“Wonderful dog sitters who took great care of my rescue dog Aspen while I was out of state. My dog got along perfectly with theirs and she’s pretty picky. I would highly recommend this sitter for anyone looking for a reliable place to keep their dog while away!!”
“Emma was absolutely amazing with Jasper! She took him on a good hike everyday and sent lots of beautiful pictures. He and Brody looked to be great friends and I felt bad breaking them up to take Jasper home. I loved that she was able to be with him so much her having a teleworking job. I would totally use her again!”
“Kenny was great! Very communicative and checked in with a photo about midday of how my pup was doing. Noelle was well taken care of for the day while my friend and I enjoyed some Montana outdoor activities. Would highly recommend!”
“Jennifer is the best!! She had great communication the whole time we were on our trip. My two dogs were happy and loved for the week. They enjoyed playing with Jennifer's dogs and all the extra treats and enrichment Jennifer offered. I know where my dogs will be going next time they need care.”
“Gabrielle took such good care of our dog and new puppy! She went on walks down by the river, played with the dogs, and sent us pictures throughout the day so we could see how they were doing. We definitely trust Gabrielle and highly recommend her. She is just wonderful. Thank you for everything you did to make our dogs happy. Our oldest dog, Tucker, didn't want to leave Gabrielle's house when we came to pick up the dogs after our trip. A true testament to how well they were treated. Thank you!”
“Chimmy had a great stay with Ben! He took her on a camping adventure, got her outside for plenty of exercise and fun, and she enjoyed the company of Tuuli. We were able to enjoy a weekend away knowing our dog was in great hands. We hope to book with Ben again! Thank you.”
“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.”
“Barbara was able to take in my dog last-minute when my travel plans suddenly changed, which was fantastic! She's a great communicator. My dog came home nice and tired, so I know she had a fun time.”
“Nicole was so amazing! She took such good care of our 2 pups and sent us regular updates. We have one high energy dog and one who has some health issues that limits her amount of exercise and Nicole worked with both of them to make sure they got what they needed! We will definitely be using her again”
“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.”
About: * 2 night min boarding * In my family, we always had a dog around. Then, as an adult, I got my very own .. a Yorkie! The only thing keeping me from getting another dog was how hard it was to say goodbye to my lil guy after 14 years. Instead, I get regular doses of love and connection from my guests' dogs (I run a glamping cabins resort called "The Hohnstead" -- plenty of reviews showing my genuine character and love for dogs there), and now, Rover. * 2 night/day minimum * My glamping cabin resort called The Hohnstead season is winding down so I have plenty of time to hike and play with your doggo. As an active and fit person, a day without 10k steps isn't a proper day at all so I'd love to take your dog along for the walk. It's just my wife and I at our home. No kids, no other dogs. I have a fenced area that includes our garden. That said, we also have 100 acres and only my parents as neighbors thus the daily walking/hiking.
“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!”
“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!”
“Danielle took great care of Sunny, was flexible with our schedule, and kept us updated! She made us feel very confident leaving Sunny with her and her sweet pup Leroy and I’d highly recommend her :)”
“Vanessa is incredible. She was very warm and personal when corresponding with her. She always responded very promptly. I left my little dog Millie with her while I took a girl's trip through glacier park. She updated me with lots of videos and photos. She was very accommodating when it came to my schedule. I think Jedi and Mllie became best buddies, they had lots of fun and worn each other out. I would definitely use Vanessa as a pet sitter in the future. I highly recommend her. She is very caring, responsible and definitely an animal lover.”
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.
“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 has been an incredibly dependable and caring sitter for our girl, Cleo. He is responsive and so loving while looking after our dog. The experience he provides is so fun that our usually needy girl is so excited for her visits with Nickolas and his sweet pup Margie. We lucked out finding such a great person and home for our Cleo to visit while we are away and we are so grateful!”

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: 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: 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 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: 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 was wonderful!! She was communicative & kind. Treated my home with care, and most importantly treated my kitty with the utmost love! He seemed very comfortable with her based on the photos. I truly appreciate her and all she did for my beloved furry friend!”
“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: Along with pet sitting for countless family, friends and neighbors over the last three years, I’ve organized large dog park events! 🐾 Jedi (my 4 y.o. Frenchie and I) and I look forward to working with you 🐶 I’m currently working from home and typically spend weekends and evenings at home as well unless going out for a special occasion. Weekdays are almost always available while weekends are available often. We do not have a fenced yard. Our house is typically very tidy and so there are never any small objects or clothing items on the floor. We do not feed dogs anything except what the client/owner provides and are careful to follow any special instructions for care.
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: Hey there! My name is Ben. Ever since I was little, there has always been an animal at home to greet me at the door. My family absolutely loved Vizslas, so I definitely know how to handle high-energy dogs. Our first dog lived to be 18 years old, so I have experience caring for senior dogs (and they will always hold a special place in my heart). I've taken care of dogs personally since they were puppies, so I have experience with all different ages. While I am used to trying to match my rambunctious pups' energy on walks, I am also a motivator of couch potatoes! I promise to be just as stubborn as your own little friend. That said, if you'd like me to try to get them extra exercise, I'd be willing to try jogging with them - just let me know! Overall, I hope to be a loving, observant, and friendly companion to your animals. I have about 2 years experience living with cats as well. I am respectful of their boundaries while always willing to give love if they’re open to receiving it. Can't wait to meet them (and hopefully you)! On the days I am not working, I have just about unlimited time! If it fits in my schedule, I’d be happy to help out. I will respect your pets and whatever environment you allow me access to with the same level of care and concern as if it were my own.
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: 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.
“Cam did a great job taking care of my cat and watching my house while I was gone for about a week. He left the house clean and everything was in good shape when I came home. His daily text updates with photos of my cat was really appreciated and made me rest easy so I could better enjoy my vacation. I strongly recommend Cam and plan to rebook with him next time.”

