“Megan and Vitaliy are true dog lovers. They take care of my two boys as if they were their own. When my puppy wouldn’t eat, Megan hand fed him to ensure he ate for the day. I love that they can run around outside in their huge fenced in yard…. And because their dogs, Clover and Cooper are also small like my boys, they are supervised outside at all times due to the hawks in the area. My boys come home tired from playing and having so much fun. I would recommend Megan and Vitaliy to anyone for the care they provide.”
“New favorite sitter! Our boxer can be very anxious, especially her first few times somewhere. Arfel took such wonderful care of her and shared lots of pictures and updates. Ive never felt more comfortable leaving my dog somewhere before. We did a meet and greet before to ensure the dogs all got along. They have a huge fenced in back yard and deck. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have cared for several dogs over the years. I currently have two small dogs of my own, a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese, and they are both very friendly and comfortable around other dogs. My Yorkie is 8 years old, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need. I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I truly enjoy having dogs around and will treat your dog like part of the family while they stay with us 🐶 I will be home with the dogs throughout the day, so they get plenty of attention and regular potty breaks. We already have our own dogs, so caring for dogs is a natural part of our daily routine. I’m available for both daytime daycare and overnight boarding. Our home is in a quiet area with plenty of space between neighbors, which makes it a peaceful place for dogs to relax and feel at home. We keep our home clean, quiet, and comfortable for our dogs and visiting pups. The house is regularly cleaned and disinfected, and we do an extra cleaning before every new stay. Potty pads are changed frequently, and we use air purifiers indoors to help keep the space fresh and odor-free. Our own dogs also receive regular flea and tick prevention. Most importantly, someone is home throughout the day to keep an eye on the dogs and make sure they are safe and comfortable.
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
About: My hands-on pet care experience comes from being a dedicated dog mom to three wonderful dogs. I currently care for a 13-year-old Shih Tzu, Dash and a 4-year-old Goldendoodle, Bubba giving me experience with both senior dogs and younger, energetic breeds. We recently lost our 14 year old Maltese, Ice T to heart failure, he fought hard and strong for 3 years. Caring for my senior dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and recognizing the unique needs that come with aging pets, including maintaining routines, administering medications when needed, and providing extra comfort and attention. At the same time, my Goldendoodle keeps me active with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and compassion that I give my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, from senior dogs to active younger dogs. On weekdays, I'm typically available in the mornings, during lunch, and throughout the evening. Weekends are generally open, allowing me to provide additional playtime, exercise, and one-on-one attention. I only take one pet at a time so I can ensure each dog receives personalized care, supervision, and lots of love while their family is away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs and active breeds. My home features a fully fenced yard, providing a safe space for supervised outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods and receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship throughout the day. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for during their stay.

For sporty dogs, we take two twenty minute walks a day and one long hike in the woods (1-2 hrs) in addition to regular potty breaks outside. For the couch potatoes, I offer lots of quiet places to lounge and toys and enrichment like puzzles. Your dog can have total privacy if needed, but it’s better for everyone if they get along with other dogs. My home is like camp for dogs! I am with your dog all day, and will not leave them for more than 1.5 hours to run a simple errand. If you’re looking for reliable, concierge-level pet care, I’d love to connect.

“Franklin had a great time at Richard’s house! Franklin is an older dog, very sweet, affectionate, and alert but low-energy, so a home setting was perfect for his disposition and needs. I’ll definitely be taking Franklin to Richard’s home again!”
“Casie and her family were amazing!! Since this was my first time leaving my dog boomer with a sitter I was a little bit nervous but she immediately calmed my nerves the second I dropped him off by showing me around and asking so many questions to give him the best experience. Casie sent many updates throughout the day (pictures and videos) so that I could see that boomer was having a fun time. DEFINITELY would recommend and I will be booking again!!”
“Ollie had a great time at Hannah's! She has a large fenced in yard with a tall fence. Lots of room for the dogs to run! Her pup was super sweet and welcoming of my crazy boy. My dog has been fast asleep ever since I brought him home so I know he had lots of fun during his stay. Hannah was easy to communicate with.”

About: I grew up in the home of biologist who kept all sorts of pets. I have experienced caring for a variety of animals, however have the most familiarity with care for canines. I spent a few years fostering dogs with different issues such as separation anxiety and aggression. I raised and trained a Belgian Malinois from 16 weeks to 1 year, giving me experience with intelligent and high energy dogs. I woke full-time from home and therefore am available to be with the pets all day. I am currently a full-time stay at home mom who works remotely about 10 hours a week. MY schedule is open and flexible to accommodate pets. I currently have a 2 year old son who enjoys animals. I am mindful of safety practice for children and pets to keep both safe. I do not have a fenced in yard and will use a leash to leave the house at all times. Depending on your pet's behavior I can crate them and keep them separated in another part of the house.
“Matthew was great. He took wonderful care of Sophie and I believe she wanted to stay. He took Soohienon multiple walks and treats her as his own. He even accepted the opportunity to watch Sophie in short notice! Matthew if we were staying in the area, you’d be our new best friend! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Sophie!”
“Drew was super friendly and sent us lots of updates through the day, including photos, of our puppy. We felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in very capable hands. I’m sure he enjoyed the dog park and his 2 mile hike with Drew. We look forward to working with Drew in the future!”
“Danielle was so amazing! I was in Great Falls for 9 days for a training and needed to find someone who I trusted with my beloved pup. From our first Zoom meeting I knew Danielle and I were both fellow animal lovers. From my questions, I could tell that she had a lot of experience with dogs and knew how to handle potential problem situations. Danielle also asked me all the right questions to set my heart at ease. I didn't have to worry about my dog at all when I dropped her off in the morning for day care. I was able to enjoy my training, knowing she was with the best person possible. Danielle went above and beyond in helping my out and I deeply appreciate her and the care and attention she gave us both. I highly recommend Danielle!”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
