Dog Sitting in Iona

“Tori is so sweet and took great care of our dogs! The photos and updates put us at such ease. Our littlest one is shy and Tori helped her feel more confident to come around and engage. Our bigger dog loves Tori and took to her right away! Thank you, Tori, for excellent care and I’d recommend you to anyone!”

“Anna is always so wonderful to us and our babies! She is always available to work with us and our schedule, and is so kind and patient with our elderly dog who can be a very ornery girl. I cannot express how much I appreciate her caring for our babies when we have to leave town. Leaving my dogs and cats is always stressful, but I have much more peace of mind knowing that someone who genuinely cares for my babies is checking on them for me 💕”

“My dogs got sick right before my trip and Hannah stepped in to take care of them. My instructions were super long with medications and other specifics. I came home to two happy senior dogs, no mess anywhere! Thank you Hannah!”

About: Pet Care Experience: More Than Just a Sitter I've been a passionate dog enthusiast and reliable caregiver for over 15 years, I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My experience isn't just about feeding and walking; it's about providing genuine companionship and a fun, safe environment. I regularly handle all aspects of routine care, including medication administration, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and enforcing positive reinforcement training that owners already have in place. Whether it's a calm cuddle session or a high-energy adventure, I tailor my approach to meet your dog's unique needs and personality. What Sets Me Apart: A Focus on Connection and Safety While many sitters offer basic care, I believe your pet deserves a partner who is attentive, active, and highly informed. What makes me different is my combination of energetic engagement and deep understanding of canine behavior: My patience and understanding of dog body language mean I can spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or over-excitement before they become an issue. This ensures a low-stress, enjoyable experience for your pet and allows me to introduce toys and activities that they genuinely love. Safety is My #1 Priority: Beyond basic supervision, I focus on proactive safety. This includes double-checking gates, being aware of environmental hazards, and using proper leash handling techniques, especially around traffic or unfamiliar dogs. I am constantly vigilant so you never have to worry. The Ultimate Playmate: I bring genuine, playful energy to every session. I'm not afraid to get on the floor for a game of tug-of-war or dedicate time to an extensive walk and play session to ensure your dog is physically and mentally satisfied by the end of the day. A tired dog is a happy and well-behaved dog! Pet care isn't just a side job; it's a valued part of my established routine, which means consistent and dedicated care for your dog. Because I work part-time during the school year, my schedule allows me to offer highly reliable availability when most owners need it: Weekly Availability I am generally available for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting during the following times: Monday through Thursday: Available starting at 2:00 PM daily. This is a perfect window for late afternoon potty breaks, substantial long walks, and dinner routines. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: I offer flexible, full-day availability for house-sitting and extended services. How This Fits In The fact that I work just 2 miles from my school is a huge advantage for my clients. My commute home is minimal, ensuring I am immediately available right at 2:00 PM to begin services. This efficient schedule means I can provide: The crucial late-day walk and playtime that breaks up your dog's afternoon after you've left for work. Dedicated, unhurried attention. Since I'm not rushing to squeeze in appointments between a full-time job, your dog gets my full focus and energy. Please reach out with your specific needs! I'm happy to discuss how my flexible schedule and reliable availability can best support your pet's routine. When your dog stays with me, they become a member of the family. My home is set up to be a safe, clean, and low-stress environment where your pet can relax and thrive. Security and Supervision During the Day I want to be upfront about my schedule so you can be confident in the care I provide: Supervision: Guests are not 100% supervised throughout the day. When I am working part-time during the week (Monday through Thursday), I am away for a few hours at a time during the school day. Security During Alone Time: Before I leave, all dogs are securely placed in a safe, dog-proofed area or kennel (based on your dog's preference) with fresh water and comfortable bedding. Doggie Door Access: For reliable house-trained dogs, we have a doggie door available that provides continuous, secure access to our fenced yard for potty breaks while I am away. This is a great feature for independent dogs who enjoy frequent outdoor access. My Resident Dog: A Friendly Host I share my home with Kilo, a friendly Irish Wolfhound Poodle Mix (a Wolfadoodle!) who genuinely loves having canine company! We actively encourage supervised, positive play sessions in our secure yard. However, your dog's comfort is my priority: Managed Socialization: Introductions are slow and monitored. If needed, I have the ability to easily separate my dog from guests using designated gates and areas, ensuring both dogs have their own peaceful space for meals, rest, or if a break is needed. The Home Environment Secure Fenced Yard: I have a wooden and welded wire fenced yard for safe, contained playtime and bathroom breaks. All gates are double-checked before outdoor sessions. Structure and Comfort: I maintain a consistent daily schedule (feeding times, walk schedules, and potty breaks) closely aligned with your dog's routine to minimize anxiety. I provide comfortable, dedicated sleeping areas for rest. Daily Updates: Trust is built on communication. You will receive regular photo or video updates daily so you can see your happy dog enjoying their stay, if desired. My goal is to make your dog feel safe and loved, ensuring you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

