Dog Walking West

About: Hi! I am a big dog lover and love caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! I know that every furry friend is unique. I have extensive experience with dog care as I grew up with them and began caring for them at a young age. I work a part time job that does take me away from care for several hours during the day. If your pet requires lots of attention/visits throughout the day I might not be the best person for the job :) I am a full time graduate student. I am available mornings, afternoons and nights as well as full time on the weekends. Each semester gives me a different schedule but I generally have time for a lunch break to swing by and give some pets and a quick walk. Let me know what your pet needs and I will put in my best efforts to make it work! I do not have my own home available for sitting however I am comfortable staying overnight with your pet. I am flexible for you and your pets needs. Let me know your preferences and I will accompany them!

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals. My first job was at a dog boarding facility where I prepared food and medications, cleaned kennels, bathed and groomed dogs, and took them on walks. I’ve also pet-sat for family friends for weeks at a time, caring for a variety of animals—including a pig once! In addition to my professional experience, I have two small Chihuahuas of my own, so I understand how important individualized care, patience, and attention to detail can be. Above all, I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. As a resident manager, I have the flexibility to bring my own dogs with me throughout the day. I split my time between my apartment and my office, which has a private living space attached, allowing me to provide frequent supervision and attention. There is also a large park directly behind my workplace, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Your pup will receive lots of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day, whether I’m working or at home. At home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I live in the downtown area, which gives us lots of opportunities for walks, fresh air, and mental stimulation. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of toys, treats, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs and routine. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel happy, secure, and right at home while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of many pets in my neighborhood and for my family. I have been left to bathe, feed, walk and hang out with many peoples lovable animals. I have experience with both big and small dogs, cats, fish, bunnies and even reptiles. Nervous about leaving your pets with a stranger? I would absolutely be willing to send you videos or pictures of your pets throughout the day/on walks so you can have piece of mind that they are having a wonderful time. I work full time Monday-Thursday but other than my job I am completely free to watch animals, housesit, and walk dogs! If one of my day is marked unavailable and you need a walker that day please don’t hesitate to ask, I may be able to make it work! I have such a love for animals and am sad that I can’t own a zoo. If I could I would adopt so many animals. I treat every animal I’m entrusted with like they are my own. If you decide on my care, I promise your animals will be in great hands! I currently own 2 rabbits and a kitten, but I grew up owning dogs, cats and fish.

“Highly recommend Rachel, she was very attentive to our pup.”

About: Animal lover with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses for friends, family, and employers. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. My experience includes feeding, walking, exercising, administering basic care, cleaning, overnight stays, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone’s animals, and I always treat every pet like they are my own. I am currently working patr-time on Mondays, so I have plenty of time the rest of the week to spend taking care of loved animals. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special instructions to help keep their schedule consistent and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect the space, keep things clean and secure, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and affection. I carefully monitor pets during walks and outdoor time to ensure their safety at all times. I also have experience caring for multiple types of animals, including dogs, cats, and horses, and I am comfortable with pets of different ages, temperaments, and activity levels. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind through dependable care and communication.

About: I have cared for pets of my own and for neighbors and friends for years. I am comfortable with different sizes and temperaments. I also have experience caring for diabetic dogs, including consistent feeding schedules and medication. I am home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I can provide consisten walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. On walks, I prioritize safety by staying attentive, avoiding unsafe situations, and making sure dogs get the exercise and care they need at a pace that is comfortable for them. Caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping routine with animals and keeping the owners updated while they are away.

“Ron is kind and good with animals”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. I love their personalities and snuggling and playing with them. I also love cats! They’re so sweet if you let them be. I currently have a kitten I know a bit about how to take care of all of the age ranges of your baby. I’m currently working at Mackenzie river with varying shifts but I always have Mondays and Tuesdays off. So I’d be able to do drop by visits most days and full day care early in the week I am very good at following any directions given to me, and if there are none then I will gladly play it by ear and see if your pet wants to play, eat, snuggle, anything.

“Morgan has been reliable and great for my dog!”

About: I love dogs, and believe that the more we have, the merrier. My two dogs rule my house and always want more friends. I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remotely and have plenty of time for taking care of dogs - including daily hikes on the trails just next to my house I have a large fenced yard and two delightful, social, playful dogs. Dogs get daily walks, lots of treats and as much couch time as they want

About: I have grown up living in the country with cats, dogs, chickens, and sheep. Currently, I have a 15 year old dog (puggle) and a cat. I have experience providing medication and senior care. I minored in Carroll College's canine track learning how to provide basic training for dogs. I work full-time from 8am to 330pm. I have the ability to come home on lunch if a pet needs to be let out or taken on a walk. I am home every afternoon and enjoy taking walks. I prefer to have communication to know what your pets individualized care. As I get to know someone I will strive to provide the care that is expected, provide top quality, and treat your pet as my own. My pets are like my family and I would aim to treat your pet the same. I enjoy going on walks, providing lots of pets, and taking time to connect with your pet.

