Cat Sitting in Trident

“Jewelia was great! She was reliable, communicative, and my dogs loved her from the second she walked inside. She saved me last minute when our dog boarding cancelled due to kennel cough and gave me peace of mind. Best part was she lives so close to us! Would definitely recommend and would use here again!”

About: Family has had a variety of pets since I was a kid and we used to live on a farm - fish, dogs, cats, goats, horses, pigs, chickens. My dog passed a few years back now and current housing situation doesn’t allow pets so I love to love on other people pets whenever I get the chance. I have some experience in ailing dog care; my old dog, Kane, passed away from cancer. At the end he needed help getting outside to the bathroom, eating and kept a close eye on for discomfort. I am a small business owner with a pretty flexible schedule. I also live close to downtown so it’s convenient for me to get almost anywhere within Bozeman city limits. If caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow the laid out normal routine for your pet giving extra love and affection as I know it can be distressing for pets when their family leaves.

“Sarah was so patient with my nervous girl Scooter! I was so nervous about leaving her for the first time but Sarah eased my mind with her detailed updates and photos. I knew my animals were in the right hands! She will definitely be my go to for pet sitting :)”

“Emily is incredible. This was the first time I had left my pets with anyone and it was Emily that I trusted to care for them. She took time to meet me and them in advance to make sure we were all comfortable with her. My pups instantly loved her. She is kind, thoughtful and professional. She cared for my girls as if they were her own and kept me posted on their activities and well being. I will definitely ask for help in the future without hesitation.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have experience in dogs, cats, birds, and even game animals such as cows, goats, and chickens! I currently work at night and substitute teach sometimes, so I am pretty available during the day. I only work for about 4-5 hours at night, so it should not be a problem caring for pets. I am very comfortable with younger pets and have no problem taking care of them or crate training them if needed. I also love to play and go on walks, so they will get outside plenty!

“Alexa was fabulous! She took great care of my 5 pets, including sending me detailed updates and pictures each day. She was a great communicator and was attentive to each animal’s needs. I wild absolutely hire Alexa again!”

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and horses, I have experience training multiple puppies and horses. Our puppies were Dobermans and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so I am very comfortable with large dogs! My rehomed-to-me dog is a border collie blue heeler mix who had a lot of anxiety before I showed him how safe and precious he is. My husband and I have a year old golden Aussie puppy we got fall 2024. I have also dog sat since I was a teenager, consistently watching a young pit bull and boxer and elderly dachshund and Bernese. My daily routine with my dogs includes a long daily walk, trips to the dog park, playing with toys, picking out treats at the pet store, and snuggling. If given the chance, I will give your pup the same amount of attention! Since I live in an apartment, I unfortunately cannot have additional pets in my home. However, I am more than willing to come to your home to care for your dog! I do work a full-time job, but I am available to walk, feed, and hang out with your pets before and after work.

About: I have not lived a single year without a dog. I have had all different kinds of pets and think Rover is an awesome way to keep them active and loved!! I am able to pull heavy dogs and have had experience with dogs of all ends of the discipline spectrum. I am almost 24 and recently moved to Bozeman from Virginia. I have a 9 month old German Shepard and have had my own personal dogs for the last 4 years. I work remotely and am extremely flexible with schedule. I've trained multiple puppies and taken classes on this as well. I am currently working FULL-TIME REMOTE! So i have all the time necessary to take care of your animals when needed and spend extra time with them. I have an energetic puppy myself who loves other animals. We are outdoors constantly and I am well seasoned in ensuring the safety of your animal. I have great experience leash training as well, and am more than willing to incorporate this if the client would like!

About: My mom used to breed dogs and I was always involved with the dogs and puppies! Plus I’ve love and have been around animals ever since I was a baby! I currently have a pretty open schedule! I am an early bird and enjoy keeping busy during the day. I enjoy having weekends to myself but am more then happy to make exception every once in a while! I will follow a list of what is asked for a client. Feeding, clean up, pick up anything a dog could eat that they aren’t supposed to, walks, play time, etc. I enjoy taking my dog on hikes, to the river (he’s a sucker for the water), he loves ball and rope toys, he enjoys showing off his tricks also! We are currently working with harness training for my cat so she can come on adventures too safely and supervised!

