About: Hi! I am an avid lover of pets! I work well with cats or dogs! My time management, flexibility, and active lifestyle. That allows me to be able to play and walk the animals. I am able to perform drop in checks, board pets, take them on potty breaks. I am happy to help! Please ask me if you have further questions! I am a part time nurse! I usually work 4 days a week. I love my job as nurse. However I would enjoy helping my four legged friends out there! I am very active and wanting to venture on this! My schedule is usually well set but I am very capable of time management. Let’s connect and see if I am a good fit for you! I have a house I am living in with a fenced in yard!

“Camille K. is trustworthy, reliable, timely, responsible, and exceeds expectations. She is able to care for any kind of pet, whether that be livestock, or general household animals, or both at the same time. I currently have goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, dogs, and have had other animals in the past. We have hired Camille to petsit for us for multiple week-long vacations, and has done a great job at managing the load of multiple animals of different types. Camille is also trustworthy to stay at the house while petsitting for longer trips, or if the animals require more attention or care. I highly recommend Camille for any pet sitting needs!”


19. Riley S.
About: I have not lived a single year without a dog. I have had all different kinds of pets and think Rover is an awesome way to keep them active and loved!! I am able to pull heavy dogs and have had experience with dogs of all ends of the discipline spectrum. I am almost 24 and recently moved to Bozeman from Virginia. I have a 9 month old German Shepard and have had my own personal dogs for the last 4 years. I work remotely and am extremely flexible with schedule. I've trained multiple puppies and taken classes on this as well. I am currently working FULL-TIME REMOTE! So i have all the time necessary to take care of your animals when needed and spend extra time with them. I have an energetic puppy myself who loves other animals. We are outdoors constantly and I am well seasoned in ensuring the safety of your animal. I have great experience leash training as well, and am more than willing to incorporate this if the client would like!
