Pet Sitting in Stevensville

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, having grown up with them since the age of five. Caring for dogs has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely love giving them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away, knowing their pets would be safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in being attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m now excited to turn this lifelong passion into something fulfilling and rewarding by offering reliable dog-sitting services. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace—and I always strive to create a calm, loving environment. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, secure, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog will return to you just as happy as you make them. I work from home so will have plenty of time to play and give attention to your fur babies. I will make lots of time for playtime, walks and love. I have a fenced in yard or I can keep them crated if you need/want. Just depends on your preference. If you want me to dog sit at your house, I will follow whatever routine you already have with your dogs so they don’t even realize you are gone or mess their routine up too much.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong experience with animals and caregiving. I’ve raised pets from a very young age, including rearing and responsibly placing three litters of purebred Springer Spaniel puppies. As a teacher and children’s librarian, I’m patient, attentive, and highly tuned to individual needs. I understand routines, emotional comfort, and the level of love, structure, and care pets deserve to feel safe and happy. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I work four days a week and commute between Stevensville and Hamilton, which makes scheduling drop-ins, walks, and check-ins convenient and easy. I intentionally plan my days to allow time for attentive, unrushed pet care, ensuring each visit is calm, reliable, and focused on your pet’s individual needs. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and rest. I take time to build trust, offer plenty of affection, and watch closely for any changes in behavior or health. I respect your home, communicate clearly with updates, and ensure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Melodi did a great job taking care of my kitties! It was nice getting updates and photos while away. Melodi was also very understanding when I had a last-minute schedule change so I really appreciated her flexibility. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and Melodi made it a great experience!”

About: I LOVE DOGS! I have been training dogs in some capacity since I was 8 years old and pet/farm sitting for many years. As a licensed veterinary technician since 2011, I have plenty of experience not only caring for your pet but what to do if an emergency were to occur. I worked in an ER clinic for 10 years specifically and am well versed in how to deal with minor to major injuries or illnesses if that were to occur while you were away. We try to keep your pet's schedule the same as yours best we can. With Heidi currently working from home this is much more easily facilitated. Our home has a fenced yard for our own pups, dog friendly environment and no furniture off limits household. We do have one cat but she is good at reading dog energy in a room.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was a young kid. I have experience with newly born puppies, old dogs, and everything in between. I have fostered dogs for a few weeks at a time and love learning each animals personality! I’m currently working part time so I have a pretty open schedule! I am available on weekends and weekdays for plenty of play time with your animals! I used to clean houses for a living so I am no stranger to finding my way around a home and being around other people’s dogs! I am sure to follow strict instructions and keep your pet safe as if it were my own.

About: Hey there, Taking care of our animal friends has been a passion of mine from a young age. It felt almost too good to be true the first time someone paid me to do so over 8 years ago. My experience ranges from simple care of birds & lizards all the way to taking care of horses, cows, chickens, pigs & goats on a farm. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality & giving them the unique care they need. I work part time in residential cleaning so my schedule is very flexible. This position allows me to be available to care for your pets & property with consistency! Overnight care is the most feasible for me & in my experience, it's best for the pet as they are able to be comfortable in their environment. I’m not able to host animals friends in my home, unfortunately.

“Leah has been an absolute godsend for our Loki! We’ve had her stay at our home while on vacation as well as having her drop in to provide him with much needed stimulation and exercise. He is always worn out and happy! He loves her! I recommend Leah 100%!!”

I’m currently working full time but would love to do stuff after and before work or dog sit overnight! I’ll make any schedule work for the animals. I’ll check for fenced yard, always make sure trash will be sealed or where the animal can’t get to it and make sure all the doors are shut and locked!

About: I've been fortunate to always have pets in my life, and I currently have a 6 year old black cat named Salem. I've done dog sitting for friends and family in the past, and I've never met a doggo I didn't like. I work remotely as an engineer for a Montana-based company, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for drop in visits and overnight stays. I occasionally have to travel for work, but typically have at least a few weeks notice. Unfortunately unable to care for pets in my own home at this time, but I'm happy to stay overnight in yours if needed. Otherwise, happy to drop in during the day for visits, walks, etc.

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’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 large breed dogs. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and many different temperaments, as well as working with reactive dogs on leash. I worked for a short while in the boarding portion of a vet clinic and have experience with overnight care of dogs and cats who needed very specific care such as specific foods and medications. I currently work part time, mostly remote and have flexible hours so I can fit home visits and dog walks pretty easily into my day. I live in Hamilton, so the closer you are to Hamilton the more likely it would be that I could help with short notice. I have a car and am happy to drive your pup to the park. I am usually unavailable on weekends but could most likely make something work Monday through Friday! I cannot have dogs at my house but I am available to come to your house for visits during the day (I need to be home with my own pups overnight) and could spend a few hours there working remotely if they need a little more time together. I would love to get them out for a walk or even short hike as well!

“Grace is absolutely wonderful! 10/10 recommend. Excellent communication, the animals loved her so much, and knew I could trust her from the moment we met!”

About: I was born and raised in the bitterroot valley and have never left! I have house and pet sat since I was 12 and have always loved it. I’ve cared for pets as well as livestock such as chickens, goats, and even horses and a donkey! Aside for animals, I have cared for house plants and gardens. I am happy to clean your house and make it my priority to leave everything better than I found it! I can stay overnight night or perform simple daily checkups. And if all you need is someone to walk the dog (or dogs!) I’d love to take them for a stroll to the park or along a quiet river path! I have always grown up around animals and know that they have needs besides my own. That stated I always have time for morning and evening feedings or walks, and I am also happy to make time in the afternoon if required! At home I start my day making sure the pets and livestock are fed, watered, and comfortable even before myself! Whenever I can I check up on them to make sure all is well. If a fence is broken or a gate ajar I won’t hesitate to fix it!

About: I’ve always loved pets and animals and after moving to Missoula am missing the two dogs I had with my younger sister so I’m looking for pets to connect with and care for while I don’t have any of my own. I work for Competitive Timing, a company that runs electronic timing for races and other running events. Because of that, I’m often gone traveling on weekends but during the weekdays I’m free to do whatever it is your pets would need and keep up their normal routine. I try to make the transition as seamless as possible caring for your pets in your home, on their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

“First time using Rover! Alexandra was very responsive and easy to work with. She did a great job with reporting the drop-in visits and our dog was well and happy to see us upon our return!”
