Dog Walking In University District

“Daisy loved her trip out with Laurie, she loved how responsive Laurie was to her needs (letting her stop and sniff the roses.) I loved how thorough she was in wanting to get to know Daisy before heading out and how comfortable I feel booking her again.”

“Molly is the the best sort of human - communicative, responsible and kind. Winston can be fearful and anxious, and Molly’s patience with him is endless. We feel so relieved she makes room in her busy life to tend to him in our absence. Thank you, Molly!”

About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets throughout my early teens up to the present. I have taken care of mostly dogs and cats but have cared for lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I have trained my two dogs commands like sit, down, shake and wait. As a sitter/walker I will love spending time with your pets, as I miss my family‘s pets that are in my home town! I am a full time pharmacy student at the University of Montana so my falls and springs are pretty busy with class. However I will always make time to spend time with the pet(s) when I can. I will always try and make time for a daily walk if taking care of dogs and spend time playing with cats. Back at home I have two dogs and a cat. So I know that trash should be securely placed and poop should be picked up regularly in the yard and in public areas. I love my pets at home and show them lots of affection and love and I hope the people watching would do this too.

“Bella and Erik are super nice and helpful, and my dog Oliver took to them immediately. I'm so grateful to have found such lovely people to take care of my pooch at our new home.”

“Happy dog!”

About: College student wanting to care for your pets! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 9 years old and love them all. I’ll cater to your needs. I will be a college student and am looking to dog walk or visit between classes during the week. I will work with you on time and duration. For house pet-sitting I’m flexible to when I am free so reach out and ask about my availability! I respect the home I care for the dogs in and respect the rules set for their pets. I’m attentive to the dogs needs during my stay and make them top priority.

About: I love spending time with dogs, teaching them new tricks and getting familiar with their personality. Also, my family has adopted up to a total of twelve dogs my whole life, so I can confidently say that I'm qualified for this position. Dogs need attention and my attention is focused on making all dogs happy, as they do for us. Ever since I left my parents house, I started to realize the effect that my parents dogs had on me. Dogs have always been a big part of who I am and I can fully relate with dog owners who consider their dogs as another family member. :) This is my attempt at recreating the connection that has dissipated ever since I left home. Woof!

“This was our first time using Rover for our pet and Matthew was a great choice! He was super communicative, timely and send us photos of our pup while we were away.”

About: I've been petsitting for almost a decade! I've worked with all kinds of pets & personalities, and have experience giving oral medication! I'm also pet CPR certified! I'm a current full-time student at the University of Montana! Despite this, I'm available most mornings & evenings, with breaks between classes to give your critters some love. I'm also free most weekends & can give extra attention then! I make sure to leave things as I found them! I will clean up any messes from your pet while I'm there, and make sure the house is kept clean & safe for your pets.

About: I grew up from the age of 8 with cats and dogs. I know that every critter has its own personality and should be treated as such. I have experience walking medium-sized dogs (german shepherds and retrievers) have watched cats too. I have my own cat, and empathize with the heartache that can come with leaving your pet at home. I am a responsible, trustworthy person who would love to check in or walk your pet(s) while you are away. I have passed both state and federal background checks and am employed as a researcher through the federal government. I love having my cat, Fischer, by my side as I work from home and am happy that he's been able to travel and adapt with me over the past 10 years of us being family! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have about my qualifications or experience. I work from home, so I am most happy doing check-ins or walks during the day! I try to save my weekends for my own outside time, but if I am in town I will happily care for your animal. I will be sure to treat your house as a would my own: keeping it clean and safe. I will always lock your doors, refresh water bowls as needed, or feed/medicate if necessary. Your pet will be my priority when I am caring for it.

“Lucas was great with our pup! He was available last minute and very helpful. He came for a meet and greet, which calmed our nerves about using someone new, and he was on time, shared details, and extended his time to make sure our dog was happy and taken care of. We recommend his services!”

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!

“Betsy was great. Very communicative re timing and with visual updates. I would definitely send my pooch hiking with her again.”

“I’m needed a walker at a short notice and Ryan came to the rescue! She really helped me with the big doggies. Ryan responded very quickly so I wasn’t stressing to get the big boys out before it gets too hot. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’m a younger retiree with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and cats. For the past three years, I’ve volunteered at my local Humane Society, focusing on enrichment for kittens, cats, and puppies. That means I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities — from shy rescues to bouncy puppies. Because I’m retired, I have the time and flexibility to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit for playtime, feeding, litter duty, or a walk and cuddle session, I’ll make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets — I’ll always provide updates, photos, and lots of love. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family!” I’m currently available Monday through Thursday during the daytime. That means I can help with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship while you’re at work or away for the day. I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs. My two friendly dogs, Belle and Cooper, love having canine company and are great at making new friends. Visiting dogs will enjoy a safe, social, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervised playtime and love.”

About: I have been working at a dog kennel for the past 2 years now, and I absolutely love it! My responsibilities include walking dogs, feeding, cleaning, and administering medication. I feel very comfortable around all kinds of dogs, and I know how to properly work with dogs with different personalities and needs. I work at the dog kennel 3-4 days a week but I am available in the morning, evenings, and overnight if needed. On the days I do not work I am available all day to walk and socialize with pets. I have a trip planned in August, so July and September are more open for me. In my home I have two dogs who are friendly and love company, we also have a big yard and lots of cozy dog beds. I am also available to stay at the pets home since that is usually more comfortable for them. I have house sat many times and dogs are often happier when they are in a familiar space. When I house sit I make sure to maintain a clean and safe environment within the home for the family and for the pets.

“Aliana is great! Asked all the right questions and was super comfortable with my pup. Would recommend!”

About: I grew up on a small organic farm outside of bozeman, we had a lots of animals growing up and we always had rescue dogs as well. I grew up taking care of cats and bunnies and dogs basically my whole life, I also dog sit consistently for a client in summers. I’m currently a full time student at U of M and my class times are random throughout the day so my schedule works perfectly for pet sitting, dog walking and drop ins anytime. I follow the routine I’m given by the owner and I like to be active so I’ll usually play or take the dog on a walks/hikes if the dog is up for it, otherwise I’ll just stick to the given feeding/exercise schedule and take care of the house and dog or cat like normal and leave everything as I found it.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens and rabbits. I love taking going on walks and hikes. In high school I trained my dog in agility and showmanship. I will not only take extra good care of your pet, I will love it like it’s my own. I will pay attention to any allergies or fears the pet might have. I will be detailed in my care and make sure the pet is happy and give them lots of love. I would love to be your temporary pet mom. I am available during the weekends and have mornings and evenings free during the week. I am usually working from 10 am to 5 pm Monday-Thursday but have a break around 1 pm. I have a fenced yard and a house. I live near a lot of hiking trails and a park. I love spending time outside and can provide pet care at my house or yours!
