“Trena sat for me at my home and watched my two small dogs. She’s very kind and caring and was very easy to work with. She let me know, throughout her stay, how my pups were doing and kept me updated with photos. She took great care of my two dogs and helped ease my mind. I will definitely see if she’s available again in the future.”


“Austen was great! Came for a meet n greet beforehand and made sure she asked everything she needed. Took great care of my dogs while I was gone. I was out of cell service most of the time, but she still sent a few photos and updates which were nice to see when I did get service. Left my home in great condition, too. Thanks so much Austen!”



“Bella was wonderful with Teddy. The apartment was left in better condition than I left it... Teddy was very happy and tired when I got home. Good communication and a genuine love for animals. Recommended Highly.”


“Hilton has been great with both of our dogs both times he has taken care of them, and sends pictures along with updates daily. Absolutely plan on using his services again!”


“First time using Rover and Danette was fantastic. She ensured the dogs and home were well taken care of. Will definitely rebook with her in the future!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for our puppy, Jax, while we were on vacation in Emigrant, Montana! Autumn took such great care of him and treated him like one of her own. Jax was happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little spoiled—with a couple of new toys she surprised him with! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Highly recommend!”


“Jestine took great care of our two dogs, fish, and home while we were away for a week. She sent us daily check-ins with photos and videos which we appreciated. Our home was left clean and pups were happy. We highly recommend Jestine!”


“Daria was amazing! She watched our little pug, Kona, over the weekend and sent lots of pics and updates - we always appreciate lots of communication because we miss Kona while we’re away! Kona was also very relaxed when we returned, and we could tell she had gotten all the attention she needed to forget about us ? there have been previous times with other sitters where we’ve come home to a very stressed and anxious pug, and we can tell that she didn’t get very much attention while we were gone - and that breaks our hearts. But not the case when we used Daria! I’m hoping to use Daria every time we go out of town if we can!”


“Working with Karenna was a fantastic experience. She was incredibly accommodating, willing to meet at my house in Cardwell for a initial howdy, and took excellent care of Jackie and the house. Karenna sent photos and videos everyday, too!! On top of it all, she's so nice. Jackie and I thank you very much!”


“William was fantastic with our two dogs. It is obvious that he is a dog lover and really cares for the ones he is looking after. I recommend William if you are looking for some help with your pet!”


About: I baby my own dog, and I would do the same for yours. If you have a need, I can meet it. You name it. I’m available select dates, typically weekends. I can do multiple check ins throughout the day. If we chat, we can work something out for both of us. I maintain a controlled environment while I am absent (air conditioning, security, full water bowl, etc.). I also provide a free and fun environment when I am present (trips to the park, fetch, socializing with other dogs, etc.).

“Briana was fantastic! She did a wonderful job communicating with me while I was gone, and gave Peach and Mika lots of love and cuddles. My house was nice and clean upon return, and the dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time she was here. Peach got lots of walkies with Briana, and she's comfortable walking dogs on a prong collar safely and correctly. Both dogs take meds daily, and Briana was comfortable administering them properly. I look forward to having her sit the girls again in the future if she's interested!”


“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!”



“Alison's stay was amazing!! She worked a lot with our new rescue with some training exercises and is very patient, passionate and knowledgeable!! She sent us pictures throughout her stay, the pups loved her, and she was very respectful of our home. We are absolutely thrilled!!”


“Reese was thoughtful, communicative, sent updates every day, and kept our house just as we’d left it. More importantly, we came home to happy, well-cared for animals! I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person to care for their home and pets.”


“Averi was great- our house was spotless (and even clean sheets in the bed!) and our pupper, June, was happy and healthy on our return. I would definitely use her again!”


About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Helping out on a farm has given me lots of experience with different animals! I think pets are wonderful companions and I love being able to spend time getting to know new pets! I currently am home for the summer from college and do not have any other commitments. I am looking to do this as a full time gig over the summer to make money to put myself through school. I always do my best when taking care of pets. Making sure that I follow owners instructions is important, this way the owner feels as though they can trust me as a sitter. I prioritize making sure your pet feels supported whether that means, taking it on walks, extra pets, or just hanging out with them! Overall if you are paying me to watch your pet I want to make sure I do everything in my power to make it a positive experience!

“Amazing sitter! Brooke stayed with my senior dachshund for a week. She took great care of my girl and of my home. She asked questions when something didn’t seem right and she stayed in touch to let me know how my pup was doing. Highly recommend Brooke!”


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 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.
