About: About Me: Hi, I’m Shauna, a dedicated dog lover from the Willow Glen neighborhood in Kalispell! I live on a spacious 1.26 acre of land with a securely fenced backyard, ideal for dogs to run, play, and relax. My 8-year-old Chihuahua and my mom’s 10-year-old Yorkie are my furry sidekicks, and I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing home-away-from-home experience for your pup. Inspired by countless hours of César Millan’s Dog Whisperer, I use his positive techniques to encourage balanced behaviors and gently redirect unwanted ones with healthy rules, boundaries and limitations. I’m experienced with dogs’ needs, from managing separation anxiety to maintaining feeding routines to administering medications. My pet-proofed home has no toxic plants, and I offer a cozy space for naps and play. I can send daily photo and video updates to keep you connected. As a background-checked sitter, I prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. Whether it’s kennel-free dog boarding, walking, or house sitting in Kalispell, I’m here to give your dog tailored care. Contact me to discuss your pup’s needs and arrange a meet-and-greet! Services: Boarding (Limited Basis): $80/night (includes lots of supervised playtime outside, feeding and cuddles). Drop-In Visits: $25/30-minute visit (feeding, potty breaks, playtime). House Sitting: $75/night (care in your home for 1 house pet. Cost for additional pets negotiable). Dog Walking: $25/30-minute walk (1–2 dogs). Daycare: $45/day (drop-off care for small/medium/large dogs up to 9 hours. Overtime rate $20/hr.) Experience: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, like Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, German Pointers, English Pointers, German Shepherds, Labs, lovable mutts, cats and even horses, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I apply César Millan’s techniques to maintain calm, balanced behaviors and ensure a happy stay. I’m comfortable with special diets and reinforcing training. Availability: See schedule for availability. Boarding available on weekends and select weekdays (book early for holidays). Drop-ins, walks, and daycare offered Monday–Friday, 6 AM–9 PM. House sitting by request. Safety: My acre of land features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed for safety. I send daily updates and follow your pup’s routine to keep them comfortable. My mom and 23 year old son, both avid dog lovers, live with me and will be here for those short times I have to be away. I'm currently working part time and the calendar will reflect my availability. When I am pet-sitting in my home, my mom and 23 year old son who both live with me, will be available if I need to go to an appointment. As I mentioned in my bio, my 1.26-acre property features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed with no toxic plants. I send daily updates via text and follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and safe, kennel-free for comfort.

About: In my lifetime I have been surrounded by animals since birth. Chickens, cows, goats, horses, dogs, cats, and sheep. I’ve always had a strong love for animals. I’ve worked in a vet clinic helping my mom as a vet tech. I have done grooming, daycare, and I’ve dabbled in dog training as well. Over my time dog sitting, I have taken care of puppies and senior care dogs. I currently work for a lady dog sitting. I don’t get a whole lot of jobs. So I have a lot of free time for other dog sitting jobs. I take my dogs to the dog park as often as I can! They mostly get to go on the weekends. I definitely prefer to take care of animals in my own home just because I do have a group of my own animals but I understand pets being more comfortable in their own homes.

About: Pet passionate, compassionate, and having traveled for years, leaving my fur family behind, I understand the pull at your heart-strings and the delicate balance of caring for your fur family. As a retired, pet mommy empty-nester, I'm dedicated full-time to paying my passion forward in loving memory of my fur babies. I have been proudly serving Flathead Valley fur families since 2008, providing 24/7 companionship, house sitting, boarding, day care, drop-in visits, walks, and training on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or occasional basis. I am highly adaptable and comfortable handling all varieties of pets, seniors, and those with special needs. Customizing my services to fit fur family needs is my specialty! I strive to be the unsurpassed standard of excellence and have built my success on reliability, quality service, commitment and customer loyalty. As a retired empty-nester I am flexible and available full-time, 24/7; dedicated to serving one fur family at a time in your home or mine. In my home or yours I adhere to pet care guidelines and customize my services and surroundings based on the individual needs of each furry in order to assure the utmost in comfort and care.

“I don’t even know where to start- Stephanie is an absolute gem. She took care of my dogs like they were her own. From the daily updates to the little thoughtful touches, everything was perfect. It’s such a relief to leave your dog with someone you can completely trust—not just to watch them, but to connect with them. When I got back, my dog was happy, calm, and clearly had an amazing time. It honestly felt like they got a little vacation too! If you’re lucky enough to book with Stephanie, do it!”

