Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bigfork
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bigfork
“Olivia and the whole family were exceptionalllll!!! They have an amazing play space and their dogs are so friendly!! I knew Charlie was in good hands the moment I dropped her off for four days while I was hiking in Glacier NP! I got constant updates and photos and Charlie seemed so happy! She was actually upset I picked her up!! Thank you so much Olivia & fam!!”
“Devonna was awesome! She made Petey feel like he was at home and made us feel super-comfortable with having him pet-sit for the first time. She was extremely flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. We will definitely book again!”
“Morgan always takes the best care of our Lucy. Lucy has unlimited amounts of energy but she always comes home from Morgan’s exhausted! She never wants to come home because she’s having too much fun.”
“Zoie was an absolutely incredible dog sitter. Five stars does not feel like enough. She sent frequent updates throughout their stay, which gave me a great deal of peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive and proactive, reaching out when one of my dogs was whining so we could work together to figure out what he needed. My two dogs have special needs. One is blind and takes daily medication, and the other is deaf. Caring for them requires patience, attention, and flexibility, and Zoie handled it all with kindness and confidence for more than a week. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cared about their well being. I also made a mistake with my travel plans, and Zoie graciously kept them an extra night without hesitation. When they ran out of food before their new shipment arrived, she made sure they were fed and cared for until it did. One of my dogs even came home with a toy he became completely obsessed with, which was such a thoughtful gesture and a reflection of how much attention she paid to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Zoie consistently went above and beyond. She was not just a five star sitter. She was a ten. I would trust her with my dogs again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Oh my goodness! Neville and Ned had the best time with Vicki and Clint. They were treated so well and loved. Our fur babies love to be with their humans and you could tell they were very happy because when we picked them up they greeted us but then went back for more cuddles with V and C🥰🥰🥰🥰”
“Brycen is a very sweet girl and was great for our pup Ali! He was a happy boy and very clearly, well cared for. She accommodated his medical needs and took him for fun adventures. It was really nice being able to leave him for the weekend knowing he was loved and in good hands!”
“Elizabeth and her adorable family took such great care of my pup! The photos and feedback gave me such peace of mind. I have a high energy Border Collie and they really did their best to match her energy.”
“Naim was very responsive to iur needs for a dog sitter. He reassured us with his own calm dog and he treated Mika as one of his family. He sent photos and videos and overall took great care of our pup. We are very appreciative!”
“Andy took excellent care of our senior pup Bella. He sent us pictures of her stay and updates on how she was doing. This allowed us to fully enjoy our son’s wedding without worrying about how Bella was doing without us. We will definitely rehire Andy the next time we cannot travel with Bella 👍”
“Shannon and Zach were amazing with Bella. They made her feel part of the family and she loved playing with their kids and dog. Shannon also has some serious photography skills! Couldn’t recommend them any more strongly!”
“Our trip to Glacier was possible because of Whitney’s great care and perfect location. We knew our dog was safe and happy while we toured the park. Thank you Whitney!”
“My dog Remi suffers from separation anxiety and I was nervous about leaving her alone in a new place with people she had not previously become familiar with, but she instantly felt very comfortable with McKenzie and her pups. Remi ran around in Mckenzie's front yard doing her "happy dance", which she only does when spending time with people she really likes, when it was time for her to leave. McKenzie is a terrific dog sitter and highly recommended.”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful! She was so flexible and accommodating with an early morning drop-off and late pick-up around my 12-hour clinical shift. My dogs loved running around her yard and became fast friends with her dog. They were so happy at the end of the day, I could tell they loved being there.”
“Alyssa is truly incredible! We fully trusted her with the care of our dog for 2 nights and 3 days while we went to explore the east side of Glacier National Park! She continuously sent me photos and updates of how she was doing and our dog loved playing with her dog! I could not recommend Alyssa enough, she is incredibly nice, thoughtful, great at communicating and I feel lucky to have found someone to trust taking care of our dog ☺️”
“Maisie Jane had a great time on her first overnights away from me. I got lots of great photos and communication about how she was doing while she was there. Thank you so so much for taking such good care of my sweet baby dog, Shauna, Deanna and Cody!”
