Dog Walking In Rose Park

About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets throughout my early teens up to the present. I have taken care of mostly dogs and cats but have cared for lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I have trained my two dogs commands like sit, down, shake and wait. As a sitter/walker I will love spending time with your pets, as I miss my family‘s pets that are in my home town! I am a full time pharmacy student at the University of Montana so my falls and springs are pretty busy with class. However I will always make time to spend time with the pet(s) when I can. I will always try and make time for a daily walk if taking care of dogs and spend time playing with cats. Back at home I have two dogs and a cat. So I know that trash should be securely placed and poop should be picked up regularly in the yard and in public areas. I love my pets at home and show them lots of affection and love and I hope the people watching would do this too.

“Brianna was really great- super responsible, reliable, and warm with our family who she interacted with. we will call her again!”

“Molly communicates well, and she showed great sensitivity to my (slightly difficult) dog's emotional needs. She was prompt and professional. Definitely would hire again.”

About: I work part‑time and have a very flexible weekly routine, which means I’m able to spend extended, consistent time with pets throughout the day. I’m usually home for large stretches of the morning and early afternoon, and I keep my schedule intentionally open so I can prioritize walks, playtime, and companionship. My home is close to town, and I don’t have a long commute or rigid office hours. How I found my first Cat! When I was in middle school; I found my first cat through a local shelter. I was so committed to giving her a safe and loving home that I created a full slideshow explaining how I would care for her and presented it to my parents. That experience taught me responsibility & empathy . Since then, my dedication to helping animals has only grown, and I’m eager to bring that same level of care, initiative, and compassion to a shelter team. Pet care is part of my daily routine; I schedule structured walks, maintain consistent feeding and play times, and provide attentive house‑sitting throughout the week. I’m an extremely outdoors‑focused person; long walks with any animal are my daily reset. In both my home and clients’ homes, I provide dependable, attentive care through structured walking routines and responsible, detail‑oriented house‑sitting.

“Jessica is so wonderful! She was so sweet to our pup and gave us updates and pictures from the walk which made us so happy. She was able to help us out on short notice. We definitely recommend her!”

“Kalyn is an excellent dog walker. She is reliable and always communicates well with me. Shel is also gentle with my Sheltie. I highly recommend her.”

About: I was raised around both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to Missoula from Atlanta, I’ve been missing my own family’s pets and am excited to share that love with others. Pet sitting gives me the chance to fill my cup by spending time with animals while also helping families feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for. I work full time, but since my job is fully remote, it’s easy for me to step away throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to give pets the attention they need—whether that’s walks, playtime, or snuggles—without disrupting their routine. Caring for animals fits naturally into my schedule, and I love being able to break up my workday with their company. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine—mealtimes, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I make sure their environment stays safe, clean, and stress-free, while also giving them extra love and attention so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. If caring for pets in my own space, we have a fully fenced in yard and my roommates have a wonderful 2.5 year old dog named Murphy. She’s the best and does great with other dogs!

About: I love spending time with dogs, teaching them new tricks and getting familiar with their personality. Also, my family has adopted up to a total of twelve dogs my whole life, so I can confidently say that I'm qualified for this position. Dogs need attention and my attention is focused on making all dogs happy, as they do for us. Ever since I left my parents house, I started to realize the effect that my parents dogs had on me. Dogs have always been a big part of who I am and I can fully relate with dog owners who consider their dogs as another family member. :) This is my attempt at recreating the connection that has dissipated ever since I left home. Woof!

“Ryan was great with our dogs! Even though this was our first meeting, I can tell that our dogs will love having her check in on them. Ryan was attentive and patient with our pups (and my over-explaining).”

“This was our first time using Rover for our pet and Matthew was a great choice! He was super communicative, timely and send us photos of our pup while we were away.”

About: Howdy! My name is Emily and I’d love to hang out with your doggo(s)! I was raised in a home where the pets were just another one of the kids! I moved to Missoula about 8 years ago with my now husband (who is from here) to go back to school and return to my familiar roots in the mountain west. Previous to living in Missoula I was a professional dog walker and pet sitter for a company called Woof Walks in Oakland, CA (please feel free to ask me about my off leash adventures!) While I'm no longer working with animals full time, I'd love to continue to provide pet care services. I understand how hard it can be to find a dog sitter, let alone someone you feel comfortable leaving with your beloved pets. Whether I get to spend time with your dog just one time or on a reoccurring basis, I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your animals! I am currently workng remotely from home so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to taking care of your beloved fur babies! When I'm pet sitting, I adjust my day to revolve around you dog(s) and their needs! While I work remotely from my computer, I have flexibility to accommodate any feeding and walking schedules + play time and cuddles in between!

About: I have been working at a dog kennel for the past 2 years now, and I absolutely love it! My responsibilities include walking dogs, feeding, cleaning, and administering medication. I feel very comfortable around all kinds of dogs, and I know how to properly work with dogs with different personalities and needs. I work at the dog kennel 3-4 days a week but I am available in the morning, evenings, and overnight if needed. On the days I do not work I am available all day to walk and socialize with pets. I have a trip planned in August, so July and September are more open for me. In my home I have two dogs who are friendly and love company, we also have a big yard and lots of cozy dog beds. I am also available to stay at the pets home since that is usually more comfortable for them. I have house sat many times and dogs are often happier when they are in a familiar space. When I house sit I make sure to maintain a clean and safe environment within the home for the family and for the pets.

About: College student wanting to care for your pets! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 9 years old and love them all. I’ll cater to your needs. I will be a college student and am looking to dog walk or visit between classes during the week. I will work with you on time and duration. For house pet-sitting I’m flexible to when I am free so reach out and ask about my availability! I respect the home I care for the dogs in and respect the rules set for their pets. I’m attentive to the dogs needs during my stay and make them top priority.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have had cats as well, so I'm comfortable with both. Most recently I've been the go-to sitter for my neighbor's cat during her extended trips away — sometimes up to a month at a time. Animals tend to be at ease around me, and I bring the same calm, unhurried attention to pet care that I do to everything else. Your pet will be well looked after and genuinely enjoyed, not just managed. I’m reliable, quiet, respectful of your home, and happy to follow detailed instructions for your pet’s care. I work from home on a flexible, part-time basis, which means I'm around most of the day and can give pets consistent attention and company. I'm available for drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week with good advance notice. I'm attentive, calm, and take pet care seriously. For in-home sitting I treat your space with care and keep everything exactly as you'd want it. I'm comfortable with a range of pets and temperaments, and I'll communicate with you regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Lucy is wonderful! She did two walks a day for my Golden Retriever while I was out of town! He loves her and would wait by the front door for her each time! She is so sweet and accommodating!”

“Betsy was great. Very communicative re timing and with visual updates. I would definitely send my pooch hiking with her again.”

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 young adult who is passionate about giving animals the best, most happy time full of treats and playtime. I have experience successfully training dogs as I currently have a puppy of my own. i have a set schedule for my job where I work Saturday - Wednesday during the day; leaving the evening and my days off open for fun activities with my dog or others. I live in a pet friendly apartment and have a little one of my own to keep your fur baby company, I am also able to crate you pet if needed. I typically let my pup roam freely around the apartment as he is a very good listener. If I were to care for a pet in a clients home, I will respect their ways of living and the rules that they have set for their pet(s).

“Emma was awesome! She was great with my pup and very communicative each time she dropped in to take the dog for a walk.”