“Cassandra took amazing care of my two dogs! She kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell they were happy and loved. I highly recommend her!”

“We used Rasia for a several daily drop in visits while on vacation. She was easy to communicate with and flexible with us on timing of the visits each day. She was on time and our pup loved her walks and hang out time with Rasia. We would use her again if we return.”

About: My name is Brad and I am happy to help you out with your dog care needs. I work from home and have a property that borders open forest land and no immediate neighbors with a very large open yard for unlimited fetch! I am good with all types of dogs and I will make sure that your best friend is well cared for. I make sure to send pictures and pay attention to any special needs. I have owned golden retrievers for 13years and currently have one very polite girl dog named Sage. My home is located 10 minutes west of Kalispell near Foys Lake. My pup is always with me and it’s easy for me to help you out by taking in your dog as well. I live an active lifestyle and I enjoy getting outside for work breaks, and many walks. An average day consists of a bathroom break at 7 AM, feed time around eight, mid morning walk after eating, several bathroom breaks throughout the day, long walk at sunset, dog, food, dinner, and one more potty break before bed. Multiple fetch sessions, daily walks along the trail, and plenty of room to stretch out inside. I can take your dog during the day, part day, or overnight.

About: I will drop in as often as necessary, can make your home look “lived-in”(turning lights off/on, watering flowers, etc), and I will become your dog’s second best friend! I promote pup training and will work hard to reinforce positive behavior, and love trying to teach an old dog new tricks. I have a Newfoundland that I even managed to teach to do a variety of tricks including rolling over! Also, I have had experience with tempermental dogs/puppies that don’t do well with others. I’m available for drop in visits and to take the dog out of the house for walks or trips to the park. I’m available daily before work (7:45am or earlier) as well as after work (6:00pm or later) and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I look forward to spoiling your pup with lots of love, attention, play time, and treats! If you’re looking for someone reliable, flexible, and friendly, then I look forward to meeting your little (or big!) dog. I currently am working full-time, Monday-Thursday, 8:00am-6:00pm. I can drop by after work, or on the weekends. I love spending my free time with animals and am happy to spend quality time with your pet(s)! I provide animals with lots of extra love while their owners are away. I like to provide one-on-one care with the animals and play with them as needed!

About: Hi! I'm Caitlin! I grew up caring for all kinds of critters and training dogs. They are family, and when being cared for by me, will be treated as such.

Most importantly I will respect your home and any rules or preferences you have for your pup. Thank you for taking a look at my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family memebers! ~All the best Caitlin~ I am a self employed photographer so when I am not editing or photographing I am free to check on on the Doggos. I have plenty of time through the day for hour long walks. I have a dog of my own so I understand first hand what it is like to be away from them. I send updates, videos, pictures all the time.

About: I’ve taken care of all animals, big and small. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have barely had any time without one of the two. I grew up on a small farm and I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals. I work 5 hours a day and the rest I’ll be able to take care of your furry babies. I love spending time with animals, and it’s the best part of my day! I love playing with pets and providing them with some much needed cuddle time. I try and keep to their specific feeding schedules and potty schedules. They’ll be well taken care of!

About: My best friend as young kid was my dog. Matilda the Australian Shepard was by my side since the age of three as my partner in crime running around our house or yard and growing up my brother and I were always given the responsibility of our pet's care. That ran the gamut as we had a menagerie that required all sorts of different needs from checking the hermit crab's shell, taking our dog to 4-H obedience classes, feeding our parakeets, taking turns monitoring new born pups, and of course all the clean up that comes with having a pet. Taking good care of and being observant of what a pet is telling you has always been a big part of my life. I previously had my own sitting business in college and my clients ranged from a tabby cat that just needed fresh food and water in the mornings to a family of 7 chihuahuas some with special care needs, 3 cats and 2 rabbits. More recently I have had a lot of experience with my own senior dogs, administering medicines, and being mindful of how they move or may need extra time and TLC. I know every pet has their routine that is specific to them and that they rely on so I keep a "care card" on every pet with all the specifics in their care including emergency contact #'s including veterinary information I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule which allows for all sorts of care options for your pet. I can plan ahead for your pet care or feel free to check with me spur of the moment in case something comes up and I will do my best to help out. being mindful of every pet's different needs I think is a big part of safety for everyone. Knowing what makes the pet feel comfortable is very important as just knowing and being mindful that I would be initially a stranger and out of the pet's normal routine from it's family helping them feel safe and cared for will be top of mind for me. I know every pet has their routine that is specific to them and that they rely on so I keep a "care card" on every pet with all the specifics in their care including emergency contact number's including veterinary information

