Dog Walking Rose Park

“Maisie was awesome with scout! Managing a lively 1 year old lab and returning her happy and exhausted was just what we needed for scout!! And what scout needed!! And maisie is a good communicator, on time, and kind!! The best kind of dog buddy!!”

“Maddisyn was great with our dogs, we would (and will) book her again! We could tell she’s spent a lot of time with pets, which really made leaving our pups alone so much easier. One of our dogs is aging and needs some more care; she was very attentive to our sweet old man. Great sitter!”

“Molly is an excellent dog walker! My dog is very anxious and scared to meet new people, however, Molly was very understanding and patient with him.”

About: I've had my own pets for over ten years, including a reactive dog so I know all pups need love! I've been the go-to dog and cat sitter for friends and family since I could drive, everything from weekend trips to month long visits, I've always been happy to help! As a pet parent we all know we need extra hands sometimes! I work part time, so although the times might vary based on the day, I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! I know how hard it is to leave your furry babies, so I try to make sure that I do my best to quell that anxiety when I can! I've had to leave my pups with friends and loved ones before, so I know that worries of someone outside of your family stopping in. I listen to all boundaries just the same as I would expect a pet sitter to do for me. That's the golden rule: Treats others (and their spaces) how you would want to be treated.

“Brianna is such an AMAZING sitter / walker! She has been incredibly reliable, communicative and generous with my pups! She has been available to both overnight with my dogs as well as take them on walks and they have always come home happy and healthy! And they all love her dog too! She takes them on adventures and really cares for them. She is my go-to for trusted pet sitters! I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. From taking care of cattle on our ranch, to our first family dog when I was 7 years old. More than 30 years later, loving and caring for animals has been a consistent my entire life. I trained my own rescue pup and we shared 9 incredible years together. She went everywhere with me including the gym. I know what it’s like to have a four legged friend be the love of your life. I also volunteered with a local animal rescue and have done some unusual and complex care for unique animals (everything from treating fungus on a Harris’s hawk’s talons to bottle-feeding orphaned porcupines), and most recently helped my own dog through her senior years, including multiple daily medications and giving her a rich full life despite complex needs. That last part matters most for how I work: if your pet needs a strict medication schedule, has anxiety, or requires special handling, I take it seriously and follow instructions exactly. I’m not learning on the job, I’ve done it for a dog I love. I’m a reliable and a clear communicator. You’ll get updates, photos, and honesty, no surprises. Currently offering drop-in visits and walks in Missoula. All sizes and ages welcome, including seniors and pets with medical needs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I’m currently remote and self-employed, which gives me a flexible, predictable schedule I can build client visits around. I’m available weekdays for drop-in visits and walks, and I build my work hours around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. I check messages regularly and confirm visit times clearly in advance, so you always know exactly when I’ll arrive. I’m a lifelong Missoulian with the kind of reputation where my neighbors have me hold on to their extra house keys. Trust and communication are incredibly important to me. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions exactly, feeding times, medication schedules, leash routines, and anything specific to your furry companion. I’m experienced administering medication that doesn’t require needles and comfortable with pets who need extra care or a calmer pace. I always double-check doors and gates are secure before leaving, and I send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and cared for.

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!

“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 have been surrounded by pets my entire life, I have even helped rescue a few dogs! I have experience in dog and house sitting. I am working part time currently so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I am trying to get 10k steps everyday so being able to walk dogs will make it 100x more enjoyable. I make sure dogs are comfortable with my presence and are able to relax as if they were with their owners still. I make sure to follow instructions that are provided for the best experience possible.

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with a remote job, giving me plenty of flexibility and free time to spend with your pet. I've been petsitting and housesitting since 2017, so I'm extremely experienced with many different types of animals, and I'd love to meet yours! I also adopted a dog of my own last year—a sweet and friendly Lab puppy named Cheddar. I grew up with a yellow lab and did most of his training work—I'm happy to teach your dog a new trick or reinforce regular training! I also lived with my sister and her dog for five years after college, frequently caring for her dog and house while she was away. After moving out, I fostered a 3-month-old husky/shepherd mix for a month, which was an amazing experience. Before adopting Cheddar, I spent over two and a half years traveling full-time as a housesitter, caring for pets all over the country. My goal is to create a pet care experience where both the pets and owner are happy and comfortable; I prioritize creating a secure and loving environment for your pets. If you would like to see additional references for my petsitting services, please let me know—I am happy to provide them upon request. For housesitting arrangements, I'm happy to provide the following services in addition to pet care: keeping the house clean and tidy, bringing in mail and packages, watering and maintaining plants, etc. As I work remote, I have plenty of time to care for pets and take them on walks at whatever time of day fits their schedule! I have a house with a HUGE fenced yard, and a very friendly pup who loves to play. I live within walking distance to dog parks and trails. For boarding services in my home, I ask that your dog be friendly with other dogs.

“Bella and Erik are super nice and helpful, and my dog Oliver took to them immediately. I'm so grateful to have found such lovely people to take care of my pooch at our new home.”

Karen R.

“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.”

Gabrielle P.

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

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: Hi! I’m Kayla I’ve been involved with animals my entire life! I have experience working in a doggy daycare with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have 10 years experience working with and caring for horses. I have owned dogs, cats, and small animals through out my entire life! I currently have a dog and a cat. Both of my pets were formerly strays, currently spoiled. I have experience with dog reactive pets too. I am a work from home accountant with an incredibly flexible schedule. I am also in graduate school at DU. I have a dog and cat, integrating another pet(s) into my schedule will not be a challenge. I currently live in a house with a large sectioned yard. I take my dog on at least 3 walks a day and we are a frequent at the dog park. My cat and dog get along great, but the cat tends to avoid new dogs. I am willing to accommodate any needs a clients dog may have.

“This is our first time using Rover and I am now a believer thanks to Sophia! She has been a great communicator, is very punctual, and our pups are always better behaved on the days she visits!”

Neala 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.”

About: I have had dogs of my own since I was born and have loved being around them my whole life. I love to set up little play dates for my dogs with neighbor’s and/or friend’s dogs! They are a part of my life and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I am currently a student-athlete in Montana, so most of my time is available on the weekends, but would love to work with anyone to fit something into my schedule! In California, I am off of school and available at most times. In Montana, I will be moving into a house with five other college girls that would love pets around and make the dogs feel at home! Making the dog feel comfortable in any situation/place is what I see as most important. In California, I have one dog that is very friendly and am sure would love to go to the park and meet 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!
