Pet Sitting Ketchum

About: I have been trained in emergency response (Wildland Firefighter Certified) and will jump into action with a level head to ensure the safety of your pet should the need arise. I have cared for pets of all personalities! I used to WWOOF on farms across the states that had various animals (dogs, cats, sheep, chickens) and I would often look after the animals while the owners were away, which included cleaning up after them, feeding them, watering them, and making sure any risky situations (like window blind strings) were tucked away out of reach. I have cat sitted in college for a friend while she was away for a week. I also periodically volunteered at a cat cafe and an SPCA for 3 months. I work full-time, about 35 hours per week. Usually I wake up and go to gym before work. However, sometimes I feel like I have too much free time before work, so I'm looking to do some dog walking to fill in my free time before the gym! I'm available Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 7am-2pm because that's the time I have before my usual shift. I usually like to go camping on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but if you need me to do some dog walking or sitting on those days, let me know 3 days in advance and I can see what I'd be willing to take on! I can crate your dog if needed, play with them using toys, clean up messes, and ensure they're not getting into trouble. I'll also ask you if there is anything in your home that has been a risk to your pet's safety in the past, such as window blind strings, and ensure that they are tucked away out of reach. I can feed your pet and take it outside for poops.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, and honestly, my life just doesn’t feel complete without them. I’ve had 3 dogs, 3 cats and lots of different animal. Ever since I was little, I’ve always been gentle and caring with every animal. Animals aren’t just pets to me they’re family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m studying psychology and hope to combine that with my love for animals in the future, maybe as a vet or through therapy work. For now, I bring experience, care, and a lot of love to every pet I get to look after. I’m currently working part-time until September 15. I usually work 12–7 PM, and my days off are Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m free all day then. On other days, I’m available for dog walks in the morning before work or in the evening after. I have a house back in my home country in Europe, and I currently have a dog and a cat. My dog lives inside but gets lots of outdoor time, and my cat goes in and out as she pleases. I walk my dog three times a day, and sometimes we go on long hikes. I really believe dogs should spend as much time outside as possible, get plenty of exercise, love, and a good diet. In my home, pets are safe, happy, and super well cared for. I’d give the same care, attention, and love to any pets I look after making sure they’re happy, safe, and well taken care of.

“Sarah stayed with my dog, who has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone. She was very communicative, friendly and so willing to help! Would recommend her to anyone!”

“We hired Adam for several in-home visits to care for our much-loved cat, Charlie, while we visited family down south. We couldn't be happier with the service Adam provided. We found him to be extremely reliable and attentive, not only taking care of Charlie's needs but also assuring our home's security while we were away. He's an excellent communicator, always prompt and enthusiastic, and clearly an animal lover. We highly recommend him and are grateful to have found such a resource that allows us to keep Charlie at home when we travel instead of boarding him.”

About: I've taken care cats, dogs, and guinea pigs since I was a little kid. My family was super adventurous and we took our dogs everywhere with us. Growing up we fostered cats and dogs of all breeds and ages. I am a professional cross-country skier so I am very active during the day. I can go on many walks or runs with your dog if needed. I will be out for two hours in the morning and then free until the afternoon. Our cats are indoor cats because of our busy street. However, growing up we would let our cats out for however long they wanted and then let them in. We had a revolving door so when we were home they were allowed to go out. I will try to make you feel as comfortable and safe as possible when watching your pet.

About: With years of experience in pet sitting since my teenage years, I’ve provided reliable care for a variety of dogs, both young and old. I’m skilled in administering medications, managing special diets, and accommodating any extra needs such as extended walks or additional bathroom breaks. I’m committed to offering the attentive and personalized care your pet deserves. I am available for pet care throughout the weekends with full availability for walks, drop-ins,, and extended care. During the weekdays, I work from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, but I am still able to provide early morning care before work and evening walks after my shift. I am responsible and committed to ensuring that every pet receives adequate exercise, attention, and routine, even on the days that I work. Whether it’s a morning walk, an evening check-in, or weekend care, I am here to provide the best possible experience for your pet. When caring for pets in your home or mine, I prioritize a smooth and comfortable transition for your dog. I like to start with an introduction at your house, where I can meet both you and your dog in their familiar environment. This helps establish a sense of trust and comfort. During this visit, I also familiarize myself with the location of your dog’s items and routines, ensuring that I can provide the best and most attentive care. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for your pet.

About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs for many years and want to broaden my doggy friends! I trained my black lab puppy and also had an another black lab my entire life who lived 16 years, so I am skilled with older and younger dogs. I am a recent college graduate home for the summer and I love dogs. Just looking for things to do and may as-well make it enjoyable!! I have a condo perfect for dogs. I am very respectful and clean about other people’s spaces. Dogs are my besties and I am excited to meet more!!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labs and giving them several walks a day was always a high priority so they could burn up all that energy!I understand the importance of a good walk and how it can also be tough to squeeze in sometimes on a busy day. So don’t spend the day feeling guilty if your schedule won’t allow time to give your dog a walk. I can help. We usually let our dogs off the leash so they could run and fetch, but if you would rather me keep them on a leash that is what I will do. I have lived in the area for a while so I know plenty of spots to take them, or if you have preferred routes I will do that. On 3 occasions over the past couple years I have stayed with my sister and her husbands two dogs (lab mixed with Aussie Shepard) for a week at a time. They have as strict of a walking routine/diet as you can imagine and I had no problems satisfying their needs. I also understand that when traveling you cannot always bring your pet with you and putting them in a doggie hotel is both expensive and not a good time for them. If you’d like them to remain in the comfort of your home I’m happy to spend time with them and make sure they are comforted through that period. I work mornings from 5:30-noonish 5 days a week. I am available from 1 until 8 or 9 for walks or check-in’s, feeding, cleaning up. I’m a very active person so can take your dog on long walks, a hike or just play in the yard if preferred. My parents who are often not in town have a large very nice condo in elkhorn that is pet friendly that is available for use. There is an upstairs deck available off the living room for them to go between for them to get some fresh air The yard is not fenced so downstairs I could not leave them to roam. But neighborhood is quiet with a great path for walking them, also have trails out into the desert I could take them if alright.

