Pet care experience

My wife and I have grown up almost our entire lives around dogs/cats and have house/pet sat for multiple years in Sun Valley, Boise, and now our home in the Sonoma Valley. I have owned dogs for over 12+ years growing up, and as an adult, I have 12+ years experience house/pet sitting for profit and volunteering, and 7+ years assisting my wife with Rover. We have never had any problems with any size, age, or breed of dog/cat and have never had issues with any dogs/cats in our care. My wife and I both work locally, so we have plenty of time to care for, exercise and looking after the pets. If you are looking for someone who truly enjoys being around pets, you have come to the right place.

Tyler and Sam are naturals with animals. They took great care of Gwen and Tommy.

Tyler and Sam were great! They took great care of our dog, were respectful of our home, and were very communicative. When we got home our dog was a happy boy and our house was spotless. Would be happy to book them again!

We had Tyler and Sam pet/house-sit for several days and they were awesome! Their general manner with our animals left us feeling very comfortable, with complete confidence that everything would be totally handled while we were gone - their attention to detail and capacity to handle a busy household with ease was such a breath of fresh air. They were so loving and kind to our numerous furry family members and paid attention to all the small details we requested. They were extremely patient while we went over our senior animal needs, and their communication over the entire trip was thorough and totally put us at ease. They sent us as many updates and photos as we needed/wanted to feel comfortable, even if it was just to say hello. They were so effective and attentive that when we returned home, our animals were entirely unphased because they'd been in such experienced and caring hands while we were gone. On the house sitting front, Tyler and Sam offered to assist with delivery packages, haul in trash cans, water plants, etc, and take care of anything else we needed. They even assisted me with dishes I'd forgotten about on the way out the door! When we returned home, the only trace of their presence was happily tired out dogs and a home cleaner than we'd left it. WOW. Tyler and Sam have set the bar for us and are the only house sitters we've ever felt truly comfortable with. If you want professionals who'll care for your animals like their own and make sure you are comfortable and relaxed, we can't recommend them highly enough. Amazing job!

It’s so comforting to know all is being taken care of back home when I’m traveling, and to come back to a house in perfect order.
