“Megan and Matt were friendly and very accommodating. Our dog enjoyed having canine buddies and a loving family to hang with while we were away.”
“Our host was wonderful with koda bear, my German Shepherd. They took him on walks and even on a hike, which he absolutely loved. It was clear that koda bear was well cared for and had a great time during his stay. I appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. He came home happy and tired from all the fun. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Emma is a true gem…my only regret is not finding her sooner…the day before our first stay, my dog Mellow received a diagnosis of a fast acting terminal cancer…I was worried about leaving him but I needed to fly out of state due to a death in my family…she was super sensitive, flexible when my plans changed slightly, communicative and attended to delivering his newly prescribed meds…she did everything to make his stay with her and my concerns as comfortable as possible... he loved the added benefit of getting to sleep on her bed. Thank you Emma for making his first and last time with you wonderful.”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog. Stella came home happy, tired and with as little anxiety as I’ve ever seen her have after a sitter experience. I would give ten stars if that was an option!”
“Our pup, Chaco, was in amazing hands! She loved her walks, swims in the river, playtime with her best dog friend Juniper, and extra cuddles from the kids. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the day. It made our days while being away. We also had a travel delay and Gabrielle was able to host our pup for another day. It was extremely helpful. Definitely love the family for taking amazing care of our pup! 💕🐾”
“We feel completely at ease leaving our dog with Kenny and his family. We know she’ll be in great hands. We love the photo updates and the stories of how much Kenny’s kids love our dog.”
“Kerry and her family and truly so wonderful. They cared for my pup as if it were their own. Indah had a lovely time! Kerry made sure to keep me updated with photos and texts which were very much appreciated. Thanks so much Kerry!”
“Teresa's home was a good place for Nessie, my husky, to stay. She has a nice backyard with tall fences to keep her contained, and our dogs did fine when greeting. Teresa sent photos which is always nice to see. I would use her again.”
“Had a great experience with Nicole! She was friendly and made me feel comfortable leaving my young border collie with her over the weekend! She was looking after another dog as well and they both became best friends while I was away! She has a nice backyard for the dogs, and took them on some long walks. Nicole sent updates of Dusty so I was able to feel at ease while away from him, and he was happy to see me when I returned, thanks Nicole!”
“Tlhis was my first time leaving my Aussie Steel with a dog sitter. He's with me almost 24/7 because of my job. I'm sure I had a much harder time than he did! Ben told me about some of his regulars that he watches, and that they would be coming when Steel wad there. From the videos that Ben sent to me and the updates, I could see Steel was in good company and doing great!! He got lots of outside time, ate well and was completely worn out from a hike when I picked him up! :) I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ben”
“Carol was great! My dog was very happy after her stay! Carol was a great communicator and I knew she took amazing care of my dog when I was away. I highly recommend Carol and will be using her in the future!”
“Friendly and responsive care. Our pup had a great time hanging with Bryan and Ron, and excellent photo and video updates throughout the weekend left us feeling good as well.”
“What a quality feeling when you’re dog is in the hands of someone like Barbara. In a world where everything seems to be going haywire, knowing your dog is safe when you leave town is the best.”
“Our older dog was well taken care of by Ellen. We received cute updates and quick communication. Would be happy to have her look after our Sidney again and Sidney would be happy to see her!”
“Addie took such great care of our boy fisher! We got lots of pictures of adventures and walks, which clearly showed that he was having a good time. She was also very understanding when we had an unexpected flight delay the last day of our trip. Would highly recommend!”
“Dani is sweet! My Soka loves visiting her. She gets plenty of exercise in walks and lots of nurturing snuggle time. Dani is great with communication and flexibility. Will continue to use when possible”
“Loved Delaney she was absolutely wonderful. She took amazing care of Eddy. Im extremely happy with her and bullet and I plan on having her care for Eddy again”
“Nickolas kept us updated throughout Penny’s stay and she seemed so happy to have a great yard to roam around! His dog Margie is also just the sweetest. I would absolutely recommend him if you are looking for a sitter in Missoula!”