“Avril was great with Athena and kept us updated with photos the whole time which we really appreciated! She was also willing to meet us beforehand with her dog Jill as our dog is still working on socializing. This made us feel much more comfortable having Athena stay with Avril and Jill for a few days. Jill was a great companion for our dog and when we picked up Athena she was better behaved and more relaxed than when we dropped her off. We will 100% bring Athena to Avril again. Thanks so much Avril!!”

About: I grew up with dogs in my household, small and larger. I was fortunate enough to be raised in a family where outdoor activities were a common occurrence. We would snowshoe with the dogs in the winter and take them to the lake in the summer. Currently, I have a senior dog named Kota, who is almost 11 and has arthritis. These days, we tend to have shorter walks on more flat trails but still love to get outside for some activity. I also have a 7-year-old beagle who is still very energetic and active. I do have to adapt to each dogs needs and take pride in being in tune with my dogs and how they are feeling. I do have a job outside of pet sitting but I am flexible with my schedule due to the nature of my work, I will always try to accommodate to the best of my ability. I like to make sure that active dogs get the exercise they require, and plenty of love and attention. It is important to me that they are comfortable and happy while their family is away.
“I am so happy to have found Laurie. She took wonderful care of my 2 elusive cats. She sent pictures (when they made an appearance) on her visits to my house while I was away. I will definitely use Laurie again and highly recommend her services.”

She responded promptly, was super flexible about key pickup/dropoff, and even checked in on Gimli an extra time for free because she felt that he was feeling really lonely. I'm never going to use another cat sitter again! Jessica, you seriously rock!”

About: Passionate Dog Trainer/Walker Ready to go on Adventures Hello there! My name is Zoro, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your friendly neighborhood dog trainer/walker. With a heart full of love for all our furry friends, I cannot wait to embark on exciting adventures with your beloved canine companion. My journey as a dog walker began years ago when I discovered my deep-rooted connection with animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I quickly realized that spending time with dogs brought me unparalleled joy and fulfillment. From that moment on, I knew that my purpose in life was to provide exceptional care and support to our four-legged friends. When it comes to my dog walking philosophy, I believe in nurturing not only physical well-being but also emotional happiness for our furry pals. My primary goal is to create a safe and stimulating environment where dogs can thrive, explore, and have an absolute ball during our walks together. With an innate understanding of canine behavior, I am adept at tailoring my approach to cater to the unique needs and personalities of each dog I encounter. Whether it's a high-energy pooch who craves a vigorous run in the park or a more mellow companion who prefers a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, I am committed to providing a customized experience that leaves their tail wagging with joy. Safety is my top priority, and you can rest assured that your furry friend will be in capable hands under my care. I am well-versed in canine first aid and CPR, and I maintain a keen eye for potential hazards during our outings. I am also experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that even the most timid or boisterous canines feel secure and comfortable throughout our walks. In addition to the physical exercise aspect, I strongly believe in the power of mental stimulation for dogs. I incorporate engaging activities, such as interactive games and puzzle toys, to keep their minds sharp and active. Whether it's sniffing out hidden treats or practicing basic obedience commands, I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to make our time together both fun and mentally enriching. Above all, I strive to build trusting relationships not only with the dogs I walk but also with their human companions. Open and transparent communication is key to providing the best care possible, and I am always available to discuss any concerns, requests, or special instructions you may have. Your dog's well-being and happiness are of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to going the extra mile to ensure their needs are met. So, if you're searching for a dog walker who combines boundless enthusiasm, unwavering dedication, and a genuine love for dogs, look no further! Let's join forces and embark on a tail-wagging adventure together. Contact me today, and let's schedule a meet-and-greet to see if I'm the perfect fit for your four-legged friend. Together, we'll create pawsome memories that will last a lifetime! I work from anywhere I have mostly answer phone calls for my business. Which gives me time to take care of dogs. Train them and take them on adventures. When it comes to caring for pets in either my home or my client's home, I ensure that their well-being, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. The specific care provided may vary depending on the service I offer, so let's delve into both scenarios: Caring for pets in my home: If I offer services where pets stay with me, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment that replicates a home-like atmosphere. Here's how I care for pets in my home: 1. Comfortable accommodations: I provide a cozy space for pets to relax, ensuring they have a comfortable bed or a designated area where they can unwind. 