Dog Walking In Westside

About: I work part‑time and have a very flexible weekly routine, which means I’m able to spend extended, consistent time with pets throughout the day. I’m usually home for large stretches of the morning and early afternoon, and I keep my schedule intentionally open so I can prioritize walks, playtime, and companionship. My home is close to town, and I don’t have a long commute or rigid office hours. How I found my first Cat! When I was in middle school; I found my first cat through a local shelter. I was so committed to giving her a safe and loving home that I created a full slideshow explaining how I would care for her and presented it to my parents. That experience taught me responsibility & empathy . Since then, my dedication to helping animals has only grown, and I’m eager to bring that same level of care, initiative, and compassion to a shelter team. Pet care is part of my daily routine; I schedule structured walks, maintain consistent feeding and play times, and provide attentive house‑sitting throughout the week. I’m an extremely outdoors‑focused person; long walks with any animal are my daily reset. In both my home and clients’ homes, I provide dependable, attentive care through structured walking routines and responsible, detail‑oriented house‑sitting.

“Molly is the the best sort of human - communicative, responsible and kind. Winston can be fearful and anxious, and Molly’s patience with him is endless. We feel so relieved she makes room in her busy life to tend to him in our absence. Thank you, Molly!”

About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets throughout my early teens up to the present. I have taken care of mostly dogs and cats but have cared for lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I have trained my two dogs commands like sit, down, shake and wait. As a sitter/walker I will love spending time with your pets, as I miss my family‘s pets that are in my home town! I am a full time pharmacy student at the University of Montana so my falls and springs are pretty busy with class. However I will always make time to spend time with the pet(s) when I can. I will always try and make time for a daily walk if taking care of dogs and spend time playing with cats. Back at home I have two dogs and a cat. So I know that trash should be securely placed and poop should be picked up regularly in the yard and in public areas. I love my pets at home and show them lots of affection and love and I hope the people watching would do this too.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in their homes for many years taking care of young to senior animals needing medicine. Having a fur baby of my own I understand how anxiety inducing it can be when their parents are out of town. I am gentle and attentive to fur friends as a guest in their home, while also respecting their varying social needs. My goal is to keep your loved one’s routine as close as possible to normal while their humans are away. I am self-employed and have a flexible work schedule. I am available to work with pet routines throughout the day, and can accommodate overnight stays if needed. Depending on your fur baby’s needs, I can come visit for meal time, walks, or if they need medication. I can also spend more general time in their home with them if they have more social needs.

About: Having pets is more then having a little creature live in your home, it’s having a family member and loved one. Growing up, pets were always considered family and deserving of the upmost love, attention and care. I carry that with me when taking care of others babies! My number one priority will always be your pets safety and happiness! I love to find new games and new smells with the pets in my care, because it’s so important for their brains to be stimulated. My cat, Mr. Stinks and I love to play hide and seek! P.S I love to capture your pets sweet and silly moments, so you will receive some great photos! I am currently a student working part-time and my schedule can be pretty flexible! I am available most nights, afternoons and early mornings to check your pets, take them on walks or even just provide some extra cuddles. My availability for house sitting varies weekly because of my work schedule, however I can be pretty flexible! If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to send me a message! My biggest concern will always be your pets safety and happiness. Whether that means double checking to make sure the leash is secure, cleaning up to ensure they have a clean environment or just loving them the way you would until you are back.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have had cats as well, so I'm comfortable with both. Most recently I've been the go-to sitter for my neighbor's cat during her extended trips away — sometimes up to a month at a time. Animals tend to be at ease around me, and I bring the same calm, unhurried attention to pet care that I do to everything else. Your pet will be well looked after and genuinely enjoyed, not just managed. I’m reliable, quiet, respectful of your home, and happy to follow detailed instructions for your pet’s care. I work from home on a flexible, part-time basis, which means I'm around most of the day and can give pets consistent attention and company. I'm available for drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week with good advance notice. I'm attentive, calm, and take pet care seriously. For in-home sitting I treat your space with care and keep everything exactly as you'd want it. I'm comfortable with a range of pets and temperaments, and I'll communicate with you regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve always grown up in a household with pets. From dogs and cats, to rodents and reptiles. For small animals or reptile requests, please message me to discuss pricing! I’ve created special bonds with each and every animal, and always love meeting new little friends while i’m out and about. I’ve dealt with special needs from pets such as medications for allergies, anxiety and fear, reactivity, and more. I also spent about a year working in a local pet store where I learned in depth about pet nutrition and supplements, as well as just the basic reasons as to why animals do what they do. I now work at a local animal shelter, so I am experienced working alongside a variety of temperaments, social ability, and sizes! I work full time, but am happy to take on any additional duties outside or around my working schedule. I currently work a set schedule, so I can reliably be available at the same times of day for your pets. I’m available before and after work most days, so if your animal is used to a typical 9-5 lifestyle, we will be a good match. While I’m traveling to your home to meet your fur babies, I’m happy to accommodate whatever you request! One of my pups at home has many special needs and requirements, so I am used to the more hands-on style of pet parenting. Both of my dogs are 50+ lbs, so I am used to large dogs, though I work alongside many small pets in my line of work as well. At my job I routinely work with veterinarians, so I am comfortable administering medications of many kinds. I also have two crested geckos at home that I care for! 🦎 My little lizards have taught me patience, as earning a gecko’s trust is not easy! I vow to be patient and kind working with whatever your pet’s needs may be.