“Leah was fantastic with my dog. They were attentive, reliable, and followed all care instructions perfectly. She took my dog out on lots of hikes to stay active. Communication was excellent throughout with lots of photo updates. She even got my dog a small stuffed animal as a holiday present. Would book again.”

About: I have raised and cared for a variety of animals my entire life including dogs and cats. I am certified in basic veterinary care and emergency animal (and human) medicine. I am comfortable with any age of pet ranging from an energetic youngster to a high care senior. I look forward to meeting your fuzzy companion!
About: As a kid, I always wanted a cat. My grandparents had farm cats who would occasionally sneak out and let me pet them, but it wasn’t until I was an adult that I got my own little girl. I’ve been a cat dad ever since, with three of my own. I have also cat-sit for several friends of mine, and take it as a personal challenge to get each and every one to love me.
About: Ive got 4 pups of my own and 2 step pups of all ages and sizes. We are vwry active and love getting out of the house, so I'd love to give that opportunity to other pups as well! We love going on daily walks/runs and trail walks/rucks. All my dogs are high energy and rather strong, so no dog is to much to handle here! If your pup wants to take it slow and sniff around or pick up the pace and go for a run, I'm down for it all! I'm currently attending school at UM for Wildlife Biology and looking to work around my school hours helping others with their pets if possible! Im available every weekday prior to 9:30am, and anytime after 1pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As well as anytime on the weekend! I always have poop bags and a waistbelt that can have a pup hooked up to it if needed. I also carry a pack with multiple camelbaks of water and cooling towels on hot days if we're going for a longer walk. Lastly, I bring a first aid kit and extra booties with whenever we go on trails as well as water in my pack and in the car.
“Holly did a great job taking care of my older cat and my house! She stayed with Myron for an extended house sit, and she kept me updated with everything that was going on and I could tell Myron was well taken care of when I got home. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed! I’d recommend Holly to anyone 😊”
About: I have cared for many types of dogs, big to small, young to old. One of my more recent clients had a big Labradoodle, who was a rescue and very skittish. I got along with Zooey right away, and we had some fun walks and runs. I love playing catch and tug-war with dogs as well. I myself am very energetic so I know how good it feels to get out in the fresh air and stretch your legs. I love dogs and cats, they are so full of love and I can't help but love them back. Since I have cared for many pets I know how to read them and give them space, pets and food when they need it. I have a cat of my own and know all the silly ways cats communicate.
About: I’ve been studying animal behavior for two years, and I’m passionate about loving and caring for pets as if they were my own. I have a service dog named Buddy, who is incredibly affectionate and enjoys making friends with animals. I’m committed to teaching well-being behaviors in my home to ensure the safety and comfort of my pets. Additionally, I volunteer at shelters to assist in finding and supporting suitable placements for enrichment activities. I hold certifications in pet first aid and dog training, which further enhance my expertise in caring for animals. I am available to schedule clients throughout the week and can work with flexible timing to fit appointments into my day. Since I work part-time, I have availability seven days a week, which allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules. To ensure smooth planning and avoid any last-minute changes, I kindly request a confirmation of all appointments by 2:00 PM the day prior. I will be alone at home so visits will be solo. I’m using enrichment tools and techniques to keep your pet happy and healthy. I have a fenced yard with everything your pet needs. There are plenty of spots for them to relax and play. I’ll be watching over your pets, and I use Kongs, treats, and toys to ensure their safety and well-being. I also do health checks and training to keep them in top shape.
About: I really enjoy hanging out with dogs and cats whether it's playing fetch or giving them a good tummy rub and i will make sure they feel loved while the ones they love are gone! I am currently just doing work around the house with a small landscaping biz on the side but i'm pretty much always available to be with your animal! I like to be outside with my pets but depending on the property I could not have that option, nonetheless they will have my attention and care.
