Dog Sitting Missoula

“Bri took great care of my two kitties while I was away. I came home to happy cats and a clean living space! One of my cats has a disability that requires extra attention with feeding and the health issue has lead to my own anxiety around pet care. Bri gave me so much peace of mind while I was away and often out of service. I highly recommend her. If she’s available in the future I’ll be happy to book with her again. Thank you, Brianna!”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have had cats as well, so I'm comfortable with both. Most recently I've been the go-to sitter for my neighbor's cat during her extended trips away — sometimes up to a month at a time. Animals tend to be at ease around me, and I bring the same calm, unhurried attention to pet care that I do to everything else. Your pet will be well looked after and genuinely enjoyed, not just managed. I’m reliable, quiet, respectful of your home, and happy to follow detailed instructions for your pet’s care. I work from home on a flexible, part-time basis, which means I'm around most of the day and can give pets consistent attention and company. I'm available for drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week with good advance notice. I'm attentive, calm, and take pet care seriously. For in-home sitting I treat your space with care and keep everything exactly as you'd want it. I'm comfortable with a range of pets and temperaments, and I'll communicate with you regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Nicole was wonderful with my old kitty! At eighteen years old, Lola needs a little attention and her food. Nicole did a great job of taking care of both and when I got back home Lola was relaxed. Thanks Nicole!”

“Kaycee has been an absolute blessing. I needed up in a pinch and she stepped up and eased a bit of my stress. Trusting your dog to be cared for is a big task. I’m very thankful I found her. Brutus is always happy to have an evening visitor and when I arrive home later in the evening, he’s pretty excited to tell me about his day. Im told. he’s been given some extra cheese slices and he’s ecstatic about that.”

“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!”

About: College student wanting to care for your pets! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 9 years old and love them all. I’ll cater to your needs. I am a college student and have some availability to dog walk or visit between classes during the week. I can work with you on time and duration as it fits into my schedule! For house pet-sitting I’m flexible to when I am free so reach out and ask about my availability! I respect the home I care for the dogs in and respect the rules set for their pets. I’m attentive to the dogs needs during my stay and make them top priority.

About: I grew up in a house of animals. We had 2 dogs, 3 cats, 5 chickens, lizards, snakes, birds and more. I understand the importance of cleaning, feeding and spending time with pets. I especially love cats but love getting to go on walks with a dog and play with them :) I am a student and have a part time job. I often have times in the mornings and day and can find some time at night. I stick with a clients wants and needs and follow what they ask of me. I have a vehicle and can take a dog some where for a hike, also in case of an emergency can transport.

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. Im very active with animals if they want to be active or calm and cuddly when they don't. I genuinely just love all animals and seem to bond with most. Just hope I get the opportunity to bond with your animal, cause they're my favorite. I work full time from 8 to 4:30 at the university. I have weekends off. I do have a few hours of a class on Saturdays. I have a small apartment and two roommates, one of which, doesn't want animals around. But im willing to house sit. And I'm a cordial house guest. I do my own dishes, buy my own groceries, and maintain the environment. I like to leave things like I found them. I've been a custodian for 8 years.

“Sarah was amazing! I booked her on relatively short notice and she came to do a meet and greet and was very communicative throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have had dogs in my home for my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all ages! I recently had two large dogs in my home (2 labradors) that were family pets. I was responsible for feeding, walking, and looking after these dogs throughout my childhood and young adult life. In addition to taking care of my own dogs, I have pet sat for multiple friends and family (including dogs, cats, guinea pigs and rabbits!) I also volunteered for my local humane society for 4 years, walking dogs and socializing cats to prepare them for adoption. For this, I went through 2 years of safety training and dog walking certification. Overall, I am very comfortable around animals and feel very passionately about their care and well-being. I am very flexible and am excited to spend time with some furry friends! I am currently working from home and have lots of flexibility throughout the day between meetings to go for walks, get some play time, and give attention when needed. I’m available for overnight stays at a client’s home or walks anytime! I cannot accommodate pets in my own home, but can be very flexible when it comes to any of your pets needs while taking care of them in a clients home. I have experience with crate-trained dogs, limiting animals to particular areas of the home, and walking dogs outdoors both off leash at a dog park and on leash

About: Ive got 4 pups of my own and 2 step pups of all ages and sizes. We are vwry active and love getting out of the house, so I'd love to give that opportunity to other pups as well! We love going on daily walks/runs and trail walks/rucks. All my dogs are high energy and rather strong, so no dog is to much to handle here! If your pup wants to take it slow and sniff around or pick up the pace and go for a run, I'm down for it all! I'm currently attending school at UM for Wildlife Biology and looking to work around my school hours helping others with their pets if possible! Im available every weekday prior to 9:30am, and anytime after 1pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As well as anytime on the weekend! I always have poop bags and a waistbelt that can have a pup hooked up to it if needed. I also carry a pack with multiple camelbaks of water and cooling towels on hot days if we're going for a longer walk. Lastly, I bring a first aid kit and extra booties with whenever we go on trails as well as water in my pack and in the car.

About: Ive been fortunate enough to grow up with dogs and cats in the house my whole life! Friends and family have reached out to me for the bulk of my life for house sitting and pet sitting needs. I love the outdoors and find a lot of dogs are the perfect companion to have by your side in the wilderness! Currently only working part time leaving me plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends! I have a lot of spots in town I like to hike at and love bringing dogs along with me. I love spending time just playing and hanging out with animals to keep me busy throughout the day as well! I really try to match the routine of the owners for the pets so they don’t get too stressed out being gone from you! I have animals of my own and know how important it is to want your animals to be in good hands and not having to stress about them not enjoying their time away from you.

