Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gardiner

About: Ive worked with all different kinds of dogs at a variety of different kennels. My last job was overseeing a kennel with about 50 working dogs. Currently taking online classes to learn more about behavior modification/ rehabilitation. I currently work at a kennel and train dogs full time in Paradise Valley so your dog would have around the clock care. Every dog gets out multiple times a day and in the summer we will do group hikes and swimming in the river Every dog gets plenty of time to be outside and in the summer we will do hikes and swimming in the river. I understand each dog can have different needs and I will work to fulfill them in every way!

About: I have been a dog lover, my whole life. My daughter, Maggie is actually named after my first dog! We have a three year-old great Dane mix that loves having friends over! If your dog would not love that we also have an outdoor kennel we offer in our home, one on one dog sitting and outdoor kennel stays in the front pasture. Our five horses are on site. We are five minutes from Gardiner at the north entrance to Yellowstone. The next closest kennel is 40 minutes north of us one way. Our property houses for vacation cabin rentals- LittleTrailCreekCabins. I am on site pretty much every day. I may be doing yard work or cleaning one of our vacation rentals. I occasionally will drive to Gardiner or Livingston. We have the outdoor kennel in the front pasture. It has a partial roof and fenced in area. We also have dog treats inside the garage or if your pop would like they are welcome to hang out with me and my dog for the day which could include doing yardwork, going for a walk, going for a ride in the car, or at one of our vacation cabins. I am a retired nurse of 25 years.

“Mike was the perfect match for our 4 month old puppy. He took her into town for walks since our campground didn't have much "green space". Tess was super happy when we returned home each day. I'm sure she'll be wanting us to leave her "alone" again soon.”

About: I'm a traveling registered nurse who is always looking for my next adventure. Working in the Emergency Department for 20+ years has enabled me to be calm & handle whatever situation comes my way. Somehow, I have accidentally become the pet sitter for many of my family members, friends, and their family members. I don't currently have a pet but I love to get animal snuggles when I can. I figured it's time to provide pet sitting to those in the community while getting in some animal love at the same time. I enjoy hiking, floating rivers/springs, national parks, and generally being in nature. I work seasonal & part-time nursing jobs that allow me flexibility to care for your pets. I'm a snowbird that spends winters in the south & summers in the north. I will follow your pet care instructions so that your animals can continue their routine in an environment familiar to them. I am comfortable with administering medications if needed.

“I love that Karen responded to our need quickly. She's so comfortable to be around, and there is no question of her integrity. Grateful for the help we were given at the last minute! It's the perfect match. :)”

About: I will keep your dog tired & happy! I am a very active, outdoorsy, self employed professional with a flexible schedule and dedicated personal time to playing outside and pursuing time spent outdoors every day. I can guarantee that when your pet spends time with me they will have a lot of adventures and attention! Because of my active lifestyle, I am great paired with active and excited doggos. However, I also have a huge heart for old dogs. I recently lost my 16-year-old girl Lola, back in December, and spending time with dogs has been incredibly healing for me. Their companionship lifts my mood in such a meaningful way. I’d be honored to care for them and give them plenty of love and outdoor time! I am a freelance photographer with a very flexible schedule. I work from home alot and your pet will have a lot of company and attention when under my care. I am also very active and hike, run, XC ski, tour or mountain bike every single day. I'd love to have some energetic and excited doggos join me on these adventures because life is better with dogs! I am happy to come to your home or keep your dog company at my home while I work -wherever your pet is most comfortable and happy!

“Karen is an amazing walker for our boy. We trust her & appreciate the love she gives Jupiter! She checks in regularly to make sure our walking schedule is up to date & always gives us a heads up when she plans to be out of town. Highly recommend her for pup care!”
