Cat Sitting in Milltown

About: I have cared for many types of dogs, big to small, young to old. One of my more recent clients had a big Labradoodle, who was a rescue and very skittish. I got along with Zooey right away, and we had some fun walks and runs. I love playing catch and tug-war with dogs as well. I myself am very energetic so I know how good it feels to get out in the fresh air and stretch your legs. I love dogs and cats, they are so full of love and I can't help but love them back. Since I have cared for many pets I know how to read them and give them space, pets and food when they need it. I have a cat of my own and know all the silly ways cats communicate.

“Not only does Emily do a great job with the essentials, but she also spends time with our Bailey giving extra scratches and getting to know her.”

“Kalyn was amazing! She stopped by to take care of my cat and he absolutely loved her She kept me updated and was really easy to communicate with. I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in good hands I’d definitely have her watch Mr. Jones again”

“Faye was amazing. She watched my German Shepherd, Beretta, in her own home, over the holidays and on fairly short notice. She had me bring Beretta over to her home so we could meet her, and so we could see how Beretta did with the other dogs she was watching. Beretta can be shy, but Faye made her feel right at home. Faye also watched my three cats for me, and made daily visits to my house to check their food and clean the litter. She sent me daily updates on my four-legged friends while I was away, and even watered the Christmas tree for me. When I got back, everyone was healthy and so much happier than they ever are when they get boarded at a kennel. I will DEFINITELY use Faye again next time I leave town, and would highly recommend her to anyone. ”

About: I provide personalized, loving care for every pet as if they were my own. With a focus on trust, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs, I go beyond just walks and visits—I build real bonds. Whether it’s extra playtime, belly rubs, or sticking to special routines, I ensure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every walk an adventure and every stay a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners! Pet care fits into your daily routine by offering flexibility while allowing you to do something you love. You can schedule walks and visits around your personal commitments, ensuring a balance between work and family life. Since pet care often involves morning, midday, and evening visits, it provides structure to your day without being confined to a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Plus, spending time with animals can be both fulfilling and a great way to stay active! I provide a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether in their own home or under my care, I ensure a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I prioritize their well-being by following routines, recognizing signs of stress, and creating a calm atmosphere tailored to their needs. I have a fenced yard as well.

About: Hi, I’m Bri I have been an animal caretaker for years and worked at a couple horse barns. I rescued and trained my current dog Duke and now he’s a service dog. I believe in flexibility and helping my community so please reach out:) I am working part time as a CNA and in school. I am constantly out with my pup and take care of my landlords dog often too. So I would be available most times during the week/weekends. I am a big believer in a well exercised dog is a well behaved dog. Mine gets out for some sort of running/exploring activity daily and hiking multiple times in the week, that said let’s add yours!

“Clare was super with medication for my very old (18.5 yrs) kitty and I appreciated the photos ... She is a gem of a petsitter!”

“Ryan did a great job with our two kitties while we were on vacation. They seemed very happy and content when we got home :) We will definitely think of her again in the future when we need a pet sitter!”

“Meghan was fantastic watching our two cats while we were away for a week. She communicated well throughout the entire stay, and we came home to two very happy boys. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks, Meghan!”

“The absolute best of the best! Chloe very obviously loves cats and took the absolute best care of mine while my family had to go out of town for 2 weeks. I was super nervous to leave them for so long but she visited them every single day, was so reliable and was able to give one of my cats his medicine every day. The pictures she sent show how much they love her and were so comfortable right away with her! We will use her anytime we need a pet sitter in the future!”

