“Emily is great! She is an animal lover and does a wonderful job with my little ones! She's dependable, kind, and trustworthy! Thank you so much for doing a great job Emily! I'll definitely use her services again :)”


“Matthew is a 10/10 sitter. He's taken care of my cat a handful of times and does a stellar job communicating, cleaning, and ensuring your friend is happy and healthy while you are away!”


“I am so very happy with the care and attention that Danielle provided for my dog, Penny. I received great photos and notes from her after every visit. What a GREAT sitter!!!”



“Haley was very diligent with feeding, cleaning and giving my senior cat her meds. She seemed to key in to their personalities and they clearly warmed up to her after hiding under the bed for the first visits. I have already rebooked her.”


“Kaitlyn was a wonderful cat sitter. She is thoughtful and went above and beyond taking care of our kitty while we were away. She checked in for everyday she saw our kitty and I felt so good knowing she was watching over her. Kaitlyn is our new go to cat sitter!”


“Danielle swooped in and saved the day! On short notice Danielle agreed to care for our dog while we were gone for a night. Dakota was such a happy guy when we returned and we loved the photos Danielle sent! Will definitely reach out to her again.”


“Molly is the absolute best! Winston can be a little tough to deal with and she is alway up for the task - getting him out the door on a walk even if he’s feeling uncertain about it. Molly is so patient and kind while reassuring him.”

About: We have a sign in our house that says it all: this house owned and operated solely for the comfort and convenience of our dog. I've spent my entire life around dogs as my family and friends often had dogs in the house. My husband, Gabe, and I have had 3 dogs over the last 10+ years and currently have an only child named Archer! We are very attentive, loving, nurturing and love a good doggie cuddle session. We've cared for our friends dogs off and on over the past several years and have also fostered dogs with animal rescues. We are very familiar with the care of rescue dogs - especially skittish ones - and comfortable with commands and reinforcing any training (we have rescued and adored our own very skittish dog). Myself or Gabe will be around most of the day/evening and we have a large fenced back and front yard for the dogs to enjoy. Our dogs go outside many times a day... we don't keep track but we rarely turn them down when they stare longingly at the door. We let them explore till they come back to the door or we call them in! The same would be true for your dog - almost unlimited outside time! We will follow the instructions you give to a "T" and will enforce any rules you have at your house at our own. We will happily walk dogs who stay with us (if leash trained) and exercise in the yard with any dogs who love chase or fetch! We feel comfortable administering medications as needed (no injections). Alyssa works full time from home and Gabe works part time with flexible hours. One of us will be around the majority of the day. We are very flexible on needs of our clients within our schedule. We have a fenced yard and two fur children of our own to keep yours company. We care for our dogs as if they are our children (they are!) and will treat your pets like our own.

“Margot went above and beyond in watching our cats! When we had a last minute cancellation, she did everything in her power to cover the visits we still needed. She provided our cats the gentle compassionate care they needed, especially the one with special medical needs. I have never seen him so happy and cuddly after we’ve been gone. Definitely recommend!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals of all types since I was a child; they have always been a very integral part of my life. Growing up with dogs and cats taught me responsibility, patience and gave me a deep understanding of the bond that forms between humans and their pets. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for animals of all sizes and temperaments, learning to understand their needs and subtle ways they communicate. In more recent years, I’ve branched out to care for all kinds of furry exotics. So in addition to dogs and cats, I have experience with hamsters, rats, rabbits and ferrets! For me, looking after animals isn’t just a task, it’s a passion rooted in years of experience and love. I currently work full time nights, so I have a lot of spare time to play with your pets during your working hours! :) I am available for walks and drop ins 11am to 6pm Monday through Friday. I understand that every pet owner has specific preferences and routines for their pets. I will always discuss your priorities with you, at length, before the first walk or home drop in. I always aim to make the pets I work with as comfortable as possible.

“Just began a weekly drop-in arrangement with Avery. She is top notch. Communication has been ideal. Sent me wonderful pictures of my pup. When I got home he was noticeably happier than usual. Great vibes so far, I would recommend this walker/sitter to anyone looking for one.”


“Amazing and attentive with your animals. 10/10 would recommend. Also was able to help us out and continue care when we had unplanned travel issues happened on short notice. Will absolutely be using her again!”


About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a kid - from dogs, to fish, to birds. The animals I care for bring me as much joy as I try to give them. I'm active in the outdoors and am more than happy to bring your pet on a harder hike or run on the trails if they need to let some energy out. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I'm currently working remotely with lots of time throughout the day to care for your pup. I can take them for trail runs, hikes, or walks around the neighborhood throughout the day. I am in Missoula some weekends and can care for your pup or take them on some adventures. I am currently unable to care for any pets in my own apartment, but am more than willing to care for them in your home.

We have no hesitation about leaving our dogs in their care.”
