“Elizabeth was amazing! My dog stayed at her home, was loved like family, and I came back to the happiest pup. As a first-time sitter user, it was completely stress-free and put my mind at ease.”
“So glad I found Olivia to watch our dog while we were gone! Great at communicating and her yard is so great for dogs to run and play safely! My dog came home happy and tired from having so much fun playing! We already rebooked for a future trip and will book more in the future if needed!”
“Morgan did an amazing job watching our 2 large dogs (Great Pyrenees and Labrador Retriever) for over a week and that is no easy task! She sent picture updates and both dogs came home happy & healthy! We will definitely use Morgan to watch our dogs again in the future.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Andy and Flo took great care of our girls. Our girls are seniors, have specific needs and health problems, and anxiety. I was really worried about finding the right person to watch over them, and they did a great job. All of the needs, medicines, and special instructions did not worry them, they cared about and stuck to the instructions to help our girls feel comfortable, stay in their schedules, and make sure there were no health incidents. When we picked them up, they clearly had been comfortable, were well rested, and really liked Andy and Flo!”
About: I grew up in Montana and have always loved the small-town way of life. My passion for animals started when I rescued my first dog at 15, and he now lives on through his two siblings. Caring for animals has been something I’ve always enjoyed, and I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own. I have worked at a local dog boarding and daycare facility for the past four years, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups, senior dogs, or those needing a little extra patience, I’m well-versed in providing personalized care to ensure every dog feels safe and loved. I work full time Monday thru Friday 7:00 AM - 3:00PM with weekends off! I can be flexible with running home during the day for a potty break. Weekends are spent at home or doing a fun outdoor activity! At home, all dogs are treated like family! I live in an apartment complex with three fully fenced, off-leash dog areas, giving pups plenty of space to play and exercise. For dogs staying in my home, they must be dog and cat friendly, as I have my own pets. If I’m caring for your pup in your home, I always follow their normal routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible.
“Lucy was terrific taking care of our 2 Havanese. She communicated on a regular basis and sent lots of photos. Would definitely use her services again and highly recommend.”
“Whitney did a great job and obviously cares about and loves dogs. Jasper was so tired from playing with other dogs and happy. Great communication fast respond times and sent adorable pictures. I would strongly recommend working with Whitney.”
“Brycen was great! We have a 1.5 year old chocolate lab with a lot of energy. We received updates about how our puppy was doing. She also seemed happy when we went to pick her up. Would recommend Brycen!”
“My first experience w/ Shauna (and family) was an extremely kind and caring person and care-giver for my pup. Great spot with a large clean fenced in yard. She was very thoughtful on her approach to introducing my dog with her family, dogs and space. She was very flexible with my travel and was a wonderful communicator during my dog's stay with her. I could not be happier with the care she provide and would not hesitate at all to use her care again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, big and small, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m the go-to sitter for friends because I genuinely love being around animals and put a lot of care into making sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable. During my psychology degree, I spent a year and a half studying Animal-Assisted Interventions, focusing on animal behavior, emotional attunement, human-animal connection, and therapeutic support work. My own dog is a huge part of my life — she travels around the country with me and goes almost everywhere by my side. I personally trained her with therapy/service dog foundations, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, structure, and reading a dog’s needs and body language I'm fortunate that my days are centered around my dog, Bennie. I get up, let her out right away, then prepare her breakfast, and she eats while we start the morning together outside. I’m home most of the time and spend my days in the yard gardening, doing yard work, or working on projects around the property, so she’s with me and supervised throughout the day. I also always make sure there’s some form of engagement or mental stimulation so dogs are never bored or over-energized, whether that’s training, enrichment activities, or interactive play. If I need to run errands, Bennie usually comes with me and stays in the car if the weather is safe. If it’s too warm, she stays home in her calm, familiar environment instead. I’m typically only gone for short errands and make a point of never leaving her alone for long. When we’re not at home, we’re usually outside doing something active- swimming at the lake, going on hikes, going for runs, or taking long walks. Our lifestyle is very outdoors-oriented, and she’s included in almost everything I do Bennie is always at the top of my mind, and safety is my number one priority. I have a fully fenced, dog-proof yard with a secure gate that is always kept closed. I also have cameras on the property to monitor for wildlife or anything unsafe outside. Inside the home, I use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals. I’m very mindful of anything dogs could be sensitive to, including what they’re exposed to, what they play with, and what they’re given. I only use safe toys and bones that are appropriate and supervised. Overall, I focus on creating a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax, explore, and feel completely safe while still having structure and supervision
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!
“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!”
“Becky and her family took excellent care of Hank. She shared frequent updates and kept us posted on how he was doing. If we come back to Whitefish anytime soon, we know who we're calling! Thanks!”

