“Excellent experience for me and and my Welch Springer Spaniel, Ari. Aneesa is not only a very knowledgeable experienced gentle handler but also a very efficient and nice person. Anyone in need of help with their dog would be fortunate indeed to find her. I can highly recommend Aneesa.”

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 grew up on a ranch in Eastern Montana where I learned to take care of a large variety of pets. I am a student at the University of Montana and a member of the Griz Dance Team. I currently have my own 2 year old golden retriever named Goose. He is as sweet as can be. I strongly value reliable care for him. I would love to help ensure you your pet is taken care of while you are away! I currently work at the front desk of a hotel 3-11PM Monday-Friday, I’m here to help with walking needs in the mornings! Very flexible with last minute bookings, feel free to message me whenever:) I value providing safe care for your pet and making the time spent together valuable and fun! Book with me today for a great pet care experience!
About: I love walking dogs- I get almost as excited as they do. I am a patient and attentive care-giver, ready to listen to every need of yours and your pet. I'll give your pet all the attention they want and deserve! I have had cats and dogs of my own for my whole life and I have taken care of friends' and neighbors' pets occasionally. I would really like to make dog walking and sitting a more regular part of my life by making my services more widely available. I love taking my dog on long hikes or walks and would love to do the same for yours! If your dog likes a hiking companion like mine does, that would be ideal, but I can also accommodate solo walks to fit your dog's needs. I am in school and have openings in my daily schedule for morning, mid-day, afternoon, or evening walks and check-ins. I'm available weekdays and weekends. I am happy to care for your pet in your home and follow instructions that will keep your pet safe and comfortable (i.e. supervise them in a fenced yard, keep them leashed, keep them separate from other dogs if necessary). I live in a rental that does not permit other dogs at the moment so I will be happy to take care of pets in their own homes.
“Molly was fantastic! She was warm and reliable. She came when she said she would and provided both verbal and photo updates. She made sure the pups were safe on their walk. She left the house as she found it. We definitely will be using her services again Thanks 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.”

“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: Whether I’m taking care of my own cat, or just getting to know your pets for a few days, I promise to show them all the same love! I’ve had pets my whole life, and have had a cat that’s been the center of my world the past few years. Obviously her basic needs are always a top priority, but so is just spending time hanging out and playing. I recently moved to Missoula and had to leave her at home with my sister, so I’m really missing having animals around me. I currently live in a house with a small enclosed backyard and a large park nearby. The neighborhood is overall pretty quiet and great for walks!
About: Hello! My experience caring for dogs and other animals began with volunteering at rescue organizations with my grandmother at 12. I grew up with a wide variety of animals and have professionally cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens, rabbits, and more. I am comfortable with pups of all ages and have experience administering medicine (including injections) and caring for animals with special needs. I am active and able to handle rambunctious youngsters as well as older dogs requiring a tender touch. I do have transportation. I am not able to care for your pet in my home due to my own animals and I am only available for overnights if I am able to bring my daughter with me, but I can do walks and drop-ins. I love animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own! I am currently a full-time student and a full-time mom, but my schedule is flexible. The best times for me are between 9am and 9pm. I am able to do walks and drop-ins. I do have a vehicle that can transport dogs for walks. I am only able to do overnights if I bring my daughter along.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and watched family friends dogs of all different breeds and energy levels. Fun to hang with them all! I am currently working part time and have one very social pup of my own that I get out on Tuesday and Thursdays. She would love to have friends but I also have plenty of time for solo walks those days if yours is a more independent, less social pup. Rain, snow or shine, we get out so we’d love to have your dog join us! Our pup is indoors as well as outdoors during the day. I have a large vehicle to take dogs to and from the trailhead with me. Any questions, feel free to reach out!
“Peter did an amazing job walking our high energy, adolescent dog. He was very attentive about using the same commands and reinforcement of training techniques. I also really appreciated his great communication. The daily pictures and updates made me smile. Walks with Peter were definitely the highlight of my dog's day while we were away. We'll absolutely reach out again in the future. Thank you!”

“Lea's meticulous attention to detail truly sets her apart. She asked insightful questions about my dog's needs and preferences, demonstrating a genuine commitment to providing the best care possible. I appreciate her thoroughness and can confidently say that my dog is in excellent hands with Lea. I look forward to booking her services again in the future—you can't go wrong with someone so dedicated and caring!”

“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've been taking care of dogs (and cats) ever since I can remember. Starting with my family who always had dogs, I was often responsible for taking them on walks, feeding/caring for them, etc.. Later, I became the go to pet sitter in my hometown neighborhood and got a dog of my own. I genuinely enjoy this type of work and do my best to make sure the dogs I'm with remain well taken care of. They deserve only the best.--As I know from personal experience, they are family too. I am only working part time for the summer/fall season, and therefore, have ample time for pet sitting. My job is quite flexible and I can be available most days for walking and evenings for house sitting. I am happy to follow whatever guidelines suit your needs for house sitting-- whether you keep them out, crate them, or only allow them to wander certain areas of your living space, I'll be sure to follow suit. --Whatever is helpful for both your dog and yourself to feel most comfortable.
“Great experience! Our puppy got just what he needed - a walk, a bit of a play, and attentive care. We got what we needed - pictures, notice of when the walk started and ended, all of which helps when we cannot be home!”
