Cat Sitting in Merriman

“Trena was a wonderful pet and house sitter. She took great care of my cat Emma and kept me informed throughout my trip of how Emma was doing. I will definitely ask for her the next time I need a sitter. Thanks, Trena!”

“Autumn was willing to do a meet and greet which was nice for us to meet each other and our pups to get to know her! She did everything I asked her to do while we were gone, she was on time, and kept us updated with pictures. Will book again!”

About: Hello! I’m a dog trainer who recently relocated to Bozeman, and I’m here to help care for your pets as I establish my business and get to know the community! I have a large, fenced backyard and two friendly, playful dogs. I’ve done independent, private dog training for the past two years and am excited to turn it into my full-time career. I have apprenticed under Peak Dog Training in NM, fostered and rehabilitated dogs with behavioral issues, and worked with animal shelters in WY, UT, and NM. Let me know what kind of care you’re looking for- I’m excited to meet you and your dogs! I am blessed to have a flexible schedule! If your dog is boarding with me, I will always be there to supervise and give them lots of love. Your dog will live alongside me and my dogs, joining in on our day-to-day activities. My lessons outside of my home last an hour, so your dog won’t be unattended longer than 1.5hrs. I will often bring dogs with me to lessons if they seem like they will enjoy it, and on any outings my dogs and I take! I don’t kennel dogs or separate them from me unless they enjoy sleeping in a kennel or if the owner requests it. I have a dog camera, so if I ever need to leave your dog for a short period of time, I will be updated if they are barking or uncomfortable. Typically the dogs I board are with me 24/7, and I treat them like one of my own dogs. I have a large, fully fenced in back yard and two very friendly dogs your pup can play with! I will do supervised dog intros and never leave your dog unattended. We take lots of hikes and walks, so if your dog is able to do that we would bring them along! I supervise all meetings with new people or other dogs based on your dog’s personality and your preferences.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life, I grew up with dogs. I started watching my neighbors dogs around 9 years old and helped my aunt who’s been doing Rover for years whenever she needed. My parents got a puppy a few years ago and I practically potty trained her, taught her basic commands along with learning how to properly walk on a leash. I’m currently working seasonally with part time hours, I work Monday through Thursday and would be available most weekends and have time throughout the week for walks or check in’s. I’m also available for most of October and November if you’re planning a vacation during that time! My partner normally works different times than me and he helps out if the dog needs taken care of while I’m working. I have space to easily fit a crate into my house and I live walking distance to parks and an open backyard for your dog to be able to run around and play.

About: I live in downtown Belgrade with my husband. We have a large fenced in yard at .4 acres and a doggie door. We have two wonderful dogs; a mini Aussie and golden retriever pit lab mix. I have worked with children and animals since I was old enough to handle the responsibility and started volunteering at Heart of the Valley animal shelter in Belgrade, MT. I grew up in a typical suburb in St. Louis, Missouri and always helped watch neighbors pets and children and have done it through college, post college, and presently speaking. I am extremely reliable and timely. I treat others loved ones as my own. I don’t have any allergies to pets, dander, etc. I have regular clients through word of mouth and am looking to add a few to my roster. I love watching all types of animals! I work for myself and make my own schedule. I have a lot of flexibility and love spending time with animals and being outdoors. My dogs are very friendly and love to play. I am very active. If you request house sitting I can’t be there 24/7. I enjoy hiking everyday and hope your dogs can come with me. I understand some folks want their dogs to stay at their home I just want to share I will still need to be gone parts of the day taking care of my dogs as well as other daily life tasks. I prefer boarding at my home overall but can accommodate house sitting. I have a separate, personal, insurance plan for pet daycare & boarding, with expanded coverage for client pets. I am happy to share my certificate including all limits for general liability, vet care, human medical coverage, damage to property, and more. I also know how to perform CPR on pets.

“We took the 8 hour Wildlife tour with Elijah and it was great!! We ended up being the only ones that signed up, so we got a private tour and saw lots and lots of animals in Lamar Valley and beyond. Elijah was well prepared, provided a nice lunch and was fun to spend the day with. I would highly recommend this tour!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a little kid, love all animals and treat them all with respect and love as if they were my own, I used to train dogs and I job shadowed my vet for 2 years so if anything happens I am more than capable and comfortable to take care of it if you are! I always have time for pet care, pet sitting, anything that needs done that you can’t do I’m always available to do, I love animals and treat with respect I take them on walks all the time, make sure they don’t do anything to get hurt, I will always put the pets safety first, check their food and make sure it’s the right stuff

“Erica did such a stellar job taking care of our kitties while we were camping! Erica is super mature and clearly competent, which made a big difference in helping me feel completely confident both cats would be fine even though we were out of service while we were gone. When we got home, the kitties were calm and everything was clean and in perfect order. I highly recommend Erica and would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dog with her as well if we were taking a dog-free trip!”

About: I have owned and cared for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, ducks, pigs, chickens, and budgies. I was invloved in 4H for 3 years and have always been an animal lover! I’m comfortable with training and medication administration for both dogs and horses, and always take extra long walks! I'm currently going into my senior year at MSU, and am in summer classes. I'm available in the mornings, midday and nights to drop in or house sit. I greatly value respect and responsibility, so caring for your pet as you would is important to me. Following your directions for caring for your pet is my go-to, as I believe that’s the best way to ensure your companion feels secure and comfortable. I’m very active and am sure to exercise and play with your pet often throughout the day.