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!

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.

“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!”
“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.”
“Brianna was quick to respond to any message I sent,, she took my dog on a hike and tried her best to get all of his energy out. Thank you so much for accommodating Quinn last minute!”
“Kerry is a top notch dogsitter. Her and her husband took the greatest care of my dog. From playtime with her dogs to trips out and about,and treats and pets. She did an amazing job. Above and beyond. Thank you so much.”
“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!”
“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!”
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 have been a pet owner my whole life.

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.

I am willing to accommodate any needs a clients dog may have.
“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.

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.

“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: I’ve always loved pets and animals and after moving to Missoula am missing the two dogs I had with my younger sister so I’m looking for pets to connect with and care for while I don’t have any of my own. I work for Competitive Timing, a company that runs electronic timing for races and other running events. Because of that, I’m often gone traveling on weekends but during the weekdays I’m free to do whatever it is your pets would need and keep up their normal routine. I try to make the transition as seamless as possible caring for your pets in your home, on their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.
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). 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: 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.

“Wonderful dog sitters who took great care of my rescue dog Aspen while I was out of state. My dog got along perfectly with theirs and she’s pretty picky. I would highly recommend this sitter for anyone looking for a reliable place to keep their dog while away!!”
“Emma was absolutely amazing with Jasper! She took him on a good hike everyday and sent lots of beautiful pictures. He and Brody looked to be great friends and I felt bad breaking them up to take Jasper home. I loved that she was able to be with him so much her having a teleworking job. I would totally use her again!”
“Kenny was great! Very communicative and checked in with a photo about midday of how my pup was doing. Noelle was well taken care of for the day while my friend and I enjoyed some Montana outdoor activities. Would highly recommend!”
“Jennifer is the best!! She had great communication the whole time we were on our trip. My two dogs were happy and loved for the week. They enjoyed playing with Jennifer's dogs and all the extra treats and enrichment Jennifer offered. I know where my dogs will be going next time they need care.”
“Gabrielle took such good care of our dog and new puppy! She went on walks down by the river, played with the dogs, and sent us pictures throughout the day so we could see how they were doing. We definitely trust Gabrielle and highly recommend her. She is just wonderful. Thank you for everything you did to make our dogs happy. Our oldest dog, Tucker, didn't want to leave Gabrielle's house when we came to pick up the dogs after our trip. A true testament to how well they were treated. Thank you!”
“Chimmy had a great stay with Ben! He took her on a camping adventure, got her outside for plenty of exercise and fun, and she enjoyed the company of Tuuli. We were able to enjoy a weekend away knowing our dog was in great hands. We hope to book with Ben again! Thank you.”
“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.”
“Barbara was able to take in my dog last-minute when my travel plans suddenly changed, which was fantastic! She's a great communicator. My dog came home nice and tired, so I know she had a fun time.”
“Nicole was so amazing! She took such good care of our 2 pups and sent us regular updates. We have one high energy dog and one who has some health issues that limits her amount of exercise and Nicole worked with both of them to make sure they got what they needed! We will definitely be using her again”
“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.”
About: * 2 night min boarding * In my family, we always had a dog around. Then, as an adult, I got my very own .. a Yorkie! The only thing keeping me from getting another dog was how hard it was to say goodbye to my lil guy after 14 years. Instead, I get regular doses of love and connection from my guests' dogs (I run a glamping cabins resort called "The Hohnstead" -- plenty of reviews showing my genuine character and love for dogs there), and now, Rover. * 2 night/day minimum * My glamping cabin resort called The Hohnstead season is winding down so I have plenty of time to hike and play with your doggo. As an active and fit person, a day without 10k steps isn't a proper day at all so I'd love to take your dog along for the walk. It's just my wife and I at our home. No kids, no other dogs. I have a fenced area that includes our garden. That said, we also have 100 acres and only my parents as neighbors thus the daily walking/hiking.
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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 has been an incredibly dependable and caring sitter for our girl, Cleo. He is responsive and so loving while looking after our dog. The experience he provides is so fun that our usually needy girl is so excited for her visits with Nickolas and his sweet pup Margie. We lucked out finding such a great person and home for our Cleo to visit while we are away and we are so grateful!”
“Aderley is a delightful host, with a cozy home. A new favorite for my boy to stay at the next time I need to head out of town. I strongly recommend Aderley to others looking to board your bestie, and will be rebooking in the future.”
“Leah treated my dog Boo like a king. I couldn't have been happier about his stay with her, and neither could Boo. Leah's a great communicator-I received daily feedback of what they were doing, where they went, and reports on his behavior, how he got along with her dogs, and pictures(!). She has 2 dogs that were super playful and sweet with Boo. Leah was very careful to introduce our dogs first, which clued me in to how responsible and caring she is. While Boo was there, not only did he get to play in her yard and cuddle on the couch with her (um, he's 65 lbs and growing), she also took him on outings-including the dog island! I would definitely use Leah again and felt super comfortable about her taking care of my buddy. Highly recommended. Thank you Leah-from both of us! You're awesome!”
