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!!”

“Flicker loved having Jessica come over and keep her company!”

Christopher H.

“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.”

Brent P.

“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!”

Noel G.

“Ave was great! She took on a very last minute request and was very kind and followed all of my instructions. After my dog got into the flowers in my vase, she went above and beyond by cleaning up his mess which was not expected of her. 10/10 ☀️”

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’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years and love what I do! I have also owned cats, dogs and many other animals of my own. I have experience with puppies, kittens and also senior care. I provide walking, drop in and sitting care I currently work Monday-Thursday during the day which makes me available for any and all weekend/weeknight care needs! I am also available to stay in your home overnight for pets with a greater need for care. When caring for your pets, I emphasize keeping you in the loop. I like to provide updates/pictures to ease your mind while you enjoy your time away from 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.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since i was very little. Friends and Family have needed me to walk, feed and love their pets. I am experienced with every sized dog and cat. I am currently studying at Montana State University for Equine Science, so I have lots of experience! I’m currently a full time college student at MSU which means I am taking a lot of classes, but feel free to reach out I work my availability around constantly! I am currently living in dorms so I unfortunately cannot accept pets at my home, but I love to dog sit at my clients houses! I can stay at your house overnight or commute and take care of them, either works with me.

About: Owner of two dogs - an Alaskan shepherd and a corgi! Two very different personalities and needs have led me to be very practiced in dog card. I love all creatures big and small and will always treat your pets like my own. I work remotely for a local company so am available all times of the work day. I have a few extracurricular activities for about an hour or so on Wednesdays and Thursdays, otherwise I am open. As a pet owner, I love communication, update, and photos from people who watch my pets and I strive to always do the same. Walks and enrichment time are my forte.

“Bethany did an outstanding job! I can definitely recommend her. I am so happy that she is in the neighborhood. I will also offer a phone or email referral for anyone wanting one. I know how difficult it is finding trustworthy sources now. Thank you again. I will be continuing to use Bethany.”

About: I have a Aussie shepherd rescue from Stafford Animal Shelter in Livingston and have trained him with all the basic commands. We work together every day and I love being around all four-legged critters. I grew up in a house with every pet under the sun: dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, reptiles. I love them all, and would be more than happy to care for your furry family members whenever life calls you out of town. In high school, I worked as a house and pet sitter for my neighbors. I work a 9-5 Monday-Friday, but am happy to stay with and care for your pet in mornings, evenings, and weekends. My job is located in town, so if I need to, I can step away from the office and check in on things. I have extensive experince caring for dogs and cats and love giving them love and affection. I am very detail-oriented and care about the well-being of all animals and take special care to ensure any pet sitting instructions are followed to a T. I am active and love running and walking on the various paths Bozeman has to offer and would love to add a dog into the mix.

About: I have owned dogs and a wide variety of other animal my entire life. I find joy in taking care of them! Providing care for your animals will be a pleasure and fun experience for the both of us. I have a very flexible schedule with the ability to make your furry friends my main priority. I have also trained just about every dog that I have had. I can not only take care of your dogs, but other animals, too, if that is a necessity. Photo Updates Included! Thank you for considering me as an option when looking for a caregiver for your dogs! I work part-time currently and am able to make my own schedule. Let me know what schedule you need care and I will be able to make something work! I have a fenced in yard, a dog door in the house, and a mini golden doodle that is super friendly and loves to make new friends.

“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. :)”

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I grow up around a bloodhound that we got when he was 8 weeks old, and a shelter dog! Took care of my shelter pup till she was 16! It doesn’t matter what age or size! I’ll do whatever:) I currently only work part time on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday! I work usually from 4-9pm! I also live with 2 other female roommates that would be more and happy to help if for some reason I’m at my job! I’m also a part time student doing mostly online so I’m home during the days! I have a fenced in yard that is huge! The only pet that lives in my home is my roommates bunny that stays in her cage! Otherwise there are no other pets here to worry about! I live right next to a park as well!

About: I’ve had dogs all of all ages and am experienced in caring for all ages. I’m good with training puppies and keeping them active. For senior dogs i am happy to relax with them and have down time. In my free time I like to make homemade dog treats that I sell out of a local bakery. I work a part time job that is flexible. I am available weekdays morning and afternoon and most weekends. Overnight stays also fit into my schedule. I have a large, fenced in backyard with room for plenty of running and playing. I also have my own two dogs to keep them company if needed. I give them lots of treat and do enrichment activities with them. I love to teach them tricks too.

“Lorraine took such great care of my cat, Magnolia, during a recent long weekend away. I was a bit nervous because I am both new to the area and recently adopted Magnolia, and was hopeful to find a new go-to cat sitter in my new community. Lorraine exceeded my expectations! From the initial meet and greet to the high level of communication (including photos and videos) to going the extra mile to take good care of some unexpected flowers that were delivered during my time away, Lorraine was great. I’m excited to have her care for Magnolia the next time I am out of town.”