2. Regular feeding and hydration: I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner and make sure fresh water is readily available at all times. Special dietary needs or medication administration will be strictly followed as instructed. 3. Exercise and playtime: I engage pets in stimulating activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or enjoying interactive toys, I ensure they receive the exercise and mental stimulation they require. 4. Regular potty breaks and hygiene: I maintain a consistent bathroom schedule, taking pets outside for potty breaks. I also provide regular grooming, including brushing, bathing, and nail trims, if necessary. 5. Safety and supervision: I create a secure environment, free from potential hazards, and monitor pets closely to ensure their safety at all times. I supervise their interactions with other pets, if applicable, to ensure a peaceful and harmonious environment. Caring for pets in the client's home: If I offer services where I visit the client's home to care for their pets, my approach revolves around maintaining their routine and surroundings. Here's how I care for pets in their own homes: 1. Adhering to routines: I strive to follow the established routines provided by the pet owner, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions for their care. 2. Feeding and medication administration: I ensure pets receive their meals according to the provided schedule and administer any necessary medications as instructed. 3. Exercise and enrichment: I engage pets in physical activities tailored to their needs, whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or engaging in interactive play. I also provide mental stimulation through puzzles, toys, and positive reinforcement training. 4. Maintaining cleanliness: I keep the pet's living areas clean and tidy, including regular litter box cleaning for cats or ensuring a clean outdoor space for dogs. 5. Security and well-being: I make sure the home is secure during my visits, ensuring doors and windows are properly closed and locked. I also keep a watchful eye for any potential signs of distress or health issues in the pets and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client's home, ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in every possible way.
“While on vacation we had an opportunity to use Morgan’s pet sitting services. She did a wonderful job entertaining our fur babies while we visited Glacier National Park. Wish we lived closer, we’d use her every time!”
“Riley was great with our lab George while we explored the area for the day! She was wonderful to be flexible last minute when we realized I booked the wrong day! Will use again!”
“Shauna was wonderful! And her yard is perfect for dogs-so much nice short grass to run around and play! Highly recommend! Our girl looked like she was having a great time!”
“Shannon is awesome. She watched my 10 week old puppy for a couple hours while we went horse back riding. It was the first time I left my puppy with someone and I was nervous. Shannon sent me a bunch of pictures and updates throughout the stay. I got back a very tired and happy puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup with anyone other than a groomer and Whitney was wonderful!! She had great communication, loving, and was so sweet with our Stella. We were so pleased and wish she lived near us in Florida so we could use her more frequently! Thank you Whitney! Can’t wait to see you next year.”
“We were blessed to find Tiffany with availability just one day prior to us needing her services. We were visiting Glacier National Park and traveled in our 5th wheel RV with our 2 Border Collies. We wanted to take some hikes in the park which no dogs are allowed on trails. Tiffany cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She provided photos with updates throughout the day. She has a fenced in backyard, 2 dogs of her own, and had 2 other dogs in her care. All the dogs got along with one another and our fur babies had a fun day which helped us to have a fun day! I highly recommend Tiffany and would use her again! Thank you for the ❤️ loving care. 😁”
“Mykenzie has an amazing fenced in yard and home. My Bianca is advanced in her years and set in her ways, but was totally comfortable. She had the best time, and I also got some beautiful photos of her as a bonus. Thank you for taking great care of her Mykenzie.”
“My husband and I came to the area to visit Glacier National Park along our cross country roadtrip with our dog, Ozzie. Since dogs are not allowed on any of the trails in Glacier National Park, we looked to find someone to watch our dog for a day while we went hiking. Luckily we found Emily and her sweet family, who were willing to look after him on only a few days notice. They were SO kind and loving to Ozzie and we felt completely at ease having a day at the park knowing he was in great hands. He got to run around with other dogs and had a great time. He was a happy and tired pup at night. I wish we lived closer to Emily and her family so they could look after him again when we need help. :)”
“Kelly is the ?, we will be leaving Doug with her when we come back. Incredibly nice, friendly, and an obvious dog person. She went on a hike with our man and took him swimming, prides herself on making sure your pup is tired when you pick them up. 10/10 recommend”
“Visiting from out of town, it was great to find Kaylea to watch Brutus for the day. Great communication and setup a meet and greet the day before. After picking Brutus up, he had so much fun he was ready for bed once we got back to the hotel. Would highly recommend Kaylea for dog services in the Whitefish/Kalispell area.”
“Our very energetic pup had the most wonderful day with Genevieve and her dog plus one other. Gen was super gracious and communicative and I felt 100% comfortable leaving Guinness in her care. Couldn’t be happier.”
