Dog Walking Hillcrest

“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!”

About: We go by Gin (Virginia) and Jack (Kandiack), and we’re a husband-and-wife team who share a deep love for animals. We understand that every pet has a unique personality—from confident, social dogs and cats to shy or anxious pets who need extra patience and reassurance. A few years ago, we bought our home and discovered a large population of unaltered feral cats in the neighborhood. We stepped in to have them spayed and neutered, provided food and shelter, and slowly earned their trust. Over time, they became part of our family. That experience deepened our understanding of patience, routine, and the difference consistent, gentle care can make. Our hands-on experience includes: * Caring for shy, anxious, and semi-feral cats. * Building trust at each pet’s pace without forcing interaction. * Maintaining familiar feeding, walking, playtime, and litter box routines. * Offering companionship to pets who feel lonely or stressed. * Administering medications and following special diets and individualized care instructions. Gin is certified in pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. We carry our own insurance and are bonded, and we’re happy to provide additional details upon request. We know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. We take time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks so we can help them feel comfortable and secure. Our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are receiving the same patience, attention, and love we give our own. Pet care is a regular part of our daily routine. I work from home and set my own schedule, giving us flexibility to coordinate visits and stays around your cats’ needs. Together, we plan our availability to provide dependable feeding, medication, playtime, and companionship while keeping your cats’ familiar routines consistent. We’re available for weekday, weekend, and overnight care, with last-minute requests welcome when our schedule allows. We provide attentive care in your home, where your pets can enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. We follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, and each pet’s individual needs. For households with multiple pets, we take time to understand their relationships, separate feeding arrangements, and how each one prefers to receive attention. We build trust patiently, using approved treats or favorite toys without forcing interaction. Our experience with rescue and shy cats has taught us the importance of consistency, gentle care, and respecting each animal’s space. We watch for changes in appetite, behavior, and litter box use, communicate concerns promptly, and share updates and photos. We also take care to prevent escapes, secure doors, and follow your home access instructions. Gin is certified in pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross, and we carry our own insurance and are bonded. Your pets’ safety and comfort—and your peace of mind—guide our care.

I pride myself on being responsible with your animal's safety and will make sure they're happy and loved while you're away!

I provide pet care services in clients' homes, keeping pets company and making sure they're comfortable while owners are away. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, and playtime according to each owner's instructions. I secure the home after visits and send updates so owners have peace of mind while away.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I grew u on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals, so caring for furry friends has always felt like second nature to me.

I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own—with lots of patience, attention, cuddles, and love. ❤️ 🐶 Dog lover 🐱 Cat lover 🌾 Farm-raised & animal obsessed 💗 Experienced pet sitter 🏡 Your pet’s home away from home I work part-time, so my schedule is very flexible!

I’ll make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean environment, plenty of attention and playtime, and lots of love. ❤️ I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your fur babies are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱

About: Hello all pet lovers and owners. I have a life time's experience with animals as I grew up in a family with cats and dogs from the time I was born so I am familiar with the kitten and puppy stages as well as the elderly/disabled cats and dogs. I have dogsat and catsat for about 15+ families in the past where I grew up. I dogsat the same pets over Christmas break and over spring break so I'm hoping to make these next holiday breaks not as lonely. I moved to Boise for college. I am an alumni at BSU. I really do miss my family dog so pet sitting would really help me and help you. Animals are what make me most happy so having a job that envolves hanging out with them and caring for them is ideal to me. I do have experience with giving medications, changing doggie diapers/pads, and dealing with many different types of personalities, ages, or disabilities. I love to walk dogs to give myself exercise and to help them stay healthy. I am willing to do any odd job that involves animals. I especially love kittens and cats because I don't often get to catsit. Fun fact: I have catsat for a savannah cat named Kiwi. Also, I have AED/CPR/First Aid training for humans but I do have knowledge on how to save an animal who may have a heart attack or choke on their food. I find this important for me because I would always want to be prepared if I needed to save someone's animal. As you can see, I need pet sitting jobs as much as you need me so feel free to message me. Thanks! I do work from home but am looking for a way to break up my day through breaks. I have a flexible schedule so my ability to check on your pets is not impacting my professional life. I make sure to respect your home and treat it how you instruct me to do so. I don’t mind cleaning or doing the litter/dog poop if you ask me to do so. I offer any service related to pets so ask and you shall receive!

About: I’ve been house sitting and watching dogs for the last 3 years, and absolutely love it! I have gotten the opportunity to care for many different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I currently have two dogs, and always have had dogs growing up, so I have a lot of experience! I’m currently working part time with my schedule varying, but have free time throughout the week, and can usually work house sitting into my work schedule when needed:) I typically care for dogs in the clients home when house sitting, and am able to pick them up for walks figure out alternatives when needed.

About: Would love nothing more then to meet your pup and help put them at ease when they are in my care. Your dogs safety and comfort will be my number one concern at all times! I will treat your pup like they were my own and make sure they are happy and healthy and entertained untill you come home to them! I will take them on walks and enjoy puppy related movies on netflix with them! I will give them as many pets as they like! I really love being around dogs and so this job is a way for me to do What I Love!! I work from home currently. I have a lot of down time and availability and will be able to give your pup lots of attention and love. I can do over night boarding at my house any days of the week typically. For drop ins or walks. I can come before work, on my lunch break, and after work. My schedules very flexible we can work something out! I am able to maintain a consistent schedule of eating and playing and exercise and medicine administration. I will make sure to meet the needs and wants of you and your pups to ensure they are happy and healthy and safe :)

About: I have experience house-sitting for dogs and cats, where I helped provide care and attention while their owners were away. I’m responsible, patient, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I am currently working part time and also in school but am extremely flexible with my hours and would love to work with you to figure out the best schedule! I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe environment.

About: I am an energetic female who loves all types of animals. I’ve had experience with a fair variety over the course of my life— fish, cats, dogs, turtles, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, bunnies, a wolf spider once... I am a very responsible and trustworthy person, and the best interest of the animal and owner’s personal wishes are always my priority, especially because I understand how important it is to be consistent when a pet-owner’s time and money are put into tasks like training and scheduling. I feel that animals are like family. Personally, my pets are my babies, and I would do anything to make sure they are well taken care of, and most importantly, happy and enjoying this short life. It would be a lovely experience to meet your companion(s), create exciting and loving memories, and help tend to their needs while you are away, unavailable, or just needing an extra hand. I look forward to meeting you, and your companion(s)! FUN FACT: I trained my oldest cat to walk on a leash and harness, and trained both of them to sit, lay down, stay, and come! I work a full-time job, from Wednesday through Saturday. I am available Sunday through Tuesday at any time to help support you with your companion(s). I have two cats at my home who are fed twice a day with free access throughout the apartment unless I know I will be out and about for a long period. I separate my cats to ensure safety from any bullying stemming from redirected or play aggression, and to still allow feeding as they both have different diets. Because they are cats, we have play time when they show signs of being open to it, and we enjoy lots of cuddles and petting—when they are open to it lol! My cats enjoy hanging out on the balcony or by an open window and I check up on them frequently when the screen door is shut to make sure they are comfortable. I interact with them like family, talking to them and watching movies with them!

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.

About: I have had three medium breeds and one small breed throughout my life. I have helped feed, walk, and play with all of them often. I am currently a college student with weekends, and a good amount of time during the week open. Saturday-Tuesday is preferable, other days are negotiable. I care for pets with compassion and patience. I give them as much love and attention as they ask for and respect their needs and space.

“Ashlin was really sweet. It’s not easy walking a puppy who’s not used to being walked with a harness, but she did a great job. I would definitely recommend her services!”
