“I had to leave in a rush for two weeks to take care of my mother who is very ill. Trena looked after my two kitties visiting them every day. She is very responsible, communicative and understands your fur babies needs and preferences. Thanks to her accepting this long assignment, I was able to make arrangements for my terminally ill mother’s comfort and peace of mind without worrying about the pets I have never left alone for so long. Trena is one if the easiest persons to work with and I highly recommend her services for leaving your fur babies without constantly worrying about them. She cares for them as her own.”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of our two indoor only cats. Houdini in particular, is very picky about the folks he associates with, and he loved Melissa right away. She was able to get him to take his meds twice a day and the pictures she took show that both cats felt very comfortable approaching her for food, pets and brushing. She even went above and beyond and kept our porch plants watered. Highly recommend!”
“Brigit was responsible, responsive and generally made my trip so much less stressful, since I didn’t have to worry about Cleo. Cleo was clearly delighted to have the company. Will definitely book again.”
About: I've been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life. I worked for three years as a veterinary assistant working with pets in both the hospital and the boarding facility. I spent a couple of years on the pre-vet track in college where I was part of the Raptor Club, caring for injured, wild birds of prey. Now, I am a PAW IV volunteer at Heart of the Valley, the highest volunteer position attainable. I have also completed 14-weeks worth of lessons with a certified fear-free dog trainer. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, rabbits, reptiles, rodents, fish, and horses. I am comfortable and experienced caring for seniors, pets with special needs, allergies and dietary restrictions, and pets that require medication. I hope that my experience with an array of animals of varying medical and behavioral profiles leaves you feeling confident that your family members are in good hands with me! I am employed full-time as a remote worker, making me capable of caring for your pet(s) in my own or I can come to yours. My job allows me to have flexibility with my schedule, so I can accommodate most feeding, exercise, and break routines your pets are used to! I have a fenced yard on 1/3 of a acre, live in a quiet neighborhood near a paved trail, and am half a mile away from a small local dog park. Our pets are part of our family, and your pet is, too, while in my care! My two dogs and three cats are all allowed on furniture and beds. We separate everyone for feeding (and as needed when there are furry guests staying with us), and each animal in my home or that I care for experiences lots of snuggles, play time, exercise, and plenty of peace and quiet as well.
About: I have been raised with dogs, cats and horses since a young age. I have a 7 year old border collie who has been trained for agility and a 5 year old lab who is trained to hunt. They are disciplined dogs but also very spoiled! I currently work from home with flexible hours. When I am not traveling I am available to take care of your animal throughout the day or overnight. I have a fenced yard with two dogs who will show your animal the ropes. We go on walks every morning, lunch time and evening. Ideally we will be able to get a hike or swim in the afternoon, but if not we play ball and get plenty of time off leash throughout the day. Activities can change based on your animal’s needs. I have two very active dogs and we do everything we can to stimulate them.
“Katie looked after my two cats while I was away and I couldn’t be happier with how much care and love goes in to the service she provides. She visited us few days prior to get all the details and meet the kitties. Food, water and cleaning litter boxes were done exactly as in the instructions. She is punctual, takes time to get to know the pets and uploads report + pictures on time. There was absolutely nothing to worry about. The greatest thing is that my shy kitties were all over her from the get go. I’ve never seen that before, they are usually slow to warm up to new sitters. I definitely recommend her if you want a stress-free time away from your home knowing that your pet is in very good hands.”
About: I've grown up with dogs for my entire life. I have 2 little toy Aussies. They have been so good for me! I love the companionship and they motivates me to get up and get moving. I would love to take your dog for walks and just love on them... although I might grow attached. I promise to give them back though. I do work full time but am more than happy to let your dogs out at lunch or take them for walks. I am also available in the evenings and weekends for any service. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your best friend. I promise to spoil them with love and attention. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Cheers!
About: I grew up with many animals in our home, including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, fish, and even a baby squirrel once. I have experience taking care of puppies and geriatric dogs. I can give love, snuggles, long walks, and medication too! I work full time but have a flexible schedule! I can do drop-ins or walks during the middle of the day and I’m available most evenings! Keeping your pet comfortable is most important! Most the time, this looks like keeping the set schedule you have when you’re home! Have a specific walk route you take with your dog? Let me know! I’m happy to take them to all their familiar places!
About: Hi! I’m Tara — a lifelong animal lover with a heart for senior pets, pups with special needs, and those with unique quirks. I’ve been living and working with dogs (and cats!) my whole life, and I’ve built some wonderful relationships on Rover always treating every pet like family. Located near the Bozeman airport, my home is an animal-friendly haven with cozy bedrooms, a large fenced yard for playtime, and two friendly resident pups, Oliver and Bailey, who love making new friends. I’m experienced with training, medication routines, and giving pets the extra patience and TLC they need to feel safe and happy. *Please enquire about extended stay or regular client discounts.* Whether your pet needs a comfy place to stay or just a little extra attention, I’ve got you covered — with love, play, and peace of mind. 🐶🐱💕 I am open to last minute plans, one time, as well as having regular guests. * Doggy Day Care is a 12 hour window from 7 am to 7pm, if you need longer daycare we can possibly modify for up to an additional 3 hours ( please enquire.) Naturally, all pets get treated like family. Whether at my home, or a clients home, everyone gets the attention and care they deserve. The innocent, precious nature of animals, especially one that is a part of a family holds an immeasurable value.
About: My husband and I both grew up always having dogs in the house. We have experience loving and caring for many breeds - from French Bulldogs to Great Danes! I know what its like to leave a dog with someone and I want to make sure that your dog is loved as if they were staying with a family member. I work from home and we have a fenced in back yard, so your pup will be well looked after. We are happy to set up a meet and greet to see if it's a good fit! I work from home and will be able to attend to any of your dogs needs while staying at our home. We have a fenced in backyard for your dog/dogs to run around and play in. I schedule bathroom breaks every two hours along with regular 20 to 30 minute walks. While your dog is staying with us, they will always have someone around them and not be left alone. We have a fenced in yard and lots of natural light. We take regular trips to the dog park and often go on family hikes. We also have a young-at-heart 8 year old French Bulldog named Frankie. He is very friendly with other dogs, but does better with dogs age 2+ (out of the puppy phase). We also have a 2 year old daughter who adores dogs.
About: My mom used to breed dogs and I was always involved with the dogs and puppies! Plus I’ve love and have been around animals ever since I was a baby! I currently have a pretty open schedule! I am an early bird and enjoy keeping busy during the day. I enjoy having weekends to myself but am more then happy to make exception every once in a while! I will follow a list of what is asked for a client. Feeding, clean up, pick up anything a dog could eat that they aren’t supposed to, walks, play time, etc. I enjoy taking my dog on hikes, to the river (he’s a sucker for the water), he loves ball and rope toys, he enjoys showing off his tricks also! We are currently working with harness training for my cat so she can come on adventures too safely and supervised!
“Jenna is the best! This is my second time using her services and she is so kind, caring, and diligent. She even stayed an extra day when my flight was delayed. You know your fluffballs are in good hands with her!”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She kept me up to date on how my cat Emma was doing and sent some pics and videos. She is a delight to get to know, and I hope that next time Emma needs a sitter that she will be available. Thanks, Caitlin!!”

“Thank you for looking after her. I am glad she warmed up to you quickly. She must have been content because she didn't even meet me at the garage door as usual but hanging close now. Thank you for brushing her.”
