“Lisa was amazing! She took delicate care of my senior Yorkie! We received consistent updates and photos. And my dog clearly seemed more relaxed when I got him back then when I dropped him off. I would 100% rebook with her.”
“Alyssa is truly incredible! We fully trusted her with the care of our dog for 2 nights and 3 days while we went to explore the east side of Glacier National Park! She continuously sent me photos and updates of how she was doing and our dog loved playing with her dog! I could not recommend Alyssa enough, she is incredibly nice, thoughtful, great at communicating and I feel lucky to have found someone to trust taking care of our dog ☺️”
“Andy was great with our elderly dog Jack. We got regular photos and updates and he was very flexible with last min drop off and pick up times. Thanks Andy!”
“Morgan was fantastic with my pup. She was available last minute and flexible with drop-off and pick up times which made going to glacier park a lot less stressful. Communication was amazing, as she sent me pictures of my pup having fun throughout the day. The fenced in backyard and her dogs were and added bonus because my.pup came back to me tired so we both could.easily go to bed that night after a long day of hiking for me. I would def reach out to Morgan again when I'm in the area. Thanks!”
“My dog Remi suffers from separation anxiety and I was nervous about leaving her alone in a new place with people she had not previously become familiar with, but she instantly felt very comfortable with McKenzie and her pups. Remi ran around in Mckenzie's front yard doing her "happy dance", which she only does when spending time with people she really likes, when it was time for her to leave. McKenzie is a terrific dog sitter and highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Sophie was great! Very friendly and provided excellent care for our dog, Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving for 9 days because we knew she was in good hands. Sophie was responsive and made drop off and pickup easy. We appreciated the large fenced in yard and inviting home. We’d definitely use her again. Thank you!”
“If I could give ten stars I would. Both my dogs ended up being really challenging during this visit and Genevieve handled it all with such kindness and consideration. My dogs couldn’t have been better taken care of and I’m deeply grateful. Excellent communication, excellent care!”
“Whitney & her fiancé did a great job watching Simba. He enjoyed meeting new friends, playing in their yard, & was well taken care of. We’d definitely use them again, if we are ever in the area & need boarding.”
“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!”
“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!
“10/10! Shannon was an incredible caretaker for my dog while I was out of town. She was extremely responsive, sent so many picture updates and eased my mind regarding any concerns I had leaving my pup. I’m pretty sure my dog is currently missing their house and is sad that I came back lol. I will absolutely be using Shannon again for any sitting needs I have in the future!”
“Naim was very responsive to iur needs for a dog sitter. He reassured us with his own calm dog and he treated Mika as one of his family. He sent photos and videos and overall took great care of our pup. We are very appreciative!”
“Kelly was AMAZING! So great with communication. She took our pup to play/swim in the river while we enjoyed the sights at Glacier National Park. We got daily updates with pictures. I whole heartedly recommend her. It’s also great that she’s a dog trainer as she had some helpful tips for us as well. Thanks Kelly!”
“Alaina and her husband took great care of my dog while out of town. They are very friendly, respond quickly and have dogs of their own who got along with mine. She sent photos and updates daily. I will use them again.”
“Sue is the absolute best, and I can't recommend her highly enough. I'm crazy about my two medium-sized high energy brother-sister rescue dogs who are usually nervous around people, and I have no worries when they're with Sue. They immediately settled in and clearly felt comfortable at her place. The love her fenced backyard and going on long leash walks walks her. One of my pups takes a medication that is critical to receive at the same time every day, and Sue always remembers to give it to her and keeps us updated when she does. She also sends updates throughout the day, which I love! It puts my mind at ease and I always know they're in good hands. Five stars all around!”

