Personalized care for your dog or cat - Darby

“Lynn was truly amazing with my pup, we ran into a couple bumps in the road and she handled it in an efficient understanding manner while still sending pictures and communicating the whole time. I felt at peace and unworried about leaving my pup with her! I would truly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter even hyper puppies! Thank you Lynn!!!”

About: I grew up always surrounded by pets, especially dogs. They’ve always had a special place in my heart. As a young adult, I worked with a boarding and grooming kennel. I learned how to handle different types of dog personalities and keep them happy. Now I’m a proud dog mom myself and spend a large amount of my time with my girl and volunteering at the humane society. I do have a full time job, but always have evening hours, so I am always free in the mornings for walks, potty breaks and check-ins. I have a Pomeranian that I got when she was 8 weeks old and she is my absolute baby. I put a lot of work into properly training her to make sure she didn’t have any bad habits. With that said she is still spoiled on the daily

“Lynn and her family were easy to work with and took great care of our puppy. She kept us up to date with his activity and attitude, and reassured us he was doing great. Would highly recommend.”

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!

“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…”

About: I volunteer at the humane society and spend time with the cats often! I have also taken care of friends, family and neighbors cats while they are on vacation.

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 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.

“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!”

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!

“Victoria is the best! Very friendly and Darby always gets really excited to see her. Also is super flexible to work with my changing schedule:)”

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!

“Thank you Kaleigh. Jax thoroughly enjoyed his walks with you. I really appreciate your help!!!”

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.
