Small girl, big heart!
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, bovines, 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. 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
Bailee was great!! Our cat loved her. She communicated regularly and she left our house in excellent shape. She's very reliable! We highly recommend her. Thank you, Bailee!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Bailee did an absolutely amazing job watching our two French bulldogs during our vacation! We had her house sit our dogs for a week. This is the second time Bailee has watched our dogs, and she does an amazing job each time! She is very professional and kind. She left our house cleaner than she found it, and was very respectful of our house. We highly recommend Bailee for any of her services.
Bailee is such a gem! This was her second time watching our cat and house, this time for a longer trip. She kept us in the loop with photos and updates, and even shoveled for us after a big storm. Highly recommend her!
Bailee is awesome - she took great care of both our cat and house over a long weekend that we were away. She went above and beyond and left our house pristine when we returned!

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 attacked by a very aggressive dog as a child, so I still feel uncomfortable around very hostile animals (excessive growling, barred teeth, snapping/lunging movements). 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!
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 college student, so I am fairly busy in the mornings and early afternoon. However, I do have plenty of time at lunch and in the late afternoon/evening 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.
