“Sara was exceptional in caring for my two whippets during my ski trip to Bogus. She arrived right on time for their dinner, followed all instructions perfectly, and provided detailed updates throughout her visit. Her genuine care for my dogs and professionalism make her my go-to pet sitter. Highly recommended!”


“Phedre is amazing! She cares for your animals like they were her own. She stays in contact with you with constant updates on how they are doing and is very prompt with all visits! I will be going through her every time I leave town in the future and I highly recommend her for your pets!”


“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!!”

About: Hi, I'm Amy! I am a passionate animal lovers and welcome the opportunity to care for your beloved pets. With over 25 years of experience nurturing dogs, cats, bunnies, and fish, I understand that each animal is unique and requires personalized attention. I offer a safe and stimulating environment, including a fully fenced yard and convenient access to two nearby dog parks. Your furry friend will be welcomed as part of our family, which currently includes our two friendly black labs and a cat. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet's routine. I know how important it is to find trustworthy care for your pets while you're away, and I'm committed to providing reliable and attentive service. I am excited to meet your pet! Please reach out to discuss your pet's specific needs. Because I work from home 3 days a week, I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your pet's routine. I am an early riser due to my puppy alarm clock and can start the day as early as 5am. Reach out with your specific needs as I am flexible. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, I can easily crate your dog if needed. Lots of outdoor play time, and some downtime as well. I won't be kenneling or leaving anyone unattended while they stay with me. Dogs will be treated like our family.

“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.”



“Nugget was very well taken care of during our holiday vacation. Alinda sent multiple pictures from every visit, showed up on a regular schedule exactly as expected and stayed the full visit time to give Nugget plenty of attention in addition to the feeding and litterbox chores.”


“Kelci took immaculate care of my fur babies! One is sweet, but rather large and she interacted with him beautifully. ( a lot of people are afraid of large dogs). She was prompt and communicative. I highly recommend her!”


“Stephanie has been more than I can ask for in taking care of my cat! She is reliable and punctual and I know my pet is in great hands when I’m gone! Highly recommend!”


“This is our first time hiring Crystal. Feeding our cats is kind of crazy/complicated. However Crystal did a great job with that and everything else. Sent texts and pics each day. We will definitely hire her in the future.”

About: My name is Kalin and I just moved to Boise from Marquette, MI this month. I've lived with dogs my whole life up until this move. Not currently having a dog has been strange and I would love to be around them more! Before I moved, I spent years as a volunteer at a local shelter where I would hike the shelter dogs (with varying degrees of leash manners) to get them out and about. I also socialized puppies and fostered dogs that were long-time shelter residents, dogs that were unable to be adopted out at the time and dogs that had physical/behavioral challenges. I’ve owned both senior dogs and puppies and I love ALL dog breeds. (: I’m taking a bit of time off from work to get settled in as I just moved to Boise - so I have plenty of free time. I plan on returning to school in the Spring of next year for nursing and will continue to walk dogs then, but will have more of a schedule to adhere to. I love being active and would love to have a dog pal to bring with me on walks. I'll happily provide your fur baby with love and attention while you're away so that you can have some peace of mind. I know leaving pets behind can be stressful and you can rest assured they'll be safe and cared for with me. I'll follow any specific instructions left for me and I'm sure to always have dogs in an enclosed area or on a leash. I've owned some pretty high-maintenance and high energy dogs in the past that I've been nervous to leave with dog-sitters. I understand wanting them to be taken care of and comfortable and I would absolutely provide that for them and you. I'm also very self-sufficient, detail oriented and clean. I know your home is your space and will respect it as I would like my home to be respected.

“Veronica took fantastic care of our pups. She was very responsive to messages and went above and beyond to give peace of mind while we were away. Will definitely book with her again.”


About: My first ever job was at 10 years old as the neighborhood dog walker. I have been a huge animal lover since I was born and am regularly recruited to watch and care for my friend’s and family’s pets. I have experience with animals big and small, young and old. I currently volunteer and foster with the Idaho Humane Society. I can confidently administer meds orally, have been trained to administer subcutaneous fluids, and can give injections. I feel such a special connection to animals and am excited to treat your beloved pet like my own. I work full time as a microbiologist at the ISDA. The good news is, my schedule is very regular. My hours are from 8:30am-5:00pm. Depending on distance, I am able to take lunch in the afternoon for drop-ins. I have a completely fenced back yard with a 6-foot fence. Camo, my dog, cat, and critter friendly dog is my trusty sidekick. I also have 3 ferrets who will not ever meet your pet, but will provide moral support from a safe distance :).

About: I am very active. I like to play and move. If your pet needs energy used I would love to find out how long they go. Outside of this play style my family and I have an elderly cat that we do special care for. For example, special treats, water treatment, food, and toys. The cat we have is given special treats that help joints and hips. We use special food to help digestion. We give massages to her variously throughout the day/week more so when needed. I am the go to pet sitter for many of our family friends. I frequently play and visit with their pets. I am cautious on opening the door being aware of what may be near the other side to get out. Moving my way in to the house I will call the pet by name if they’re not by the door to give them affection. If they don’t come by the door I will go search for them to make sure they are okay and greet them in their area if they seem to be comfortable for a greeting.

She has fostered multiple hard-to-adopt dogs from a no-kill shelter, volunteered her time to provide weekly hikes/play time for dogs remaining in that same shelter, and to be an administrator on a local Lost & Found Pets Facebook page. The shelter found her to be a person that easily made connections with dogs that were difficult to socialize. She has a natural ability with pets and she is dedicated to giving them the best time, best day, best life they deserve.”

I’ve seen her foster and adopt, heal and nourish, love and be loved by so many lucky furry friends. She’s experienced with medical care and general health of animals— and many different kinds at that. She should be your go-to for pet care of any kind.”


Xavier F.
“Xavier was amazing with my dog! My dog had ACL surgery last November and needed extra care, care that I couldn’t provide alone due to work. Xavier stepped up and did everything and anything he could for my big guy. He was willing to lay with him by his crate to prevent him from moving around to much and feeling lonely, brought his food and water to his crate and helped him get comfortable enough to eat, he took him out and helped him around the yard so he could use the bathroom. He was a savior when it came to getting my dog healthy, and when he was healthier enough to walk Xavier was willing to help take him for little walks to start helping his surgery leg recovery and helped give my guy stretches. Xavier is willing to step up however needed and without a doubt cares about the dogs he is trusted with.”
