“My puppy Buckley seemed to really enjoy his stay with Skylar! He came back tired out and happy! Skylar’s dogs are very sweet and I can tell Buckley felt comfortable with them. I was nervous to have someone else watch my dog, but I would 100% trust Skylar again!”
“Danielle picked up my pup from my home and whisked him off to doggy Paradise where he played all day and made many friends! She brought him home a happy and very tired pooch! I will definitely hire her again!”
“Tiffany was awesome. She sent me pictures of my dog every day and he was genuinely happy to be there. I cannot recommend her enough. I will happily be leaving my dog with her again when we go on future trips. She provides a safe, loving, and fun atmosphere for dogs, made the process incredibly easy, and took all worries away about leaving him to go out of town! 10/10!”
“We were coming to Boise for a short stay, and needed to find a dog sitter. We came cross Mitchell, she is very easy to work with and flexible. She made sure to sent us picture and stayed in communication this whole time. Highly recommend. Our Great Dane and pit bull were so happy there.”
“Wiley enjoyed his stay with Jessica. She and her husband and their dogs and cat welcomed him into their home. They were very accommodating on arrival and drop-off times and making him feel at home.”
“Greg and Jamie were great! They watched my pup Mila while I was at a wedding and Mila received so much love and attention and I felt super safe leaving my baby with them. I will definitely be asking for them again next time I need my pup babysat :)”
“Forest is awesome!!! We were quite skeptical because we had left our dog William with others and it was a disaster. We met up with Forest and let will meet him. They hit it off almost immediately. Forest is professional, responsible, caring and really takes his role seriously. He once told me, “ I want your dog to come back to you as healthy and happy as he was dropped off to me.” I felt that! Will is like my child and I worry when we are away, but I know if he is with Forest (and Norma-who Will absolutely adores) I KNOW he is getting the best possible care. He even sends me pictures and updates. Thank you Forest for taking great care of our fur baby when we have to be away!”
“Jennifer took great care of my Doxiepoo, Alfie. From the pics and videos she sent me over the weekend, I could see he was happy and comfortable. It was a real joy to see him play with other dogs,which is not usually in his repertoire. He obviously felt very safe! Highly recommended!”
“Amanda did such an amazing job! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time! She made sure our pup was as comfortable as possible! He lived like a king with Amanda and I could see how happy he was in each picture! Thank you so much Amanda for taking such good care of our pup!”
“Amazing Service!! I needed boarding for my dog Honey VERY last minute and Jessica was happy to help! She did a great job at caring for my girl and even sending photos of my dog throughout the time she was there, which I really appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her!”
“Lynette was super responsive and very responsible with our dog Odin. She treated Odin like one of her own, and was very helpful when it turned out he wasn't feeling well for part of the visit. Lynette takes the dogs out on walks and has a great setup for the dogs, and sent lots of updates and photos. Absolutely one of the best sitters we've been lucky to work with.”
“Even living in an apartment do not hesitate leaving large dogs here. Teralene is awesome. I have a very large lab and she handled her perfectly. 10 of 10 score. Thank you so much again see you next time”
“Very pleased with the care and attention Bogey received. Also communication throughout stay via text or pictures was much appreciated. Recommend the TLC for your pet given, without hesitation.❤️”

“Giovanna was wonderful with my senior, diabetic dog. She took good care of her and gave her all the medications while I was gone. I felt relieved to see pictures of her every day. Giovanna is a very caring person and I highly recommend.”
About: I am a registered veterinary technician, currently working in an emergency animal hospital. I can identify medical emergencies, administer medications, etc. I’m excited to meet your pet! I currently work full time Sunday-Wednesday. I am happy to make arrangements to best suit your animals needs. In certain situations I would be able to have your pet come to work with me as well. I have a fenced in yard with grass if you decide you’d like to board your pet with me. I do have cats and two bigger dogs and one smaller dog. Most of my pets are seniors, except for a very playful one year old boxer/pit mix. I do have enough rooms in my home to make your animals sanctuary if necessary.
