Dog Sitters in West End, MT

9-18-24I would like to edit this review based on what happened tonight when I picked Dune up from doggie daycare, the very nice gal at the front desk whom I apologize, I don't know your name, let me know that Mr. Marc noticed a small scab on dunes ear, I replied that I had noticed it and that he got it while we were out hiking, she was glad that I knew about it and was concerned that it had happened there, I replied it did not. As I was driving away I was so impressed that they noticed things like this and are quick to let you know, yet another reason why I absolutely trust them with my furry child. There is a lot of negativity in this world and I just wanted to take this time tonight to praise a great employee and great customer service. Kudos!!!!! Wonderful place, Dune absolutely loves going there, they take great care of him. I used them for my previous dog for kenneling for business trips and after I got over my fear of leaving him with someone else and trusting them I won't look back. They do a great job. Currently I leave Dune for daycare and he loves it. Thanks

This FAMILY run business is the BEST! We have used the Daycare program and the Overnight Boarding in the past few years and I can tell you that the level of customer service has been top notch. The owners respond asap, communicate every detail, address my concerns and are kind, caring and compassionate to our furry friends. The facility is Clean, Modern and safe. Our puppies are excited to go and that means everything to me. I am glad to see this family business is still providing excellent customer service and safe, affordable pet care in Billings, MT Give them a try, I am very impressed.

I love this place almost as much as my dog Franklin. He stays here every time I have to go out of town and they take amazing care of him and the staff is very accommodating friendly and my dog gets to meet a lot of other dogs. He plays his heart out and comes home happy and clean. They’ve got great grooming services too.

I have utilized grooming, boarding, and daycare services for my girl through Big Sky Pet Resort and have never had any issues. She absolutely loves it and gets excited as soon as she knows where she’s going! The owners and employees are extremely kind, caring, and easy to work with. They are also great about posting daycare pictures on Facebook. Highly recommend!

Well staffed facility with big-hearted employees. My dog came home from a 4 night stay happy and clean looking. Will recommend to family and friends. I appreciated the Facebook photos to check-in on our fur baby. Also, appreciated the no budge policy on up-to-date vaccines being required as well as flea and tick checks before playing with other pups.

Once a year I have to board my pup with these guys. Always friendly and Betty seems to love it there. I really like that they do a doggy daycare service and run her around with other dogs. Prices are very fair too.

All staff was super friendly and professional. We were given a written evaluation of her performance when we arrived back to pick our dog up. She was happy and worn out!!!

When our normal place for boarding was closed we chose big sky pet resort for our first boarding with Princess Sparkles. Very affordable and the staff was fantastic!!! We will definitely be back!

We recently boarded our two dogs ages 8 and 15 with Big Sky Pet Resort. They listened to our concerns and were accommodating to the best of their ability to make our older dog as comfortable as can be. Both dogs came home happy and healthy. We couldn’t be happier with how well our girls were treated. We will definitely be using Big Sky again!

Our dogs love to stay at the Big Sky Pet Resort. Every time we drop them off, they race in the door with their tails wagging!

Luna’s Kozy Critter Cottage is PHENOMENAL!!! The best one yet our fur babies have been to. This was the longest we have ever left them and it was stress free on us knowing how well they were being taking care of. We got daily updates and photos/videos. One way you can tell a dog trust you is when they are out cold sleeping on their back. Our Meeko which is pretty skeptical, was so comfy and trusting of Lisa and her family that he slept on his back just about every night. Nala also found her a new best friend and snuggle buddy while we were gone. They were treated just like they care for their own. They were taken on daily walks and even a few hikes. They also worked with their obedience training. They had a fenced in backyard they could access on their on through the doggy door anytime they wanted. They also met new fur friends they could play with. I cannot say enough how thankful that our fur babies were in such great hands!! I would send them back again hands and recommend any of my family and friends to Luna’s Kozy Critter Cottage!!!