“Jessica is absolutely wonderful!! An obvious lover of dags - my puppy adored having her come over and give him walks while I was gone. She was super communicative and I loved getting a visual of the route she walked with him and a cute picture of him after each walk, too. ? I'll definitely use her services again!”

About: I have had animals in my life ever since I was 4 years old. I'm pretty new to Rover, but have been petsitting by word of mouth since 2020! I've done extensive research on pets and what kind of care they prefer, what kind of diets are healthiest for them, and all the details that bridge the gap between their domestication and their primal instincts. I will provide loving care to dogs, cats, and other small animals like birds, hamsters, rabbits etc, and I will leave your house in just as good, if not better, condition than I found it! I work full time, but my schedule at work is incredibly flexible, so I am available on weekdays and weekends. I can take animals on walks if needed, or just be there to feed them and let them out daily. I am very flexible in terms of what services I offer, as it depends on what services you need! I can come and petsit at your house, and I can spend the night if you don't want your fluffy friends to get lonely. I can board for certain pets but not all, as I have a very picky cat of my own, so it is best to message me directly about what you are looking for!

About: I have spent 25 years working boarding, dog walking, and pet sitting, 6 years working in local vet clinics, and 12 years as a professional dog trainer. Im comfortable working with dogs that have behavioral needs and any age. I have experience with many breeds and temperaments. I take dogs for hikes as an alternative and more fulfilling daycare option. We hike for about an hour. I may or may not take other dogs along. If your dog needs solo attention I may charge more - depending on interest and availability. I can off leash train your dog using humane e-collar methods. I can also hike your dog on a leash - its just not as fun or fulfilling. My personal dogs may or may not get to come along. You have to understand that they are working dogs. They help me with my training business. I’m very careful about the dogs that I allow them around. I send lots of pictures and videos so you can see that your pup is happy and enjoying themselves. I work on your dogs recall and general manners while they are out and about. I am moving to Helena from Minnesota in May. I don’t have an exact address yet… coming soon…. Im self employed as a dog trainer so Im pretty much home 24-7. My life is pet care. My favorite is spending time with dogs in nature. I care for your dogs as if they were my own. I will ensure their needs are met and that they are happy and healthy.

About: I’ve had many animas throughout my life, including horses, dogs, cats and more! I’ve worked at a pet care facility and love giving every animal interactive play! I also enjoy photography! If anyone is looking to get professional photos or even just some nice ones of their pets there’s no extra charge just let me know! I also have cleaning experience! Any home I will be staying at will stay neatly and I will clean upon request with supply’s provided 💜 I’m currently looking to get back into meeting new animals and helping care for your furry friends! I’ve always loved animals and miss working with them at my past job at a local animal facility! I’ve administered meds, followed specific dietary guidelines, and have had experience training dogs! I have personally had animals that prefer to stay separate from other pets and people. This meaning I have experience with different body languages, I have also studied animal behavior to better understand my own pets!

“Lily did great! It was the first time hiring someone to help with my dogs...I needed them walked each morning while they stayed with my neighbor. She showed up on time, the dogs got their regular morning routine, and I got updates which helped me not be so nervous! Thank you Lily xoxo”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little as we always had at least 2 dogs and a cat in our home. Throughout my life I have taken care of animals of every size, shape, and age! I grew up with boxers and German Shepards, and indoor/outdoor cats. All three of my dogs are medical rescues, so I have vast experience caring for dogs with extra needs. My oldest dog is an 8 year old Corgi/Beagle mix, the middle is a 4 year old Pitbull, and our newest pack member is a 1 year old XL mix. She is an even split of Cane Corso/Ptibull/Rottweiler/Great Dane/ Presa Canerio, so I am well adjusted to very big friends. She came to us with severe mange and eye defects, and now has severe colitis. Her situation has helped me become a pro with medications, injections, and baths! In addition to my own fur babies I have watched over 50 different dogs in my recent years. I come from a large family and within just my immediate family there are 9 dogs! I have cared for freshly born puppies (0 days until they were 8 weeks) and geriatric dogs, as our recently passed dog was 15 years old. I love every animal I meet like they are my own and know how important it is to find the right person to have around your babies. I work in the operating room so I am a medical professional who is completely unfazed by anything dogs could throw at me! Whether it is meds, blood, or their own bodily doings, I can handle it all. I work on a 4 day, 10 hour shift schedule so I have plenty of days to help take care of your babies! On my three days off I have completely availability to make sure I am with them a proper amount of time. In our home our dogs are completely spoiled. They have 2 acres of fenced in land to play on, with a pool, rope tugs on strong trees, and multiple sprinklers to go crazy with. While I will not be offering services at my own home, I will make sure to bring the fun to your pets when I am with them. If they aren’t super into playing, I will make sure to give them all of the love and cuddles they desire! I look forward to meeting them and catering my care to their individual needs. If anything of concern ever happens I will call you immediately and happily provide them the care you see best fit.
