Pet Sitting in Nelson

“Shelbie was great with my dogs, very communicative and respectful of my home! I could tell my dogs felt comfortable around her and that she truly loves animals from the pictures she sent.”

“Jenn did an amazing job watching our dog! Her checkin reports were so fun to read and the photos were a great reassurance of our pup having a great time during their walks, snuggles and play. Jenn had some great single-ingredient treat recommendations for my pups sensitive diet and even left us a couple to try. I look forward to the ease of using Jenn while we are away overnight again knowing our pup will be cared for greatly. Thanks Jenn!”

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: I have loved and trained dogs my whole life. I am a retired certified K-9 trainer and handler with 10 years experience. Dogs are one of my biggest joys in live. I am semi-retired professional and have a very flexible schedule to care for the dogs in my life. Dogs deserve lots of love and time for all the joy they give each of us. I offer a huge (free roam) fenced yard. I also have a kennel in the back yard with heated dog houses if needed. A doggie shower and a large kennel are available inside a heated garage. I allow dogs in my home. Numerous dog walks per day are a must. I will be honest, trustworthy and respectful when visiting your home. My property is dog safe.

About: I’ve been around dogs for my entire life! We have our own pups, and love to go on hikes. Caring for animals is a huge passion in this household. I work full-time from home and am able to take care of dogs all day. I am able to let dogs out at any time, and there is lots of space for yard romping. The one things all dogs need is compassion, trust, and love. We have a fenced yard that is great for playing, and lots of neighborhood walkers that bring treats by!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was very young, including owning cats, dogs, horses, and cattle. I sincerely cherish every animal I am introduced to and strive to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. I have experience with basic canine behavior and training and have also worked in veterinary clinics for over 5 years, which provided a wealth of experience I bring to each pet I have the opportunity to care for. I am comfortable with many different temperaments and am able to administer medications if your pet requires additional care. I am an extremely active person, so there will be no shortage of activity for your fur-baby! Whether you are a pet parent to a Great Dane or a Munchkin cat, I treat each of them as if they were my own! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program which allows for a very flexible pet-sitting schedule. I am available during the week and on weekends, and am open to overnight stays if your pet needs more comfort while you are away. I am more than capable of overnight stays or late-night check-ins to ensure your pets feel most comfortable with a change in routine. I provide as many walks, hours of playtime, treats, and bouts of attention possible to ensure your pet never feels bored or lonely. I am able to provide basic training for pets if desired, which ensures no "bad habits" develop while you are away. If your pet is comfortable in the car, there are many dog runs on the outskirts of Helena that provide a great place for your pup to burn off energy and get lots of fresh air. I like to make sure that they are let out frequently throughout the day to ensure no accidents occur in the house - or if they do, that they are well-cleaned right away so you do not come home to any unpleasantries. I am flexible and adaptable to what is best for your fur-baby and will also send lots of pictures so you never feel like you are too far away!

“Krista has been wonderful with the service that she has been providing for my pup. Krista is trustworthy, responsive, caring, and thorough. I’m impressed that she popped in to meet my pup and I before booking and answered any questions I had. My pup can be very skittish with new people and Krista has been able provide the services needed without my pup freaking out. I enjoy reading Krista’s report cards that provide feedback and pictures on how the visit went. I appreciate knowing that my pup is in good hands and being well taken care of. I am very satisfied with the walking service that Krista provides and will definitely use her for other services in the future. I highly recommend Krista!”

About: I have been the mom of dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and chickens for many years. Right now I have a BEAUTIFUL German Shorthaired Pointer, two cats and chickens. I enjoy all energy levels and all personality types. I have been a pet sitter for many friends as well. I have a very flexible schedule as I am not working a full time job. I have one more child that will be graduating this year and then my husband and I will be empty nesters. I think a pet's comfort is based on continued adherence to their routines. Familiar smells and activities always help with separation anxiety. Mental training exercises can also help with high energy animals.

“Molly watched my two cats for a week and I came home to happy well fed kittys. She texted me any questions she had about their care and sent me pictures daily. One of my cats needs twice daily medicine and Molly had no issues with giving her the medicine. I highly recommend Molly as she is caring and trustworthy and I would definitely leave my cats in her care again!”

I am passionate about health and safety, following specific procedures and protocols. Please tell me if your family member is unsure of other animals or people, which is ok and understandable! This information helps me prepare to work with your pet on their level and grow a trusting relationship with them (and you!). I am experienced and capable of handling specific temperaments and array of different personalities both in group daycare and single settings, let’s chat! - I require domestic pets to be updated on all vaccinations. - Areas of my home (including communal toys, blankets, beds, dishes etc.) are sanitized between guests. - Pets are separated when unsupervised. - New clients always remain on leash when outside fenced areas. Let me know if your pet requires leash training so I can help!

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life, growing up with two cats and a dog. From a young age, I learned responsibility through their care. Now, with my senior pets still with me, my skills have only grown as I tend to their needs and health. As a college student I've also fostered a variety of shelter animals and learned to individually care for animal needs. I'm currently a student so I have flexible daily and weekly routines that allow me to help out with pet care. With breaks in the middle of my days and no late-night commitments my schedule can adhere to a variety of needs. I live in an apartment so pet care in home involves walks around the complex and to local parks. In home, I am happy to follow whatever rules make you most comfortable.

About: I have been taking care of and have been surrounded by dogs for my entire life. I took full-time care of three dogs starting at age 13 and up. I still care for those dogs every so often, and now have my own puppy as well! I am a college student with a flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own, so going on walks and providing care for animals is already part of my everyday schedule. I monitor feeding, bathroom and play to ensure there are no hazardous conditions or situations. I am extremely careful with keeping different doors closed and rooms blocked off. I am comfortable dealing with kennels, and I can follow any direction or explanation.