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.

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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ferndale
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.
“Morgan was the perfect doggy daycare for us while we went to explore the nearby national park. Our dogs were well cared for and happy during the meet and greet and the daycare day. We loved that we got photos of them, they had a fenced in yard, were welcome to roam the house, and had other dogs to spend the day with. All of these details made them so much more comfortable than they would have been in a traditional kennel facility. This is exactly what we look for when we need to board our dogs. Thanks again Morgan!”
“First time leaving Luna with someone on rover, definitely recommend and trust. Super responsive to my text, very helpful last minute. She was able to accommodate picking up my baby early for me to enjoy my day. Received reports when I was away. Definitely trust this app because she made it very smooth. Thank you”
“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!”
“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.”
“If it was possible to rate higher than 5 stars, I would. Shannon and her family are absolutely wonderful with our dogs and I don’t worry about a thing when I leave them. They come home happy and completely tuckered out!”
“Kelly was timely with her responses to our questions prior to having our dog Frankie spend the day with her. When we arrived she let us know her plan for the day which included hiking to the river. Although we explained that he'd never had the opportunity to swim, he clearly loved the water. He ran right in without hesitation. Kelly sent us pictures of Frankie to keep us up to date. We wouldn't hesitate to have Frankie spend the day with Kelly again.”
“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. :)”
“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.”
About: I've had pets my whole life and have taken care of them from an early age. I love all animals and believe they deserve a comforting experience if their owner is gone. I am a mom of 2 school aged kids. I am home daily to care for my animals and others. I'm also very active and will welcome any walk or run for your dog. I treat other pets as my own. We are outside a lot enjoying our 5 acres, and access to open space. Exercise is my staple for a happy dog!
“Sue watched our pups while we were at the music festival and we were so thrilled to have found her. Sue’s personality is so chill and positive and our dogs immediately recognized that. She has a fenced backyard that is doggie heaven and a huge shade tree for the pups to nap in. She was flexible with our pick up and drop off times, even when we picked them up super late at night. Knowing our dogs were safe and taken care of was worth every penny. It’s hard to find a sitter in whitefish, let alone one that is so close to downtown. Thank you Sue for all you did for us while we were in town!”
“Our dog stayed with Sophie for the day while we went to Glacier National Park. Everything worked out perfectly. Our dog was well taken care of in their home with a large fenced back yard. Our dog came back home happy and tired from a very fun day. We would certainly have her watch our dog anytime.”
About: During the summer, I have pretty open flexibility! I am an educator and have the summers off to help with all of your pet care service needs! I am passionate about loving and caring for pets. As somebody who loves to travel, I know how stressful it can be to find a reliable sitter to watch your furbabies. I’ve taken care of dogs and pets for the last 15+ years. I grew up sitting, walking, and loving pets with care. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, as well as cats of all ages. I am comfortable administering meds and adhering to specific schedules and routines. Please contact me with any specific questions and I would be happy to accommodate accordingly. From June through the end of August, my daily schedule is flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. With my own dog, we get in at least 1-2 walks per day with longer walks on the weekends, and I would love to create a schedule with your dog for consistent exercise as well! A tired dog is a happy dog! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog of my own to help make your dog feel comfortable. I am able to crate your dog, if that is something you’re interested in.
About: I’m a conservative and believe in traditional Christian values. 🇺🇸🙏🏽 I’m working towards going off grid and love to chat with others about how to make that happen and learning the skills to achieve that. Right now I tutor, teach small classes to homeschooling families / groups and babysit. I also create digital content. My goal is to at some point work remotely 90% of the time while teaching STEM classes or homeschooling classes occasionally in-person. I did petcare in college. I started taking it more seriously as a way to earn income in 2018. I became very busy often booked out continuously for months at a time the last few years. I love petcare, especially dogs, and feel blessed to be part of this industry. Let’s meet and see if I’m a good match for your family! 🐕🦺🐾 My weekly schedule: Mon 10:30-3:30 pm (tutor) 4-8 pm (babysit, flexible on days) Tu 10:30-1 pm (teach) Wed 9-5 pm (babysit) Th 10:30-12:30 pm (tutor) 4-8 pm (babysit, flexible on days) Fri 9-5 pm (babysit) Sat 9-1 pm (babysit, flexible on times) Sun 8-2 pm (church, flexible) ** My classes and tutoring sessions currently varies based on traveling of my clients. As I take on more clients Tuesday’s schedule may change but I will update as needed. ** If you need someone around more on my busier days, an option to consider is both my boyfriend and I could petsit together. He is often home during the times I am not so between the two of us, we could provide more time with your pets for the same price. He's also great with pets, especially large dogs and cats (!) while my specialty is little ones. Don't get me wrong. I love all types of dogs, but I especially adore those chihuahuas! I focus on building a trusting relationship with whatever pet I am watching. It’s important that he / she trust me and that is created through talking to the animal, treats, affection / petting and then leaving the animal alone to adjust to a new person and come to me in his / her own time. I find it very fulfilling to get an anxious dog to “smile” or come out of his / her shell!
“Had a wonderful experience with Alaina! She was willing to do a meet and greet with her dogs ahead of time so I’d feel comfortable leaving my pup with them while we spent the days in the park. She took such good care of Maggie, taking her on multiple walks and letting her play at the beach. My dog came home happy and tired, and was excited to be dropped off the next morning. Alaina clearly loves dogs, and treated my pup like one of her own. Such peace of mind to have a safe, fun place for your pet to be while we explored Glacier. I would absolutely work with Alaina 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: 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.

