“Eliza was so great with Ollie! She even had something come up before our booking and she let us know in advance and we were able to work around it easily. She kept us updated throughout our trip and made sure Ollie was well taken care of! Very easy to work with and met our expectations!”


“Ann was great with Ozzie and Izzie for a week sitting at our home. We were able to have several pre-meetings at our house to go over details and get more familiar with each other and to gain confidence that she could handle both dogs. She kept us posted with pictures and communicated daily with us. Both dogs really enjoyed her while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will be looking to use her in the future.”


“Amanda was prompt, responsive, sweet and cute with my pets. She stayed at my house and left it perfectly the way it was when she left. She sent two pictures a day of my sweet puppy which I loved. This was my first experience with a dog sitter and I am happy to say it went very well. Thanks Amanda! I will definitely use her again.”


“John did a wonderful job watching Lily on incredibly short notice. We had one day to find and book a sitter and are so grateful John was available! Our dog is admittedly the dog version of a cat and incredibly suspicious of all strangers. He took that as a personal challenge and did his best to win her over! He kept a great eye on our house, even noticing the little notification our "smart" thermostat threw out. Lily was happy and healthy when we returned and our house was cleaner than how we left it! Highly recommend John, and would not hesitate to hire him again!”


“Excellent! Reliable, caring, extremely helpful when my flight was delayed to make sure Daisy was cared for properly, and even left a really adorable little gift for Daisy and me upon departure! ❤️”


About: Happy pets, happy life! I offer a loving home, fun playtime, and walks in Idaho Falls and the surrounding areas. I’ve taken care of many different pets of all shapes, sizes, ages and temperaments. As a pet mom myself I understand the importance and worry of leaving my fur baby behind while I’m away. I will always send extra pictures and take extra precautions and time to make sure your fur babies feel safe and loved while you’re away! I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment, ensuring they get plenty of attention and enrichment. With a few years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I'm dedicated to giving your pets the best possible care while you're away. Let's chat about how I can make your pet's stay a happy one! I work at the airport part time, but the hours differ. I am available most of the time, and if I’m at work I can still stop by after work or on my breaks or stay overnight to take care of the pet(s). Same goes if they’re boarding at my house, they will be well taken care of. I care for my own cat as if she is my child. All the pets I watch (including my own) get fed right on time on schedule, I give them extra attention and pets, if they like toys I make sure to spend a while playing with them to make sure they don’t get bored and they stay happy and entertained!

“Isabelle took excellent care of our two dogs, two cats, and plants while we were away. My husband’s flight home hit a major delay, and thank goodness, she was able to stay a bit longer with our babies. The pups enjoyed their daily walks, and plenty of playtime outside. She even helped get one of our dogs to his weekly daycare session! ❤️”

“Kris did an excellent job with my fur babies while we were out of town. I received daily updates, and my pets warmed up to her just fine. The house was left clean and my babies were happy.

About: With over 7 years of hands on experience caring for animals, I bring more than just love for pets I bring dependable, knowledgeable care. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pets who need a gentler touch and extra patience. I’m confident with crate training, leash training, administering medications, and adjusting routines for dogs with special needs or anxiety. I treat every pet like they’re my own making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. Whether it’s going the extra mile on a walk, sticking to your pet’s specific routine, or giving lots of one on one attention, I tailor my care to what your pet needs most. Reliability, clear communication, and a genuine passion for animals are what my clients love most about working with me! Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for whether that means early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles and playtime. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day, not just squeeze it in. Because I truly enjoy spending time with animals, I prioritize giving them attention, exercise, and structure. Whether I’m doing drop ins, walks, or overnight stays, I’m fully present and focused on making sure each pet feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment where routines are followed closely to reduce stress and keep things familiar. In my home, I provide plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and safe spaces where pets can relax. I keep a close eye on behavior, always ensuring everyone gets along and feels secure. In a client’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect and make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine including feeding schedules, walk times, and preferred sleeping arrangements. I send regular updates, photos, and notes, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Every pet is different, so I adapt my care to match their personality, energy level, and special needs whether that’s extra snuggles, a slower pace for senior dogs, or more active playtime for energetic pups.

About: I’ve loved animals all my life and have added several dogs and cats to our family over the years. I also love taking walks and caring for others! My furry family currently consists of a calico cat named TigerKitty (14) and a Karakachan/Heeler mix, Dixie (7). All of our furry family have been rescues. They are all still energetic, super friendly, and love to have visitors, play dates, walks and long naps! They enjoy playing with younger dogs and relaxing with older dogs. I currently work full time. I love to stay busy playing and getting movement during breaks and after work. Caring for your dog would make my day! It’s my goal to love on your furry family while you are away, making sure they have a good experience and feel safe and sound.

About: I love animals and have a 4 year old German shepherd. I will treat your dog as my own and so you don’t have to worry about your fur baby while away. I’m very responsible and would so love the opportunity. I work at home and set my own schedule, so I can fit caring for an animal anytime throughout the day. I’d love to take care of your doggo. I can come to your home and check on your baby, and bring them to my house if needed. If I were to bring them to my house they must be good with kids, I have a baby.

“Wendee did a great job with our 3 dogs & a cat over Christmas. She had to get them through severe weather for 2 days & they were as happy as could be when we returned. She communicated well with me & we hope to use her again.”


About: I've had dogs since I was a baby, and I've gotten very good at understanding and caring for them. I'm open to caring for any and all animals, but dogs and cats are what I do best. I also am working on a groomers certification, and will be going to veterinary school. I've been training my parents pups for some time now, and I do basic grooming services such as baths, trims, and nail clippings. I volunteered at my local animal shelter for a while, and did basic grooming, walking, and doggy dates for them during that time. I'm currently working part time but I'll be taking the summer off to fully enjoy it, and hopefully enjoy it with some awesome pets. I'll be starting veterinary school later this year, so we don't have to worry about that just yet. I always like to know where their food, medications, and other essentials are. I'll always ask for feeding and medication schedules, and I'll set a schedule for walks and potty breaks. I can do baths and basic grooming as well.
