Dog Walkers in Whitefish, MT

“Alyssa was terrific! She was always on time and took great care of Brandy on her walks. Brandy can be dog-reactive and Alyssa handled encounters like a pro! Will definitely call on Alyssa to take care of Brandy next time. Can’t say enough good things about her!”

Not only is she responsible, kind, and wonderful with my geriatric and aging Jack Russell----but she is "Jonny on the spot" and gets to my place in such a prompt manner it's beyond impressive!!!!!! I have booked her so many times I've lost count! :) :) ❤️?❤️”

About: I love taking care of animals! Ive been a pet sitter for friends and family for over 30 years, in addition to having fur babies of my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets, puppies, and kittens. Our pets are part of the family, and we shower them with love! I am a retired teacher, with lots of free time to take care of your pets! I would love to introduce your pets to my dog, Franny and my cat, Numa. Our animals are at the center of everything we do! We have a fenced back yard for our pets to play in. We have a friendly dog who loves to play, and a cat who loves dogs! Our home is pet-friendly and very comfortable for all animals.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15! Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently have a chocolate lab whom I walk twice daily. He loves to play and he keeps me in shape through our walks and sometimes runs! I have a fully fenced in yard and one friendly chocolate lab to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if need be as well. We will go on walks and have play time. If it is the summer and your dog likes to swim, we will go to the lake or river!

“Julia was great with my dog Roscoe. Took him on trails around Whitefish where he got lots of exercise. Julia was a great communicator and easy to work with. I would highly recommend using her.”

“Sandy was wonderful with my dog Kaya! I just moved to the area and had to leave Kaya for a full day, in temp housing and in new city. Sandy came by the day before for a meet & greet, which I really appreciated. During her visits with Kaya she was communicative and let me know how Kaya was, which put my mind at ease. Highly recommend Sandy and will be booking again!”

About: My husband and I love hosting dogs of all shapes and sizes. Your pup will most likely get a good walk on local trails, and definitely some good play time in the large fenced back yard. We have an infant daughter that your dog must be okay with. I work super part time and my schedule is flexible. I am primarily around during the day for walks etc. I can work with you to get a better sense of routine. I have a fenced yard, but a relatively small house. I like to spend most of my time outside so your dog will get ample amounts of fresh air. Crating is no problem, and I do not have other dogs to mesh with.

About: I have taken care of many friends and families pets, walked dogs, and have two dogs and a cat of my own! I enjoy spending time with animals and love both dogs and cats. I am currently a student at TCU but will be staying here this summer and not in class so my schedule is pretty open as I am trying to find something to fill my time. I am happy to check in on pets, walk them and make sure they are fed, exercised and happy! I will treat all pets like my own!

About: I have taken care of my own small diabetic dog, including the proper use of insulin needles and other edible dog medications.

About: I have taken care of dogs since my first dog when I was 13. Since then and moving from home I have taken care of family and friends dogs. I have babysat dogs for longer than a week. My family members all have dogs and I take being a dog aunt very seriously! I live watching my family members dogs. My roommate also has a dog that I see as my own and I spend a majority of my day being with him and helping take care of him. While caring for my pets in my home I always make sure that they are always being watched. Living in Chicago it is so important to get dogs out of the house and moving around, which entails plenty of walks throughout the day! My pets are always spoiled with plenty of attention and way too many toys. 🧸

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.

“Mckensey was the best! Very responsive and able to help out last minute. She took such great care of our two pups!! She is now the “go to” for dog care!”

About: I have professional experience dog sitting and walking and treat each animal as if they were my own. I've experienced a large variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. I pay attention to details and send a text report after every visit, including adorable pictures. I am very aware of my surroundings and do everything I can to ensure a safe and enjoyable walk. If you have a feline friend in addition to your canine I take care of their food, water, and cat box as needed. I make sure your pet has fresh water and food or medicine if necessary, as well as change pee pads. I give small treats when appropriate as well. I supply my own treats and poop bags but also respect requests for no treats. :)

About: I’ve grown up with large breed dogs my entire life! I’ve also been helping my mom dog sit since I was in elementary school and some of the kids I nannied in high school had a family dog I’d have to watch as well! I currently don’t work and only plan on bartending part time this summer so my schedule is super open. Also have been looking for more excuses to be more active and outside so I figured what better way than to hang out with some pups. I’ve had dogs of my own so I know how important rules and cues are. I have a dog in my home but I would only bring your dog here if he wasn’t around. His name is cheese, he’s chill but on the anxious side so I wouldn’t want to risk anything. My backyard is fenced! I would also strictly follow whatever rules and notes you leave behind for me about your dogs specific care.