I also can stop by during the day if needed as I have a flexible job. I will take full care of your pet in your home by making sure they are fed, playing with them and making sure they are safe.
About: I have experience with dogs from the puppy stage to senior stage. I have had big and little dogs. In my personal opinion I believe our animals deserve to have a good life too. I am currently an online college student so I am available most days. I try not to work as much on weekends but I am willing to if you need be. I walk dogs and play with them. I am not a certified dog trainer but I have had my fair share of teaching my childhood dogs tricks. I would care for your animals as much as they need.
“Lauren was great to work with. She sent me multiple updates through out our booking and included pictures of Belle.

Will book with her again!”

We are outside a lot enjoying our 5 acres, and access to open space. Exercise is my staple for a happy dog!

About: I grew up taking care of many pets. I had multiple large dogs that I grew up taking care of, as well as family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats as well! Taking care of these pets consisted of walking, feeding, bathing, and brushing. I’m currently going to school Monday-Thursday from 9:00 am-5:00 pm. I am available to tend to your pet in the mornings, on my lunch break if needed, and in the evenings. My schedule is pretty flexible for the most part so I can accommodate to your pets needs! I live in a house with a fenced in backyard and plenty of yard to roam and play. Our dog loves to spend hours back there playing with her toys, but we make sure to check on her every so often. If you are more comfortable with your pets going out on a leash, I can accommodate that as well.

