I was worried about my Little Girl feeling lonely at home while I was away on a last minute trip. Danielle was very communicative and shared pictures of my cat, which helped ease my mind. I highly recommend Danielle for your petsitting needs.

We were nervous leaving our newly adopted cat for the first time but felt comforted by Molly’s presence when she came over to meet us and Reese. We were eager for her updates and photos and appreciated that she was always timely to respond. Would definitely leave our kitty in Molly’s care again in the future.

We were so glad Kalyn was available for a last minute visit to our cats while we were out of town. One cat showed small signs of sickness just as we were leaving and having Kalyn check on them and make sure he was okay was super reassuring. Thank you so much Kalyn!!

This was our first experience using Rover, and Haley was absolutely amazing! She kept in great communication throughout, sending us plenty of photos to reassure us that everything was going well. She even left thoughtful notes about how our dogs did. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone we can truly trust to care for our fur babies while we’re away. We’ll definitely be booking with Haley again in the future!

I had to be away from my kitty Ashke for WAY longer than I normally have to, as my grandmother had passed away and I needed to be home in California to handle her memorial and other things. Louise went above and beyond with Ashke, not just checking to make sure she was fed and doing well, but spending a while with her every day giving her love and pets. I got pictures almost every day of Ashke and she looked happy and well taken care of. So so grateful that someone like Louise was taking care of my fur baby, it meant I could enjoy my time with my family without worrying about Ash. Thank you Louise!!

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 at my family home. 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.

Heart Of Missoula, Missoula, MT, 59802

About: I have had a wonderful love for animals my whole life, and have immensely enjoyed any time I have had the opportunity to take care of a pet for someone while they are on vacation, or even just away for the day at work. I happen to love active outdoor time myself, so I'm always happy to go for a long walk, a short jog, or even a pretty hike! I know how crucial enrichment and activity time is for happy pups, so I love getting to be a part of running around with toys, practicing any training they have with them, or just seeing their tails wag on a good walk. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, so whether their needs are a long walk, some tug of war, or just a potty break and some good ear scratches, I'm down for whatever it takes to make your furry family members feel as loved and cared for as I can. As an online student, I have quite a flexible schedule! I am happy to offer care on weekends with enough heads up, and can make just about any day of the week work if needed. I believe that safe, happy homes with safe, happy families are so special and something not to be taken lightly. I know that inviting strangers into your home to care for the pet that you love dearly can be a daunting task, which is why it is a goal of mine as a person and as a pet sitter to show every animal, every home, and every human I encounter with the utmost love and respect I can muster. I consider our pets to be true members of our family, and that they deserve the most love and care we have to offer. With that in mind, my goal is to strictly follow any instructions and information given to care for and respect every pet and every home.

Emma is fantastic! She stayed with my 6 month old dog for several hours on 2 consecutive days while I worked long shifts. I was certain Luna was well taken care of while I was gone. Emma is punctual, responsive & thoughtful! I will definitely use her again in the future for house/pet sitting!

Casey came through last minute and I was super impressed with the level of service he provided. He spent real quality time with my animals and it was obvious that he genuinely cares. He sent daily pictures and notes about the walk and visit too, which was really nice. i most definitely will call on Casey again and couldn't recommend him more.

Tori has been amazing! She takes such good care of my puppy and always tells me the fun things that my puppy is doing. Her descriptions when she drops by are detailed and make me feel like she is taking the time to learn about my puppy. She even refilled his water bowl before she left! Genuinely cares and is so kind! 100% would recommended!
