Doggy Day Care in Lux

“We were very lucky to find Elizabeth. We had a day trip planned and had to leave Marcie with someone. Elizabeth responded very quickly to our request and was very flexible. Marcie had the best time and didn’t want to leave :) We highly recommend Elizabeth!”

“We had a great experience with Tori. Excellent communication, she was able to watch my pup on short notice, and my dog had a great time at her place. Thank you, Tori!”

About: I have cared for my own dogs and friends dogs while they are out of town for many years. Your dog will always feel loved and welcomed in my home. I WFH (work from home) which allows for a flexible schedule to provide your dog with plenty of walks and good boy/girl pets. I can give you ease of mind with having a fully fenced in backyard, as well. I have a Golden Retriever who would love a friend to play with. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pet to play and lounge around in. I also work from home and can make sure your dog gets the exercise that they need.

About: I've had a dog since I was 5 and started watching others dogs at age 8 (with the help of family). I have been dog sitting by word of mouth for the last 4 years, but now that I graduated from MSU in May, I am looking foward to serving those in Bozeman before going to graduate school! I love watching dogs and making sure they get their daily exercise. Whether it is just throwing a ball or taking them to a dog park, it is my favorite part of the day. I am currently taking a gap year before I apply to graduate school, which leaves more tiime for walks. We have an invisible fence, but also can offer a tether system if they are not trained off leash. We have trails next to our house and also go on lots of hikes as well. Inside the house we have a gate at the laundry room where we seperate the dogs when feeding time comes around.

About: I grew up with dogs (black lab and golden retriever) and have been helping to take care of dogs my entire life. I currently own a 90 pound Bernese mountain dog/poodle mix and have raised him since he was an 8 week old puppy. Despite my dog’s large size, he has never met a dog he doesn’t like! I am happy to care for dogs of all ages and breeds, but unfortunately cannot care for dogs who may react in aggressive ways toward other dogs since there will be another dog in my home. I am fortunate enough to be able to work full-time from home! This allows me to check on the dogs periodically throughout the day, take them for walks between meetings, refill water dishes, etc. on the weekends I can take your pup for longer trail hikes or runs but you can be reassured that your dog will be receiving near constant attention, regardless! I promise to care for your dog(s) in the same way I would care for my own. Since I have a dog myself, my home is already relatively “puppy proof” and safe for dogs of all sizes and ages. I have a 6 foot tall fenced backyard which should keep even the savviest escape artists secured! I have experience with crate training and while my dog is now trusted to free roam, I am happy to allow your dog to use his old crate if needed!

About: I rescued my first pet (cat) and spoiled my second (dog). Have fun playing fetch and taking long walks, and love to hang out with cats too. I just recently moved into Bozeman, looking for new spots to hike and job searching. Still wanting to use Rover as often as I can. I can easily crate dogs (only if asked or necessary) in a client’s home. I can recognize different techniques to use on differently trained animals.

“My puppy starts bouncing as soon as she sees the house! She comes back exhausted, floppy, happy, and so well behaved. She plays with one year old ember and even the sweet neighbor golden retriever. Could not recommend enough!”

“Had the most positive experience with Ben. We had a little meet and greet before Ranger’s visit which put me totally at ease leaving my baby with Ben and Riley. Ranger was immediately welcomed and accepted by Ben’s doggo Bella. Ben was completely accommodating with my schedule for drop off and pick up which was totally amazing. Would highly recommend Ben for your daycare needs. Super happy experience for me!”

“Tucker had a great time this week hanging out with Sarah and her family as well as her dog Jo Jo! Tucker and Jo Jo became fast friends and were such a great fit, playing all day. I highly recommend Sarah and look forward to reaching out again soon.”

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs since age 5. Prior to moving to Bozeman, I served as a dog sitter, cat sitter, and exotic fish sitter for four different families and volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past four years. I work remotely and my schedule is flexible so I have plenty of time and availability to stay with your animals, drop in, and walk them as needed. I am detailed-oriented and tidy. I will follow thoroughly instructions given for safety and care of animals. Please let me know if you need additional care like plants watered or what time trash day is!

“Margaret was a great pet sitter for our dog Barley. Very responsive to our request and easy drop off and pick up. Our dog seemed very happy.”