So glad I found Luna’s Kozy Critter Cottage!! Luna is the gentlest big dog ever, and Caretaker Lisa is just amazing. She offered a meet n greet for my little dog to help her feel welcome and comfortable around the other critters, and she gives them all plenty of love and attention every day…pictures included!! Couldn’t be happier with my experience and will always rely on Lisa to look after my little furry one when I’m gone. 5 stars, highly recommend

I was apprehensive about leaving Woody with a stranger. But after our meet and great, I felt comfortable with Lisa and her home. Woody stayed with Lisa and family for ten days. I had daily photos and updates on his progress with larger dogs. He was happy and enjoying his new friends. I recommend Lisa take care now.

I can’t say enough good things about Luna’s Kozi Critter Cottage. She made my Nietzsche feel right at home and kept in touch with me throughout the whole stay with pictures and texts. I have already booked another stay. I can’t emphasize enough how Lisa went above and beyond to give me peace of mind during my fur baby’s stay. I would give 10stars if it was an option!

My chihuahuas, Cupcake and Lucky, spent the last few days. Throughout the week Lisa would send pictures and it was obvious they were being well taken care of. We had a meet and greet and I really appreciate the set up.

I use this place as my go-to because my pup just loves it here. I also love how they have the dogs playing with each other for most of the day and take pictures to show how the pups are enjoying themselves! When I come in to drop off and pick, the staff is very personable and has everything ready.

Paws and Claws is awesome, so glad we found them and have a place like this to take our dog to play and have fun during the day. He’s made a ton of friends and is excited to go back every time! Highly recommend.

My girls haven't stayed there yet. The service I received showed up with no appointment was excellent. I look forward to trusting my girls with them in the future!

Sadie Mae, my GSD, absolutely loves going to daycare to play with all of her friends. The staff are superb. They are very attentive to the needs of our four legged babies. We are also taking the advanced obedience classes with Joshua right now. He is a great trainer. He just has a way with the dogs that they want to listen to please him. I highly recommend this place for all of your boarding, grooming and obedience training needs. You won't be disappointed!

Hank and Ben have been hoing to Paws and Claws their whole lives. They are treated like royalty and get so excited when when we pull into the parking lot. Their prices are amazing, and their level of care and concern puts them ahead of any competition. I honestly dont know what I would do without them. They have let my dogs come by and play on short notice and have gotten me out of a jam many times.

Visited to check it out for future daycare for my pups. They assess all dogs before accepting them, so I feel confident my dogs will have fun AND be safe. Their indoor kennels don’t face across from other kennels, which minimizes indoor barking. They have a good air circulation system. They have multiple outdoor areas for different dog personalities and sizes. I watched for a while before I even went in and 100% of dogs arriving were VERY excited to be there, and dogs can’t fake that. There were a LOT of pups arriving and the lady at the front desk knew ALL of the dogs’ names!

This is my dog's second home. The owners and people there are top notch. They take very good care of my Belle. As we drove away, we saw her outside playing with the other dogs. She adjusts very well in that environment We are pleased with all the care she receives from them

The dogs outside weren't watched very well. I kept seeing 2 dogs ganging up on a slightly smaller dog. I yelled at them a few times and I yelled at the person who was supposed to be keeping order. Plus it was way too hot to have these dogs outside in my opinion

They are always happy and friendly! They will get you in and out and on your way. The staff here are all really kind and welcoming to your pets! Thanks 😊 Finnegan and Spike approved! …

Our dog loves it here for play days or boarding. The training is also first rate.

Our girl always has the bestest time with Kelley and the crew. I have all the confidence in the world in Kelley that she will take great care of our girl when we are gone so I can just enjoy myself where we have to venture without our pup.

We started off leash hikes with Kelley when our male boxer was only 1 and he loved it. He would come back one exhausted pup! Murph is now 7 and still LOVES his time with Kelley each week. Kelley’s communication and pick up/drop off service make this a perfect experience for our family!

Best place to bring my dogs. They always are happy

you are the best dog keeper 😊😊 …

The absolute BEST!

