About: As a lifelong animal lover with a B.S. in Animal Science and 5+ years of experience as a horse wrangler, I bring both deep expertise and genuine heart to pet care. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic pups to gentle seniors. Whether it's managing active dogs, handling large breeds, or administering daily medications, I provide skilled, attentive care you can trust. I will treat your pup like my own! I am currently a stay at home mom with two littles, so I am very flexible. I will do what I can to work with your schedule! I have a large fenced yard and the ability to separate my dogs from yours if that is a preference. We take lots of walks around the ranch My animals are full up to date on vaccines and our cat keeps to herself. If I'm stopping into your home I am happy to provide services like walks and playtime or grooming. I want your animals to maintain their schedule as much as possible!
“Diedra saved our bacon. We had a Yellowstone trip booked, and we arrived the night before dog drop off with a different sitter, and the sitter canceled at midnight. We had a panic! 20 minutes later, Diedra was booked and it couldn't have been nicer for our dog. Diedra was calm, professional, and curious, and sent regular updates. She helped our dog navigate other dogs, and just generally put us at ease. When we come back for another Yellowstone visit, we'll definitely contact Diedra first. :)”
“Kat &Jake (and their fur babies, Copper & Molly), are a doggie’s dream come true, should leaving town be in your future. They made our girl, who was suddenly a solo dog after the passing of our older dog, feel right at home, despite our girl’s understandable loss of confidence after that somewhat recent event. Kat &Jake are clearly loving and kind dog-lovers. The daily updates were awesome, and kept me feeling good. Highly recommend this lovely family!”
About: I grew up with dogs so I have experience with puppies - older dogs. I enjoy dogs of all ages and sizes. I have years of experience walking and dog sitting friends, families and neighbors dogs. I work from home / remotely so I have the flexibility to take care of your dog during the day and make sure they get the activity needed throughout the day. Will be available on weekends with enough notice. In my home I have a yard that dogs can access with a great walking area on leash. For taking care of a dog in clients home I will make sure there is nothing the dog can get into and check the surrounding environments to make sure the dog is protected at all times with out limiting activity.
“Eliza is a great communicator and provided us with so many wonderful photo updates! Banjo had a great time and was very well-cared for. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Josephine was great! From drop off to pick up she allowed me to go out of town knowing my pup was in good hands! Will definitely book again and highly recommend you do the same!”
“Cait is quick to response at any time, and very accommodating to my change of plans. I can tell my puppy is really missing cait's place where she get to play with 5 more dogs!”
“We loved her, but I think our dog loved her more! He was pouting when we got home having had such a lovely time with Brighid and her pups. Snuggle parties, belly rubs, and a new bestie. We are grateful to have had such a nice experience!”
“Whitley has helped us twice, and does a wonderful job! She kept us updated with photos, took our puppy for walks, and took great care of him. The second time we dropped him off he ran straight up to Whitley wagging his tail so hard - he was really happy to see her again! =) So our dog's rating also seems to be 5 stars for Whitley.”
“Hands down the best cat sitter around. Daily updates, awesome communication, above and beyond in every way. Look no further for your furry pals. Rover-thanks for the easy use of the app and for offering such a great sitter. Joules-we truly appreciate you!”
“Allie was super responsive, friendly and did a meet and great. Coco loved being with her dogs and immediately ran in to her yard and felt right at home. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Thank you Allie!”
“Lauren and Tay were great! Our dog loved them and they sent us sweet updates while we were away. We were just passing through Bozeman so they were very helpful providing recommendations as well! Definitely would recommend!”
“Katie was the best for taking care of my senior Mini Aussie, Stone. He was well cared for... many walks, a hike even and toys, and another dog to play with. He was so happy when I picked him up! Great stay... highly recommend, Kaitie!”
About: I am a big animal lover and I love spending time with them. I have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a little hobby homestead. I work from home and I am available to spend time with your doggy. During the day, I let the dogs out as many times as they need, we take a longer lunch break together and have fun in the backyard. I have a lot of experience taking care of doggies and other pets. I grew up with animals and I love them all. Your dog will be treated as my own and will get spoiled at my place. A Day With Me Your pet will spend the day with me and my three small, friendly dogs! I am working from home full time, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. The mornings start with a potty break and some playtime in the backyard. Around 9 AM, I start work from my home office, and your pet is welcome to hang out with me while I work. Around noon, we usually take a short walk or head outside for some playtime. After that, your pup can relax in the backyard or come back inside and keep me company in my office. My dogs are pretty attached to me and usually won’t stay outside without me anyway! 😊 Around 3 PM, I pick up the kids from school, and the dogs come along with me. It’s just part of my normal daily routine. In the evenings, I usually spend some time outside taking care of my little homestead and animals. The dogs get plenty of time to enjoy the backyard, play, and explore while I’m outside with them. Your dog will become part of my daily routine and my family while they’re staying with me. I’ll care for your dog as I would my own—with lots of attention, patience, and love—and do my very best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy throughout their stay. Half of my backyard is fenced in and it is around 5” tall. I am in a quiet neighborhood with only 7 houses and a private road.
“Emma did a great job with my pup. She took him for several walks and even went hiking up the M. She kept in touch with me and sent several pictures. I’ll definitely be using her again.”

