Cat Sitting in Trestle Creek

“Abby dropped in to my home twice a week in September to take care of my black lab pup while I was at work. She brought her pup Julia too. The pictures she’d send of them playing was priceless and showed a great time had by all!”

About: I am a stay at home mom of two awesome kiddos, one handsome border collie(Steve) and a large orange furry feline(Samson). We also have a couple of rowdy goats and a flock of beloved chickens. We are blessed to live on a heavenly bit of land (40 acres) with woods, ponds and creeks. It truly is a bit of paradise. We love animals here and thought, "Why not share our blessings with the critters of our community?" If you need care for pet so they are not alone all day and dont want them caged in kennel all day please give us a call! We have a fenced yard if your should need it and plenty of space for them to safely explore. I am available all day to help with the difficult potty training of some of our tiniest fur babies:) I look forward to meeting you!

About: I have 2 years of dog walking experience while attending college! I am patient and willing to go for longer walks as well. I love getting outside and what better way to do it than walking a dog! I am a nanny and I usually have a couple days off per week. Dog walking fits into my weekly schedule and is a great way to stay active! I am very active and I will be able to walk your dog for how ever long is needed. I am also patient and I am able to walk dogs that prefer to take breaks or wander while walking.

About: I am an experience dog and cat person as small animals. My personal dogs come from a wide array of backgrounds so I understand how important it is to have your animals treated like family. I have dog friendly cats and dogs, who are very spoiled. I can accommodate all ages, sizes, and levels of training. I love adventure, hiking, dog parks or a walk around the neighborhood. I'm happy to accommodate any routine your pup has. I have experience with caged animals, cats, dogs and live stock. Medication experience, separation anxiety, potty training, minor obedience training, bathing and more. I am happy to accommodate kennels or extra paws in the bed. I am working full time but happy to accommodate any schedules to fit mine and yours. Evenings, weekends and holidays are open, your pets can join into our family fun. I do not have a fenced yard but I am able to accommodate long walks, hikes and supervised fun. We can mix in nap times and quality exercise

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as memory serves. My family always had at least one dog and a cat or two. Since we lived out in the country, we always managed to take in strays (and by strays I mean the ones I usually brought home). I volunteered at a local shelter in high school where I got more experience with elderly dogs. Since then, I’ve continued to pet sit for friends and family. As an animal lover living in one of the many non pet-friendly apartments in Bozeman, this is how I get my fix. I currently work for myself and make my own work schedule so I try to stay flexible. I am usually available to drop in and check in them or if I’m pet sitting in their own home, will make it a priority to be there most of the time. Caring for your babies in their own home environment is super important. I can make myself available to be around as much as I’m needed while you are away. I like to take detailed notes of how you prefer to care for your pets and stick to their schedule as much as possible.

“Shayla is so sweet and did a great job taking care of our cats. She helped us out super last minute and was on time and very responsible. We will definitely have her back to pet sit for us again!”

About: Hello, my name is Maya and I would be happy to help you with any pet needs you may have. I’ve pet sat in a wide range of settings as well as looked after many different breeds. I enjoy spending time with animals and being out in nature and I consider this arrangement to be less work and more fun. That being said, I understand the responsibility it takes to look after someone else’s pet and take great care in keeping you pets safe and happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I’m a self employed creative and have a very flexible schedule. I do work many side jobs so it is best to let me know a couple days to a week ahead of time. I cannot provide home services at this time unfortunately. My landlord won’t permit pets at my place. I would happily dog or cat sit at your home.

About: I have always had pets ever since I was a baby. I have volunteered at shelters and taken care of friends/family pets. I also volunteered at my moms grooming job for 2 years Currently laid off so I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! I have nothing but free time these days and dogs sitting sounds more appealing than a work from home job! My yard is not fenced but I am rural with lots of property if your pet is curious I have no issues with leashes and such Stay at home mama looking to make some extra cash and offer reliable service for other pet lovers! No dog or cat too big or too small. I have 4 cats that are indoor outdoor with their own catio I built myself. Although I love dogs, our current pets are all cats and came from a home with untrained dogs so needless to say, I get my dog itch scratched from other people's dogs lol.

