“Patricia is so kind and careful with my very elderly dog. She's gone above and beyond with holiday care, messes, mail, and Sasha's medications. Highly recommended!”


About: I have had pets most of my life. I mainly care for dogs, cats and horses. I have also assisted in caring for exotic animals in a zoo setting. I am comfortable with all size and breed of your best friend. I currently work full time. I can do visits before I work and after I get off. I would be able to do visits anytime of the day on both days of the weekend. I also can visit anytime on all major national holidays. I would take the utmost care while inside your home. I will provide companionship and care for your furry friend. I will keep you updated on your furry best friend while I am visiting them.

About: I've grown up with all kinds of dogs since I was 8. I've been the family's go-to pet sitter for years. I love every breed, big or small. I've had many kinds of pets personally over the years including cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, chickens, horses and a hedgehog! I volunteered at Zoo Boise as an educator for two years and am familar with exotics. I also lived and worked on a small farm, caring for the chickens and horses. I've much experience with senior animals and animals who need medication. The first dog I adopted was a senior who needed a daily pill. I also frequently give meds to cats in multiple forms as a volunteer at the Ontario Feral Cat Project! I'm currently looking for steady work and am available for animal care 24/7! Whether multiple daily walks or a week long live in sitting, I'm your guy! We'll meet first so I can meet you and your pet! You'll tell me all about them and what they're used to at home or on walks. I cannot take any pets into my home currently.

“Laressa gave me exactly what I needed for my dog, and in such short notice. She sent me pictures and videos to let me know how much fun my dog was having, and I really believe he got the best care. I will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Taylor is absolutely fantastic and when we go out of town, we will have her watch our animals again as she was very reliable and was very consistent with communication which we really appreciated as we hate leaving our animals!”


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 have worked with animals my whole life! Trained service dogs as a teenager, trained foster pups, and have really learned their body language. I have some of my own as well as lots of other critters Im a newly stay at home momma - so my days revolve around my animals that I have- ducks, chickens, ,bunnies, and my dogs come first! We love to stay active. We go on lots of walks. We do sniff work in the backyard, play fetch, or hang in the kiddie pool. And we also have a dog treadmill! My goal is always to tire out the dog and have them sleep hard bc a tired dog is a happy dog 🤍 I have a fenced yard on almost half an acre, my livestock is in the back in a separate pen so they can’t be chased. And I also have a gate inside my home so I can separate my dogs from the new ones if needed. I always keep an eye on the dogs even when outside to ensure safety. My dogs are like my kids so I understand the stress of leaving them! So I always make sure to send lots of pics and videos of your dog living their best lives so you feel a little better

About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life. I've even helped deliver puppies! Family and friends have relied on me to check in on their pets, give baths, feed and groom their dogs. I only work on the weekends right now so I have plenty of time during the week to give your dogs the love and care they need. I am comfortable around dogs and very energetic. I can crate your dog if needed and take your dogs on lots of walks (and I'm very mindful of how hot/cold the ground is for them).

“Jordyn is a great dog sitter. She came to my house on time to meet my girls, was obviously very comfortable around big dogs. She sent me pictures and videos everyday when she visited with them and they looked very happy and relaxed!”


“Kety is wonderful! I would definitely recommend her for taking care of your pets. She handled my three dogs well. They were happy to see her each day and she took them on walks and played with them during her visits. She sent photos and assured me that the dogs were doing fine. I was very worried about leaving them for six nights. She was in contact with me each day to let me know what she was doing which really set my mind at ease. I am hopeful that she would be willing to do this again for me in the future!”

“We met with Nicki prior to today's check-in. She was professional, friendly, and Zoey immediately took a liking to her so we knew she was a good fit for all of us! Nicki followed all of our instructions down to the very last detail. She communicated from the start of the check-in visit to the very end. She sent a couple of pictures and we could tell Zoey was happy and being loved on! Nicki even brought in a heavy box that had been delivered and this went above and beyond our expectations.

Madison G.
“5-Star Review for Our Amazing Dog Sitter We couldn’t be happier with the care our two dogs received! Madison went above and beyond to make sure both Ollie (Scottish Terrier) and Ripley (Golden Retriever) were happy, comfortable, and well-loved while we were away. Our dogs enjoyed daily walks, playtime, and snuggles and even a few surprise treats. Communication was excellent she sent regular updates, photos, and even videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The house was clean when we returned, and the pets were happy. Highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be hiring her again.”
