House Sitting Whitefish

“Ashley is amazing. We love having her at our house. It’s so nice to be able to leave the “kids” at home and trust someone to live in your house while you’re away. Gone are the days of dropping them off at a boarding facility and have them be out of their element AND away from their “parents.” She’s awesome.”

“This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience. Edgar was a pleasure to work with and our dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned home. Highly recommend Edgar and we look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Katelyn is one of the most trustworthy people I have ever met. She has house sat for us which included taking care of our 7 year old Great Dane and 11 month old Golden Retriever. She followed every instruction given and kept in communication with us throughout our trip. She was extremely respectful to our home and left it in better condition than we had left it. It was very important to us to have our pets stay in the comfort of our own home, as boarding kennels can be stressful. Being able to have Katelyn stay at our home at an affordable rate gave us so much peace of mind. She loved our animals like her own and we will most definitely be using and recommending her services again in the future!”

“Our two pups liked Kimberly from the moment she walked thru the front door. We felt very comfortable having her at our home. When we returned the dogs were happy and our home was spotless. Very pleased”

“Maddie was great to work with for our long weekend away! She was kind, patient, confident with our dogs, helped with the house and plants, and kept everyone happy and healthy! We would absolutely recommend Maddie for taking care of your pups - and we would definitely use her again in the future! Thank you!”

“Karla is amazing! I am so thankful we found someone we can trust to stay at our home and watch our dog when we travel. She sends picture updates, is great with communication, spoils our girl while we are gone, and keeps our home fresh for when we return! Highly recommend her 😊”

“We had such a great experience with Victoria! She did an amazing job taking care of our girls — they were so happy, calm, and relaxed when we got home, which says everything. She communicated extremely well the entire time, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. On top of that, she left the house spotless and super clean, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Natalie. I am an LVT licensed in Montana, with over 10 years of pet care and animal healthcare experience. I worked as a dog handler in several different kennels before obtaining my degree in Veterinary Technology from Bellingham Technical College, receiving mentorship in a variety of animal hospitals. I now work in veterinary physical rehabilitation and do Rover in my free time! I have experience caring for dogs, cats, pocket pets, and exotics, including those with special needs. I am more than happy to provide your pet with day-to-day specialized care such as administering medications, mobility assistance, or providing care to senior pets who need an extra bit of love. I personally have a cat who is special needs - she is deaf, and has both intestinal lymphoma and cerebellar hypoplasia - so I know it can sometimes be a challenge to find proper care for pets like her! Rest assured that I will provide your babies with the upmost care. I live in Kalispell, and I provide service to Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and surrounding areas. If I appear just out of range, just ask! I may be able to travel to your location for an additional fee depending on the dates. Thank you for reading, I hope that I can meet your sweet furbabies soon! ♡ I work full-time in a veterinary practice, and while I do need to be home for a few hours a day to take care of my kitties, I am able to do overnights and weekends for clients! Walks: I will use leashes, collars and harnesses that are provided by the client. Walks can take place in client's neighborhood, or on surrounding trails if preferred. Cat owners: I have a spare small cat harness if your feline friend enjoys walks! Pet Sitting: Pet sitting will take place at client's home. I will be fully respectful of your house and home, following your pet sitting instructions completely.

“Kalia is great! She took great care of our pets and home during our travels, and was reliable and trustworthy. Our dogs love her dearly, and we'll definitely book with her again in the future when we travel.”

“Avery was so great! Showed up eager to get to know our pets, and willing to listen to all of their particulars. Avery sent plenty of pictures while we were away, and gave informed feedback upon return. Will definitely book again!”

