Dog Walkers in Merriman, MT

“Briana was great! She was gentle and sweet with our sometimes shy, sometimes exuberant shepherd mix. He seemed to love her immediately at the meet and greet, which is unusual. When she came to run him, she quickly noticed he seemed tired from the heat that day so went easy on him and hung out with him at home instead. We will definitely be using her again!”

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.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs , cats, horses and many more animals for years. I’ve also owned dogs and cats for many years and take pride in my ability to love and care for animals. I’m available when you need someone to care for your animals. I work, but that doesn’t stop me from taking care of animals. As an owner I understand the importance of animals and care needed for them. I’m always at dog friendly places where they can run and get all that energy out, I train on ecollars and have worked well for me, no dog has ever been harmed in my care and I take such pride in that.

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.

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 am great at earning dogs trust, and I always make sure they get enough fun! I am also happy to help with some training! I have a flexible schedule so I can work around you and your dogs needs! I am happy to make special accommodations whenever possible. I aim to please! I am happy to take the dogs on walks, to the park, or throw the ball in the backyard! I'll make sure your dog looks forward to future visits!

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: 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.

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

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: Hi there! I am Erin- a lifelong animal lover with a warm heart, and an intuitive understanding of what pets need to feel safe and loved. Caring for dogs isn’t just a side hustle for me- it’s a true passion. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, cozy overnight snuggles, or keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I genuinely love what I do and animals can sense that right away. My clients often tell me they can relax knowing their furry family members are in good hands. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and tuned in to each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior or spirited, I adjust to their rhythm and needs. You will get updates, sweet photos and total peace of mind. Let me be your pet’s new best friend. I’d be honored to take care of them while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy starting my day with a walk, giving pets time to exercise and enjoy the fresh air. I also make sure to create a calm and engaging environment, whether it's through playtime, cuddle sessions, or ensuring that pets are fed and hydrated on time. I take pride in offering personalized care that fits each pet's needs, making sure they feel loved and comfortable throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for the pet. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owner, whether it's feeding schedules, exercise routines, or any special needs. I make sure to provide plenty of attention, whether it’s through play, walks, or cuddle time, while maintaining the pet's routine as much as possible. I also keep the home clean and tidy, making sure to follow any house rules or preferences the owner has. Communication is key, so I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages to ensure they’re confident in the care their pets are receiving.

“My pup had a great walk!”
