“Melodi was so kind and easy to work with. Murphy had a grand time with she and her pups. No signs of stress at all during visit or upon picking him up. We will definitely be using Melodi in the future.”
“Our pup, Chaco, was in amazing hands! She loved her walks, swims in the river, playtime with her best dog friend Juniper, and extra cuddles from the kids. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the day. It made our days while being away. We also had a travel delay and Gabrielle was able to host our pup for another day. It was extremely helpful. Definitely love the family for taking amazing care of our pup! 💕🐾”
“Thank you for loving our big girl. She was happy and healthy when I picked her up, just as she always is when you watch her for us. We are so grateful to have found you! Happy New Year!!”
“We feel completely at ease leaving our dog with Kenny and his family. We know she’ll be in great hands. We love the photo updates and the stories of how much Kenny’s kids love our dog.”
“Five stars! This was our first time leaving the pups with someone and I am so grateful we found Jen. I knew they were being taken care of and loved like her own pets. It was easy to communicate and I received photos and updates and that really helped us while being away from them. We will definitely be taking our doggies back to stay at Jen’s!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, having grown up with them since the age of five. Caring for dogs has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely love giving them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away, knowing their pets would be safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in being attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m now excited to turn this lifelong passion into something fulfilling and rewarding by offering reliable dog-sitting services. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace—and I always strive to create a calm, loving environment. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, secure, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog will return to you just as happy as you make them. I work from home so will have plenty of time to play and give attention to your fur babies. I will make lots of time for playtime, walks and love. I have a fenced in yard or I can keep them crated if you need/want. Just depends on your preference. If you want me to dog sit at your house, I will follow whatever routine you already have with your dogs so they don’t even realize you are gone or mess their routine up too much.
“Emma was absolutely amazing with Jasper! She took him on a good hike everyday and sent lots of beautiful pictures. He and Brody looked to be great friends and I felt bad breaking them up to take Jasper home. I loved that she was able to be with him so much her having a teleworking job. I would totally use her again!”
“Megan and Matt are great! Maeve had such a great time. She got so much exercise which is important to me and her, as she is a high energy breed! I love all the photos they sent of her on hikes and walks. 10/10 would book again.”
“Our host was wonderful with koda bear, my German Shepherd. They took him on walks and even on a hike, which he absolutely loved. It was clear that koda bear was well cared for and had a great time during his stay. I appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. He came home happy and tired from all the fun. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I LOVE DOGS! I have been training dogs in some capacity since I was 8 years old and pet/farm sitting for many years. As a licensed veterinary technician since 2011, I have plenty of experience not only caring for your pet but what to do if an emergency were to occur. I worked in an ER clinic for 10 years specifically and am well versed in how to deal with minor to major injuries or illnesses if that were to occur while you were away. We try to keep your pet's schedule the same as yours best we can. With Heidi currently working from home this is much more easily facilitated. Our home has a fenced yard for our own pups, dog friendly environment and no furniture off limits household. We do have one cat but she is good at reading dog energy in a room.
“Barbara took wonderful care of our two dogs. They were tired and happy when we picked them up. It’s clear she has a love for animals and her golden retriever, Barkley, is the best. Anytime I’m in Missoula, I hope Barbara can take care of my dogs.”
“My pet, Pepper, had a 5 star stay with a 5 star sitter. Theresa is a warm person who has a loving passion for dogs. She takes only one pet at a time, is stay at home, and devotes full attention to her furry guests. What's not to like about this? She also has a big friendly dog of her own and a large fenced yard. After a short time both dogs became pals...another positive. I highly recommend Therea.”
“Nicole was amazing and gave my dog Kintla an amazing dog holiday while my kids and I were on vacation. Thank you so much Nicole! Kintla can’t wait to come back!”
“Andrea and her pup, Ruger, came through when we had an unexpected trip come up. She took care of our dog-girl with no issues at all. Would definitely use her again!”