“Havana is an amazing dog sitter! One of the best! She’s punctual, intelligent and genuinely cared and loved our dog. She also sent us updates and pictures. I would recommend her to friends and family for their dog sitting needs. Five stars all around.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’m the go-to sitter for friends because I genuinely love being around animals and put a lot of care into making sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable. During my psychology degree, I completed a minor in Animal-Assisted Interventions and Psychotherapy, focusing on animal behavior, emotional attunement, human-animal connection, and therapeutic support work. My own dog is a huge part of my life. She travels around the country with me and goes almost everywhere by my side. I personally trained her with therapy service dog foundations, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, structure, and reading a dog’s needs and body language. I'm fortunate that my days are centered around my dog, Bennie. I get up, let her out right away, then prepare her breakfast, and she eats while we start the morning together outside. I’m home most of the time and spend my days in the yard gardening, doing yard work, or working on projects around the property, so she’s with me and supervised throughout the day. I also always make sure there’s some form of engagement or mental stimulation so dogs are never bored or over-energized, whether that’s training, enrichment activities, or interactive play. If I need to run errands, Bennie usually comes with me and stays in the car if the weather is safe. If it’s too warm, she stays home in her calm, familiar environment instead. I’m typically only gone for short errands and make a point of never leaving her alone for long. When we’re not at home, we’re usually outside doing something active- swimming at the lake, going on hikes, going for runs, or taking long walks. Our lifestyle is very outdoors-oriented, and she’s included in almost everything I do Dogs are a huge part of my life, and because I care deeply about providing a safe, low stress environment, I intentionally keep my boarding environment calm and structured. My goal is to give well mannered dogs a place that feels like home, not a kennel. To make sure every dog, including my own dog Bennie, stays safe and happy, I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and lifestyle. The dogs I board must be friendly and non aggressive toward people and other dogs, with no history of aggression, biting, resource guarding, or serious reactivity. Any signs of aggression or unsafe behavior during a stay may result in an early pickup request. They must be fully house trained with no ongoing accidents indoors. I understand an occasional accident can happen in a new environment, but dogs that regularly mark, urinate, or defecate indoors are not a good fit. If repeated accidents occur during a stay, I may request early pickup. Dogs should be comfortable in a home environment without excessive or persistent barking. Occasional alert barking is understandable, but they must be responsive to redirection and not fixate on people, sounds, or movement outside the home. Dogs that bark continuously when I leave or struggle to settle with normal household noise are not a good fit. Dogs should be able to relax quietly indoors without excessive vocalizing, as I have neighbors and tenants I respect. Dogs should be able to stay home alone for short periods, such as while I run errands, without destructive behavior or severe separation anxiety. For safety, dogs should ride comfortably in a vehicle if transportation is ever necessary and have reliable recall and respect physical boundaries. Dogs with a history of escaping, climbing, or jumping fences are not a good fit for my property. They should also be comfortable sharing space with Bennie and enjoy appropriate, respectful play. Bennie is always at the top of my mind, and safety is my number one priority. I have a fully fenced, dog-proof yard with a secure gate that is always kept closed. I also have cameras on the property to monitor for wildlife or anything unsafe outside. Inside the home, I use non-toxic, pet-safe cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals. I’m very mindful of anything dogs could be sensitive to, including what they’re exposed to, what they play with, and what they’re given. I only use safe toys and bones that are appropriate and supervised. Chewing must be under control. I provide plenty of appropriate toys and chew options, but dogs that chew furniture, household items, or damage property will result in an early pickup request. I also reserve the right to request reimbursement for any damage or excessive cleaning caused during a stay. I spend most of my days at home working on my property, gardening, hiking, or enjoying the outdoors with Bennie, so visiting dogs receive plenty of companionship, supervision, enrichment, and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I carefully screen each booking to make sure it is the right fit for everyone involved. I understand these requirements may not fit every dog, and that is okay. My goal is not to accommodate every pet. It is to provide exceptional care for dogs that thrive in a calm, structured home environment.

“Emily was so amazing.. from the very beginning! She was such a great communicator, went above and beyond with our cats, making sure they were safe and loved. She sent us regular pics, so we never worried, left our house cleaner than when we left. Emily was our best pet sitter ever. Thank you so much Emily!!”

“This is now the 2nd time Eileen has watched our dogs and each time she's gone above and beyond of her duties (ie pulling the batteries to a sounding fire alarm, washing bed sheets and bringing in the delivered dog food) all of which certainly weren't asked for but she had no problems doing. Highly highly recommend and will be booking her again as long as she wants to return :)”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs of all sizes for as long as I can remember. I grew up with large breeds like Bullmastiffs, Neapolitan Mastiffs, and Cane Corsos, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs. My family has also taken in dogs with reactivity issues, which has given me patience and experience working with dogs that need a little extra understanding and structure. I currently have a senior mastiff mix with three legs, so I’m confident caring for dogs with different abilities and special needs. While I specialize in dogs, I absolutely love cats as well and have experience caring for them. I understand they often need a gentler, more patient approach and I’m happy to provide that. I currently have full availability everyday while I wait for my new job to begin. This includes housesitting and overnights on weekdays and weekends! Also, I am available for quick check-in’s or walks through the week. I care for all pets as if they are my own. I will go at their pace whether that means they want to play all day, or do their own thing! Whatever I am instructed to do by you, the owner, is how I will proceed.

“Natashia was such an incredible help to us while we were away and we are so grateful that we chose her to watch over our house and our animals. We highly recommend her for any needs you might have for your pets.”
