House Sitting Vista

“We are very happy we had Katelyn watch our two dogs for a week! She was communicative, sent as many updates as we requested, kept the pups happy, and was very pleasant to work with. Perhaps the best surprise of all was coming home to our extremely clean home, washed towels/sheets/etc. - which was above and beyond our expectations. Katelyn made our vacation stress-free! We’d definitely suggest her for watching your pets :)”

Beth S.

“Karla is amazing! I am so thankful we found someone we can trust to stay at our home and watch our dog when we travel. She sends picture updates, is great with communication, spoils our girl while we are gone, and keeps our home fresh for when we return! Highly recommend her 😊”

Lindsay F.

“Our two pups liked Kimberly from the moment she walked thru the front door. We felt very comfortable having her at our home. When we returned the dogs were happy and our home was spotless. Very pleased”

Debbie T.

“Sue takes wonderful care of my dog! She is communicative, timely, and leaves the house just as she found it. I get pictures and cute updates. She is a gem and I am thrilled to have found her.”

Patrice H.

“Oh gosh where to start! She was amazing. Definitely wore the boys out which they LOVED. She even left the boys some toys and treats. Would definitely use Pricilla again!”

Cassidy W.

“Maddie was great to work with for our long weekend away! She was kind, patient, confident with our dogs, helped with the house and plants, and kept everyone happy and healthy! We would absolutely recommend Maddie for taking care of your pups - and we would definitely use her again in the future! Thank you!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’m the go-to sitter for friends because I genuinely love being around animals and put a lot of care into making sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable. During my psychology degree, I completed a minor in Animal-Assisted Interventions and Psychotherapy, focusing on animal behavior, emotional attunement, human-animal connection, and therapeutic support work. My own dog is a huge part of my life. She travels around the country with me and goes almost everywhere by my side. I personally trained her with therapy service dog foundations, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, structure, and reading a dog’s needs and body language. I’m currently building my own business, which I work on from home. Because of that, I spend the majority of my day at home with the dogs. Aside from the occasional errand, appointment, or outing, I’m rarely gone for long. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can prioritize the dogs in my care and provide them with the attention, supervision, companionship, enrichment, and exercise they deserve. Dogs are a huge part of my life, and because I care deeply about providing a safe, low-stress environment, I intentionally keep my boarding environment calm and structured. My goal is to give well-mannered dogs a place that feels like home, not a kennel. To make sure every dog, including my own dog Bennie, stays safe and happy, I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and lifestyle. The dogs I board must be friendly and non-aggressive toward people and other dogs, with no history of aggression, biting, resource guarding, or serious reactivity. They should also be comfortable sharing space with Bennie and enjoy appropriate, respectful play. Any signs of aggression or unsafe behavior during a stay may result in an early pickup request. Dogs must be fully house trained with no ongoing accidents indoors. I understand an occasional accident can happen in a new environment, but dogs that regularly mark, urinate, or defecate indoors are not a good fit. If repeated accidents occur during a stay, I may request early pickup. Dogs should be comfortable in a home environment without excessive or persistent barking. Occasional alert barking is understandable, but they must be responsive to redirection and not fixate on people, sounds, or movement outside the home. They should also be able to relax quietly indoors without excessive vocalizing, as I have neighbors and tenants I respect. Dogs that bark continuously when I leave or struggle to settle with normal household noise are not a good fit. Dogs should be able to stay home alone for short periods, such as while I run errands, without destructive behavior or severe separation anxiety. For safety, they should also ride comfortably in a vehicle if transportation is ever necessary, have reliable recall, and respect physical boundaries. Dogs with a history of escaping, climbing, or jumping fences are not a good fit for my property. Bennie is always at the top of my mind, and safety is my number one priority. I have a fully fenced, dog-proof yard with a secure gate that is always kept closed, along with cameras on the property to monitor for wildlife or anything unsafe outside. My back door is almost always open, allowing the dogs to freely move between playing in the yard and relaxing inside on the cool tile floor, so they can choose where they’re most comfortable throughout the day. Inside the home, I use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals. I’m very mindful of anything dogs could be sensitive to, including what they’re exposed to, what they play with, and what they’re given. I only use safe toys and bones that are appropriate and supervised. Chewing must be under control. I provide plenty of appropriate toys and chew options, but dogs that chew furniture, household items, or damage property may result in an early pickup request. I also reserve the right to request reimbursement for any damage or excessive cleaning caused during a stay. I spend most of my days at home working on my property, gardening, hiking, or enjoying the outdoors with Bennie, so visiting dogs receive plenty of companionship, supervision, enrichment, and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I carefully screen each booking to make sure it is the right fit for everyone involved. I understand these requirements may not fit every dog, and that’s okay. My goal is not to accommodate every pet. It is to provide exceptional care for dogs that thrive in a calm, structured home environment.

“We had such a great experience with Victoria! She did an amazing job taking care of our girls — they were so happy, calm, and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. She communicated extremely well the entire time, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. On top of that, she left the house spotless and super clean, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

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 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.

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. I send daily updates via text and follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and safe, kennel-free for comfort.

“Jessica was great! She sent us photos and videos while we were away and we were very comfortable leaving our animals in her care. We came back to very happy animals and a clean house. We will definitely have Jessica come back in the future!”

“Riley responded right away to my request to sit in our home with our puppy. He has separation anxiety and she knew how to handle him. She stopped by a couple of days ahead to learn our routine. She was very responsive and communicated when she would arrive before visiting. We would use Riley again as our sitter”

Charlene D.

“Christina was flexible and wonderful with our miniature poodle. Entertaining him and even taking him to the lake on a hot day. We would use her again without hesitation”
