“Stephani is so great with my two high energy dogs, very reliable, and always respectful of my home. She gives me great peace of mind, knowing that my dogs are in such good and caring hands.”

About: Hi, we’re a family of 5 in the lower Highlands area. Sadly, we lost our family dog, Friday, last year. He was a high energy husky mix. We miss him. However, we aren’t ready to commit to adopting another dog just yet. We’d love to watch yours though. We are right across from Harrison hollow and we’re an active, outdoor family. We have three kids: 8, 6 & 4 years old. We’ll take great care of your pooch. My husband and I both work from home & love to get out on walks during the day. We are both very active throughout the day. We have a back yard that is fenced in & room to run around in the back. We live close to walking trails and the foothills where we will take your dog on walks.
About: Hi there, fellow pet lovers! 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, as well as plenty of cats and occasionally other small animals. From energizing dog walks to cozy cat visits, overnight companionship to reliable drop-in services, I'll handle life's logistics so you can savor life's moments. Consider me your trusted ally who is dedicated to enriching your pet's daily experience while simplifying yours. 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. Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure. I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your pet is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out! Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, play time, 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 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.

“Niki is a fantastic dog walker that always brought our pup back with a smile on his face. Every time she came to the door, he would get super excited knowing he was about to go on an adventure with her. I Definitely recommend Niki if you are looking for a trustworthy dog walker that will wear your pup out!”

“I was so worried about transitioning from Daycare to leaving my pup home all day and having Laramie has been so great. She made it super easy to set up the visits and always sends a photo or two so I know how he is doing during the day. She’s gives him his treat before he goes so he has something to do to keep him busy for a little longer which helps me feel better about the day alone. He’s been doing great with the transition and seems happy being home which is great!”

My current dog has gone through clicker training with me, so beyond the basics, I have a working knowledge of behavioral commands. I have a lot of friends with dogs, so if your desire is to have your pup socialize while I am caring for them, that is easily done. I will care for your pup as it were my own. I also have taken a first aid for dogs class. I am available any time and flexible with working around my primary job's schedule.
“Kellan has come twice now to walk our dog Kiyomi. We are extremely happy to have found Kellan, Kiyomi is too! As an Akita, Kiyomi is super protective of her home, and of us. But, right away she "fell in love" with Kellan. This alone is a book in itself, and rare for her. I also have pretty keen discernment, I can tell you the trust and ease is established. Kellan will be staying at our home soon for several days, and for the first time I am NOT panicked about leaving Kiyomi. In fact, they will probably have more fun than we will! Ha! He is truly a Blessing to us!”
About: From farm to in-home caring for animals is the key to my heart and happiness. I am honored by their love and presence and whole heartedly believe they need the same. I have the privilege of working part time for myself which gives me the freedom and flexibility to care for your furry family members while you’re away. Feeding at times given, walks or playing. Snuggles or rest. If there are medical needs to be met then giving appropriate treatment and care to guarantee health and wellbeing.

“Ryan was an excellent communicator and great to work with. My dog was excited to make a new friend and I was relieved to leave him in good hands. I will definitely rebook in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and give lots of love to their pets. I’m very responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to routines and safety. As a healthcare worker, I’m calm under pressure and comfortable monitoring behavior changes, medications, or special needs. I truly treat every dog like my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks and drop-ins. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own. I currently help care for my sister’s two dogs and stop by daily to walk them, feed them, and spend time with them while she’s at work, so I’m very familiar with maintaining pets’ routines and making sure they get the attention they need. I follow feeding routines, crate preferences, medications, and any special instructions carefully so pets can stay on their normal schedule. With my healthcare background, I’m calm, observant, and quick to notice if something seems off. I also have experience caring for large dogs, including my Bernese Mountain Dog, and I treat every pet like family. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, crate preferences, medications, and any specific instructions from the owner. I currently help care for my sister’s two dogs and stop by daily to walk them, feed them, and spend time with them while she’s at work, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs and maintaining their routines. I always keep dogs on leash during walks, stay aware of our surroundings, and make sure pets are secure and comfortable in the home. With my healthcare background, I’m calm, observant, and quick to notice if something seems off. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and relaxed while their owners are away.
About: I've grown up with dogs and have been a resource for friends and neighbors to rely on for taking care of their pets while they are traveling or at work. Happy to travel around the treasure valley, McCall, and Sun Valley areas! I work from home a lot of the time, so I have a great schedule for walks, activities and lots of love. I try to spend as much of my free time outside at parks, on walks or hikes and just outside in general! I do not currently have pets and am willing to travel to your home for pet car and overnight stays. I will take great care of your pet and offer a safe, loving friend for them while you are away.

Caroline is truly the best! She takes such great care of our rescue Pittie, Penny. Penny gets so waggy when she sees Caroline, and Penny can be very particular about who she will go for walks with. Caroline is thorough, friendly, kind, and prompt. We always hire Caroline when she is available!
