Dog Walking Quail Ridge

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs as long as I can remember. My family has always owned pets! I am not a stranger to pet sitting for family or friends and I love it! I do not start my full time job until late September so I am free whenever needed! I understand how difficult it can be to schedule vacations with pets so I am here to help! :) I am not able to board pets. I can provide all the attention pets need! I can take them for long walks (Or short ones if little legs are a part of the equation!), play with your pet in your yard, ensure pets are receiving their meals on time, and help your pets feel less lonely whenever families are gone!

About: Ive been a full time dog mom for 13 years. I’ve recently let go of my senior dog and would love to pour that love into your pup! I have experience with medically complex dogs, so I’m happy to dispense medications or give some extra TLC to dogs that need it! I have an open and flexible schedule! I’m available for dog walking mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I also have an open schedule for dog sitting in your home. I’m a very attentive pet sitter. If you’d like me to go over some basic training and commands with your dog, I’m happy to do that as well. I’ll give you pet all the love they can tolerate, but will also give them space if that’s what they prefer. I’m so excited to meet and spend some quality time with your little critter!

“Hatcher did a great job with my Alfie! He walked him around the neighborhood while I was at work, and he sent me several pictures of him, which really made my day! He was highly communicative throughout the whole process, which I really appreciated.”

“Karin is awesome! She is super responsive extremely kind and my pup Milo LOVES her! I’d recommend anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter to work with her! Beyond impressed.”

About: I grew up in a small town where neighbors regularly relied on one another for help with their pets during vacations and long trips. Because of that, I gained early, hands‑on experience caring for animals during extended stays and learned how to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and at home. Whether your pet prefers to run and play or relax with cuddles I will adapt to their needs. I am currently a full-time student at Boise State University majoring in Diagnostic Radiology. I have summer clinicals W-F generally between 8-6 pm. I am more than happy to do early morning and evening care on clinical days. Unfortunately due to my changing schedule I cannot book weekly visits. I will ensure your pup feels right at home. If they have specific routines that make them feel more comfortable let me know, I am more than happy to learn!

“Our dog,Buster, loved Jolynne! She was very patient with him when he wasn’t sure about going out in the rain. Today he was waiting at the door for her even though I home ! I will definitely use her again!”

“Kellan came to take Kiyomi for a long 2 mile walk yesterday. Our female American Akita has fallen in love with Kellan. She is normally very guarded, protective of us. But has warmed up to Kellan so quickly. We are so happy of this considering he will be staying with her in our home soon. What a Blessing Kellan has become, he is so personable, interested in our needs. A+ all the way!”

“Katherine is great my dog loves seeing her and going on walks with her daily.”

About: Hello my name is Kaitlin and I am a wife and registered nurse looking to enrich my life and make extra income by taking care of your dogs! I am experienced with all breeds large and small, I have a house with a large fenced in yard. I have dog sat for neighbors as they traveled and am home most days. I walk or run 2-3 miles a day and would love to have a furry friend to join me. I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help you out and work with you to create a schedule you are happy with. I live with my Husband who is a veteran. We have two fur babies of our own. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs, and answer any questions you may have! I am available most days to walk dogs and check on them throughout the day in their own home. I do have two dogs of my own so I won’t be able to board in my home. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs and would love to have an animal sanctuary one day.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always been around them! My dad does rover and I have helped him take them on walks, and fed them. I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am home most days with the occasional errand run. I love to workout as well so walking or running with the dogs would be great! I will give the pups plenty of attention and care that they need. I will also be flexible with the owners needs for their pet.

“Thanks so much!”

About: We’ve had pets our whole life! From pugs to English mastiffs…we love all dogs big and small, and would enjoy to help you out with yours(: I work during the week and live with my partner who is also a huge dog lover. He works everyday from home making it extremely easy to fit a dog into our schedule and providing your pet with constant care. I am an extremely active person who can take your dog walking, running and any other activities they enjoy! I also have a big car that doesn’t mind transporting dogs places.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, of many different breeds ranging from chihuahua to Great Danes. I love taking my own dog, that I've had since March 2021, to the dog park everyday. I love dogs, they bring me so much joy. I want to give them as much joy as they give to me. I currently work Tues-Thursday 7-3 and Fridays 8-3 and sometimes Mondays 8-3, I live 5 minutes from my job. Getting off at 3 gives me more time to play with dogs and give them all the attention!! I have a balacony on the 2nd floor. I have a fur baby of my own that would gladly play with your fur baby. I have a large dog cage that I could use for your fur baby if need be. Plenty of toys and treats. Only a short drive to the dog park. If in need of separation of my dog and your dog, that is completely doable. I would, of course, like to do a behavior test between the two dogs to make sure they would get along. Your pet might often meet my boyfriend’s dog who is also a huskey!

About: I work from home, and am able to provide lots of love and attention to your pup! I live in a single family home with a fully fenced yard. Our small poodle mix loves to socialize and play with other dogs. I work from home, so I’m always home! I have availability for multiple daily walks and playtime. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times. I have a fully fenced back yard. There is also a large park to walk in (leashed) in my neighborhood. I can meet any feeding needs or special instructions.

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: I have 4 years of official pet care work experience, and a life long passion for animal care. I'm employed as a lead Canine Coach at a dog daycare in Garden City, volunteered at one of Costa Ricas largest animal rescues, and am pursuing a degree in animal science. I've worked with a variety of dogs with different personalities, impairments, sizes, puppies to seniors, and play tendencies. Although my official experience is with dogs and farm animals, I have a love for cats as well and I am excited to gain more experience! I work 4 days a week Thursday-Sun. No work Mon-Wed. I'm available any night of the week for house sitting. For supervision,potty, play, and walks I'm available anytime Mon-Wed, AFTER 2 PM Thurs, and Fri, and after 6 PM Sat+Sun Communication with pet parents is very important, I'll keep an open line of check ins with photos and behavior updates! As I'm only available for sitting in clients homes, I will make sure to take care of not only your fur babies, but your home! I'm adaptable to any special needs for pets AND their parents. Your pets' safety and happiness is top priority.

“Wendy takes such great care of Rosie - she gave me some info about Rosie from this last walk Wendy knew was important to me. I'm thrilled to have someone who cares about my pupper walking her!”

About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. When I was a kid I used to be told not to pet certain animals because they were deemed “unfriendly”, most of them time people were shocked when their animal would warm up to me after making such a statement. Animals are much more intelligent and empathetic than some people give them credit for. Give me a choice between a room full of humans or a room full of animals, and I’ll take the room full of animals every time. I started pet setting when I was 12 and I’ve been doing it on and off ever since. I used to have a dog, sadly he passed from heart failure and I’ve just barely gotten to the point where I’m thinking about getting another. I miss his energy and miss taking him on hikes and long walks. Getting up early is not a problem for me. I live right by the greenbelt so we will be going on lots of walks! At the moment my schedule is very open. I have 2 cats who love dogs, but I know not all dogs love cats. I am more than willing to come over and dog sit and even bring you pup In during the times I’m there as long as your pup likes cats, otherwise me walking your pup and boarding at your house would be better suited for all parties involved.
