Care That Fits Your Pet’s Routine

TRAVEL CARE

Short visits for feeding, potty breaks, play, and a check on the house. Choose 30 or 60 minutes and book as many as your schedule needs. After every visit, you get photos and an update in our app. Need early mornings, late evenings, or medications on a schedule? Premium visits cover those.

⟶

IN-HOME DOG SITTING

For dogs who shouldn’t be alone for long stretches, or for an evening out. We stay by the hour, play, and keep your pet’s routine just as it is.

⟶

DOG WALKS AND TRAIL RUNS

A trail run or long outing built around what your dog loves most. It’s the kind of day your dog would never get with you at home. Perfect for your high energy running breeds that love to get out and run a trail! When a walk around the block just isn’t enough.

CONTINGENCY CARE

Already have a sitter? Meet us and hold your dates with us. If your sitter cancels or leaves mid-trip, we already know your pet and your home, so we can step in.

A GUILT FREE VACATION FOR YOU. A DREAM STAYCATION FOR THEM.

The Montana Tails Way. The same standards Danette has held since day one, now carried by a team she trains.

A trained, certified team. Pet first aid and CPR, Fear Free, and PSI certified. All the ways that your pet may need care, we’ve got them covered!

Photo updates after every visit. See how your pet is doing in our pet parent app, every time.

Available when you need us. A team means we can say yes when a solo sitter is booked, and someone steps in if plans change. No more need for a kennel or an app.

Your home and information protected. Every team member is background-checked and signs a confidentiality agreement.

“We book Danette, then we book our vacation because we don’t trust anyone else”

  • “Danette took great care of my high maintenance min pin! They made her a part of their family and she looked very happy and pampered in the pictures that Danette sent during her stay.”

    — Shannon L.

  • “Danette was wonderful! Our Charlie can get a lot of anxiety around strangers but he walked right up to her and let her pick him up. She sent super cute pics throughout the time he was with her and we could tell he was having a fun time. I'm so thankful we found her.”

    — Amy W.

  • “Our pup Waffle loves the Montana Tails crew. Danette has a fun couple of dogs that are great playmates. Communication was great, texts were replied to promptly, and it was very easy to schedule something last minute. Also received plenty of pics for the one-day trip.”

    — Justin V.

  • “We had a great experience with Danette. It was the first time we hired a dogsitter and everything from the meet-n-greet to our dog's first overnight was a wonderful experience. Danette was so responsive, and took the time to understand our dog. 5 stars all around!”

    — Sasha F

  • “Danette was so nice and she made sure Shelly felt at home. Shelly had fun hiking on the beach and enjoyed relaxing time at home, and we got lovely photo updates of her activities. We're happy Shelly found such great new friends. We felt very comfortable to leave Shelly there right from the start, and we're going to do the same again!”

    — Shelly K.

Go on the trip. We’ve got them.

If you’re tired of starting from scratch every time you travel, we’d love to meet you and your pets. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded, and you’ll see how your pet is doing after every visit. Start with an inquiry, and we’ll set up a meet and greet so you can see how we work for yourself.
