Pet Sitting in Polson

About: About Me: Hi, I’m Shauna, a dedicated dog lover from the Willow Glen neighborhood in Kalispell! I live on a spacious 1.26 acre of land with a securely fenced backyard, ideal for dogs to run, play, and relax. My 8-year-old Chihuahua and my mom’s 10-year-old Yorkie are my furry sidekicks, and I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing home-away-from-home experience for your pup. Inspired by countless hours of César Millan’s Dog Whisperer, I use his positive techniques to encourage balanced behaviors and gently redirect unwanted ones with healthy rules, boundaries and limitations. I’m experienced with dogs’ needs, from managing separation anxiety to maintaining feeding routines to administering medications. My pet-proofed home has no toxic plants, and I offer a cozy space for naps and play. I can send daily photo and video updates to keep you connected. As a background-checked sitter, I prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. Whether it’s kennel-free dog boarding, walking, or house sitting in Kalispell, I’m here to give your dog tailored care. Contact me to discuss your pup’s needs and arrange a meet-and-greet! Services: Boarding (Limited Basis): $80/night (includes lots of supervised playtime outside, feeding and cuddles). Drop-In Visits: $25/30-minute visit (feeding, potty breaks, playtime). House Sitting: $75/night (care in your home for 1 house pet. Cost for additional pets negotiable). Dog Walking: $25/30-minute walk (1–2 dogs). Daycare: $45/day (drop-off care for small/medium/large dogs up to 9 hours. Overtime rate $20/hr.) Experience: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, like Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, German Pointers, English Pointers, German Shepherds, Labs, lovable mutts, cats and even horses, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I apply César Millan’s techniques to maintain calm, balanced behaviors and ensure a happy stay. I’m comfortable with special diets and reinforcing training. Availability: See schedule for availability. Boarding available on weekends and select weekdays (book early for holidays). Drop-ins, walks, and daycare offered Monday–Friday, 6 AM–9 PM. House sitting by request. Safety: My acre of land features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed for safety. I send daily updates and follow your pup’s routine to keep them comfortable. My mom and 23 year old son, both avid dog lovers, live with me and will be here for those short times I have to be away. I'm currently working part time and the calendar will reflect my availability. When I am pet-sitting in my home, my mom and 23 year old son who both live with me, will be available if I need to go to an appointment. As I mentioned in my bio, my 1.26-acre property features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed with no toxic plants. I send daily updates via text and follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and safe, kennel-free for comfort.

About: Pet passionate, compassionate, and having traveled for years, leaving my fur family behind, I understand the pull at your heart-strings and the delicate balance of caring for your fur family. As a retired, pet mommy empty-nester, I'm dedicated full-time to paying my passion forward in loving memory of my fur babies. I have been proudly serving Flathead Valley fur families since 2008, providing 24/7 companionship, house sitting, boarding, day care, drop-in visits, walks, and training on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or occasional basis. I am highly adaptable and comfortable handling all varieties of pets, seniors, and those with special needs. Customizing my services to fit fur family needs is my specialty! I strive to be the unsurpassed standard of excellence and have built my success on reliability, quality service, commitment and customer loyalty. As a retired empty-nester I am flexible and available full-time, 24/7; dedicated to serving one fur family at a time in your home or mine. In my home or yours I adhere to pet care guidelines and customize my services and surroundings based on the individual needs of each furry in order to assure the utmost in comfort and care.

About: I will drop in as often as necessary, can make your home look “lived-in”(turning lights off/on, watering flowers, etc), and I will become your dog’s second best friend! I promote pup training and will work hard to reinforce positive behavior, and love trying to teach an old dog new tricks. I have a Newfoundland that I even managed to teach to do a variety of tricks including rolling over! Also, I have had experience with tempermental dogs/puppies that don’t do well with others. I’m available for drop in visits and to take the dog out of the house for walks or trips to the park. I’m available daily before work (7:45am or earlier) as well as after work (6:00pm or later) and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I look forward to spoiling your pup with lots of love, attention, play time, and treats! If you’re looking for someone reliable, flexible, and friendly, then I look forward to meeting your little (or big!) dog. I currently am working full-time, Monday-Thursday, 8:00am-6:00pm. I can drop by after work, or on the weekends. I love spending my free time with animals and am happy to spend quality time with your pet(s)! I provide animals with lots of extra love while their owners are away. I like to provide one-on-one care with the animals and play with them as needed!

About: I have loved animals since I can remember, we always had cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, and the occasional sheep or pig raised for the fair. Those experiences gave me a great understanding of animal care and responsibilities. I would love to host your fur-babies in my home (or come to yours). It’s just my husband and I and our two very active Idaho Shag dogs Odie and Pickles that are basically my children. Odie’s whole personality revolves around THE BALL so lots of fetch, outdoor time, going for walks, belly scratches, and treats happen in our house. I can accommodate whatever your dog is used to make their stay as stress free as possible and will ask you for any do’s and don’ts for their care, activity level, and training. I am experienced giving medications orally or intravenously, senior dog care, grooming and training. I do work a traditional 9-5pm job in a professional setting, but am very flexible, and go home for mid-day breaks. My schedule in the evening and weekend is flexible, just message me to see if I can accommodate. I own two very active Idaho Shag dogs, Odie an Pickles. They are free to roam in the home and on furniture, but also have a crate available for your pet if needed, or can crate mine. We are on a 2 acre, mostly fenced property adjacent to horse pastures If your pet has issues with livestock, or wanders please let me know and I can adjust my care as needed.

