Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Downtown, Boise, ID

“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!”

“She rocks! My little border collie mix, Sweetie, is a super fun dog but she has the energy of a thousand suns. I know it can be a little intimidating to work with a dog like her. But Janie just went for it! Walks all over the place and lots of fetch and swimming. And the pictures that she sends make me smile enough to know that Sweetie is well taken care of while I'm at work and doesn't have to sit at home being bored out of her mind. I am SO happy I got Janie!”

About: I have been an avid walker and dog lover for years. I am good with dogs and love spending time with animals making them feel happy, loved, and tired out after a long walk!! Living in Boise and working remotely offers me immense flexibility. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine through structured walks, playtime, and dedicated attention slots. My schedule allows me to adapt to a dog's specific needs, ensuring consistent care throughout the day and week, whether it's midday potty breaks or extended outdoor adventures. My approach to pet care, whether in my home or a client's, is built on a foundation of safety and trust. For in-home care, I conduct a thorough home assessment to identify any potential hazards. When caring for pets in their own homes, I meticulously follow client instructions, maintaining their routines and environment. My deep awareness of surroundings means I'm constantly monitoring the pet, the environment, and potential risks, prioritizing their well-being above all else. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid busy areas if preferred, and always carry water and first-aid essentials. Building trust with both the pet and owner is paramount, achieved through clear communication and consistent, reliable care.

“Danica has been very flexible and understanding of our schedule. And our dog loves her! Danica played with Scarlett and gave her lots of love. We will be using her again!”

Kendra P.

“Shannon continues to showcase her knowledge on how to handle sensitive animals. Our little Moonshine can get anxious and moody while we're away, but we were able to trust that she would be cared for and loved by Shannon until we returned. Thank you again!”

“Shyanne is so incredible, and I couldn't be happier that I found her! She took amazing care of my girl and gave the cutest updates and pictures. My cat loved her check-ins, and I was able to travel worry-free knowing she was in good hands. She was diligent about checking each time on recent health concerns. I also came back from.my trip to find that Shyanne had also taken the trash out. She definitely knows what she's doing when watching our most loved family member.”

“Kelly was great! My cat usually doesn't like strangers but she seemed to warm up to her right away. Kelly followed all of my instructions and checked in everyday with pictures. She also brought in a package I had delivered so it wouldnt stay outside. Would definitely book again! Thanks Kelly!”

Rach B.

“She was able to make arrangements to care for my cat on short notice, despite me being a new client. She seems very friendly took care of my cat as requested.”

April H.

“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.”

About: I love dogs and I know that most dogs are happiest with their families. I do everything I can to help guest pups integrate into our little dog pack and feel at home while their families are away. I’ve been dogsitting for quite some time now and have experienced all shapes and sizes. I love them all and enjoy getting to know their inner personalities and puzzling out what makes them content. We strive to have so much fun that the dogs are too tired to feel too sad. About our family/home: my wife and I both work from home and have flexibility to care for pups during the day. We have a fenced yard with a dog door and are close to the river, the foothills, a friendly dog park, and a quiet neighborhood for walking. River, 8, is a retriever mix who loves hikes in the foothills and the occasional game of chase or wrestle, but is pretty mellow at home. Theo, 1, is a golden retriever who loves all dogs and people. Both dogs have lot of experience playing with other dogs and hosting dogs in their home. We typically only take dogs from one household at a time unless we have indication that the dogs will get along well. We’ve also found that we all do best if a guest dog has a warmup period. Therefore, any dogs looking for a stay longer than 48 hours will be asked to do a trial run beforehand (a day of daycare or a night of boarding). This helps us ensure a peaceful and safe environment for all dogs and has the added benefit of helping a dog feel more comfortable when they return to a familiar place for their longer stay. Because we recently added a new puppy to our home, we are more selective than normal in which dogs we can board. Dogs with a history of aggression, excessive barking, or other behavior problems are not a good fit at this time. We do offer house-sitting on a limited basis. If you have a uniquely challenging dog or specific circumstances, reach out and we will see if we can make something work! We look forward to getting to know you and your dog. My partner and I both work from home, so we have a lot of flexibility. Dog needs come first in our home and we are happy to take work breaks to play or exercise. We have a fully fenced backyard with a dog-door. We live two blocks from a park that is great for fetch. Our neighborhood is great for walks.

About: Life-long dog owner, lover and trainer. My Aussie, Huck, is an experienced and friendly host. We host one guest dog at a time. I work from home. The yard is fenced, and there’s a handy window for watching the neighborhood. We enjoy hosting and caring for social dogs, and help them feel part of the pack while you're away. There’s walking, running and playing catch, and car rides for those who like them. I work part time from home, and have lots of time for dogs. I typically take them with me on short errands if they enjoy that. We like our guest dogs to feel like they’re staying with a friend, and keeping the routine they’re used to as much as possible. Ideally, our house is a place they’d be happy to come back to.

“Nicole gave me soooo much peace of mind watching my sweet little kitties! She sent awesome pictures and videos along with great communication. I would totally work with her again!”

“Emily did an amazing job taking care of our dog Louie! He's a very energetic guy and she was awesome and took him for both a run and walk in the same day. We could tell he was well taken care of and would highly recommend Emily. We look forward to using her in the future!”