Adelle and BEST Pet Care, has been wonderful and easy to work with! I first found them on Google search for doggie daycare, during my 3 months work contract. My job required early mornings, late days, and unexpected overnighters… Adelle and her staff were able to accommodate my every obstacle. My pups were loved and well cared for in a home setting and a variety of other pets. Again, so thankful for finding BEST Pet Care! You will be missed!! 🥰

Mike and Adele are amazing! They worked with my crazy schedule and communicated very well. Not one day went by were I had an ounce of concern leaving my baby at day care and as a dog mom it so very much appreciated! Gino loved going to best pet care it was even hard to get him to come home some days because he didn’t want to leave his buddies! 10/10 recommend ☺️

Highly recommend!!! We boarded our pups with Mike for a couple of days. We have a 6 month old Boxer and almost 2 year old Rottweiler. Mike was great with our pups. He even kept his older dog separated from our 2 pups and his younger dog so that the one young ones could play together. Mike kept us up to date with photos and texts of how things were going. They had a blast and came home so tired!! We will definitely trust Mike again to take our pups!!

Adelle and her team have been fabulous with our dogs. We have two labs that have both seen their fair share of medical issues and surgeries over the years and Adelle and Mike have both been fabulous at managing their meds and needs. They’re very consistent. I never have to worry while I’m gone if my dogs will be taken care of or not. Cannot recommend BEST pet care enough. They’re absolutely wonderful.

I can't say enough good things about BEST Pet Care. My two dogs absolutely love Adelle and her girls. I love to get the updates and the pictures after each visit. I always have a peace of mind when I’m away because I know my dogs are being cared for and loved on to the fullest. Adelle has always had my back and she has become more like family to me then just a dog sitter. I can’t say enough good things about her!!!! I am extremely grateful to have found BEST Pet Care.

Adelle takes fantastic care of our dogs! We have a four pack and are repeat customers. They all enjoy her check-ins, especially when her daughter comes to play and tucker out our puppy!

Excellent pet care. My husband and I use Best pet care for anytime we are out of town. Absolutely reliable and top service. I always feel safe and comfortable leaving my pets in their care. Would 100% recommend.

Thank you for the stars! We miss your boy. He was the best!

Praise to The Dog House! I had two reservations for boarding for my young doberman who struggles with separation anxiety. On day one of the first stay it was evident that things were not going to go as planned. The staff made sure that he was taken care of and he did not harm himself while he was there. They went out of their way to take care of him. After this first stay I was sure they would not agree to board him a second time as they had to make special accommodations for him. This was not the case. They accepted him for the second booking I had through them. This place is not the place for my pup but this is no fault of theirs. They made sure he was safe and comfortable and kept in contact with me through both stays and did not hesitate to answer my questions and send updates. 100% trust this place!! Highly recommend. The photo is a picture they sent as an update and you can clearly see he is very happy!

Holly is an amazing advocate for dogs in need, whether rescue or behavior. She’s knowledgeable and committed to the dogs well being. I appreciate her so much. She is Lola's hero.

We absolutely love The Dog House! Doc is a regular here and has been going for over a year. It’s great to have a place where they care for and work with the dogs. He comes home tuckered out every time. He has made so many friends and Holly is just the best! We are so happy we found this place. 💚🐾 …

Holly, the owner, has truly been helpful with our weim puppies. They are 8 month old siblings. She is separating them at daycare. We haven't started training with her yet but look forward to it. We work with them at home, and she reinforces our training there. Highly recommend Holly and her team!!

Can’t recommend enough for daycare and boarding ! Skipper has come such a long way with the training the staff does with him. He is always happy to go and tired when he comes home!

Holly helped me with my pup, Ike. He has anxiety and is fear reactive. I wanted him to be comfortable in public settings and enjoy socializing with other dogs. She had amazing advice and taught me techniques to start with! Ike has come along way! Highly recommend Holly and the dog house!

