Training, pet sitting, and fun!

Pet care experience

Ciao! My name is Willow, I have been pet sitting for 14 years, and been a veterinary technician for 6. I am on my way into veterinary school august 2025! Your pet will always be safe, healthy, loved, and cared for when I am around. I am a veteran K-9 handler so I am well rounded in training animals. I am great with medical requests and special needs! Please reach out with anything you need.

Willow was fantastic- Remi loved her! She was thorough, professional, communicative, playful, sent lots of pictures and updates, and gave Remi the best few days ever! Highly recommend!!

Willow and Elwyn took great care of our pup over the weekend. Drop off and pickup were quick and convenient. They kept us updated frequently with pictures. When we picked him up he was tuckered out from all the fun he was having. Would highly recommend Willow and Elwyn to anyone in the valley.

Finnegan’s stay with Willow & Elwyn was wonderful. Communication was constant, I received great photos of Finnegan & they were extremely flexible for pick up and drop off times when plans changed. Would def recommend!

Willow sent me updates and pictures throughout the week. I kept extending my time in Glacier and she was so accommodating keeping my pup. Thank you Willow!

Information Willow G. would like to know about your pet

We do day trips to the lake (on a Leash) or fun trips for extra costs. We have snuggle times for extra costs, doggy ice creams for costs. And so much more.