About: I love dogs, and i truly think they are the best stress relievers! I have had over 9 dogs in my life and all of them have been spoiled with love. I am a nail tech and newly wed! I just moved to whitefish Montana and while my business is part-time, so I have plenty of time for your best bubbies! I live in a neighborhood right next to whitefish lake, and I take my dogs to the lake once a day and let themrun around and have the best times!

About: I have raised many dogs and been around pets my whole life! I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs! I’ve trained and took care of all the dogs in my family growing up! I manage my own business and choose my own hours to take care of my dogs at home! So I’m very flexible with times to schedule your pets needs as well! Please schedule a meet and greet! I’m available to come to your home and build that trust. Show me the routines so that I can adapt to all the meal times, play times, walk times, potty breaks, etc. I also have 2 other dogs at home that would love to play and love on your dog(s) as well! I also live right down the road from the dog park! I’m also available for watching your pet at your home, whatever is the most comfortable for you and them.

About: I have always grown up having pets around and am currently the pet mom to my beautiful boy Sulley (a 4 year old Australian shepherd) and Toulouse (an 3 year old) . We are always out and about, going on hikes and walks around Whitefish and would love to be able to add a few doggie (or kitty) friends to our daily routine. We also don’t mind sitting on the couch and being a bum. I know how important it is for you to feel safe leaving your animal with someone and I hope to be that person for you and your pets. I work PRN at Logan Health Behavioral Health so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to give lots of attention and time with each pet I watch. Leaving your pet can be scary so knowing someone is attentive to their needs is important. I want to make sure I keep your animals routine as normal as possible so I always love to hear the basics of what makes your animal happy/their need to the tiny details that only a pet parent knows.

About: Bringing joy and companionship to young and mid-life athletic dogs via hiking, trailrunning, and xc skiing, as well as supporting older dogs to feel important too on smaller woods walks or town walks, or just belly rubs and time together is one of my favorite things to do. Currently, I have an 14-year old West Highland Terrier who is slowing down but still loves to hike to local lakes on the WF Trail. I also have a 3 yo Golden Retriever who is lovable and my main trail-running buddy. I have had a long line of good dogs by my side since I was a kid, mainly Newfoundlands and Golden Retrievers, each deeply loved family members. I know how tough it can be to leave them behind on trips or full days away from home & am glad to offer your pets and you reassurance and comfort through communicative, attentive, kind-hearted pet care. I'm most comfortable with the temperament of mid-sized and large-breed dogs, but also comfortable with most other breeds and sizes as well. I also am a cat lover & have two wonderful, cuddly felines. I am up for petsitting support with established local clients after having provided daytime support previously. I'm a literature professor who teaches grad school remotely, so my schedule is often my own and quite flexible. I recently decided I want to do something hands on to help other dogs in the community who might be stuck at home, so decided to add a profile here with the aim of having 2-3 regular dog or cat clients who know me well. Mostly I'd offer town walks on leash or dog park time for your dog, but for those who wish for a more extended outdoor outing, I can offer hikes as well for an additional rate. I have a Subaru Outback with the back seats laid down for a comfy, padded doggie area in the back, so can transport all sizes of dogs out for hikes; I have a ramp for dogs who need that for their hips, etc. I am very attentive and caring with dogs in my care, and would only take on one or two dogs at a time who are compatible with each other so as to have that connection with each dog, OR would more likely just do one on one time with one dog at a time. I would slowly build mutual trust to determine what is safe for your dog as far as listening skills in the woods, being on leash in the woods or off leash, etc. I'm very considerate with bears, mountain lions, and other critters in our local ecosystems - it's always on my radar to keep them safe and your/my pets safe mutually! Having grown up in and recreated in East Glacier and Whitefish since I was a kid, I know these mountains well and how to keep pets safe and happy amid an outdoor lifestyle. I live in central Whitefish so am able to support pets within the Whitefish area primarily but open to nearby rural areas as well.
