Cat Sitting Black Canyon

“Ashlyn did an exceptional job caring for our pets and home while we were away. She truly went above and beyond our expectations. We have three cats, each with different needs. Our oldest cat, Bonsai, is 17 years old and requires medication every 12 hours, a specialized diet, and extra attention. Because of his age and medical needs, he cannot go outside, so it was very important that doors remained closed and his care instructions were followed carefully. Ashlyn handled all of this flawlessly. Our other two cats are five years old and have a different routine. They needed to be let outside during the day, brought back in each evening, and fed their prescribed food on the same 12-hour schedule. Ashlyn kept track of each cat's feeding schedule and dietary needs, making sure they all received the proper care. She visited twice a day, exactly as scheduled, and provided wonderful communication throughout our trip. She sent multiple photos during every visit and completed Rover report cards each evening, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Ashlyn also took excellent care of our chickens by collecting eggs daily, giving them scratch, and making sure they were well cared for. She even reached out to ask if it was okay to feed them leftover watermelon that her family wasn't going to eat—a thoughtful gesture that showed how much she genuinely cared. In addition, she watered our three garden beds exactly as requested. What impressed us most was her attention to detail and her genuine concern for our home and animals. Even after our booking ended, she followed up with us to make sure everything was going well. That extra check-in wasn't expected, but it was greatly appreciated and speaks to the level of service she provides. We would not hesitate to book Ashlyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, communicates exceptionally well, and treats your pets as if they were her own. Thank you, Ashlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family and our home!”

“Kayla was great. I was very nervous abt my 1st trip in years. She sent lots of pictures and updates. She asked questions when something came up. I was very reassured and got to enjoy my trip. I will definitely be having her watch Terrible in the future. Thanks Kayla.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for years. As well as house sat for a friend who owns a farm, caring for her numerous animals. Hi! I currently work at 9 AM to 5 PM job and can make it home around 12 PM to 1 PM for a lunch break to take the dog to the bathroom and/or a walk if requested. I typically have more availability on Fridays, as I work remotely occasionally. This would make it so the pet will go 4 hours between potty breaks Monday-Thursday if a potty break midday is needed. I have full availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with plenty of space for a dog to run around safely. We board dogs often and have puppy proofed it for safety.

About: For more than 40 years, I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats of my own. After my last Boxer passed away in 2022, I found a new way to share that love by caring for—and spoiling—the pets of others. I’ve provided excellent pet- and housesitting services on TrustedHousesitters in the Boise area for the past year, earning 20 five-star reviews. Many of my sits have been with repeat hosts, which reflects the trust and dependable care I provide. My experience includes dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and even beetles. Before moving to Boise, I spent 14 years fostering dogs and providing pet-sitting services in the Atlanta area. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to follow instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and affection. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked as a project manager in the technology industry. As I transition into a more personally fulfilling career, I’m excited to devote more time to animals and give your pets the same thoughtful, reliable care I would want for my own. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and thoroughly spoiled while you’re away. I currently work full-time as a pet sitter, so caring for pets is my primary focus. I’m able to organize my schedule around each client’s needs and your pet’s established routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and night, including 24/7 overnight care, and I’ll work with you to create a dependable schedule that helps your pet feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a strong focus on safety, trust, and consistency. I carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet’s individual needs, routines, feeding schedules, medications, and preferences are respected. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, taking them on a walk, or enjoying outdoor exercise together, I remain attentive to their surroundings and comfort. I take safety precautions during every visit and activity so your pet can feel secure and relaxed in your absence. You can count on me to provide dependable, thoughtful care while treating your home and your pet with the same respect I would expect for my own.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and have more than 27 years of hands-on pet-care experience. My parents allowed me to adopt my first cat from a shelter when I was seven, and she remained my beloved companion until she was 14. When she developed diabetes, I learned to administer her insulin injections twice daily. With consistent care, she lived three additional happy years beyond what we initially thought possible. I have always felt a special connection with animals of every kind, including both cats and dogs. Animals naturally bring me a sense of peace, and caring for them is something I find genuinely meaningful. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I am dependable, observant, safety-conscious, and calm during unexpected situations. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, caring for senior pets, and administering injectable medication when properly instructed. I will treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule while building my personal art business, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I am available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I can also accommodate many morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and holiday requests. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so being dependable and arriving at the agreed-upon time will always be a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and established routine will always come first. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and never force interaction with a nervous or shy animal. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I am highly responsible, attentive to detail, and calm under pressure. I also respect the trust involved in entering someone’s home and will leave it clean and secure. I will provide dependable communication, photos, and visit updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of personal attention.