“So grateful for Sloan! She was punctual, professional and showed our cat Beans so much love and attention. I felt very comfortable leaving our social cat in her care. She is reliable, and I'd highly recommend her!”
“Courtney was great! My cat has separation anxiety as well as other health issues that require medication. Courtney spent a lot of time with my cat and gave him is medicine. In short, my cat didn't even miss me...which is a good thing!”
“Karla was amazing! Followed all directions, very quick to respond in the chat, asked all the important questions, and made sure my 4 babies were cared for on the 4th of July (which is a very scary day for puppies.) I will absolutely be booking with Karla again!”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for my cat Gimli. She sent me photo (and funny video) updates about Gimli almost every day after asking if I want to receive frequent updates. She responded promptly, was super flexible about key pickup/dropoff, and even checked in on Gimli an extra time for free because she felt that he was feeling really lonely. I'm never going to use another cat sitter again! Jessica, you seriously rock!”

About: I am an eternal animal lover. Growing up with numerous animals around, I cherish their company and find our mutually beneficial relationships necessary.

I treat every animal like they are my own family and will always make sure they have the care they want and need. My schedule is being created here and I just moved back. My jobs are always part time and allow me lots of freedom to prioritize what I enjoy (animals and nature). I am very fluid and open and put free time first. Well of course it depends on what is needed for each individual. To be general, I make sure that I am attentive to details in your animals' behavior, changes in their environment to make sure there isn't any problems popping up. Checking their stool, food/water intake, etc. I treat them like they're my friend. I am sensitive to their needs and that usually looks like a welcoming and loving attitude. I treat your home and furry family with love.

“Kaitlyn was a wonderful sitter. As a first experience with a cat sitting service, everything could not have gone more smoothly. Kaitlyn quickly responded to all my inquires before and during her house sitting. She provided pictures and positive feedback whenever I requested an update. My 2 little girls were obviously happy and well taken care of during her stay. I highly recommend her!”

“Jazmine had a wonderful time with Genevieve and her family! Communication was clear and seamless throughout the entire stay, and both drop-off and pick-up were easy and convenient. We truly appreciated the excellent care Jazmine received and look forward to booking with Genevieve again.”
“Lisa is super sweet and I could tell right away that my dogs loved her. She was inviting from the moment we went to do a meet & greet. When we got there for the boarding, she made sure to ask questions & listen. During our time away I received daily updates & pictures of my happy boys! Well definitely be booking with her again!”
“Our dog stayed with Sophie for the day while we went to Glacier National Park. Everything worked out perfectly. Our dog was well taken care of in their home with a large fenced back yard. Our dog came back home happy and tired from a very fun day. We would certainly have her watch our dog anytime.”
“Mykenzie has an amazing fenced in yard and home. My Bianca is advanced in her years and set in her ways, but was totally comfortable. She had the best time, and I also got some beautiful photos of her as a bonus. Thank you for taking great care of her Mykenzie.”