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats all my life, of all breeds and sizes, but especially large dog breeds. I love being outdoors and experiencing nature with a canine companion; I would love to take your dog on a walk or hike in the area! I have my own car so I’m able to travel around the area if needed. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have! -Drew I’m currently only working a few days a week so have a very flexible schedule. I do plan on doing a lot of trips- but as long as I have notice of when you need me I can work around that. I’m a very trustworthy person, and have experience caring for animals that aren’t necessarily my own. I’ve fostered both dogs and cats, and house and pet sit for family and friends often. I will respect you and your home completely.

With a heart full of love for all our furry friends, I cannot wait to embark on exciting adventures with your beloved canine companion. My journey as a dog walker began years ago when I discovered my deep-rooted connection with animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I quickly realized that spending time with dogs brought me unparalleled joy and fulfillment. From that moment on, I knew that my purpose in life was to provide exceptional care and support to our four-legged friends. When it comes to my dog walking philosophy, I believe in nurturing not only physical well-being but also emotional happiness for our furry pals. My primary goal is to create a safe and stimulating environment where dogs can thrive, explore, and have an absolute ball during our walks together.

I am also experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that even the most timid or boisterous canines feel secure and comfortable throughout our walks. In addition to the physical exercise aspect, I strongly believe in the power of mental stimulation for dogs. I incorporate engaging activities, such as interactive games and puzzle toys, to keep their minds sharp and active. Whether it's sniffing out hidden treats or practicing basic obedience commands, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to make our time together both fun and mentally enriching. Above all, I strive to build trusting relationships not only with the dogs I walk but also with their human companions. Open and transparent communication is key to providing the best care possible, and I am always available to discuss any concerns, requests, or special instructions you may have.

Together, we'll create pawsome memories that will last a lifetime! I work from anywhere I have mostly answer phone calls for my business. Which gives me time to take care of dogs. Train them and take them on adventures. When it comes to caring for pets in either my home or my client's home, I ensure that their well-being, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. The specific care provided may vary depending on the service I offer, so let's delve into both scenarios: Caring for pets in my home: If I offer services where pets stay with me, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that replicates a home-like atmosphere. Here's how I care for pets in my home: 1. Comfortable accommodations: I provide a cozy space for pets to relax, ensuring they have a comfortable bed or a designated area where they can unwind. 2. Regular feeding and hydration: I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner and make sure fresh water is readily available at all times. Special dietary needs or medication administration will be strictly followed as instructed. 3. Exercise and playtime: I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or enjoying interactive toys, I ensure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require. 4. Regular potty breaks and hygiene: I maintain a consistent bathroom schedule, taking pets outside for potty breaks. I also provide regular grooming, including brushing, bathing, and nail trims, if necessary. 5. Safety and supervision: I create a secure environment, free from potential hazards, and monitor pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I supervise their interactions with other pets, if applicable, to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment. Caring for pets in the client's home: If I offer services where I visit the client's home to care for their pets, my approach revolves around maintaining their routine and surroundings. Here's how I care for pets in their own homes: 1. Adhering to routines: I strive to follow the established routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions for their care. 2. Feeding and medication administration: I ensure pets receive their meals according to the provided schedule and administer any necessary medications as instructed. 3. Exercise and enrichment: I engage pets in physical activities tailored to their needs, whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in interactive play. I also provide mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and positive reinforcement training. 4. Maintaining cleanliness: I keep the pet's living areas clean and tidy, including regular litter box cleaning for cats or ensuring a clean outdoor space for dogs. 5. Security and well-being: I make sure the home is secure during my visits, ensuring doors and windows are properly closed and locked. I also keep a watchful eye for any potential signs of distress or health issues in the pets and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client's home, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in every possible way.