“Elizabeth was amazing! My dog stayed at her home, was loved like family, and I came back to the happiest pup. As a first-time sitter user, it was completely stress-free and put my mind at ease.”
“So glad I found Olivia to watch our dog while we were gone! Great at communicating and her yard is so great for dogs to run and play safely! My dog came home happy and tired from having so much fun playing! We already rebooked for a future trip and will book more in the future if needed!”
“Morgan did an amazing job watching our 2 large dogs (Great Pyrenees and Labrador Retriever) for over a week and that is no easy task! She sent picture updates and both dogs came home happy & healthy! We will definitely use Morgan to watch our dogs again in the future.”
“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.”
“Andy and Flo took great care of our girls. Our girls are seniors, have specific needs and health problems, and anxiety. I was really worried about finding the right person to watch over them, and they did a great job. All of the needs, medicines, and special instructions did not worry them, they cared about and stuck to the instructions to help our girls feel comfortable, stay in their schedules, and make sure there were no health incidents. When we picked them up, they clearly had been comfortable, were well rested, and really liked Andy and Flo!”
About: I grew up in Montana and have always loved the small-town way of life. My passion for animals started when I rescued my first dog at 15, and he now lives on through his two siblings. Caring for animals has been something I’ve always enjoyed, and I take pride in treating every pet as if they were my own. I have worked at a local dog boarding and daycare facility for the past four years, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and special needs. Whether it’s high-energy pups, senior dogs, or those needing a little extra patience, I’m well-versed in providing personalized care to ensure every dog feels safe and loved. I work full time Monday thru Friday 7:00 AM - 3:00PM with weekends off! I can be flexible with running home during the day for a potty break. Weekends are spent at home or doing a fun outdoor activity! At home, all dogs are treated like family! I live in an apartment complex with three fully fenced, off-leash dog areas, giving pups plenty of space to play and exercise. For dogs staying in my home, they must be dog and cat friendly, as I have my own pets. If I’m caring for your pup in your home, I always follow their normal routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible.
“Lucy was terrific taking care of our 2 Havanese. She communicated on a regular basis and sent lots of photos. Would definitely use her services again and highly recommend.”
“Whitney did a great job and obviously cares about and loves dogs. Jasper was so tired from playing with other dogs and happy. Great communication fast respond times and sent adorable pictures. I would strongly recommend working with Whitney.”
“Brycen was great! We have a 1.5 year old chocolate lab with a lot of energy. We received updates about how our puppy was doing. She also seemed happy when we went to pick her up. Would recommend Brycen!”
“My first experience w/ Shauna (and family) was an extremely kind and caring person and care-giver for my pup. Great spot with a large clean fenced in yard. She was very thoughtful on her approach to introducing my dog with her family, dogs and space. She was very flexible with my travel and was a wonderful communicator during my dog's stay with her. I could not be happier with the care she provide and would not hesitate at all to use her care again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, big and small, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m the go-to sitter for friends because I genuinely love being around animals and put a lot of care into making sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable. During my psychology degree, I spent a year and a half studying Animal-Assisted Interventions, focusing on animal behavior, emotional attunement, human-animal connection, and therapeutic support work. My own dog is a huge part of my life — she travels around the country with me and goes almost everywhere by my side. I personally trained her with therapy/service dog foundations, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, structure, and reading a dog’s needs and body language I'm fortunate that my days are centered around my dog, Bennie. I get up, let her out right away, then prepare her breakfast, and she eats while we start the morning together outside. I’m home most of the time and spend my days in the yard gardening, doing yard work, or working on projects around the property, so she’s with me and supervised throughout the day. I also always make sure there’s some form of engagement or mental stimulation so dogs are never bored or over-energized, whether that’s training, enrichment activities, or interactive play. If I need to run errands, Bennie usually comes with me and stays in the car if the weather is safe. If it’s too warm, she stays home in her calm, familiar environment instead. I’m typically only gone for short errands and make a point of never leaving her alone for long. When we’re not at home, we’re usually outside doing something active- swimming at the lake, going on hikes, going for runs, or taking long walks. Our lifestyle is very outdoors-oriented, and she’s included in almost everything I do Bennie is always at the top of my mind, and safety is my number one priority. I have a fully fenced, dog-proof yard with a secure gate that is always kept closed. I also have cameras on the property to monitor for wildlife or anything unsafe outside. Inside the home, I use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals. I’m very mindful of anything dogs could be sensitive to, including what they’re exposed to, what they play with, and what they’re given. I only use safe toys and bones that are appropriate and supervised. Overall, I focus on creating a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax, explore, and feel completely safe while still having structure and supervision
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!
“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!”
“Becky and her family took excellent care of Hank. She shared frequent updates and kept us posted on how he was doing. If we come back to Whitefish anytime soon, we know who we're calling! Thanks!”