About: My family has always had dogs around. I’ve also house sat for people with multiple dogs as well when I was in high school. I would do potty breaks with some play time or full week stays at houses. I love my animals so much! I also have grown up with performance horses and am a big animal person in general. I’ve had labs, golden retrievers, and pit bulls growing up. From picky eaters to timid and shy, I’ve dealt with lots of different types of dogs. I am currently a part time student at MSU. Most weekends I am free as well as Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I have class most of the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays but am free in the evenings. As I live in a rental while I am at school I cannot keep animals at my house overnight but during the day is fine if you would like for me to watch your pup for the day at my house. We have a small yard but it is not fully fenced in so I would take them out on a leash to go potty and for a walk.

“I really appreciated that Allie sent me daily photos of my cat and kept me updated on his activities! He was very happy and she was very responsive and respectful. Great pet sitter!”

About: I grew up around animals with horses, dogs, and several barn cats. I have helped take care of neighbors' pets since I was very little, feeding, hauling hay, or taking dogs for walks. I also worked for a ranch caring for llamas and helping maintain the owner's property. Lastly, I was in 4-H for about 9 years where I raised sheep and pigs, something that taught me responsibility and gave me a strong work ethic and ability to work with all types of animals. This passion for animals ultimately led me to get a degree in wildlife biology at the University of Montana. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM on week days. I am free after 4:30 for drop-in visits, feeding, or walks. I am very flexible and willing to work with you to provide what is needed! However, I am unable to do overnight boarding or house sits. Unfortunately, I will not be able to care for pets overnight. However, I am happy to make daily visits to care for your animals. Whether you need help feeding, need someone to play with them while you are gone, or need your pets taken out for walks I would love to help care for your critters. I am good around dogs and cats and also have experience working with horses and livestock. I know every animal has their own personality and needs so I'm happy to work with you to provide the best care possible.

About: Hello, I go by Hilton (middle name). I live in Bozeman, Montana but cover anywhere within 100 miles for sittings! I've had pets for most of my life. I do not have one now, because I take care of so many sweet pups. I have 100+ hours of volunteer work at animal shelters. I understand how they act, react, and each pet has its own personality! That’s what’s so beautiful about them! I do not mind pit bulls or any kind of dog/animal as long as everything is done safely. I have time day and night to walk, care, and really give the pets the love they deserve. That’s what I’m here for. Thank you! Anytime, my work schedule is very flexible. Available 24/7 day and night any animal any time. I will give your pet all the attention they need. I have a small snow removal business. Unless it is snowing, this is my primary job/focus. I like to give your pets as much of my time as possible! I care for your pets based on your expectations. I will only accept one job at a time, so I don't have to split my attention. I can't be 2 places at once!

About: I've had pets my entire life, with ranging energy levels and health needs. I have also done a ton of dog and cat sitting, both in my own home and overnight stays. I currently work a pretty set schedule of 6 am - 2 pm, so I'm able to take them out/feed in the morning and then do longer walks in the afternoon. I'm pretty active, so any hikes or outdoor activities I can absolutely bring them with me if they're car-comfortable ! I want to make your pet as comfortable around me as possible, so whatever your normal routine is, I want to stick to that as much as I can!

About: Growing up with a mom as a veterinarian and being around animals all day every day for the past 18 years has impacted my love for animals! I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats of all breeds and that have different types of medical issues since, I was young. Rescuing dogs is something I am passionate about. These love bugs are the outcasts no one will give a chance. Working with these rescues has taught me how to help dogs into being comfortable and not so scared. Seeing dogs be happy and being able to help them enjoy life is a very lovley thing to be able to contribute to❤️ We have rescued all types of dogs from all different ages; from a puppy to a senior love bug❤️ With my college semester being set as a perfect scheduale to have many breaks in, pet sitting is the perfect thing to do with my time off! I had completed most of high school virtually, so with that option pet sitting was the best way to be able to hang out and take care of animals and get school done.🤗 I personally would pet sit at the clients home since my cat at home doesn’t do too well with new furry friends! I can stay consecutively overnight watching your animals, or do check ins, or even walk or let your fur babies out if you have a busy day!🐶🐱❤️

About: I have been a dog lover, my whole life. My daughter, Maggie is actually named after my first dog! We have a three year-old great Dane mix that loves having friends over! If your dog would not love that we also have an outdoor kennel we offer in our home, one on one dog sitting and outdoor kennel stays in the front pasture. Our five horses are on site. We are five minutes from Gardiner at the north entrance to Yellowstone. The next closest kennel is 40 minutes north of us one way. Our property houses for vacation cabin rentals- LittleTrailCreekCabins. I am on site pretty much every day. I may be doing yard work or cleaning one of our vacation rentals. I occasionally will drive to Gardiner or Livingston. We have the outdoor kennel in the front pasture. It has a partial roof and fenced in area. We also have dog treats inside the garage or if your pop would like they are welcome to hang out with me and my dog for the day which could include doing yardwork, going for a walk, going for a ride in the car, or at one of our vacation cabins. I am a retired nurse of 25 years.