Only a couple visits in and my Staffy loves the place. He was exhausted after his half day visit. We can’t even drive by without him getting excited about going to “Pup School.” The Dog House will be his second home. Havok definitely gives it a 5 star rating!

This place is amazing! Holly does so good with my Malinois and my Golden Lab! They both get so excited every time we pull up! This is the only place I will take my dogs!

I love the dog house, actually I think my dog loves The Dog House because he gets to play with all his friends and every Monday and he's so excited and it's so tired when he gets home.

I have a handful of a dog. Holly and her crew took wonderful care of him during his stay he didn't even rip up his blanket like he does in his kennel! Holly has an amazing kind demeanor that's perfectly suited to training and caring for dogs. I'm forever grateful for having a safe place to send my dog!

The facility is lovely and Rusty is a great individual! Staff is friendly and Rusty does great and communicating quickly via email! You can tell he loves what he does. We have only had the initial evaluation for our dog performed here in which we received valuable information. The approximate one hour evaluations are scheduled in advance and we finally got in due to a cancellation. Unfortunately, the availability has not lined up quite yet for us to be able to trial a doggy day care session or boarding visit. The month of June and July are quite busy for most places around here to be fair. Perhaps one day, we will be able to try them if we return to Billings.

We were referred to Bark Park by a trusted friend who regularly uses their services. Their happiness with Bark Park has become ours. They do an exceptional job boarding our sweet Saint Bernard overnight. Thank you!

Been taking the pup to Bark Park for a month after they were recommended by a friend. It has really worked out great for both socializing her as well as giving us a little break from the puppy phase. Their scheduling and payment system is super easy as well. We are really pleased.

I just want to give a shout out to this amazing new facility! BARK PART MT IS OPEN!!! And we checked it out today!!! Rusty Ontiveros has created a state of the art facility to make sure your pups are safe and having so much fun! HUGE air conditioned indoor area, with a specialized small dog area, and a HUGE outdoor area as well! Wonderful boarding suites, and an eager staff excited to meet your pups! You won't be disappointed with Bark Park, Rusty has dedicated his life to making your pups happy and safe! He's an amazing Dog Whisperer! My pups have loved him since he managed the day care at the Dog Spot!! Get yours signed up now!!

It’s your dog… But Rusty and the crew will treat them as if they are their own. Rusty has built an environment where the dogs come first, he keeps you informed, he takes pride in offering quality care over quantity of dogs, and it’s at a very reasonable rate.

My dog loves going to visit his friends here! The staff are friendly and conscious about different dog personalities.

Rusty and the folks at Bark Park are exceptional. Our dog, Velma, loves to go there when the rest of our family goes out of town. Velma loves it. We call it her spa. She comes home healthy and happy. We can't say enough good things about this excellent business.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE Rusty and his team at Bark Park! Gus is always so excited to go play with her friends and supervise Rusty and the team. ;) She comes home exhausted and is always ready to go back again. We would recommend Bark Park to anyone!

Rusty is extremely talented and cares very much for his pack. I have seen him get a room full of dogs to play with one another then take a nap together. He is fantastic at what he does.

We have been so amazed by this business. It’s run so well and our dog comes back almost appreciative after a day or even overnights. We couldn’t be more happy with the caring staff at BarkPark! Keep up the great work! 🐕 …

Just got back from my 4 day weekend. This is the 2nd time that I have used their service. They are awesome, my dog loves them. They always go above and beyond to make sure that we are happy. Even sent me a text to let me know my dog was in good shape. I definitely recommend them. I will use them every time I travel from now on.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joslyn from Yellowstone Pet and House Sitting, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She took care of my two labs, Oliver and Violet, and did an exceptional job. Joslyn is incredibly attentive and skilled when it comes to handling pets of all personalities. Oliver is very outgoing and energetic, and she engaged him with play and exercise, ensuring he was happy and well-stimulated. Violet, on the other hand, can be a bit shy and requires some extra care and patience. Joslyn's gentle approach made all the difference, helping Violet feel comfortable and secure in her presence. It’s clear that Joslyn genuinely loves animals and has a deep understanding of their needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for reliable pet care, whether you have outgoing pets like Oliver or shy ones like Violet. Her dedication and compassion for animals are unparalleled, and I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet sitting needs! Thank you, Joslyn!

