“Tracey was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated throughout the weekend with multiple messages, which I really appreciated. I could tell Winston had a great time—he was completely worn out and slept the entire day after I picked him up! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”


“Tessa was happy to see us when we picked her up. Seemed comfortable with her temporary home, people, and their dog. Hard to debrief a dog on what her past few days have been like, though. ? We'll definitely return next time we go out of town.”


“AMAZING!! Mike watched our sensitive, kind of awkward and very large dog for 10 days and I could not say enough good things. Our dog was on the bed and sofa, under the covers and looked really happy. He is expensive but worth every dollar for the piece of mind knowing our dog was happy and safe going in long walks twice a day! I will be using him again.”


“Randy was so great! She was able to take care of Maggie with a little bit shorter notice, and went out of her way to make sure she had space to be outside even beyond her normal walks and playtime. I hope Randy is available next time I'm out of town!”


“Meg is so sweet!! She was communicative from the start, before we even officially booked an overnight! She kept me updated with pictures and messages telling me how the visit was going! She brought him on long walks, and he got to play with her kids who he loved. Could not recommend more!”



“Jennifer watched our Goldendoodle for 3 days/2 nights while we went on a river trip. I recommend her without reservation. You could tell she loves dogs and that dogs love her. She sent great updates during the stay. Our dog was clearly comfortable, safe, and cared for. Convenient in-town location. Would re-book in a heartbeat.”


“Absolutely! Here’s a short raving review as the dog owner, reviewing the sitter: I couldn’t be happier with the care Kiwi received - she came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved! Elizabeth sent us cute photos of the dogs and gave Kiwi a great hike. I’ll definitely be booking again when I need to and highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”


“I had Nicki watch my dog, Lucy, for a few days while we explored Jackson and Lucy had a wonderful time. Nicki and her daughters made Lucy feel right at home and I was so thankful for all of her pictures and updates from her time. I would definitely recommend her services.”


“This was our first stay using Rover and Liza and Zizi have set the bar high for all that follow! We felt completely comfortable having them care for our dog. Liza kept us up to date with photos and our dog looked like he was having a blast. He didn’t want to come home with us when we went to pick him up! I HIGHLY recommend them and if we are ever in town again we will for sure be booking with them. Thanks a million for everything!”


“I am so happy with our experience with Gabriela. We were in town for a few days and wanted to hike some trails where dogs aren’t allowed. We boarded our dog Libby with Gabriela for a few days and it seemed to go great! Libby loved Gabriela and her dog. Our Libby is very energetic and requires oral medications — Gabriela seemed great with this. She also was an excellent communicator both leading up to and during the booking. I highly recommend Gabriella — I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”


“Christine was wonderful with my dog! She provided him his own personal playmate (her dog) and an all around wonderful stay, making sure he was happy and felt at home. Thank you!”


“We are so thankful for Hannah! She came through for us when we needed a last minute dog sitter for a week!! She was amazing with our pup. Our pup came to her very anxious from a long day of traveling and she settled in perfectly with Hannah. Hannah was quick to respond and I would recommend her to anyone :)”


About: I have had household dogs since I was a baby I have grown up taking care of them. I dog sat for my parents frequently and still do. I am a nurse so I work 3 days a week with frequent large gaps. I am available most days and I walk on my days off. I am able to drop on visit to play with the dog, walk, feed, let outside on a flexible schedule. I can stay for awhile or I can do a quick drop in. I am flexible for the owners usual schedule for the pet!

About: I like to walk jog or hike, add a dog to that activity all the better! Recently I’ve house and dog watched for a week using an E collar and calming the dog while the family was away. Around Ketchum I’ve walked 5 different dogs as well as drop in for cats and a bunny. I grew up with three golden retrievers, constantly taking part in my chores of dog care at a young age. I currently am in the down season and do not work most days of the week. Therefore I am extremely flexible for multiple drop in per day. I have been out of the country for a year and that is why there is a gap from my last booking :) I love being outside going for hikes or walks even during winter! You’re dog and I can happily go for a run outside too. I’m very patience when animals need time to adjust to new people in their space as well.

“Niki and partner Matt at great - as soon as you drop them off you know they are in good hands with their kind and friendly personalities- they kept my Griff very active, very accommodating, when I picked him up he didn’t even want to leave - they were at a park together! Highly recommended”


“Katherine was wonderful! We were on a cross country trip and wanted to go into the national parks without having to worry about our doggo. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup, Stash, with her and her family. Katherine was very communicative with updates and coordinating pickup/drop offs. Stash was very well taken care of and loved on while we gone!”


About: I have experience with walking and handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, ages, and energy level. Depending on your dog’s activity level, we can hike, bike, ski, etc with your dogs. My husband and I work from home so we will be with your dog throughout the day. Your dog will receive the special care and attention that we provide to our own dogs! We walk dogs at least 3X a day. We are happy to accommodate each dog to their ability (ie short walks, long walks, hikes, runs, etc). We have a fenced in yard with shade. For food, we are happy to accommodate to the owner’s preference. We treat the dogs as if they are our own.

About: I love dogs ! I wish I could have a dog in my own, but because I’m traveling a lot would be to selfish to have a dog , they deserve a lot of attention and time ! I found a solution by finding this job ! I’m working part time at the airport and also as a massage therapist, walking and playing with dogs makes me excited! 🐶🐱💚I can take care of them while you can’t ! Safety first! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed to keep your dog safe and happy! You know better what’s good for your dog and I’m excited to learn that !
