“Absolutely Superb! I'm extremely pleased with Davalyn, she did just what she told me she would do while I was away. My dogs seemed to love her and and she did them also. I will book again when our schedules align. Very Professional! Thank you Davalyn!”

“Kayla had excellent communication before, during, and at the end of our booking. She stayed in our home and watched our two dogs and they were super happy when we got home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I've had a dog in my house one way or another since high school. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly and energetic. I can feed, water, walk, bathe and play with your best furry friend. Whatever your pet needs are, they will be met. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home everyday, all day minus an errand or two every week. I have more than enough time to give your pet the care and love that is needed while your away. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard, with two very loving, energetic dogs to play with. I can either let the dogs all play or keep them separate for whatever time is needed. I am rarely gone so supervision is always guaranteed.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my entire life. Since I was a baby, I’ve been around all sorts of animals. My love for animals has only gotten stronger since then. I like to learn all about them, and get better at caring for them. I do not have a job, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your furry companion! I am available almost throughout the entire day! I am able to house smaller animals in my home. Cats and small dogs will do just fine here, my dogs are friendly. If you are uncomfortable with having your small dog or cat near bigger dogs, then I have another place I can watch them at!

“Kaity did a great job as our housesitter and pet sitter. She sent frequent pictures of our animals and played with our dog. Our shy cat even came out of hiding for her! She watered all of my flowers outside, collected mail and packages, and left the house in great shape. We will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Besides excellent care for our old gal, Blue, a HUGE plus is that Kim left the house looking like I had just stepped out to grocery shop and came back an hour later. The only " footprint" she left was a happy pup! Thank you, Kim!!”

Sharon L.

“My pets enjoyed having Candace coming over and she dud good stepping in when our other sitter has a family emergency. She even made friends with our one dog who does not like strangers.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats. Even farm animals since I was 10 yrs old. I'm even going to college to be a veterinary technician. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have during the day plenty of time to play and work with your pups up until 3 pm. I have a huge fenced yard with two friendly pups to keep your babies company. I can also crate your fur baby if necessary needed.

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at my home for the weekend and took great care of my two cats and my senior Shih Tzu, who requires a little extra attention. I came home to happy pets, a tidy house, and complete peace of mind. She communicated well throughout her stay and made everything feel effortless. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”

“Kristi is amazing. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. She's very communicative and totally understood my older dog's routine. We had a great experience going out of town knowing our dog was being taken care of. Also our house was perfect when we got home!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for years. As well as house sat for a friend who owns a farm, caring for her numerous animals. Hi! I currently work at 9 AM to 5 PM job and can make it home around 12 PM to 1 PM for a lunch break to take the dog to the bathroom and/or a walk. This would make it so the dog will go 4 hours between potty breaks. I have full availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with plenty of space for a dog to run around safely. We board dogs often and have puppy proofed it for safety.

“Pam stayed at our home and looked after our dachshunds and parakeets for over 1 week and we couldn't be happier. Her little poodle Jessie got on well with our babies. We recommend Pam without reservations!”

About: I want to learn more about how to help animals, so I recently started volunteering at the local humane society again, after a long break when life got busy. While I love all animals, most of my experience was with dogs, giving them walks and assisting with socialization playgroups to help alleviate their kennel stress and help them get more likely to get adopted. In addition, I took behavioral classes for dogs at my time at the humane society. I also had dogs of my own, including one who was very reactive to his environment, which I also went through training for. I also had some experience in helping my dogs through illness during their lifetime. They were my babies, and I understand how precious pets are to their families. While I can't replace a pet's loved one when they aren't physically around, I want to be there for them during those uncertain times. I'm available at any time, as long as I don't have a prior commitment! Hanging out with animals is probably way better than what I was going to do anyway. While I am fairly new to petsitting in this capacity, I have petsit for friends' cats and dogs in the past. I enjoyed the process of gaining the trust of the animal by respecting their space, and giving them affection whenever they wanted to try coming up to me. I always appreciated getting as much information from the owners as possible, so I knew whether the animals had any allergies, or what bothered them, or if they needed any special kind of care. I loved texting the owners photos of what their pets were doing, as well as providing updates.

“Madison is very professional. She has sit for us before but we have a new rescue we were worried about. She let us know how he was doing and sent us pictures and updates which put us at ease.”

About: I am an animal lover for life! Starting as a teenager, I house sat for the neighbor and their poodle who suffered seizures. I continued to pet sit and have always had dogs and cats of my own. I'm currently looking for work, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. Whether it's a walk, play date or house sitting, I'm available! I'm unable to bring your pets to my home at this time. I am happy to pick your pet up from your home for walks or play dates. I am also available for house sitting opportunities where I am able to bring my dog too.

“Very pleased with Cailin's week spent with our 2 goldendoodles at our home. She tended to our many outdoor plants. The house was clean and welcoming when we walked in the door. Thank you, Cailin!”

I'm currently in the process of adding reviews from my previous clients, so while my profile is still growing, I'd be happy to provide more information about my experience during our meet-and-greet. As a detail-oriented and dependable pet sitter, I believe in providing exceptional care not only for your pets but also for your home. While house sitting, I'm happy to keep your home tidy and make sure everything is just as you left it. I offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before booking so we can get to know each other, answer any questions, and review your pet's routine. My goal is to ensure both you and your pets feel comfortable and confident before committing to any services. I have experience administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and working with pets that have busy routines or special needs. My services include, in your home: -Overnight house sitting -Drop-in visits -Daily dog walks -Extended "happy visits" at a discounted rate for pets who benefit from extra companionship or a gradual introduction before longer stays -In-home baths and nail trims upon request Experience & Qualifications: -Bachelor's degree in Animal Science from Penn State University -Professional pet sitter with over 10 years of experience -Force-free dog trainer specializing in positive reinforcement and clicker training -Service dog training experience -Animal shelter and kennel experience -Former foster volunteer with 11+ years of animal rescue and shelter experience -Chair Leader of a Small & Exotic Animal Club -Experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and other pets! -Completed animal behavior and canine body language certification courses One area that truly sets me apart is my understanding of animal behavior and body language. I have experience working with nervous, fearful, and reactive dogs/cats, and I always prioritize building trust at their pace. I use low-stress, force-free handling techniques to create positive experiences and help pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide personalized care that matches their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, scaled, etc!) family members and providing them with the same love and attention they receive from you. I am currently looking for full-time work, but when I do overnights, I stay there every night after work, and in the past, I have been able to come during my work shift to do potty breaks, etc. I will update this as soon as I hear about employment. I come to the clients' home, and I come over beforehand to see everything. I prefer written instructions whenever it is possible for the owner to leave them.

“I really appreciate the time they took to make sure my Ray had playtime and also got plenty of pictures of him which I needed because I missed him. He looked very happy.”

About: Hello! I am an animal lover and always have been since I was little! I have a beautiful blue heeler/terrier mix who loves to go on hikes, jogs, and even paddleboarding! I will respect any and all boundaries but would love to take your pup out if needed to any place for some extra sunshine! But if that’s not an option I am also totally okay cuddling and being chill too! I am excited to take care of your dog and/or cat! I am currently working part time at dutch bros. So I work at max 6 hour shifts. Starting in late August I will be a full time student/athlete at the college of Idaho but I am still willing to fulfill what is needed! Just reach out and ask and I can make anything work. I will always listen to what I am told and be extremely cautious in a home that isn’t mine! I respect all boundaries of the owner and the dog.

“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”
