I am an avid lover of animals and have been since I was a young child. I have had family dogs my entire life and have helped many friends and family train and care for their dogs as well. In addition, I have babysat children for several years with pets in the household with positive feedback. In the past, I would walk dogs in rural areas and hiking trails in the nearby area. With your dog, I would walk them on dog friendly trails in and around Bozeman, and take them to Cooper Park as well as areas that are familiar to them. He or she would be able to play fetch and/or socialize with other dogs to ensure adequate stimulation. Even indoors, I ensure that the dog is entertained in a contained, safe environment. I also make sure the animal is let out fairly frequently for potty breaks. I treat each dog as if they are a member of the family and care for them as I would my own. Currently I work part time (usually 15-20 hours/week) and most or all my days are free to care for your pet. In addition, I am comfortable and open to spending the night with your dog and caring for them around the clock. I have an adventurous and caring personality and I would love the opportunity to have fun with your dog!
