Pet Sitting Colfax

“This was our first time using a pet sitter and we struck gold with Keeley! All of our pets (even our very shy cat) felt comfortable with her, which gave us peace of mind while away. She was on time and thorough and just wonderful to work with. I already referred her to my neighbor. :)”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 11. From my dog, to my family member's dogs, I've taken them on walks, given medication through pill pockets, fed them, brushed them, played with them, and given them all the love and attention they could ever want! I'm working part time, so I can give as much attention as possible to your pets! I'll be constantly in the area, so no need to worry about your pet being alone for too long. I’ll take the fur baby (or babies) on walks, play with them, love on them, and everything in between! Any need they could have, I can meet.

“This is our second time using Mikayla and she’s amazing. She’s super communicative and goes above and beyond. We’ll be using her for all our trips!”

“Jesse is fantastic. My cat is not fond of other people, he hides and does not eat well. Jesse was able to get him to come out to her and interact with her. We thank you for the love you showed our family. We loved the pictures you sent and the updates we recievwd while we were away. Thank you Jesse.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets of all kinds for many years through helping friends, neighbors, and family members! I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m also comfortable with energetic puppies and senior pets that may need extra care and attention! I am working part time this summer, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for walks, check-ins, playtime, and feedings! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will treat your pets like my own by giving them lots of attention, exercise, and care while sticking to their normal routine. I’m reliable, responsible, and respectful of both your pets and your home.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.

About: I have had a plethora of dogs growing up all ranging from little Pomeranians to cattle driven Border Collies to Great big Danes! In my four years of pet experience, I worked with two Cane Corso’s training, walking, cleaning up all their drool, washing them, and overnight watching them from puppies together till I had to sadly leave them to come to school this year. I watched them everyday for 5+ hours, taking them on walks and always was willing to drive them to the mountains because I know how much they love the snow. I am willing to take your dogs anywhere to reach their maximum happiness and the 10,000 steps dogs need too! I never missed a day of sitting them and if I had to miss one, I always made sure to rely that information with plenty of time ahead. I am in the agriculture industry, and am strong enough and not afraid to deal with reactive and high energy dogs, since I have experience with both. I would love to see the adventures I can take your pets on! I am a student at the University of Idaho, but M/W/F before 8:30, and after 1:30 I am available to book any service! Tuesday’s I am free to give my undivided attention to any pup or cat! Usually my afternoons consist of homework and taking my own puppy on walks and to the park to play fetch. So taking care of animals and putting my time forward to pets is not second nature, it’s a routine! I make sure I keep my pup on a specific time of eating and walking during the week so she does not get stressed out or worried. I have a large dog crate in my home that can be used. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a large field behind me that me and a pet can go and play in. My house already has one pup who gets along with any type of dog and is very passive. She is not a huge cat lover.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life! My old dog had diabetes so I am comfortable with administering medication for animals. I am very flexible with my time and hours as well so please reach out! I have a part time job on the weekdays that gets out after 10 as well as school, but my weekends are free so I am always able to dog sit Friday-Sunday! I will follow any bounties and rules for my clients home to a T and will make your animals my first priority! I want to create a safe and loving environment for your animals while I am taking care of them!

“Rebeca is FABULOUS. I traveled to Mexico for spring break right as Covid was taking hold and she was extremely understanding when I almost got stuck there. She went above and beyond for my cat and my snake and made sure they were both happy and healthy in my absence. Highly recommended, friendly and flexible.”

“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior horses while I was out town. They required medication and special feed, and she handled it with ease. She was very professional and reliable, and the horses seemed well-cared-for and happy upon return. Thank you!”

About: I have my golden retriever that I keep energized daily and is very good with other dogs. I am a stay at home mom. I have been caring for dogs since I was young and have a large area for dogs to play in. I’m patient and loving with all sizes, shapes, and breeds. I have a 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter, and 1 year old that are used to dogs now and absolutely loves to play with them. I can always accommodate to any dog or cat. Old, young, energetic, aggressive, etc. I’m not a professional trainer but consider myself to train dogs very well. I have lots of time to give them attention and exercise! I’m excited to meet every single one! I live in a ground floor apartment. I have a part time job at the moment but looking to care for animals full time eventually! I absolutely love spending time with animals and would love to watch your friend! I give them lots of love and attention. We play fetch, go on walks, watch TV together, snuggle, play in the water during the summer.

About: As an incoming 1st year vet student, I have devoted over 8000 hours to veterinary medicine. This has given me experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, including young puppies, senior dogs, fractious cats, and medically complex pets. Additionally, I am a dog foster and have recovered medically complex pups from intense surgeries/traumas. Given those experiences, I am comfortable administering medications both orally and injectables, as well as recognizing signs and symptoms of illness. As well, I have a behaviorally complex German Shepherd of my own, and feel comfortable recognizing and avoiding triggers, or safely deescalating situations if they arise. I currently work at an emergency vet with varying shifts, including some overnights, weekends, and evenings. This also means I have many days I can spent my time exclusively with your pets to get some energy out during the daylight! I welcome the opportunity to discuss my schedule during your trip specifically! After a lifetime in veterinary medicine & kennel assistant responsibilities, I’ve learned the ins and outs of pet safety, especially with behaviorally complex pets. I am happy to work with each pet specifically to cater to where they feel best- whether that be crated, on the couch beside me, or anywhere in between!

“Alayna was great! Communicative and even took pictures of the care items on the list:) highly recommend her service!”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and ferrets. I have pet for both dogs and cats for numerous family members and friends. I currently nanny and walk their dogs with the kids every time I’m there. I have spent the night pet sitting and can keep track of medication, feeding times, bathroom times, and walking. One of my dogs growing up had leash aggression so I have experience with that. One of my cats has asthma and takes medication everyday so I can’t give medications if needed. I don’t work weekends so I am available all weekend. During the week I am always available after 3pm and could work in other times. I alway walk dogs on leash and be aware of my surroundings to make sure they are safe. I have indoor cats and a cat known for eating foreign bodies so I am good about keeping the environment safe and hazard free.

About: Currently I’m a vet student at WSU! I’ve just wrapped up my first year of vet school. My ultimate goal is to go into large animal medicine. I have lived with cats my entire life and have worked with dogs throughout high school and into college. I am currently fitting in part time animal care into my daily routine. It is something I enjoy doing and is an activity I enjoy making time for. In a clients home I would be ready and willing to feed pets and let pets outside. I would also be willing to play with pets and take them on walks.

“Emily was so easy to work with! She always responded to my messages right away and sent photos at each visit. She was even willing to give ear medication to my cranky senior cat. I would definitely have Emily take care of my pet again!”

Amy W.

“Amy did a great job dropping in on my kitty. She sent a message and a picture with each visit, whichi reallyappreciated. Boots really liked her. I'll definitely ask her again.”