“Sophie is so great! She’s been very flexible with my work schedule and takes excellent care of my pup! She has a big yard for him to hang out in and takes him for long walks! Thank you Sophie!!”
“Alaina was absolutely fantastic with our dog. She is so kind, sent photos and videos, and was an excellent communicator. We would 10/10 recommend Alaina and happily have her watch our dog again!”
“Lisa is super sweet and I could tell right away that my dogs loved her. She was inviting from the moment we went to do a meet & greet. When we got there for the boarding, she made sure to ask questions & listen. During our time away I received daily updates & pictures of my happy boys! Well definitely be booking with her again!”

About: About Me: Hi, I’m Shauna, a dedicated dog lover from the Willow Glen neighborhood in Kalispell! I live on a spacious 1.26 acre of land with a securely fenced backyard, ideal for dogs to run, play, and relax. My 8-year-old Chihuahua and my mom’s 10-year-old Yorkie are my furry sidekicks, and I’ve cared for dogs my entire life. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing home-away-from-home experience for your pup. Inspired by countless hours of César Millan’s Dog Whisperer, I use his positive techniques to encourage balanced behaviors and gently redirect unwanted ones with healthy rules, boundaries and limitations. I’m experienced with dogs’ needs, from managing separation anxiety to maintaining feeding routines to administering medications. My pet-proofed home has no toxic plants, and I offer a cozy space for naps and play. I can send daily photo and video updates to keep you connected. As a background-checked sitter, I prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. Whether it’s kennel-free dog boarding, walking, or house sitting in Kalispell, I’m here to give your dog tailored care. Contact me to discuss your pup’s needs and arrange a meet-and-greet! Services: Boarding (Limited Basis): $80/night (includes lots of supervised playtime outside, feeding and cuddles). Drop-In Visits: $25/30-minute visit (feeding, potty breaks, playtime). House Sitting: $75/night (care in your home for 1 house pet. Cost for additional pets negotiable). Dog Walking: $25/30-minute walk (1–2 dogs). Daycare: $45/day (drop-off care for small/medium/large dogs up to 9 hours. Overtime rate $20/hr.) Experience: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, like Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, German Pointers, English Pointers, German Shepherds, Labs, lovable mutts, cats and even horses, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I apply César Millan’s techniques to maintain calm, balanced behaviors and ensure a happy stay. I’m comfortable with special diets and reinforcing training. Availability: See schedule for availability. Boarding available on weekends and select weekdays (book early for holidays). Drop-ins, walks, and daycare offered Monday–Friday, 6 AM–9 PM. House sitting by request. Safety: My acre of land features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed for safety. I send daily updates and follow your pup’s routine to keep them comfortable. My mom and 23 year old son, both avid dog lovers, live with me and will be here for those short times I have to be away. I'm currently working part time and the calendar will reflect my availability. When I am pet-sitting in my home, my mom and 23 year old son who both live with me, will be available if I need to go to an appointment. As I mentioned in my bio, my 1.26-acre property features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed with no toxic plants. I send daily updates via text and follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and safe, kennel-free for comfort.
About: Hi, I’m John but people call me Jax! I grew up house and pet sitting for my neighbors who owned lots of domesticated and exotic animals! I’ve watched sugar gliders, parrots, macaws, skunks, raccoons, chinchillas, and dogs of all sizes! I’m experienced, reliable, and ready to make sure your pet is taken care of so you don’t have to worry! I currently work full time at fresh life church in downtown Kalispell from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday! My daily schedule is flexible and I am willing to make trips to let pets out, feed, or just check in on my lunch break! I love a night in with a pet so during the evenings and my day off I am more than available and willing to play, go for walks and keep them company! I live in a small apartment and so I only offer in home services. I am available to stay over with your pet or come by and check in a few times a day!
