Dog Walking Northwest

“Germaine has been walking our Luna three times a week for many months. Luna loves her time with Germaine, waiting for her by the door, even on the weekends! Germaine has been incredibly responsible and as well communicates extremely well. She has been proactive in minding her schedule and the holiday schedule. We are very satisfied to have utilized Germaine's time with our loved pup!”

About: Hello, my name is Atticus! I worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, have been pet and house sitting for neighbors and friends for over 3 years, actively volunteer at a cat shelter since 2017, and have been walking dogs since I was a kid. I have 5 pets (one dog, three cats, and one snake) of my own, making me well versed in caring for a variety of animals. I work a sporadically scheduled contracted job 1 to 3 Saturdays a month that I'm very committed to. However, these jobs have never gotten in the way of my care towards my own animals and the animals I have pet sat for. I don't pet sit in my own home, as I can't be sure that my animals will 100% get along with a client's animal. I have slept over in guest rooms of the houses I have spent over night in, as well as having only been in the house with the pets during the day, all per the client's request. Whatever one's house looks like or whatever features one's house may have, I am always sure to respect boundaries, clean up after myself, and make sure the house is left looking better than when I arrived.

“Caitlynn was doing walks/drop in visits with my dog when I was out of town. She is very responsive and I know my dog is in good hands with her. This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to do so!”

About: I have always had animals in my life. Cats, dogs, birds. I have cared for small and large breeds. Raised Rottweilers and our latest rescue is a Pitbull Mastiff mix from Boise Bully Breed. I have cared for pets with special needs also enjoy senior pets. I work part time from home with a very flexible schedule, just need a couple hours a week on my laptop. Available for day and night walks. Over nights work for me as well. Our 3 dogs and 1 cat are all very spoiled. The dogs are seniors so their exercise is always age appropriate. When we have foster pups they all step up for quiet play. Whenever I care for others pets I always want to specialize the care for what works best for the animal. I know my own pets are use to their routines and I think it's important to maintain those as pets can often get anxious when moms and dads are gone.

About: Hi! My name is Jace. I work full time from home in a professional role, which allows me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care while pet and house sitting. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big decision. My goal is to make sure your pets stay comfortable in their normal environment while giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and am happy to work with diverse pet needs including feeding schedules, medications, puppy/senior care, walks/runs, playtime, and always include daily updates. I am an outdoors lover, and like when I am camping, I strive to leave a pet happier and a home cleaner than I found them. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and respectful. I work from home for a large financial institution and have the ability to bring my work laptop to anywhere there is a reliable WiFi connection. Pets bring joy and happiness to a meeting and email filled day. When I started my own pet care business, I wanted to create an experience that made owners feel like I was taking care of their pets as my own. I hope to bring this same level of comfort to you and your family when I provide my services.

“SARAH is a super caring person. I can’t recommend her enough. We can be a over protective dog parents and get nervous leaving our Porter with a sitter. Sarah was amazing with him at the initial meeting. He was comfortable, and got some belly rubs and tug time with her. On the day of the visit we received updates, pictures, and a review of the walk. Thank you for being so caring. We definitely would give 10+”

About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am a responsible and reliable person who understands how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I grew up with animals, including dogs, cats, and a hamster. I currently have two cats, Draco and June! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities, including walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure they get the attention and care they need. I am patient, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and healthy. Whether your pet needs a walk, company while you’re away, or extra care during the day, I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine. I currently work a 9–5 Monday through Thursday and 9–1 on Fridays, and I have availability on weekends. I’m also able to help with pet care before or after my work hours if needed. I’m happy to coordinate schedules for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or check-ins to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I try to be flexible and work with owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space and keep the environment clean and calm so pets feel safe in their familiar surroundings. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they are happy and well cared for. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we always had two dogs at home, and I took pride in being the one to care for them. Daily walks—at least three times a day—became part of my routine, along with regular trips to the dog park. Over the years, I’ve trained my dogs to do their business outside and to interact well with other dogs and people. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Now, I have my own dog, whom I rescued three years ago, and he’s truly a joy. He’s incredibly sociable and loves being around other dogs. It would make me so happy for him to have some company every now and then! I work from home, which allows me to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m also free on weekends, making it the perfect time for pet sitting. I truly love taking care of them! I treat all dogs with a lot of love and patience. I try to give them the best care. it's very important to give them love and care.

