About: Welcome to Barron's Leash, Jackson Hole's private residence dog boarding and pet concierge service. Private Dog Boarding: $250/night Only one client family is accepted at a time. New to Rover? Save $20 with promo code: MIKEH40 Dogs have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, have owned and trained German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs), and have spent years developing advanced handling, recall, and obedience skills in real-world environments. Beyond boarding and pet care, I have trained hunting dogs, worked extensively with e-collar recall training, and successfully guided my own dog, Char, through AKC agility testing. This hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, communication, drive, and temperament across a wide range of breeds and personalities. As founder of Barron's Leash and one of Jackson Hole's top-rated Rover sitters, I've hosted hundreds of successful boarding nights for local families, second-home owners, and visitors to Jackson Hole. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, I accept only one client family at a time and focus on individualized care in a secure private residence. Whether your dog prefers mountain adventures, long walks, wildlife watching from the window, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, every stay is tailored to their individual needs. My goal is simple: provide the kind of care I would expect for my own dog—safe, reliable, attentive, and stress-free. Pet care is a central and joyful part of my daily life here in Jackson Hole. Because I operate a flexible, home-based business, I spend the majority of my day with the dogs in my care. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, individualized attention, and consistent companionship throughout each stay. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I accept so that every guest receives the highest level of care, supervision, and comfort. Unlike many traditional boarding environments, dogs staying at Barron's Leash spend their time in a private residence where their daily routine, well-being, and happiness remain the priority. Whether your dog enjoys outdoor adventures, leisurely walks, wildlife watching from the window, or simply relaxing indoors, every stay is tailored to their individual personality and needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. Barron's Leash operates from a secure, dog-friendly private residence designed to provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment. Large windows overlooking Jackson Hole's natural surroundings offer plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities—what many guests quickly come to enjoy as their own version of "dog TV." Outdoor time takes place in a securely managed environment and is always supervised. Depending on your dog's temperament, training, and your preferences, activities may include leashed walks, structured play, or carefully managed off-leash adventures. I maintain consistent routines and clear expectations that help dogs feel comfortable, confident, and secure. From mealtimes and potty breaks to exercise and relaxation, each stay is tailored to your dog's individual needs. Whether relaxing at home or exploring Jackson Hole's trails and open spaces, your companion receives attentive, professional care guided by safety, sound judgment, and respect for the trust you've placed in Barron's Leash.

About: I am a trustworthy, reliable, and caring animal lover. I am also very conscientious of each home I am in and treat it with the respect and care I do my own. I am currently pet sitting full time while taking continuing education. I am flexible in my schedule. I can work days, nights, and weekends. I take my classes online so I am mobile. If needed, I can be with your pet most of the day and night. I care for your pets in the security of their own home or/and take them on walks in their neighborhood. I can also take them out on dog friendly trails if preferred. I meet them in the environment they feel most comfortable.

“Karissa has been walking my greyhound 4 days a week. She is reliable, good at communicating, and clearly cares for him. I’m grateful for her help and plan to continue using her dog walking services!”

“Here’s a draft for your review: Claire was an amazing dog walker for my dog, Pancho! She was incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure he was comfortable and happy during their walks. Pancho absolutely loved her, which says a lot about how great she is with animals. Claire was also super punctual, always arriving on time and sticking to the schedule. Booking with her through Rover was a breeze—she made the whole process so simple and stress-free. I highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Thank you, Claire, for taking such great care of Pancho!”

About: I am excited to take your dogs on walks, hikes, and any adventure they need! I can work with dogs of all ages and give them lots of love. My schedule is quite flexible. I’m currently in grad school online for education. On work days I am still available for walks every four hours. I wake up early to give immediate love and attention to pets. I’m a high energy girl so your pets will have several walks/runs per day. I will leave your home clean and tidy. I can follow schedules well, just let me know what your pets need!

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and have been pet-sitting regularly for the past 10 years. I love all animals and would be so happy to watch yours! I work in town during the week so I can let your dog out in the morning before work, sometimes during lunch, and after work. I can do whatever you need me to do (shut doors, put in crate, etc) to make sure your pet is safe and sound. I am a good communicator and will reach out if needed.

“Heather and Pancho were a fantastic duo! Always thrilled to see each other, she was on time every day and super friendly. Can't wait to team up with her again when I'm back.”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs my whole whole life. Love to go for hikes, runs or anything you may need with your pup. We have a fenced in yard. No current pets. I have fostered all sorts of breeds of different ages with every type of personality. I am very equipped to help train or take care of trained dogs! I hike and spend lots of time outdoors, so I am available to take your dogs on all sorts adventures and walks. My schedule is very flexible since my job is virtual and I create my own hours currently. I am very attentive to pets and will make them my number one priority during there time with me. I have a park right next to my house and provide any amount of activity level or just love on the couch.

About: I'm great with animals and will take good care of your pets. I've lived in Jackson for 6 years and grew up in Idaho. I work as massage therapist, do yoga, love hiking, reading, and traveling. I'm great with all sizes and shapes of dogs and hyper dogs do not bother me. I grew up with dogs and cats in Idaho and have been pet sitting for 2 years now. I am trustworthy and can watch your animals long term if you need me to. I also babysit children and have been doing that for about 15 years now, so if you ever need me to do both I can do that. Feel free to trust me with your animals and children, I will take good care of them

About: I have lived in Jackson for the past three years. Yes, you have seen me running through town with my absurd mullet. You may be wondering why my rate is so cheap, well, I live in a van and believe our community should support one another. I would love to take great care of your pet and get them outside frequently. I used to live with dogs and cats and have thought about getting a pet of my own. I have found I really enjoy taking care of pets before committing to having a pet of my own. Not only does it help you but also gives myself an opportunity to have great company on my walks and other outdoor activities. I am currently working at Black Tie Ski Rentals 3 days a week. Before work, I either go to the gym or skiing. After work, I usually head to the gym or head straight home. Other than part time employment, I have no other commitments, so your pet will be a priority. First and foremost, I ask the owner what they are comfortable with regarding their pet. Next, I will establish a relationship with the pet that makes myself and the pet comfortable. Usually after a day, I find the pet is accustomed to my presence and we get along great. I will respect all of your boundaries and look forward to meeting your furry friend!

“Clare was great! She accommodated our boy's clockwork-like bathroom schedule; going as far as rescheduling work appointments so he could make his mid-day "appointment". We will definitely be contacting her again when we have to travel without him.”

About: I grew up with three dogs and a cat. I’m a runner, so would always take the pup for a nice adventure with me. Let’s play! I currently work as a freelance environmental consultant and writer, and can do much of my work from home! I can take a break to check in on a pup or cat, or work from your place if preferred. I love taking and sending pics of your buddies! I have a yard at my place and live right by Josie’s but would prefer yours.

“Our foster dog Obi can be very skittish and Jay did a great job being patient and understanding. He was able to get him out on a walk and did a great job!”

About: I have been working with dogs and training dogs for about 8 years now. All different breeds, sizes and ages! I have experience medicating animals and having structure for those puppies! I would love to get to know your animals and help care for them on those days they need just a little extra exercise or love! I currently work 4 days a week with an hour lunch break so I could easily stop by for a drop in visit or a 30 minute walk! I cater to each pets needs. If they need love and a quick potty break or a walk and exercise! Each animal is different on what they need and I will work towards making sure their ever need is cared for!
