“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.”


“Charles took wonderful care of my old man. He was on top of communication, great about meeting ahead of time to go over the details, and sent me a picture of my happy guy after his visit.”


“For the first time ever we were able to travel without worry for our two Great Pyrenees. Melissa is so kind and caring, her empathy and love for dogs was apparent immediately. She is extremely competent and thoughtful, we received multiple photos of our pups and other farm animals. She even sent photos of locked gates! We returned home to happy & healthy pups, horses, and cattle. I trust Melissa immensely with our beloved pets and hope to work with her again in the future!”


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 did such an amazing job!!! Took great care to detail of each dogs needs and did just an outstanding job all the way around with daily updates and pictures of the dogs. I greatly recommended Katie to anyone to watch your pet or pets!!!”


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: 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.
