Hey, pup-parents! I’m a Helena native with a serious passion for all things DOG! Training, behavior, nutrition, you name it. I have offered my space on Rover as a cozy retreat and a home-away-from-home for over five years. Whether you are enjoying an extended vacation, need a break for a night out, or are stuck in a meeting when your fluffy babe needs a potty break, you can be sure we are having a lot of fun!

Lily was wonderful. I would recommend her 100 times over. She asked all the questions a dog parent wants to hear and took great care of our girl. She sent pictures and videos of our dog running around in their backyard. I could tell our pup was well cared for and will be booking again if Lily is available.

Schedule

I work full time, but I work from home regularly and I have a flexible schedule for drop off, pick up, and mid-day potty breaks/zoomies. For drop-ins: I work near most locations in Helena and can make afternoon visits, so your pup will never have to "hold it!" while you are stuck in a meeting and can't make it home at lunch. My husband and I are total homebodies, rarely vacation, and are in town for almost all holidays.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priority, so we stick to a strict safety protocol when your pup stays with me. If your pup can be iffy with other dogs, has health or behavioral issues, *please tell me*. No judgement or criticism here - it is incredibly important that I know for the safety and comfort of your dog(s) and mine. I'd even be happy to help you work on training! If your pup is happiest flying solo, I am always happy to accommodate – we have plenty of space and love to give! Some important notes: ♡ I require your pup to be up to date on all vaccinations (I ask that you provide these documents) ♡ All areas of my home are sanitized between guests. ♡ All dogs are separated when unsupervised - indoor and outdoor. ♡ All new guests are on-leash during hikes, until I can guarantee their recall and general obedience are bomb-proof.

Pets

A typical day

I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes and have experience with high drive dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation. I love to watch all that drive and energy go into something productive! Please let me know anything you're working on with your pups - going out of town doesn't mean your training needs to be put on hold! Your dog(s) will enjoy daily walks, hikes, obedience work, tug & fetch, and more! If your pup is a couch potato, a senior, or has special needs, we will enjoy age/weight appropriate exercise, brain games, and/or a movie and snuggles on the couch!