“Nickolas took excellent care of my cat and provided excellent communication. He took care of Gir like his own and enjoyed the silly photos Id get. Thank you so much!!”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for them since I was a kid. Growing up, our family had six outdoor cats and two indoor cats, each with their own unique personalities. Living with so many cats taught me how to recognize their different needs, respect their boundaries, and earn their trust. One of our cats had Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which gave me experience caring for a cat with special health considerations and reinforced the importance of paying close attention to an animal's well-being and daily routine. I also have experience caring for cats in their own homes. Last summer, I looked after a family friend's cat while they spent two months in Greece, making sure their cat stayed happy, healthy, and on a consistent routine. I also house-sat for a colleague for two weeks while they were traveling across the country. Staying in their home allowed their cat to remain in a familiar environment and gave the owners peace of mind knowing both their pet and home were being well cared for. I'm efficient and thorough when it comes to cleaning litter boxes, keeping them fresh and tidy so cats have a clean, comfortable space every day. One of the things I love most about cats is how intelligent, curious, and independent they are. Every cat has a unique personality, and I enjoy taking the time to build trust, engage them through play, or simply provide quiet companionship on their terms. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or shy and reserved, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have trained one dog since she was 6 weeks old and is now 7. I also have a rescued abused dog that I trained that is 2.5 now. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I work full-time but can frequently stop by to take care of your pet. I love walks as well and playing fetch (or whatever your pet prefers). I would stop by at least 3 times a day and walk at least twice. For now, I will not house pets more than 2 pets in my home due to limited space. When you book me, I would love detailed information on what you expect from me!
About: I have taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have done much Cat sitting. I have also taken care of Birds and Reptiles I am conscientious, reliable, communicative and trustworthy. Your pet will be safe with me. When in my care they are top priority. Caring for your pet/s is my full time duty. Your pet is the utmost importance of safety, love ,comfort and I will follow your instructions precisely, in order to keep your pet happy and content.
About: Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of the pets in my family. Bunnies, dogs, cats, fish, gerbils and mice. I’ve given baths, taken dogs on runs, cuddled with kittens, played with bunnies. I’ve had to give medication to animals before. I’m quite active (trail runner) and really open to anything. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I work remote from home as a video editor and I get to decide my own schedule and hours everyday. That means I get to prioritize your pet or home first! I’ve grown up with animals all my life - so I suppose at this point it is just second nature to be around them. I make sure not to leave often, especially in the first 48 hours, so that I can help keep your pets relax as you leave. I try to spend a lot of intentional time with them up front so they get to know me and trust me. I once had to walk a dog 5 times between 10pm and 2am because it was nervous, but by the next day we were best friends. It just takes time and patience.
About: Born and raised among the pack lol I’ve had critters ever since I can remember. We’ve always had dogs-multiple at a time-as well as cats and horses. I’ve given shots, administered meds, clipped claws, cleaned litter boxes, dog kennels, stalls and everything in between. I absolutely adore critters, so you can put your mind to rest knowing your fur babies will be treated as if they were my own. I own my own business so my hours are very flexible and I can move them accordingly! I can be around your critters 100% of the time, giving around the clock love, scratches, and adventure. I have a fenced kennel with access to go inside the garage and get out of the elements, as well as a adventurous spirit to go run or walk on the trails, throw a ball, or just give lots of cuddles and love. Really it’s all dependent on what each individual fur baby needs.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I could remember! I’ve lived on a farm and find pleasure in tending to animal needs! Pets are therapeutic and are make great buddies for outdoor activities! I’m currently working full-time and have availability in the late afternoon (after 3PM) to tend to your pets desires! I typically work mornings 7AM-3PM. I enjoy working with people and animals, and find them to truly make a difference in our outlooks in life! I unfortunately currently am unable to board animals or do day care at my home. Fortunately, I do spend a lot of time outdoors, and enjoy having a buddy along the ride! So if needed, I’d love to take your animal for a ride and to go sight/adventure seeking!
