Personalized care for your dog or cat - Homestake

“Maryjane was wonderful for Hatchet! She walked him a bunch, sent me pictures and updates throughout the days. We would absolutely use her again!”

About: 10+ years of veterinary medicine experience across 3 states - Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, birds, livestock, you name it. I am flexible schedule-wise, with plenty of endurance for multiple walks/arrangements a day and patience for chaos. I've managed to turn my passion and love for animals into a job that makes both of our lives easier! I am currently working part time, and looking to make new furry friends and a little extra cash. My schedule is pretty flexible and transportation is reliable. Open to weekly visits or as needed for travel/occasions. I live in a home with a fenced yard in Butte. Right now there are 2 dogs and a cat in the residence. Unless otherwise agreed upon, I will never share a client’s personal info, photos of their pet, and will always make sure to lock up safe and sound when leaving a client’s residence.

“Brooklyn has a way with dogs. Our younger one who is cautious when first meeting pretty much anyone, loved Brooklyn the moment she came in the door. Nice to see! :)”

“Lisa is an amazing pet sitter! She is consciencous, caring, and responsible! Lisa built a great relationship with Erik and he is a very shy, particular kitty. She was also extremely flexible. I would rehire Lisa in a minute and recommend her highly for all your pet sitting needs!”

“Maryjane was great! Very positive and upbeat attitude. She sent pics and updates throughout the day. She walked them and took them to the dog park to play. My boys had such a good day and played so much that they slept in the car all the way home (3 hr drive). I will definately contact Maryjane next time I have them when working in Butte.”

“Maryjane was absolutely incredible with Charley! From the moment she met him, her calm, confident energy instantly put him at ease. Charley can be a bit strong on the leash at first, but Maryjane handled him like a pro and clearly knew how to connect with dogs. She took him on some beautiful walks through Butte’s trails, and I could tell he got the exercise, mental stimulation, and affection he craves. I loved the updates and photos—Charley looked like he was having the time of his life. Tail wagging, ears perked, full of that goofy dog smile he only gets when he’s with someone he really likes. Maryjane is thoughtful, punctual, and has a natural way with animals. I would absolutely trust her with Charley again anytime. If you’re in Butte and need a reliable, caring dog walker, don’t hesitate to book her! —Craig C. & Charley 🐾”

About: I've owned pets as long as I can remember and have actively cared for my own since I was 11 years old. At 13, I began house sitting and pet sitting for family and close friends. Around age 20, I worked as a pet care assistant for a major pet retail store for 2 years. After acquiring a Bachelor's of Science in Management and a short switch to retail, I decided I needed to return to my passion. I worked as the sole closing receptionist for a 24hr hybrid emergency/ general practice animal clinic. After almost 4 years of being the first point of contact for many animal emergencies, I decided I wanted to help pets in a different way by becoming a veterinary assistant. I was fortunate enough to find a nonprofit organization that fostered my expansion of veterinary knowledge and animal handling skills for the past 3 years. My current goal is to use this knowledge to help care for local pets and give owners peace of mind while they are away. Animals I've cared for: Dogs (XS-2X), cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, snakes, turtles, tortoises, fish... I currently work part-time at a human healthcare facility, so I will make sure your needs and my availability coincide before agreeing to care for your pet. I will respect your schedule and rules when it comes to your pet and home. I do my best to understand the individual needs of each pet I care for and address them as best as possible in their owners' absence.

“Lisa saved the day when she took our last minute request. Very much appreciated!”
