“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.”


“Stephani did a great job communicating when she would pick Lily up and sending photos of her walk. We plan to use her again next time we are out of town!”
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: I’ve owned cats or dogs pretty much my entire life. Currently, I own a border collie mix and love spending time with her. I love getting to know other animals and have dog/cat sitting experience with neighbor's pets also. Currently, I’m working as an on call wildland firefighter that should get going here in about the next few months or so. I’m pretty much always available, unless I will be on a fire. I love interacting and getting to know pets in general. I also prioritize communication with the owners to keep them informed of what is going on.
About: - Experience caring for many different animals (dogs, cats, farm animals, etc) - Knowledge in senior and disabled animal care - Experience handling/giving needed supplements and medications I am currently a full time student at OSU but I do have a pretty flexible schedule and would love to provide any pet care needed (if available)! Throughout the week the only days I’m usually fully unavailable are Mon & Tue but feel free to message me either way, if needed! I’d love to discuss and/or meet to see how I can offer you the best pet care possible! I offer pet care both within my own home and at your own. I typically prefer pet sitting for longer periods of time to be done in the employer’s home as it ensures more comfort and safety for your pet. But feel free to message me to discuss any care details/needs! Additionally, I do also offer the service of walking you pet and drop in visits (more availability in these)!!
“Anastasia walked Miso for a month and it was a big help. She is sweet and gentle, and my dog Miso enjoyed the fun walks with her. He would ran to greet her every morning! Thanks Anastasia!”

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.
About: For over 20 years I’ve trained and cared for my own dogs while also walking, sitting, and loving on countless others. I’ve cared for many cats over the years too. Animals are truly my happy place, and I’d love to give yours the same comfort and attention. My availability is pretty open for the summer months. Although I am not available for overnights, I can assist in the mornings, afternoons or evenings just about every day. I understand that each animal has different needs and am able to adapt to their routine. I treat every animal like my own and aim to ensure they are comfortable and happy at all times. Their space will be well respected and remain their safe space while in my care.
“Bailey did a great job walking Jasper! She was very attentive to his needs (he’s a senior dog) and was excellent at following instructions for treat puzzles etc. Thank you so much, Bailey!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for 9 years. I have also pet sat for friends and family for about 8 years which has included walking, bathing, house sitting, and general care. Typically I am free whenever you need me! I usually do 1-2 drop in’s per day if my clients are out of town, but I can always do more if requested! I do not have my own place at the moment so I am not able to board pets but I will be respectful of clients homes and am willing to do whatever it is that you need!

“Elise is a wonderful person. She did a great job with Rocky. She is very punctual and responsible. I love that she kept me up-to-date and sent pictures throughout! Would definitely recommend her! Thank you Elise!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old, when I bought my own puppy with the money I had saved up. I love dogs with all my heart, currently I do not have a pooch of my own, so I would love to meet yours and help you care for them! I am currently a stay-at-home parent to my 3 children(12, 10, and 7). I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and am wanting to start creating bonds with your pet! I have a somewhat large fully fenced yard, so I am willing to take dogs to my home for a few hours! Currently my cats rule the roost, so I will not let any other animals in my home, but they are welcome in my back yard and I will spend time with them there!
“Emily is fantastic! I am jealous of my dog’s adventures with her while I am working- from long hikes to dog parks! My dog has a great time socializing with other dogs under her watch as well. Thank you Emily!”

About: I’ve always been the go-to for my neighbors when it came to dog sitting or watching them when they were out running errands! I’ve also grown up with dogs and I’m great at working with all types of behaviors and different personalities so if you have an anxious pup I have no problem working with them:) I work from 8-5 on weekdays so I would use my hour long lunch to come and hangout with your pup or I could also come after work. I always make sure to choose friendly paths for dogs to walk on and do my research to ensure they will have plenty of time to walk around and sniff on their walks.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for around 8 years now, family friends and neighbors often rely on me to check in and feed their pets. I’ve also been a vet tech for 2 years so I have plenty of experience with medications and any medical needs. I have a flexible job and only work about 27 hours a week, so pet care is a natural part of my days. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick visit or spending extra cuddle time, I’m able to fit my schedule around each pet’s needs. I believe every pet feels happiest when their routine stays familiar, so I always follow your pet’s normal schedule and comfort level. Whether that means dropping in for regular check-ins, going on walks or runs that match their usual pace, or keeping their space calm and tidy, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for just like they do when you’re home. My goal is to make their time with me as stress-free and comfortable as possible.
About: I am semi-retired and a pet lover with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your cats or dogs the care and attention they deserve. As someone who has owned both dogs and cats, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, companionship, or quiet company, I’m glad to hang out and keep them entertained. For dogs who love getting out and exploring, I’m also happy to take them on walks. I can visit more than once a day if needed, and I always aim to make each visit a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I have a very flexible schedule as I am semi-retired. I can work around your scheduling needs. We can discuss your needs and create a schedule that works for you and your pet. I currently only care for pets on their own home. Before caring for your pet, I will come and visit you and your pet(s). I like to keep a pet's daily routine consistent. It is important to me that you do not worry about your pet while you are away so I will follow any directions you have for while you are away.
Highlands dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