“Melanie was great! She looked in on my two cats while I was away, and gave them care & attention- gave me peace of mind they were well taken care of with her photos & note! I’ll definitely book her again, and have already recommended her to a friend!”
About: I’ve cared for so many different cats and they all have their own quirks. My philosophy is to let them come to me, build trust slowly before invading their space too much, and use food/pets to affirm trust! Often, I also “cat proof” rooms and ensure I have easy access to any corners they might go to hide.

“Cleo had a great time. She hit it off immediately with Nick's labrador Margie and was eager to go back the second day. Nicholas was very flexible and accommodating of my uncertain schedule and weird hours.”
“Ben and Tuuli are the best! My pup was so stoked every time we pulled up to Ben’s house and I knew that he’d be having a great day with them. He was happy and tired after full days of play and walks. Ben is incredibly easy going and responsible. I never had a worry leaving Woody in Ben’s care and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an awesome pet sitter!”
“Megan is both responsive and responsible. She seamlessly folded my dog Emerson into her play time with her cute dog Cheddar. She sent several pictures to show that Emerson had a great day! I would definitely use Megan again if I need sitting in the Missoula area. Thanks Megan and Cheddar!”
“Bryan was awesome. He was available last minute to watch our dog while we were visiting family in Montana. Bryan was very communicative and sent photos of Javi throughout the day. Would 10000% use Bryan and his dog Ron on our next visit to Missoula!”
“Seriously the best dogsitter ever! I was in town for an event with a schedule that kept changing so my plans were all over the place and Danielle was so helpful and came to the rescue last minute when I needed an extra day of daycare. My dog came home happy and he clearly had fun :) I've already booked Danielle again!”
About: I am a full-time journalist who loves to get out on the weekends! I’m originally from Alaska and spend every opportunity I can getting outside with my 15-year-old border collie. I work from home and stay with the animals all day. We wake up early for potty breaks first thing in the morning. Dogs are allowed on the furniture for ultimate snuggles! I have a fenced yard with plenty of animal friends to keep your pet occupied and comfortable. The house is also large enough that if your animal needs space, we can cordon off an area for them to have peace and quiet.
About: I am a wildlife biologist who grew up with pets of all kinds and personally cared for puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I am based at home and only take one client at a time (up to 2 dogs), which allows me to provide 24/7 personalized care in a safe, loving, and playful environment. Your pet will join my family (my husband (also a wildlife biologist), our 2 daughters, and our friendly dog Juniper). Your dog will enjoy access to our large fenced yard and comfortable indoor living areas. I am home full-time, so my guest pets have 24/7 access to me and are cared for around the clock! I'm able to offer daily walks and as many mealtimes, potty breaks, and attention as your pet needs. At night, pets sleep inside in whichever arrangement is preferred for them. I know it can be so hard to leave a beloved pet, but I truly like to give them their best life! I'm able to care for well-socialized pets and provide plenty of daily exercise, affection, and cozy resting spots where I am close by. I have a large, securely fenced yard with shady spots and plenty of running space. I have 2 crates available if needed (unless instructed to use a crate, I do not use them). Reactive dogs are not a good fit for my home.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. I have experience walking, potty, obedience & agility training dogs and cats, as well as grooming dogs and cats, medication administration, and lots of snuggles and play time with both. I also provide emotional care & support for your animals, in addition to food, water & exercise. I also care for birds. Weekday and weekend availability. I am also available holidays. The sooner you can book me ahead of time, the better. Message me and I will come over for a meet & greet! I only care for cats & dogs & birds in the client’s home, and follow instructions carefully. Food, litter and playtime is my first priority. Love to walk dogs. Additional services as needed.

