About: I grew up on a ranch so I have a wide variety of experiences with all animals from dogs and cats to cattle and sheep. I have been caring for animals ever since I could walk and have always loved walking dogs for neighbors and friends. I am currently a third grade teacher so I will be available to walk in the early mornings, late afternoons, or evenings! I am mostly available on the weekday evenings and certain weekends. I would love to come help by letting your pet out in the yard or taking them for a walk. I will keep them safe by keeping them on a leash and not letting them out of sight.

About: I am a veterinary assistant and have worked and surrounded myself with animals my whole life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked with vets, and was a dog handler and a doggie daycare over the past few summer years. I have experience with cat, dogs, fish, rodents, reptiles, and more. I love hiking and spending time outside as well, so hikes with dogs are more than welcome! I recently moved to Boise and am excited to get to know the area, so taking your dog on walks is the perfect excuse for me to explore ;) I work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm so i before and after my shift I can take care of your furry, scaly or slimy friends! I also don’t work weekends at all so my availability is wide open! When working with animals in their own homes, I think it’s important to understand you’re coming into their space and to work slowly to earn their trust! I have worked with many different animals and know how to read body language, so if your pet is uncomfortable I know how to work with them and listen to their needs.

“She was absolutely wonderful! My dogs loved her, and I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She was attentive, noticed when something needed to be cleaned up, followed my additional requests, brought in my mail, and kept me updated throughout the visits. I really appreciated her flexibility and how well she cared for my dogs and my home. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I recently graduated with my MBA and, while I figure out what comes next professionally, I’m currently home full time. That means I’m able to spend plenty of time with my dogs and any dogs staying with me rather than being gone at work all day. I’ve always had dogs in my life, starting when I was a child, and I truly cannot imagine my life without them. Everyone knows that person who walks into a room and says hello to the dogs before the people. That’s me. I’m absolutely that person. I currently have four dogs of my own, so dogs are a pretty big part of everyday life in our house. I have a Pomeranian, a Husky mix, and two Chocolate Labs. My dogs love other dogs, and having dogs ranging from a little Pom to large, energetic dogs has given me plenty of experience with different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. My Pom is 17 now and has definitely earned the right to take life at his own pace. These days, that often means being carried around by me rather than walking everywhere himself. He also has his own smaller fenced area within our large fenced yard so he can enjoy being outside without having to deal with the bouncing energy of the bigger dogs. If a visiting dog needs a little more peace and quiet outside, they are welcome to share his area too. Not every dog wants to be in the middle of the action all the time, and that’s perfectly fine here. For the dogs who DO want to be in the middle of the action, there is plenty of room in our large fenced yard to run, play, explore, or just hang out. And if your dog needs daily walks, I’m your girl! Mine insist on them, so walking is already part of my everyday routine. My Pom makes it about half a mile, my Husky gets around 2.5 miles, and my two Chocolate Labs need at least 3 miles. I walk all four separately, so everyone gets individual time and a walk that actually fits their needs. Adding another walk or two for a visiting dog is no problem, whether they need a long walk to burn off some energy or a short leisurely one to sniff everything along the way. Your dog will fit right in. Inside, there are dog beds and blankets throughout the house, although our dogs are also welcome to sleep with us. Basically, they sleep wherever they decide they are most comfortable. I want a dog staying with us to feel comfortable too, so I’m happy to follow what they are accustomed to at home as much as possible. I also take mealtimes seriously. Our Husky and Pomeranian eat separately, while our two Labs are comfortable eating together. Visiting dogs are typically fed separately from our dogs so everyone can relax and enjoy their meal without competition or unnecessary stress. Depending on the dog, that may be as simple as eating across the room or having a baby gate between them. I adjust based on the individual dogs involved because their comfort and safety matter more than having one rule that every dog has to follow. Some people might say my dogs are spoiled rotten. I prefer to say they are extremely well loved, and that is exactly how I treat the dogs who stay with me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, from seniors who prefer a quieter pace to younger dogs with energy to spare. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may need a little extra attention. Whether your dog is staying for daycare or boarding, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for them. When a dog stays with me, they aren’t treated like a guest I’m watching. They’re treated like part of the family until their family comes back to get them. I am currently home full time, so I have lots of time to spend with my dogs and yours! My life is sincerely built around the happiness and comfort of my babies, and yours when they are with me. Our days already include individual walks, outside time, playtime, meals, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of lounging and snuggles. Because I’m home, I also have the flexibility to adjust my routine to what your dog is used to. If they normally eat at a certain time, need multiple walks, take medication on a schedule, need more frequent potty breaks, or simply want someone nearby, I can accommodate that. Your dog doesn’t have to adjust to my schedule. As much as possible, I’ll adjust my schedule to theirs. We have a large, fully fenced yard with a smaller fenced area within it for little dogs or dogs who just want some peace and quiet. That way, if the big dogs are running around playing and being their usual goofy selves, the smaller or less energetic dogs don’t have to worry about getting run over! Visiting dogs are welcome to use whichever area makes them most comfortable. We also have multiple dog doors, so dogs can come and go as they need or want rather than having to wait for someone to let them outside. Since I’m home full time, I’m here to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day. I pay attention to each dog and what makes them comfortable. Dogs can be together when they enjoy each other’s company, but I also have plenty of space to separate them when someone needs a break. Meals are typically separated as well, either with physical space or a baby gate, so everyone can eat comfortably and safely without worrying about another dog getting into their food. My own dogs range from a 17 year old Pomeranian to a Husky mix and two Chocolate Labs, so I’m very accustomed to managing different sizes, ages, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I don’t expect every dog to behave or interact the same way. I’d rather adjust the environment to the dog and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules. My goal is to keep things as familiar as possible for your dog while you’re away, because sometimes the best way to help them feel safe is simply to keep their world as normal as possible.

