Dog Walking Ninemile

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 am a responsible individual who will take wonderful care of your pets. I have experience pet sitting for individuals with large and small pets, including dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time outside, so taking your pets on walks and playing with them will help them burn their energy, settle their nerves, and enjoy their time with me. I am home for the summer from college, and I am looking for a job where I can take care of pets and spend time with them. I enjoy pet sitting and being able to take care of animals to hopefully allow them to be more comfortable while the owners are away. From my work over the summer, I am hoping to put my earnings back into my education when I move back to college in the fall. I will care for your pets by being engaged while exercising and playing with them, and keeping them on a leash if/when the pets are outside of the yard. In addition, I will always make sure the animals get their medications if necessary and have ample and suitable water and food for any time they are alone.

About: Thought I'd try this app out to make an extra buck. I am a lover of all pets, well maybe not spiders. I grew up in the remote country of Wisconsin, with a bunch of farm animals, as well as cats and dogs. Growing up with pets, and farm animals is crucial for knowing animals. I'm always taking my roommates dog for walks, and to the dog park. We have a big fenced in yard in the heart of Missoula. Meru (my roommates female dog) is really friendly and loves all other cats and dogs. I would focus my energy on your dogs and cats of course, but if Meru and your dogs cross paths they'll be best friends for the day. Hope to hear from you, and lend a helping hand with your best friends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping a calm, clean environment. I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Our boy Cashew is still in the thicket of big-dog adolescence, and at 70lbs it can feel like steadying a runaway train, but Reid has been beyond wonderful with Cashew since the start! Reid is compassionate with our boy without letting him get away with unsafe behaviors, and now that I’m working 12hr days, I can trust that my boy will be exercised, exhausted, and excited to sleep until I’m back home. Choosing someone to bring into your home, while you’re not there, to temporarily *take your dog* is an undeniably stressful decision. Reid has made that process effortless, putting my entire family at ease, and I cannot recommend his services enough!”

About: I’ve always loved pets and animals and after moving to Missoula am missing the two dogs I had with my younger sister so I’m looking for pets to connect with and care for while I don’t have any of my own. I work for Competitive Timing, a company that runs electronic timing for races and other running events. Because of that, I’m often gone traveling on weekends but during the weekdays I’m free to do whatever it is your pets would need and keep up their normal routine. I try to make the transition as seamless as possible caring for your pets in your home, on their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

About: Growing up we had 3 large dogs. Two of which were raised from puppies. I loved them with all my heart. Nate had many medical issues and we would have to make sure he had his medicine so I know how important and hard that can be. Sam was a very large breed and as he got older his hips weren’t as sturdy. We would walk him while supporting his back legs as the grew weaker. I understand aging dogs and how to watch out for their health. I am also a photographer for dog sled racing. I have helped many racers herd their dogs into formation and back to their kennels. I love working dogs and larger breeds. I enjoy tanking photos of dogs while they work or doing what they love. I am a freelance photographer, videographer, and marketer so I make my own schedule. I am available at almost anytime throughout the week. Most of my meetings are held on zoom so I seldom need to be somewhere other than a place with WiFi. I enjoy taking walks and playing fetch. I do not believe in off leash exercise as I don’t trust other dogs and dog owners. I enjoy playing tug and enriching experiences making dogs use their sense of smell and practice their manners and training.

About: I’ve been around farm animals my entire life. I have raised many of my own animals from birth to now. I also enjoy training and walking my animals! I will take great care of your pets. I will love and treat them as my own. I would be able to watch animals at a clients home, however am not allowed to have any animals at my place. Caring for pets fits into my schedule by planning their feedings, walks, and care around my work schedule. I'm available most weekends and some weekdays. Safety and trust come first. I maintain safety by locking doors, following routines exactly, and ensuring the pets are comfortable. I build trust through consistency, communication, and genuine care

“Chelsey took great care of our lab Pete! Provided nice photos and lots of peace of mind! Thank you!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens since I was a kid. My mother worked at an animal shelter so we always had fosters around to care for and socialize. I've also had dogs and cats as family pets for as long as I can remember. I work long shifts as a package delivery driver Sunday-Wednesday so I am only available for walks/pet sitting Thursday-Saturday evening. I love animals though and am super excited to make some new pals! Unfortunately I can't have clients pets stay at my place but while I'm at their owners house/out for a walk the animal will remain leashed and have my full attention.

About: I have been a dog owner for 25 years. I love walking and caring for dogs. Neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets when they are away. I am currently work in Missoula Tuesday through Friday. I love to take dogs out for a walk. When working I will be available mornings and evenings for dog walks and overnight for dogsitting. I will walk and play with our pet as much as they like. I do have crates available as well if that is a need.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s two dogs while they were away for 4/5 years and friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. Hey there! Full availability for pet sitting as of now. If you need hours outside of my availability just contact me and let me know and I’ll be happy to make arrangements for you. I have lots of experience with different types of dogs and some cats. I make sure that they get love and affection, are given food at their respected times, and get tons of exercise and or walks.

About: I have trained one dog since she was 6 weeks old and is now 7. I also have a rescued abused dog that I trained that is 2.5 now. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I work full-time but can frequently stop by to take care of your pet. I love walks as well and playing fetch (or whatever your pet prefers). I would stop by at least 3 times a day and walk at least twice. For now, I will not house pets more than 2 pets in my home due to limited space. When you book me, I would love detailed information on what you expect from me!

About: I have experience training puppies. I also have past experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and bunnies over the past 5 years. These people are both friends, family, and strangers who received me as a recommendation. :) I take care of my pets DAILY. Pet care is the same as childcare and animals need constant love and attention. Walks and playing are essential to living their best life. My pets at home receive positive reinforcement and constant love and affection. My puppies get walked 5 times a day and love playing fetch outside.

“Great communication and followed the apps procedures. Got lots of photos and Doc was obviously happy. Thank you.”

About: I truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I am an athletic trainer and I have a flexible schedule and work close to home. My home is located near outdoor exploring areas as well as lots of other hiking trails which make for exciting nature walks. I have many years of experience walking and dog sitting during the day and overnight. I do not have any animals of my own so that I am able to devote lots of attention to guest dogs. I am an active person and I love hiking, playing fetch, and running around the dog park so I get along well with high energy dogs. My top priority is making sure that all needs are met and the dogs are happy and healthy.

About: I can't remember a time in my life without dogs! I grew up with three; however, my past experience working is primarily in dog walking/ drop ins. I also have past experience in puppy-sitting and house sitting. In 2020 I walked dogs briefly for a local hospice program. I would describe myself as reliable and a quick learner. I am currently a full-time student at UM looking to make some money on the side in a low-stress environment. My availabilities would be before and between class during the week, and any afternoon after 3:00. I am usually available for overnight sitting duties. I will always care for pets in clients' homes as per their instructions first. I will then act according to past experience and common sense secondly. I prioritize the safety and respect of my client's animals and homes.
