6. Alexiana L.
About: My family has owned pets for as long as I can remember. I have recently graduated from BYU Idaho with a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science. My goal is to become a veterinarian. Currently searching for a part time job, so I have lots of time to care for pets. When I'm gaining clinic experience, I am free in the evening, and any other day I'm available all day. I love playing with animals until they fall over panting, or snuggling up together. I stick to feeding schedules, provide clean water, and clean up messes.

9. Taylor M.
“Taylor had watched my dogs multiple times and is the best w them. She gives them the play time they need and loves to take them on walks. She has helped me out tons in the past and is such a responsible person. You can always count on her for sure!”
10. Micah R.
“Micah has several years of experience giving pet care. She's knowledgeable about dog-training, animal anxiety, and how to deal with troublesome behaviors. Micah's great with our dog, Teddy, and is able to get him to "come" when sometimes no one else can. She's trained Teddy to do several tricks, and especially shines with consistency, understanding how dogs think, and maintaining expectations. She's gentle and a lot of fun while playing with animals, taking them on walks, and even patient while giving bathes. An excellent sitter!”
11. Jordan K.
“Jordan looked after my two cats while I was gone for vacation. I asked for daily updates/check-ins to make sure they were doing well. Appreciative of his diligence and care.”
12. Shelby S.
“Shelby has watched our dog numerous times in the last nine years. Our dog, Kady, always has a great time, is well cared for and spoiled during every stay. She sends me pictures of her and Kady or a picture of something silly Kady has done. Shelby truly loves ALL dogs and they love her right back. Dogs are drawn to her. She is gentle but firm and is so sweet natured. I trust her completely with our furbaby.”
13. Amanda J.
“Amanda was incredible. My puppies were happy and she sent multiple pictures. Most of all I trusted her in my home. I would rebook her over and over again!”
14. Qiara M.
“Qiara was fantastic!! Lots of pictures and daily updates. My dogs fell in love with her. They are mopping around today I believe because they miss her?. We could enjoy our Holiday because she was in our home and with our pups. The house was left perfect. I will use her again when we need a sitter. I’m thrilled to have found her??”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with both dogs and cats as part of my family. Dogs, with their boundless energy, loyalty, and affectionate nature, have always brought so much joy into my life. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for multiple dogs over the years, from playful puppies to older dogs needing a bit more attention. Each one had a unique personality, and I loved every moment of walks, playtime, and those quiet times when they just wanted to be close. On the cat side, I currently have two, Bobby and Binx, who keep me on my toes with their quirky antics. I’ve also nursed an elderly cat back to health, gaining experience in administering medications and providing the extra care cats need as they age. Whether it’s caring for my own pets or helping out by pet sitting for friends and neighbors, I’m passionate about making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Dogs with their exuberance and cats with their calming presence each bring something special, and I find joy in caring for both, offering them love, play, and comfort in whatever way they need. I currently work and am going to school to be a Social Work. But I love and highly want to have animals in my life! This is something that I want to do on the side. When I pet sit, I always make sure the animals feel comfortable and secure in their own home, sticking to their usual routines to minimize any stress. I’m mindful of their habits, from feeding times to their favorite spots for naps, and I give them plenty of attention and affection so they feel at ease while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, giving them medication, or just keeping them company, I aim to create a calm, happy environment. For dogs, I love taking them on walks that match their energy level, whether they need a leisurely stroll or a more playful walk. I focus on making walks enjoyable, letting them explore and take in their surroundings while making sure they get the exercise they need. I’m always aware of their safety, avoiding any risky situations and keeping a close eye on them. My goal is to give every pet, whether a dog or cat, the love and care they deserve, making sure they’re happy and healthy when their owners return.
16. Tanner S.
“10/10 would recommend! Tanner is an excellent pet provider, he has years of experience with cats in particular. He can feed, brush, give water, play with, fix the litter box for cats. He will treat cats very well and make sure their basic needs are met and he loves it when cats are cuddly and warm up to him. He does very well with cats of high energy but any kind of cat personality is fine with him. Tanner is a great cat caretaker!”

I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care and love on your pets! I’m here for you and your pets!

18. Nicole B.
About: I have taken care of many different types of dog over the years, I have only started to do professional pet care this year. I love all sort of animals. I am currently A college student. When doing overnight stays I will typically stay in your home with your pet from 7:30pm-6:00am for overnight any night! All hours can be spoken about if you and your pet need something different. I have a rule that if any animal needs to go outside at anytime that I will be outside right with them. This is for your animals safety. I keep a watchful eye over playful puppies to make sure no one gets hurt.
19. Maria O.
“She is AMAZING!! She has many animals of her own and she loves them just like they're her own kids ❤️ I talk with her everyday and see her feed her animals, love them and take care of them and always see if they need to go potty or if they just want some extra attention ❤️ she takes her dog on walks every single day as well! Sometimes multiple times a day, because her dog loves to go on walks. Sometimes she will go on nature trails and walk around with her dog. She always makes sure to bring some water and some food along with her, just in case her dog gets hungry or thirsty! She's so sweet and loving with all of her furbabies. If I had an animal of my own, I would definitely trust her to watch my furbaby ❤️ She's even given me tips and tricks about animals, so that in the future, I know how to better take care of a pet! I really want to get a cat, and she told me some good ways to be able to trim their nails if they can't file down their nails by themselves! And how to befriend a really shy cat, that needs love and patience, before it will learn to trust me and be okay with my presence. The cat that I REALLY want to get, is very shy. The cats previous owner, had passed away due to old age. And the cat itself, is 10 years old. She told me that sometimes treats help lure out shy kitties, and just to be very patient with them! She also taught me the trick on how you can make a cat feel safe! Ever heard of the tooth brush method? You take a tooth brush, one that you will obviously not use yourself, and wet it under some water. Shake off a little water and find your kitty. When they're laying down and not being so active, you can softly brush their face, head and body with the wetted tooth brush. It's adorable, because it will remind them of their birth mother, cleaning them at an early age! It mimics the feeling of getting cleaned and I had no idea! That's also another way to slowly get a cat comfortable with you, if you can get that close to it! She has a lot of tips and tricks that I've learned over the years of knowing her. You can not find a better person to trust being careful, safe, loving and responsible pet caregiver!”
20. Gracie K.
“Gracie is Amazing with animals! She goes above and beyond to make sure they get the attention they need so I can feel at ease when I leave my babies. She followed all instructions we had and updated me regularly. It is so hard to leave my fur babies but It is so nice to know that they will be well taken care of and loved while I am gone. I would 10/10 recommend her to watch your pets. She is amazing!”