About: With years of experience in grooming, daycare, and pet sitting, I specialize in senior care, rescue dogs, and puppies. I’m confident with all temperaments, trained in medication administration, and known for providing calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I structure my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for. Whether it’s early morning feedings, mid-day walks, or evening cuddles, I prioritize consistency, comfort, and attention for every pet I look after. In your home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I keep things clean, stick to their comfort zones, and give lots of affection and attention so they feel secure and cared for.

“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Ellie was fantastic! She stayed in communication with me and made sure I got updates. My pups were very happy and well taken care of”

About: I worked in veterinary care for over 3 years as well I have pets of my own. I dog sit for family and cats as well. I have experience with animals all ages and love playing and puppy cuddles. I am in college full time and always home so I have an open schedule all the time. I’m open to any day and am able watch anytime of the day. I have a large fenced yard with now holes.

“Katie was great! We’ve only used Rover one other time and we were unimpressed last time, but Katie really impressed us. The dogs loved her and next time we go out of town we will be coming to her first!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, parrots, fish, and even ducks. I care for each animal as if it were my own, and prioritize not only their physical health but also their emotional! Animals are deeply emotional and are affected when their parents go away, so I promise to provide excellent care of your fur babies. Rest assured you have a reliable and loving person that you can trust. I work full time during the week, but that doesn’t stop me from taking excellent care of your pets. They will be seen at a minimum of 3 times per day, if not more. I like to see them before work, during lunch, and when I get off. I prefer to stay overnight to make sure they’re okay. If they need more attention, I can certainly accommodate! My job has the flexibility of letting me work from home if needed. We prefer to let Koda free roam around the house. We don’t have a fenced in backyard but are always taking her out on the leash. She is lower energy for a Doodle and easily bored, so we make sure to give her toys and treats! She loves watching kids movies too so we make sure to have those on while we’re not home. Whether your pup is at my house or yours, they will go out at a minimum of 3 times daily. If they need to be crated or separated from my Koda, we can make that happen too! I will adjust anything in my schedule or routine to accommodate your fur baby. ❤️ We allow dogs on the couch and bed because we love snuggling!

“Carsyn was so helpful and kind to our dog while we left town for four days. She was responsive and kept in contact with us the entire time ensuring our girl was happy! I would highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I'm Charley, I’ve recently moved to the Meridian/Boise area from Wyoming. I moved in with my sister who has 2 mini golden doodles who I love to take care of, take on walks, and also get pup-cups with. I grew up with a Rottweiler, beagle, and blue heeler, so I am definitely well rounded when it comes to taking care of different types of dogs. While in high school I talked my mom into letting me get my own dog with all of the included responsibility. One of my favorite parts of having a dog was teaching her all of the basic commands and tricks. I'm passionate about giving dogs the care and attention they need. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, I understand the importance of a well-taken care of and happy pup. Whether it's an overnight stay or a leisurely stroll, I'm here to ensure your furry friend has a great time while you’re away! I’m currently working Monday through Friday from around 8am-5pm with some days only working till noon. I have all nights off, so I will be able to care for the pets however they need. My weekends are usually pretty open with occasionally working some Sundays! I do not offer in home care for your pets at the moment. In clients homes, I will be able to care for your dog as much as he/she needs whether they need multiple walks, specific eating times, or medications.

About: I have had all kinds of animals from ferrets and birds a to all kinds of cats and dogs. I am a total animal lover. I work from home most of the time and my husband is retired. We love animals but have been traveling in the last four years so we don’t have any of our own right now. We would love to care for yours. I have a fully fenced yard across from a big park for lots of walking and fun. We live in a small cult-a-sac with very light traffic and very safe.

“Regan was a great sitter for my pup! She followed instructions and gave me consistent updates and photos while away on my trip. Great response time. She was extremely friendly and easy going and made my pup feel comfortable. 10/10 would recommend and hire again. Thank you so much Regan!!”

“Responsive, adaptable and loves the pups!”

About: I've had animals all my life. Everything from dogs and cats to reptiles and small animals. I've been house sitting for friends and co workers for almost 20 years. I'm a part time actress, so while my schedule does vary, I typically have a lot of time at home between gigs! I can spend a lot of time with your fur babies! I am comfortable with whatever level of care you need for your fur babies! If you need me to be there for the majority of the day, I can adjust accordingly.

“Wow wow! Alinda was absolutely incredible. She took in our packages, helped us put a new collar on our dog that came in the mail while we were out of town. She was always on time, took photos and was extra communicative throughout the entire process. Thank you for being amazing. I appreciate you so much!”

“Annemarie did an amazing job looking after Cricket. Cricket historically has not warmed up to Pet Sitters, however Annemarie is now Cricket's new best friend. Setting in her lap, receiving brushings and wanting to play, this we have never seen before. We highly recommend Annemarie for your pets as she is compassionate and great communicator. We got pictures and updates daily while in Europe. Hard to believe the change in Cricket, this is a first!”

“Sunni has been great with our dog. This is the 3rd time we have used her and we will use her again with no hesitations! Book with confidence that she will go above and beyond to take care of your pet!”
