About: I’ve always lived animals growing up and I’ve been surrounded by many animals including cats dogs for the past 4 years , I love taking dogs on walks and caring for cats as well I’m currently a full time college students and working on finding a part time job I’m also involved in clubs on campus but 3 days a week I’m available almost all day to walk and play with pups. While I can’t do in house for pets since I live in a dorm but any environment an animal may be in I’ll make it safe and make sure your animal is comfortable
“Mariah did a great job! I appreciated the photos she sent of my dog. She was good at communicating, I was thankful she was able to help me last minute. My dog was happy when I came back from my trip, he had a great time! I would recommend her!!”


About: I’ve taken care of my grandmothers pets for about 2 years now. Pets are a huge part of my life and I love taking care of my animals and hope to help others. I’m currently working a part time job at a fast food restaurant. My schedule varies week to week. With all my studies done for the summer I have more time to care for pets and animals. I have a fenced yard and one Great Pyrenees to keep your company pet friendly company. So much yard space to encourage your dogs zoomies :)

About: I have worked 4 years in the veterinary medicine field as a credentialed certified veterinary assistant and I have cared for many animals at many stages in life. I am able to provide high quality care with giving medications, subcutaneous fluids if needed, subcutaneous injections if needed for those medically diagnosed, and are able to know body language extremely well. I am very flexible and am open to moving my schedule around for any time that will be more accommodating to my client to help them feel more at ease. I always go above and beyond for my babies and would do the same for clients as well. I’ve always had a heart for animals since I was young and as I have helped animals in more conditions than 1, ranging from puppy-senior, healthy-chronically ill, I have a background that is made to have an attention to detail for fur babies and can put your mind at ease knowing your babies are in great hands.
“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”

“Rachel is amazing! She took such great care of our boys while we were gone. Made sure they got all their meds and met all their special needs. We will 100% be booking with her again.”


“As usual Ashleigh was reliable and took great care of our dogs. We returned to mail on the counter and happy and healthy dogs... can't ask for more! Will continue to use Ashleigh as long as she's available!”

About: I am a graduate student at the University of Idaho and am missing having everyday interaction with animals. I volunteer at a local shelter occasionally on the weekend, and I have 2 dogs of my own back in California, so I have tons of experience. I'm more comfortable with dogs. I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend most days at home doing schoolwork. I would love to help you and your fur babies out in any way possible, so please don't hesitate to reach out !! I can guarantee a quick response and am flexible with cancellations etc. My schedule is very flexible, and a majority of the time will be spent caring for your fur baby. This summer I am looking for something to keep my mind off of things and what better way than to get some doggy cuddles. When coming to your home I wanted you dogs to feel safe and comfortable as if you were there. All the dogs I care for are treated as my own!
“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”
“My fiancee and I can not say enough great things about Benjamin and how he took care of our furry goons and our house. Our cat and dog seemed to love him and he did a absolutely fantastic job of keeping us updated and the fur kids entertained. We were gone for 3 1/2 weeks in South Africa and came back to 2 happy animals and a very neat house. We told him to knock himself out and help himself to anything in the fridge, freezer or pantry and yet he still replaced some V-8 drinks and Corn Nuts he had consumed. We told him that was un-necessary but he did it anyway. I would absolutely recommend Benjamin to pet or house sit and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of the fur kids and their home. Benjamin, thank you for making us feel good about leaving our fur babies and our home in your hands!”

“Sophia is a great sitter she took great care of dogs and cat. She was very professional and provided us the peace of mind we needed for our vacation. I would highly recommend and will use her again myself again for any future travel plans. Thank you Sophia”

About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have some extra time [on weekends/this summer], I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Reliable & Patient: Years of experience managing classrooms (and one sassy Chihuahua). Flexible: Available for walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting. Local: Right here in the neighborhood! Message me for rates and availability. I can't wait to meet your pups! PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”

Excellent care of our home and our pets!!! I would highly recommend!!! She even charmed our cat who hates everyone!!! We came home to a clean home and happy babies !!!”


About: Mature (50+) & Reliable House & Pet Sitter with a Lifetime of Animal Experience **I understand that pets are family!** Growing up, there was always at least one dog in the house, along with a few cats over the years. As an adult, I've shared my home with many dogs and cats and understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and quirks. **Your fur babies are my fur babies** My mother has worked as a pet sitter for decades, and I've assisted her with pet-sitting assignments involving dogs and cats. Through those experiences, I became comfortable caring for animals with different needs, temperaments, and schedules. **Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule** I can often provide more companionship and supervision than sitters who are away at a traditional job during the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet company, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. **Does your dog or cat need a buddy while you're away?** While I haven't had a pet of my own in the last few years, I still genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the responsibility involved in caring for both pets and the homes they live in. **Say no to the kennel** I believe the best pet care comes from patience, observation, and respect for each animal's unique personality. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing your home is being well cared for too. **I work remotely** Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. My children are grown, and I currently don't have pets of my own, which means I have the time and flexibility to focus on the pets in my care. When caring for your pets, I can typically provide: • Frequent potty breaks and walks • Consistent feeding schedules • Plenty of companionship throughout the day • Playtime, enrichment, and attention • Medication administration when needed • Careful monitoring of pets who are shy, anxious, or prone to escaping • Regular updates and photos for owners Because I'm often home during the day, your pets won't be left alone for long stretches of time. I understand that most animals are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I make it a priority to keep feeding times, walks, medications, and daily habits as consistent as possible. My goal is simple: happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and peace of mind for you while you're away. When someone invites me into their home and entrusts me with their pets, I understand that they're placing a great deal of trust in me. I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is simple: • Follow your instructions and routines carefully • Keep doors, gates, and potential escape routes secure • Pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or activity levels • Maintain a clean, respectful environment in your home • Communicate promptly if questions or concerns arise • Provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away I believe pets feel safest when their world remains predictable. Whether I'm caring for a confident dog, a shy cat, or a household with multiple animals, I focus on creating a calm, stable environment that helps them feel comfortable while you're gone. My goal is for you to return home to happy pets, a well-cared-for house, and the confidence that everything was handled with care and attention.
