House Sitting in Athol

About: Dogs have so much personality. Ive always enjoyed the enthusiasm they exhibit whenever I show up at their place of residence. It’s fun to toss a ball, frisbee, or whatever their toy of choice is. And taking them out for walks around their neighborhood is always a refreshing experience. They get their exercise and so do I. I’m self employed as a freelance landscaper and take on other odd jobs as needed so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do my best to adjust to the needs of the clients who have hired me in the past. I prefer coming to the clients place to care for their pets as it’s an environment that’s already familiar to the animals and I’m always preoccupied with the comfort of the pets I’m looking after. Plus they have the set routines they are used to and it’s far easier to implement a routine on familiar ground for the animals.

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or just some quiet cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for senior dogs with special needs, so I’m confident handling medications, special diets, and unique routines. Your pet will be treated like family with me! I am currently available most days of the week to take care of your furry friends I only can’t work on Tuesday's but can be flexible to rearrange my schedule if given enough time. I currently have only a very spoiled indoor bunny at my house so boarding at my house is unavailable but I am totally going to show you pictures of him. But I am the pet sitter for my family and friends so I’m use to the change of environments. So if your pet has cute quirks and unique schedule don’t worry I am totally on board. I understand having someone new enter your families environment is super hard but I am here to keep your furry friends safe and do things at your pace.

“Livvi did a great job watching my pups! After a string of terrible rover sitter experiences, I was very nervous about having another sitter come over to watch my boys. She communicated very well, followed instructions, and gave my pups plenty of attention! She was very professional and asked all the right questions during the meet and greet. It’s clear that really enjoys her job and takes it seriously. I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

“Could not possibly recommend Lynee more! She went above and beyond with everything that she did for our pup. Will absolutely be requesting her in the future!”

“Cailee was an excellent dog and cat sitter. She stayed at our house with our dog and two cats for four days and took great care of them. They all seemed happy on our return and the house was just how we left it. We would definitely hire Cailee again.”

Erika P.

“Kathleen was fantastic with our little girl (Tipsy) and we would highly recommend her to watch your dog(s). She provided daycare in our VRBO while we were out enjoying all Coeur d' Alene has to offer and came home to a happy dog every night. Will definitely use her again when we return!!”

“We had a fairly last minute request for Gabby and Kade to watch our pets for a few days. It can be hard to find house sitting for a large number of cats and dogs in our area and they came through for us. It was a short booking but both of them were super communicative and it was clear from the photos they sent and how the cats and dogs were relaxed when they came home that our pets loved Gabby and Kade's company. As an added bonus, they left the home cleaner than they found it. I'm super ecstatic that we came across such a great duo and am looking forward to future bookings with them as well!”

Ryo K.

“Above and beyond. Incredible sitter. Loves your animal like her own. Highly highly recommend!”

Ryan E.

“Bella did a great job with our two older dogs. One can be hard to crack his shell, and they were buddies by the end of their time. She sent plenty of pictures and is a good communicator. She left our house clean. All of it was very much appreciated!”

“I ended up having a family emergency and found Emilyanne last minute. She was flexible and came for the meet and greet with my dad the next day and watched my 2 elderly, large breed dogs the following day. She was very thorough, took great care of my girls, exercised them everyday, updated me with photos multiple times daily and took great care of my house. I came home to a spotless house, clean fridge, a poop scooped yard and laundry done. I would highly recommend Emilyanne and would use her again for future dog sits.”

Kelly K.

“Tierra was awesome! She took great care of our Raven! She had to administer 3 different medications, kept in contact, and sent pictures! Raven loves Tierra!”

About: Raised around show dogs, with 15 years hands‑on training experience. Professional educator offering loving, dog‑only care—walks, enrichment, adventures, or calm indoor comfort, individually tailored. Huge Heart. Currently my schedule is very open for all work. If this does not fill the schedule, will need to adjust around other work. But this is my current priority. If other work is needed, pets still come first and receive 150% love, care, and attention. My doggy is on the rainbow bridge. It is just me in the home. I follow the owners rules and wishes. I want to keep to their training and routines. I don't want the owner coming home to a doggy with bad habits or upset tummy. I want to keep the same diet and structure. I'm a professional, certified teacher and past hospital worker. Absolutely love to love on doggies. I have over 50 five-star reviews on airbnb and lots of other references and letters of reference I can provide you.

“Winifred (Wini) has stayed with our two dogs and cat twice now, and she continues to be conscientious, caring, and willing to go the extra mile. During this recent stay, one of the dogs had an upset tummy, prompting multiple accidents and night time trips outside. If she hadn’t mentioned it, we wouldn’t have known, because the house was spotless and free of any telltale smells when we returned home. Wini is a trooper. She was also great with providing daily updates which we really appreciated.”

“Leah is so kind and incredible. I will absolutely be booking with her again! She kept me up to date, sent me pictures, cared for my pets like they were her own, and she is so friendly and easy to communicate with. My pets were happy and relaxed when I came home, and my home was clean and taken care of when I got back! 10/10 recommend, Leah is wonderful.”

Bailey L.

“Rachel was so awesome, we booked last minute, and had a few extras we needed her to do, she stayed at my home with our puppy overnight, watered my plants and even fed and watered the chickens! She’s trustworthy and even cleaned more! I will use her in the future for sure!”

Courtney M.

“An amazing sitter who not only took wonderful care of our pups, but also left our home better than we left it! Anna Lee is a true dog whisperer - able to entertain our Golden and wrangle our "talkative" Malamute. We are very much looking forward to her next stay!”

Mike K.

“Charlie is great with Goose and takes great care of my home.”

Tristan E.

“Katelyn was a great dog sitter! She took great care of my dogs kept me updated, and I could tell my dogs were happy and comfortable. I’d absolutely book with her again.”

“Cheyenne was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Sven. This was my first time ever using a sitter outside of my family, so I was a bit hesitant—but she made the entire process easy and stress-free. Sven is a Belgian Malinois protection/working dog with high drive and strong awareness, and Cheyenne handled him with confidence, patience, and real attentiveness. That’s not something I trust easily, and she exceeded expectations. She provided regular updates with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear he was getting proper exercise, structure, and care the entire time. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for, always the best sign. Cheyenne provided excellent in house care, is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her—especially if you have a high-drive or working dog/puppy”

About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.
