“Michael was very helpful and friendly with Jelly. He helped us when we need to book a walker right away he was able to help us. Thank you. For sure we recommend him and we will book him again.”


“Niki has been so helpful with our dogs. One is elderly and has been watched by her many times. This recent trip was the first time we also left our 4 yr old lab for an extended amount of time. Niki took the time to make sure our lab got exercise and both of our girls were in great spirits on our return. Everything went great!!”


“Angela was great. Our pup was at the end of a medicine routine so we had to change our plans and reached out to Angela somewhat last minute. Luckily she was available and willing to not only check-in, feed, and walk our dog, but also gave her meds. She also helped with our cat, who usually doesn’t like strangers but warmed up to Angela. She provided great notes and photos. We would definitely work with Angela again.”


“Easily the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She’s so attentive to Nejis habits and needs. She cares for my dog like he’s her own, and I would recommend her to anyone! :)”


“Shyanne is so incredible, and I couldn't be happier that I found her! She took amazing care of my girl and gave the cutest updates and pictures. My cat loved her check-ins, and I was able to travel worry-free knowing she was in good hands. She was diligent about checking each time on recent health concerns. I also came back from.my trip to find that Shyanne had also taken the trash out. She definitely knows what she's doing when watching our most loved family member.”



“Elisa took care of my 2 old cats multiple days. She followed the instructions I left and went beyond that with extra effort. She reported through Rover each day she visited and included pictures. My cats seemed very happy with her and even let her pet them! I will definitely request Elise if we travel again.”



“Great experience! Our cat was happy, the house perfect and Alinda was so kind to help me out when I needed a little favor. If you are looking for someone she is a great choice. Next trip I’ll contact her again.”


“Caity did a wonderful job! She was on time and had wonderful communication. Our little puppy Teddy enjoyed playing with her and got all his wiggles out. 10 out of 10 recommend!”


“Vanessa was a wonderful drop-in sitter. She was very punctual and left detailed notes in her drop cards along with plenty of photos! I appreciated her attention to small details and how quickly my dog warmed up to her. I’ll definitely use her in the future!”


About: I am primarily on this app to be of service to our dog training clients when they go out of town. I am sometimes available to take other pets, but not always. I understand that each animal has their own personality and quirks. I am able to care for pets of any age. I have experience administering medications as well. I work full time at a dog training facility. I spend most of my free time taking care of animals. I am able to bring pups to work with me during the day, so I can potty and let them run around on my breaks throughout the day. I will either bring your pup to my house or go to yours! Whatever your preference is. I do have two dogs of my own, both are friendly to all different types of pets. We also have a cat, so my dogs know how to behave around them (not chasing, bothering, etc.) As I mentioned above, I work at a training facility and will be able to bring your pup to work with me instead of them being home alone during the day. I have lots of experience crate training dogs, and can help continue or start that training for you.

About: I was raised around pets my whole life. I currently love and care for my own two cats while assisting friends and family with their fur babies. I am comfortable walking, brushing, bathing, feeding, and cleaning up after dogs. I am a recent doctoral graduate and am hoping to fill some time caring for our four legged friends. I will be out of work for about two months, so I will be available most days and times unless I am out of town. I am clean, respectful, and safe especially in others’ homes. I will only enter areas of the home necessary for pet care and cleaning up after myself and pet if any messes are to be made!

“Audra was amazing! She came over beforehand to see where everything was and I felt super comfortable with her from the beginning. My cat is super scared of people and it usually takes him 5 times of meeting someone before he lefts them touch him, but he came out on the first day and was loving pets! Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve taken care of countless dogs and cats since childhood. I have the ability to pay attention to their individual needs and follow their routine precisely. I am currently a general manager at a brand new Nampa coffee sho!’ While I sling coffee, I’d love to take care of your animals! I live in an apartment with my fiancé and two cats. My oldest cat is a 3 year old orange and white cat named Chai. My youngest is Kona, 1 year old.

About: As a responsible medical student and dog mom to a high-energy, reactive Border Collie, I specialize in adapting walks and activities to meet training goals while ensuring safety and enrichment. Whether it’s a hike or a walk in the park, I provide loving, tailored care to keep your furry friend happy while you’re away, treating them like family every step of the way. I have expirence at admistrating medications, puppy care and balanced training. * I am a 3rd year medical student that goes into clinic and the hospital. Every 4 weeks my schedule changes. I also am not always able to come in the afternoon. If you have any questions about my current availability please message me* As a medical student, I thrive on maintaining a well-organized schedule, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize time management and have built flexibility into my day to accommodate walks, feeding, and playtime for pets. Caring for my high-energy Border Collie has taught me how to balance responsibilities while ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need. Whether it’s a morning walk before studying, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I’m committed to making pet care an integral part of my routine. In my clients’ homes, I respect their space and follow all instructions to maintain consistency for their pets. I adapt to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel secure while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, play, or administering medications, I handle every aspect of their care responsibly and lovingly.

About: My goal is to love on your pets so much that they won’t even notice you’re gone! :) You will be able to relax and enjoy your time away without worrying about your home or furry family members. I will send photos and keep you in the loop with any important updates. Your pets are safe and happy with me! :) My rates were determined by the quality of care I can provide. I have had animals since I was little. In 2023, my sweet 15 year old Labrador, Dora, flew to heaven, so now I have an empty nest and looking for new furry friends. I will care for your pet with love, compassion, and patience. I will also treat your house and neighborhood with utmost respect. The house will be left nice and clean, leaving you nothing to do but relax after your travels. I’m also happy to handle plant watering, mail, trash, keeping an eye out for packages, and picking up pet meds. I do have a part time job but the max amount of hours I am gone is 5-6hrs and not every day. When I am pet sitting, my schedule revolves around your pets. I’m here for you and available for dog walks or runs, adventures to a dog park, or drop-ins, and house-sitting. Just let me know what you prefer! In your home I will abide by the house and neighborhood rules and make sure the pets are happy and things are left clean and tidy.

“Shannon has walked and dog sat my 80 lb dog several times. My pup always loves seeing Shannon and gets visibly excited!
