I will treat your pet like my own!
Pet care experience
There has never been a time in my life that I didn't have a pet. As a child, we have so many dreams and passions that come and go but animals have always stayed for me. Since I have been old enough to work, I have been happiest pet sitting for friends and family. I have experience in dog boarding, walking, training puppies, and administering medication. I have a chihuahua that was hit by a car and had to undergo extensive surgery where I had to care for her 24 hours a day for weeks after. We worked daily on her physical therapy (swimming) and I had to administer medication every few hours. I now also have two German shepherds puppies that I have trained myself- and have learned a lot about training puppies through this. I feed my German shepherds a raw meat diet and am well educated in pet nutrition. I am happy to accommodate any special diets. I also have experience handling dogs that have poor training and social issues of many sorts. I am a photographer full time in Missoula- but work mostly from home. When I am away from home, It is never for more than an hour or two at a time. My schedule is very flexible and I can be available almost any time. I live in a 3 bedroom home with a decent sized fenced in yard. There are a total of two humans, 3 dogs, and 1 cat in this home. It's full of love! My dogs and I go on 2 hikes a day minimum and always make time for a good training sessions too! My chihuahua, cocoa, is getting old and usually just keeps to herself but doesn't mind others. My 9 month German shepherd, Hazel, is a gentle Giant and loves dogs of all sizes. She can play with any dog- even the ones that don't want to play with her! Rhaegar, my 3 month old German shepherd, loves every dog he comes in contact with too! He LOVES to play and wrestle but knows how to read signals when other dogs aren't interested.
Reviews
August is an amazing guy! He has the ability to train, board, go on hikes and does all of it with extreme love! He has watched our baby (which we don’t take lightly as in who gets the opportunity) and she came home happy and healthy! He is an avid hiker, and knows all of the trails around here better than most. He will make sure your fur baby is taken care of and looked after. We will be going with him for training as well!
I couldnt think of a more responsible and truly loving person to take care of my fur babies. I raise German shepherds and find myself being very picky when leaving my babies in the hands of others. August has it all, in one package! You cant go wrong when needing any kind of assistance for you and pup(s). Thank you August!

Information August P. would like to know about your pet
Does you pet get along with other dogs and cats? Is your pet crate trained and if not where do they usually sleep? Are they food agressive? Do they have any allergies? What is their secret weapon (ball, stick, treat)?
A typical day
We hike all around Missoula in off leash and leashed locations. We especially love the dog park and anywhere we can play with friends! My pups also can't go a day without a few games of fetch to top it all off. :) We are happy to make any adjustments to what your pet needs.
