About Us

You know your pet better than anyone, and finding someone else who gets them is hard.

You love your pet like family, and you have the list to prove it. How they take their medication, which walk they love, the noise that sets them off at night.

So when a trip comes up, the search begins. You tour boarding facilities, ask a neighbor, scroll through apps, and interview sitters, all while wondering whether anyone will really understand your dog the way you do.

Maybe a sitter was late, or the sitter you loved was booked the week you needed her. Maybe you spent part of a vacation checking your phone for news from home.

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re a devoted pet parent, and the only thing you should be waiting for on your trip is a ridiculously cute photo of your dog.

THE OBSESSIVE DOG MOM BEHIND MONTANA TAILS

I know that feeling well, because I lived it for about twenty years. Work kept sending me out of town, and every trip meant starting over with boarding facilities, solo sitters, interviews, and trial runs.

I’m the mom who leaves five pages of instructions, down to how to cross the street with my min pin. Their eyes get wiped each morning, and they get a greenie every time they’re left at the house, because it eases their separation anxiety. I got very good at knowing within five minutes whether I’d trust someone with my dogs.

I started caring for other people’s pets because I knew exactly what I wished someone would do for mine. In 14 years, I’ve never missed a sit. Clients began booking me months ahead, and it broke my heart when I was already booked and couldn’t be with a dog who needed me.

That’s why I built a team. Montana Tails is a licensed, insured, and bonded company with background-checked sitters trained to my standards and certified in Pet First-Aid and CPR, Fear Free, and PSI.

I won’t be at every door, but the care at yours will be the care I’d want for my own dogs.
