Dog Boarding in Missoula

Have had dogs all my life from babies to full grown...have a golden retriever almost 3 that loves to play and make new friends...I would take care of your dogs (family) like they were my own...very responsible and dependable....I love dogs and love going on hikes and walks, I will keep them busy and cared for while you are away...You can count on me to take very good care of your babies, I can also text you updates and pictures while I am watching them. I will also note that my garage where they are if I am not home...has a dog door to the yard .....windows all across the garage door and a large window on the outside wall of the garage....it is as light as the outside in there....

I have always loved animals. I have pet sat since I was a kid. It is not work for me, it is pleasure. I am very flexible and have many client references. I take care of your pet per your instructions. Very few pet owners just feed kibble to their pets. I have fed raw to home made food, Greenies after a meal, treats in the AM etc. Short stays, or long stays, it does not matter. The longest I have have pet sat is 9 months. The client could not have her dog where she was staying, so Stolie stayed with me. They can ride in the car with me, go to the dog park, just hang out (for the older ones) on two of my sunny (most of the time) decks or on the furniture (be my guest), take dip in the river (a few blocks away), go on walks (many trails nearby) or sit in my lap (if they fit) I am a retired RN , so your babies will rarely be left alone. Your babies will be safe with me. Come for a visit.

Pick up and drop offs are welcome between 7:30am and 8:00pm. Please note if you are arriving into Missoula on a late flight you will need to pick up your furbaby the following morning.

In addition to caring for my own pets, I have fostered over 100 dogs through Humane Society of Western Montana, RezQDogs, Circle 2 Rescue, and Panda’s Animal Rescue. I have experience with small to giant dogs, newborn puppies to hospice care, deaf dogs, dogs who need medication, dogs who have been neglected, and regular dogs who just want to play and be loved!

I retired after 27 years owning/running a daycare/preschool. My “hobby” all those years was fostering and caring for dogs. I truly love animals and that will be my focus now.

I own my home that is located on a quiet rural street in Missoula county. I have over an acre of property with a separate fenced area (4 foot fence) for dogs.

PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY TAKE SPAYED AND NEUTERED DOGS UNLESS THEY ARE PUPPIES.

I have always loved dogs and am an experienced dog owner. I've been boarding dogs in my home and providing doggie daycare for seven years.

I have a dog friendly home with a half-acre fenced yard. Doggie guests come in and out of my home via a dog door - they can play outside, or hang out in the house. They sleep inside on comfy beds. My dog enjoys the company and loves to play. I live in a rural area and I take dogs for walks and play with them in the yard. I keep lots of toys on hand for them to play with.

I specialize in medium to giant dogs and will accept puppies that are crate trained.

All dogs must be spayed or neutered and well socialized. Please call me so you can meet me and my dogs and I can meet yours.

About this sitter:

I have been an animal lover all my life. My parents loved animals as well - we always had dogs, cats, rabbits, and anything that was stray or injured that needed care. I currently have two wonderful rescue dogs.

Why I love dog sitting

I have had dogs in my life since I was a small child. I worked for an animal welfare organization in my town and have helped rescue many dogs.

Meet my pets

Sadly my Tao, a Malamute mix, had cancer a passed away in February 2017.

Zade, a nine year old rescue, Catahoula mix. We adopted Teko after Tao passed. He is a big, fun-loving, dog-loving Malamute.

About my yard

I have a half acre with a 6' fence. There is plenty of shade, and a large deck with dog beds for lounging.

My experience administering medication

Yes, I have given shots and pills many times.

I am great with dogs and love dogs of all shapes, sizes and energy levels. I have been obsessed with dogs ever since I was very little but I didn't get my own dog until I was 13. Trying to fill the dog void in my life before I got Coco for my birthday, I was the neighborhood dog walker and also helped my Aunt train therapy dogs because she is the head of the therapy dog program in all of Wisconsin. My pup growing up is a great little dog that is terrified of thunderstorms, and sometimes gets anxiety in certain situations that she needs medicine for, so I understand and can take care of dogs with any weird quirks that make them the special dog we love.