“Karen was amazing! Not just with my baby Cheeto but also with me. She went above and beyond to make sure my baby was safe and also to make sure my mail and a couple other house chores where taken care of. I appreciate her so much for willing to go the extra mile for us. With her not just your pets will be saved but your home too. Thank you so much Karen!!”
“As soon as Lorraine walked in the house for a meet and greet, both of my cats warmed up to her. One of them is typically very shy at first and he took to her right away--a great relief to me! She sent photos while I was away and it was clear that the cats were well cared for and content!”

About: I have years of experience getting to know cats with all kinds of personalities—from affectionate and social to shy, independent, and cautious around new people. What sets me apart is my patience and attentiveness. I understand that cats need to feel comfortable on their own terms, and I’m happy to give them space or provide plenty of affection and playtime depending on what they prefer. I take each cat’s routine seriously, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and simply spending quality time with them so they aren’t alone while you’re away. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or mood. My goal is to keep your cat’s environment as familiar and stress-free as possible—and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for by someone who genuinely enjoys and understands cats.

“My pup Sundance had her bestest day at Diedra’s! I heard she played and played with her new canine friends, the definition of joy for her - and so much better than a confining day trip through Yellowstone with us. This was our second time leaving Sunny with Diedra and I’m sure we will again.”

About: I have had a pet my entire life and have a huge heart for dogs. My current family pet (that does not live with me) is a little more needy, so I have experience with caring for pets that need medicine, special food, or just some extra love and attention.

“Katie was awesome! We have a dog who can be quite anxious around new people and she was at ease with Katie as soon as she met her. I almost cancelled my plans for that day because I was worried about how the dogs would do, but after meeting her I was so comfortable that I was able to enjoy our day at Yellowstone and wasn't even worried during the times we didn't have cell service.”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 8 years old, when I bought my own dog. I was raised around horses, plenty of dogs and cats, and a few lizards over the years. As an adult, I’ve been asked by many friends, family members, colleagues, and acquaintances to care for their animals. I’ve cared for rats, fish, salamanders, other amphibious creators, a variety of dog breeds, and some feline friends as well. I’m a dog lover at heart, but I love all animals! I’m a graduate student at Montana State University studying architecture. Currently I am not working though so I am fully available for whatever your needs are until school starts. I respect every client’s home and maintain professionalism for every service. Each client and pet is different; my services vary based on the agreed terms and information provided regarding the care of the client’s pet and home, however I strive to provide the best care possible to ensure the health, safety, and happiness of the animals. I am clean, tidy, and generally a quiet, low-key person.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’m active and spend a lot of time outdoors with my husky mix, Nugget, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, and I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs and routine. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines, and can be flexible depending on your dog’s needs.

I have a fenced yard with a dog door, so your dog can go in and out as they please, or I can close it off if you prefer. My dog (a husky) loves being outside and often relaxes on his outdoor bed, but I also have multiple dog beds inside and outside so your dog will always have a comfortable place to rest. We stay very active with multiple walks a day, and I usually bike with my dog once a day using a harness and leash for safe exercise. If that’s something you’d like for your dog, I’m happy to include that as well. I always adjust to each dog’s needs, comfort level, and routine to make sure they feel safe and at home. I also have seat belts and harnesses in the backseat of the car for the dogs while driving.

About: I believe great pet care is about more than feeding, walks, and letting dogs outside—it’s about making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their person is away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and very tuned in to an animal’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every pet is different: some need lots of activity and play, while others are happiest with a calm presence, a familiar routine, and plenty of affection. I’m comfortable caring for pets at different stages of life, from energetic younger animals who need consistency and positive reinforcement to senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, and closer attention. I take routines and owner instructions seriously and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Most importantly, I want you to be able to leave knowing your pet is with someone who will truly pay attention to them—not simply “check in” and move on. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can work around your pet’s usual feeding, exercise, and care routine. I know how important consistency is when you’re away, so I do my best to keep your pet’s routine familiar and comfortable. I also make sure visits don’t feel rushed—whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, affection, or simply some calm companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the individualized care they need. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay in the environment they already know and feel most comfortable in. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other specific care instructions. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety, and I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and privacy. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, giving them affection and interaction when they want it while respecting their space when they need it. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being treated with care and respect while you’re away.

