House Sitting in Banks

“Thank goodness we found Davalyn. We were worried we wouldn’t find anyone to replace our long term sitter due to our dog’s separation anxiety. Davalyn was happy to watch our dog in our home while we were out of town. Davalyn was detailed, communicative, trustworthy and kept the dog’s schedule. We came home to a happy dog and a well maintained house.”

“We normally have family or a close friend to watch Logan but this time neither were available for trip we were taking. Initially it looked like I may have to stay home because I wasn’t going to leave him with someone I didn’t know or trust. Then I came across Candy’s profile and felt like she would be a good fit for us and Logan and was happy that she felt the same. Since she had never met Logan and would be staying with him for 8 days, we asked her to come over and walk him a few times prior to the day we left. I went over a lot of information with her, some of it because I’m overprotective and some of it because of his health issues. She took it all in stride and asked questions if she had concerns. She sent me pics everyday and let me know when he had tummy issues one day which thankfully turned out to be nothing. When we got home last night, Logan was excited to see us but when about things as normal, which tells me he felt at ease while we were gone. I highly recommend Candy. Had it not been for her, I would’ve either stayed home or been a wreck the entire week. We will definitely use her again for Logan. Thank you, Candy.”

“Kayla was very communicative. She sent lots of updates and photos of Joy and Noel. She left our house in perfect condition and even watered our plants! We felt 100% confident in having her take care of our fur girls and they have requested that we have her back again in the future.”

About: Hello! I’m Erick, and I believe that every dog deserves love, attention, and understanding. With a lifelong passion for animals, I connect with dogs on a deep level, respecting them just as I do people. My intuitive nature allows me to read their body language effortlessly, ensuring they feel safe and understood. Whether it’s a stroll in the park, playtime in your backyard, or just scratching their back, I’m here to provide a caring and enriching experience for your furry friend. I’m dedicated to ensuring your dog’s happiness and well-being, making every moment spent together enjoyable. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy! 🐶 I’m a professional basketball trainer by trade, but I absolutely love dogs and am looking to make some extra cash on the side to enable me to pursue some goals of mine. My schedule as I’m writing this is very flexible, and I’m willing to take on as many pup relationships as possible. 🙏🏾 The fact that dogs can’t talk, or at least I can’t understand what they are saying to me makes them a much better fit for me that a dating relationship. 😁 I make sure dogs get the attention they want when I’m around. I’m in pretty good shape so a walk is no problem, a jog is no problem if needed. I’m patient enough to let the dogs do their business, but also enjoy the environment during the walk, and will make sure they have water/food if needed. I see myself as man’s best friend’s best friend. 😁

About: I don’t currently have any pets, my frenchi in my profile picture passed from cancer a couple years ago, and I have been rovering ever since! I love all animals and cherish making their day, because they make mine too! Yes, I work from home so I am fairly flexible! I can leave or change plans with little notice if needed on weekdays and/or weekends! I live in a building with a pet area as well as a park across the street! Tons of walking neighborhoods and the greenbelt right around the corner from me.

“Stephanie did an outstanding job taking care of my fur babies, Sasha and Archie! When I arrived back home they were happy and healthy. The house was probably cleaner than I left it. Stephanie sent plenty of pictures, which I enjoyed. I highly recommend Stephanie for house and pet sitting.”

“She does a wonderful job. It was our first time leaving our puppy and she reassured us and kept us updated the whole weekend. I highly recommend.”

About: I grew up on a farm in Indiana, dairy cows, steers, sheep and of course, dogs and cats. Pets are part of who am, they always have been. I haven't adopted a pet in a couple of years so life without a bestie is very lonely at times. There's just something about them... My pets have been part of who I am and I realize, when I wanted to go away for a weekend, it was very difficult taking them to a kennel or finding someone to help so, that's what I want to give. There is something about who I am and what I've learned that gives peace to furry creatures and their parents. I want to offer myself as an Aunt or a Grandma to your little/big kids (the furry ones). I spent four years working with the Golden Retriever Rescue in LA where I fostered, provided temperament evaluations, vet visits and helped find forever homes for them. I received much more than I gave, I miss having my own pet or two or three. I've helped birth pigs, puppies and a calf which creates a whole new outlook on life. Unfortunately I'm not able to have my own pet now, that is the reason why I'm here, for your pets; I love on the ones who need cuddles and I give respect to those who would rather keep their distance. It's up to you and them how I fit in. I have had butterflies land on my fingertips and dogs who were viciously barking at someone on the sidewalk, turn to me and give me butt wiggles. *that was weird!! Animals know, they just do. I moved to the Boise area in October '24 from Dallas, TX. My kids and grandkids live here so, I've been playing and experiencing how beautiful this state is. Because of all of this, my life has been wonderful and I would enjoy helping you. My intention is to come to your home while you're away. I currently rent where I live with a cat who does NOT like others taking away his attention providers. I have also taken care of him while his mom is away. I reside in her upstairs where I have shown her the respect and trust all home owners want when anyone is visiting. My life is good!

