Dog Walkers in Lolo, MT

About: I am a wildlife biologist who grew up with pets of all kinds. I've cared for puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. Your pet will be joining me and my family of a well-socialized dog, my husband (also a wildlife biologist), and our 2 daughters. I will personally be providing the care, including a safe, loving, and playful environment, as well as a quiet space when needed, with a roomy and cozy interior and a beautiful large fenced yard. I work from home in a part-time position and care for our family dog while kids are at school. I am able to offer daily walks and as many mealtimes, potty breaks, and attention as your pet needs. At night, pets sleep inside in whichever arrangement is preferred for them. It can be so hard to leave a beloved pet. But worry not, I like to give pets their best life! I am able to care for well-socialized pets and offer plenty of exercise and affection every day, and also provide personal space and downtime if that is what your pet requires. I have a large fenced yard and 2 crates available if needed. I can also provide transport for a compensation. Reactive dogs are not a good fit for my home, but I am able to care for them in their own home and individual leashed walks. I have experience as a dog walker for a large dog with fear aggression.

About: I grew up with 3 dogs at a time and have taken care of lots of dogs in my life. I am familiar with dog calming signals and can gain trust with shy and avoidant dogs. I moved to Missoula MT to attend an Aerie backcountry medicine course. I am available every day but Tuesday for the month of January. My schedule will be more limited and adjust in February March and April for the course. I believe in positive reinforcement and have worked with many dogs on treat training. I raised a Great Dane with my ex and she’s a sweet heart. I’m caretaking a ranch property that is perfect for dogs to run around on. I can walk your dog, do drop ins, house sit, etc. and will send you pictures to keep you updated. I am a calm, respectful and responsible person. I look forward to working with you and your pet. :)

About: Hello, My name is Josie and I am an animal lover! I am primarily doing Rover as a passion project as I already work as an RN in Missoula. This is your opportunity to hire a high-energy, attentive pet sitter for a low price! :) I live in a spacious home with a large, fenced yard. We have 6 chickens outside (in their own fenced area). I am very active and love walking, hiking and running. Energetic dogs welcome! I can take your dog for a 15 minute walk, a 15 mile run, an all-day hike or anything in-between. I will take care of your pet with the upmost responsibility and care. I will only be accepting requests for days that I am not working so my attention will be 100% free for your animal. Communication is important to me and I will be happy to provide updates and pictures of your pet frequently. Please message me with any questions. I work 3, 12-hour shifts per week. I will be accepting requests for the 4 days per week that I have no obligations or work. I have a large home with 2 spare bedrooms and a large fenced yard. We have access to trails directly from our house for walks. I am happy to take dogs for longer hikes and walks on trails in or nearby Missoula as well.

“Lea's meticulous attention to detail truly sets her apart. She asked insightful questions about my dog's needs and preferences, demonstrating a genuine commitment to providing the best care possible. I appreciate her thoroughness and can confidently say that my dog is in excellent hands with Lea. I look forward to booking her services again in the future—you can't go wrong with someone so dedicated and caring!”

“I’m needed a walker at a short notice and Ryan came to the rescue! She really helped me with the big doggies. Ryan responded very quickly so I wasn’t stressing to get the big boys out before it gets too hot. Definitely recommend!”

About: I grew up on a ranch in Eastern Montana where I learned to take care of a large variety of pets. I am a student at the University of Montana and a member of the Griz Dance Team. I currently have my own 2 year old golden retriever named Goose. He is as sweet as can be. I strongly value reliable care for him. I would love to help ensure you your pet is taken care of while you are away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday, but available on the weekends to care for your pet! Very flexible with last minute bookings, feel free to message me whenever:) I value providing safe care for your pet and making the time spent together valuable and fun! Book with me today for a great pet care experience!

About: My first job was at a job at a cat boarding facility for six years, and my following job was at a dog boarding facility for one year. I am a young professional in the Missoula area with a flexible schedule and I would love to meet your pets! I am available for overnight sitting, daily walk/hikes, and more! I live in a very pet friendly apartment, and take my dogs for walks all over Missoula, including Blue Mountain, McClay Flats, the DNRC, and more.