About: Passionate Dog Trainer/Walker Ready to go on Adventures Hello there! My name is Zoro, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your friendly neighborhood dog trainer/walker. With a heart full of love for all our furry friends, I cannot wait to embark on exciting adventures with your beloved canine companion. My journey as a dog walker began years ago when I discovered my deep-rooted connection with animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I quickly realized that spending time with dogs brought me unparalleled joy and fulfillment. From that moment on, I knew that my purpose in life was to provide exceptional care and support to our four-legged friends. When it comes to my dog walking philosophy, I believe in nurturing not only physical well-being but also emotional happiness for our furry pals. My primary goal is to create a safe and stimulating environment where dogs can thrive, explore, and have an absolute ball during our walks together. With an innate understanding of canine behavior, I am adept at tailoring my approach to cater to the unique needs and personalities of each dog I encounter. Whether it's a high-energy pooch who craves a vigorous run in the park or a more mellow companion who prefers a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, I am committed to providing a customized experience that leaves their tail wagging with joy. Safety is my top priority, and you can rest assured that your furry friend will be in capable hands under my care. I am well-versed in canine first aid and CPR, and I maintain a keen eye for potential hazards during our outings. I am also experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that even the most timid or boisterous canines feel secure and comfortable throughout our walks. In addition to the physical exercise aspect, I strongly believe in the power of mental stimulation for dogs. I incorporate engaging activities, such as interactive games and puzzle toys, to keep their minds sharp and active. Whether it's sniffing out hidden treats or practicing basic obedience commands, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to make our time together both fun and mentally enriching. Above all, I strive to build trusting relationships not only with the dogs I walk but also with their human companions. Open and transparent communication is key to providing the best care possible, and I am always available to discuss any concerns, requests, or special instructions you may have. Your dog's well-being and happiness are of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to going the extra mile to ensure their needs are met.

Together, we'll create pawsome memories that will last a lifetime! I work from anywhere I have mostly answer phone calls for my business. Which gives me time to take care of dogs. Train them and take them on adventures. When it comes to caring for pets in either my home or my client's home, I ensure that their well-being, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. The specific care provided may vary depending on the service I offer, so let's delve into both scenarios: Caring for pets in my home: If I offer services where pets stay with me, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that replicates a home-like atmosphere. Here's how I care for pets in my home: 1. Comfortable accommodations: I provide a cozy space for pets to relax, ensuring they have a comfortable bed or a designated area where they can unwind. 2. Regular feeding and hydration: I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner and make sure fresh water is readily available at all times. Special dietary needs or medication administration will be strictly followed as instructed. 3. Exercise and playtime: I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or enjoying interactive toys, I ensure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require. 4. Regular potty breaks and hygiene: I maintain a consistent bathroom schedule, taking pets outside for potty breaks. I also provide regular grooming, including brushing, bathing, and nail trims, if necessary. 5. Safety and supervision: I create a secure environment, free from potential hazards, and monitor pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I supervise their interactions with other pets, if applicable, to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment. Caring for pets in the client's home: If I offer services where I visit the client's home to care for their pets, my approach revolves around maintaining their routine and surroundings. Here's how I care for pets in their own homes: 1. Adhering to routines: I strive to follow the established routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions for their care. 2. Feeding and medication administration: I ensure pets receive their meals according to the provided schedule and administer any necessary medications as instructed. 3. Exercise and enrichment: I engage pets in physical activities tailored to their needs, whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in interactive play. I also provide mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and positive reinforcement training. 4. Maintaining cleanliness: I keep the pet's living areas clean and tidy, including regular litter box cleaning for cats or ensuring a clean outdoor space for dogs. 5. Security and well-being: I make sure the home is secure during my visits, ensuring doors and windows are properly closed and locked. I also keep a watchful eye for any potential signs of distress or health issues in the pets and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client's home, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in every possible way.

About: I've had pets since I was 3. Dogs,cats, fish, and even a rabbit when I was young. I have family and friends who regularly trust me to care for their fur babies and I do as of they were my own. I've mainly always watched the pups in their own homes as I do have animals of my own and I want my new buddy to feel at home and comfortable as possible. My dream goal is to someday be able to care for animals as a full time job and way in the future, I would love to open my own dog sanctuary to give unwanted and especially senior animals the best, most loving life for however much time they have left. I do work full time but am fully available for overnights beginning on Thursdays at 5:30. I'm fully free from then until Monday morning at 7 when I am back to work. Of course, if care is needed during the week then I can always accommodate that. When caring for your pet, you're the boss. I'm just there to keep them safe, loved, played with, and fed until you are home again. This being said, any and all rules and guidelines you have for your animals will be strictly followed by me.
