“Morgan and her family are so welcoming to my pups. Her dogs are friendly and playful. There is a good sized backyard with enrichments for pets to play on and around. Recommend highly!!!”
“Olivia is the absolute sweetest. Our dogs were so well taken care of and loved playing in the big yard. Will definitely be using her anytime we need to leave the dogs.”
“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.”
“Devonna was awesome! She made Petey feel like he was at home and made us feel super-comfortable with having him pet-sit for the first time. She was extremely flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. We will definitely book again!”
“Shannon and Zach were amazing with Bella. They made her feel part of the family and she loved playing with their kids and dog. Shannon also has some serious photography skills! Couldn’t recommend them any more strongly!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Elisabeth and her sweet family. He was obviously loved on a lot; I'm not sure he wanted to come home! She sent regular updates and pictures and was very flexible with our pickup and drop-off times. 10/10 will book with her again for our next trip!!”
“Andy took great care of our lab. He gave her plenty of exercise and updated us daily with photos. He genuinely seemed to enjoy our dog which means a lot to us. I highly recommend Andy if you need someone to watch your dog.”
“Lucy was so awesome with Cochise! She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates. Her pup Remy is very chill and friendly. Her house is dog friendly and she was very conscientious when introducing the dogs. Would be happy to use Lucy again!”
“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!”
“Our trip to Glacier was possible because of Whitney’s great care and perfect location. We knew our dog was safe and happy while we toured the park. Thank you Whitney!”
“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!!”
“First things first…Tiffany is a sweetheart! She sent us photos at least once on a daily basis. Which all dog owners know is HUGE! She was always quick to respond. She even accommodated me when I needed to drop my boy off a few hours early. Thank you Tiffany you really helped us not only to enjoy Cancun but to really relax and unplug knowing the our boy was in great hands!! Wibble says you can have him over anytime! Haha ?”
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
“Sophie and her family were so great. Very communicative. They sent me photos of my pup while I was gone and kept me updated with how he was doing. They have a great place for dogs to stay and a nice yard for the dogs to play in. This was definitely like a vacation for my dog!”
“Boomer was a very lucky dog. He spent the day with Becky and family, who took him on an awesome hike. They checked to see how we manage Boomer on the trail and it went swimmingly. We’re happy to have a local resource for future visits.”

“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.”
About: Hi! I'm Caitlin! I grew up caring for all kinds of critters and training dogs. They are family, and when being cared for by me, will be treated as such. I am available for play and walks weekday mornings and dog sitting almost every night. I love playing fetch, running, tugg of war, or maybe a hike! I do have e a dog of my own so walks can be inclusive of them or not. If I am pet sitting she will be with me. Let's set up a time for everyone to meet!

I have plenty of time through the day for hour long walks. I have a dog of my own so I understand first hand what it is like to be away from them. I send updates, videos, pictures all the time.
“Meghan took great care of my kitty fur babies while we were away! She is professional, attentive, and prompt. We will be definitely using her again in the future :) Thank you!”
“She has been so great! She takes great care of the dogs and follows all instructions and also in ways I don’t even need to ask or remind! I never have to worry about them when I am not home and know she’s swinging by, definitely recommend!”
About: I will drop in as often as necessary, can make your home look “lived-in”(turning lights off/on, watering flowers, etc), and I will become your dog’s second best friend! I promote pup training and will work hard to reinforce positive behavior, and love trying to teach an old dog new tricks. I have a Newfoundland that I even managed to teach to do a variety of tricks including rolling over! Also, I have had experience with tempermental dogs/puppies that don’t do well with others. I’m available for drop in visits and to take the dog out of the house for walks or trips to the park. I’m available daily before work (7:45am or earlier) as well as after work (6:00pm or later) and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I look forward to spoiling your pup with lots of love, attention, play time, and treats! If you’re looking for someone reliable, flexible, and friendly, then I look forward to meeting your little (or big!) dog. I currently am working full-time, Monday-Thursday, 8:00am-6:00pm. I can drop by after work, or on the weekends. I love spending my free time with animals and am happy to spend quality time with your pet(s)! I provide animals with lots of extra love while their owners are away. I like to provide one-on-one care with the animals and play with them as needed!
“Katie did an amazing job caring for our pets! She went above and beyond in doing everything possible to be there for them in bad weather, when it was difficult to get to our house. We are very grateful for her hard work and dedication. Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend!”

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. We would snowshoe with the dogs in the winter and take them to the lake in the summer. Currently, I have a senior dog named Kota, who is almost 11 and has arthritis. 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. I do have to adapt to each dogs needs and take pride in being in tune with my dogs and how they are feeling. I do have a job outside of pet sitting but I am flexible with my schedule due to the nature of my work, I will always try to accommodate to the best of my ability. I like to make sure that active dogs get the exercise they require, and plenty of love and attention. It is important to me that they are comfortable and happy while their family is away.
About: Growing up with cat's, I've always appreciated their quirky personalities and independent spirit. My sister now has two cats of her own, and I still spend time with them, helping care for them when needed. I enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their own space while their humans are away. I sure do hope to have a Maine Coon one day but until then I enjoy spending my time caring for others furry friends.

