Pet care experience
Use Promo code to get $20 off your first Rover booking: CHRISK51083. I currently have 2 cats- Cali & Bobby and a 94 lb puppy, Scout! I love all animals and would love to help you take care of your furry friends while you are away. DROP-IN VISITS and WALKS: If your pup loves to walk, we can take a short ride to a local park for a stroll or if they'd prefer we can walk in your neighborhood. If they just need a quick potty break and a snack, I can do that too. Do your kitties need a drop in visit for food and poop scooping and petting? I'm your girl. I'm available for other animals as well. I've had dogs and cats all my life, I've also had chickens, rabbits, horses, goats and honeybees! DOGGIE DAYCARE: I'm offering doggie daycare during the spring/summer/fall. Secure, FENCED 1+ ACRE BACKYARD! Your pup can come/go inside & out via a doggie door or back door as needed all day (Tiny dogs will not come/go unsupervised due to eagles in the area but will still receive plenty of outdoor visits). I accept ONE DOG at a time, so rest assured that your dog and mine will be the only ones here. This is not a dog kennel with lots of chaos; it is supervised play, walks and quiet rest based on your pup's energy level. We have a fenced yard and I work from home Mon-Fri so your pup will never be left alone. I provide 100% supervision, my goal is to keep your pup safe and return them to you tired and happy! My dog Scout is a wonderful ambassador to all pups. She loves to romp around in the backyard and would love to show a furry friend around. Scout loves everyone and everything, and is very passive and submissive. We'll tailor your pup's stay around their temperament and energy level. If they don't need that much walking or are not good on a leash, we'll just hang in the back yard and play. If they are high energy we welcome several short walks and a long walk at lunch plus plenty of backyard play. * NO AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR WILL BE TOLERATED. Safety is my number one priority. If your pup has a tendency toward aggressive behavior or is not properly socialized, please do not book my service. I can recommend a great kennel in the area where your pup will be safe and you can still enjoy your day. PICKUP/DROP OFF is available for doggie daycare for an additional charge, please see pricing. *Preferred Doggie Daycare hours are between 7-5, but I am flexible. Half days (4 hours or less) at half price are also available. If you are over an hour late for the agreed upon pickup time, a late fee will be assessed at $20 per hour. Let's discuss your plans for the day and make sure we're a good fit.
Reviews
Chris and her husband Tony were wonderful sitters for our 13 year old Rika and 4 year old Loki. My wife has always been hesitant to let strangers watch our dogs, so this is the first time we used Rover. We felt good about Chris going in from just reading the reviews, but immediately felt comfortable leaving the dogs with Chris and Tony when we met them. They enabled us to enjoy a wonderful day at Glacier NP worry-free. They even informed us at drop off that the Going to the Sun road was closed two days earlier (which threw our itinerary out the window) and suggested alternate hikes - which were amazing. They took the dogs on multiple walks, and played fetch with high-energy Loki. Our dogs also got along well with their dog Scout. And the updates, and photos at the end of the day confirmed the wonderful day our dogs had! Thank you Chris and Tony!
Awesome Rover! Nicest family….
Alpine had a great time staying with Chris and her pup Scout. Chris took tons of pictures and gave a full update as to what Alpine had been doing all day.
Chris is the type of pet sitter we all want. Someone who does such a good job, we stop fretting about our pets and start enjoying our vacation. Thank you Chris.

Safety, trust & environment
There's no end to great, safe places for a walk and sniff here in the Flathead Valley. Kitties can count on plenty of pets, if they agree, of course! I understand how difficult it is to leave your fur babies with someone but rest assured that I will treat them as one of my own and take excellent care of them. Safety is my number one priority.
Home
Information Chris K. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know about your pet's disposition and we can tailor our visit based on that. All daycare pups are supervised at all times. My pup is often finding mischief- my landscaping can attest to this, so I understand how quickly they can find trouble. Is your pup laid back and more happy napping on the couch or high energy and in need of multiple walks and play time? If they are outside lovers, then I move my workstation to the kitchen which overlooks the back yard.
A typical day
Scout and I frequently visit the Columbia Falls River Park, the Whitefish Dog Park and walk around the Whitefish neighborhoods. Rails to Trails, Herron Park, Whitefish Trails are also great options for weekend adventures. Any walks outside of your or my neighborhood would depend on your dog's disposition and leash skills.
