About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as memory serves. My family always had at least one dog and a cat or two. Since we lived out in the country, we always managed to take in strays (and by strays I mean the ones I usually brought home). I volunteered at a local shelter in high school where I got more experience with elderly dogs. Since then, I’ve continued to pet sit for friends and family. As an animal lover living in one of the many non pet-friendly apartments in Bozeman, this is how I get my fix. I currently work for myself and make my own work schedule so I try to stay flexible. I am usually available to drop in and check in them or if I’m pet sitting in their own home, will make it a priority to be there most of the time. Caring for your babies in their own home environment is super important. I can make myself available to be around as much as I’m needed while you are away. I like to take detailed notes of how you prefer to care for your pets and stick to their schedule as much as possible.

“Michelle has walked our dogs a few times now, and did an amazing job! She was always on time and our dogs loved her”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was eight, my family and friends have relied on me to do the duties i need to do to keep their pets safe and happy while they are away. I’m currently working a part-time job and have plenty of free time in between to walk dogs or simply check in on them. I like keeping myself busy I live in a small apartment with my cat but I’m more than happy to stop by and walk dogs around their neighborhood or drive them to a park if allowed.

About: I LOVE animals! Dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, basically all of the furry friends! We've had dogs and cats my whole life (from puppies and kittens to grumpy old men dogs). I've taken care of many of my friends and families dogs in my home and in their homes. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for your pets! My schedule changes regularly but I’m generally available anytime, just send me a message! I have six acres with trails for walking your dogs! I have an older, playful and friendly dog plus two dog savvy cats. I do not have a fenced area but will leash walk the dogs (or no leash at owners request). I have hard wood floors and stairs that may not be ideal for tripods or aging senior dogs (unless they’re used to that). I no longer have a kennel, but if you bring one and want your dog kenneled I can do that. Your pup will enjoy lots of pets, snuggles, play time both indoors and outdoors and of course treats (as approved by pet parents)!


“Stephanie was absolutely amazing. She really worked with our schedule, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our two dogs. Two out of two pups would book again :D”


“Kathryn was timely, communicative and very understanding. She was very professional in her handling of an anxious and very shy dog. I would definitely recommend her.”


About: I grew up with Corgis and have owned a Siberian Husky, Yellow Lab, and German Shepherd as an adult. I really enjoy all types of dogs and helping them live their best lives. I like getting to know dogs and what they need to be happy and healthy. I currently work part-time from home and have a pretty flexible schedule I can adapt it around pet care. I love being active outdoors and can even run with your dog if they have a high activity level. I will primarily be offering services in client's homes. I find that most pets are more comfortable in their own environments and that this leads to the best outcomes for all.

About: I have been house and dog sitting since I was in my teens. I have a Yorkie myself that is registered as a service animal and needs to travel with me, but she is amazing with both dogs and cats, is hypoallergenic, doesn’t shed, and is house-trained. I know how important it is for some pets to be in their familiar environment while you are away, and I’m here to help meet whatever needs they have in their normal routine, including walks, medications, watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, and cleaning up any unexpected messes your pet may have. I’m meticulously clean, responsible, and respectful of your space. I love to hike with my own dog and we’re very active so I’m happy to meet any exercise needs your dog may have as well. Reach out to book today! Your fur babies and home are in good hands. I work full-time M-F, but I’m salaried and could absolutely come check on your pet every couple of hours, if needed, around work meetings. I’m happy to provide walks in the morning, afternoon or evening to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I’m available all day on weekends and all evening. I know how important it is for some pets to remain in their home when their parents are away. I’m happy to give your pet that comfort and security while providing additional services, such as cleaning up any unexpected pet messes, bringing in your mail, and watering houseplants. I have a small service dog that needs to travel with me, but she is great with both cats and dogs, is hypoallergenic, and doesn’t shed. I’m meticulously clean and responsible, and love animals.

“Elie was a great communicator and showed my pup Roscoe a great time by bringing him to some local trails. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid...I can remember at least 45 of those years, lol. I've had 1-6 animals almost my entire life. I worked professionally at The Olde Towne Pet Resort in Springfield, VA for 6.5yrs in every department: Pet Care (boarding: 180 dog suites, 40 cat suites,) to Doggy Day Camp, Bathing & Grooming, Basic Obedience & Agility Training, & Guest Services. I have experience with all sizes, breeds, & behaviors. I can administer topical, oral, & injectable medications/supplements. I monitor behaviors and look for things abnormal to ensure the safety of your pets because it truly is all about them. I promise to treat them like my own. I also volunteered at the local shelter, Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center, in Lyndhurst, VA for 2yrs. Last but definitely not least, I created a dog food company in VA: Long Ride Dawg Food that is focused on sustainable health through nutrition. It is safe for cats too! Message me for more info. I am going to bring Long Ride to Idaho as well, stay tuned. My schedule is open right now. I am also a Traveling Chef (currently off season) & Private Chef locally. Message me if my schedule is blocked, there is always a possibility we can work something out. I am flexible and I am a creative solutions provider. I will tailor each visit, walk or service to meet you and your pet's needs. Safety & security of your pet is my biggest concern. I will treat your 4 legged (or 3 or 2 legged, etc...) children as if they were mine. ❤️🙏 🐾 ❤️🙏🐾❤️🙏🐾❤️