“April took both of our girls on short notice while we were visiting Missoula, they had a great time and got along great with her smaller dogs! I would 100% use April again next time we’re in Missoula :)”
“Needed a last minute daycare situation while on the road, Lauren’s place was perfect! My dog was able to play with a fun group of other dogs in a beautiful setting just outside of town. Thank you so much! Will def be back the next time we’re in the area!”
About: Greetings! I've grown up with adopted dogs and have raised one from a puppy to adulthood. My entire home is open to pups (human beds and furniture), but will adhere to any rules you have in your home. My neighborhood has a lot of kids and other dogs around, as well as large common areas for running around. Can administer medication via treats or orally. Have experience working with dogs on- and off-leash, as well as in packs. Will be able to transport pups in a roomy vehicle all around town and beyond. My daily schedule is pretty flexible, and I'm open to hosting pups in my house or dropping in at the comfort of your pup's own home. Tell me all about your furry friend. Hoping I can meet you and your companion soon! I have a very sporadic work schedule, so I'm home frequently during the weekdays and weekends, and typically am only gone from the home for about 5 hours if I have to be somewhere. I'm able to accommodate frequent walk and bathroom break schedules, have experience taking multiple dogs in my car to hiking trails and other adventure areas. When I'm available to work, I'll frequently be with your pet throughout the day and overnight. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet neighborhood with open grassy areas and safe sidewalks. Will frequently run into kids of all ages in the area, and they're very responsive to dogs of all temperaments. If in your home I'd like to know anything and everything to keep your pet safe and comfortable, if you have cameras indoors or outdoors, as well as anything else about your pet's routine.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for as long as I can remember. I love all dogs big or small and appreciate getting to know a dogs personality. I have a flexible schedule so I am able to do drop ins frequently. I enjoy spending time with animals if you need longer visits as well. I like to be very respectful and considerate when coming into peoples homes. Respecting someone’s space is important to me personally. Also respecting the animal and their needs and boundaries is also very important to me.

“Our boy Cashew is still in the thicket of big-dog adolescence, and at 70lbs it can feel like steadying a runaway train, but Reid has been beyond wonderful with Cashew since the start! Reid is compassionate with our boy without letting him get away with unsafe behaviors, and now that I’m working 12hr days, I can trust that my boy will be exercised, exhausted, and excited to sleep until I’m back home. Choosing someone to bring into your home, while you’re not there, to temporarily *take your dog* is an undeniably stressful decision. Reid has made that process effortless, putting my entire family at ease, and I cannot recommend his services enough!”
About: Ive got 4 pups of my own and 2 step pups of all ages and sizes. We are vwry active and love getting out of the house, so I'd love to give that opportunity to other pups as well! We love going on daily walks/runs and trail walks/rucks. All my dogs are high energy and rather strong, so no dog is to much to handle here! If your pup wants to take it slow and sniff around or pick up the pace and go for a run, I'm down for it all! I'm currently attending school at UM for Wildlife Biology and looking to work around my school hours helping others with their pets if possible! Im available every weekday prior to 9:30am, and anytime after 1pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As well as anytime on the weekend!

About: I am a reliable dog and cat sitter, and have several friends and coworkers who can attest to this. Pet sitting brings me so much joy! Unfortunately I’m not in a place to have pets of my own, so I thought this would be a great way to spend time with animals and make some extra cash! My schedule is currently fairly flexible, as I am hybrid remote and on summer hours! I can do pretty much any day/time of the week, though this may change seasonally. I make sure to spread my time and love evenly between pets, respecting their space but giving them lots of scratches and playing with them when they want or need. I am always down to go for walks, play fetch, or just hang around the house together!
About: I have trained one dog since she was 6 weeks old and is now 7. I also have a rescued abused dog that I trained that is 2.5 now. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I work full-time but can frequently stop by to take care of your pet. I love walks as well and playing fetch (or whatever your pet prefers).

When you book me, I would love detailed information on what you expect from me!
