Pet care experience
**PLEASE READ IMPORTANT NOTES BELOW ON PRICING** I grew up on a black angus ranch here in MT and have been an avid outdoor enthusiast since I was 5 or 6–I’ve cared for horses, frogs, cows, fish, cats, dogs, and even a few birds. I also spent a semester caring for a pair of adorable rabbits! I have some training/medication administration abilities, though I wouldn’t call myself an “expert”—I do know cat and dog CPR, have taken care of special needs dogs, and have experience administering injections, drops, pastes, and pills to a variety of animals, if the need arises. ** PRICING INFORMATION ** Overnight hours are 6 pm-8 am. I include one midday drop-in free for subsequent nightly bookings, but if more frequent visits are desired, I charge my drop-in rate per additional drop-in or by each additional hour desired ($12/hour, outside of 8 am-6 pm). If you're interested in all-day care (9 am-5 pm), I charge $80/day, and constant (24/7) care is $150/day. However, I'm not always available for these options due to my college schedule, so please reach out beforehand! Additionally, I charge per animal/animal type per visit—for example, an overnight stay for 2 dogs and 2 cats would be $107 ($55 nightly rate for first dog + $12 for additional dog + $30 nightly rate for first cat + $10 for additional cat). I don’t have a fenced yard, but live near Pioneer, Clinton, Ramey, and Hill park, as well as Bompart Hill, Mount Ascension, and Mount Helena trailheads—all places I’m more than happy to take your pup to! However, I have a very territorial black cat and a lease that forbids dogs, so unfortunately, I cannot sit/board any dogs in my home at this time.

Reviews
Thankful for Bailee’s willingness to come take Olive for a nice walk on short notice.
Bailee is a top notch dog/house sitter! She’s taken care of our 2 frenchies multiple times usually for a week or longer! Very caring of our dogs and makes sure that they get to play and get attention each and every day! She’s definitely our 1 and only go-to for dog sitting each time!
Bailee was a great cat sitter! We got daily pictures of Nikky with great updates and the house and everything looked great when we got home! Will definitely book again!
5th time booking Bailee, and for good reason! She takes very good care of our two frenchies when we’re away. She’s very good with our dogs and is also very respectful of our home! We utilize her house sitting for 7+ consecutive while we go on vacation and have never had any issues! Thanks as always, Bailee!

Safety, trust & environment
I do my best to be as conscientious and attentive as I possibly can, both with the animal and in the client’s home—I make sure to let animals out on a regular schedule for potty breaks, play with them as often as possible, and pay close attention to their demeanor/health while I’m with them. I try to leave the client’s home as clean/cleaner than how I found it, and make sure to carefully adhere to all guidelines and instructions left to me by the client. On walks, I make sure to pay attention to age, fitness level, and breed so to not over/under exert them, and try to choose quiet parks/trails to avoid potential conflict with other dogs, people, or vehicles.
Information Bailee F. would like to know about your pet
I was bitten by an aggressive dog as a child, so I still feel uncomfortable around hostile animals. However, I understand a lot of dogs are naturally excited and nervous around strangers, so a bit of that behavior initially is expected—but I don’t do well with persistently aggressive animals! Additionally, I’m a fairly petite person, so if walks of larger breeds are required on-leash and they are prone to forceful tugging/pulling, I may not be an appropriate fit as I have been pulled off my feet and injured before.
A typical day
Hiking, running, walking, swimming; you name it—I love to be active and outside. I love to play fetch and tug-of-war with my dog back home, and often take her on long walks/runs. In Helena, there are plenty of fun parks/trails I can take your furry companion to, and lots of fun places to explore!

Availability
I’m a recent college graduate and licensed RN, but am currently still in school obtaining my BSN. Although my ultimate goal is to apply to the post-bachelors residency program out at the VA Hospital, it’s not a guarantee I will be accepted—this makes my schedule/availability after July 2nd pretty unpredictable, so please keep that in mind for booking requests made months in advance. Currently, I have plenty of time to care for your pet, and am more than happy to do overnight care if needed. My weekends are flexible with advanced notice as well, and I can definitely take your pup on my hiking/adventuring trips if that sounds like something they’d enjoy.