About: I absolutely love animals. I grew up having dogs and cats and am very comfortable with all different types of breeds. Bonding and connecting with animals is very special to me and I will treat your pet just the same as if they were my own. Spending as much time outdoors is very important to me so I can assure you that your pet will get to be outside playing whenever possible! I have a great big yard that is always available or we can go for hikes that are nearby to your location. My current lifestyle allows me to be open during most mornings and evenings and sometimes during the day. As long as I know ahead of time, I may or may not be able to accommodate some random hours. I can easily have your dog over at my place if this works out better for you. Lots of space to roam and explore with Gold Mountain and other trails nearby.

“Our dogs had a great walk with Raven!”


“Love Andrea! She got along really well with all 3 of my dogs even before our walk.”


About: I provide exceptional pet care here in sandpoint, Idaho. I specialize in professional dog walking and in-home dog boarding. I used to train dogs and I like to take dogs with me on hikes! I will provide you with photos of your dog every time I walk them or just throughout the day! it will fit perfectly with my fully time job as I work remotely and I have no other pets. This means your pet will have my undivided attention! I will prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being. I provide personalized care, structured exercise, and a safe environment seven days a week. Your pet will feel right at home with me!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and love all kinds of animals. I am very familiar with pet sitting and will treat your pet like my own! My schedule is very flexible so your pet will get the attention it needs and deserves! I am available on weekends and most holidays with little notice needed. I have an apartment with plenty of walking trails nearby to keep your pet active. Pets will not be kept alone and I can cater to any special needs from the owner.

About: I have pet sit for as long as one month at a time since graduating college in 2021, and I have trained my family KBD's to have excellent on and off leash trail etiquette so that we can spend as much time together as possible doing what we love (hiking, running, foraging for berries, and swimming). I have also raised and pet sit cats, including kittens, and love getting to know their unique preferences when it comes to play and affection. When pet sitting, I take into account the activity needs of the dog and comfort of the owner so that you can come home to a happy dog that is the perfect amount of excited to see you. I will always respect you and your pet's boundaries to make them as comfortable as possible while you are gone. I'm a very active person who will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is safe and successful in all our activities, whether that is making sure your reactive pup can play fetch in a secluded area away from other dogs, or your fluffy Houdini has plenty of stimulating games to play to avoid a boredom fueled escapade. I believe in positive reinforcement, and I am happy to uphold any training expectations you have for your pet. I currently work 4 days a week Wednesday through Saturday for 4 hour shifts. Since I live about 20 minutes from town, I am only accepting boarding Sunday through Tuesday. I do however accept house-sitting jobs on work days provided your pet can be alone for up to 5 hours at a time. I live in Selle Valley in a tiny cabin. Although I have a large meadow in the backyard, there is a large population of deer and turkeys I cannot allow dogs to chase. That being said, I am happy to take your dog on safe adventures and am a regular at the dog park, Odin Bay, the Bay Trail, and hiking trails all over the area from Pine Street woods to Beehive Lake. I do allow dogs on furniture and in bed and have plenty of space to take dogs on leashed walks multiple times a day. I have family near by and can organize play dates/socialization with Lupine, who is a gentle giant and great with puppies and friendly dogs. While boarding I prefer not to leave dogs on their own if at all possible. When house-sitting I am more comfortable leaving dogs alone for reasonable amounts of time, and work with you to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable at home. Again, I will work with you to decide what kinds of activities are appropriate for your pet so that you have a dog that is happy, but not too happy, to see you when you get home!

“John and his partner, Sierra have been awesome dog walkers. They’re super professional, on-time, and especially great communicators. Anna (dog) is somewhat anxious and even unfriendly to folks she doesn’t know, but they’ve been undeterred and have greeted her with consistent warmth. As a result, Anna’s coming around to receive John and Sierra as welcome friends. Really appreciate the effort to make the time worth it to Anna (who has a lot of energy and likes to run) by showing up in jogging shoes and jogging off down the street.”

“Grace is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We’ve used her dog-sitting services multiple times and she is always super easy to communicate with, dependable, and she went above and beyond what we asked of her. She asked if she could take our dog for a nice trail run which made us so happy to know he was getting out for some fun exercise that we didn’t expect while we were out of town. We highly recommend Grace if you’re looking for complete peace of mind for your pet while you are away.”