Now my boyfriend Sebastian and I have a dog named Yuki. She loves that we do Rover because she gets tons of new friends to pay with! Moose is our cat who I got as a kitten and has been around dogs his whole life and likes to play with them them as well! (He's featured in some of the pictures on my profile). Sebastian loves dogs and takes awesome care of them with me. He works from home so between the two of us, the dogs always have someone around and get to play all day. I am a behavior therapist for children with Autism, so my flexible schedule allows me to take the dogs out to get plenty of exercise! We will give your dog every ounce of love that we have and take him/her for long walks every day if that is something you want. We will follow all instructions given because we understand that every dog is different, and we will do our best to make the transition of your absence as smooth as possible! We will skip social events to spend time with your dog (trust me we want to ;) and will treat them like the family member they are and they will be our first priority!

Hello! My name is Brittany and I love all dogs and cats! I have two dogs of my own and understand the importance of having someone that you can trust to care for your animals while you are away. We go for hikes or to the river everyday and would love to bring your dog along! I am able to provide both on and off leash activities, depending on the needs of each individual dog. I have a degree in psychology and experience working with dogs that need special attention or training. I am patient, understanding and reliable. You can trust that your pets will have a great time and be well taken care of while you are enjoying yourself on vacation! Thanks! ❤️ ❤️

Thank you so much for visiting my page! I am a stay at home Mom to 3 amazing boys who is looking to supplement income by offering in home pet boarding and drop in visits in Missoula and the surrounding area. We are a animal loving family and have 2 dogs, Lucy and Frank. I have a 1 acre fenced lot so your fur babies get the exercise and play they deserve! When your dog stays with us he/she has access to our entire home, they can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable, whether that’s in their bed or mine they’ll feel right at home here with us. They also have access to our yard as much or as little as they’d like as we have 3 doggy doors! I am very flexible and can be available at a moments notice. We are conveniently located at the Wye within a few miles of the airport.

I've been around dogs my whole life! I enjoy all breeds and can accommodate the varying needs of your pet. I currently have two dogs of my own; Pinski 14 and Wally 2. We get out daily for off-leash hikes and would love for your fury friend to join us. It is important that your dog responds to voice command! I understand that establishing a relationship with your pet is important to ensure the voice response. I am willing to do leash walks to encourage trust and bond with your pet. Some dogs have more energy than others, I can cater to your dogs needs and help wear them out. I am open to pick up or drop off whatever works best for you and your pet.

We both had a family dog growing up. Trask is very active and loves going on dog walks/hikes. Emiko has cared for dogs throughout college. She also raised her (now our) dog since puppyhood.

We are generally home full-time between the two of us, so your dog will have the attention it needs! Our house has a relatively large yard that your dog can romp around (as long as he/she is not a jumper). We enjoy spending time outside, and we strive to provide your dog the exercise it needs.

We really love dogs. Trask is very good at being your dog's playmate! Emiko tends to say hi to every dog she passes-by. She is also pretty good at reading dog body language since she has dealt with a dog who had some behavioral issues. We try to educate ourselves reading dog training techniques/dog behavior books.

Now that she is older, our dog prefers other dogs who would respect her space. We can definitely accommodate and tire out your high energy dog (as we stated above, we are active people), but this would likely not come in the form of wrestling with our dog. Please keep that in mind when you are considering booking with us.

Thanks for looking, and we look forward to meeting you and your dog!

As a lifetime pet owner and animal lover, I've been a responsible and compassionate caregiver to many pets. I've strived to give my pets the best life possible, and I'll spoil yours too with lots of walks, cuddling and playtime. I can stay at home full-time with your dog and give them the love and attention they deserve. My house is quiet and pet-friendly with a large, fenced backyard and several dog "houses" to lounge in. My dog Sheba (who was abused in her previous life) loves other dogs and is very patient and has a calming influence on anxious dogs. Sheba and I would love to have your dog accompany us on our daily walks around the neighborhood or whatever hikes around Missoula your dog would be comfortable with.
