Dog Walkers in Horseshoe Bend, ID

About: Growing up I've been surrounded by all sorts of pets. By 10 I was volunteering at local animal shelters. No pet is to challenging for me! I'm currently a Boise State Student that is missing the chaos animals bring. So my schedule is worked around my classes, though majority of my week is open. I also have experience with long term pet watching. I have experiences with all sizes and breeds of animal. I have no issues with nervous or more challenging pets. I also have lots of experience with pets that require medication or specific routines.

About: I am Laressa I am a mom to 4 kids and fur mom to 2 dog and 3 cats.I love being around animals! If you want your dog to be played with, loved, and treated as if it were part of the family, then look no further. We have so many people and animals around you dog can’t get bored and will get round the clock attention. I stay at home and have a fenced yard, I take my dog out every 2-4 hours. I grew up around dog and cats, horses, sheep, cows, chickens. But my mom had a serious love for dogs and that love for them has been passed down to me and my children. Animals bring so much joy to a home. I enjoy going for walks. If I have errands to run I am never gone more than a few hours. We can not wait to love on your fur baby. Your dog will be treated like they are one of ours. We take our animals out as needed usually between every 2-4 hrs. I can administer medications if needed. I feed 2x a day and I will give recommended amounts that you give to your pet. I treat your pets with love and kindness. I have a love for all animals and affection is my top priority. I want them to enjoy being with our family.

About: Hello! I’m Erick, and I believe that every dog deserves love, attention, and understanding. With a lifelong passion for animals, I connect with dogs on a deep level, respecting them just as I do people. My intuitive nature allows me to read their body language effortlessly, ensuring they feel safe and understood. Whether it’s a stroll in the park, playtime in your backyard, or just scratching their back, I’m here to provide a caring and enriching experience for your furry friend. I’m dedicated to ensuring your dog’s happiness and well-being, making every moment spent together enjoyable. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy! 🐶 I’m a professional basketball trainer by trade, but I absolutely love dogs and am looking to make some extra cash on the side to enable me to pursue some goals of mine. My schedule as I’m writing this is very flexible, and I’m willing to take on as many pup relationships as possible. 🙏🏾 The fact that dogs can’t talk, or at least I can’t understand what they are saying to me makes them a much better fit for me that a dating relationship. 😁 I make sure dogs get the attention they want when I’m around. I’m in pretty good shape so a walk is no problem, a jog is no problem if needed. I’m patient enough to let the dogs do their business, but also enjoy the environment during the walk, and will make sure they have water/food if needed. I see myself as man’s best friend’s best friend. 😁

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs my entire life, and love spending time with dogs as often as I’m able! I’ve lived at a small dog shelter for a short time taking care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m happy to provide the correct care for each dog. I work full time, usually 8am-5:30pm near downtown Boise. I understand this is tough for many pets’ schedules, and, when possible, I am happy to check in on pets during my lunch. I am available any hours that I am not at work and I’m happy to do overnight stays any day of the week! I love to spend time with dogs in whatever way they may need, whether it's playing and stimulating their mind, feeding them whatever diet is best for them, taking them on walks, or just providing them with some company!

About: I grew up on a ranch so I have a wide variety of experiences with all animals from dogs and cats to cattle and sheep. I have been caring for animals ever since I could walk and have always loved walking dogs for neighbors and friends. I am currently a third grade teacher on summer break so I will be available to walk in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings! I am available on the weekdays and certain weekends. I would love to come help by letting your pet out in the yard or taking them for a walk. I will keep them safe by keeping them on a leash and not letting them out of sight.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life—I’ve cared for everything from cats to Great Dane mixes! I currently have two cats (one named Bug, the other Bear, who thinks she’s a hunter), and I grew up with a sweet but giant dog named Hammer who was scared of everything but loved me fiercely. I’ve been pet-sitting for families, friends, and church members for years. I’m great with pets of all ages, quick to learn their needs, and love helping nervous or special-needs animals feel safe. Since losing my dog, I’ve been missing puppy love—and I’d be thrilled to care for yours like my own! I work a full time job from 5am to 4pm Monday thru Thursday. I am free to walk and house sit in the afternoons after work and on the weekends. I’m open to house sitting during the weekdays as long as the animal is okay without me for those work hours. When your pets are with me, they’re treated like family. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry friend is safe, loved, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I take the time to learn each animal’s personality, needs, and routines—whether that’s belly rubs, playtime, quiet snuggles, or medication schedules. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. You can relax knowing they’re in gentle, loving hands.

About: I am very active. I like to play and move. If your pet needs energy used I would love to find out how long they go. Outside of this play style my family and I have an elderly cat that we do special care for. For example, special treats, water treatment, food, and toys. The cat we have is given special treats that help joints and hips. We use special food to help digestion. We give massages to her variously throughout the day/week more so when needed. I am the go to pet sitter for many of our family friends. I frequently play and visit with their pets. I am cautious on opening the door being aware of what may be near the other side to get out. Moving my way in to the house I will call the pet by name if they’re not by the door to give them affection. If they don’t come by the door I will go search for them to make sure they are okay and greet them in their area if they seem to be comfortable for a greeting.

“Valerie was able to walk my dog last minute and work with my schedule which was so helpful!! My dog has anxiety and gets scared sometimes with new people but he loved walking with Valerie! She sent lots of pictures and updates!!”