About: Thought I'd try this app out to make an extra buck. I am a lover of all pets, well maybe not spiders. I grew up in the remote country of Wisconsin, with a bunch of farm animals, as well as cats and dogs. Growing up with pets, and farm animals is crucial for knowing animals. I'm always taking my roommates dog for walks, and to the dog park. We have a big fenced in yard in the heart of Missoula. Meru (my roommates female dog) is really friendly and loves all other cats and dogs. I would focus my energy on your dogs and cats of course, but if Meru and your dogs cross paths they'll be best friends for the day. Hope to hear from you, and lend a helping hand with your best friends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping a calm, clean environment. I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality. I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: Hi! My name is Courtney, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a mom who was always bringing home abandoned and rescued animals, so our house was never short on furry (or feathered!) family members. I was also raised on a farm where we cared for two horses, a donkey named Abigail, goats, chickens, rabbits, six outdoor cats, two indoor cats, and two dogs. Growing up in that environment taught me the responsibility, patience, and dedication that quality animal care requires. It also showed me just how rewarding the bond between people and animals can be. Today, I have a 13-year-old Golden Retriever named Mia, who is truly my whole world. Caring for her through every stage of her life has deepened my understanding of what pets mean to their families. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your beloved companion, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I recently graduated with my master's degree from the University of Montana and currently have a very flexible schedule while I search for my next career opportunity. That means I can provide dependable, attentive care and work around your pet's routine, whether they need walks, playtime, companionship, or lots of affection. I believe animals are some of our greatest supporters, and there's nothing more special than the unconditional love they share with us. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving their owners complete peace of mind. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I recently graduated with my master's degree from the University of Montana and am currently searching for the next step in my career. Because of that, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys mountain hikes, neighborhood walks, trips to the dog park, or long games of fetch, I'm happy to tailor our time together to match their energy level and personality. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I'm just as happy spending quality time providing companionship, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles. Since I have open availability, your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to follow your instructions carefully so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I live at the Corso Apartments in central Missoula, which features a large, well-maintained dog park right on the property. We're also located directly next to the Milwaukee Trail, making it easy to provide safe, enjoyable neighborhood walks or longer adventures for dogs who love to explore. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my apartment or yours, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring hands.
About: Born and raised among the pack lol I’ve had critters ever since I can remember. We’ve always had dogs-multiple at a time-as well as cats and horses. I’ve given shots, administered meds, clipped claws, cleaned litter boxes, dog kennels, stalls and everything in between. I absolutely adore critters, so you can put your mind to rest knowing your fur babies will be treated as if they were my own. I own my own business so my hours are very flexible and I can move them accordingly! I can be around your critters 100% of the time, giving around the clock love, scratches, and adventure. I have a fenced kennel with access to go inside the garage and get out of the elements, as well as a adventurous spirit to go run or walk on the trails, throw a ball, or just give lots of cuddles and love. Really it’s all dependent on what each individual fur baby needs.

“Megan and Matt were friendly and very accommodating. Our dog enjoyed having canine buddies and a loving family to hang with while we were away.”
“Our host was wonderful with koda bear, my German Shepherd. They took him on walks and even on a hike, which he absolutely loved. It was clear that koda bear was well cared for and had a great time during his stay. I appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. He came home happy and tired from all the fun. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Emma is a true gem…my only regret is not finding her sooner…the day before our first stay, my dog Mellow received a diagnosis of a fast acting terminal cancer…I was worried about leaving him but I needed to fly out of state due to a death in my family…she was super sensitive, flexible when my plans changed slightly, communicative and attended to delivering his newly prescribed meds…she did everything to make his stay with her and my concerns as comfortable as possible... he loved the added benefit of getting to sleep on her bed. Thank you Emma for making his first and last time with you wonderful.”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog. Stella came home happy, tired and with as little anxiety as I’ve ever seen her have after a sitter experience. I would give ten stars if that was an option!”
