Dog Sitting in Palmer

About: I was raised by a shelter worker and started care and training at a very young age for all types of animals and spent much of my life in the shelter or fostering animals for their new lives to come, because they deserve happiness. Social, behavioral, hand signals you name it. It’s been an enormous part of all of my life. They are not just pets, they are FAMILY! I’m extremely flexible for any schedule and will ensure that your dog has company/companionship at all times and is well looked after while also giving them exercise and/or stimulation I come with a ADA companion who is very dog friendly, well mannered and behaved (and deaf). I can leave her home when needed, but she LOVES friends and the outdoors. Along with my extensive background with training, I’m also EXTREMELY hyper-vigilant to dog’s emotions and needs. Having a deafie has only heightened the awareness that I already possessed to ensure safety at all times while still enjoying the life of a dog.

“I last minute booked and was able to leave within the hour of the request. I left the house a mess and came back to the house being slick and span. I absolutely adore Heaven! She is the only sitter we use!”

“Sarah took excellent care of my cat. Updates were clear and reassuring, and she handled a pivot in instructions with grace. Would be happy to enlist her services again.”

“Kaitlyn has been very good with our puppy, letting her outside to go to the bathroom and then play with her and reward for positive behavior (her experience as a dog trainer and vet tech is a bonus!) She updates us at each visit with pictures of our puppy and gives updates on how the drop in visits went. The only reason for 4/5 stars was because there was a scheduling issue where she forgot to cancel with us on a day she wasnt able to make it last minute and the puppy went longer than usual without a potty break (although ended being fine once we got home). However, she was very apologetic about her mistake, promised to not have it happen again, and offered a discount on some of the future visits to remedy her mistake. I appreciate that she took responsibility and sought to correct it the best she could. She has been faithful on all the other visits so far, responds quickly to messages, is polite and professional and I understand that mistakes can happen on occasion so I have continued to use her and would recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve had cats most of my life but have also had dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs! Spiders are the only pets I can’t handle. I’m currently unemployed and haven’t been able to find full time work due to the bus driver strike. So, Monday-Friday I take my high schooler to and from school and am free to take care of people’s fur babies all day and night! I love animals and treat them as my fur babies! I spoil them with attention and make sure they are well taken care of and happy!

“Megan was super great - she came by my house twice a day every day I was away and took great care of my dog! I will always contact Megan first! She is super helpful and responsible!”

Kathey V.

“Katie is such a treasure! She took incredibly good care of my pups, sharing pics and observations of them the whole time I was away. Even went above and beyond and made an extra visit when my flight home was delayed. So glad she’s joined us here in the Wood River Valley!”

Meghan F.

“Benjamin was great! He was very accommodating to my last minute drop in request. He was receptive to my cats’ care needs. Would definitely recommend”

Hanna S.

“J was great and I felt I could trust her with my girl and really appreciated the communication and photos”

Katie S.

“Melissa was an absolute sweetheart! She came to meet our 2 kitties and did a short walkthrough of our house before we left. During her visits I got pictures of my cats and little updates everyday. I was very comfortable with having her watching over our cats, it felt nice not having to worry about them! If I need to, I’d definitely hire Melissa again, and I recommend you do the same!”

About: Coming from rural Minnesota, I've been raising animals for as long as I can remember. I take pride in having the honor of caring for fur babies and treat every animal as my own. I work Monday through Friday from 9-5, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings and fully available on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you're away! I have a large fenced backyard and 3 dogs of Mt own who love having new playmates. I live right on a trail that surrounds a nearby park so walking and exercise is a breeze!

“Benita was a great communicator and sent the funniest videos. She made sure to complete all of the pet tasks asked of her. My cats were well taken care of and I would definitely use Benita again.”

About: I am mostly experienced with cats, but I have been around dogs for years in care or for fun, just never having direct ownership of a dog. Willing to try it out! I am more than happy to watch over a pet overnight or during the day, including pet care, watering and feedings. I am also capable of walks. In my own personal care, I have raised or adopted several cats including doctors appointments, cleaning, etc. Of other clients pets I have taken care of more or less the same, all satisfied in their pets care.

About: Adult human with many years of pet-owning and pet-sitting experience. Have hosted 15 foster dogs and puppies in past 2 years, setting them up for success with regular exercise and clear and consistent rules. I have a good set-up for hosting both dogs and cats responsibly. Please contact with any questions. I am a stay-at-home supportive spouse, meaning I am available to treat your pets like I treat my own. My pets are spoiled. And well-behaved. For dogs - have a fenced-in yard for safe pottying. I have a friendly adult female dog - spayed, and two well-behaved cats. I have local trails available where I exercise my own dog. I can provide a crate, if desired - I do request that your dog be crate-trained and I cannot accommodate a dog with a heavy prey-drive. For cats, I have an unused bedroom set up as a private suite, that my own pets do not have access to. This room has a window and plenty of cat napping options. I live on a quiet street. I am available to give your cat as much attention as they desire.

“Jamie was great. She came by before we left to learn where everything was and sent updates while we were gone with cute pictures. Will be using her next time I travel for sure!”

“Ashley was very sweet and took great care of our dogs. She did everything we asked and was always on time. Your animals will be in great hands if you use her. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.

About: I have been caring for pets for my entire life. Knowing that your baby is as important to you as mine is to me, I will care for your furry friend as I would hope someone would care for my own baby. I’m looking to build my care community and availability so I will be able to help when needed. Currently Saturday and Sunday are fully available. Monday-Friday is mostly open with a few instances where I don’t have flexibility. I will care for your fluffy friends either at your home if that is your preference, or I can offer short term stays at my home. My preference is to keep animals where they are most comfortable.