“It was a first for us leaving our Emmitt for any extended period of time. Lynn and her kiddos were just awesome from the moment we met. My wife's stress level just evaporated once we were able to visit with Lynn and see how comfortable and safe it would be for Em there. Clearly a very genuine pet loving family. It became immediately evident Emmitt felt right at home from the time we dropped him off. Lynn not only sent us photos every day, she was over and above helping with meds Em needed to take daily. We really appreciate you and your family Lynn, thank you and we will definitely use your help again if you'll have us! Jim, Amy and Emmitt”
“Memo was WONDERFUL! I have a two year old border collie who is extremely high energy. Memo really took the time, and went the extra mile to WEAR. HIM. OUT. She was very sweet with our dog, and took care of him as if he were her own. Memo seemed very intuitive to our dogs needs, and adjusted things so he would be more comfortable. Memo was very commutative, and gave wonderful pupdates! Our dog had a freaking blast, and I'm extremely grateful we booked with Memo. 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Our older dog was well taken care of by Ellen. We received cute updates and quick communication. Would be happy to have her look after our Sidney again and Sidney would be happy to see her!”
“My golden retriever gets so excited every time she stays with Nick and Margie. Nick takes very good care of my girl, sends photos, is a great communicator and gives updates. I always feel very confident and comfortable leaving town knowing she is going to be well taken care of and also have such a fun time playing and snuggling. The best! We will keep coming back.”
“Our dog had a great time! Danielle went out of her way to make everything as easy as possible for us. Danielle and Leroy took great care of our dog and kept him busy and happy. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have previously owned Labradoodles so I have 18 years of experience with high energy dogs. I also have experience in taking care of dogs who require extra medical care. I love to walk, hike and go for runs with dogs but most importantly, I can give them love and attention while you are away. I am retired and looking for the opportunity to assist you in the care of your furry friends while you are working and or traveling. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have a large fences back yard, with no pets of my own. At night I have a mud room for your dog to comfortably sleep in or if needed a pad to lay in a bedroom.

“Melodi did a great job taking care of my kitties! It was nice getting updates and photos while away. Melodi was also very understanding when I had a last-minute schedule change so I really appreciated her flexibility. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and Melodi made it a great experience!”
About: I’ve had cats in my home consistently for about 35 years. My most recent cat was a feral cat from North Dakota who was an orange tabby named Max. He died of old age about 5 months ago. Most of my cats have been black domestic cats and great mousers. One of my female cats used to bring me squirrels and rabbits as gifts. I think cats are amazing animals that think highly of themselves lol!
About: Hello! I’ve been around animals my whole life! My family and I currently have 6 dogs and 2 cats, pigs and 2 horses I’m really active so my dogs are to. I’m currently working full time but would love to do stuff after and before work or dog sit overnight! I’ll make any schedule work for the animals. I’ll check for fenced yard, always make sure trash will be sealed or where the animal can’t get to it and make sure all the doors are shut and locked!
“Victoria did an excellent job taking care of our cats, she sent pics and updates, taking all the stress away from leaving pets while on vacation. I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone, again she did a great job…”
“Leah has been an absolute godsend for our Loki! We’ve had her stay at our home while on vacation as well as having her drop in to provide him with much needed stimulation and exercise. He is always worn out and happy! He loves her! I recommend Leah 100%!!”
About: I have cared for the family cats for a few years now. I’ve helped with the feeding, medication, cleaning up of messes, and providing general comfort! I’ve cared for foster cats before also, so have an understanding of the special care some cats may need!
About: I have been dogsitting for the past 5 years. I love taking care of animals. I am reliable and flexible. Please reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you! I am a 1st/2nd grade teacher down the Bitterroot! I work Monday-Thursday. I am available Friday, Saturday & Sunday! I would love to take care of some animals on the side. I offer services which would include drop in visits & overnight stays. I also am willing to do some extra cleaning if you are in need.
About: I've been fortunate to always have pets in my life, and I currently have a 6 year old black cat named Salem. I've done dog sitting for friends and family in the past, and I've never met a doggo I didn't like. I work remotely as an engineer for a Montana-based company, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for drop in visits and overnight stays. I occasionally have to travel for work, but typically have at least a few weeks notice. Unfortunately unable to care for pets in my own home at this time, but I'm happy to stay overnight in yours if needed. Otherwise, happy to drop in during the day for visits, walks, etc.
“Nickolas took excellent care of my cat and provided excellent communication. He took care of Gir like his own and enjoyed the silly photos Id get. Thank you so much!!”
