About: I started sitting in earnest four years ago, but grew up with my own dogs and often babysat for friends and family in high school and college. I’ve cared for Greyhounds, Border Collies, Shihtzus, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, APBTs, one Mastiff, one Akita, one senior German Shpeherd, and one Border Terrier/Shihtzu puppy. I’m a teaching artist, so my fluctuating schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dogs, but the long periods of remote work and time between gigs means I have very flexible availability and can fill the hole in my heart by being a reliable, loving sitter for others. I really cherish any opportunity to spend time with any pups and look forward to meeting yours! I’m between gigs at the moment, so save some odd appointments, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening drop in walks, daytime sitting, or longer overnight stays and in-home sitting. I always prefer to take a walk with pet parents leading when I first meet new dogs to get a sense of what they’re used to. For multi-day sitting, I always follow whatever norms you set in your home to make sure training stays consistent and there’s no confusion that may create anxiety for your pups. If working remotely, I try to stay where pups can see me and take lots of breaks for walks, pottying, and pets. Unless you have a specific walking route, I like to stay on quieter streets with slower speed limits and less traffic so walks are calm. I also like to allow lots of time for sniffing (smells stimulate your pup’s brain!) unless you have behavioral or training concerns about avoiding distractions during walks.

“Andrew took great care of our dogs on our daily dogwalking needs. He was flexible in adjusting times when we needed to, we would definitely use his services again!”

About: I've taken care cats, dogs, and guinea pigs since I was a little kid. My family was super adventurous and we took our dogs everywhere with us. Growing up we fostered cats and dogs of all breeds and ages. I am a professional cross-country skier so I am very active during the day. I can go on many walks or runs with your dog if needed. I will be out for two hours in the morning and then free until the afternoon. Our cats are indoor cats because of our busy street. However, growing up we would let our cats out for however long they wanted and then let them in. We had a revolving door so when we were home they were allowed to go out. I will try to make you feel as comfortable and safe as possible when watching your pet.

About: I have grown up my whole life with animals, always a dog and a cat in our home. I go into any situation with an open mind and heart and I don’t let any sort of task daunt me. I walked a large huskey all throughout highschool and cared for my own pets with walks and other interactions. I find it very important to connect with animals on an emotional level and I try to do so with any animal I meet. I work in Sun Valley four days a week, but I am always open to discuss your pets’ needs and make adjustments if possible. If you are interested in me as a sitter, but wonder about what a schedule would look like, please reach out and I am more than happy to talk options! Additionally, I have a car so transportation is not an issue. With my own pets I am very loving and I try to spend quality time playing together or sitting together and relaxing. I plan to treat any pet I care for with the same mentality because it is important that pets trust the people who care for them and the best way to create trust is by establishing a caring bond.

About: As a dog mom, I know how important it is to you to make sure your dog receives the proper care. I’m an avid dog lover with ample experience dog walking and sitting for friends and family. I am both attentive, caring, and trustworthy. Dogs tend to warm up to me quick. Instinctively, I think they sense I am a good person who is going to take good care of them. Please feel free to reach out to me! I am available on both weekdays and weekends for dog walking. I have a car and a flexible schedule. I was born and raised here so I know the area very well. As I love dogs, I am more than happy to help out with your pouch. Look forward to hearing from you and to meeting your pooch! :)

About: Hi my name is Janis, I have lived in the wood river area for the past 5ish years and love it out here! I have grown up my whole life around dogs and I have also done many dog sitting and housing sitting jobs throughout the years. I love running, nordic skiing playing fetch and being outside in general so if you have a dog with a lot of energy we will be a good match. If you have any questions about me feel free to message me, I'm willing to work with you in order to make you and your pup feel comfortable. I look forward to hearing from you! I have a flexible day time schedule so I am able to get the dogs out for a run, hike, bike, ski during the day. I have a small border collie husky mix named panda. She is really sweet and playful and gets along with all dogs. I also have a white border collie mix named ziggy who is super playful and loves all dogs and cats! I unfortunately can’t have more dogs in my home, but am happy to house and pet sit and will be sure to take great care of your place!

About: I have always had more than two dogs throughout my life, and getting to take care of them is my favorite part of my day! Pet sitting fits well into my weekly routine because I am responsible, dependable, and have a flexible schedule. I can provide pets with regular feeding, exercise, attention. I provide safe, attentive care for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention.

“Adam was great with our Pyrenees. Our dog seemed very comfortable with Adam.”

