About: I grew up with dogs and cats since I was born. I can’t have pets where I live so I enjoy taking care of others when the opportunity arises. Since 2017 I've been watching friends’, coworkers’, and neighbors’ pets in Gardiner. My lifetime of growing up with dogs and cats has provided the necessary skills to provide a safe, fun setting to watch others' pets. And let's be honest, they're so much more than "just a dog" or "just a cat." Pets are family and friends. I work full-time, but my work is flexible to the point where I can leave and return at anytime so long as I complete my 40 hours a week. I prefer to show up to the client’s house at least once—sometimes more—before I begin petsitting. This allows the pet to be more comfortable with me and it allows me to learn their routine and the procedures to follow to ensure the best experience for the pet.

“Ryan was awesome with our dogs! He stayed over at our home and took great care of them. He gave them lots of love, walks and attention. We even received pictures and videos or our dogs playing. We would definitely ask Ryan to watch our pups for us again in the future.”


“Jestine took great care of our two dogs, fish, and home while we were away for a week. She sent us daily check-ins with photos and videos which we appreciated. Our home was left clean and pups were happy. We highly recommend Jestine!”


“Kareena is amazing! I was in town for a couple days and decided last minute to do a day trip to Yellowstone. Kareena responded quickly and was able to accommodate my request, even on short notice. She had excellent communication ahead of and during the visit. She arrived on time and immediately took to my dogs. She was incredibly kind and thorough in asking questions to best care for them. One of my pups is recovering from spinal surgery and has strict postop instructions, Kareena was able to safely care for her and both dogs seemed very happy and comfortable when I got back. I'd absolutely book with her if I'm ever in town again.”


“Daria was amazing! She watched our little pug, Kona, over the weekend and sent lots of pics and updates - we always appreciate lots of communication because we miss Kona while we’re away! Kona was also very relaxed when we returned, and we could tell she had gotten all the attention she needed to forget about us ? there have been previous times with other sitters where we’ve come home to a very stressed and anxious pug, and we can tell that she didn’t get very much attention while we were gone - and that breaks our hearts. But not the case when we used Daria! I’m hoping to use Daria every time we go out of town if we can!”


“We booked Allie for a second time to watch our dogs, and she did just as amazing as the first time! Its really clear how much she cares about our animals while we are there and is very respectful of our space. There will most definitely be a third booking!”


About: I baby my own dog, and I would do the same for yours. If you have a need, I can meet it. You name it. I’m available select dates, typically weekends. I can do multiple check ins throughout the day. If we chat, we can work something out for both of us. I maintain a controlled environment while I am absent (air conditioning, security, full water bowl, etc.). I also provide a free and fun environment when I am present (trips to the park, fetch, socializing with other dogs, etc.).

“Briana is awesome! She takes our dogs on walks every week, and has also stayed at our place and taken care of our pup when we're away over weekends. Briana's responsible and super responsive. Our dog is sometimes wary of strangers, but she warmed to Briana immediately. We feel like our dog is in great hands with Briana.”


About: I have worked with Ididarod champions with the Seavey's as well as helped out an older gentleman run his small kennel. I have lots of experience with pets and their families. I also currently work at an Animal Hospital, where a lot of my passion revolves around the care and health of our furry friends. I believe that our lives improve with pets in our lives, and I can guarantee to treat your babies as if they are my own. I love pets and being able to care for them. If they are happy, its easy for me to find joy. I plan to make time for every pet that is put under my care. I can care for pets at their home, as this tends to be more comfortable for pets that I watch under my care, however I can offer my home if need be.

About: I grew up on a farm in Upstate New York, taking care of my dogs, chickens, cats, and horses. I've loved animals for a long time, and feel that they provide a much needed therapeutic and calming part of my life. I'm in London doing my Masters at UCL, and would love to be able to spend some time with dogs! As far as house sitting, besides caring for my own animals my whole life, I have done dog sitting for 4 days for a good friend in Boston (where I went to Brandeis University). The dogs I took care of there were older, one had significant arthritis that made it difficult to move. I took them outside to go to the bathroom frequently, and even went swimming with them once! Moreover I have worked as a groom and stable hand at a horse show barn, caring for horses. I really love spending time with animals, especially dogs, because they are so loving and the experience is so rewarding! Since dogs help me to feel good, it's the least I can do to make them feel good and give back. When I was going to school in Boston I also worked as a dog walker for Wag! now and then, and found that I really enjoyed walking dogs as well. I would be a great house sitter, and walker partly because I enjoy spending time with dogs, but also because I know how important it is that animals are cared for and loved. I'm currently working remote and part time, so I have a very flexible schedule to fit in plenty of pet care time and fun! I am able to live and work in different locations for any amount of time. N/A - I can't currently offer pet care at my home, but I am happy to come to you and spend time with your pets wherever their home is.

About: I grow up with dogs of every kind. Their are the best family members. My family always relied on me to take care of them. I work four days a week in the office, and one at home. I am available every weekend, and holidays to take care of your love one. I live in a two bedroom apartment and I have one very friendly dog. He loves having friends to play and share his toys. We always go for walks to the park around the block.

About: I have been a dog lover, my whole life. My daughter, Maggie is actually named after my first dog! We have a three year-old great Dane mix that loves having friends over! If your dog would not love that we also have an outdoor kennel we offer in our home, one on one dog sitting and outdoor kennel stays in the front pasture. Our five horses are on site. We are five minutes from Gardiner at the north entrance to Yellowstone. The next closest kennel is 40 minutes north of us one way. Our property houses for vacation cabin rentals- LittleTrailCreekCabins. I am on site pretty much every day. I may be doing yard work or cleaning one of our vacation rentals. I occasionally will drive to Gardiner or Livingston. We have the outdoor kennel in the front pasture. It has a partial roof and fenced in area. We also have dog treats inside the garage or if your pop would like they are welcome to hang out with me and my dog for the day which could include doing yardwork, going for a walk, going for a ride in the car, or at one of our vacation cabins. I am a retired nurse of 25 years.
