Dog Sitting Missoula

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I primarily work with dogs and cats, but I’m happy to care for other animals too! I’ve grown up around animals and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I take pride in giving every pet the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with all life stages—from playful puppies to senior pets—and I’m comfortable working with reactive or selective dogs. I also have experience providing extra care for pets with medical needs and will always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I love being outdoors and enjoy hiking, swimming, and exploring trails with dogs. Having lived in the Missoula area for several years, I’m very familiar with local trail systems and great walking spots. I originally started pet sitting in Wisconsin, where I’m from. Whether your pet needs a fun, active walk or a calm, patient companion, I’m here to help. I’d love to meet you and your pet!

About: I have had a wonderful love for animals my whole life, and have immensely enjoyed any time I have had the opportunity to take care of a pet for someone while they are on vacation, or even just away for the day at work. I happen to love active outdoor time myself, so I'm always happy to go for a long walk, a short jog, or even a pretty hike! I know how crucial enrichment and activity time is for happy pups, so I love getting to be a part of running around with toys, practicing any training they have with them, or just seeing their tails wag on a good walk. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, so whether their needs are a long walk, some tug of war, or just a potty break and some good ear scratches, I'm down for whatever it takes to make your furry family members feel as loved and cared for as I can. As an online student, I have quite a flexible schedule! I am happy to offer care on weekends with enough heads up, and can make just about any day of the week work if needed. I believe that safe, happy homes with safe, happy families are so special and something not to be taken lightly. I know that inviting strangers into your home to care for the pet that you love dearly can be a daunting task, which is why it is a goal of mine as a person and as a pet sitter to show every animal, every home, and every human I encounter with the utmost love and respect I can muster. I consider our pets to be true members of our family, and that they deserve the most love and care we have to offer. With that in mind, my goal is to strictly follow any instructions and information given to care for and respect every pet and every home.

About: I've had my own pets for over ten years, including a reactive dog so I know all pups need love! I've been the go-to dog and cat sitter for friends and family since I could drive, everything from weekend trips to month long visits, I've always been happy to help! As a pet parent we all know we need extra hands sometimes! I work part time, so although the times might vary based on the day, I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I know how hard it is to leave your furry babies, so I try to make sure that I do my best to quell that anxiety when I can! I've had to leave my pups with friends and loved ones before, so I know that worries of someone outside of your family stopping in. I listen to all boundaries just the same as I would expect a pet sitter to do for me. That's the golden rule: Treats others (and their spaces) how you would want to be treated.

About: Hi, my name is a Nevaeh and I am a nineteen year old who hasn't had one moment in my life where I wasn't surrounded by animals. From being five years old with my grandma's grouchy old cat, to my cousin's place with two dogs and four cats, to being nine and getting my own cat and dog. I am no stranger to big dogs wanting to play like puppies, little dogs with attitudes twice their size and cats being, well, cats. Every time I meet a new animal, I make it a point to introduce myself to them directly. Even sitting down on the ground to be on their level and let them come to me. I want to take care of them, why wouldn't I let them decide they like me? Currently, I work part time Friday through Monday (With Sundays open) and then have Tuesday through Thursdays open. This might change, it might not. I am looking for a full time job. But if I can fit a pet in, I will. As I said, I grew up with several dogs and cats. So I am aware every one is different and requires different care. And much like my banner alludes to, I am a pre-vet student. I'd love to take all the animal experience I can gain. If you have certain requirements for your pet, I can absolutely abide to them.

About: I love walking dogs- I get almost as excited as they do. I am a patient and attentive care-giver, ready to listen to every need of yours and your pet. I'll give your pet all the attention they want and deserve! I have had cats and dogs of my own for my whole life and I have taken care of friends' and neighbors' pets occasionally. I would really like to make dog walking and sitting a more regular part of my life by making my services more widely available. I love taking my dog on long hikes or walks and would love to do the same for yours! If your dog likes a hiking companion like mine does, that would be ideal, but I can also accommodate solo walks to fit your dog's needs. I am in school and have openings in my daily schedule for morning, mid-day, afternoon, or evening walks and check-ins. I'm available weekdays and weekends. I am happy to care for your pet in your home and follow instructions that will keep your pet safe and comfortable (i.e. supervise them in a fenced yard, keep them leashed, keep them separate from other dogs if necessary). I live in a rental that does not permit other dogs at the moment so I will be happy to take care of pets in their own homes.

