“Emily did a fantastic job with my dog Jack. She went beyond what we asked and made sure Jack had the best week full of walks and cuddles. We got regular updates and photos, and everything looked great when we got home.”

“Jenna was great! She took good care of our 3 pups, more than a handful! The house was super clean when we returned. And she was very responsive with communication, in fact she sent us photos of the dogs every day we were gone.”

“My two pups Ellie and River had a great time with Adam. It couldn't have worked out any better in my mind to have Adam at my house, allowing the dogs to stay where they are comfortable. This won't be the last time I work with Adam to come over and take car of my girls!!!”

“Gabe was an amazing dog sitter! He took care of our pup all weekend, staying in our home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly responsive, kept us updated with photos, and made sure our dog got plenty of walks and attention. Communication was excellent throughout, and we really appreciated the peace of mind knowing our pet was in great hands. Plus, our home was spotless when we returned! We’d absolutely recommend Gabe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and working with Mallory— we had a really positive experience, Mallory was enthusiastic to engage with our energetic pup, match her energy, and give her so much love and attention while we were away. Mallory also sent us updates so we could know how our dog was doing, and was very communicative. We will definitely have Mallory pet sit again when we travel!”

“The best dog sitter I have ever had!!! We received multiple updates a day with lots of pictures of a very happy dog, constant communication, and she went above and beyond what we asked for walks, attention, etc. Could not recommend more!”

About: Ever since I started as a sitter, I have made sure to take care of any pets with great care and attention! All pets under my watch will be fed and played with, loved like they are my own, and that they are healthy once you come home! While I do work full-time, I will make time for any pet in need, whenever you need it! Overnight or just a check-in, I have the time to make sure your pet is all taken care of so you don't have to worry and enjoy yourselves! I make sure that all pet's routines is met fully, that their energy needs are fully met and that they are healthy all day long, otherwise I'll make sure that they have the care they need!

About: I have had my own dogs for as long as I can remember. When I moved out I started helping the strays in the neighborhood. I do work Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. However I can always stay with the animal and walk them in mornings or evenings. I am pretty flexible on weekends. I am able to keep the dogs well groomed, well fed, as well as walking them and playing with them too. I can stay at the hosts house.

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.

“Highly recommended. We hired Nicholas to care for our Great Danes and my plants for 10 days. He stayed in our home and took fabulous care of our girls. Nicholas sent daily updates and pictures. He, also, reached out with questions that came up along the way. When we arrived home, our house was spotless, my plants and our pups were healthy and happy. I will reach-out to Nicholas for future visits.”

“Upon first meeting Lorraine, we knew she would be a loving, attentive, easy-going sitter for house & hound. She did not disappoint; she provided Ahi with so much love and attention, it gave us great comfort. It feels good knowing there is someone who treats our dog and home as we do. We hope we are able to employ Lorraine's services in the future.”

“Christy is great! She took such great care of my boys - who are a little high maintenance, to say the least. Sent me cute photos- she’s amazing!!”

About: I've been taking care of animals of all kinds throughout my life. Growing up on a horse farm, I was taught early on the importance of providing loving care for our furry friends. I had a love of my life Chihuahua for 13 years, and helped him stay comfortable through the end. I have a 2 year old rescue pup now, who is the sweetest boy in the world. I connect with dogs and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. We all know how sad it is to be separated from our loved ones, so I intend to make your dog feel safe and loved. I live on a quiet street with a fully fenced in yard, so your pup can run and play. Most importantly, I understand how hard it is to have to go away for work or personal reasons and have a safe sitter for your dog, I've been there. My goal is to take that stress off of your hands, knowing that your fur baby is as happy as possible you're away or busy. I work from home Monday - Friday and take my dog on walks every few hours. With my schedule, I am able to give my dog (and your dog) the attention and love he deserves. Nights are quiet and a great time to relax after the work day. We get a walk in before bed and then snuggle up. My dog does sleep in my bed, but I can accommodate bed or no bed for your pup! Quiet house is bright and comfortable. I live close to the dog park if that is preferred as well as close to small hikes. Dogs are always kept on leash unless it's ok on safe hikes to be off leash (always discuss with client). Lots of attention and love throughout the day.

“Finn had a great time with Lizzy and Banks. After a quick Meet & Greet, we had no reservations about having them in our home. She was very sweet and easy to communicate with. House was in great shape upon our return. Would book again, for sure!”

“Jackie was fantastic! She was extremely responsible and took care of my dog like she was her own. Jackie went above and beyond with making sure my dog had a fun day with her. I would definitely recommend Jackie for your pets!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labs and giving them several walks a day was always a high priority so they could burn up all that energy!I understand the importance of a good walk and how it can also be tough to squeeze in sometimes on a busy day. So don’t spend the day feeling guilty if your schedule won’t allow time to give your dog a walk. I can help. We usually let our dogs off the leash so they could run and fetch, but if you would rather me keep them on a leash that is what I will do. I have lived in the area for a while so I know plenty of spots to take them, or if you have preferred routes I will do that. On 3 occasions over the past couple years I have stayed with my sister and her husbands two dogs (lab mixed with Aussie Shepard) for a week at a time. They have as strict of a walking routine/diet as you can imagine and I had no problems satisfying their needs. I also understand that when traveling you cannot always bring your pet with you and putting them in a doggie hotel is both expensive and not a good time for them. If you’d like them to remain in the comfort of your home I’m happy to spend time with them and make sure they are comforted through that period. I work mornings from 5:30-noonish 5 days a week. I am available from 1 until 8 or 9 for walks or check-in’s, feeding, cleaning up. I’m a very active person so can take your dog on long walks, a hike or just play in the yard if preferred. My parents who are often not in town have a large very nice condo in elkhorn that is pet friendly that is available for use. There is an upstairs deck available off the living room for them to go between for them to get some fresh air The yard is not fenced so downstairs I could not leave them to roam. But neighborhood is quiet with a great path for walking them, also have trails out into the desert I could take them if alright.