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. Right now, I share my days with two lovable Labrador retrievers—Aspen, my energetic and sweet, chocolate girl, and Gunner, my laid back red fox boy. Over the years, I’ve gained experience not just with daily walks, play, and training, but also with more specialized care like giving medications, tending to special needs, and supporting dogs through health challenges. My heart dog, Tank, sadly passed in 2024 from a cancerous brain tumor, and that experience taught me how important compassion, patience, and gentle care are when a dog needs extra love. Whether your pup is a playful ball chaser or needs calm, attentive support, I’m dedicated to making sure every dog I watch feels safe, happy, and cared for like family. As a stay-at-home mom to a 2½-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son, I spend my days at home surrounded by my own pets, which means I always have time to give them the love and attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine—whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just being present to make them feel secure—so I’d love to use my extra time to help other pet parents, too. I’m available any day of the week and can make multiple visits a day if needed, whether that’s to provide extra potty breaks, medication, or just a little more companionship while you’re away. I understand how much peace of mind it brings knowing your pets are cared for, and I’m committed to giving them the same care and attention I give my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a brand-new fenced yard that gives plenty of room to run and play, along with my two friendly, playful labs who love having company. Fresh water is always available in large, clean bowls that I wash daily, and for water-loving pups, there’s even a creek right next to the house where supervised splash time is an option. I also have plenty of toys to keep tails wagging, and I can easily crate a dog if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel secure. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and trustworthy environment where every pet feels right at home.

“Thank you for looking after her. I am glad she warmed up to you quickly. She must have been content because she didn't even meet me at the garage door as usual but hanging close now. Thank you for brushing her.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have one cat of my own (a Maine Coon/DMH mix). I have spent approximately 5 years working front desk for both veterinary day practice and veterinary urgent care. Working in urgent care trained me in many things including symptoms to look out for and gave me the knowledge to identify when an urgent medical situation has arisen. I'm very patient with shy dogs, having previously adopted one myself. I am comfortable administering oral medication, insulin injections and even ear medication for pets whoa re reasonably well-behaved with receiving them. As of the week of April 18th I'll be working a regular day job again. Eventually this will mean I work from 7 am until 5:30 or 6 pm Monday through Thursday, though it won't be full-time initially. This would leave petsitting pets alone at home for almost 12 hours. Please feel free to check in with me regarding my schedule if your pet(s) cannot be alone for so long and you'd rather not find someone to do a home visit during the day. Pet sitting usually involves me staying at your home from roughly 5-7pm until around 8-9 am. My rate includes as many bathroom breaks as your pup needs and a short walk in the morning and evening (around 10 mins). One trip back to your house during the day for an additional potty break is included. If your pet requires more potty breaks or long walks please also book those when you request pet sitting. I am available for walks or in-home visits. Walks will generally be in your neighborhood. I'm happy to pack of your well behaved pooch for a trip to a hiking trail or park as well, just please consider that transit time and book accordingly if you'd like me to do so. When staying at a client's home I make sure the pet is my priority. I want to make sure pets who are used to receiving lots of love and attention don't feel too depressed without their owners home. If that means your dog sleeps on top of me at night then more cuddles! Have a yard? Let's go out in it and play! Does your cat live for getting pets for the first hour you're awake? Want to be left alone? Need some quality laser pointer time in the evenings? Done! My goal is to give your pooch or kitty a friend to hang out with so they don't get lonely! But if they like being independent and just want someone to be alone together with them that's totally fine too!

About: I have been dog and house sitting since I was 16 years old. I have vast experience sitting for many clients and for long periods of time of up to a month at times. Very dependable and very flexible and accommodating schedule. I currently work part time so my schedule is very open and have no problem staying at the home if you wish. I can also do chores or other jobs around the house while you are gone too. I have a 4 year old mini schnoodle named Bodie who is my baby boy! I love taking him on hikes and walks and playing with his favorite toys!