“I can’t say enough good things about Lucille! She communicated consistently and kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put me at ease. Even when my sassy kitty decided to give her a little love bite, she handled it with such professionalism and understanding. It’s clear she truly cares about animals and their unique personalities. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Absolutely awesome experience. My boyfriend was having surgery and we needed someone to check in on our girl. Eleandra was wonderful and eased a lot of our worry. It was already a stressful time, but hiring her was a big help. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been surrounded by and have taken care of all sorts of animals for as long as I can remember, and ever since my 16th birthday, when I got Sammy, my great white Pyrenees puppy, my love for caring for sweet fur babies has grown. I grew up on a farm and am one of the oldest siblings of a large family, so I learned to be very responsible from a young age. From childhood to my college years and beyond, I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, goats, and chickens. I am the trusted go to sitter for my friends and family and have taken care of animals with a variety of needs, such as rescue dogs and animals who need medication and/or special diets. I have loved every animal I’ve had the privilege to care for and look forward to meeting your sweet furry (or not furry) friends! I’m a mom to my sweet, one year old boy Ollie, so as long as it doesn’t interfere with his nap or bedtime schedule, I’m available! I have great attention to detail skills and will make note of all pet-care instructions given. I have lots of experience with walking dogs on the street and know to stick to the left side of the road and keep the leash short around cars and other animals. I will also send photos and updates with each visit. Your pets happiness, health and safety are my top priority!

“Hallie is a gem! For nearly two weeks, she cared for our elderly cat who is uncomfortable with change and is a persnickety eater. Hallie had a calm and intuitive understanding of Smudge’s needs and adjusted accordingly ... and kept us well-informed. Hallie sat with her daily and talked with her and played her favorite Alexa cat music :) Hallie provided excellent care; I would absolutely recommend her.”

About: All my life I have had a pets in my home, I grew up with my mother working as a veterinarian so we had everything ranging from dogs, cats, reptiles and birds, therefore, I am not shy or timid around any animal and I know what I’m doing. I am new to the area but I have pet sat multiple times for other families in the past weather that be staying at their house or just stopping by every now and then and even just dog walking, I’m experienced with it all! I am willing to go above and beyond for your pet and can work with any of their or your needs. I’ve just moved to the area to live with my boyfriend. We leave in mid January for 6 weeks on a trip but until then I am fully available to help in any way needed especially through the holidays! I would say my best asset is my experience dealing with senior pets. In the past 5 years I’ve dealt with 3 senior pets and given them the extra care and attention needed to help them stay comfortable and happy in their old age.

About: I have raised and cared for countless pets and am without a pet for the first time since I can ever remember. I am self-employed so very flexible. Contact me for the TLC your fur baby is accustomed to. I prefer to care for pets in their home environment and will be a responsible trustworthy aide. If necessary, I have the perfect setup for indoor/outdoor flexibility in my downtown Sandpoint home with a fenced-in yard and a doggie door. Excellent references upon request. Pets are much more comfortable and less stressed in their own home but I will consider smaller, low-impact pets in my home on a short-term basis. I have a small house with a large yard and 4' high fence. There's a doggie door for small and mid sized pets for potty break convenience.

About: I've always been the to go-to animal sitter for my friends & family, they know how much I adore & love animals. I will always love and care for them as if they are my own. I have an open schedule to be able to care for your fur babies. I own my own cleaning/organizing business as well if you are interested. I will care for your fur babies in your home just as you would with all the love and comfort in the world for them.

About: Being raised on a ranch, I know the responsibility and love that our animals take! I’m here to give them the care they deserve and need. I’m a dog bather and currently in school to become a certified dog groomer. Animals are my passion, and they deserve love and care & I am here to provide that to your pets! I have a fenced yard, but prefer to come to your home! We can always discuss more in detail! I’m happy to accommodate if needed.

About: * My farm sitting rate is $60/night Hi! My name is Joy. My Life's passion is caring for animals, I am happiest to just be with them! I have 11 years experience of pet care, working on a farm with a variety of animals; dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, jersey cows,Angus cattle,horses,sheep, goats,pigs,pot belly pigs,chickens,chicks,ducks, rabbits, bunnies,Emu,zebras...You name it, I've probably taken care of it! I've had my pet sitting side gig for 3-4 years now. I am 30, I have yet to meet someone who doesn't call me sweet, and I think old people are the cutest thing ever, aside from puppies & kittens, of coarse. My desire someday is to work in a wildlife rescue, zoo, or/and own my own property to create a hobby farm/mixed animal boarding facility with fenced acreage for dogs and other animals to run around on and play. Thank you for considering me to watch your fur babies! Have a furbulous day ;) I am currently in between jobs, so but will be going to a regular 9-5. Other than my work schedule, your pets will get thevrest of my time. I will make sure to spend enough time in the mornings caring for your pets, taking them out, spending time with them, going for a walk or playing or cuddling before I have to go. I will come home right after work, let dogs out, and make sure to feed the animals and let them out one more time before bed! I am very flexible to spend most if not all my available time with your pets. I'll play with them either in their yard or in the house. I like to give them treats. I usually will give the dogs a bath and brushing at the end of the sit, depending if they are comfortable enough with me or not.