About: Hi there! I'm Hannah and I have always enjoyed spending time with dogs. Growing up, my family always had a dog. Currently, I have a husky/shepherd mix. I am very athletic and enjoy walking, especially with a furry friend. I am enthusiastic, energetic and compassionate. Over the years I have taken care of my neighbor's pets as well as my coworker's. I look forward to meeting you and your doggo! I am an actress/ singer/ dancer. I also teach voice lessons and sing with local bands in the valley. My schedule is flexible as it varies weekly. My house is dog friendly. There will always be a water bowl for your dog, and I am very attentive and consistent with things like meal times, going out for fresh air and picking up after your dog.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m here to give them the care, attention, and love they deserve. What makes me different? I take the time to really get to know each pet their quirks, their routines, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their humans. I have experience with basic puppy training (like leash walking, potty habits, and socialization), and I’m comfortable helping senior pets with mobility support, medication, or just offering a calm, caring presence. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like one of my own with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible and reliable schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. I’m also available on weekends and open to overnight stays if your pet needs a little extra company or consistency while you’re away. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I’m here to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved. I usually care for pets in their own homes, as I live in a small apartment without a yard. This helps keep pets comfortable in familiar surroundings and reduces their stress. Whether I’m at your home or assisting with other needs, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines, while providing plenty of love and attention so your pet feels secure and happy.

About: I have taken care of animals, whether they are my own or my neighbors since I was a child. I have fed, walked, bathed, given medications to, and played with most types of animals. I just moved to the area, so I currently have all the time in the world to hang out with your fur-babies. I have two cats of my own and I love to play with them, but I love meeting new animals and making friends. My cats have free roam of the house, and they are very well behaved. They are allowed outside with a harness on, and they love to explore. When taking care of animals in a home that is not my own, I typically ask what the owner prefers to do, and that will be my default for the time period I am caring for that animal.

“Amy is truly exceptional. Her communication skills are top-notch, she's always punctual, very friendly and being around her naturally puts you at ease. I will be booking more dog walking sessions with her! My pup came back thoroughly exercised and in the best mood—tired yet content and mellow.”

About: Hi! I’m Nova! I am a college student at Idaho State University home for the summer with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for ALL animals. I have roughly four years of unofficial experience caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family, including dog walking, dog sitting, overnight care, cat care, and chicken care. I have experience caring for my own pets, including three dogs and one cat. I understand how important it is to provide pets with attention, patience, exercise, and consistent care. I enjoy spending time with animals and will meet your pet where they are. There is always time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you, their owners, are away. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet care. I am available throughout the summer until I return to school in early August. If there is time I have blocked off, I always communicate clearly and work closely with pet owners to make schedules work whenever mutually possible. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, attentive, and caring looking after your pet. Safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable are very important to me when caring for animals. I always try to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, waters / meals on schedule, and a good environment. I am also willing to provide regular updates and communication so you owners feel confident in your pet care. I primarily offer care in clients’ homes and through dog walking visits, as I have pets of my own at home and this helps simplify care for you and me! I find that many pets are also more comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they can keep their normal routines and surroundings. I always respect clients’ homes, follow instructions carefully, and make pet safety my top priority during walks, visits, and overnight stays.

“So easy to communicate with, thank you so much for the walk:) Highly recommend”

About: Born and raised on a ranch surrounded by all kinds of animals, I’ve always had a deep love for pets. We have a big Bernese Mountain Dog (and dogs!) who do everything with us. I’m a former wildland firefighter, so I love being outdoors—which means our dogs are always off on adventures. My family and I live a very active lifestyle, so if you’d like, I am more than happy to help keep your dogs exercised and engaged. Our family loves Blaine County, and I’m more than willing to travel throughout the county to care for your pups. We also love ending the day with a walk on a trail and relaxing with a movie. I would love for your dog to become a part of our family—we have plenty of love, energy, and attention to give. 🐾💛 I am a SAHM with very active kiddos, but do this when they are at school. It works great for us, and allows me to get more puppy time in. Because I have older dog who is stuck in his ways, I do not offer boarding. But that can and probably will change in the future:)

“Jackie was wonderful! I had to ask her last minute to walk my 80lb baby and she took the time and effort to come meet us both beforehand to get acquainted. She took great care of him and sent lots of pics for my peace of mind :) highly recommend!!”

If your dog thrives on adventure, chill time, or a little of both, I’ve got them. Let’s make their time with me feel like a mini vacation. I work for a local non profit and have a flexible schedule for the most part, working from and the office when I have meetings. I can easily sync with your schedule and your dog’s routine.

About: There has never been a time in my life where I have not cared for and lived amongst a menagerie: dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats, all animals. I love creatures and am confident in their care! I am currently a freelance horticulturist, self-employed. Pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle. I am always looking for pet snuggles and adventures every day. I would only be available at the moment for care in your home. I am a trustworthy, mature adult that mostly wants to do yoga and read. No parties, no incidents, no stress.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with a passion for caring for pups of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or just some cozy couch time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home—whether you’re gone for the day or away for a week! Dogs bring so much joy and balance to my day. I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they need—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or winding down with cuddles in the evening. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to enjoy! I have a yard where they can safely run around and play, or just relax on the porch and soak up the sunshine.
