“Accurate DNA Testing with Compassionate Care — Wherever You Are.”
About us
Hello, and welcome! I’m Bobbie, a proud Montana native and Registered Nurse with almost a decade of diverse nursing experience. My nursing journey began in the fast-paced world of medical-surgical orthopedics, where I honed my skills in patient care. I then spent five years in emergency nursing, responding to urgent and complex medical situations that sharpened my attention to detail, critical thinking and clinical judgment. Currently, I work in day surgery, managing pre-operative and post-operative care with compassion and precision.
My nursing background has given me a unique ability to deliver top-tier care while navigating complex healthcare environments. I deeply understand the importance of accuracy, confidentiality, and patient comfort — especially when it comes to sensitive testing procedures.
Living and working in Montana, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges that rural communities face when accessing specialized services. In places like Missoula, the Bitterroot Valley, and Lake County, options for timely DNA testing can be limited, especially for those without the flexibility to travel.
With my clinical skills and commitment to personalized care, I created Big Sky Mobile DNA Collection, LLC to bring convenient, flexible DNA testing services directly to you. Whether for legal purposes or personal peace of mind, I make the process easier, faster, and more accessible for Montanans across our beautiful, wide-open state.
Why Big Sky Mobile DNA Collection?
Living and working in Montana, I noticed a significant gap in access to reliable, timely, and affordable DNA testing, especially for legal and non-legal paternity cases. Families and individuals across Missoula, Bitterroot Valley, and Lake County often face challenges traveling to clinics or labs, juggling busy schedules, or managing privacy concerns.
Big Sky Mobile DNA Collection bridges that gap by offering mobile, on-site DNA specimen collection. Whether you need testing for legal purposes—such as court-admissible paternity tests—or personal knowledge, we bring expert collection services right to your home, office, or another private location of your choice. This flexible approach provides you with comfort, confidentiality, and peace of mind without the hassle of traditional lab visits.

Reserve an appointment
Appointments can be scheduled by phone, email, or through our online booking request form. To reserve your appointment, a full payment is required. This ensures your time slot and allows us to prepare the necessary testing kits and paperwork in advance.
Do Both People Need to Be Present?
No — the individuals being tested do not have to be together for the sample collection. We can collect DNA samples from each person separately, even at different times or locations. This flexibility is especially helpful for legal testing, situations where participants live in different areas, or when scheduling conflicts arise.
Travel & Location Options
We offer mobile DNA collection services at your approved workplace, attorney office, or a neutral public location.
Attorney & Court Coordination
For legal testing, we can coordinate directly with attorneys, court systems, or other legal representatives to ensure all documentation meets chain-of-custody requirements. This helps streamline the process and ensures your results are admissible in court.
