Your Dog’s Home-Away-From-Home
About Me: Hi, I’m Shauna, a dedicated dog lover from the Willow Glen neighborhood in Kalispell! I live on a spacious 1.26 acre of land with a securely fenced backyard, ideal for dogs to run, play, and relax. My 8-year-old Chihuahua and my mom’s 10-year-old Yorkie are my furry sidekicks, and I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing home-away-from-home experience for your pup. Inspired by countless hours of César Millan’s Dog Whisperer, I use his positive techniques to encourage balanced behaviors and gently redirect unwanted ones with healthy rules, boundaries and limitations. I’m experienced with dogs’ needs, from managing separation anxiety to maintaining feeding routines to administering medications. My pet-proofed home has no toxic plants, and I offer a cozy space for naps and play. I can send daily photo and video updates to keep you connected. As a background-checked sitter, I prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. Whether it’s kennel-free dog boarding, walking, or house sitting in Kalispell, I’m here to give your dog tailored care. Contact me to discuss your pup’s needs and arrange a meet-and-greet! Services: Boarding (Limited Basis): $80/night (includes lots of supervised playtime outside, feeding and cuddles). Drop-In Visits: $25/30-minute visit (feeding, potty breaks, playtime). House Sitting: $75/night (care in your home for 1 house pet. Cost for additional pets negotiable). Dog Walking: $25/30-minute walk (1–2 dogs). Daycare: $45/day (drop-off care for small/medium/large dogs up to 9 hours. Overtime rate $20/hr.) Experience: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, like Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, German Pointers, English Pointers, German Shepherds, Labs, lovable mutts, cats and even horses, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I apply César Millan’s techniques to maintain calm, balanced behaviors and ensure a happy stay. I’m comfortable with special diets and reinforcing training. Availability: See schedule for availability. Boarding available on weekends and select weekdays (book early for holidays). Drop-ins, walks, and daycare offered Monday–Friday, 6 AM–9 PM. House sitting by request. Safety: My acre of land features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed for safety. I send daily updates and follow your pup’s routine to keep them comfortable. My mom and 23 year old son, both avid dog lovers, live with me and will be here for those short times I have to be away.

Ratings and reviews
Shauna was super responsive, had great communication and sent me plenty of pictures of Ollie playing throughout the day. Will be using her services regularly!
Shauna took such great care of our pups. She was very friendly and thoughtful and responsive throughout the whole process. We would definitely use her again!
She took VERY good care of our pup and was incredibly gracious, flexible, and communicative.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend Deanna enough! She took such amazing care of my dog while I was away. She sent me so many pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind because I always knew he was happy, safe, and having a great time. This was actually the first place he’s ever stayed where he didn’t have social anxiety, and I truly believe it’s because Deanna and her family made him feel completely at home. That meant the world to me. If you’re nervous about leaving your dog in someone else’s care, don’t be. Deanna genuinely treats every dog like they’re her own, and it absolutely shows. I will 100% be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my boy! ❤️🐾
We couldn't be happier with the care our 3 dogs received! In need of a last minute boarding arrangement, she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. From the moment we dropped our dogs out, we knew they were in good hands. She watched them over the chaotic 4th of July weekend and kept them calm and cared for and we are so appreciative.
Shauna and Deanna were both so kind and welcoming to our dogs. The fenced yard is huge and perfect for a fun day and all the dogs played together so well. We loved the photos and updates from Shauna while we were away. Couldn't ask for better care! Thank you!!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As I mentioned in my bio, my 1.26-acre property features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed with no toxic plants. I send daily updates via text and follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and safe, kennel-free for comfort.
Pets
A typical day
We will spend a lot of time outside, weather permitting, as I have a large back yard, fenced and secure. In the house, the dogs will be in the living room and allowed on the couch and chair, as long as you allow it.
