House Sitting in Schilling

About: I am a responsible individual who will take wonderful care of your pets. I have experience pet sitting for individuals with large and small pets, including dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time outside, so taking your pets on walks and playing with them will help them burn their energy, settle their nerves, and enjoy their time with me. I am home for the summer from college, and I am looking for a job where I can take care of pets and spend time with them. I enjoy pet sitting and being able to take care of animals to hopefully allow them to be more comfortable while the owners are away. From my work over the summer, I am hoping to put my earnings back into my education when I move back to college in the fall. I will care for your pets by being engaged while exercising and playing with them, and keeping them on a leash if/when the pets are outside of the yard. In addition, I will always make sure the animals get their medications if necessary and have ample and suitable water and food for any time they are alone.

“Ryan was incredible!!! She was so sweet and great with our 3 crazy labs. She also went above and beyond bringing out treats for them as well as bringing water out for them after our cistern pump stopped working during her time watching them. We appreciate her attentiveness and will absolutely book with her in the future!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and at one point my family had three at once — we just love them. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including managing arthritis and providing gentle, accommodating care. I’ve also trained my youngest dog in basic obedience and a handful of fun tricks. With a wide range of hands‑on experience and a genuine love for animals, I’d be excited to spend time with your pets. I’m wrapping up my college semester, so my schedule is opening up and very flexible. I’m looking to make pet sitting my main job going into May, which means I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. I live in an apartment complex, so I’m most comfortable caring for your pet in your home. It’s also the most appropriate and accommodating option for your pet, since they’ll be in a space that feels familiar and safe to them.

“I cannot say enough good things about Andrea! She took such good care of our pups, sent updates, and even handled several unexpected hiccups with grace and kindness. We will definitely be asking for her help in the future!”

“Brandy was great with our pup Finley! He’s a shy guy and she took the time to build his trust and became his cuddle buddy! She sent regular updates and photos. It’s such a relief to know Fin was in good hands!”

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.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! Growing up, cats were our only pets and they still hold a special place in my heart. For the past 12 years, my parents, sister, and extended family have slowly grown their packs of dogs and, as a result, I’ve become a huge fan of playing and snuggling with those furry beasts. I love taking dogs outside (hiking, running, camping, rafting, etc) or cuddling up on the couch after a long day. Dogs of any size are fine by me, but I have a lot of love for larger and more energetic breeds. I am reliable, honest, and positive in my interactions with humans and animals! I am a teacher without pets or kids of my own, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can easily fit pet care into my routine. I will respect the boundaries and expectations you set for how to care for your pets and home. I will treat your animals with affection and give them the attention they deserve.

About: I have had dogs my whole life- most recently a 5 year old mini bernedoodle who I trained and walk/run with/take care of daily! I love all dogs and strive to be around them as often as possible. I am currently a student at the University of Montana, but my schedule is very flexible and I would be happy to adjust it if needed! I care deeply about my dog and his safety as I would for any other dog. We live on about 25 acres so he has lots of room to run around which he loves.

“Lynda was the most accommodating and considerate house sitter. She met with us several times prior to our departure and became familiar with both our dogs. My pups were well cared for and we got daily updates with pictures. The added bonus was I returned to an immaculate clean house - I highly recommend Lynda as a reliable and loving friend to your pets when you are out of town.”

“Sariah stayed with my two doggos at my place for 4+ days while I was out of town. They got great walks with her and she was an excellent guest in my home. I can back to happy, well-cared for pups!”

About: I have been around pets from a young age and grew up with both dogs and cats. My parents wanted to teach my sister and I the responsibility of taking care of our pets, and got us a cat that we were solely responsible to care for and I have loved caring for pets ever since! I have taken care of many pets since and have a dog of my own now. I work outside of my home Monday through Thursday from 8-5, I do have a shorter day on Friday, working 8-2. I have an hour break for lunch and typically go home to let my own pup out and would happily to the same for yours! I have a fenced in yard and a pup that loves everyone and will happily make your pets feel right at home. I can crate your pet if needed. My goal is always to make sure that any pet that I’m caring for feels comfortable and gets lots of play time.

“Alaina was a very caring and thoughtful cat sitter and house sitter for the week she took care of our 3 cats. Upon our return the cats seemed in good spirits and the house was clean and in order. We will definitely ask her back and hope she is available when we are in need again! Thank you Alaina!”

“Cam was wonderful with our pets and very responsible in care of our home while we were out of the country! He communicated regularly, which was very reassuring. I would use him again and highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have over 13 years of hands-on experience fostering dogs and puppies through the Humane Society of Western Montana. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and high-energy breeds. I grew up around labs, dachshunds, and rescue mutts, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and truly love spending time with dogs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and care, I’ll treat them like my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week depending on your pet’s needs. I’m very reliable, responsive, and understand how important consistency and routine are for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 13 years of experience fostering dogs and puppies through the Humane Society of Western Montana, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules and medication instructions you have for your dog.

About: I come from a 4-dog family and love spending time with both dogs and cats. I’ve done overnight doggy care in my home and others, including walks and medicine administration. I’ve done kitty drop-ins and love it. Happy to take pups on walks, practice basic commands, and spend good quality time with your animals! I’ll likely be working part time this summer, including remote work, so a combination of daily drop ins, walks, and some overnight work is doable. I’m flexible and communicative! I have a 2 bedroom apartment with one roommate and can host one small dog or one cat for up to 3 nights. Otherwise, I’m happy to come to your home, where I’ll be a clean and quiet guest. I love spending time with animals and would love to get to know your neighborhood on walks.

“Reid took amazing care of Aiko tending to her every need and introducing her to new and fun situations and activities. She’s the same happy girl I left only with more confidence and I’m so grateful for the time and love he gave her. He also housesat for me in Seeley Lake, over an hour away from his home. I know that was a huge ask and Reid actually thanked me for letting him stay here! In a nutshell, Reid is a great guy who took excellent care of both my home and my best buddy and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!”

I am available during the weekends and have mornings and evenings free during the week. I am usually working from 10 am to 5 pm Monday-Thursday but have a break around 1 pm. I have a fenced yard and a house. I live near a lot of hiking trails and a park. I love spending time outside and can provide pet care at my house or yours!