“Alaina was absolutely fantastic with our dog. She is so kind, sent photos and videos, and was an excellent communicator. We would 10/10 recommend Alaina and happily have her watch our dog again!”
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.
“Kelly was fantastic in accommodating our early drop off time so we could get into Glacier National Park early to find parking. We were worried about leaving our rescue dog all day for the first time since we got him a few months ago, but Kelly was great to talk through everything with us. She's also very knowledgeable about pittie breeds like ours, so that was also reassuring. She took great care of King, and he was worn out from the hiking and river time by the time we picked him up, which was great since we were tired too and all went to bed early! Kelly has a great secured property for dogs to roam and explore. Would definitely recommend her to anyone else looking to leave their dogs with a responsible qualified dog sitter/boarder!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Whitney was absolutely incredible! She was very knowledgeable and confident in taking in our two dogs for daycare while we enjoyed Glacier National Park for three days. Whitney is conveniently located super close to the West Entrance so if you’re going to the park and need someone to watch your fur baby then look no further.”
“Morgan is so loving and I adore her sweet updates on cute things my Shitzhu does! The way she talks to him and cares for him makes me feel like they treat him like one of their own and not just someone else’s pet. That means so much especially with a dog who normally gets separation anxiety.”
“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!”
“We were blessed to find Tiffany with availability just one day prior to us needing her services. We were visiting Glacier National Park and traveled in our 5th wheel RV with our 2 Border Collies. We wanted to take some hikes in the park which no dogs are allowed on trails. Tiffany cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She provided photos with updates throughout the day. She has a fenced in backyard, 2 dogs of her own, and had 2 other dogs in her care. All the dogs got along with one another and our fur babies had a fun day which helped us to have a fun day! I highly recommend Tiffany and would use her again! Thank you for the ❤️ loving care. 😁”
“Thank you so much, Deanna, for taking such great care of Bolt! We know he’s not the easiest pup to look after—being just 1 year old and full of energy—but you did a wonderful job. We truly appreciate all the pictures and videos you sent. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and having a great time. This was our first time sending Bolt to doggy daycare, and we were honestly a bit nervous at first. But you and your team made the experience so smooth and reassuring. Special thanks also to Shauna for consistently keeping us updated and communicating with us. Even though we weren’t always able to respond right away, you still continued to send messages and updates, which meant a lot to us. We’re so grateful for the love and care you gave to Bolt.”
“Working with Sarah was a pleasure. She was responsive to arrangements and questions. Sarah arrived on time and immediately our dogs both loved her. They were well cared for while we were away from our campsite on a whitewater rafting trip. If you need someone to look after your pups while you hike or raft in Glacier then she’s the person you should choose!”
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.

