“Michelle took wonderful care of my two kitties in my absence, and was kind enough to also feed the ferals that frequent my front door. I’m grateful for her help, and look forward to the opportunity to seek her services again in the future. Thank you!”


“Amazing and caring in all she does. She physically and verbally shows her compassion for dogs and welcomes them into her arms like her own family. Very respectful and always willing to help. Highly recommend if you’re in Boise!!”


“Caitlynn has cared for our cats a few times, and she does an exceptional job each time. Very professional, friendly, and attentive. She is respectful of my cats and their differing personalities, and I think that sets her apart from others!”


“Aaron continues to provide great care to my two cats. He is attentive and in constant communication as needed. I strongly recommend Aaron -- you and your furry friend(s) will be in good hands. Thank you Aaron.”


About: I love all kinds of cats and dogs. I love learning more about animal behavior and I believe in communication with them through their language. Waking up every day to 2 of the sweetest fur babies inspires me to take care of myself to take care of them. I know taking care of dogs is just what I need to fill my curious mind and keep me in the flow. I understand they have a better nose and ears then us and therefore are meant to be taken seriously. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs, they are kept separate.

“Kalli is great. Her cards are thorough, her pictures numerous, and you can tell how much she cares for animals. I'm definitely planning on booking Kalli again for future trips out of town.”


About: I am very active. I like to play and move. If your pet needs energy used I would love to find out how long they go. Outside of this play style my family and I have an elderly cat that we do special care for. For example, special treats, water treatment, food, and toys. The cat we have is given special treats that help joints and hips. We use special food to help digestion. We give massages to her variously throughout the day/week more so when needed. I am the go to pet sitter for many of our family friends. I frequently play and visit with their pets. I am cautious on opening the door being aware of what may be near the other side to get out. Moving my way in to the house I will call the pet by name if they’re not by the door to give them affection. If they don’t come by the door I will go search for them to make sure they are okay and greet them in their area if they seem to be comfortable for a greeting.

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer. I LOVE dogs!! The more the better. :) I work from home sometimes, go to the treasure Valley dog Island dog park once a day - 5+days a week, have a flexible schedule, have a great park nearby for walks, and LOVE animals! I have had dog & cat companions my entire life. I have also cared for the pets of friends, family, coworkers, and more when they have gone out of town. I will take care of your fur baby as if he or she was my very own. I have a sweet dog named Piggy, and a dog-loving cat named Doof at home. I take my dog on walks to the nearby park daily, and also to the dog park once a day. I have tons of time to devote to caring for your pet, and am excited to meet many new furry friends!! :) My schedule is very flexible. I am available most days & times for boarding, pet sitting, walks, dog park jaunts and more! You name the activity, day & time - and I can probably make it work! I am here to make you feel safe and comfortable, knowing your friend is in good hands with me. I live in a dog-friendly apartment near Cole & Fairview. I do not have a yard, but I take walks continually throughout the day and trips to the dog park also. I would love to board a friend for Piggy. I am also free to house/pet sit at your location, but will only be able to stop by for potty breaks during the day and at bedtime/morning. I cannot stay the night unfortunately. I work from home sometimes! My schedule is flexible. I can usually work with my client’s time schedule just fine. Just let me know what you need. I have cared for many pets and have many great reviews on Rover. You can trust that I care for any Rover pet as I would my own babies.

About: Hi there, fellow dog lover! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by... I live in the beautiful North End of Boise and have been pet sitting for years, caring for everything from high-energy pups to wise old senior dogs and plenty of cats, and occasionally horses, and small animals too! I grew up around Saint Bernards, so I’ve been wrangling big dogs since I could walk. Our house was kind of a magnet for animals in need....strays, rescues, you name it. We never turned them away and either kept them or helped find them forever homes with family and friends. That experience shaped how I care for animals today...patient, flexible, and with a lot of heart. I’m comfortable with pups of all ages and temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, you name it. Also, please ask me anything if you can't find it in my profile! I'm happy to discuss extra services that you or your pet needs to feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away! I'm a hiker, mountain biker, and love long walks! I am recently retired early from the tech industry and now have time to give back to my community and neighbors! I'm available 7 days a week, and for overnights if needed and if the fit is right! Contact me anytime, and we can coordinate something that works, whether it's just hanging out with your pet or having a fun adventure! I've lived a lifetime with pets and rescued animals, so for me they are family. I treat all living things with respect, understanding, and care. I'm always thinking ahead of potential scenarios when planning any outings, making sure I'm prepared with extra leashes, treats, and/or a strong understanding of an area and what to expect.