“Our pup, Chaco, was in amazing hands! She loved her walks, swims in the river, playtime with her best dog friend Juniper, and extra cuddles from the kids. We enjoyed getting updates and photos throughout the day. It made our days while being away. We also had a travel delay and Gabrielle was able to host our pup for another day. It was extremely helpful. Definitely love the family for taking amazing care of our pup! 💕🐾”

“Kerry and her family and truly so wonderful. They cared for my pup as if it were their own. Indah had a lovely time! Kerry made sure to keep me updated with photos and texts which were very much appreciated. Thanks so much Kerry!”
“Teresa's home was a good place for Nessie, my husky, to stay. She has a nice backyard with tall fences to keep her contained, and our dogs did fine when greeting. Teresa sent photos which is always nice to see. I would use her again.”
“Had a great experience with Nicole! She was friendly and made me feel comfortable leaving my young border collie with her over the weekend! She was looking after another dog as well and they both became best friends while I was away! She has a nice backyard for the dogs, and took them on some long walks. Nicole sent updates of Dusty so I was able to feel at ease while away from him, and he was happy to see me when I returned, thanks Nicole!”
“Tlhis was my first time leaving my Aussie Steel with a dog sitter. He's with me almost 24/7 because of my job. I'm sure I had a much harder time than he did! Ben told me about some of his regulars that he watches, and that they would be coming when Steel wad there. From the videos that Ben sent to me and the updates, I could see Steel was in good company and doing great!! He got lots of outside time, ate well and was completely worn out from a hike when I picked him up! :) I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Ben”
“Carol was great! My dog was very happy after her stay! Carol was a great communicator and I knew she took amazing care of my dog when I was away. I highly recommend Carol and will be using her in the future!”
“Friendly and responsive care. Our pup had a great time hanging with Bryan and Ron, and excellent photo and video updates throughout the weekend left us feeling good as well.”
“What a quality feeling when you’re dog is in the hands of someone like Barbara. In a world where everything seems to be going haywire, knowing your dog is safe when you leave town is the best.”
“Our older dog was well taken care of by Ellen. We received cute updates and quick communication. Would be happy to have her look after our Sidney again and Sidney would be happy to see her!”
“Addie took such great care of our boy fisher! We got lots of pictures of adventures and walks, which clearly showed that he was having a good time. She was also very understanding when we had an unexpected flight delay the last day of our trip. Would highly recommend!”
“Loved Delaney she was absolutely wonderful. She took amazing care of Eddy. Im extremely happy with her and bullet and I plan on having her care for Eddy again”

“Leah was fantastic with my dog. They were attentive, reliable, and followed all care instructions perfectly. She took my dog out on lots of hikes to stay active. Communication was excellent throughout with lots of photo updates. She even got my dog a small stuffed animal as a holiday present. Would book again.”
About: Animals have been a constant in my life since childhood. I've loved and cared for many pets of my own - dogs, cats, ferrets, small animals, reptiles, birds, and fish - which has given me hands-on experience with everything from syringe feeding to crate, house, and litter box training to medical and senior care. I've fostered rescues, volunteered at the Humane Society, worked in pet stores, and looked after friends' and neighbors' pets many times over the years. I'm attentive, calm, and protective, with a deep respect for all living beings. When you trust me with your pet, you can count on them being safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I'm home throughout the week so pets in my care are never left unsupervised and get plenty of attention, interaction, and companionship. If there are any daytime hours where I may need to be away from home, that will always be communicated clearly with owners ahead of time during scheduling. I have two small dogs and a cat of my own, so I'm very mindful about maintaining a calm environment, always paying close attention to the comfort, boundaries, and safety of each animal. My one-level home has a fully fenced backyard where pets enjoy supervised outdoor time for play, exercise, and potty breaks. Pets in my care are treated like members of the family, and because I prioritize consistent supervision and safety, I do not offer off-property pack walks during boarding stays.
