About: Hi! I’m a college student based in Dover, also serving the Sandpoint area. I’ve grown up around dogs and have had my own for several years, so I’m very familiar with daily care like walks, feeding, and maintaining routine. Having cared for my own very energetic dog, I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m calm and patient with dogs and take time to make sure they feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors — hiking, running, and staying active — so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks or play outside. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasional house sitting. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my day around bookings. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m typically active during the day and enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks and visits fit in naturally. I treat every client’s home with respect and follow all care instructions closely. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while I’m with them. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates of your pet.

About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…

“Alex was a great sitter for our pets. Our pets were well cared for. Alex is a tiddy house guest. She even left a light on for us when she knew it would be dark when we got home.”

“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 loved animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and ages. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m committed to providing personalized care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student on summer break with a completely flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the week. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.

“Hannah is amazing! She spent a month at our house taking care of our two dogs and cat and she went above and beyond. She not only is now best friends with our pets, but she also cleaned our house and bought us flowers and homecoming gifts! Also, she sent us constant updates and photos of our animals while we were gone. We will be hiring her every time we go on vacation from now on! We 100% recommend her!”

“Jerad was absolutely fabulous with my pups and even went out of his way to work with me when I made a scheduling error. He sent pics and video and made sure both I and my dogs were 100% comfortable with everything before I went out of town. I will definitely be using him again!”

“She did an amazing job with looking after my baby, Kash! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter☺️”

About: Over the last 5 years, I have taken care of friends’ dogs and have done a bit on Rover as well. I’ve had my own fur ball for over 3 years now and he is my world. I love the connection and love we can share with dogs, no matter the shape, size, breed, or gender. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! When I do work, I don’t start until 3pm so we’ll have the whole morning. Along with dog-sitting, I have done a lot of house cleaning in the past so I know how to leave a house better off than I found it. I also have a super friendly border collie/lab mix that loves to play with other dogs!

“Lily did a great job with our 3 pups. We had her house sit as well and the house was exactly as we left it when we got home. She sent pics and responded to any texts right away. Will use again for sure.”

“Kat took amazing care of our fur babies and house! Our dogs instantly liked her and felt comfortable with her. Kat was very kind, respectful, had good communication, and you can tell she is an animal person! We will definitely use her again to dog sit!”

“Abby was amazing!! We contacted her last minute to dog and house sit over Labor Day weekend and she was able to accommodate. From the meet and greet we knew she was the right person to care for our dogs and our home. Great communication during our trip, and lots of pictures and cute videos of the dogs. They absolutely loved her!! I can’t say enough about Abby’s kind and caring nature. She’ll be our “go to” sitter in the future!!”

About: I’ve cared for seniors and disabled humans. All my pets have been rescues including dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits. Current work is with purebreds (not exclusively) and I’m training in scent tracking with 2 of them. My kids are grown and gone, I’m single and work from home, anywhere I have wifi. I walk pets early in the morning, and spend 90 minutes at the gym which is potentially the longest your pet would be without supervision and care. I require specific details about your pets routine, character and potential Veterinary needs and care, plus communication while you are away at your discretion. Owner preferences for change of habits requested (do they sleep with you? Treat/reward/training system? How are they in the car?).

“Grace met with our dogs before her stay - she was super responsive, on time, and the dogs loved her. We got pictures every day of our dogs on the trail, at the park, on walks. She took great care of our home while we were away. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”
