Pet Sitting Whitefish

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.

“Lisa went above & beyond what anyone would expect to care for my older, very timid chihuahua mix. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially for special needs pets.”

Amy A.

“Victoria watched our high maintenance Pitbull for four days and was fantastic with her! I'm both impressed and appreciative. I will always reach out to her first!!”

Debi H.

“Becky was right on time and appreciated her extra effort to meet Poppy before hand and understand that she takes a little while to warm up to people!”

Pika M.

“Shelby did an excellent job on a week-long stretch of drop-in visits for our cat. She gave daily updates and went above and beyond by bringing in packages from the door, cleaning up cat hair (which gets everywhere in a week's time), and taking out the trash. The videos she sent were hilarious. Never worried about the fuzzball or our condo while we were away. Shelby has been our best Rover-sitter yet, and we'll be using her next time.”

Brenda M.

“Larissa was great with my crew over a holiday weekend. Shows up when she says she will and keeps in great contact.”

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.

About: I have vast experience with puppies, adult dogs, and care needing senior pets. I have raised multiple family dogs and cats and love all animals! I work part time remotely and set my own schedule. I’m quite flexible in accommodating varying clients’ schedules and activities depending on your furries’ needs. I have a fully fenced yard that I can provide care in. I am very responsible with leashing dogs when in outdoor settings/ on adventures unless otherwise instructed.

“Alaina is amazing! She is timely and so great with pets. My dog loves her! She sent me the best photos and went above and beyond. I will definitely use her again!”

Patrice H.

About: I have my own dogs and they love to play! We frequently visit the dog park! We can get along with any size dog. I have not ever had any issues. I am able to get the animal to the vet immediately if needed. I also have a vehicle that can accommodate the dog separately or together. I am new to Montana, but not to Animal care. I have been doing this for a long time and I have a degree in Animal Science. I can help and provide the best care I know how too. Just let me know. I will fot whatever I can to help parents in need. Animals are my life and passion. I will make sure there needs are met. I am able to accommodate almost all needs of the animals per the owners instructions. In all my years I've never had any complaints. If you let me know I will always communicate if I am or not able to follow through with requests.

About: Need a reliable, caring, and energetic dog walker? I treat every pup like my own, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long adventure, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I work remotely so whenever anything is needed I’ll be around! I live in Whitefish and do love to go skiing but I’m very flexible! I have years of experience with all types of dogs especially pit bulls and know how to approach any situation with caution for my saftey and the dogs.

“Kimberly was fantastic! She spent lots of time with the kitties & they clearly loved her! Will definitely use her again but may be awhile before we travel again what with this crazy corona virus issue!”

About: Hello! We’re Edgar and Megan and we are here to provide your pet with the best care possible. As a lifelong animal lover and a former professional dog walker, I've had the pleasure of caring for countless dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm dependable, gentle, and attentive — and I'll always treat your pet like a member of my own family. I provide reliable and personalized care for your dog or cat in the comfort of your own home, focusing on their specific needs and routines. My daily schedule is flexible and allows me to give them my full attention, whether it's for daily check-ins, walks, overnight stays, or just calm companionship. I'm happy to follow your instructions to the letter and provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to housesit and dog sit. My wife works full-time so we have plenty of flexibility. We cannot have animals in our apartment. So that makes it difficult to bring animals to our home that belong to other people. Our hope is to one day own some animals.

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.

About: I have always been known as the animal lover to my family and friends and I carry this with pride and joy and always will! I have a very flexible schedule since so I am a college student and take early morning classes which allows me to have a open schedule for the rest of the day and I am always in the mood for a walk and play time with animals! I take care of my pets at home, just as much as myself or maybe even more. I love to spoil my pups and make them feel so special!
