Cat Sitting in West Gallatin

“Leslie is amazing with my kitty! My cat is cuddlier and sweeter when I come home after Leslie has taken care of her. Definitely recommend for all your fur babies’ needs! Lots of photos and great updates with every visit.”

“Our cat Theo loves Abby and we were glad to have her watch him while we were out of town. He had been very anxious the last few weeks but we returned to a calm and happy cat!! She always shows so much love and care for him.”

“Taylor did a great job dropping in to care for our senior cats! Their care instructions are fairly detailed and Taylor had no problem rising to the occasion, and sending us adorable pictures along the way. Would highly recommend Taylor for your pet care!”

“Ana took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town! She was attentive and communicative, and I think our cat appreciated her gentle approach.”

About: A MEET & GREET is highly recommended for dogs who are hesitant with kids, men, cats, other dogs, etc as I want to ensure that your pet(s) are comfortable with me and my family. I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was pretty young. I got asked to house sit quite a bit and to also watch them in our home. I’ve done dog grooming off and on and I used to work as a certified veterinary assistant and I was training to do more veterinary technician work. During my time of employment, I was fear free (Level 3) certified, meaning I had the training to assess my patient’s (dogs and cats) fear, anxiety, and stress levels by observing their symptoms and behaviors then I would come up with a plan on what I can do to help alleviate their symptoms. Even though my certification isn’t active anymore, I still watch for signs of fear, anxiety, and stress in dogs and cats and practice what I’ve learned. I still put my training to good use and use those techniques to help alleviate their symptoms and behaviors. I was at that time going to school to earn my A.A.S degree in veterinary technology. When I had my first son, I decided to stay home. I now have 3 kids and still stay home full time. I know it can be stressful to board your dogs at boarding facilities, that’s why I want to help people out by watching their dogs in my home either as overnight stays or as a “doggie daycare”. During the day when you work long hours and don’t want to leave your dog(s) home alone, I want people to rest assured their dogs are being well taken care of. I’m not like a boarding facility where dogs are placed in runs and kennels. My family and I provide a friendly family setting with lots of attention, structure, basic “good manners” training, enrichment, and exercise in our home. I’m more than comfortable with having 2 extra dogs in my care. We’re an active family with active kids. I want to offer a strong balance between play time, socialization, and teaching basic commands this is especially important in puppies. All dogs thrive on having enrichment meaning mental and physical stimulation such as exercise, play time with other dogs, and toys such as kongs, balls, ropes, etc. Having active kids makes it nice to take walks so I can definitely take your dogs for walks. Depending on owners and dogs we can visit dog parks as well. I won’t take them there unless I have your permission. For scheduled dog walks and drop ins, I would prefer to stay in the Belgrade/Four Corners area as my kids come with me and it’s easier to stay close to home. As they get older I will expand the distance for those services. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own. All of them love other animals which makes things so easy for other dogs! My dogs love to play and chase each other around. My cat loves being around dogs too. Trust me, when your dog is here with me they won’t be bored. They always say a tired dog is a happy dog. I will also be offering grooming services such as baths, blow outs with a force air dryer (really helps get that undercoat out), brushing, trimming, shaving, nail trims and more. Just ask me for more details! Due to me being home full time, I have the perfect schedule for being around your beloved dogs all day. I may be a busy mama but taking care of other animals is no problem at all. I thoroughly enjoy it. I want to be able to help my clients in any way I can and make necessary accommodations. Due to the amount of services I offer, my available spots will be limited per day so I can make sure every animal gets the attention they need and deserve. I have a large fenced yard and dogs are allowed on the furniture. The more the merrier. We can do walks around my neighborhood. If I need to run an errand I can take them with me or I can keep them at home and make sure everything is locked up. I have crates as well for extra safety. Sometimes dogs can get into mischief when people are gone. Safety is my top priority!

“We rebooked Katie to watch our dog and she did amazing yet again! We are so thankful that we do not have to worry while we are away because we know he is in great care.”

“Trena went above and beyond to take excellent care of my 2 cats. I would HIGHLY recommend booking her for your pets! She is attentive, timely, and communicative which put me at ease while we were away.”

“Taylor has always had a great love of animals, small to large. And they seem to love him too. Whether talking to his fish or helping tend cows he is patient and gentle. Taylor is a lover of four-legged creatures, spending time playing, walking, caring for their needs, sitting and cuddling with them. As a delivery driver a highlight of his day was coming to a home with a dog, taking the time to love on them and often provide a treat. Taylor is dependable, thorough, accurate and loyal. He is definitely someone I trust with the care of my special family member.”

“Tara has been a life saver over the past 10 years! My Frenchton and Jug always have a second home to go to when I am out of town, many times on the last moment. She loves them as her own and when I'm away I feel very secure knowing they are happy and safe. I would recommend her highly to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

“Thank you for looking after her. I am glad she warmed up to you quickly. She must have been content because she didn't even meet me at the garage door as usual but hanging close now. Thank you for brushing her.”

“I have know Sage for years and worked very closely with her at a Vet hospital. I’ve seen first hand her dedication and compassion when it comes to caring for animals. She is incredibly responsible and is one of the few in this world I trust to watch pets.”

About: I grew up in Washington with labs my whole life and I feel like time spent around dogs is what I’m missing here in Montana. I have watched a few of my friends dogs in the past, ranging different sizes. I would love to take your dog(s) for a walk! I currently work full time Mon- Friday, with time available after work or on weekends through the day. Would love to incorporate more animals in to my life since I cannot adopt anymore lol! Both of my cats are indoors and escape artists, so I am used to being very careful and attentive. I understand it is nerve wracking to have someone else watch over your pets and hope that they don’t escape their sight. I promise to do my very best to provide an attentive, loving, friendly approach with your animals.

“Megan was wonderful! She went above and beyond to care for my dog and cat. I highly recommend her for all your fur baby needs!”

“CJ did a great job taking care of our two cats and house. She did some extra things I asked and I really appreciated that. She kept in touch with pictures and told us how cats were doing. We already have her booked for our next trip! Highly recommend CJ for your pet sitting needs!”

“Got cute pictures & updates; everything was left in good order. Kamryn responds quickly & is very responsible & punctual!”

“Jenna is the best! This is my second time using her services and she is so kind, caring, and diligent. She even stayed an extra day when my flight was delayed. You know your fluffballs are in good hands with her!”

“Melissa was amazing, she watched our two dogs last minute and was so sweet with them.”

About: I have worked with animals since I was 7 or 8. Whether that be dog or cat, horse or cattle, I love all animals and want to make sure animals are engaged and well cared for. I am currently a full college student and a part time baker at a grocery store. I am available MWF before 10:30 am and after 4 pm. Tuesdays after 2 pm. I am available most Saturdays and Sundays. I pay attention to how the dog is interacting with me and the environment to make sure the dog is comfortable and not pushed into anything stressful. I also make sure that the dog is always able to be hydrated and cool if the weather is warm, and how to accommodate if it's cold.

“Jael was so great with our two cats while we were out of town. Highly recommend her!!”