“Quinn was very nice with the cats. We came home to happy, well-fed animals with a clean living area. Quinn was respectful of our home and was responsible in our absence.”

About: Raised in the deep mountains of Montana, I have been surrounded by animals since infancy and grew up with a deep rooted sense of empathy and love for all creatures. In addition to the classic dogs, my sister and I had a childhood filled with bunnies, ducklings, fish, turtles, hedgehogs, birds, horses, mules, and plenty of wildlife to keep things exciting! I have been taking care of pets for nearly my entire life, and am extensively experienced in feeding, walking, bathing, and administering medicine for most household pets. Mainly dogs, smaller rodents, rabbits, and birds. I spent the last several years administering medicine to my late dog, Tango, upwards of three times daily. So I am very recently experienced in taking care of animals with a requirement for lot's of special attention and caregiving. I have also raised 3 puppies with my family in the last 5 years so I’m freshly prepped for little ones. I am the perfect match for you and your pet. ***CAN NOT HOUSE SIT PROPERTY WITH CATS - VERY ALLERGIC**** Dogs give us the gift of joy every day, and I would be so excited to bring a little extra joy to your pets life! Be it by stopping by for a half hour to say hello and play, or making them feel safe and secure while their owner is away. Currently, I am working from home and have wide availability. I am willing to commute a certain distance for pet care, and would require access to cell service and WiFi in the case of a long-term stay. I live in the center of Missoula and have fast and easy access to many dog parks and walking trails in the area. I have a large fenced in yard to run and play in. I typically avoid more popular dog parks, but am happy to take your furry friend to any of their favorite spots upon request. I have a large vehicle to transport pets to longer hiking destinations or parks.

“Nickolas is great! Definitely recommend.”

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'm a student at the University with a flexible schedule. 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.

About: Growing up I had three different large family dogs as well as an outdoor cat. I currently have my own indoor cat who is very happy and healthy, his name is Beans. I’ve grown up around itty bitty 5lb lap dogs all the way up to large 70lbs+ dogs. I’ve had experience with dogs that are wayy too social and the exact opposite, not able to be around strangers at all. I’ve done extensive personal research into cat and kitten care and have spent lengthy time with dozens of cats in my lifetime. I have a very personal soft spot for all animals big and small. They are such pure, innocent beings that deserve all of our love and protection. But they are also incredibly diverse in behaviors and emotional experience so it critical to be mindful and patient with them always. I am available for all pet care services Monday-Sunday, 12pm-10pm. Overnight stay will be planned out on a case by case basis due to fluctuating personal demands. What happens when I meet/care for your pet? Well the specifics vary depending on the service being provided but a general summary would be: Off the bat have a clear and thorough understanding of the boundaries and expectations the client has for their animal. Listen to any warnings, concerns, or tips the client may have about their pet. Meeting the animal under client supervision and listen to any preferences they may have when it comes to meeting their pet (assuming this is the first time I’m meeting your pet). As well as understanding the Clients expectations of me and the care I will be providing for them, ensuring that their own and their pets needs are fully met.

About: I have always loved dogs and enjoy playing with them, taking them for walks, runs, or hikes, or just making sure that they get the love they need when you are away. I work full-time during the school year but am available after 4 on weekdays and all day on the weekends. I am available for pet sitting in your home or doing check-ins and or walks. I always sure that outside areas are secured before letting dogs out. When walking I always keeps pets on a leash. I would treat your pet like my own.

About: I have experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, and always treat them with love and attention they need. I’m reliable and keep owners updated. My genuine love for animals and attention to detail helps me give the best care possible. I am currently a full time college student with breaks in between classes and a lot of free time on my hands. I have ample time to hang out and walk dogs at most times of the day. On walks, I make sure pets stay safe by keeping them on a leash, watching for hazards, and choosing calm routes. I also pay attention to their behavior to keep them comfortable and happy.

About: I love hanging out with dogs, taking them for scenic walks, playing with them, cuddling, and giving them all the attention for being so cute and good! I don't have experience training dogs, but I can give commands & manage their behavior with positive/negative reinforcement. I'm used to cleaning up accidents & messes, administering oral medication, and doing basic grooming. I am empathetic, responsible, patient, and punctual, and would make a great friend for your dog while you're away! I am trying to find a new job at the moment so currently have lots of free time! I take care of my kitty, Caliope (or Peepee), and since she doesn't play well with others, I'd love an excuse to hang out with & care for another animal. If I have notice in advance, I can make most times of day work, or days of the week, and I am also very flexible with scheduling and I'm an excellent communicator. I approach animals with the understanding that they have their own autonomy, personality, and boundaries and I respect animals by giving them the space they need to explore or get to know me. I'm gentle, patient, calm, and responsive to needs. My kitty is fed twice a day (wet food mixed with lots of water because she doesn't have teeth) and I scoop her litter boxes regularly and deep clean them weekly. She loves to be high up or look out the window so I set up things she can climb on and a comfy cat bed with a view of the birds. In your home, I can clean up after your animal, ensure their comfort & safety, and make sure they aren't lonely while you're gone.