About: I have owned and trained mastiffs and German shepherds for the last 30 years and I’ve had pets my whole life. Dogs are my passion. They have taught me so much in my life and I love working with all breeds. I am available most days and evenings. I have a five-year-old German Shepherd who loves dogs and loves playing but before boarding I would love for the pets to meet. If you need to drop off your pets for a few hours or longer, she will be here, but if I’m walking your pet for drop ins, she will stay home. . I have a very dog friendly home. Dogs are allowed on the furniture on my bed and it’s just me and my puppy so I do have a crate if dogs feel more comfortable. She likes to sleep in there sometimes but I am a crate free home I live in Elkhorn have a nice walking path and will always have your dog on a leash. My dog is off leash trained, but I always have others pets on leash.

About: I have a deep love for dogs, and my experience goes beyond just walking. I’ve helped raise both of my own dogs, which has given me a solid foundation in training, care, and understanding canine behavior. I’ve also dog-sat and walked for various breeds and sizes, gaining experience with different temperaments and needs. Whether it’s providing gentle care for a senior dog or keeping a puppy engaged, I ensure each pet feels safe, loved, and active. My genuine passion for dogs sets me apart, and I always go the extra mile to give them the best care possible! I just wrapped up my seasonal job as an outdoor guide, so my schedule is pretty much wide open! This allows me to offer flexible and consistent care for your pet. I can easily accommodate daily walks, playtime, and feeding schedules, tailoring my availability to meet your pet’s needs. With my love for dogs and a flexible routine, I’m committed to providing the attention and care your pet deserves, whether it’s a daily walk or a longer sitting engagement. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment by ensuring that the area is secure, removing any potential hazards, and providing plenty of space for them to relax and play. I follow your pet's routine closely, offering regular exercise, feeding, and lots of attention to keep them happy and engaged. Trust is essential, so I make sure to communicate with you frequently, providing updates and photos, so you always feel confident your pet is in great hands. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority!

“Georgia was punctual and responded quickly to all messages! She was also patient with our energetic young dog. Felt like our pups were in good hands 👍”

About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of animals my entire life, but the furry kind are my favorite! I’ve been trusted to care not only for others for babes but also human babies, too. I’m very reliable, trustworthy and patient. I do also foster dogs and puppies of all breeds and with all kinds of different needs or “issues”. As an adult I have my own fur gang, one being a reactive pup with lots of big feelings. I’ve done lots of training with him which in turn has pushed me into learning a lot more about dogs from a behavioral/psychological position. I’ve decided to branch out into pet care on a more professional level because I myself have found it difficult to find someone to care for my fur babes as I expect. As I have high standards for their care, I have high standards for myself when caring for others. I will treat them with kindness, compassion, understanding and love. I will send updates with photos, if desired, and will be home with them more then i’m away. I will take them outside to play ball, tug or whatever their favorite game is and I will also snuggle them if they choose to. I will whole heartedly love and treat them as my own to ensure they’re happy, healthy and safe while you’re away! I am happy to assist with any home needs as well. Mail pickup, plant care, lite house cleaning etc. I am a very organized and clean person and guarantee to leave your home at minimum as clean as you left, if not cleaner. My husband and I are business owners, and I work remotely. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to stay with your fur babes as little or as much as desired. I take pride in following any directions, guidelines, or rules set in place by each family as every pet, family and home is different from the next.

“Amy did an amazing job caring for my cats! The house was clean and orderly when I returned. I would definitely book her services in the future!”

About: I love dogs! I live with my 17 year old miniature poodle, Milo, who I have had since we were both pups. We love house guests and walking mates. Milo and I walk around city park twice a day. In addition, I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. I work from a home office and am at home most of the time. Your dog will always be by my side. I am a professional videographer and would enjoy sending update videos letting you know what your loved one is getting up to while you are away. Milo and I hope we are a great match for your dog / dogs and would love your dog/dogs to be our temporary roommates. I work for Sun Valley but have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Walks, Sitting, check ins only as I currently can't have pets staying at my current dwelling. Unfortunately I can't house any pets at my current location but would love to watch your dog set up as a sitting at your house.

“Did a wonderful job”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with a passion for caring for pups of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or just some cozy couch time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home—whether you’re gone for the day or away for a week! Dogs bring so much joy and balance to my day. I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they need—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or winding down with cuddles in the evening. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to enjoy! I have a yard where they can safely run around and play, or just relax on the porch and soak up the sunshine.