About: I have taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have done much Cat sitting. I have also taken care of Birds and Reptiles I am conscientious, reliable, communicative and trustworthy. Your pet will be safe with me. When in my care they are top priority. Caring for your pet/s is my full time duty. Your pet is the utmost importance of safety, love ,comfort and I will follow your instructions precisely, in order to keep your pet happy and content.
About: I grew up with pets of all kinds and I own a dog currently. I specialize in border collies since I grew up with that breed, but all four legged friends are welcome with me! I'm hoping for the chance to work with dogs, while picking my own hours. I have VERY LOW RATES since I’m trying to build my clientele in the valley, so make sure to take advantage of it! I understand that not all dogs are the same, and each has it's own personality and unique qualities. I'm hoping to provide a service that is specialized to be the best for your dog. If you have any questions about my experience or what I can do for you, please contact me. If there's any price or policy that you'd like to talk about, I'm more than willing to make accommodations. If you and your pup are happy, than so am I! I'm looking forward to meeting you :) -Jordan
“Holly was wonderful!! She was communicative & kind. Treated my home with care, and most importantly treated my kitty with the utmost love! He seemed very comfortable with her based on the photos. I truly appreciate her and all she did for my beloved furry friend!”
“Cam did a great job taking care of my cat and watching my house while I was gone for about a week. He left the house clean and everything was in good shape when I came home. His daily text updates with photos of my cat was really appreciated and made me rest easy so I could better enjoy my vacation. I strongly recommend Cam and plan to rebook with him next time.”
About: Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of the pets in my family. Bunnies, dogs, cats, fish, gerbils and mice. I’ve given baths, taken dogs on runs, cuddled with kittens, played with bunnies. I’ve had to give medication to animals before. I’m quite active (trail runner) and really open to anything. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I work remote from home as a video editor and I get to decide my own schedule and hours everyday. That means I get to prioritize your pet or home first! I’ve grown up with animals all my life - so I suppose at this point it is just second nature to be around them. I make sure not to leave often, especially in the first 48 hours, so that I can help keep your pets relax as you leave. I try to spend a lot of intentional time with them up front so they get to know me and trust me. I once had to walk a dog 5 times between 10pm and 2am because it was nervous, but by the next day we were best friends. It just takes time and patience.
About: Hi. My name is Kirstan and I am excited that you took the time to look at my profile. I have always loved animals and taking them for walks and coming home to them after a work day. They seem to help me relieve stress and clam me right down. Even though I don't have one for myself due to being in a rental. Experience includes house sitting, dog walking, and extended stays for 3 weeks to over one month. I have watched up to 6 dogs at one time. I am currently working full time Monday through Friday 8-5. I am looking for after work to walk dogs and weekends. I do not work at home. I am flexible nights and weekends. Also can do stay overs. My place doesn't allow animals at this time so I cant offer boarding at my house. I live right now in a duplex which is a rental so iam not able to host any pets at my house due to landlord rules.

About: Ive had and taken care of my dogs and other people's dogs and cats since I was 10. I have 3 dogs myself and love walking and spending time with them. I've administered medication, vaccines and know basic first aid. Experience also working at a horse stable so im comfortable around all animals. Hope to meet you and your fur babies soon. Free during the day most days as I work nights on the weekends. I can also do farm or livestock care I look forward to discussing you and your pets needs. I work from home and keep boarded dogs in office with me when working and in secured area/crate if I need to be out of the house. My yard is fenced with 6ft kennel panels.
About: I'm a wildlife biologist and grew up with pets of all kinds. I've raised puppies and kittens and cared for senior dogs and cats. Your pet will join my family, including our well-socialized dog, my husband (also a wildlife biologist), and our 2 daughters. I will personally provide the care for your pet in a safe, loving, and playful environment, a quiet space when needed, a roomy, cozy interior, and a beautiful, large fenced yard. I work from home in a part-time position and care for our family dog while kids are at school. I'm able to offer daily walks and as many mealtimes, potty breaks, and attention as your pet needs. At night, pets sleep inside in whichever arrangement is preferred for them. It can be so hard to leave a beloved pet, but worry not! I like to give pets their best life! I'm able to care for well-socialized pets and provide plenty of exercise and affection every day, and cozy resting spots where I am never far. I have a large fenced yard and 2 crates available if needed. Reactive dogs are not a good fit for my home.