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 took good care of our pups and was very accommodating with the hours. She paid attention to introduce her dogs to ours and all went very well. Thank you again!”
“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!”
About: Growing up, I have always had dogs as pets ranging from big to small. My family even bred gold retrievers for many years. I will love and take care of your pets like if they are my own. I am a stay at home mom who has plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! My schedule is open and super flexible to take care of your pets needs. I am able to take your dog for runs or walks for your senior dog. If you are teaching your puppy basic commands I can assist.
“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!”
“Tiffany took wonderful care of Dixie and Smokey for the day while we went into the park! She was great with communication beforehand and throughout the day and flexible with drop off/pick up times! She exercised the girls multiple times and sent lots of pictures throughout the day! 5+ ⭐️”
“Great location right outside the park! Whitney was great at communicating and did a wonderful job caring for our dog. Willow was nervous and Whitney was very patient!”
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!
“Kelly is so awesome! Charley had such a fun day playing at her house and on a trip to the river. My mom and I were able tk have a great day hiking in glacier knowing Charley was safe and having fun! Would highly recommend Kelly!”
“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.”
“We could not have picked nicer people to care for our dog, Daisy on our visit to Glacier National Park. It was very convenient and about 20 minutes to the park. Emily and her family were so caring and loving to our pet. We had 100% confidence while Daisy was there to be safe and well cared for. Many thanks for a great day at your home for our pup!!”
“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!”
“Sophie is so great! She’s been very flexible with my work schedule and takes excellent care of my pup! She has a big yard for him to hang out in and takes him for long walks! Thank you Sophie!!”
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!

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.

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.
About: Hi, I’m John but people call me Jax! I grew up house and pet sitting for my neighbors who owned lots of domesticated and exotic animals! I’ve watched sugar gliders, parrots, macaws, skunks, raccoons, chinchillas, and dogs of all sizes! I’m experienced, reliable, and ready to make sure your pet is taken care of so you don’t have to worry! I currently work full time at fresh life church in downtown Kalispell from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday! My daily schedule is flexible and I am willing to make trips to let pets out, feed, or just check in on my lunch break! I love a night in with a pet so during the evenings and my day off I am more than available and willing to play, go for walks and keep them company! I live in a small apartment and so I only offer in home services. I am available to stay over with your pet or come by and check in a few times a day!
About: Growing up, I have always had dogs as pets ranging from big to small. My family even bred gold retrievers for many years. I will love and take care of your pets like if they are my own. I am a stay at home mom who has plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! My schedule is open and super flexible to take care of your pets needs. I am able to take your dog for runs or walks for your senior dog. If you are teaching your puppy basic commands I can assist.
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.

Will book with her again!”

“Morgan and her family are so welcoming to my pups. Her dogs are friendly and playful. There is a good sized backyard with enrichments for pets to play on and around. Recommend highly!!!”
“Olivia is the absolute sweetest. Our dogs were so well taken care of and loved playing in the big yard. Will definitely be using her anytime we need to leave the dogs.”
“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.”
“Devonna was awesome! She made Petey feel like he was at home and made us feel super-comfortable with having him pet-sit for the first time. She was extremely flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. We will definitely book again!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Elisabeth and her sweet family. He was obviously loved on a lot; I'm not sure he wanted to come home! She sent regular updates and pictures and was very flexible with our pickup and drop-off times. 10/10 will book with her again for our next trip!!”
“Andy took great care of our lab. He gave her plenty of exercise and updated us daily with photos. He genuinely seemed to enjoy our dog which means a lot to us. I highly recommend Andy if you need someone to watch your dog.”
“Lucy was so awesome with Cochise! She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates. Her pup Remy is very chill and friendly. Her house is dog friendly and she was very conscientious when introducing the dogs. Would be happy to use Lucy again!”
“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!”
“Our trip to Glacier was possible because of Whitney’s great care and perfect location. We knew our dog was safe and happy while we toured the park. Thank you Whitney!”
“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!!”
“First things first…Tiffany is a sweetheart! She sent us photos at least once on a daily basis. Which all dog owners know is HUGE! She was always quick to respond. She even accommodated me when I needed to drop my boy off a few hours early. Thank you Tiffany you really helped us not only to enjoy Cancun but to really relax and unplug knowing the our boy was in great hands!! Wibble says you can have him over anytime! Haha ?”
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
“Sophie and her family were so great. Very communicative. They sent me photos of my pup while I was gone and kept me updated with how he was doing. They have a great place for dogs to stay and a nice yard for the dogs to play in. This was definitely like a vacation for my dog!”
“Boomer was a very lucky dog. He spent the day with Becky and family, who took him on an awesome hike. They checked to see how we manage Boomer on the trail and it went swimmingly. We’re happy to have a local resource for future visits.”
About: I am a full time Physical Therapist living in Whitefish with my boyfriend and our two dogs. I absolutely love animals. I am active and love the outdoors, so I will be more than happy to run or walk your dog as needed. I've been caring for animals since I was in high school and have had experience with all shapes, sizes, and ages. That being said, I have no problem giving medications, training, etc. I am quick to respond to calls/texts and give updates regularly while owners are away or at work and so forth. My goal is to go through your animals’ daily routine as closely as possible. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to be in contact with you as well as your pets soon! I’m currently working full time as a Physical Therapist and have some flexibility in my schedule to make things as smooth as possible for you and your pup. I work 8-10 hour days and if the location is right, can drop by over lunch for a potty break if needed. I will care for your pet at your home as close as possible to their regular schedule. If a walk morning and night is needed, they’ll get it. If snuggling on the couch is more important, we’ll do it!
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 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!
