Meet the Founder
Howdy! Im Veronica. I started Happy Tails 406 to provide trustworthy, reliable pet services to my community. With so many amazing clients in the Flathead Valley that rave about the services we offer, I am committed to offering the best care for your fur babies as I possibly can.
Happy Tails 406 goes above and beyond for each client, just read the reviews we have!
After a short 5 years we have hundreds of clients now. With tons of marketing, Daily Interlake article, word of mouth and fantastic reviews we continue to grow our clientele daily. We have expanded to Missoula, Great Falls, Polson, Libby and continue to expand around the state of Montana.
A little about me-
I grew up with many different kinds of pets, from dogs, cats, fish & horses. Ever since I was a little girl I fell in love with animals. I would crawl around on the floor like a dog for many years of my life. My knees are forever scarred but remind me of the love I have had for animals at such a young age.
I mainly had labradors growing up and still do to this day! In our pack we have Liam (11 Year Old Rottweiler Pitbull Mix) ,Maverick (5 Year Old Yellow Labrador) & Goose (7 Year Old Chocolate Labrador)
My animals are my life and so are every other animal I encounter. I treat clients animals as if they were my own as I would want the same care for mine.
Happy Tails 406 is unlike any other dog walker or pet services as we strive to accommodate any special requests you may have while conducting services. I understand it is hard to find the right person you trust with your loved pets and in your home, as I have plenty of references to share upon request. Happy Tails 406 ensures the best care for your pets.

Our barcode system gives real-time GPS tracking, photos, notes, email alerts, and online tools. You’ll see when your walker arrives and leaves, plus the exact location. We give you a unique barcode to place where the walker can scan it with their phone. When scanned, you’ll get a notification that the service has started. You can choose to get an email for every scan. Manage your pet’s schedule in one app or on desktop. Our barcode technology lets you know your pet was cared for, giving you peace of mind.

— Susan W.“Veronica is absolutely amazing! We were on vacation for a week, we had a friend staying at the house, but used Veronica to check on our dogs every day. Tod, Reid and Dale were so very well taken care of while we were away. Her daily updates and photos were very much appreciated! I highly recommend Veronica. She’s absolutely amazing.”
— Kimberley K.“Veronica took our young pitty out for a walk, he returned happy and tired! Which is pretty crazy for him, usually he can go non-stop. He napped the rest of the afternoon. She was on time and has a great energy to her, part of her service includes a GPS where you can track your pet and see pictures from the walk. It was super cool! If you need a good person to trust with your fur child, Veronica is a sure bet!”
— Elizabeth B.“Not worried about leaving town anymore!! Extremely impressed with Happy Tails. They were prompt, reliable, responsive, and took great care of our pets! They provided great photos and updates each night and drop in. We have a puppy and a sr dog that requires medication and haven’t had the best luck with local boarding or other apps. Definitely my go to for any needs now after this experience!!”
— Cat S.“We need in home cat care when we travel and Happy Tails 406 is just what we need. Dependable, professional, and our cat loves Veronica. We get a daily report and pics so we know exactly what is happening. Happy Tails 406 is our go to for peace of mind when we’re not here.”
— Tim D.“Veronica and her team are amazing! My dog Rue absolutely loves them. They take Rue on a walk every day while I’m at work and watch her when I am on vacation. Their prices are fare and the peace of mind it gives me knowing my dog is cared for when I am away is priceless. The technology they use is easy to use and makes everything streamline. I can not say enough good things about all of the amazing people who work at Happy Tails!”
— Bonnie M.“We came to Kalispell for a visit to Glacier NP in an RV. We had a tour booked that would take us away from our 3 dogs for almost 7 hours. We contacted Happy Tails 406 last minute and arranged for Veronica to come while we were gone and walk the dogs. Not only did they accommodate us, but when we got back into cell range, we had a full write-up of how each dog did on the walk (she completely nailed their personalities!) along with pictures and GPS from the walk. All of this was at a very reasonable price. I can’t say enough how appreciative we were to have a caring person take care of our fur family while we got away for an unforgettable day in Glacier NP. 11 out of 10!”
— Mike S.“Excellent service and I trust all the care takers who came into the house. Times I have needed a rush or mistakenly had wrong date, Veronica was so helpful and did not let us down. We love the attention to detail and friendly staff.”
—Carla D.“River and Veronica are amazing! They took such good care of our pets while we were on a trip and gave us such peace of mind. If you are looking for loving, trustworthy people Happy tails 406 is it!”

— Alaina H.“100% recommend Veronica with Happy Tails 406! She takes great care of my pups and she is super responsive to messages. Anytime I message her to ask for another service, make a change or talk about my dogs, she gets back to me quickly.
The updates and pictures she gives after the dogs walks are so detailed, you can tell she really cares. Her GPS monitoring is awesome and I appreciate that it notifies me when she gets to my home and when she’s done.
My dogs love her and she treats them as if they are her own.
I wouldn’t trust anyone else!.”
— Marinella S.“My 21-month-old labradoodle adores Veronica and gets so excited to see her. Veronica is dependable, trustworthy and great with dogs!