About: My family has always had animals and I’ve always enjoyed taking care of them. From dogs to rabbits, I’ve learned how each animal communicates its needs and how to fulfill those needs. I’m currently on summer break from law school so I have plenty of time to fulfill any pet owner’s needs at any time that’s convenient for them. I live in an apartment surrounded by walkways and a trail that runs along the bitterroot river, great for dogs or animals that enjoy walks.
“I was in need of a last-minute dog sitter and Tavia responded quickly and saved the day! She was great with our pup and took several cute photos for us to let us know he was okay. I highly recommend her!”
About: Thought I'd try this app out to make an extra buck. I am a lover of all pets, well maybe not spiders. I grew up in the remote country of Wisconsin, with a bunch of farm animals, as well as cats and dogs. Growing up with pets, and farm animals is crucial for knowing animals. I'm always taking my roommates dog for walks, and to the dog park. We have a big fenced in yard in the heart of Missoula. Meru (my roommates female dog) is really friendly and loves all other cats and dogs. I would focus my energy on your dogs and cats of course, but if Meru and your dogs cross paths they'll be best friends for the day. Hope to hear from you, and lend a helping hand with your best friends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping a calm, clean environment. I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Brianna was quick to respond to any message I sent,, she took my dog on a hike and tried her best to get all of his energy out. Thank you so much for accommodating Quinn last minute!”
“I had an excellent experience with Kenneth, who recently watched my dog, Arnie. Kenneth was incredibly flexible and accommodating with my schedule, which made everything so much easier. His kindness and genuine love for animals were evident from the start. He kept me updated with regular photos, showing how happy and well-cared-for Arnie was. I felt completely at ease knowing that Arnie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Kenneth to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Seriously the best dogsitter ever! I was in town for an event with a schedule that kept changing so my plans were all over the place and Danielle was so helpful and came to the rescue last minute when I needed an extra day of daycare. My dog came home happy and he clearly had fun :) I've already booked Danielle again!”
“Megan is both responsive and responsible. She seamlessly folded my dog Emerson into her play time with her cute dog Cheddar. She sent several pictures to show that Emerson had a great day! I would definitely use Megan again if I need sitting in the Missoula area. Thanks Megan and Cheddar!”
“Lynn was extremely accommodating for us last minute and took very good care of our Abby Lou. I loved receiving photos and updates while in her care, she looked like she was right at home with her!”
“First, the pup was well taken-care of, happy, safe, all the good things. Second, Aderley was awesome. Quick responses and clear communication. Professional and lovely. She was very flexible to our timing needs which was super appreciated. I would DEFINITELY book Aderley again and am thankful she took care of our dog.”
“Jacob was truly the best person that has ever taken care of my dogs. They are both older Jack Russells and the one is partially blind. Jacob accommodated my husband and I in every possible way. We were staying at L’auberge hotel and we went to the Del Mar racecourse. He picked the dogs up on schedule and delivered them in perfect condition. When they saw me, they weren’t really very excited, which is indicative of how happy they were. He is the nicest person I’ve ever had take care of the dogs and I would highly recommend him and give him five stars. Lynne Bentel”

“Victoria was wonderful, made herself available at the last minute to schedule walks for my pup when I had to leave town unexpectedly. She came to meet us to make sure there would be no issues, and when my pup decided that walking wasn’t going to work for her (she’s a sensitive rescue), Victoria adapted and turned the walking session into a hang out session and sent me pictures of treats and greets.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 large breed dogs. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and many different temperaments, as well as working with reactive dogs on leash. I worked for a short while in the boarding portion of a vet clinic and have experience with overnight care of dogs and cats who needed very specific care such as specific foods and medications. I currently work part time, mostly remote and have flexible hours so I can fit home visits and dog walks pretty easily into my day. I live in Hamilton, so the closer you are to Hamilton the more likely it would be that I could help with short notice. I have a car and am happy to drive your pup to the park. I am usually unavailable on weekends but could most likely make something work Monday through Friday! I cannot have dogs at my house but I am available to come to your house for visits during the day (I need to be home with my own pups overnight) and could spend a few hours there working remotely if they need a little more time together. I would love to get them out for a walk or even short hike as well!

