Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dayton
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dayton
“Highly recommend Sherri. She is detailed in her care and genuinely loves animals. Her home is spotless and she has a great location for dog walking. You just won’t find a better pet sitter.”
“Olivia is so kind, flexible, caring, and loving to our dog Hank. When he goes over to Olivia’s house when we’re away on vacation or need day care it truly is his home away from home. Her dogs are amazing and are great pals of Hanks!”
“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.”
“The stay with Devonna went great. We wanted more attention than a standard boarding kennel where our dog would be let out a few times, Devonna provided that. Devonna was flexible in arranging a dropoff time. Our dog, Winston, got along very well with Devonna's dog, Duke, and they played together. Devonna lives in an apartment but there is a green space next door and Devonna walked the dogs there regularly. Winston seemed very comfortable at Devonna's, got extra attention and cuddles that he likes. Devonna sent us an update and picture. We'll use Devonna in the future.”
“Ozzie absolutely loves going to hang out with Sunnee. He runs to her as soon as I open the car door. Sunnee has a very calm and grounded energy. Ozzie never feels anxious about staying with her. Highly recommend.”
“We left our dog, Emmy, with Morgan and her family recently while we spent several days enjoying Glacier Park. We were apprehensive about the idea of leaving Emmy in a home with three other dogs, but it turned out wonderfully! Morgan's dogs were so sweet to Emmy and made her feel at home right away! Emmy did not even care that we left because she was already having fun before we even walked out the door! Morgan was very professional and careful as the dogs were introduced, so we felt very confident that Emmy would be safe and happy during her stay, and she was! She had a great time and got plenty of exercise! She was loved and spoiled as well! So, we highly recommend Morgan! You can be sure your dog will be happy and very well cared for while in Morgan's home!”
“Shannon took great care of our sweet senior dog while we were away for a week. Our dog was very happy and well cared for In her home and we are so happy to have found such a wonderful pet sitter.”
“Brycen was so great about sending photos throughout the day, and Taz didn't want to leave when it was time for us to pick him up. The backyard and doggie door were awesome. We'll definitely board again with Brycen!”
“I am so thrilled that I met Wilson and Kali. Super friendly and extremely competent with dogs, Wilson and Kali exceeded my hopeful expectations. I don't leave Winston often and he had the best play day ever! We are looking forward to his extended stay next week!”
“Bear had a wonderful time with Elisabeth! She sent daily updates and pictures, and I could tell Bear was happy and well taken care of in each photo :) Would 100% send Bear to her again!”
“Arrow had a wonderful time with Sharmaine and Monique! They were great and very considerate. Lots of playtime and walks and all sorts of attention. Would 💯 recommend!”
“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🥰🥰🥰🥰”
“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!”
“Daniel was wonderful! Super communicative and took great care of my pup while I was out of town. He sent pictures every day of their outings and I could tell my dog was having a blast. I definitely plan to use Daniel again!”
“Tiffany was A++++! What a warm lovely person. She sent great photos, took our dog for multiple walks, a visit to a dog park and more. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!”

“Jenny came to meet Khloe before our booking and I could tell Khloe loved her. Jenny was definitely comfortable with dogs. She did drop in care of Khloe for two days and everything went perfectly. She sent me videos and photos and messages and I couldn't have asked for things to work any better. Definitely recommend 100%.”
“Karla was amazing! Followed all directions, very quick to respond in the chat, asked all the important questions, and made sure my 4 babies were cared for on the 4th of July (which is a very scary day for puppies.) I will absolutely be booking with Karla again!”
“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.”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for my cat Gimli. She sent me photo (and funny video) updates about Gimli almost every day after asking if I want to receive frequent updates. 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!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dayton
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.

“Sunnee and her beautiful property were a good fit for our dogs! They were able to be outside, which they prefer. Sunnee was easy to communicate with, and the dogs were very happy when we returned to pick them up!”
“Amazing sitter! Would highly recommend. She took Goose on multiple hikes and sent pictures to keep me updated. Excellent care and communication. Will definitely be booking in the future!”
“Vicki was great! She was very communicative and sent photos while our dog was there for daycare. I can tell Arrow had such a fun day playing with Hank. Will definitely use Vicki again.”
“Thanks to Morgan for her flexibility, knowledge, and attention to detail with the special needs of my brand new puppy, and my irregular work hours! Thanks to her kiddo for giving her so much love. Though the house and yard could benefit from a touch up to make things feel a little cleaner and brighter, it wasn’t really “messy or dirty,” as the River app puts it. I was more than satisfied with the stay, and may call back later for info about training or classes. Much appreciation for everything.”
“Shauna was the best sitter we could’ve asked for! It was our first time using a pet sitter and she immediately put all of our worries aside! Shauna was quick to communicate leading up to the day and sent updates and pictures all throughout our stay. Her large yard is fenced in, grassy, clean, and has plenty of shade. Our dogs seemed like they had a great time and got along great with her dogs. I couldn’t recommend Shauna enough! She was even very flexible with extending the day when we got held up in Glacier due to delayed shuttles. I will definitely go back to Shauna next time I’m in the area!”
“Willow had a fantastic time! Olivia was awesome, so kind! She sent pics as the day progresses. She was very understanding of our time schedule. We would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Immediately upon meeting Madison I knew I made a great sitter choice for my pup, Totem. She was so kind and showed me around her yard and home while the dogs introduced themselves. I felt so comfortable leaving Totem with her for the day and she sent plenty of photo updates! Totem was so happy and slept the whole drive home. Thanks Madison!”
“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!”

I am unable to have animals in my apartment but I can dog sit in town or do drop ins! I love going for walks or runs or just being outside with animals! I am a full time college student. Mondays and Tuesdays I am at school all day but the rest of the week I have lots of free time to spend with animals! At school I live in an apartment with my roommates two cats! When I have breaks from school I go home with my parents who have a lab named Rawls! When I am home I love taking him for walks and training him because he is still a pup!

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.

I am also trained in administering subcutaneous fluids and medications.
“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.”

“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!”
About: I think everyone should have access to a reliable pet sitter or care taker. Things happen, we love our dogs no matter what. I'd like to be that reliable person to help even in tight pinches. I currently work weekends only, as I'm attempting to save more for professional dog training certification. I do have a dog myself that is available for several reasons if needed, that being said, any owners preferences will always be prioritized. I am here to help you, on your conditions for your dog. That is priority to me. I do have a mixed large breed of my own, she is capable of allowing social visits if thats what owners prefer. However, my dog is never required to be there. I will absolutely prioritize your pets safety and comfort over anything else.
