Joseph D.

“5-star service (as usual), on top of caring for Red while he was recovering from an injury. I loved that I never had to worry about the care he was getting from Shawnee”

“Destanee came to my location to meet my fur baby in advance, and she understood the “Velcro” nature of her, and assured me all would be fine. She arranged pick-up with a third party without requiring my assistance (which was great because I was somewhere remote at the time). Thanks, Destanee!”

“Sarah did an amazing job with Oreo during the 30-minute visit. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure Oreo was well taken care of the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and photos as it gave me peace of mind while I was away. Oreo seemed happy and comfortable, which says a lot. I’d definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Carlee is always great with my cats and takes great care of them! I can rely on her to spend time with them, make sure they are cared for, and keep my house in good shape. I was gone for 16 days and everything was great when I came back.”

About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I've built a reputation as the sitter friends and family turn to when they need someone they can truly trust. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats gave me an intuitive understanding of pet behavior, and over the years I've cared for digs of all sizes from gentle giants to tiny lap dogs, anxious rescues to energetic puppies. What makes me different is my versatility and adaptability. I'm equally comfortable managing multi-dog households, caring for dogs and cats simultaneously, and adjusting to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether you have a senior dog requiring gentle, patient care or a high-energy breed that needs extra playtime, I know how to read their cues and provide exactly what they need to feel safe and loved. My experience with diverse breeds and household dynamics means I can handle whatever curveballs your pets might throw! I take pride in maintaining each pet's individual routine while ensuring harmony in multi-pet homes. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout my visits, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are not just being watched, but truly cared for by someone who understands that every pet is someone's beloved companion. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. Having recently moved to Helena, I'm excited to build lasting relationships with local pet owners and become a trusted part of this community. My open availability means I can easily accommodate various scheduling needs - whether you need morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet sitting never feels like work to me. It's actually the highlight of my day! I'm happy to work around your pet's established routine and can be flexible with timing to ensure they receive consistent, reliable care. Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule or is more go-with-the-flow, I'll adapt to what works best for them and your family! I believe the key to excellent pet care is maintaining consistency with your pet's established routine and household rules. When caring for pets in your home, I take detailed notes about their daily schedule, feeding times, favorite spots, and any house rules—whether that means staying off certain furniture or having free rein of the couch. Your pet's comfort stems from familiarity, so I ensure that nothing changes from their normal routine. I provide the same level of attentive care - regular exercise, plenty of affection, and constant supervision. I also maintain open communication throughout, sending updates and photos so you can see how well your pet is settling in and enjoying their time with me.

“Cosmo did such a great job with Mozey! From feeding to entertaining, Mozey loves him! In fact he gets excited when he sees Cosmo. We definitely trust Cosmo and will ask him back for sure!”

“Morgan was fabulous with my dog and cat! They were both given lots of attention and love while I was out of state. Morgan was also very flexible with changes as they arose. I will be using her again!”

Sam D.

“Krista did a great job looking after my cats while I was traveling. She communicated with me about them regularly and was very accommodating when discussing the possibility watching the cats a bit longer if my return flight was delayed. I would definitely recommend using her as a sitter and will use her again in the future.”

Sydney H.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter while we were away for two weeks! She took such terrific care of our cat and gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about our cat's comfort and well-being. We loved receiving updates and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Molly was great at communicating and you can tell she loves animals!”

Keara C.

“I was in town for a one-day fishing trip and found Kacie to take care of my dog. It was somewhat uneasy giving my dog over to someone I had never met. Kacie was awesome, great communication before and during the day. She was wonderful and I will definitely look her up again if I need to. Thank you!”

“Excellent dog walker. Sarah bonded with my dog right away. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was about seven years old. just started with feeding and helping my sister clean our hermit crabs tank. Ive also volunteered on and off at shelters in Montana, a couple times in Bozeman and a month or two in Helena. I've worked with geckos, horses, hermit crabs, cats, dogs, fish and other aquatic animals including small frogs and snails. I have school during the year for an hour in the morning, so I'm pretty free to take care of your beautiful animals or just hanging out with them! I will be able to take care of your pet in your house, I will bring myself some handmade treats if allowed for dogs or some churues for the kitties!

“Morgan was fantastic and patient with my dog. She's a bit protective and reactive and Morgan was very calm and understanding. Thank you!”
