off but tend to work our football games on occasion! I update my availability frequently once I know I’m out of town as well. I currently have a fenced in back-yard along with a very spacious home with an additional dog bed and a medium sized kennel as needed. My dog is super friendly minus feeding times which would be separated. I like to make sure at least a 30 minute walk twice a day is given & at least an hour overall of playtime. Especially for more energetic breeds!

“Madie was wonderful as always with our old, sweet girl and our energetic younger dogs. She is super professional, sends great notes and cares so so much.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for essentially my whole life! I grew up with 3 small dogs in Davidson, North Carolina, then continued freelance dog sitting throughout undergrad and now grad school at MSU in Bozeman. I’m studying environmental microbiology, and because I’m not sure what my postgrad steps are yet, I am hesitant to get a dog of my own. So, I’d love to be an aunt to as many Bozeman pets as possible! I have taken care of dozens of dogs and cats for my close friends, professors, managers, and strangers. I have no problem with overnight visits due to my flexible schedule, and I’m an avid runner (I ran track and cross country in college) so I’m happy to help dogs get their zoomies out. I can run with high energy dogs if you’re tight on time one day or your pup needs more than a walk. I’d love to wear out your dawgs! As a grad student, I have more flexibility than standard 9-5ers, but often need to spend a big chunk of the day in the lab. I’m usually able to leave around lunch, but weekdays typically require me to be gone for a few hours at a time. However, weekends are very flexible, and I am almost always available for overnights and have lots of time in the evenings and mornings for walks/runs. Sometimes I have periods of more writing and computer work, and during those times I can be at home with fur babies for more of the day. Unfortunately I can’t board pets due to my landlord’s rules, but when I sit in others’ homes, I usually exercise pets in the morning and in the evening (since I also have to get my zoomies out) and send pet pictures daily, though I can do this more frequently upon request. I am generally very flexible, responsive, and receptive to whatever pet owners’ preferences are!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Having grown up with 5-pound chihuahuas e from to 150-pound Great Pyrenees, I’m comfortable handling pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have a high-energy dog, a shy cat, or a pet that needs a little extra patience, I’m here to help. I have a special place in my heart for anxious animals and take pride in providing a calm, steady environments where they can thrive. I’d love to meet your furry family members! I am currently a full-time student at MSU, which allows me to maintain a consistent schedule. I am available for walks and potty breaks most weekdays after 3:00 PM, with additional flexibility throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I pride myself on being reliable and am happy to work with you to find a time that fits your routine My priority is to maintain your pet’s established routine to minimize stress. I am very observant of their body language especially with anxious pets and I always respect their boundaries, whether that means giving them space or providing extra affection. I am diligent about home security, ensuring gates and doors are locked, and I always follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life spanning from kittens to elderly animals. I love and care for all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently a full time student who lives off campus who also works three days a week. My weekends and nights are totally free with many gaps in my class schedule that would allow me to go check on your pets! I am very excited to offer whichever environment your pet enjoys most! I can be exuberant and play with your younger pups or offer a warm lap for an elderly/shy kitty to snooze on.

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 ensure your pet’s safety and happiness, as a happy dog is the best sight to see. I am currently an engineering student with classes until 2 pm at the latest. If your pets ever needs an early walk I am open on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays before 11am. Aside from that I am free on weekends whenever needed and I’m always open to last minute walks or anything I could help you with. I will prioritize your pets routine by strictly following any and all care instructions, the more specific the better. When in your home, I ensure everything stays clean and secure. I also love sending photo updates to show you how much fun your pet is having while you’re away! I will answer texts/calls promptly to keep you comfortable and up to date with anything you need.

About: I have always loved animals I have a 7 year old lab that I have been taking care of since we got him. I have always had a heart for animals I walk my dog at least once a day 7 times a week and I feed him and put fresh water in his bowl. When I have to I’ll give him a bath too I have a couple neighbors that always go out of town and I watch there dogs for them. And have never had any trouble with that

About: I’ve lived with a plethora of different dogs for longer than I can remember, and have nearly decade-long experience as a former dog owner myself. I’m familiar with small and large dogs alike, have put up with many mean dogs in the past, and I have the general know-how to care for older dogs and sick dogs. While I am a newcomer to Rover, I intend to serve my client’s and their dog’s needs with the utmost care and attention, and any dog I’m to watch over will receive as many walks and games as they so please. I’m currently serving as a volunteer for Heart of the Valley, and while I’m usually working 2-4 hours every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, that schedule is incredibly flexible and can be adjusted any which way in order to tend to a dog’s needs as long as bookings are made a day or two ahead of time. I have a very spacious yard, however it is not fenced. Dog’s can easily be leashed for potty breaks if necessary. Indoors, dogs can freely roam the house, but not without someone always keeping an eye on them, and they’ll be fed either twice a day or per the client’s request. In between they’ll receive all the attention and playtime they want, as well as at least one walk a day.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 15 and have loved every minute! I spent a year working for Telluride Humane Society in Telluride CO where I got to socialize rescue animals and get them acclimated to life in a home. I have experience caring for senior dogs with mobility issues as well as developing and executing a plan to get over weight dogs healthy again. I took a break from Rover during my undergrad to focus more on my studies, but as a graduate student at MSU I have a fairly flexible schedule and am excited to start taking care of pets again! I am currently a graduate student at MSU with a fairly consistent but open schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I have class until 1pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays are entirely set aside for my personal research which means that I am on my own schedule and have more flexibility to help! I love an affectionate pet and am happy to give them plenty of love and attention! Though, I also understand that some of them prefer to keep to themselves especially around a new person. I believe I know how to read their body language and figure out where to go from there. I would love to be able to take care of pets at my own home, but our homeowners don’t allow it so I would mainly have to do house visits (which I think is more comfortable for the pet anyway).

About: I absolutely love and adore all dogs! I grew up with a border collie and cared for her when she got old! I also have a 4 year old border collie and am not new to the puppy phases! :) I have dog sat for many of my neighbors growing up and since then. I am happy to meet you and your dog! Like I said I am a pet owner and work a full time job. So I have nothing short of a busy life, but I would love to add your fur friend to my agenda! :) The dogs will go out and play multiple times a day as I have the yard space to allow fetch, chase, or even just lounging. I live in a ground level apartment with an unfenced yard. There is plenty space between the yard and the road, which isn’t a very busy one anyway, but your pet will be safe from any cars, etc. I live about a 5-10 minute walk from Gallatin Regional Dog Park, so if your fur friend needs a fenced in space to run and play, that is an option as well! I also love to explore new parks around town and go on hikes so plenty of adventures will be in place! We will check out different dog parks, go swimming (if that’s what they like), go on hikes, play fetch, go on car rides, and of course cuddle! Nova (my dog) and I live a very busy lifestyle. When I am not at work, we (including your furry friend) will be going on hikes, camping trips, water days, car rides, visit my parents (up in the mountains), or just hang out in the backyard and play. We don’t always go on big adventures as I have plenty of yard space for the dogs to roam freely and run and exercise as needed. *If you are uncomfortable with your pet doing any of these things, please communicate ahead of time or expect some activities to occur.