“Thank you so much! It was such a relief to be able to go spend the day on the lake and know that our buddy was taken care of! Your communication from start to finish was awesome. We came back to a happy dog!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs of all sizes for as long as I can remember. I grew up with large breeds like Bullmastiffs, Neapolitan Mastiffs, and Cane Corsos, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs. My family has also taken in dogs with reactivity issues, which has given me patience and experience working with dogs that need a little extra understanding and structure. I currently have a senior mastiff mix with three legs, so I’m confident caring for dogs with different abilities and special needs. While I specialize in dogs, I absolutely love cats as well and have experience caring for them. I understand they often need a gentler, more patient approach and I’m happy to provide that. I currently have full availability everyday while I wait for my new job to begin. This includes housesitting and overnights on weekdays and weekends! Also, I am available for quick check-in’s or walks through the week. I care for all pets as if they are my own. I will go at their pace whether that means they want to play all day, or do their own thing! Whatever I am instructed to do by you, the owner, is how I will proceed.
About: Studied for a year with Animal Behavorial College. Lived on a small ranch in Whitefish, loving and caring for, horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, sheep and cows. I am recently retired from 22 years at Montana Coffee Traders. Current schedule is wide open and look forward to caring for your special friends. I can be versatile. I can care for your pets in your home or mine. I have a good-sized fenced backyard and two dogs that love company. I live close to the dog park for off leash free running fun or put them on a leash and let them experience the sights and smells of downtown.
About: Need a reliable, caring, and energetic dog walker? I treat every pup like my own, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long adventure, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I work remotely so whenever anything is needed I’ll be around! I live in Whitefish and do love to go skiing but I’m very flexible! I have years of experience with all types of dogs especially pit bulls and know how to approach any situation with caution for my saftey and the dogs.
About: Hi there! I'm Kim, a 44 year-old Physical Therapist. I am active and love to hike, bike, skin the mountain & cross country ski - and would enjoy taking your dog on any adventure, big or small. I love dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages; and will care for your pet like it is my own. I grew up with Annie-Belle, an orange Tabby cat who hopped our fence and was never claimed by her previous owners. In my adult life I adopted Kayla, a Siberian Husky mix who adventured with me for 18 lucky years. I have not yet found a new pet of my own, but greatly enjoy the time I get to spend with client’s furry friends. Recently, I have also been housesitting and caring for the gardens for patients of mine while they are on vacation, with or without pets. Please contact me with any questions you might have, or to schedule a meet and greet! Over my years in the Flathead Valley I have developed repeat customers that I enjoy interacting with, and look forward to caring for their pets and homes whenever requested as well as meeting new clients. I am available for long-term gigs as well. I can provide as many updates as pictures as you desire while your pets are in my care. I am currently in between Physical Therapy jobs thus have wide availability for the immediate future. I rent at my home and landlords do not allow dogs, so I come to you for doggy day care, overnights, long stays, etc. I am very cautious while petsitting. Even if owners say their dog is ok off leash I at least leash them in the parking lot to load/unload and wait until a quarter mile away from the parking lot to unleash. Not worth the risk of the unknown, especially before you’re certain a dog trusts you and will respond to your commands. I will treat and care for your pets and home like they are my own.
“Jessica responded quickly to my request for dog walking, and was quick to reply to all my messages. She was friendly, professional, and prompt. When she met my shy rescue dog, it was clear that she had a lot of good experience working with dogs and animals, and that she is a genuine dog lover. My dog warmed to her immediately, where she usually needs some time to get to know someone before trusting them completely. Jessica sent me photos daily, and my husband (who works late) said he could tell that our happy dog had gotten some good exercise and a walk when he got home. I would recommend Jessica without hesitation and will likely request her again in the future.”
About: Hi, my name is Shaima and I’ve had dogs my whole life! Big and small, to fluffy or almost hairless. I’ve been training my own dogs since the young age of 10, with the help of dog training tv shows! Also, I’ve been dog sitting my sisters two beautiful pit bulls for years, as she’s an avid traveler. I’m always up for whatever your dogs want to do! They want to play fetch? Awesome. Want to go for a walk? Be my guest. Nap time? You can never take too many naps. I’m sure I can give your special little pup the most love and attention. I never met a dog I didn’t love! I hope you will pick me to care for your beloved four legged friends.
About: I am a fun, energetic, and charismatic 22 year old who has been taking care of friend's and family's animals practically my whole life! I have a passion for 4 legged friends and would love to meet your pups (or kitties!) and get a chance to care for them when you are unavailable! I currently am working part time and I have a fairly open schedule and am always super flexible! If you have needs I will do my best to fit my schedule around them! Though I am no certified dog trainer, I have had animals my whole life and I know how much they mean to a person or a family. I will treat your pet like my own and do my best to follow any instructions you have for me! I have been known as a rule follower and a high achiever so I take pride in doing things well, and this work ethic doesn't fall short of the standards I hold myself to when taking care of your furry little friends:)
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.
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. I’m experienced with dogs’ needs, from managing separation anxiety to maintaining feeding routines to administering medications. My pet-proofed home has no toxic plants, and I offer a cozy space for naps and play. I can send daily photo and video updates to keep you connected. As a background-checked sitter, I prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. Whether it’s kennel-free dog boarding, walking, or house sitting in Kalispell, I’m here to give your dog tailored care. Contact me to discuss your pup’s needs and arrange a meet-and-greet! Services: Boarding (Limited Basis): $80/night (includes lots of supervised playtime outside, feeding and cuddles).