About: I have had pets in my life since I was in diapers. They are my emotional support animals, my friends, and my family. I am sitting here typing this while my 9 month old lab sleeps on my lap. I am a compassionate and patient person, and I also really enjoy going on long walks :) I currently make my own schedule and it is different than most peoples. Which works out great for pet sitting. I am available multiple days a week if needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a very friendly black lab. I will love your pet's, but I will also give them space if they need it. I can take your pet around the block, or on a 5 mile hike. I am obsessed with my pets, so I know what its like to trust someone else to care for them.
About: I was born and raised in the bitterroot valley and have never left! I have house and pet sat since I was 12 and have always loved it. I’ve cared for pets as well as livestock such as chickens, goats, and even horses and a donkey! Aside for animals, I have cared for house plants and gardens. I am happy to clean your house and make it my priority to leave everything better than I found it! I can stay overnight night or perform simple daily checkups. And if all you need is someone to walk the dog (or dogs!) I’d love to take them for a stroll to the park or along a quiet river path! I have always grown up around animals and know that they have needs besides my own. That stated I always have time for morning and evening feedings or walks, and I am also happy to make time in the afternoon if required! At home I start my day making sure the pets and livestock are fed, watered, and comfortable even before myself! Whenever I can I check up on them to make sure all is well. If a fence is broken or a gate ajar I won’t hesitate to fix it!

I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

“Our boy Cashew is still in the thicket of big-dog adolescence, and at 70lbs it can feel like steadying a runaway train, but Reid has been beyond wonderful with Cashew since the start! Reid is compassionate with our boy without letting him get away with unsafe behaviors, and now that I’m working 12hr days, I can trust that my boy will be exercised, exhausted, and excited to sleep until I’m back home. Choosing someone to bring into your home, while you’re not there, to temporarily *take your dog* is an undeniably stressful decision. Reid has made that process effortless, putting my entire family at ease, and I cannot recommend his services enough!”
About: I’ve always loved pets and animals and after moving to Missoula am missing the two dogs I had with my younger sister so I’m looking for pets to connect with and care for while I don’t have any of my own. I work for Competitive Timing, a company that runs electronic timing for races and other running events. Because of that, I’m often gone traveling on weekends but during the weekdays I’m free to do whatever it is your pets would need and keep up their normal routine. I try to make the transition as seamless as possible caring for your pets in your home, on their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

“Melodi was so kind and easy to work with. Murphy had a grand time with she and her pups. No signs of stress at all during visit or upon picking him up. We will definitely be using Melodi in the future.”
“Our pup, Chaco, was in amazing hands! She loved her walks, swims in the river, playtime with her best dog friend Juniper, and extra cuddles from the kids. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the day. It made our days while being away. We also had a travel delay and Gabrielle was able to host our pup for another day. It was extremely helpful. Definitely love the family for taking amazing care of our pup! 💕🐾”
“Thank you for loving our big girl. She was happy and healthy when I picked her up, just as she always is when you watch her for us. We are so grateful to have found you! Happy New Year!!”
“We feel completely at ease leaving our dog with Kenny and his family. We know she’ll be in great hands. We love the photo updates and the stories of how much Kenny’s kids love our dog.”
“Five stars! This was our first time leaving the pups with someone and I am so grateful we found Jen. I knew they were being taken care of and loved like her own pets. It was easy to communicate and I received photos and updates and that really helped us while being away from them. We will definitely be taking our doggies back to stay at Jen’s!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, having grown up with them since the age of five. Caring for dogs has always been a natural and meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely love giving them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away, knowing their pets would be safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in being attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m now excited to turn this lifelong passion into something fulfilling and rewarding by offering reliable dog-sitting services. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace—and I always strive to create a calm, loving environment. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel happy, secure, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your dog will return to you just as happy as you make them. I work from home so will have plenty of time to play and give attention to your fur babies. I will make lots of time for playtime, walks and love. I have a fenced in yard or I can keep them crated if you need/want. Just depends on your preference. If you want me to dog sit at your house, I will follow whatever routine you already have with your dogs so they don’t even realize you are gone or mess their routine up too much.
