Pet Sitting Collister

About: We’ve been dedicated and compassionate lifelong pet owners with over 30 years’ experience pet sitting. This has provided us hands-on, real-life experience caring for animals through every stage of life—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. We understand that pets are family, and treat every animal in our care with the same patience, attentiveness, and love we give our own. What sets us apart from other sitters is our personal, individualized approach. We take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. We’re calm, observant, and reliable, which helps us quickly recognize changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. Special Skills & Care Experience • Puppy care & basic training support (house-training routines, leash manners, positive reinforcement) • Senior pet care, including slower-paced walks, mobility assistance, and medication reminders (as instructed) • Experience with anxiety-prone or shy pets • Maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and enrichment activities • Clear communication with pet parents, including regular updates and photos We believe trust, consistency, and kindness are the foundation of great pet care. Our goal is to provide an stress-free experience for both pets and their humans—so you can relax knowing your pet is in capable, loving hands. As stay-at-home pet parents, we have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows us to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day. We’re home most of the time, which means pets in our care are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. This availability also allows us to closely monitor behavior, comfort, and routines, ensuring each pet receives personalized care and plenty of love and attention. Safety, trust, and comfort are our top priorities in every pet care setting. Whether caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we follow each pet’s routine closely to maintain a familiar and stress-free environment. We ensure all spaces are clean, secure, and free of hazards, and carefully supervise pets during play, feeding, and walks. We respect household rules, use leashes and safety protocols at all times, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. Our goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel safe, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.

“Excellent and caring sitter. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have walked and boarded dogs for 10 years. I am new to Rover. I love taking dogs for walks and getting them some exercise and enrichment. I work 9-5, with time for walks during lunch, before work, and in the evenings. Weekends can include up to three walks a day, including longer walks. At home, or with clients, dogs get a good watchful eye to ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. With an adventurous pup of my own, I am careful to remove any “escape opportunities”

“NM was able to come and take care of my 3 high maintenance cats at the last minute on a holiday weekend, and she was so great! I will definitely hire her again!”

“Great experience! Our cat was happy, the house perfect and Alinda was so kind to help me out when I needed a little favor. If you are looking for someone she is a great choice. Next trip I’ll contact her again.”

“Sierra was so nice and sweet with my pup. I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and even sent me multiple pictures. My dog loved her and seemed to have a great time!”

Beka G.

“Liz and Anna were great. It’s pretty apparent they love dogs as my pups were in good hands. They were also very thoughtful in their questions to understand my needs while I was away. Highly recommend them!”

“Annemarie did an amazing job looking after Cricket. Cricket historically has not warmed up to Pet Sitters, however Annemarie is now Cricket's new best friend. Setting in her lap, receiving brushings and wanting to play, this we have never seen before. We highly recommend Annemarie for your pets as she is compassionate and great communicator. We got pictures and updates daily while in Europe. Hard to believe the change in Cricket, this is a first!”

“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Atticus is great with all three of my cats for both in home and drop in bookings. 5/5”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles for over 15 years. I am familiar with the needs of senior animals and special diet or medication requirements. I am excited to get to care for your pets! I work 2 part time/ PRN positions as a phlebotomist which lets me create my schedule ahead of time, so I will have plenty of availability during the week or weekend to stop in or stay overnight. Pets cared for at your home will feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I will be able to play or take your pet for a walk around your own neighborhood.

“Josey was absolutely fantastic for our pups Sailor and Zazu. She communicates well, often, and is thoughtful in asking questions. If you are like me it is the most comforting to have someone you trust, your dogs love, and shows up for them when they need her. I will absolutely be checking to see if Josey is available for future visits!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience as an emergency vet tech. In addition to that have been a caring pet owner all of my adult life. Since becoming a human physical therapist I also got certified in canine physical therapy. We recently moved to Boise and I am currently working part time. I have time in the early morning and midday for longer walks and drop in visits. I love walking/light jogging. Seeing a dog enjoying a walk makes me so happy! Reducing a pets stress when their owner is out of town is important!

“My animals loved Sydney! She was great! Sydney was thoughtful enough to check on my outdoor plants and goldfish (which we forgot about) while she was caring for the other animals. I would absolutely use her again.”

Sarah H.

“Amelia was so great with Sleepy Kitty! I consistently received updates and photos of my girl during visits. She made sure to come by beforehand and get to meet me and Sleepy, and see where her food, litter, and treats were prior to sitting. All litter was taken outside and she cleaned up Sleepy’s accident for me. Amelia made sure my needy Sleepy Kitty got all the snuggles she wanted! Plus, she helped lug in my million packages from Amazon all week haha! Looking forward to booking with Amelia again in the future, would absolutely recommend!”

“I am so glad that we found Holly to take care of our 2 dogs! We had to find a pet sitter with only 4 hours notice to do a meet and greet. Holly texted us back right away! She was so nice and kind during the meet and greet. and we booked her. She had the greatest communication with us during her 2 pet visits and sent us photos and videos while we were gone! She fed the dogs and talked to them like they were her own. We will be using her exclusively from now on! You can count on Holly to take care of your pets. I trust her completely! 10 stars out of 5 !!!”

Chris B.

“absolutely fantastic! she was always on time and never failed to send updates (especially funny pictures of the babies)! 10/10 will definitely use her every single time we leave town and have to leave the pups at home”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing medication, and I always go the extra mile for their comfort. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays mostly, but I can do all other days after work! I can provide regular walks and drop-ins that fit your schedule. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent. I keep things clean, respectful, and calm. I’ll give your pet the love and attention they deserve, while keeping you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was young and have pet sat for friends neighbors and family members. Along with pet sitting I have 2 pooches of my own one of which requires some extra special care. I have experience taking care of pets of all ages and sizes, my experience does not stop at dogs as I have taken care of cats, lizards, and chickens as well. I am a full time student with availability at the beginning and end of each day and some here and there in the middle, I also work full time on the weekends but make sure to stop in on pooches during my breaks, overnight, or before and after work to give them the attention they so deserve! As a pet owner we want only the best for our pets, as a pet sitter we want to keep your pets in their most comfortable and safe space your home! Keeping them happy and healthy and respecting your ways of keeping them whether that be crates to keep them away from mischief or free roaming as the ruler of their space. The goal is to keep them comfortable and stress free with ample amounts of love and attention.

“Wendy is excellent! She is punctual, kind, and respectful. She is great with our new rescue dog, and takes care of her like one of her own! Wendy took time to meet our dog prior to drop in visits to make sure she’d be a good fit. I highly recommend her to take care of your pup ☺️”