About: In my lifetime I have been surrounded by animals since birth. Chickens, cows, goats, horses, dogs, cats, and sheep. I’ve always had a strong love for animals. I’ve worked in a vet clinic helping my mom as a vet tech. I have done grooming, worked daycare in daycare facilities, and I’ve dabbled in dog training as well. Over my time dog sitting, I have taken care of puppies and senior care dogs and everything in between. I currently work for a lady dog sitting. I don’t get a whole lot of jobs, So I have a lot of free time for other dog sitting jobs. My dogs get fed a cup in the morning and a cup at night but that does not mean that your dog needs to as well. I will follow any schedule you ask me to follow for your furry friend! I’m also a club volleyball coach so it is really tough for me to be consistently available ones season starts because of traveling tournaments and practices. It starts in November and ends in June. So please just keep in mind that a my day might look available on the calendar but it really depends on what times you want my services. I take my dogs to the dog park as often as I can! They mostly get to go on the weekends. I definitely prefer to take care of animals in my own home just because I do have a group of my own animals but I understand pets being more comfortable in their own homes. When I have meet and greets placed at my house the energy from my dogs are definitely heightened because they are so excited to meet an new friend but ones they get the hellos out of the way the house environment after that is very calm and quiet. We currently live in a single wide mobile home with 3 bed rooms although one of them is designated to my cats 😂 yes they have their own bed room, yes they are spoiled. Point being there is plenty of space for separation if needed and nap times.
About: I used to walk dogs in my neighborhood when I was a kid. Now I often take care of my neighbors’ dogs and sometimes board them. I’m an online MBA student, so I’m free to make my own schedule. I work on the weekends and am free most of the week. I love in a house with a fenced yard, have a husky puppy. I allow him on my bed and couch. There’s plenty of space for another dog!
About: Experienced with various breeds. From a Lab-Great Dane mix to tiny Yorkies, I've provided attentive care, exercise, and companionship for a year. Ready to extend this dedication to Rover! I am currently available weekdays from 6 am to 3 pm for walking, feeding, and caring for animals. Ready to accommodate pet needs within this timeframe! Blessed with a massive fenced yard and a nearby dog park, along with scenic paths for walks. Ready to offer pets a fun and safe environment for play and exploration!
“Lauren was great to work with. She sent me multiple updates through out our booking and included pictures of Belle. We arrived home from our trip, to a content dog and you could tell she got a lot of lovin' from Lauren. Lauren was laid back, punctual, trustworthy, and very kind to our furchild. Will book with her again!”
“She was great with both our boys! One who is a very energetic golden retriever and one who is a calm sheepdog. She walked both of them and even offered to feed them before she left since we were out of town. Did a great job!”
About: I currently work at Flathead Pet Emergency as a technician and have been in the field for 3 years. I’ve been taking care of all animals from birds to dogs to turtles since I was little and especially value senior care and mental enrichment for the little ones! I currently work 12 Saturday and Sunday so I’m not available 10am-10pm but anytime before or after. And weekdays anytime except from 4-12 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I live in Bigarm but I work in Kalispell. I believe in fear free relationships. So no forcing my love on them and if they want their space I’ll let them have it! Food is usually the way to an animals heart and I have no problem feeding my way to their love. Having experience in vet med I have no problem giving medications from oral meds to injections or taking care of any other special needs you may have for your pet.
“Jessica responded quickly to my request for dog walking, and was quick to reply to all my messages. She was friendly, professional, and prompt. When she met my shy rescue dog, it was clear that she had a lot of good experience working with dogs and animals, and that she is a genuine dog lover. My dog warmed to her immediately, where she usually needs some time to get to know someone before trusting them completely. Jessica sent me photos daily, and my husband (who works late) said he could tell that our happy dog had gotten some good exercise and a walk when he got home. I would recommend Jessica without hesitation and will likely request her again in the future.”

“Olivia and the whole family were exceptionalllll!!! They have an amazing play space and their dogs are so friendly!! I knew Charlie was in good hands the moment I dropped her off for four days while I was hiking in Glacier NP! I got constant updates and photos and Charlie seemed so happy! She was actually upset I picked her up!! Thank you so much Olivia & fam!!”
“Devonna was awesome! She made Petey feel like he was at home and made us feel super-comfortable with having him pet-sit for the first time. She was extremely flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. We will definitely book again!”
“Morgan always takes the best care of our Lucy. Lucy has unlimited amounts of energy but she always comes home from Morgan’s exhausted! She never wants to come home because she’s having too much fun.”
