House Sitting in Whitefish

About: I've always been around dogs, cats, kittens, or puppies. Since I was young, we've had some kind of furry animal. The litters of puppies and kittens were always my favorite. They became part of my heart. My favorite past time activity as a kid was playing outside with the pets. I'm a senior in High school, trying to raise as much money as possible before I head to college. I'm available before school, anytime after, and weekends. My pets have a lot of space outside and are really simple to take care of. I love the routine we've built. With my clients, I made sure to keep the pets well fed and always having water. As well as keeping them active.

“Erran is amazing. She was so thoughtful to send us updates and I know the dogs were spoiled and in heaven with her around. Thank you so much!”

“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 😊”

“Ashley was fantastic taking care of our senior boxer Diesel. Ashley did a great job communicating with us with text messages and photos as well. She played with Diesel and reached out with any questions or concerns about Diesel. Our house looked great when we arrived back home. Thanks Ashley for taking great care of Diesel and our home. We will definitely be reaching out to Ashley again.”

“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.”

“Priscilla did a great job with our high energy puppy! She listened to all of our concerns and took great care of her and her needs while we were away. We would recommend her services and use her again!”

Laurie D.

“Piper was wonderful!! Very good communication and very reliable, listened to what I felt worked best for my dog, and ensured he got all his usual care and then some while I was away. Will be my go-to going forward :)”

Emily S.

“We are very happy we had Katelyn watch our two dogs for a week! She was communicative, sent as many updates as we requested, kept the pups happy, and was very pleasant to work with. Perhaps the best surprise of all was coming home to our extremely clean home, washed towels/sheets/etc. - which was above and beyond our expectations. Katelyn made our vacation stress-free! We’d definitely suggest her for watching your pets :)”

Beth S.

“Natashia was absolutely wonderful! She had so much fun with my little fur baby and sent me photos and a video of her while she stayed! I am so grateful for her kind heart and attention to my girl! 💖🐾”

About: I'm 18 years old but I've taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life, cats, dogs, lizards, you name it! I've also had 6 dogs and 1 cat myself, which have all grown up and old in a happy and fun environment! I do not live in a neighborhood, so i have a large fenced yard along with about 4 acres of field to play in, along with a lake near me for hot summer days. Given all of the pets i've taken care of, I have great experience in dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, senior dogs, etc. I am currently a senior in high school at Glacier, however I only have one class that is completely online, so i am home all day everyday! Along with school i work a part-time nanny job in the AM Mondays and Thursdays, but it is super flexible so i can meet your needs. As you can see i have a very open schedule that is easy to work with, and i am home most of my days which is perfect to watch your animals. I'm using my love for animals as a little source of extra income! I have a large fenced and protected yard with an easily accessible dog door on both the top and bottom floor of my home. I do have two of my own fur babies, but they are trained and are used to being around all different types of dogs. However, if your dog/ cat is not good with other dogs and cats I am able to keep them separated by the floors in my house, so that would be no problem.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, big and small, and caring for them has always come naturally 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 spent a year and a half studying Animal-Assisted Interventions, 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 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. Overall, I focus on creating a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax, explore, and feel completely safe while still having structure and supervision

“Emily was wonderful! Responsible, communicative and caring. We will definitely book her again in the future and felt confident having her care for our pups.”

“Joanna was a fabulous dog sitter. She communicated with us during our trip and sent photos. Everything went very well and we were very happy to come home to our happy pups. We would recommend Joanna to take care of your fur babies. We'll definitely reach out to Joanna again to take care of our pups. Thanks Joanna!”

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.

“Liza was great. She took wonderful care of The house and the dogs. We look forward to using her again on the future!”

Ian L.

“WOW! New to Rover and really wasn't sure what to expect. But I'm SO HAPPY we found Eileen!! We went on our trip and received photos and videos and updates throughout our trip. I knew our dogs were home but happy (and getting spoiled!!) Will definitely be rebooking with Eileen for all of our future travels!!!”

Mary R.

“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!”

Madeleine G.

“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”

Debbie T.

“Caleb is a great dog sitter! He took excellent care of my dog and my house for a week. He was extremely communicative, sent lots of pictures, and took her on plenty of walks. He’s also a very nice guy, and I will be rebooking him for a shorter trip next month. Leaving my dog is not easy for me, but Caleb really eased any and all concerns. A+”

Ami M.

“Sue takes wonderful care of my dog! She is communicative, timely, and leaves the house just as she found it. I get pictures and cute updates. She is a gem and I am thrilled to have found her.”