About: I currently work from home and can manage my own schedule to be attentive to your dog. I have a three-year-old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who loves to play with friends. If your pet prefers to chill inside, my house is well loved by my own dog and my three sons. Your pup can make themselves right at home on the furniture or play in the fenced yard. I enjoy any excuse to go on a walk and look forward to taking your fur baby with me. Your pet can count on as much fun or relaxation as they need. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule. I work from home so if I am here, your pet can be too. My advanced notice for booking requests is to be fair to you. I do occasionally need to be gone to take a kid to the dentist or shuttle someone to soccer practice. If your pup likes car rides, they’re welcome to tag along! Feel free to ask my availability even if it’s short notice. I’m a great improviser! I tend to leave extensive notes for anyone who cares for my pet when I’m gone so I completely understand if you have a long list of things to share about how to best care for yours too. No request is silly. No detail is insignificant. My home environment is pet friendly with a fenced yard and vigilant observation. Pets are part of the family and should be provided that same level of love and attention. I would prefer to have a meet & greet prior to any first service, but it isn't required.

About: Hello there! I have 1 year of experience working in pet retail/professional pet care. Also 10 years experience with being a pet sitter/house sitter for personal friends and family. I can help with everything from walking your pet to staying the day with your fur baby and catering to all of their needs. I have a passion for animals and will take care of your fur family as if they were my own. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, I hope to meet you soon! I have a natural connection with any animal I meet, it’s a gift I have always had. Your fur baby will feel right at home playing fetch and going on walks with me! My schedule is currently completely open, I am available any time. I love being able to care for all animals as if they were my own. I do my very best to work with your schedule and give your fur babies the best care possible. Every animal I take care of holds a special place in my heart.

About: Ive been fortunate enough to grow up with dogs and cats in the house my whole life! Friends and family have reached out to me for the bulk of my life for house sitting and pet sitting needs. I love the outdoors and find a lot of dogs are the perfect companion to have by your side in the wilderness! Currently only working part time leaving me plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends! I have a lot of spots in town I like to hike at and love bringing dogs along with me. I love spending time just playing and hanging out with animals to keep me busy throughout the day as well! I really try to match the routine of the owners for the pets so they don’t get too stressed out being gone from you! I have animals of my own and know how important it is to want your animals to be in good hands and not having to stress about them not enjoying their time away from you.

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.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with three dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’m always up for long walks, playtime, or just being around to keep them company. Whether you have energetic puppies/kittens or a senior companion, I'm happy to work with pets of all ages. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work part-time, which allows me to offer pet care services Sunday through Thursday. I particularly enjoy morning walks and am more than happy to arrive early if needed! I’m happy to stay full-time in your home if that’s your preference. However, I typically offer drop-in visits throughout the day as I find that works well for most pets and aligns best with my schedule. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure pets remain comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided, including feeding schedules, playtime, and regular walks. I always aim to give pets the same love and attention they’re used to while maintaining a calm environment during your absence.

“August is so incredible with our very needy hound - Juni absolutely loves her walk time with him! Even when our dog needs extra care for an injury, August is super responsive and takes good care of our Junebug.”

About: I’ve had a lot of experience caring for animals of all kinds- but mostly dogs! I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for over 10 years, and have worked through dog walking companies such as Rover for 3 years as I’ve been moving around for university. I have three dogs myself and really have a heart for these animals! I’m excited to meet your pet (: I am available full time for the next 3 1/2 weeks before I move away again for my school semester to start. Available anytime of day week or weekend! I live outside of town, on a large grassy mountain! We do not have a fence, so dog must be leash trained well. There are few cars that drive the road where I live so jogs/ walks along the road/mountain trails out my backdoor are generally how visitors get their activity in.

“Jesse walked our two beagles for ten days. He was great—very reliable and very good with our dogs. I was very comfortable with him and will certainly look for him again when we need a dog sitter. I highly recommend him.”