About: I have a wealth of experience caring for a variety of pets and offer exceptional services such as pet boarding, feeding, grooming, and walking—all at unbeatable rates. My commitment to providing outstanding care and attention for your pets is my top priority. I actively volunteer at the Idaho Falls Zoo and local animal shelters, gaining invaluable experience in animal care. I am well-versed in administering medications to both dogs and cats, ensuring your pet's health and well-being. While I work a full-time job from eight to five and pursue my college studies, my passion for pets remains strong. I can’t wait to give your furry family members the love and care they deserve! I work a full-time job from eight to five, Monday through Friday, while pursuing my college studies, and my passion for animals is my drive to continue. I am always attentive to the animals around me and take full responsibility for their well-being. I prioritize cleaning up after them and capturing their beautiful moments through photographs so that everyone can cherish those memories for a lifetime. Additionally, I ensure safety at all times by keeping collars no less than two fingers loose and not allowing dogs outside without my presence.

“Kim has been amazing with Hank. She is extremely reliable and is great at communicating. We feel at ease knowing that Kim is taking care of Hank”

I work a job at a day care center Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am able to let dogs out for a quick potty break around 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. I may leave for an hour or two during the weekend to meet up with my family, but never more than that if I am house sitting. I do my best to not only respect and love the animals of the home, but also your home itself. I will do my best to keep everything clean and leave it the way I found it. I am more than happy to meet an odd or long requests and instructions if they are written down for me!

About: As a pet owner and a huge pet lover, I have learned firsthand how important it is to have someone that you can trust with your furry family members while you are away. If you need someone to check on your pets on short notice, take care of them and give them companionship while you are away, or just exercise them during your long days at the office, I would love to help. I work from home so I have a very open and flexible shedule, this allows me to adapt my schedule to accomodate whatever you pet care needs may be. Attention to your pets safety is of utmost importance to me. I would love to meet with you and go over any special needs that your pet may require.

About: I’ve lived with dogs since I was born- and whenever family needed a pet sitter I was the top choice! I love pets of every kind, from puppies to seniors. I’m currently home from college and will be able to spend time with your pet whenever is needed! Sometimes I leave for the weekends to visit family- but for the most part I will be available! Depending on the pet, I can make the environment suit their needs. If they are a bit more laid back, I can be laid back too. But if they need some extra playtime, I can accommodate that too! I am very flexible when it comes to a pets happiness.

About: Equally a cat and dog person. I love connecting with animals and giving them care. Always up for dog walks or a trip to the park. I currently work part time as a contractor doing website work, so i have plenty of flexibility and time for pet care and dog walks I show pets plenty of attention and pay close attention to safety concerns. They don't leave my site (or leash) if we're outside.

About: I’ve had cats and kittens since I was little, I’ve bottle fed kittens and I’ve had dogs and puppies, I’ve helped care for dogs with diseases such as parvo, I’m currently in animal behavioral college doing a dog training program and hopefully moving on to a vet tech program, I absolutely love animals, caring for them and getting them the physical and mental enrichment they need! I currently have a two month old baby girl and I’m trying to find a new job before I quit my old one. I am typically available all day and most nights, I haven’t gotten off maternity leave yet but when I go back to my current job my schedule will update If sitting at your home, depending on what services you’d like I can provide play time and even some training (physical and mental) activities for your pup I can crate or crate train, work on manners, take on walks, and give your pup all the care he may need no matter what size or breed At my apartment I’m limiting it to only small dogs and cats because although I do have a grassy area for potty breaks I don’t have a fence and I want to prevent any accidents! If I am pet sitting at my apartment I would prefer you to bring a leash but I do have an extra! As for cats, I’m not as experienced in training them but I love playing with them and I’m more than happy to sit and play with them while you’re away!

About: Hello! I have been a dog person my whole life and have been caring for them ever since I was old enough to. I’ve always had dogs growing up and have cared for my own, Rover clients, neighbors, friends, and other family members. I have experience with all ages of dogs and love all breeds! I have experience with walks, playtime, feeding, bathing, and overnight care as well. I work from home, so I would be available any weekday for my services. Weekends are on an availability basis, as I am often out of town. I have a fenced yard at my house that is perfect for dogs to run around in. At a clients home I will respect any and all house rules, and make sure the pup has its needs met at all times and before I leave. No matter where I am with a clients animal, I will always respect and uphold any rules and preferences associated with their pets to ensure their mind is at ease when the pet is in my care.

“Alexys was wonderful with my cat, Ginger. Her drop in visits were right on time and she did everything I asked of her perfectly. Ginger is a very independent cat and can be a bit standoffish but she warmed up a bit during the first visits with Alexys, and I believe they will become good friends over time. I definitely hope to book her again soon!”