“Emma was absolutely amazing with Jasper! She took him on a good hike everyday and sent lots of beautiful pictures. He and Brody looked to be great friends and I felt bad breaking them up to take Jasper home. I loved that she was able to be with him so much her having a teleworking job. I would totally use her again!”
“Megan and Matt are great! Maeve had such a great time. She got so much exercise which is important to me and her, as she is a high energy breed! I love all the photos they sent of her on hikes and walks. 10/10 would book again.”
“Our host was wonderful with koda bear, my German Shepherd. They took him on walks and even on a hike, which he absolutely loved. It was clear that koda bear was well cared for and had a great time during his stay. I appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. He came home happy and tired from all the fun. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I LOVE DOGS! I have been training dogs in some capacity since I was 8 years old and pet/farm sitting for many years. As a licensed veterinary technician since 2011, I have plenty of experience not only caring for your pet but what to do if an emergency were to occur. I worked in an ER clinic for 10 years specifically and am well versed in how to deal with minor to major injuries or illnesses if that were to occur while you were away. We try to keep your pet's schedule the same as yours best we can. With Heidi currently working from home this is much more easily facilitated. Our home has a fenced yard for our own pups, dog friendly environment and no furniture off limits household. We do have one cat but she is good at reading dog energy in a room.
“Barbara took wonderful care of our two dogs. They were tired and happy when we picked them up. It’s clear she has a love for animals and her golden retriever, Barkley, is the best. Anytime I’m in Missoula, I hope Barbara can take care of my dogs.”
“My pet, Pepper, had a 5 star stay with a 5 star sitter. Theresa is a warm person who has a loving passion for dogs. She takes only one pet at a time, is stay at home, and devotes full attention to her furry guests. What's not to like about this? She also has a big friendly dog of her own and a large fenced yard. After a short time both dogs became pals...another positive. I highly recommend Therea.”
“Nicole was amazing and gave my dog Kintla an amazing dog holiday while my kids and I were on vacation. Thank you so much Nicole! Kintla can’t wait to come back!”
“Andrea and her pup, Ruger, came through when we had an unexpected trip come up. She took care of our dog-girl with no issues at all. Would definitely use her again!”
“It was a first for us leaving our Emmitt for any extended period of time. Lynn and her kiddos were just awesome from the moment we met. My wife's stress level just evaporated once we were able to visit with Lynn and see how comfortable and safe it would be for Em there. Clearly a very genuine pet loving family. It became immediately evident Emmitt felt right at home from the time we dropped him off. Lynn not only sent us photos every day, she was over and above helping with meds Em needed to take daily. We really appreciate you and your family Lynn, thank you and we will definitely use your help again if you'll have us! Jim, Amy and Emmitt”
“Memo was WONDERFUL! I have a two year old border collie who is extremely high energy. Memo really took the time, and went the extra mile to WEAR. HIM. OUT. She was very sweet with our dog, and took care of him as if he were her own. Memo seemed very intuitive to our dogs needs, and adjusted things so he would be more comfortable. Memo was very commutative, and gave wonderful pupdates! Our dog had a freaking blast, and I'm extremely grateful we booked with Memo. 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Our older dog was well taken care of by Ellen. We received cute updates and quick communication. Would be happy to have her look after our Sidney again and Sidney would be happy to see her!”
“My golden retriever gets so excited every time she stays with Nick and Margie. Nick takes very good care of my girl, sends photos, is a great communicator and gives updates. I always feel very confident and comfortable leaving town knowing she is going to be well taken care of and also have such a fun time playing and snuggling. The best! We will keep coming back.”
About: I have previously owned Labradoodles so I have 18 years of experience with high energy dogs. I also have experience in taking care of dogs who require extra medical care. I love to walk, hike and go for runs with dogs but most importantly, I can give them love and attention while you are away. I am retired and looking for the opportunity to assist you in the care of your furry friends while you are working and or traveling. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have a large fences back yard, with no pets of my own. At night I have a mud room for your dog to comfortably sleep in or if needed a pad to lay in a bedroom.
“I left my dog with Aderley for a whole week and an half and everything went smoothly. She let me meet her, her dog and family before drop off day. I got updates throughout my trip with photos that gave me the reassurance I needed. Would definitely trust her to watch my dog again.”
