Dog Boarding Merriman

“My dog has never been so happy with a Sitter before. Sarah took impeccable care of my fluff and sent lots of photos. She is a 10 out of 10 Sitter.”

“Ashley was a fantastic communicator and sent pupdates. I was very comfortable leaving Nova with her. They did so many fun activities. I highly recommend Ashley and would definitely go with her again.”

“Christina took my dog for an awesome hike with a dog-friend. He was very happy and didn't want to leave when I picked him up. Christina forwarded me some great pictures while I was gone of my dog and his new pal. I would definitely use her as sitter and recommend her to anyone.”

“Traci and family took very good care of my boys 🐶🐶. She sent pictures of our 2 dogs every day, including after I left and they settled in. They seemed pretty chill when I picked them up, so I knew they had been doing ok. I would definitely recommend Traci to anyone looking for a small dog pet sitter!”

“My dog is very active so it was great that Cait and James had a family of 5 dogs to keep my pup active. They were also great with communication and sending pics.”

“Lauren and Tay were great! Our dog loved them and they sent us sweet updates while we were away. We were just passing through Bozeman so they were very helpful providing recommendations as well! Definitely would recommend!”

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own - offering love, patience, and gentle attention in every moment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cozy cuddles, I make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Kindness and trust are my priorities, as I struggled trusting someone with my own pet for a long time! Here to answer any questions or any special requests you may have. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, I am able to care for your pet on week days and weekends. I really try to prioritize time with your pet so they’re not alone, I will bring my book and sit with your pet for the allotted time, or whatever toy request! I will be very transparent with the times I am with your pet & send photos! I personally love walks as well. This does vary based on the service, however, in home I have a large fenced in yard that is regularly cared for and scoped out. We also have a very walkable neighborhood, that was utilize daily. If your pet does any tricks, I love to provide some enrichment as well for them. I also love sitting with them and providing care however makes them most comfortable.

“Allie was absolutely amazing! She was so quick to respond and was able to dog-sit Jasper last minute on a holiday weekend. I am so appreciative of Allie and her dog Walter!”

Brittany R.

“Holly was great with my aussie, Draper! 😊 She clearly loves dogs. She practiced great safety in feeding separate, having separate areas if needed, having AC and access to water throughout the home so her dog and my dog could both enjoy their time together! Her puppy is sweet and had great manners with my dog. I was super confident my pup would be well taken care of while I was out. Would book again!”

“Erika was great again! She's very professional and flexible with pick up/drop off. Her yard has great space for dogs, and she has no problem managing serveral dogs there at once. My dog Winnie has tons of fun with her! I really appreciated a video she sent from the dog bus with each dog looking comfortable and seat belted into their own bus bench.”

“I cannot recommend Joules highly enough! She was absolutely fantastic with my dog while I was away. Joules is not only charismatic but also incredibly attentive and caring. She sent daily updates with wonderful pictures that truly brightened my day and assured me that my sweet dog was in great hands. My dog had medical needs that had to be cared for while I was away, and Joules followed all instructions meticulously and made sure my dog received the care and attention necessary. I felt completely at ease knowing that Joules was looking after my pup. Overall, Joules exceeded my expectations in every way possible. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is not only competent but also genuinely cares for your pet, Joules is the best choice. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Joules, for everything!”

About: Since I can remember I have been around dogs, cats, and birds. I have recently adopted my own dog named Harley who is stranger reactive so I am very comfortable dealing with going at the dog's/cat's pace of comfortability. I love the outdoors and exploring with my dog as she slowly learns to trust others and new environments. Long walks and cuddles are my priority while you are away. I am currently working remotely, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! My work schedule is super flexible and easy to change if there are any last minute changes. Fenced in yard with room to play ball. Lots of room for playing or just enjoying the sun in the back yard. Triggers are blocked off by trees and the fence.

“Finn provided excellent care for my dog, Titan! A major perk was the large, well-maintained backyard with solid fencing—absolutely perfect for a husky who loves being outside in cold weather while still staying safe and secure. I’d highly recommend Finn, especially for cold-loving dogs.”

Luke S.

“Madeline was wonderful! We received daily updates and photos of our happy dog!! I really appreciated the communication especially being our first experience with Rover. We can’t thank Madeline enough for taking such great care of Murphy while we were away!”

About: I've been a dog owner my entire life and have taken care of friends and neighbor's dogs for as long as I can remember. I thoroughly enjoy dogs [and cats] and will show your pets the same amount of love I would show my own! I work a hybrid flexible schedule. I can be available when necessary and will happily schedule around pet sitting. I am almost always available from early morning through early evening. I have a quarter acre fenced yard and a silver lab that loves play dates! We live in a split level so we do have stairs going up or down. We takes lots of walks to the local park and dog park and throw the ball as often as we can!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was eight years old, and being around them has always been one of my greatest joys. I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes our pets are family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My home is shared with Sadie, my sweet, social Lab/pit mix, who loves having canine friends around. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, quirks, and comfort level, so I take the time to help each guest feel safe and at home. I’m attentive, nurturing, dependable, and happiest in a house full of animals. Expect plenty of affection, playtime, walks, cozy places to relax, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is being genuinely loved and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my days around the animals in my care. I work part-time and also run my own wellness practice, which gives me the freedom to be selective about the boarding dates I accept and make sure I have plenty of time to devote to my four-legged guests. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, snuggles, and downtime are already a natural part of my routine with my own dog, Sadie. When I accept a boarding stay, I want your dog to be part of our everyday life—not simply a guest waiting for you to come home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always come first in my home. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, medication, exercise, and bedtime routines as closely as possible, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that might indicate they’re not feeling like themselves. Dogs will be supervised appropriately, kept secure on walks and outings, and given plenty of time to settle into their new surroundings. My own dog, Sadie, is friendly and social, and I want every dog who stays with us to feel safe, relaxed, and welcome. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well. Most of all, I want my home to feel like a loving home away from home—not a kennel. Your dog will be cared for with patience, affection, respect, and lots of attention.

“Absolutely amazing! Hailey treated my baby like she was hers. Highly recommend! She was able to accommodate her last minute and was very good at communicating.”

“Joe was an incredible dog sitter for our pup Ranger. We got so many daily updates and pictures of many walks and trips to the dog park, and Ranger especially had a blast playing with Joe’s sweet dog Ellie. We would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to board their dog in the Bozeman area!”

About: I’ve had personal owner experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and reactivity levels. My own dog was reactive to people and dogs before going through training. He passed a year ago and I’m hoping to help out other dog parents on here while also getting some much needed puppy time! I’m looking to get outside and love your dog like my own! I work part time, so I have a lot of extra time and flexibility in my schedule to walk or check in on your pets! I would give at least least 2 walks a day. I would offer other enrichment activities we can do at home, for example my dog always liked treats tied in a towel that he’d have to unravel. I would personalize anything to fit what the animal needs!
