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!”

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 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 cared for animals my whole life, starting with my Westie, then my tortoiseshell cat, and now my energetic Border Collie/Heeler mix. Having pets with different personalities and needs has taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and dedicated care. I’m a safe, trustworthy person who truly enjoys making animals feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I’m also very active and love running, hiking, and biking, so I’m especially great with energetic dogs who need lots of exercise and engagement. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. I’m currently a substitute teacher in Bozeman, and pet sitting through Rover is a meaningful way for me to supplement my income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Working in schools has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and attention to detail, which naturally carry over into the way I care for animals. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I live right along a park, so daily walks are already a big part of my routine with my Border Collie/Heeler mix. My dog is very friendly, active, and would love to have some new walking buddies from time to time. We spend a lot of time outside exploring trails, getting exercise, and enjoying fresh air, so your dog would get plenty of activity, attention, and companionship while in my care. If you would NOT like your furry friend to have a companion, please let me know, and I can accomodate whatever routines you have.

“Clear communication and attentive sitter! My cat was happy:)”

“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.”

Aimee D.

“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 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!

“I really appreciated that Allie sent me daily photos of my cat and kept me updated on his activities! He was very happy and she was very responsive and respectful. Great pet sitter!”

Sarah S.

“Kayla was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty and was very communicative and kind. We will be rebooking with her in the future!”

About: I am a local college student who’s grown up around dogs my whole life, so I’m really comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I also had a cat for a few years in college, so I have experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve also done a lot of dog walking with my aunt, who owns a dog walking business called Waggin Tails in my hometown. That gave me experience handling different dogs and making sure they’re safe and getting the exercise they need. I’m reliable, easygoing, and will take good care of your pet like it’s my own! I just graduated from MSU and I’m working very part-time this summer at Sol Barre (about 1.5 hours a day), so I have plenty of time the rest of the day for pet care. I’m also taking one online class, which I can do from anywhere, so my schedule is really flexible. I’m available to take pets on walks, adventures, and spend quality time with them throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and no other pets at home so whether your animal loves or doesnt love other animals my home is a safe space! I live right down the street from two large dog parks and love going on long nature walks. I think attention is the most important part of pet care. I always make sure pets are safe, not getting into anything they shouldn’t, and are comfortable in their environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and routines so they feel secure and cared for. I also make sure to spend quality time with them doing what they enjoy,whether that’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, so they feel happy and relaxed while you’re away.

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 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.

“My German Shepherd is very wary of strangers, but Jia’s patience and kindness was much appreciated. She won over Zoey and was faithful and communicative regarding her timely drop in visits. It’s great to have peace of mind that your dog was left in good hands. Would absolutely hire Jia again.”