About: Apart from taking care of my 3 fur babes , I have always taken care of families dogs as well prior dogs when I was younger. I have this huge love for animals and have gone to extend cases where I’ve helped safe a baby from a bad place. As well foster, and recently started a small rescue group with other five ladies who help me house pups that are in need. I started fostering in December of 2022, which she was a 3 week pup. I learned alot as a first time foster, from bottle feeding to now having my second foster who i received at 7weeks old and we recently discovered he is a special needs baby. With Hendrixx and Kookie at home and meeting fosters they have experienced more pups, and being ok with different animal sizes& breeds. I am Very attentive and prompt with there everyday life essential and making sure they are still enjoying their mom while having visitors. I have recently opened my schedule which allows me to take care of my pups and others throughout the days. I am able to be there fully and give them what they need.I am a stay at home mom so my 1y old baby and I hang out with the dogs all day🐾 I live in a small home where with a fenced front yard , my dogs and past clients dogs usually are hanging out there for stretches and potty breaks. At home, they have the whole living room where they are able to relax and lay where they please. I am very attentive with water change, and making sure they have snacks in between as well some play time here and there so it’s not just a lazy day.

“Traci has been great! We were temporarily housing my family’s dogs & needed the additional help walking them & in both cases she was flexible & patient with both of our dogs.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for just over two years, mostly for friends and family, and I love it! I’m great with dogs and cats, sticking to their routines, and making sure they are happy while you are away. I am a college student trying to save so I take this job very seriously and am reliable. I’ll even tidy up your house so you can come home to a clean space and a very happy furry friend! I’m a full time college student and all my classes are in the morning. I only work a part time job so I have most of my weekends available to watch your pets and some weekdays. I’m someone who you can feel comfortable leaving in your home. I’m respectful, responsible, and treat everyone space like it is my own(Maybe a little better than my own). I understand how important trust is when you are leaving you pet and home In someone else’s care. My goal is for you to come back to happy animals and a home that looks the way you left it. I send daily photos updates and try to stick to routines as best as possible. I will do extra things like water plants, bring in mail, and do some light cleaning as well!

About: I have been looking after pets of my own, as well as pet sitting for others for the past 15 years. My experience ranges from dogs, cats, bunnies, and smaller exotic animals. Taking care of others pets includes more then walking and feeding them. Making sure they have clean and well maintained supplies is a must! Following their own schedule allows for a comfortability similar to their own family. Making sure every pet is loved and comfortable is my ultimate goal! As a college student, I have many gaps in my days I can easily fill with a quick walk or check in with pets. I am also available for longer term care where I would be devoted to ensuring all of my time and focus is on your pet!🐾 Ensuring an animals safety is the most critical part of what I do as a pet sitter. I always make sure to follow the clients instructions on safety and care to make pets comfortable, and to hold myself accountable to the family's standards.

“World’s best dogwalker! Seriously - Emily is so reliable and great with animals. My pup even gets to go on awesome foothills adventures with his dog buddies. Socialization AND exercise? Awesome.”

About: My whole life has been spent with animals, dogs especially. My passion runs deep for beautiful creatures and I would do anything in my power to give them a helping hand. I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have at least one dog, along with many other animals. Before becoming a mother, I spent a lot of my free time working and volunteering at at various shelters and fostering animals. I have assisted/monitored many dogs during birth and helped to raise more puppies than I can count. Please keep in mind that I have two kids so your animals must do well with small children if I am boarding. You won't regret choosing someone like myself to take care of your dog (or any other animal) because I will treat him or her as if they were my own. Send me a message and book a vacation!

About: I love them all...big ones, little ones, young ones, old ones, sweet ones and even cranky ones! I've been a veterinarian for over 30 years so I guess you could say that pets are my life. Due to my training, I can deal with any condition your pet may have...administering meds, giving injections, and dealing with handicapped pets. I'm able to watch for any issues that might arise in your pet while you're away and get them addressed as needed so that you have %100 confidence that your pet (s) will be in excellent hands while you're away. I love to walk so your baby will get lots of exercise and, of course, they will all get lots of play and cuddles. I'm more or less retired (I work one day a week) so am able to do twice daily visits or walks as needed. For pets boarding with me, I'm home all day with them giving them lots of attention and love. Pets in our home will be treated like my own babies. They will get plenty of attention and twice daily walks (if wanted) as we live right next to the Boise greenbelt. They will be fed and medicated exactly as instructed and get plenty of snuggles and play time!

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles for over 15 years. I am familiar with the needs of senior animals and special diet or medication requirements. I am excited to get to care for your pets! I work 2 part time/ PRN positions as a phlebotomist which lets me create my schedule ahead of time, so I will have plenty of availability during the week or weekend to stop in or stay overnight. Pets cared for at your home will feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I will be able to play or take your pet for a walk around your own neighborhood.
