“Kara and Elizabeth helped us out with a last minute house sitting request! Very responsive and did great with our two large dogs and three cats. We would definitely rebook with them when we need a house sitter again.”

“Kysa was amazing! I highly recommend her. She stayed at our house and watched our two dogs. They were well taken care of and my house was left spotless. 10/10, I'd use her again!”


About: I have been around cats and dogs my entire life. I have experience working at a kennel as a dog groomer. I have helped raise multiple liters of kittens. I also have experience raising domestic rabbits, and I’ve had one as a pet for 8 years. With being a college student, I have a very flexible schedule. I have a few classes in the morning, so I am early morning, afternoon, and most evenings. I understand the importance of a daily routine for pets because I have my own pet. I understand the importance of leashing your pet when taking the outside. I also understand that some pets take a few moments to warm up. I’d appreciate clients who communicate the personality of their pets.

“Marissa did a great job watching our pups for the day. She was responsive with scheduling and flexible with our requests. We were able to enjoy a day tour without having to worry about the dogs being alone! Would highly recommend.”


“Ben and Jade are wonderful and our dogs loved them!”


About: I’ve been a part of taking care of my family dogs for my whole life. We’ve had a lab, two labradoodles, two cavalier King Charles’, and a pug so I am used to dogs of all sizes and attitudes. I have also worked with avalanche dogs in the winter time working on training for lifesaving techniques. I am currently looking to work as a dog walker between my seasonal jobs so I’m available seven days a week to work as people need it. I pay close attention to the dogs normal behaviors and moods and try to notice how they vary. Since dogs can’t talk, it’s really important to pay attention to their non-verbal behaviors to gauge how they are feeling.

About: With years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, I’ve provided pet sitting for everything from playful puppies to large dogs, as well as cats of all temperaments. I grew up with multiple cats and currently have two of my own—a Ragdoll and a shorthair—so I’m very comfortable with feline care, including kittens. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including insulin for diabetic pets, and have taken blood sugar readings to help manage their health needs. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, special care, or just someone they can trust, I’m here to help. I am in college so it’s the perfect job for me! Plus I love animals and want to be with them as much as I can! When caring for pets in their home, I stick closely to their usual routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. For dogs, that includes feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and belly rubs. For cats, I make sure litter boxes are clean, meals are on schedule, and they get the right mix of play, affection, or space—depending on their personality. I’m also experienced in administering medications, including insulin and checking blood sugar for diabetic pets. Whether it’s a kitten, puppy, senior dog, or special-needs cat, I provide calm, reliable care they can trust.

About: My family has owned pets for as long as I can remember. I have recently graduated from BYU Idaho with a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science. My goal is to become a veterinarian. Currently searching for a part time job, so I have lots of time to care for pets. When I'm gaining clinic experience, I am free in the evening, and any other day I'm available all day. I love playing with animals until they fall over panting, or snuggling up together. I stick to feeding schedules, provide clean water, and clean up messes.

About: I love animals! I have 3 dogs of my own and i love cats as well. Looking for the opportunity to be around other animals:) My work schedule is very flexible.

About: I love animals especially dogs. I like to take care of them and make them feel loved. I can wash them, feed them, play with them, and be someone the family and the dog can rely on. I'm always open to walking dogs and it will also help me get into shape as well. This won't only help the dogs but it will help me cope with mental issues I've been dealt with. Which to me would be amazing. I enjoy being around dogs and taking care of them. I have some experience taking care of my brothers dogs(feeding them, taking them out to go to the bathroom, and dog walking) and have taken care of cats(cleaned out the box, fed them, and played with them). I am pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of pets. I have my own dog that I take care of on a daily basis. I would let the client tell me what to do with the dog. I would be sensitive regarding the needs of each animal and make sure to take care of it the best of my ability.

About: Hello! My name is Taryn and I’m 28 years old, I’m a traveler who has officially settled down with my Idaho fiancé. I moved out west to continue my adventurous life. I have been out west for the last 8 years and I’m excited to be here! I’ve grown up breeding catahoulas In my family since the age of five. ( nursing, leash training, etc.) and showing them in cooning, hogging, and obedience! I currently have three dogs with my fiancé. named Blu moon (2yr old catahoula). He is my sidekick! Kiana and Kiba who are husky mixes. Unfortunately I Can’t afford anymore Lil animals at this time but I’d love to help take care of more furry babies and meet possible new friends for adventures and park play! Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions! I can’t wait to work with your pet! Pet care is currently my daily life and I would love to make this full time job. I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs so it comes very natural to me and I will love and treat them as my own. I like to take dogs for long mile+ walks or bike rides on the trails around town to really exercise them. I always make sure they are safe and comfortable afterwards making sure they are hydrated and fed on schedule.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets since I was age 7. Family and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets. I’m available 7 days a week. I can watch them at your house or mine depending on your schedule. They will have lots of play time during the day. I have a huge fenced yard, so there will be lots of room for running around and playing.I never leave them unattended in the yard. Plus I have two dogs that are pet friendly that would love the company. If you want help with extra training, please let me know.

About: Growing up I owned a miniature poodle, guinea pig, and several fish. Going into adulthood I had a bearded dragon, two border collie mixes and two snakes. I currently have two bearded dragons, an iguana, a leopard gecko, a frog, multiple fish, a hamster, a cat, as well as a german shepherd mix, I am comfortable around most animals and treat them as my own. My favorite thing about animals is the unconditional love they give. I know times are hard right now, I would love to help you and your beloved pet. Days and times may vary but I will work with you and do my best to accommodate all requests. I will not overbook or overcommit. Every animal deserves time and attention. I have reliable transportation to visit your pet, their safety and well being is my highest priority. I believe all dogs and cats need to be active and have mental stimulation as well as enrichment activities. I’m happy to provide long walks (for dogs), enrichment activities for both, and will treat all pets as my own.

Maria O.
“She is AMAZING!! She has many animals of her own and she loves them just like they're her own kids ❤️ I talk with her everyday and see her feed her animals, love them and take care of them and always see if they need to go potty or if they just want some extra attention ❤️ she takes her dog on walks every single day as well! Sometimes multiple times a day, because her dog loves to go on walks. Sometimes she will go on nature trails and walk around with her dog. She always makes sure to bring some water and some food along with her, just in case her dog gets hungry or thirsty! She's so sweet and loving with all of her furbabies. If I had an animal of my own, I would definitely trust her to watch my furbaby ❤️ She's even given me tips and tricks about animals, so that in the future, I know how to better take care of a pet! I really want to get a cat, and she told me some good ways to be able to trim their nails if they can't file down their nails by themselves! And how to befriend a really shy cat, that needs love and patience, before it will learn to trust me and be okay with my presence. The cat that I REALLY want to get, is very shy. The cats previous owner, had passed away due to old age. And the cat itself, is 10 years old. She told me that sometimes treats help lure out shy kitties, and just to be very patient with them! She also taught me the trick on how you can make a cat feel safe! Ever heard of the tooth brush method? You take a tooth brush, one that you will obviously not use yourself, and wet it under some water. Shake off a little water and find your kitty. When they're laying down and not being so active, you can softly brush their face, head and body with the wetted tooth brush. It's adorable, because it will remind them of their birth mother, cleaning them at an early age! It mimics the feeling of getting cleaned and I had no idea! That's also another way to slowly get a cat comfortable with you, if you can get that close to it! She has a lot of tips and tricks that I've learned over the years of knowing her. You can not find a better person to trust being careful, safe, loving and responsible pet caregiver!”
