Dog Walking Highlands

About: I am always the first person to volunteer to petsit because my parents did not want pets when I was growing up! So I am of course the cool aunt and/or godmother to many of my friends and familys pets. Consider me the cool mom. Snacks and snuggles are ready for your pet at all times! I currently work remotely so I have an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to petsit when I want! I can go on walks, cuddle, and feed your pet whenever they need! I happily petsit at my clients house so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own spaces. I will ensure your house stays clean and tidy during my stay!

About: I grew up in a small town where neighbors regularly relied on one another for help with their pets during vacations and long trips. Because of that, I gained early, hands‑on experience caring for animals during extended stays and learned how to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and at home. Whether your pet prefers to run and play or relax with cuddles I will adapt to their needs. I am currently a full-time student at Boise State University majoring in Diagnostic Radiology. I have clinicals Monday and Friday generally between 8-6 pm. I am more than happy to do early morning and evening care on clinical days. Unfortunately due to my changing schedule I cannot book weekly visits. I will ensure your pup feels right at home. If they have specific routines that make them feel more comfortable let me know, I am more than happy to learn!

“Outstanding service Stephani is absolutely wonderful! Reliable and clearly loves dogs. She took my semi-friendly bulldog and turned her into a well behaved and well socialized girl. Thank you Stephanie!!!”

About: I have walked and boarded dogs for 10 years. I am new to Rover. I love taking dogs for walks and getting them some exercise and enrichment. I work 9-5, with time for walks during lunch, before work, and in the evenings. Weekends can include up to three walks a day, including longer walks. At home, or with clients, dogs get a good watchful eye to ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. With an adventurous pup of my own, I am careful to remove any “escape opportunities”

“Hatcher did a great job with my Alfie! He walked him around the neighborhood while I was at work, and he sent me several pictures of him, which really made my day! He was highly communicative throughout the whole process, which I really appreciated.”

“Addison is always on time and takes great pictures on her walks! I trust her with my pup and she is very kind and respectful!”

“Craig by far exceeded my expectations. I was worreid sick about leaving my pup. This is my first time using Rover, and I literally had only two days notice to find someone. Craig accomodated my last minute request to meet, and instantly I felt at ease with him. I travel once a month for work, and this latest trip is the first time I felt at peace and was not stressed out the entire trip with worry and regret. My pup adores him. He sent FANTASTIC pictures oftern, showed up as scheduled and communicated often with me. I can't say enough great things about him. Its so comforting to know we found such a caring and great human to help out with our fur baby. We are absolutely going to be repeat customers from this point on. 10/10!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles for over 15 years. I am familiar with the needs of senior animals and special diet or medication requirements. I am excited to get to care for your pets! I work 2 part time/ PRN positions as a phlebotomist which lets me create my schedule ahead of time, so I will have plenty of availability during the week or weekend to stop in or stay overnight. Pets cared for at your home will feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I will be able to play or take your pet for a walk around your own neighborhood.

“Drew was great. When my scheduled changed for dog walks he adjusted. He fed, watered and walked my dog for ten days and sent photos each day. He was dependable and on time. I'd hire him again in a heart beat!”

“I booked Emily to walk my 18 month old Golden Retriever the day of my child's 4th birthday. I was hoping he would come home nice and tired! When I met Emily she was very friendly and my pup took to her right away. She took him for a nice long walk and when he came home he was happy and soooooooo pleasant to be around! The next day I took him for a walk and he did not pull on the leash or bite it, as is his usual custom! I can attribute that to Emily because I know she worked with him! I will use her again for sure! Happy Puppy means Happy Mom!!!”

“Katherine is great my dog loves seeing her and going on walks with her daily.”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was a young kid! Tons of friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me when it comes to pet sitting their furry loved ones. Pets will forever have a special place in my heart, whether it’s my own or yours! I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to spoil your dogs! The days I work will sometimes shift around, but never long shifts. I will be open and communicate with you about my schedule beforehand! Safety and trustful environment is important for everyone, your pet especially! I’m here to follow any care instructions you have and ensure that you’re constantly reassured that your pup is in good hands. And who doesn’t love super cute puppy picture updates?!

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, 7, 5 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. I love to go on long walks in the neighborhood or on a nearby trail. 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: Hello, my name is Atticus! I worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, have been pet and house sitting for neighbors and friends for over 3 years, actively volunteer at a cat shelter since 2017, and have been walking dogs since I was a kid. I have 5 pets (one dog, three cats, and one snake) of my own, making me well versed in caring for a variety of animals. I work a sporadically scheduled contracted job 1 to 3 Saturdays a month that I'm very committed to. However, these jobs have never gotten in the way of my care towards my own animals and the animals I have pet sat for. I don't pet sit in my own home, as I can't be sure that my animals will 100% get along with a client's animal. I have slept over in guest rooms of the houses I have spent over night in, as well as having only been in the house with the pets during the day, all per the client's request. Whatever one's house looks like or whatever features one's house may have, I am always sure to respect boundaries, clean up after myself, and make sure the house is left looking better than when I arrived.

“Meredith was awesome and took great care of my pup! Can't wait to use her again, highly recommend her services!!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life, of many different breeds ranging from chihuahua to Great Danes. I love taking my own dog, that I've had since March 2021, to the dog park everyday. I love dogs, they bring me so much joy. I want to give them as much joy as they give to me. I currently work Tues-Thursday 7-3 and Fridays 8-3 and sometimes Mondays 8-3, I live 5 minutes from my job. Getting off at 3 gives me more time to play with dogs and give them all the attention!! I have a balacony on the 2nd floor. I have a fur baby of my own that would gladly play with your fur baby. I have a large dog cage that I could use for your fur baby if need be. Plenty of toys and treats. Only a short drive to the dog park. If in need of separation of my dog and your dog, that is completely doable. I would, of course, like to do a behavior test between the two dogs to make sure they would get along. Your pet might often meet my boyfriend’s dog who is also a huskey!

About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. When I was a kid I used to be told not to pet certain animals because they were deemed “unfriendly”, most of them time people were shocked when their animal would warm up to me after making such a statement. Animals are much more intelligent and empathetic than some people give them credit for. Give me a choice between a room full of humans or a room full of animals, and I’ll take the room full of animals every time. I started pet setting when I was 12 and I’ve been doing it on and off ever since. I used to have a dog, sadly he passed from heart failure and I’ve just barely gotten to the point where I’m thinking about getting another. I miss his energy and miss taking him on hikes and long walks. Getting up early is not a problem for me. I live right by the greenbelt so we will be going on lots of walks! At the moment my schedule is very open. I have 2 cats who love dogs, but I know not all dogs love cats. I am more than willing to come over and dog sit and even bring you pup In during the times I’m there as long as your pup likes cats, otherwise me walking your pup and boarding at your house would be better suited for all parties involved.

“Wendy takes such great care of Rosie - she gave me some info about Rosie from this last walk Wendy knew was important to me. I'm thrilled to have someone who cares about my pupper walking her!”

“It was very easy to communicate with Freedom, and she took great care of my dog. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Kalli is wonderful. She has been great with my mini Aussie Border Collie mix. She communicates well, bonds quickly with the animals, and is very knowledgeable. 🐶🐱🚶🏻‍♂️”