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I started watching and taking care of family's, friend's and neighbor's dogs since I was about 7. I'm good with dogs of all kinds. I've lived with mostly larger dogs but I'm good with all kinds. I currently work a full-time 8–5 job with a one-hour lunch break. Within the flexibility of my schedule, I'm happy to provide your pets with the care, love, and attention they deserve. I would happily follow any set rules already established, living with dogs though means I have an understanding of how to train and care for a pet. Some things might be a little different then in your home but I would still try my best to do what's asked of me.

About: I got my first dog four years ago and I trained him by myself! I’ve taken care of friends animals when they’ve been gone. I can do all the basics; feed, bathe, and walk but am also open to whatever your needs are:) I currently work full-time overnights as a CNA at Bozeman Health. I have a lot of free time during my days to walk or play with your dog. I have a dog and two cats so if I were to watch in my home, they would have company. If I were to watch in your home, I am super respectful of others and would make sure that everything goes great.

About: Growing up I cared for pets- both cats & dogs. My first dog Tanner lived a happy and healthy life. Currently I am a dog mom to two Golden Retrievers, Merle and Patsy! I am eager to give a dose of my love & passion for pets to your furry family member My job allows for a flexible lunch schedule along with weekend and evening availability! I have 2 very active golden retrievers that love making new friends! I have a fenced in back yard and have 2 very friendly playful golden retrievers. I have plenty of room for pups to play and endless nearby park and neighborhood walking options. I am centrally located this makes it easy to do a drop in to visit your fury family members!

About: I have worked with children and animals since I was old enough to handle the responsibility. I grew up in a typical suburb in St. Louis, Missouri and always helped watch neighbors pets and children and have done it through college, post college, and presently speaking. I am extremely reliable and timely. I treat others loved ones as my own. I don’t have any allergies to pet hair or dander. I have regular clients through word of mouth and am looking to add a few to my roster. I love watching all types of animals! I currently volunteer at Heart of the Valley animal shelter in Belgrade, MT offering enrichment, walks, and sleepovers to pups that need some extra love. I also foster through Prairie Song Rescue in Wilsall, MT. I might have a foster pup at my house. I only watch well socialized, nonreactive pups. I work for myself and make my own schedule but also work a part time job at the airport. I have a lot of flexibility and love spending time with animals and being outdoors. My dogs are very friendly and love to play. I am very active. If you request house sitting I can’t be there 24/7. I enjoy hiking everyday and hope your dogs can come with me. I understand some folks want their dogs to stay at their home. I just want to share I will still need to be gone parts of the day taking care of my dogs as well as other daily life tasks and my part time job. I prefer boarding at my home overall but can accommodate house sitting. I live in downtown Belgrade with my husband. We have a large fenced in yard at .4 acres and a doggie door. We have three wonderful dogs; a mini Aussie, a golden retriever pit lab mix, and a lab pointer mix. I have a separate, personal, insurance plan for pet daycare & boarding, with expanded coverage for client pets. I am happy to share my certificate including all limits for general liability, vet care, human medical coverage, damage to property, and more. I also know how to perform CPR on pets.

“Nathan was truly amazing with our big drooly St. Bernard Ozzie. We have a somewhat challenging dog and you can immediately tell that Nathan is a REAL dog person- super affectionate with our dog (who is a big drooly hairy mess) and our dog was immediately comfortable with him, snuggled up to him immediately. Nathan seems to have great experience with handling dogs- he already knew how to use our figure 8 lead and special collar and was super comfortable handling our enormous dog in a busy neighborhood. Nathan was a great, thorough communicator and very responsible with instructions for both our house and dog- left everything in our house in perfect condition and left our dog happy and exercised! Very trustworthy, responsible, and friendly dog person- I wouldn't hesitate to book him again for any dog watching or walking.”

I would be happy to stick to any routine your pet is used to, along with any additional things you would like out of my stay.
