House Sitting Horseshoe Bend

“I was extremely impressed with Alex! She took such amazing care of our fur babies and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She was super communicative and sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. When I got home, both dogs were happy, content, and clearly very well cared for. Thank you so much, Alex! We truly appreciate you loving on our babies like they were your own. ❤️🐾”

About: I've become the go to friend for helping out watching all my friends pets when they go out of town! Haha it's been awesome, so I figured why not make some extra money doing it for others so here I am :D I love all pets and am grateful there's a platform that let's me do this! I know what it's like to not have a dog sitter when you need to go out of town and you don't want to board your pet, so I'd love to help out where I can. I have experience dog and house sitting and integrity is most important to me, so I will treat your pet and home like it's my own. I have a totally flexible schedule. I live in Boise and have a car, and can travel up to 30 miles. Maybe farther upon request. I can't have pets at my home, so if you're interested in having me help out it would have to be at your house. I have a lot of experience pet sitting and house sitting. I can water your plants too :) I will treat your home with love and respect.

“Kayla is amazingly caring and attentive not only to our precious pup, she took great care of our home while we were gone! Would highly recommend !! So grateful For her kindness and care!”

“Gunner was wonderful with our Newfoundland- Abby, and our cat-Wendy. He stayed in our home for 9 days, it was neat and tidy when we got back. He walked Abby daily and he kept us up to date with daily messages and pictures. Would highly recommend.”

“Candy was wonderful with my very energetic dog and two cats! She sent me pictures everyday and even made chicken soup for me! Highly recommend!”

Karyn K.

“Wendy did a wonderful job and we were able to take a 3 day vacation knowing that our little "older" dog was in good hands. She does an awesome job of sending you photos and letting you know your pet is following their normal routine and enjoying the time they spend with her. We would recommend her to anyone who has a pet that normally takes a while to warm up to new people. The first time Wendy met Chip, it was "love at first sight". Thank you Wendy!”

Connie C.

“Carrie did a fantastic job watching our two dogs and I would highly recommend her! She went above and beyond to take care of our boys and make us feel at ease while we were gone. She sent multiple pictures, provided us with consistent updates, and even left the house cleaner than it was before! We also had forgotten to update our address on the app, and upon her arrival at our old address, she drove to our new house willingly without a problem. I can’t say enough good things about Carrie-if you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further-she is #1!”

“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”

Gaylynn T.

“Ellie took good care of my pets. She was easy to get ahold of while we were away. Will definitely like to schedule her for further visits.”

About: I have always had dogs and puppies throughout my life, and took an interest in animal care around 10 years old. I have experience with training and health-care for all ages. I have had jobs as a kennel attendant, and have volunteered with shelters for play/enrichment, and transportation to special vet trips requiring road trips to Emmett. Studied animal care during college, and have worked in healthcare for over 10 years. I am currently working a full time day job, but open to evenings and weekends. Looking forward to adding some fur baby visits to my routine. In your home, I'm more than happy to follow the rules and expectations. I am happy to play, walk, and make sure your baby feels happy, safe, and comfortable with me.

“Susie watched my dog while I was out of town for Christmas and she did such a great job!! It was such a relief to be able to enjoy my time away and know that my dog was in good hands.”

Carly D.

“Michael and Zoe are knowledgable dog caretakers who treated our kookie Dalmatian like a member of the family. She had fun with their dogs. I would highly recommend them to dog parents who need to leave their fur babies in good hands.”

Kimi Y.

“Monique was absolutely wonderful! She was quick to respond, went above and beyond taking care of our dogs and cat. She sent wonderful updates with photos each day. On top of all that she even watered my daughters little plants growing and left the house clean and welcoming for our return home. We feel more than comfortable using her again in the future.”

About: It’s my goal to give you peace of mind while you are away. I provide frequent updates with photos, I give your pet(s) lots of love & attention, and strive to make you feel delighted by returning to a sparkling clean home. I am currently taking time off of work while studying online. This makes me available for frequent walks, potty breaks, and any other needs. I love going on long walks and being outside which makes pet sitting the perfect match for me at this time. I typically care for pets in my clients homes while they are away on vacations or weekend trips. I am flexible and due to my open schedule I am able to take care of pets with a wide range of needs.

“Jules did such a great job with our dog. She communicated often and sent many photos. It was great to know he was so well taken care of while we were away!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm so I have always been surrounded by them. I currently have a spoiled pup named Whisper at home. I work nights regularly so I am available all day to care for your pets during their waking hours. My schedule makes it easy to accommodate drop-ins and potty breaks. Every pet and pet parent is different and I pride myself in accommodating any request you or your pet may need. I have taken care of elderly dogs that needed to be carried outside to potty and large dogs that needed to be snuggled during thunder storms. Every pet and family is unique. 😊

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I've always owned dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Border Collies, and other high energy working breeds. I also grew up caring for horses, goats, dogs, cats, and just about every other animal you can think of. Along the way, I attended basic obedience classes with my own dogs where we learned clicker training and positive reinforcement techniques. Today, I have a German Shepherd and a cat of my own, and I know just how much our pets mean to us. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and it has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I'm on Rover because spending time with animals simply makes me happy. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and I don't take that trust lightly. When your pet is with me, I'll care for them the same way I care for my own, with patience, lots of love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I own my own business, which gives me the flexibility to create my own schedule. Because of that, I'm rarely away for more than a few hours at a time, allowing me to provide attentive care and plenty of companionship for your pet. I'll always do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am always the person worrying about my own pets and their unique needs when I'm away from the house. This means I will always follow your instructions and care for your pet in extreme detail. Making sure they're secured, have eaten, have plenty of water, ample exercise, any medications needed, and plenty of love and affection. I pay attention to the little things, and will always do everything in my power to ensure their comfortability.

I have experience working with nervous, fearful, and reactive dogs/cats, and I always prioritize building trust at their pace. I use low-stress, force-free handling techniques to create positive experiences and help pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide personalized care that matches their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, scaled, etc!) family members and providing them with the same love and attention they receive from you. I am currently looking for full-time work, but when I do overnights, I stay there every night after work, and in the past, I have been able to come during my work shift to do potty breaks, etc. I will update this as soon as I hear about employment. I come to the clients' home, and I come over beforehand to see everything. I prefer written instructions whenever it is possible for the owner to leave them.

About: Hi, My name is Meah! I’ve spent my entire life around animals as big as horses and as small as crickets. Currently I own and did most of the training for my 2 dogs named Luna (a white husky), and Gus (a chocolate lab/blood hound). I also have Heffley (a leopard gecko). In the past I’ve owned 2 basset hounds and 3 cats. My blood hound has medical needs due to having severe allergies and stomach issues, resulting in me now having experience in medicine administration, medicine injection, and dog first aid. I also spent a long time caring for my senior basset hound (princess) who had severe bone deformities and mobility issues. I’m currently working part time on a schedule that I can move around very easily to be available for your pets needs. Times after 4 pm can be challenging currently but can be worked around with proper notice and communication. :) I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to providing a safe, stress free experience for both pets and their owners while they are away. I also provide regular photo updates and reports so you can stay informed and have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Hannah is heaven sent. Our dog got into a scape thru our fence with a neighbors dog and Hannah handled it all so well. She contacted us immediately and took great care of our dog until we got home. As upsetting as it was, she was calm and respectful. Thank you Hannah! As my husband as said more than once, “Hannah is our girl.””
