“Sarah was great with her check-ins with my two cats, even during the snow storm, and was very flexible in changing dates last minute when a different petsitter was out sick. Will be asking her to petsit again!”
“This sitter went above and beyond! We had to leave town for a few days and she was able to help with our last minute request. We loved seeing the picture updates and hearing about our rambunctious cats. Great communication and care. Thank you!!”
“Phedre is excellent—clear, timely communication and she took great care of the cats. She followed our instructions to a T. I would definitely recommend her to others and rebook if she is available!”

We greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness of Shannon’s communication and lots of love/compassion for our kitties.”

My cat loved her check-ins, and I was able to travel worry-free knowing she was in good hands. She was diligent about checking each time on recent health concerns. I also came back from.my trip to find that Shyanne had also taken the trash out. She definitely knows what she's doing when watching our most loved family member.”

About: Healthcare worker looking for some pet love! I started dog-sitting on Rover in 2015! Took a few years off and moved states, but back in action because I don't have a dog right now, and want one, but don't have a schedule that allows me to give consistent attention. I have 3-day weekends, so Sun-Mon-Tues I can spend pretty much all day with your best friend, but Weds, Thurs, & Sat I'm pretty booked up. I will have lots of time over the holidays this year (24-25) so I'd love to have a dog at home, or house-sit at yours! Can also drop in on cats in the North End. I currently have 1 cat, so your dog needs to be cat-savvy to come over to stay, or I can watch in your home; cat care in your home only. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs my whole life! My first dog was an Australian Shepherd and since then I've had a rottweiler/lab, a boxer/aussie, a greyhound/chesapeake, pit/lab and have tons more in the family, great danes, dachshund, german shepherd, border collie, visla, etc! I’ve also fostered for rescues, dogs and beyond. My experience administering medication I work in healthcare, so I'm very comfortable with medications, therapy, injuries, and staying calm in an emergency. I'm not a vet, so can't give advice, but I'm highly competent in care! I have a flexible schedule with 6-hour workdays - plenty of time to spend with your best friend! I go in late, get home early, and love to walk around the North End or foothills. Pets hang out with me most of the time in my home. I work from home 2 days a week, and have 3-day weekends, so only 2 days in the office (ask for schedule if needed). Pets are allowed on the couch, and I have a fully fenced yard for potty breaks.
“Alix was great, she dropped in to take care of my cats while I was away - she was reliable, sent photos, communicated well, no problems at all. I'd definitely re-book with Alix!”
About: I have been an avid walker and dog lover for years. I am good with dogs and love spending time with animals making them feel happy, loved, and tired out after a long walk!! Living in Boise and working remotely offers me immense flexibility. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine through structured walks, playtime, and dedicated attention slots. My schedule allows me to adapt to a dog's specific needs, ensuring consistent care throughout the day and week, whether it's midday potty breaks or extended outdoor adventures. My approach to pet care, whether in my home or a client's, is built on a foundation of safety and trust. For in-home care, I conduct a thorough home assessment to identify any potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I meticulously follow client instructions, maintaining their routines and environment. My deep awareness of surroundings means I'm constantly monitoring the pet, the environment, and potential risks, prioritizing their well-being above all else. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid busy areas if preferred, and always carry water and first-aid essentials. Building trust with both the pet and owner is paramount, achieved through clear communication and consistent, reliable care.
“Elyse made my time away worry-free with dependable kind care for my cat Luca. I will certainly schedule time again. She provided adorable pictures to keep me in the loop.”
“We are so glad to have found Nicole! She takes a very good care of our cat. She is responsive. We received pictures and updates for every drop-in, which gives us peace of mind while we are away. She noted down all of the details that we need help with our cat during our meet and greet. We highly recommend and will definitely rebook with Nicole again.”
“This was my first time using a service like this and I was a little nervous. However, Brooke was fantastic and even made the effort for a "meet and greet" before my departure. My cats adored her and she was responsive to their needs. Would def consider booking with her again. Thanks, Brooke!”
“Kensey was so great! I booked her for drop in visits to feed my old kitty and clean his litter boxes. She always sent photos during her visits which gave me peace of mind during my time away. I would definitely recommend her for your next trip.”

Ashlee H.
“Where to begin? It's almost unbelievable Ash does not have a dog of her own at this very moment...although circumstance is sure to have something to do with it at the moment, renting and putting herself through college. She has always had a deep compassion for dogs that I feel has grown over the past 10 years or so. I've seen her interact with several dogs, recently working on a little country farm setting in Bainbridge Island, WA. Regardless if the three were wet and stinky, (rains a lot there) lazy or overly rambunctious, she just seems to have a place in her heart for each one. She is very organized and active and is one of the most productive souls I know. She won't scrimp when it comes to your beloved pet and at the same time give it an overabundance of love and attention”