Joslyn is amazing. I literally won’t go to anyone else for boarding. The puppies love her of course, & I’m covered if I need someone to watch the house. Highly recommend!

We brought our pit bull here when we went on vacation, and he absolutely flourished! Joslyn was wonderful at communicating, sending photos, etc. Our dog had playtime, walks and was very well taken care of. 100% recommend Joslyn :) We will definitely be back.

The best grooming services and daycare services the same day with cost efficient prices. The groomers were always so sweet and great. 100% recommend.

Petlantis does a great job on grooming my 3 schnauzer's and the daycare is fantastic they really take care of our fur babies thank you for all you guys do :)

Petlantis is the best groomers in the world. My dogs love going there and feel pampered and loved! They love seeing all the other dogs and most of all the groomers and workers who treat them well!! Wish we could take you back East with us. You have been Marvelous!!! We will miss you all!!

Just recently found petlantis and I’m so happy we did! My fluffy long haired pup comes back so soft and so well brushed out. I never have to worry about him matting. On top of the amazing grooming I love they have a doggy day care option. My pup can be groomed then have plenty of time to play with other dogs and come home worn out! Highly recommend them!

Have to be honest because I think all pet owners should know. My 2 year old dog had two bones in his foot broken and his ACL sprained while in for a grooming. He fell off a grooming table and the table fell on top of him because the groomers had him on the table and stepped away while another dog came in and bumped into his table. Accidents do happen, but not only did this event take place due to inexcusable negligence, but I was lied to multiple times about what happened to him until I asked to see video footage and the owner called me and fessed up. This injury took over 10 weeks and countless vet appointments to heal properly and at his last vet appointment he still continued to have evidence of the break on xrays, limped after he ran, and had to take pain meds. Luckily my dog is 2 and has since recovered. The owner was professional and paid his bills, but this injury cost me a ton in gas money to/from vet appointments, missed work for the appointments, having to pay for daycare. And she continued to employ the individuals responsible for the injury and lying about it to me. After the accident occurred and my dog was limping, the employees lied directly to my face and then charged me for the grooming. I had to specifically request reimbursement for their negligence. I will absolutely never return or support this business because my dogs health and safety was not prioritized over the self preservation of the employee.

Kristal did a great job! Place seems well run and employees friendly. Decent pricing compared to many other places.

Every team member is incredibly friendly! They all greet my pup as if they know her. They are fast and efficient at their jobs, and they always have an appointment available to fit my schedule! My pup HATES being groomed at home, but loves coming here. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust this team with my girl! Great team, great business! Highly recommend!

I took my pup timber in for a full spa day and the gals took such good care of him. I had a meeting to go to that took a little longer than expected and they made sure he was enjoying his time there. Great service. Reasonable prices and my pup loves it ❤️

Always take my dog here and he always gets a great haircut and they seem to genuinely care about the well being of your dog. Highly recommended!

Finally found a great grooming place that knows how to groom English Springer Spaniels. The groomers listen to what the dog owners want accomplished. My dogs even seemed to enjoy it because they didn’t come home agitated. Thank you again for listening to my requests and hearing my concerns with previous groomers at other places.

Lynn is amazing. She takes wonderful care of my fussy husky. Her frequent communication including pictures and videos is so appreciated. Would definitely recommend her!!!

I highly recommend WAGS Pet Sitting. Lynn was so easy to work with. I trusted her completely leaving my older dog with her over the weekend. She does pick up and drop off services and even keeps you updated with pics and videos of your pup. She is my go-to dog sitter from now on!

I have been so blessed to fine wags pets my little pug/mix loves going, there is a heart and secure back yard, and Mattie my dog loves seeing the other dogs that are there. A great comfort.