—Katie W.“Veronica and her team are amazing to work with! I’ve never felt better leaving my two pups with anyone. Would highly recommend!”
—Katie W.“They've always been dependable, timely, and exceptionally caring towards our cats. I feel at ease when they are in charge, I know the job will be done really well and Ive always been notified when somethings not right. River and Veronica are both amazing. They went above and beyond to try and find our cat that went missing while we were away on vacation which was so comforting and appreciated. River went back to the house multiple times and searched high and low (turned out he was just hiding really well) Ive also reached out last minute in the past when a previous cat sitter wasn't showing up and Veronica was there in 15 minutes with updates and pictures. It may be a little more expensive but, to me it's been worth it for the peace of mind that they are being taken care of the way they should be. They also provide plant watering which is so awesome especially in the hot summer months. I highly recommend happy tails 406 to your furry friends. 10 stars if I could!”
— Holly S.“The team at Happy Tails 406 has been our trusted pet sitting and dog walking crew for several years. They take such great care of our three pets, and their communication is always thoughtful and reassuring. We truly appreciate the updates while we’re away. They give us real peace of mind, and we’re so grateful for them!”
— Alexa O.“I highly recommend this dog care company for anyone looking for quality in-home pet care. I really appreciate the notifications when they arrive and leave, along with the photos and detailed summaries of each visit. It gives me peace of mind knowing exactly how my dogs are doing while I’m away.
They are always willing to help whenever I reach out and respond quickly, which makes the entire experience easy and stress-free. Reliable, professional, and caring — I feel confident trusting them with my pets every time.”
— Kim K.“We don’t worry about our kitties because we know Happy Tails 406 is there taking care of them when we head out of town. We are so pleased with the service and we highly recommend them for your pet care needs.”
— Jeff G.— Catherine B.“It’s hard to find someone you trust with your fur babies. Veronica and her team immediately gave me comfort in working with my dog, who isn’t the easiest and a rescue with a hard past. Gaining his trust was the priority and that happened so fast which made me much more at ease about the process. Happy Tails 406 will always be my #1 choice for my pets, now and in the future. Professional, friendly, caring, and the photos and write ups are meaningful and show how much these animals mean to the team!.”
— Rachel C.“My dog gets excited whenever Veronica arrives and is relaxed and happy after every walk. Veronica shows up reliably every week, and she keeps us up-to-date on every outing.”
— Molly M.“I cannot recommend Veronica and Happy Tails 406 more! We have a unique situation with a trained livestock guardian dog in an apartment while we hunt for land so I was hesitant to have anyone watch her since there are little nuances someone would need to be attentive to. Veronica went above and beyond to calm any concerns I had and honored the guardian dog elements that couldn’t possibly be accommodated at a doggy daycare. The notes, pictures, and great communication were exceptional and I’ll be using Happy Tails 406 in the future!”
— Beth W.“Great experience! Highly recommended and will use again”
— Kim G.“Veronica has done drop in visits for our cat several times and we could not be more pleased with her work. She takes care to make sure our cat is healthy, feeds and waters him, and provides very detailed reports on what she sees. We will not hesitate to use Veronica in the future.”
— Rick D.“We had a wonderful experience with Happy Tails 406. They were very reliable and communicative. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in such caring hands. We always received updates and could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
— Katie F.“One word...FANTASTIC! Veronica (and her crew) at Happy Tails are simply amazing. Reliable, honest, professional and great with the fur babes, what more could you ask for?! Plus, she's amazing to deal with, very responsive, super friendly and always accommodating. She has been "babysitting " for us for about 2 years now and we absolutely adore her and trust her completely with the care of our 4 animals. And of course, our little ones love her (and her crew) too!”
— Cheryl G.“Highly recommend Happy Tails 406! I have a dog that is not “good” with strangers coming into the home, and required very structured and “non-traditional” home visits while I worked. Veronica was incredibly receptive and precise in following all instructions. Her attention to detail and respect for my/his boundaries made me feel completely confident in her care for my dog. The daily pictures and text run-downs of the visit were thorough and greatly appreciated. Although I’ve since moved away from the area, I will always recommend her services. I’ve yet to find anyone who compares!”
—Jillian B.“River and Veronica helped us in a tight spot. Our puppy had giardia and it took a long time for him to get back the number of negative samples that our vet wanted before we could take him to daycare or the dog park. These guys saved me by walking him for 45 minutes during my workday. I would have completely lost all sanity without there help.
They are wonderful with the positive reinforcement strategies and really worked with him on his training too.
Thank you for everything!!”
— Mary D.“We have had Happy Tails 406 take care of our cats for over 5 years when on vacations. Very detailed updates on the pet checks and very consistent process taking care of the cats. The scheduling for the pet checks has been great and Happy Tails 406 has a wonderful staff that is experienced with the pet checks and delivers high quality service. I highly recommend Happy Tails 406 for future Pet Checks!”
— Melissa .S“Communication, care, and kindness of Veronica and her team were OUTSTANDING! Always went above and beyond for me and my doggo. If I ever had issues or concerns they were immediately addressed and taken care of.”
