Dog Handler 10+ years

Pet care experience

Hello! Are you working long hours while Rufus waits for you at home? Let your pooch come hang out with me and his soon-to-be fur friends! I take my pups on hikes/walks in and around the Billings area to stimulate your pup's mind and exercise their body. Check out my page on Instagram for additional pictures and videos of all the pups that I look after (mutt_hikes). I am a trustworthy Montana gal with a lot of dog/animal handling experience. Professionally, I’ve worked as a K9 handler in the Navy and as a trainer at a dog boarding facility. I've completed several dog psychology courses within my professional experience and it’s a subject I love to continue to learn about. Personally, I have handled, cuddled, and trained numerous different kinds of dogs my entire life. ALSO, I love kitties! I have a flexible schedule and would love to meet up with you and your pets to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you! *UPDATE* I am unable to take any new pups with leash and/or recall issues at this time. Thank you for your understanding.

Sara is amazing! She's had our dogs for daycare before, but we just did our first 3-night boarding stay. They came back so happy, and I felt so good about leaving them with her! Lots of fun photos, excellent communication -- I couldn't ask for more.

Sara did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy at a very busy time of year. Would absolutely trust her to watch our girl again!

Sara was amazing from our first point of contact! She responds quickly and answered all of our questions leaving us feeling good about the care our dog would receive. I'm pretty sure our dog didn't want to come home as Sara went above and beyond to create an environment any dog would love!! The proof was in the pictures she sent on walks, pool time and play time with other dogs. I would highly recommend her, and would love to use her again!!