About: Ive taken care of animals all my life, from dogs and rabbits to cats and horses ive had many years of experience! so rest assured your pets will be well taken care of! I’m currently working part time at a restaurant in the evenings, so I have plenty of time during the day! I get my schedule every Monday so I plan my week based on when I’m not working. I always make sure when i arrive, that your pets feel safe and comfortable around me! I’ll make sure to take it slow if your pet is feeling nervous or anxious about me, I’ll give them plenty of time to warm up to me

“Naomi was an amazing dog sitter for our pup! She took great care of him and he was incredibly happy. We will be using her again!”

“Dana was amazing! She took wonderful care of Lucy and my apartment! I would 100% recommend her to anyone I know. I’m so thankful she was available”

About: Very flexible availability, as I work from home and have the time to travel and care for a dog without having work conflicts. I've been living with a dog/dogs for my whole life. I am very patient with dogs and never let anger or frustration affect my decisions. Love caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I live in the hillcrest community and love taking my own dog on long walks and always have a poop bag on hand. I also enjoy training dogs to behave and play nice with other dogs. I don't just consider my own dog as a pet but as part of the family and she is treated as such by getting the undivided attention she deserves. Coming home to a pet makes any day better. Working from home, looking to help take care of animals in the neighborhood. Very flexible schedule. I currently don't have a pet of my own after being a dog owner for many years, looking for animal friendship. I have a gentle but stern approach and prioritize your pet's safety above all else. I try to provide a safe and calm environment so your pet feels comfortable and at home.

About: Hello there! I'm Marcus, a passionate and experienced full-time math teacher with six years of dedicated service in education. While my weekdays are spent shaping young minds, my weekends and free time are dedicated to two of my greatest loves, hiking and the great outdoors. Recently, I've embarked on a new academic journey, pursuing a master's program to become an administrator. Alongside my commitment to education, I've found immense joy and fulfillment in caring for furry friends. Drawing inspiration from my surroundings and the companionship of animals, I've ventured into the world of dog and cat sitting. So, if you're seeking a trustworthy and nurturing companion for your beloved pets, I am your guy! With a background in education and a heart for adventure, I'm here to ensure your furry friends receive the love and care they deserve while you're away. I work full-time as a middle school math teacher! I am free mornings, nights, and weekends. Although I work during the week, I am available to house sit and stay at your location during the week. I am available to walk and feed animals. I also am available to take out trash, take care of mail or packages, lawn care and house care. I am a very clean individual who will ensure your pet is taken care of. I am working on my masters so you can trust I will be spending time at your location on class work and not out. You can also trust that I will be the only one staying at your location.

“Valerie did a wonderful job caring for our 2 whippets age 1 and 10 for 4 days. She is responsive, friendly, mature, and takes great pics. She kept us frequently updated. Highly recommended!”

About: Welcome to my clean, cozy, and pet-friendly home! I offer a safe and loving environment with a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime and fresh air. Whether your pup loves to play fetch, go on relaxing walks, soak up the sun, or snuggle up for a good cuddle—I’ve got it covered! I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel right at home. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. Currently no pets in my home so yours will be spoiled every minute. I primarily work from home with the occasional stop into the office (never more than 4 hours at a time 1 to 2 times a week). I am a a home body and especially while babysitting your pet. I have a fully fenced backyard with a small sized patch of grass for them to play, relax and freely roam. My fur baby recently passed so your pet will have my full attention. My furniture and house are pet proof and they are free to roam or stay off the furniture if thats what you wish. Love to snuggle up and snooze away. Love taking them on a walk around the bench or to a park to play fetch (all dependent on what you request).

About: I have two and a half years of animal experience starting at a shelter, to a kennel, to a vet hospital. I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, rodents, and reptiles. I can also medicate if your pet needs it. My week varies with my main job but I have three days off of nothing that I can house sit and I can stay the night to care and snuggle with your pets. I follow instructions from the owner on how they would like me to care for their pets with how much they feed a day and how often they may need medication given.

“Madison far exceeded my expections while she watched our 2 pups over a long weekend. From the very start she made navigating the process a breeze. She sent daily updates with pictures and left the house in better condition than when she first arrived. I can't recommend her enough.”

About: I have had lots of experience training dogs and caring for them at my previous vet tech job! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am very passionate about them. 🐾 I am currently working part time and I am very flexible. I’m available any time after 4pm on weekdays. On weekends I am usually always free and would love to take care of your pup or kitty anytime I am available! I have a huge fenced in yard that your pup can enjoy with my sweet fur babies. I love going for runs and will always be able to take your pup along too. Both my dogs love cats and really enjoy having them stay with us! My older dog buddy treats them just like they are his own babies! He’s a super sweety! I have a great work schedule that allows me to be super flexible! It makes it so I am able to do drop in visits or over night stays very frequently! Safety is always my main goal! I do have a doggy door that my dogs are allowed to use daily but with new pets that I am not familiar with it does stay closed and I will take dogs out with supervision only. I do have a huge fenced in back yard and it is completely in closed for their safety as well!
