Cat Sitting Matthews

About: Hi all! I am originally from Bozeman and grew up with dogs- I enjoy going for walks and going to dog parks as well as just cuddling on the couch! I am a full time employee at the hospital and can easily do drop in walks or visits and will only accept jobs where I can meet the level of care your pet needs. I treat pets like a part of my family- since I am a renter I am unable to board animals at my house but would follow any guidelines set up by a client to make their pet feel like they are with family.

“Very sweet, caring, and professional!! Looks like the cats had a blast with her as well, did fabulous with our home and kitties. Would definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of so many different species of animals ever since I was in elementary school. I spend as much time with the pets as I can and love to play and snuggle with them! Their wellbeing and happiness is my top priority I am currently a student at MSU, but my classes are spread out so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am always free on the weekends. I am sure to give my full attention to your pet and cater to their every need. I work with all personalities and temperaments and will always give the highest level of care to any animal I meet!

“Aneasha was fabulous with the two cats. Neither one had ever lived or stayed anywhere else and it was obvious when I picked them up that they were very comfortable and happy at her house. We will definitely have her keep the cats again when we leave town.”

“Clara was amazing! Our pet loved her, and she did great with communication, and went above and beyond for us. Definitely booking with her again!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life! Living in the same neighborhood during my childhood, I was the go-to pet sitter on the street. I love creating a safe and loving space for animals, and ensuring you enjoy your time away knowing your pet is taken care of! I’m currently working at a coffee shop, the shop closes at 2, leaving my afternoon and nights open to spending time with your furry family members! I live in town, nice and close to most places. I have my transportation and reliability ready to go to provide trustworthy, consistent, and safe care for your family.

About: As a veterinary nurse for 3+ years, I have learned a great deal about animal wellbeing and behavior. Each pet is a snowflake, and they all have special quirks about them. My animal care journey first started as a teen working at a dog kennel. This gave me a lot of exposure to different breeds, their eating habits, and some quick, natural fixes to help with digestive issues. I began working in a veterinary hospital in town for a year until I moved to Oregon, where I worked at a mixed animal clinic for 2 years. I recently moved back to Bozeman but still fill my days with veterinary medicine. I’m honored to support pets through some of the hardest days of their life in the most compassionate ways that I can. I am very comfortable taking on dogs and cats with different physical, medical, and social needs. I’m also able to watch pocket pets, goats, sheep, and pigs. As someone who regularly works around pets that are experiencing something outside of their routine, I am deeply passionate about making them as comfortable, and happy as possible! I would love to meet you and your furry (or bald!) companion so you can enjoy that overdue R&R or a quick weekend away! I work full time M-F with Wednesdays off. I am available any reasonable time outside those hours for walks, drop ins, potty breaks, feeding time, etc.! Since I am only accepting drop ins and walks right now, my time spent in your home is pretty limited unless you request otherwise. I take my shoes off when entering, and I return things to their original places (leashes, remaining treats, spare key, etc.). I treat your home as if it were my own!

About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, mainly rescues or shelter dogs. Additionally, my prior job was a groomer/bather at Muddy Paws in Bend OR. I’m comfortable with large reactive dogs. I enjoy long hikes so if you want your dog worn out that can be done! Currently studying geography at MSU, with an accommodating schedule. I will be in Bozeman for the majority of the summer, during which I will not be taking classes. My availability is regularly updated. My dogs have currently replaced me at home, my parents now have 3 dog children. I was raised that they were “my siblings” and appreciate their individual personalities. I got Amelia (the black lab) at 9 years old, she grew up to be occasionally reactive and therefore spent a long time learning how to adapt my approach to supporting her. I love walking around town, but end up staying away from crowds in order to get a productive walk in for my dogs.

“Keeley was great! She was super helpful and kept and eye on all 9 of our animals while we were away and made sure they were all doing well :)”

“Kaelleh is very kind, attentive, and detail-oriented. She was wonderful with my animals to include horses, dogs, and a cat. I would not hesitate to recommend her, she checks in consistently and sends detailed photos and a list of what she did during that day. I feel very lucky to have had her help while I was away.”

About: Hi there! My name is Samantha and since I am home full-time, your pets will receive my undivided attention and a flexible routine tailored exactly to their needs. I genuinely love both cats and dogs, and I focus on providing a calm and reliable presence. Whether I am staying at your home, dropping in, or out on a walk, your pet's safety is my absolute top priority. I can confidently monitor everything they chew on, what they eat, and keep a strict, watchful eye whenever they are outside around other dogs. What sets me apart is my extensive, practical experience with medical and senior care. I am entirely comfortable administering pills, liquids, specialty diets, and medical shots (like insulin). Services I Offer: ~In-Your-Home Sitting, Walks, & Drop-Ins: Available for cats and dogs of all ages. ~Senior-Only Boarding (My Home): I live right on a beautiful trail system perfect for peaceful, low-impact walks! I have two sweet senior dogs of my own who love calm company. Because my dogs prefer a quiet environment, I happily open my home to fellow senior dogs only—no energetic puppies, just a relaxed space for older pups to lounge and stroll safely.I treat every animal in my care with the same love, protection, and respect I give my own! Because I am home full-time with an open schedule, I am flexible and can easily structure my days around your pet's exact feeding, walking, and medication timelines. My regular day already revolves around senior pet care. I live right on a beautiful trail system, so my mornings and evenings include peaceful, low-impact trail walks. If I am house sitting for you, doing drop-ins, or hosting a fellow senior dog at my place, your pet will seamlessly fit into this relaxed, attentive routine. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins): When I watch your pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine exactly as it is to prevent any stress. I am hyper-vigilant about their safety. I closely monitor everything they chew on or eat, and I keep a watchful eye whenever we are outside around other dogs. I am highly experienced with medical routines, so I can smoothly handle precise schedules for pills, liquid medications, specialty diets, and medical shots (like insulin).

About: I have taken care of all ages of Kittens, Puppies, Cats & Dogs. I am comfortable with dealing with different personalities or needs. I care very much about making sure your pet feels loved & cared for while you are away! I am currently a student at MSU & I usually am only at school for 3-5 hours a day for lectures. When working with pets, I make sure to spend my free time with them to make sure they are cared for! I do not offer services at my personal house. I will come to your house. I like a clean & stress free/easy to understand environment. It is also a requirement that your house is a safe environment for myself & your pets. Communication is a must to create a trusting relationship with your pet/house sitter!

“Allie was so great when she did a week of check ins on my kitties. She was quick to respond, very professional and sent lots of photos. :)”

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.