About: I have had many dogs growing up and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I have dog sat for many friends, family, and coworkers and am looking to provide the same service to you. My current housing will not allow pets, which of course, leaves me needing my fix of K-9 time. I work as a bartender, server and cook at the Olive Garden and mostly my shifts there start around four. So if you have a pug, bulldog, jack russel, german shepherd, lab, poodle, border collie, sheep dog, pit bull, doberman, wolf, direwolf, husky, cat, St. Bernard, Shitzu, husky, golden retriever, or any other animal that needs attention, walking, or just a friend, give me a call! Looking forward to making new furry friends!

About: As a lifelong animal lover with a B.S. in Animal Science and 5+ years of experience as a horse wrangler, I bring both deep expertise and genuine heart to pet care. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic pups to gentle seniors. Whether it's managing active dogs, handling large breeds, or administering daily medications, I provide skilled, attentive care you can trust. I will treat your pup like my own! I am currently a stay at home mom with two littles, so I am very flexible. I will do what I can to work with your schedule! I have a large fenced yard and the ability to separate my dogs from yours if that is a preference. We take lots of walks around the ranch My animals are full up to date on vaccines and our cat keeps to herself. If I'm stopping into your home I am happy to provide services like walks and playtime or grooming. I want your animals to maintain their schedule as much as possible!
“Diedra saved our bacon. We had a Yellowstone trip booked, and we arrived the night before dog drop off with a different sitter, and the sitter canceled at midnight. We had a panic! 20 minutes later, Diedra was booked and it couldn't have been nicer for our dog. Diedra was calm, professional, and curious, and sent regular updates. She helped our dog navigate other dogs, and just generally put us at ease. When we come back for another Yellowstone visit, we'll definitely contact Diedra first. :)”
“Kat &Jake (and their fur babies, Copper & Molly), are a doggie’s dream come true, should leaving town be in your future. They made our girl, who was suddenly a solo dog after the passing of our older dog, feel right at home, despite our girl’s understandable loss of confidence after that somewhat recent event. Kat &Jake are clearly loving and kind dog-lovers. The daily updates were awesome, and kept me feeling good. Highly recommend this lovely family!”
About: I grew up with dogs so I have experience with puppies - older dogs. I enjoy dogs of all ages and sizes. I have years of experience walking and dog sitting friends, families and neighbors dogs. I work from home / remotely so I have the flexibility to take care of your dog during the day and make sure they get the activity needed throughout the day. Will be available on weekends with enough notice. In my home I have a yard that dogs can access with a great walking area on leash. For taking care of a dog in clients home I will make sure there is nothing the dog can get into and check the surrounding environments to make sure the dog is protected at all times with out limiting activity.
“Eliza is a great communicator and provided us with so many wonderful photo updates! Banjo had a great time and was very well-cared for. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Josephine was great! From drop off to pick up she allowed me to go out of town knowing my pup was in good hands! Will definitely book again and highly recommend you do the same!”
“Cait is quick to response at any time, and very accommodating to my change of plans. I can tell my puppy is really missing cait's place where she get to play with 5 more dogs!”
“We loved her, but I think our dog loved her more! He was pouting when we got home having had such a lovely time with Brighid and her pups. Snuggle parties, belly rubs, and a new bestie. We are grateful to have had such a nice experience!”
“Whitley has helped us twice, and does a wonderful job! She kept us updated with photos, took our puppy for walks, and took great care of him. The second time we dropped him off he ran straight up to Whitley wagging his tail so hard - he was really happy to see her again! =) So our dog's rating also seems to be 5 stars for Whitley.”
“Hands down the best cat sitter around. Daily updates, awesome communication, above and beyond in every way. Look no further for your furry pals. Rover-thanks for the easy use of the app and for offering such a great sitter. Joules-we truly appreciate you!”
“Allie was super responsive, friendly and did a meet and great. Coco loved being with her dogs and immediately ran in to her yard and felt right at home. She went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Thank you Allie!”
“Lauren and Tay were great! Our dog loved them and they sent us sweet updates while we were away. We were just passing through Bozeman so they were very helpful providing recommendations as well! Definitely would recommend!”
“Katie was the best for taking care of my senior Mini Aussie, Stone. He was well cared for... many walks, a hike even and toys, and another dog to play with. He was so happy when I picked him up! Great stay... highly recommend, Kaitie!”
“Emma did a great job with my pup. She took him for several walks and even went hiking up the M. She kept in touch with me and sent several pictures. I’ll definitely be using her again.”
