“Maddisyn was great with our dogs, we would (and will) book her again! We could tell she’s spent a lot of time with pets, which really made leaving our pups alone so much easier. One of our dogs is aging and needs some more care; she was very attentive to our sweet old man. Great sitter!”

“Maisie was awesome with scout! Managing a lively 1 year old lab and returning her happy and exhausted was just what we needed for scout!! And what scout needed!! And maisie is a good communicator, on time, and kind!! The best kind of dog buddy!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Brianna is such an AMAZING sitter / walker! She has been incredibly reliable, communicative and generous with my pups! She has been available to both overnight with my dogs as well as take them on walks and they have always come home happy and healthy! And they all love her dog too! She takes them on adventures and really cares for them. She is my go-to for trusted pet sitters! I highly recommend her!”

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 have owned dogs my whole life, and currently have a pug and a chiweenie! I love caring for dogs and helping families out. I can do anything a normal pet owner can do! I currently am a full time law school student and teach dance, but I am almost always home or out and about for short stints to be with your fury friend throughout their entire stay to take them out, refill their water, and play with them. I have a gated yard, a nice walking neighborhood, and I am very flexible, just ask! I will always give your babies all the same love as our own dogs! You babies will never be alone for more than 3 hours at a time. I a very flexible and can do anything just need to ask and confirm. I am organized and even though I a busy, we can plan and fit things in that work for you! I love taking my doggies on walks. I don’t care about animals being on any furniture and are allowed anywhere in the house! Your dog(s) will never be left alone more than 3 hours at a time. I am home frequently between my schedule to walk, take the dogs out, and feed them. I let your doggies play with ours and cuddle whenever. I have dog beds and a couch, everything is gated and I will never take a doggie out without a leash.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. From taking care of cattle on our ranch, to our first family dog when I was 7 years old. More than 30 years later, loving and caring for animals has been a consistent my entire life. I trained my own rescue pup and we shared 9 incredible years together. She went everywhere with me including the gym. I know what it’s like to have a four legged friend be the love of your life. I also volunteered with a local animal rescue and have done some unusual and complex care for unique animals (everything from treating fungus on a Harris’s hawk’s talons to bottle-feeding orphaned porcupines), and most recently helped my own dog through her senior years, including multiple daily medications and giving her a rich full life despite complex needs. That last part matters most for how I work: if your pet needs a strict medication schedule, has anxiety, or requires special handling, I take it seriously and follow instructions exactly. I’m not learning on the job, I’ve done it for a dog I love. I’m a reliable and a clear communicator. You’ll get updates, photos, and honesty, no surprises. Currently offering drop-in visits and walks in Missoula. All sizes and ages welcome, including seniors and pets with medical needs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I’m currently remote and self-employed, which gives me a flexible, predictable schedule I can build client visits around. I’m available weekdays for drop-in visits and walks, and I build my work hours around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. I check messages regularly and confirm visit times clearly in advance, so you always know exactly when I’ll arrive. I’m a lifelong Missoulian with the kind of reputation where my neighbors have me hold on to their extra house keys. Trust and communication are incredibly important to me. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions exactly, feeding times, medication schedules, leash routines, and anything specific to your furry companion. I’m experienced administering medication that doesn’t require needles and comfortable with pets who need extra care or a calmer pace. I always double-check doors and gates are secure before leaving, and I send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and cared for.

“Kalyn is an excellent dog walker. She is reliable and always communicates well with me. Shel is also gentle with my Sheltie. I highly recommend her.”

“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: Hi! I'm an animal lover with a remote job, giving me plenty of flexibility and free time to spend with your pet. I've been petsitting and housesitting since 2017, so I'm extremely experienced with many different types of animals, and I'd love to meet yours! I also adopted a dog of my own last year—a sweet and friendly Lab puppy named Cheddar. I grew up with a yellow lab and did most of his training work—I'm happy to teach your dog a new trick or reinforce regular training! I also lived with my sister and her dog for five years after college, frequently caring for her dog and house while she was away. After moving out, I fostered a 3-month-old husky/shepherd mix for a month, which was an amazing experience. Before adopting Cheddar, I spent over two and a half years traveling full-time as a housesitter, caring for pets all over the country. My goal is to create a pet care experience where both the pets and owner are happy and comfortable; I prioritize creating a secure and loving environment for your pets. If you would like to see additional references for my petsitting services, please let me know—I am happy to provide them upon request. For housesitting arrangements, I'm happy to provide the following services in addition to pet care: keeping the house clean and tidy, bringing in mail and packages, watering and maintaining plants, etc. As I work remote, I have plenty of time to care for pets and take them on walks at whatever time of day fits their schedule! I have a house with a HUGE fenced yard, and a very friendly pup who loves to play. I live within walking distance to dog parks and trails. For boarding services in my home, I ask that your dog be friendly with other dogs.

“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.”

About: I've taken care of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens since I was a kid. My mother worked at an animal shelter so we always had fosters around to care for and socialize. I've also had dogs and cats as family pets for as long as I can remember. I work long shifts as a package delivery driver Sunday-Wednesday so I am only available for walks/pet sitting Thursday-Saturday evening. I love animals though and am super excited to make some new pals! Unfortunately I can't have clients pets stay at my place but while I'm at their owners house/out for a walk the animal will remain leashed and have my full attention.

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.

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'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.

“Meridian has been a huge help to us! She is reliable, a great communicator, and is great with our pups. We highly recommend her for walks and drop in visits.”

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!

About: Hello! I am currently spending my summer in Moose working for Dornan's ranch. I would love to watch your pets in my free time! I have completed a Veterinary Technician course in which I administered medication and learned the proper care for smaller animals. I am more than happy to travel to your home to watch it/your pet as well. My schedule does vary, but for the most part I am working mornings and would be home around 5pm. I can work around my schedule to fit your needs, so just let me know what is most convenient for you. I am able to create or follow a consistent schedule just like you already have, making sure they have regular meals, play sessions, and quiet time to rest.
