About: I have had many dogs growing up and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I have dog sat for many friends, family, and coworkers and am looking to provide the same service to you. My current housing will not allow pets, which of course, leaves me needing my fix of K-9 time. I work as a bartender, server and cook at the Olive Garden and mostly my shifts there start around four. So if you have a pug, bulldog, jack russel, german shepherd, lab, poodle, border collie, sheep dog, pit bull, doberman, wolf, direwolf, husky, cat, St. Bernard, Shitzu, husky, golden retriever, or any other animal that needs attention, walking, or just a friend, give me a call! Looking forward to making new furry friends!
About: I love animals and have a ton of experience! I will put your fur baby above my own any day of the week! Reach out when you need some extra hands to take care of you pet! I am a full time student and I am on the volleyball team so managing practice time around the pet is important but very easy to work around. I go on daily walks with my dog. He’s a border collie mix. His name is Byrd and she is super sweet. I live in an apartment complex with doggy parks and a dog wash station!
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.
“Savannah was incredible! She showed up on time and spent extra time on her walk with Layka. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future. In her meet and greet (introduction) she asked very pointed questions and had a great follow up. She treats your pet like her own and shows you right away that she cares about your animal.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, etc... since I was very little. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am a graduate nursing student at MSU looking for some extra side gigs! I adore all kinds of animals. I am always happy to go let your pet out or take them for mid-day walks, or watch them overnight for weekends away - just reach out to ask about availability! I love walking, running, and hiking around local trails, adore trips to dog parks, and general play time. I absolutely adore all animals - especially dogs and cats!

About: I have been spending time and caring for dogs for over 20 years. I love puppies, elderly dogs and all ages in between! I recently had to say a very sad farewell to my 13 year old dog Boonie. I rescued him from a jungle in Guam and he was my best and trusted friend. He was reactive to dogs due to his life experiences around other wild dogs. As such, I became skilled at navigating walking him in environments where he could have the walks he deserved without worry. All dogs deserve this! For those active dogs who don't need extra care while walking and can adventure where other dogs roam free, I love to go on hikes! I have plenty of free time Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm for pet care. I am only caring for pets during weekdays for now. I am happy to come to your home for drop in visits and walks with your pup and will follow any schedule and routine that makes your dog comfortable and happy.

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.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 Years old and have had experience with both young and senior pets. I was responsible for training some of my own family's pets, and I enjoy adapting to basic training with puppies or providing gentle and patient care for older pets who need extra support. I am very reliable with feeding schedules, medications, and updates so you can feel fully confidnet you pet is in good hands! Pet care fits into my routine by being something I attentively prioritize and plan around. I structure my schedule so I can give pets full attention during visits and walks. I am flexible with all times throughout the day, whether that be mornings, afternoons, or evenings. This helps me to accommodate feeding schedules, exercise needs, and check-ins. I prioritize building my day to be reliable so each pet receives consistent and effective care. When I am caring for a client's pet, I follow an established routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure under my care. I prioritize important aspects of schedules, including feedings, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I keep homes clean, respect the spaces of those I am hired by, and love to provide regular photo updates so owners know their pet is doing well. My overall goal is to keep a calm, familiar environment that reduces stress for pets.
“Hannah was extremely valuable as a last minute reservation for dog walking! She communicated very well and treated our pups with all the attention and love. Would definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve worked with various animals for over 10 years, and in that time I have also pet sit for friends. I am comfortable handling a wide range of pets. My rabbit is 10 years young and thriving, and my cat is almost 3 and rambunctious. I am experienced in dog, cat, or other senior care. I have also helped friends with socializing foster puppies. I am confident in giving oral medication as well! I just graduated college with a degree in animal science. I recently picked up a job during weekdays in Trumbull, but I can still walk your dog/watch your pet! Generally, I am free: Sat/Sun - Anytime M-F - Extremely early morning or after 3:30pm I will always provide fresh water when I come in and before I leave. If the pet makes a mess I will immediately dispose of it, however if any part of the mess was assumed to be ingested I will let the owner know as soon as possible. Should the pet use the bathroom in the house I will clean and sanitize the area and dispose of the waste outside. The pet will have my full attention and treated with respect during my time with it.

About: I've had dogs since I was young, and got to raise my pup when I was in high school. I love being around animals and giving love, attention, and care. I love to be outside with dogs, whether is be going on a walk, throwing a ball, or enjoying some fresh air together. I'm currently a student at MSU and work twice a week at a workout studio. But my schedule is pretty open in afternoon and on the weekends. I have plenty of time each day to go on walks and care for your pet. I am attentive on making sure your pet is well cared for while I am with them. I am responsible and reliable when following expectations or specific rules and routines you have for your pet. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away.
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!
