About: I work remotely so your pup will rarely be left alone, a big bonus! I’ve taken care of dogs of nearly every breed for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me and trusted me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently have a chocolate lab whom I walk 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!

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even racehorses. I currently have a 17-year-old tabby, and I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats, so I understand each personality is unique. One of my favorite memories is the first night I brought home my two kittens—they curled up in a perfect little ball together, and I knew we’d be fast friends for life. I offer flexible drop-in visits, tailored to your pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or simply companionship. I have endless patience and pride myself on matching a pet’s energy, so shy, nervous, or high-energy pets feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. I work from home, and am fortunate to have a very flexible role that lets me care for your furry family member at a moment’s notice. I send fun, personalized photo and video updates so you can see your pet’s day in action—playtime, walks, snuggles, and all. When I’m not caring for pets, you might find me sailing, skiing, or hiking—I’ve traveled over 10,000 miles by sailboat and now call Montana home. I’d love to meet your pets and give them the same patient, loving care I give my own! Services I Offer: • Walks, potty breaks, and playtime • Feeding and fresh water • Medications • Drop-in updates with photos • Gentle care for cats during dog visits Why Choose Me: I love spending time with animals of all kinds, from playful pups to independent kitties. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to help at short notice, making sure your pets get the care, attention, and love they deserve. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide consistent, reliable care for your pets. I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, or short-notice visits, and I make sure each visit fits seamlessly into your pet’s schedule. Your furry friend will get the attention, playtime, and care they need, whenever they need it. During drop-in visits, I ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I follow your instructions carefully, match your pets energy, and provide attentive care including feeding, playtime, dog walks, litter box cleaning, and administering medications if needed. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet to make sure I understand your pet care preferences and your pets feel comfortable with me. I provide updates with photos or messages so you always know your pets are safe and loved.

“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.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I grew up in Wisconsin with a full house of pets—dogs, birds, and even guinea pigs. This taught me responsibility and how to relate to animals of all kinds from a young age. I am missing my two fur babies, Lucy & Stella, who live back in Wisconsin with my mom. I truly care for my clients’ pets as if they were my own. I have experience with: - All dog sizes and energy levels - Puppy training basics (crate training, leash manners, maintaining consistency) - Senior dog care (slow walks, medications, special routines) - Rescue and shy dogs - Multi-pet households I’m calm, trustworthy, and very routine oriented—which helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m also an excellent communicator and will always keep pet parents updated with photos, messages, and check-ins so you feel at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventure or prefers cozy couch snuggles, I meet them where they’re at and make sure they get the love, attention, and playtime they need! I am currently working part-time and piecing together my schedule for the winter season, so I am very flexible and willing to meet your needs! When I’m caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I take the responsibility of being in your space very seriously and always treat your home with complete respect. Here’s what you can expect when you book with me: Consistent routines – I follow your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule exactly as instructed. Secure and safe care – I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure your pet stays safe indoors and outside. Clean and calm environment – I keep things tidy, wipe paws if needed, and make sure your pet’s space stays clean and cozy. Clear communication – I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you know how your pet is doing at all times. Emergency ready – I am calm under pressure and familiar with basic pet first aid procedures and what to do in case of an emergency. I aim to create a loving, stress-free environment for your pets while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in caring, capable hands.

“Chris is my favorite dog walker on rover in the Flathead! She takes such great care of my dog coco and is such a help when I’m planning a long day away in the mountains.”

In your home I will accurately stick to the routine you have established with your pet including feeding times, outdoor breaks and walks.

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 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 had a dog my whole life and I have always been the one responsible for taking care of them. I also have dog sat for all of my neighbors and during the summers will walk their dogs if they do not have time. I am currently a student so my schedule is very flexible. I would be willing to take the dogs for walk early in the morning to beat the heat or later in the evening! I am very respectful to your timing and rules and will adjust how you would like for me to take care of your dogs! I completely understand that a dog can be a lot of work so let me take care of them while you get other things done!

“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!”