“Erika is tremendous! You and your dog won’t find anyone better suited for taking care of the pups. I’m traveling and Erika took Murphy for daycare for 2 days. I wasn’t able to get back in time for our prearranged pick-up time and Erika offered to keep Murphy overnight at no extra charge. She came to my motel to pick him up and also dropped him off again after his overnight with her. She didn’t charge me for this extra service. She drives a shuttle bus around picking up her client’s dogs and each dog has its own seat on the bus. They’re seatbelted in for safety. It was the coolest and funniest thing to see, and then the bus door opens and Murphy runs out to see me. Priceless. She also provided video of her checking each dog for safety on the bus and Murphy was definitely digging the experience (no pun intended). Erika communicates throughout the day with texts, photos, videos, and report card updates. She was always available by phone and answered texts quickly. She clearly loves what she’s doing with all of “her” dogs. She was flexible and attentive and caring. Her partner helps as needed and he is just as delightful. I never had any qualms with her, her care or services for Murphy. Erika is the top tier of dog sitters and it doesn’t matter if your dog is a regular client or passing thru as I am. It’s obvious Murphy loved being with her as he ran right up to her for love when we went back the next day. I’m definitely using Erika again as I’ll surely be returning to this area. She’s a 10 out of 10.”

“Zeus has an amazing time. He came home happy and tired from so much fun. I really liked that he was with other dogs and kids to keep him socialized.”

About: Over twenty years of boutique pet care. I’ve taken cpr/emergency training and have dedicated time to senior cat and dog care. As for in-home care I pride myself as a care-taker to make sure all plants are watered, mail taken in, drives shoveled, and you should return home as if you’d been here the whole time. Your pets may question if you were away ;) As a consultant I have my laptop time, but immense flexibility to match your loved family member. I want your pet to have a mirrored experience to thier normal routine. Living in the mountains, we have plenty of trails right out the door, and I can do any speed, snuggles to hike/sprints! I’ve had repeat clients, especially herding breeds who love a big adventure day, every day as well as the homebody who are particular on their snuggle schedules :)

“We were coming thru Bozeman and needed a last minute doggie sister and thank gosh to Codi, she was available. Our pups had a great time! If we come back thru, we'll definitely be going to Codi again.”

“Heather and her family are the most amazing and supportive people. She makes sure our pup is well-exercised and taken care of. Any time I pick him up (7 mo old heeler puppy), he falls asleep in the car. I appreciate Heather so much for the time she takes with our boy and helping him feel even more loved. She is also very understanding and flexible, which I am very appreciative of.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was eight, helping family, friends, and neighbors who needed extra support with their pets. My passion and empathy for all creatures drive me to provide the best experience possible for every animal I meet. From high-maintenance pets requiring timed meals to easy-going, low-maintenance companions, I’ve handled it all. No matter the pet, I’m dedicated to offering them love, care, and attention, making sure they feel safe and happy. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine and I’m regularly helping others with their furry families- it’s what I love. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate walks, playtime, and feeding at times that suit both you and your pets. I typically dedicate my mornings and evenings to caring for animals, ensuring they receive plenty of safe love and attention. Whether it’s providing companionship during the day or evening cuddles and plays, I’m committed to making your pet feel comfortable and cherished wherever you go and how ever long you need. In my home or yours, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets, with tons of unfenced yard where they can play and explore leashed, or unleashed. My area also has an abundance for dog parks and walks! I pet-proof the space, ensuring hazards are removed, and provide cozy areas for them to relax and feel safe. I prioritize cleanliness and maintain a calm atmosphere to help pets feel comfortable being somewhere new. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and routines along with your home and possessions. I follow your guidelines closely and extremely carefully, ensuring your home and especially your pets’ safety and well-being is my top priority. Whether it’s keeping up with their usual feeding schedules or sticking to specific house rules, I strive to maintain great consistency for them and you. You can trust that your little family member will receive the utmost care and attention, making them feel secure while you’re away.

About: I love pets, the outdoors and exercise. If your pet needs wearing out while you are away then you are in the right spot. I have been caring for pets for 30 years. I have a dog of my own and dedicate time every day to pet walks and exercise. I would love to bring your pet into our routine! I can come to you or you can bring your pet to us. I can be flexible to the needs of you and your pet.

“Got stuck on the way to their house and they pulled my car out! Plus they were great with my dog, he had a ton of fun, was very happy when we got him back.”