“Zoie was an absolutely incredible dog sitter. Five stars does not feel like enough. She sent frequent updates throughout their stay, which gave me a great deal of peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive and proactive, reaching out when one of my dogs was whining so we could work together to figure out what he needed. My two dogs have special needs. One is blind and takes daily medication, and the other is deaf. Caring for them requires patience, attention, and flexibility, and Zoie handled it all with kindness and confidence for more than a week. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely cared about their well being. I also made a mistake with my travel plans, and Zoie graciously kept them an extra night without hesitation. When they ran out of food before their new shipment arrived, she made sure they were fed and cared for until it did. One of my dogs even came home with a toy he became completely obsessed with, which was such a thoughtful gesture and a reflection of how much attention she paid to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Zoie consistently went above and beyond. She was not just a five star sitter. She was a ten. I would trust her with my dogs again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Oh my goodness! Neville and Ned had the best time with Vicki and Clint. They were treated so well and loved. Our fur babies love to be with their humans and you could tell they were very happy because when we picked them up they greeted us but then went back for more cuddles with V and C🥰🥰🥰🥰”
“Brycen is a very sweet girl and was great for our pup Ali! He was a happy boy and very clearly, well cared for. She accommodated his medical needs and took him for fun adventures. It was really nice being able to leave him for the weekend knowing he was loved and in good hands!”
“Elizabeth and her adorable family took such great care of my pup! The photos and feedback gave me such peace of mind. I have a high energy Border Collie and they really did their best to match her energy.”
“Naim was very responsive to iur needs for a dog sitter. He reassured us with his own calm dog and he treated Mika as one of his family. He sent photos and videos and overall took great care of our pup. We are very appreciative!”
“Andy took excellent care of our senior pup Bella. He sent us pictures of her stay and updates on how she was doing. This allowed us to fully enjoy our son’s wedding without worrying about how Bella was doing without us. We will definitely rehire Andy the next time we cannot travel with Bella 👍”
“Our trip to Glacier was possible because of Whitney’s great care and perfect location. We knew our dog was safe and happy while we toured the park. Thank you Whitney!”
“My dog Remi suffers from separation anxiety and I was nervous about leaving her alone in a new place with people she had not previously become familiar with, but she instantly felt very comfortable with McKenzie and her pups. Remi ran around in Mckenzie's front yard doing her "happy dance", which she only does when spending time with people she really likes, when it was time for her to leave. McKenzie is a terrific dog sitter and highly recommended.”
“Alyssa is truly incredible! We fully trusted her with the care of our dog for 2 nights and 3 days while we went to explore the east side of Glacier National Park! She continuously sent me photos and updates of how she was doing and our dog loved playing with her dog! I could not recommend Alyssa enough, she is incredibly nice, thoughtful, great at communicating and I feel lucky to have found someone to trust taking care of our dog ☺️”
“Maisie Jane had a great time on her first overnights away from me. I got lots of great photos and communication about how she was doing while she was there. Thank you so so much for taking such good care of my sweet baby dog, Shauna, Deanna and Cody!”
About: I have been working with dogs and training dogs for about 8 years now. All different breeds, sizes and ages! I have experience medicating animals and having structure for those puppies! I would love to get to know your animals and help care for them on those days they need just a little extra exercise or love! I currently work 4 days a week with an hour lunch break so I could easily stop by for a drop in visit or a 30 minute walk! I cater to each pets needs. If they need love and a quick potty break or a walk and exercise! Each animal is different on what they need and I will work towards making sure their ever need is cared for!
“Kaylea took great care of Finn. When I stopped in for a visit he was so happy he didn't even care when I left. Her dog Bennie is a love-She gets along so well with other dogs! Kaylea had a nice big yard. Kaylea spends so much time with your pet. She is so loving & caring. Finn came home like he'd been at a retreat!!”
About: I am a full time Physical Therapist living in Whitefish with my boyfriend and our two dogs. I absolutely love animals. I am active and love the outdoors, so I will be more than happy to run or walk your dog as needed. I've been caring for animals since I was in high school and have had experience with all shapes, sizes, and ages. That being said, I have no problem giving medications, training, etc. I am quick to respond to calls/texts and give updates regularly while owners are away or at work and so forth. My goal is to go through your animals’ daily routine as closely as possible. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to be in contact with you as well as your pets soon! I’m currently working full time as a Physical Therapist and have some flexibility in my schedule to make things as smooth as possible for you and your pup. I work 8-10 hour days and if the location is right, can drop by over lunch for a potty break if needed. I will care for your pet at your home as close as possible to their regular schedule. If a walk morning and night is needed, they’ll get it. If snuggling on the couch is more important, we’ll do it!