“We had a wonderful experience with Amy as our pet sitter! She took great care of our cat, and went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well-cared for. Amy was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy pet sitter!”

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.

“My dog was very stressed that I went away. Lea handled the situation extremely well and added a daily dog walk to help relieve my dog's anxiety. I highly recommend her!!!”

About: I recently lost my dog companion of 15 years and am not ready to welcome the next pup into my home — so am seeking dogs to care for as needed! Happy to offer whatever care is needed whether that’s a potty break during the day, a hike on the local trails, or staying at your house with your pup(s) while you are out of town. I have experience with both puppies and seniors and love them all. I am reliable, caring, and would be honored to take care of your friend. I work during typical office hours M-F but am able to visit your pups midday and of course the rest of the week/weekend. Let me know what you need and we can sort out the rest! I am happy to come to your home for dog breaks, walks, and full dog sitting. I’ll make sure everyone gets the attention and care they need to have a great day

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.

About: I grew up from the age of 8 with cats and dogs. I know that every critter has its own personality and should be treated as such. I have experience walking medium-sized dogs (german shepherds and retrievers) have watched cats too. I have my own cat, and empathize with the heartache that can come with leaving your pet at home. I am a responsible, trustworthy person who would love to check in or walk your pet(s) while you are away. I have passed both state and federal background checks and am employed as a researcher through the federal government. I love having my cat, Fischer, by my side as I work from home and am happy that he's been able to travel and adapt with me over the past 10 years of us being family! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have about my qualifications or experience. I work from home, so I am most happy doing check-ins or walks during the day! I try to save my weekends for my own outside time, but if I am in town I will happily care for your animal. I will be sure to treat your house as a would my own: keeping it clean and safe. I will always lock your doors, refresh water bowls as needed, or feed/medicate if necessary. Your pet will be my priority when I am caring for it.

About: I grew up with pets of all kinds and I own a dog currently. I specialize in border collies since I grew up with that breed, but all four legged friends are welcome with me! I'm hoping for the chance to work with dogs, while picking my own hours. I have VERY LOW RATES since I’m trying to build my clientele in the valley, so make sure to take advantage of it! I understand that not all dogs are the same, and each has it's own personality and unique qualities. I'm hoping to provide a service that is specialized to be the best for your dog. If you have any questions about my experience or what I can do for you, please contact me. If there's any price or policy that you'd like to talk about, I'm more than willing to make accommodations. If you and your pup are happy, than so am I! I'm looking forward to meeting you :) -Jordan

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.

“Rosalee is amazing! I am so grateful for her! She is timely, a great communicator and most importantly my old girl loves her! Thank you!”

About: I am a wildlife biology student at the University of Montana and I grew up raising animals for my local county fair, so I am very comfortable around critters of all shapes and sizes. I currently own two German Shepards as well as a cat. I love all animals and cant wait to meet yours! I am a student at the University of Montana with open availability during the summer. I am very active and I prioritize lots of outdoor time for my pets and others under my supervision. Safety, trust, and a welcoming environment are key when caring for pets in my home or a client's. I start by making sure the space is safe, removing any hazards. Building trust is essential, so I spend time playing and following their routines to make them feel comfortable. Keeping the vibe playful and safe is always the best approach.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in their homes for many years taking care of young to senior animals needing medicine. Having a fur baby of my own I understand how anxiety inducing it can be when their parents are out of town. I am gentle and attentive to fur friends as a guest in their home, while also respecting their varying social needs. My goal is to keep your loved one’s routine as close as possible to normal while their humans are away. I am self-employed and have a flexible work schedule. I am available to work with pet routines throughout the day, and can accommodate overnight stays if needed. Depending on your fur baby’s needs, I can come visit for meal time, walks, or if they need medication. I can also spend more general time in their home with them if they have more social needs.