Dog Walking: $25/30-minute walk (1–2 dogs). Daycare: $45/day (drop-off care for small/medium/large dogs up to 9 hours. Overtime rate $20/hr.) Experience: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, like Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Pomeranians, German Pointers, English Pointers, German Shepherds, Labs, lovable mutts, cats and even horses, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I apply César Millan’s techniques to maintain calm, balanced behaviors and ensure a happy stay. I’m comfortable with special diets and reinforcing training. Availability: See schedule for availability. Boarding available on weekends and select weekdays (book early for holidays). Drop-ins, walks, and daycare offered Monday–Friday, 6 AM–9 PM. House sitting by request. Safety: My acre of land features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed for safety. I send daily updates and follow your pup’s routine to keep them comfortable. My mom and 23 year old son, both avid dog lovers, live with me and will be here for those short times I have to be away. I'm currently working part time and the calendar will reflect my availability. When I am pet-sitting in my home, my mom and 23 year old son who both live with me, will be available if I need to go to an appointment. As I mentioned in my bio, my 1.26-acre property features a secure, fully fenced backyard, and my home is pet-proofed with no toxic plants.

“Kaitlyn took great care of Blue over several walks while we were away. He was well looked after and Kaitlyn was a pleasure to schedule with as well as completely reliable and very communicative during the week. Will book again, thank you, Kaitlyn!”
“She was great with both our boys! One who is a very energetic golden retriever and one who is a calm sheepdog. She walked both of them and even offered to feed them before she left since we were out of town. Did a great job!”
“Lauren was great to work with. She sent me multiple updates through out our booking and included pictures of Belle. We arrived home from our trip, to a content dog and you could tell she got a lot of lovin' from Lauren. Lauren was laid back, punctual, trustworthy, and very kind to our furchild. Will book with her again!”

“Alyssa is truly incredible! We fully trusted her with the care of our dog for 2 nights and 3 days while we went to explore the east side of Glacier National Park! She continuously sent me photos and updates of how she was doing and our dog loved playing with her dog! I could not recommend Alyssa enough, she is incredibly nice, thoughtful, great at communicating and I feel lucky to have found someone to trust taking care of our dog ☺️”
“Andy was great with our elderly dog Jack. We got regular photos and updates and he was very flexible with last min drop off and pick up times. Thanks Andy!”
“Morgan was fantastic with my pup. She was available last minute and flexible with drop-off and pick up times which made going to glacier park a lot less stressful. Communication was amazing, as she sent me pictures of my pup having fun throughout the day. The fenced in backyard and her dogs were and added bonus because my.pup came back to me tired so we both could.easily go to bed that night after a long day of hiking for me. I would def reach out to Morgan again when I'm in the area. Thanks!”
“My dog Remi suffers from separation anxiety and I was nervous about leaving her alone in a new place with people she had not previously become familiar with, but she instantly felt very comfortable with McKenzie and her pups. Remi ran around in Mckenzie's front yard doing her "happy dance", which she only does when spending time with people she really likes, when it was time for her to leave. McKenzie is a terrific dog sitter and highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Sophie was great! Very friendly and provided excellent care for our dog, Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving for 9 days because we knew she was in good hands. Sophie was responsive and made drop off and pickup easy. We appreciated the large fenced in yard and inviting home. We’d definitely use her again. Thank you!”
“If I could give ten stars I would. Both my dogs ended up being really challenging during this visit and Genevieve handled it all with such kindness and consideration. My dogs couldn’t have been better taken care of and I’m deeply grateful. Excellent communication, excellent care!”
“Whitney & her fiancé did a great job watching Simba. He enjoyed meeting new friends, playing in their yard, & was well taken care of. We’d definitely use them again, if we are ever in the area & need boarding.”
“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!”
“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!
“Naim was very responsive to iur needs for a dog sitter. He reassured us with his own calm dog and he treated Mika as one of his family. He sent photos and videos and overall took great care of our pup. We are very appreciative!”
“Kelly was AMAZING! So great with communication. She took our pup to play/swim in the river while we enjoyed the sights at Glacier National Park. We got daily updates with pictures. I whole heartedly recommend her. It’s also great that she’s a dog trainer as she had some helpful tips for us as well. Thanks Kelly!”
“Sue is the absolute best, and I can't recommend her highly enough. I'm crazy about my two medium-sized high energy brother-sister rescue dogs who are usually nervous around people, and I have no worries when they're with Sue. They immediately settled in and clearly felt comfortable at her place. The love her fenced backyard and going on long leash walks walks her. One of my pups takes a medication that is critical to receive at the same time every day, and Sue always remembers to give it to her and keeps us updated when she does. She also sends updates throughout the day, which I love! It puts my mind at ease and I always know they're in good hands. Five stars all around!”
“Shauna was great. She has a fantastic fenced back yard with lots of shady spots to hang out. From the first moment we met it was very clear to me that Shauna truly loves dogs! I was very pleased and will most certainly have her sit Tucker again. Thank you Shauna.”
“Tiffany was A++++! What a warm lovely person. She sent great photos, took our dog for multiple walks, a visit to a dog park and more. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!”