“This was our first time using Rover for our pet and Matthew was a great choice! He was super communicative, timely and send us photos of our pup while we were away.”

About: I’ve loved and cared about animals ever since i can remember. my family has had many dogs throughout my childhood, and I always loved caring for and training them! As soon as I turned 16 i started working at a boarding facility, where i care for up to a room full of dogs per shift and always made sure they were going on regular potty breaks, give meds if needed, feed and accommodate for pets with special diets, keep water bowls full and play/ interact with dogs of all sizes. I have also cat sit for 3 sphinx cats, who all have specific care requirements and diets. I keep them happy and clean as well as house sit, like washing food bowls and watering plants! Although I’m currently a part time employee and a full time student, I am open to communication for scheduling so I can provide quality services, primarily being drop ins or walks! Although I have a wavering schedule, you can count on quality services of walks and drop in visits, ensuring all your pets needs are met as well as receiving all of the love and attention!

About: College student wanting to care for your pets! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 9 years old and love them all. I’ll cater to your needs. I will be a college student and am looking to dog walk or visit between classes during the week. I will work with you on time and duration. For house pet-sitting I’m flexible to when I am free so reach out and ask about my availability! I respect the home I care for the dogs in and respect the rules set for their pets. I’m attentive to the dogs needs during my stay and make them top priority.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a baby. Grew up taking care of family members dogs and cats to then being on a farm and taking care of those animals. I’ve always loved animals and wanted to have a rescue myself but until then I’ll do what I can. I work at a boarding facility for dogs and have worked at a cat shelter. I have a very flexible weekend schedule and I can walk, check in, or stay at your house if needed! I can sometimes do Wednesday and Thursday mornings or evenings as well. I have had dogs and cats since I can remember with all different types of personalities so I can handle just about anything you can throw my way. I am more the type of person to work at the animals pace, if they’re bouncing off the walls we’ll get some energy out but if they’re timid I will take it slow and build trust first. Treats always help😂

About: I have been caring for animals since pet sitting for my aunt and uncle’s 3 rowdy dogs as a teen, sometimes up to a month when they went on long trips. I also have cared for dogs of my own for most of my adult life and consider them to be members of the family. My current dog Ron has some special care needs which has taught me to be patient and sensitive to pups who need a little extra care and attention. I would love to welcome your furry buddy into our home and would treat them like another member of the family. I currently work from home so am able to give your pup lots of attention and exercise. I also am a very active person and love to frequent the local trails if that is something you would like for your pup. I have a fenced front and back yard and a dog door that can be locked if need be. I have multiple dog beds and also allow dogs on the furniture (I of course will not allow it if it’s a behavior you don’t want your dog to learn). Like I said, I consider them to be part of the family.

About: Howdy! My name is Emily and I’d love to hang out with your doggo(s)! I was raised in a home where the pets were just another one of the kids! I moved to Missoula about 8 years ago with my now husband (who is from here) to go back to school and return to my familiar roots in the mountain west. Previous to living in Missoula I was a professional dog walker and pet sitter for a company called Woof Walks in Oakland, CA (please feel free to ask me about my off leash adventures!) While I'm no longer working with animals full time, I'd love to continue to provide pet care services. I understand how hard it can be to find a dog sitter, let alone someone you feel comfortable leaving with your beloved pets. Whether I get to spend time with your dog just one time or on a reoccurring basis, I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your animals! I am currently workng remotely from home so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to taking care of your beloved fur babies! When I'm pet sitting, I adjust my day to revolve around you dog(s) and their needs! While I work remotely from my computer, I have flexibility to accommodate any feeding and walking schedules + play time and cuddles in between!

“Danielle was great with my elderly dog, Henry. He needed extra care and Danielle was able to handle taking care of his eye drops/medications without any problems. I really enjoyed receiving the photos that Danielle snapped of Henry for me to see while they walked. I’ll be using Danielle’s service again.”

“Annebell is great. The dogs love her. Belle is reliable, kind., and a joy to work with.”

About: I love spending time with dogs, teaching them new tricks and getting familiar with their personality. Also, my family has adopted up to a total of twelve dogs my whole life, so I can confidently say that I'm qualified for this position. Dogs need attention and my attention is focused on making all dogs happy, as they do for us. Ever since I left my parents house, I started to realize the effect that my parents dogs had on me. Dogs have always been a big part of who I am and I can fully relate with dog owners who consider their dogs as another family member. :) This is my attempt at recreating the connection that has dissipated ever since I left home. Woof!