About: I work part‑time and have a very flexible weekly routine, which means I’m able to spend extended, consistent time with pets throughout the day. I’m usually home for large stretches of the morning and early afternoon, and I keep my schedule intentionally open so I can prioritize walks, playtime, and companionship. My home is close to town, and I don’t have a long commute or rigid office hours. How I found my first Cat! When I was in middle school; I found my first cat through a local shelter. I was so committed to giving her a safe and loving home that I created a full slideshow explaining how I would care for her and presented it to my parents. That experience taught me responsibility & empathy . Since then, my dedication to helping animals has only grown, and I’m eager to bring that same level of care, initiative, and compassion to a shelter team. Pet care is part of my daily routine; I schedule structured walks, maintain consistent feeding and play times, and provide attentive house‑sitting throughout the week. I’m an extremely outdoors‑focused person; long walks with any animal are my daily reset. In both my home and clients’ homes, I provide dependable, attentive care through structured walking routines and responsible, detail‑oriented house‑sitting.

About: My mom used to work at an animal shelter when I was growing up, so I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. My family always had pets growing up which means I've cared for a variety of dogs from senior animals to puppies, my own and others. I just graduated from MSU in the spring (don’t hate me, go Griz!) and I am currently back in Missoula for the foreseeable future figuring out my next steps, which I hope will include lots of adventures with your pets! My biggest priority will be making sure your pet is happy and healthy, I've had my share of anxious dogs in the past and I know entrusting that responsibility to a stranger can be scary for you and your pet, but I will do my absolute best to make sure I provide the highest quality care possible.

“We needed a sitter for a couple of hours during the day for our boy with separation anxiety and Hanna was right on time, took him for a nice walk, and kept him entertained. He was relaxed and happy when we got back.”

About: I have been around pets from a young age and grew up with both dogs and cats. My parents wanted to teach my sister and I the responsibility of taking care of our pets, and got us a cat that we were solely responsible to care for and I have loved caring for pets ever since! I have taken care of many pets since and have a dog of my own now. I work outside of my home Monday through Thursday from 8-5, I do have a shorter day on Friday, working 8-2. I have an hour break for lunch and typically go home to let my own pup out and would happily to the same for yours! I have a fenced in yard and a pup that loves everyone and will happily make your pets feel right at home. I can crate your pet if needed. My goal is always to make sure that any pet that I’m caring for feels comfortable and gets lots of play time.

I have a vehicle and can take a dog some where for a hike, also in case of an emergency can transport.

About: I grew up on a small organic farm outside of bozeman, we had a lots of animals growing up and we always had rescue dogs as well. I grew up taking care of cats and bunnies and dogs basically my whole life, I also dog sit consistently for a client in summers. I’m currently a full time student at U of M and my class times are random throughout the day so my schedule works perfectly for pet sitting, dog walking and drop ins anytime. I follow the routine I’m given by the owner and I like to be active so I’ll usually play or take the dog on a walks/hikes if the dog is up for it, otherwise I’ll just stick to the given feeding/exercise schedule and take care of the house and dog or cat like normal and leave everything as I found it.

About: I've always had pets. Been very good at taking good care of them. My last two were elderly. I've housesat for multiple friends.

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for many years. I grew up with pets, helped care for friends’ animals throughout college, and have been dog and cat sitting regularly for the past two years. I’m very active and love taking dogs on walks or playing with them outside, but I also truly enjoy quieter time—curling up with a book and keeping a cat company while they nap. I’m an early riser, which dogs tend to appreciate, and I work from 9:00 AM–3:00 PM with a flexible lunch hour. This schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time at home with your dog or cat. I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM–3:00 PM and have a flexible lunch hour, which allows me to go home and check in on your pet if needed. Outside of work, I don’t have other commitments, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I’m an early riser (usually up between 5–6 AM) and tend to go to bed earlier as well (around 9–10 PM), making me a great fit for pets who thrive on consistent routines. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any house rules—so their pet feels secure while they’re away. I’m attentive to doors, leashes, and home safety, and I always make sure pets are supervised and settled before leaving. I give pets plenty of attention and exercise when they want to be active, along with quiet companionship for those who prefer a calmer approach. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and communicate regularly, so you can feel confident your dog or cat is safe, happy, and well cared for.