About: HIGHLIGHTS: • All breeds welcome. • Private boarding - I host only one dog family at a time, apart from Wednesday when I offer daycare services. • 24/7 companionship. Never left alone & by my side all day. • Fenced-in yard time once every hour. • No kids or visitors in the house during the stay. • My house is located on a private dirt road and the driveway is a quarter of a mile long. • Secure fenced-in yard, the rest of the property includes 12 acres of woods and trails directly behind the house, 3 acres of lake, and an additional 5 acres of land across the lake. • Available 24/7 for drop off/pickup, even late night or early morning hours. For over 15 years, I have dedicated myself to the care of dogs, ranging from puppies to seniors. Throughout this time, I have not only provided care but also rescued numerous dogs and other animals. My experience has equipped me with a good deal of knowledge in animal care and health, enabling me to handle various challenges such as medical issues, anxiety, behavioral/aggressive tendencies, training, and more. I understand that each dog is unique, with their own distinct personality and specific needs. However, I have honed my skills in providing specialized care and readily welcome pet parents who may be concerned about boarding their pups due to certain behaviors. Caring for dogs is not always a walk in the park, but I approach it with unwavering love, passion, and commitment. I have dedicated countless days and nights to tending to dogs with diverse challenges and rescuing surrendered/abused animals, providing round-the-clock care. Providing such dedicated care requires substantial effort, but the joy it brings me is immeasurable. I am willing to do everything necessary to ensure that your dog receives the treatment it deserves and is accustomed to. Why choose me? I take animal care seriously and, as it is my full-time commitment your beloved pooches will be under full supervision while under my roof and be given the best care possible. I differentiate myself drastically from other pet caregivers on Rover, Number One because animal care is my full-time profession. I have dedicated my entire life to caring for animals. Moreover, I have one of the largest, safest, and most enjoyable properties for your canines to vacation. Separating from a pet owner can be a stressful experience for pets and their owners. Your pups are warmly welcomed into my home, and I will take care of them exactly per your wishes. About me I am originally from Roanoke, Virginia. My husband Paul and I moved to South Lyon, Michigan from Charlotte, North Carolina. After settling down in Michigan and acquiring our property, I was able to start my career in animal rescue and care. I consider myself a responsible, trustworthy, and forward-thinking individual who takes great pride in what I do, that is, taking care of animals. I am incredibly flexible with my schedule. My day typically starts at 6 AM, and I am available for drop-offs and pick-ups around the clock - 24/7. I understand that there may be instances where you require assistance during late hours, and I am fully committed to being flexible in such situations. Flexibility is of utmost importance to me, as I strive to provide a level of service that surpasses other pet sitters who may have other full-time obligations. Ensuring home security: • My household consists of my husband and I, no kids, and 50 chickens. • I have established connections with four veterinarians in the area who are located very close to my place. Two of them offer urgent care services for pets 24/7. • Our home is equipped with a surveillance system, providing security for your peace of mind. All areas are under surveillance and we do not allow hunting. • For pet owners concerned about their escape artist attempts, I have taken extra precautions. Whenever I leave the house to do errands around the property, your dog will be safely secured behind another door in the main cabin. • I never allow any dog under my care to roam freely on my property, even if I am told that they will not run off. There is always a chance that an animal may react unexpectedly when confronted by wildlife. • Our home is situated far away from the road, and we have no visitors or unknown individuals during your dogs stay. • To ensure the safety of our visitors, we conduct regular tests to maintain safe lake water conditions. Additionally, we take care to prevent the growth of algae. • If your dog enjoys catching fish or swimming, they will have a great time. I have caught up to 15lb bass and Sebastian frequently catches as well… • I have 50 chickens; I understand some may be worried about their dogs’ interaction with the chickens. There will be no interaction with the chickens. My chickens stay far away and enjoy free roaming so most of the time they are out of sight on other parts of the property.

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 13, from farm animals to dogs and cats. Many neighbors, family friends and colleagues have trusted me to do quick visits, daytime walks, nightly check ins and even monthly stays. I have experience that varies from training the young ones, to giving the elders lots of love, attention and even medications when needed. I am also very willing to do baths if/when needed! I currently have a part-time job that starts at 6 and ends at 12 Monday and Tuesday, so I would have plenty of time to do any afternoon visits and even weekly stays. I am very flexible and can work around the perfect schedule with you! I am very accommodating when it comes to your fur babies needs. If I’m staying in your home, I will take all animals outside every 2-3 hours to play or go on walks. If stated in instructions, I can also take dogs to a dog park or on car rides when I go to the store. If there is a certain route for walks to take, I will also do that. Anything you’d like, I can do!
