Pet Sitting Depot Bench

About: I have experience caring for all kinds of small and big animals, including pets, farm animals, and even wild animals with conservation organizations. I love learning all the details of what constitutes the best care for each animal! I'm pretty good at basic training with dogs and puppies, and even kitties!! I give kitty and doggy massage and (reiki) energy, animals can feel our energy for sure! Sometimes I can intuitively pick up on little changes that could really help them. I'm a self-employed entrepreneur. I teach some yoga therapy clients, and have art healing sessions at different times throughout the week. These are short sessions, so I would only be away from the pet-sit house for a few hours, and planned ahead of time, but also able to be flexible as needed. I'm able to accommodate morning, midday, or evening times for all care needs. Occasionally I'm able to take a pet-sit dog on a walk with a walk client if everyone gets along, which I'm pretty good at facilitating actually, but I always ask first, and never push for it. I like to really check in with each animal and give them plenty of specialized attention. Especially at first, it takes a little time for them to build trust with a new person! I also like to keep to the routines that they expect. My cat gets treats upon waking, and before we go to bed, she likes the consistency. She likes variation in play-time and exploration, and I aim to help her build confidence in approaching new situations, she has been an amazing adventure cat and companion! I learn each pets favorite spot to chill, and when they do and don't want attention. I listen for, and learn their cues, and communication.

“Nugget was very well taken care of during our holiday vacation. Alinda sent multiple pictures from every visit, showed up on a regular schedule exactly as expected and stayed the full visit time to give Nugget plenty of attention in addition to the feeding and litterbox chores.”

“Christin is so kind and helpful! She’s been amazing with my new puppy and even my incredibly shy 7 year old dog who usually takes a very long time to warm up to people! I can tell she genuinely cares and that’s invaluable to me.”

“Sarah always does a fantastic job. Its always scary leaving my very senior (and grumpy) kitty in someone else's hands but I know he is well cared for by Sarah. I hope to continue to book with her for all my future trips.”

“Nicole graciously agreed to care for our dog over a holiday weekend with short notice. Our dog was happy and healthy, and Nicole's communication with us while we were away was awesome, thanks so much Nicole!”

“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!”

“Melinda was excellent watching my 2 pups! She was on time - showed up when she said she would and stayed the amount of time stated! She took very good care of my pups - including my 14 year old Abby. She took time to throw the frisbee to my full of energy 3year old Winston. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend!”

Kris S.

“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!”

Aurora B.

“Morgan was excellent in taking care of our bashful cat. Seeing pictures of the two of them getting along so splendidly made us relax and enjoy our vacation even more!”

Matthew W.

“Stephanie did a great job watching our pet for drop in service. She even went and got a little food for them because I didn’t buy enough. Can’t recommend her highly enough!”

Sterling C.

“Great communication with us and great care of our cat. We would definitely rebook with Ally”

Raquel C.

“Sara was exceptional in caring for my two whippets during my ski trip to Bogus. She arrived right on time for their dinner, followed all instructions perfectly, and provided detailed updates throughout her visit. Her genuine care for my dogs and professionalism make her my go-to pet sitter. Highly recommended!”

Mike C.

“Alanah is an absolute STAR! 10/10 will be booking with her again. She followed all our care instructions for our little kitty who takes medicine, and sent us updates and pictures regularly! 🐈‍⬛💞 She is a fantastic communicator and very caring and kind. If you are looking for someone to watch your furry friends while you’re away, we highly recommend booking with Alanah.”

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for over three years, and she’s a rescue, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. Some pets need a little extra patience and time to feel comfortable, and I’m happy to give them that! I’ve always loved animals and am an extremely responsible, attentive, and caring pet owner. My calm and patient nature helps create a comfortable environment where your animal can feel safe and at ease. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! I’m currently a graduate student living in downtown Boise with flexible hours, who can provide daily pet check ins and can easily do drop in visits mid day. Stepping into a clients home, I recognize animals may be confused or startled which is why I always respect pets boundaries. I strive to leave a home looking better than when I entered it. I always make sure to lock doors, close blinds and provide your pets with a safe space until you return home!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was about 12 for people in my town. I have various pets of my own back in my hometown. I have a dog, 3 cats, chickens, and cows and I loved them so much I decided to become a veterinarian. I have learned countless of tasks while working at a vet clinic, so I feel very qualified. I am a college student, so I have plenty of time outside of classes to help take care of other peoples pets. I have a lot of flexibility, so there are lots of times that work for me! I am able to do anything that you need me to do to keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy while they are under my care. I will treat them as if they were my own, if not better.

“This is our first time hiring Crystal. Feeding our cats is kind of crazy/complicated. However Crystal did a great job with that and everything else. Sent texts and pics each day. We will definitely hire her in the future.”
