About: We have always had at least one dog for over 30 years if not horses, cows, chickens, cats, pigs...even birds! You could say we enjoy animals! I am retired but still selling real estate part-time! I always enjoy having dogs here with me. I breed BerneDoodles in MT but currently do not have any pets of my own. I have a fenced area off the barn for play times and an unfinished basement to play when it is to cold outside! I can adjust feeding times etc to fit your pets needs because they are all different!
“Kylee was amazing. I have a dog with high anxiety and she handled him perfectly and was very accommodating when we were running late unexpectedly. Will definitely book with her again.”
About: Pets hold a special place in my heart, and they truly feel like my best friends. With 13 years of experience working at a veterinarian clinic before transitioning to teaching, caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I thoroughly enjoy training dogs, whether it’s for hunting waterfowl or just teaching them fun tricks around the house. To me, pets are much like our children; they deserve love, attention, and care as vital members of our families. My deep affection for animals has been a constant in my life, and it’s a joy to share that love with other families and their beloved pets. I am flexible with my availability when I’m not traveling, and I would be honored to care for your pets as if they were my own. You can trust that they will receive the love and attention they deserve while in my care. I’m retired and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule throughout the week, including weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and will only be away for brief periods when I travel. Your furry friends will always be my top priority! I have 3.5 acres of property and I’m excited to be adding a fenced area this summer! My dogs are my precious companions, and they get to hang out inside the house when they’re not outside playing or taking care of business. They’re definitely spoiled and loving life!

I would like to lend you the flexibility to leave home with complete confidence that your critters are in good hands. My schedule is open. I will gladly adhere to your schedules and house rules. No dogs on the couch? Not when I’m there either. Do you have a feeding routine? We will stick to it. Trustworthiness, consistency, and reliability are my top three priorities.
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was a child! My husband and I have a rescue German Shepherd, his name is Kiba. He is 3. We have 3 kids. I have a dog and a cat! So taking care of animals is a part of my regular routine. But I'm also a stay-at-home-mom of 3 kids. So I'm home a lot and have the time! I've worked in many people's homes in the past, not with animals, and I'm very respectful of peoples spaces. I'm there to do a job and love your animal while you're busy! The same in my home, they'll be there to be loved when you can't!

“This was my first time ever using Rover and have someone watch over my 10 month old puppy. Savannah gave me updates with my puppy and send pictures. Overall, she’s great, attentive, and trustworthy. When I got back everything was exactly how I left it and my puppy seemed very happy and very well taken care of.”
About: Dogs are my passion! Each furry friend has unique personalities that I love learning about. I had a dog during High School and College that brought so much joy to my life. Many friends ask me to watch their dogs for a few days at their home or mine. I love each dog and will try hard to learn their personality. Their comfort, safety, and joy is my priority. I’m currently a stay at home mother. I have two children that tag along with me. If it’s after 4pm, my husband can watch the kids while I pay extra attention to my furry friends. At this moment I live in an apartment, so I will not be able to take any of my furry friends to my home. I do have lots of grass around my apartment and near by. So if needed, I can watch them for long periods of time outside.
About: I've had pets my whole life, I love love love dogs, they're so loyal and loving, it's hard not to fall in love with them! I currently have three sweet dogs, a mini golden doodle and 2 Jack Russell terriers. Always up for a play or snuggles sessions. I've just stopped working at my job in the school district for the summer, so I'm free all day everyday. I love my 3 dogs, and I'm a big fan of all my neighbors dogs too! I've dog sat in my home for friends and family for many years now, I also have 3 dogs of my own that love to play with visiting dogs. We have a doggy door that gives pups easy access to the fenced back yard at all times of the day.
About: I have taken care of dogs of every size and breed for 10+ years. I am adaptable with each dog’s needs and personality. I have worked with dogs who have special health requirements. I have also worked with many elderly dogs. Many of these elderly dogs were large breeds and needed to be carried to get to different places. I am capable of lifting larger dog breeds who may struggle to walk. I am currently working part-time while doing online graduate school. I can play, stop in, and walk dogs in the mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I cannot watch any dogs at my home due to the no pet policy. I am willing to play and feed your pets in your home.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up. I know how to feed and bathe them. When I take dogs on walks I like to reward them afterwards with treats. I’m very patient and will clean after them if they had made a mess or accident. I’m currently working, and taking up general studies! I have available time in the morning and afternoon from 8am-3pm! I’d love to make some new friends with your fur babies and you! When walking your dog I will keep a leash on them. Will occasionally take them to play in a dog park if it is confirmed, okay. I also have one friendly fur baby they can walk with or have play dates with.

I would highly recommend working with John to take care of your pets to give you peace of mind as you spend time away from them!”

Anna G.
“I've known Anna for over 10 years, and I've never known her without a dog. Every time I visit her house, her dogs are full of life and energetic, but they still stay attached at the hip to her. She misses her dogs too much when she's away for too long so she takes them on every vacation she can. She’s also the kind of person who treats every dog like family, whether it’s her own or someone else’s. I've had her watch my dogs of several occasions, and I've recommended her to several of my friends as well. Anna is incredibly reliable, caring, and intuitive when it comes to animal needs. You can trust that your dog will be safe, loved, and probably a little spoiled under her care (in the best way). I wouldn’t, and haven't, hesitate for a second to leave my own pets with her.”
Sarah J.
“Sarah is a very good friend of mine and has watched my animals multiple times. I have a dog, cat, and a rabbit. She is great at paying detailed attention to the specific care and nurturing required for anyone’s furry friends and has never given me any reason to believe that my animals would not be under premium care while I’m away. Whatever the needs, I have no doubt she would be willing to comply and provide excellent services!”