“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 !!!”


About: I was raised around pets my whole life. I currently love and care for my own two cats while assisting friends and family with their fur babies. I am comfortable walking, brushing, bathing, feeding, and cleaning up after dogs. I am a recent doctoral graduate and am hoping to fill some time caring for our four legged friends. I will be out of work for about two months, so I will be available most days and times unless I am out of town. I am clean, respectful, and safe especially in others’ homes. I will only enter areas of the home necessary for pet care and cleaning up after myself and pet if any messes are to be made!

“Kensey was so great! I booked her for drop in visits to feed my old kitty and clean his litter boxes. She always sent photos during her visits which gave me peace of mind during my time away. I would definitely recommend her for your next trip.”


“Renee went above and beyond on her drop-in visit to check in on our two cats while we were away! Very detail oriented, easy to communicate with, and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with new fur friends. Will definitely book again!”


“Elizabeth always takes great care of my cat! She communicates quickly, sends fun pictures, and even keeps the room where the litter box is looking clean.”

“Chelsy was great while we were away camping! She followed our care instructions, let us know if anything had happened at the house, and was very kind.”


“Kristi is always great! She did daily drop-ins to give meds to my cat while I was in the mountains, and helped out with my other cat. She even worked around the pet sitter who was house sitting. I loved receiving all the photos from each day when I reentered cell range. It was such a great feeling.”


About: I have been caring for both dogs and cats since I could walk. I have three furry friends of my own at home! My family has always been huge on providing animals love and attention, so much so that I can’t imagine my life without animals in it! I currently work full time, but have flexibility in working remotely, and leaving the office as needed. My weekends and evenings are always open, and I’m looking to keep myself busy caring for animals! I provide attention and love to all animals I care for. Being on time is important, especially for pets on stricter schedules! I can hang out with anxious animals, take eager pups on walks, and make your pet feel comfortable at home while they wait for your return.

“I had a wonderful experience with [Catsitter's Name]. She was kind, upfront, and clearly loves her work. Her flexibility made scheduling easy, and most importantly, my cat took to her right away. It's a relief to know my cat was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”


“A great experience having Dusti come and check up on my pet! I enjoyed the pictures during the check in for me enjoy while at work!”


About: I come from a household of animal lovers who always adopted and housed feral animals. From dogs to cats to birds. For fun, I’ve always looked after friend’s pets when they were away. I work a job that allows me a lot of free time and I figured what’s a better way to spend that time that to go walk a dog here and there for some nice companionship. I live in a pretty secluded area that’s fenced off. I’m also pretty good at making sure pets don’t run out of the house if that were to be a possibility.

Xavier F.
“Xavier is the one if very few I trust with my baby. All dog owners know they are our babies, and letting others care for them is a big deal. When Gucci (my doggo) is with Xavier, I know he’s in good hands and I have zero worries about his care. Xavier is always attentive to Gucci anytime he’s watched him, making sure he eats on time, that he gets play time in, and he gets good walks in. Guccis a bigger pit bull so he can be hard to walk sometimes when he wants to pull on his leash/trying to venture on his own, but Xavier always shows patience and control with him. 10/10 recommend him for all dog care services!”


Jennifer B.
“Jennifer is the best! She’s is friendly, kind, and not to mention, she does great with my “slow to warm up” pit Bull / cattle dog mix! My pup was attacked on leash as a puppy and ever since is apprehensive on leash. Jennifer appreciates and respects this on her walks with my pup and as such I’ve noticed a solid progression. Her patience and understanding does not go unnoticed and has done wonders for me and my furry friend. I would highly recommend her for your pup too!”


Cynthia T.
“Cynthia is a fantastic pet sitter—reliable, attentive, and especially great with cats. She took excellent care of both of my cats while I was away, making sure that my senior girl got her medications. Meals were on time and my cats got plenty of affection. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”

Shannon P.
“Shannon is amazing with my two dogs! I have 2 chihuahuas with a lot of personality. One is very timid around all people and selective on who she'll go to. Shannon came over to meet them and my timid one took right to her with no concerns. She is attentive, gives them lots of love, and reliable. Would absolutely recommend Shannon to anyone looking for pet care.”
