“Eliza was so great with Ollie! She even had something come up before our booking and she let us know in advance and we were able to work around it easily. She kept us updated throughout our trip and made sure Ollie was well taken care of! Very easy to work with and met our expectations!”


“Rae and Trynn gave us daily updates and pictures of our pets while we were gone on vacation. They let us know when they would be at our place with the dogs and they were excellent communicating with us. We highly recommend Rae and Trynn, we will be using them for future care!”


“John did a wonderful job watching Lily on incredibly short notice. We had one day to find and book a sitter and are so grateful John was available! Our dog is admittedly the dog version of a cat and incredibly suspicious of all strangers. He took that as a personal challenge and did his best to win her over! He kept a great eye on our house, even noticing the little notification our "smart" thermostat threw out. Lily was happy and healthy when we returned and our house was cleaner than how we left it! Highly recommend John, and would not hesitate to hire him again!”


“Abby has stayed at our home to take care of our anxious dog Zoe twice now and both times went smoothly. Our dog does not like other dogs and we have some specific routines we follow to ensure we avoid encounters with other dogs and Abby is good about respecting that info and making sure Zoe is as comfortable as possible. She sent plenty of pics and updates so we knew Zoe was being well taken care of, and she went above and beyond a few times cleaning up some messes (vomit) our cats made on our bed. Our cats have automatic feeders and a water fountain and often avoid unfamiliar people so we never expect sitters to do much for them, but Abby took the time to check on them often and wash some bedding the cats puked on which was an unexpected courtesy. After each visit the house was probably cleaner than it was when we left it too. My wife and I somehow have way too much going on this summer and won't hesitate to reach out to Abby whenever we are looking for someone to watch Zoe while we're gone.”


“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took care of our pups, JJ and Lulu, for four days and went above and beyond. She played with them, took them on regular walks, and gave them so much love and attention. It was such a relief knowing they were in such great hands while we were away. JJ and Lulu absolutely adored her — we know they’re going to miss her! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”


About: Happy pets, happy life! I offer a loving home, fun playtime, and walks in Idaho Falls and the surrounding areas. I’ve taken care of many different pets of all shapes, sizes, ages and temperaments. As a pet mom myself I understand the importance and worry of leaving my fur baby behind while I’m away. I will always send extra pictures and take extra precautions and time to make sure your fur babies feel safe and loved while you’re away! I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment, ensuring they get plenty of attention and enrichment. With a few years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I'm dedicated to giving your pets the best possible care while you're away. Let's chat about how I can make your pet's stay a happy one! I work at the airport part time, but the hours differ. I am available most of the time, and if I’m at work I can still stop by after work or on my breaks or stay overnight to take care of the pet(s). Same goes if they’re boarding at my house, they will be well taken care of. I care for my own cat as if she is my child. All the pets I watch (including my own) get fed right on time on schedule, I give them extra attention and pets, if they like toys I make sure to spend a while playing with them to make sure they don’t get bored and they stay happy and entertained!

“Isabelle took excellent care of our two dogs, two cats, and plants while we were away. My husband’s flight home hit a major delay, and thank goodness, she was able to stay a bit longer with our babies. The pups enjoyed their daily walks, and plenty of playtime outside. She even helped get one of our dogs to his weekly daycare session! ❤️”


About: With over 7 years of hands on experience caring for animals, I bring more than just love for pets I bring dependable, knowledgeable care. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pets who need a gentler touch and extra patience. I’m confident with crate training, leash training, administering medications, and adjusting routines for dogs with special needs or anxiety. I treat every pet like they’re my own making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. Whether it’s going the extra mile on a walk, sticking to your pet’s specific routine, or giving lots of one on one attention, I tailor my care to what your pet needs most. Reliability, clear communication, and a genuine passion for animals are what my clients love most about working with me! Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for whether that means early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles and playtime. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day, not just squeeze it in. Because I truly enjoy spending time with animals, I prioritize giving them attention, exercise, and structure. Whether I’m doing drop ins, walks, or overnight stays, I’m fully present and focused on making sure each pet feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment where routines are followed closely to reduce stress and keep things familiar. In my home, I provide plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and safe spaces where pets can relax. I keep a close eye on behavior, always ensuring everyone gets along and feels secure. In a client’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect and make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine including feeding schedules, walk times, and preferred sleeping arrangements. I send regular updates, photos, and notes, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Every pet is different, so I adapt my care to match their personality, energy level, and special needs whether that’s extra snuggles, a slower pace for senior dogs, or more active playtime for energetic pups.

About: I’ve loved animals all my life and have added several dogs and cats to our family over the years. I also love taking walks and caring for others! My furry family currently consists of a calico cat named TigerKitty (14) and a Karakachan/Heeler mix, Dixie (7). All of our furry family have been rescues. They are all still energetic, super friendly, and love to have visitors, play dates, walks and long naps! They enjoy playing with younger dogs and relaxing with older dogs. I currently work full time. I love to stay busy playing and getting movement during breaks and after work. Caring for your dog would make my day! It’s my goal to love on your furry family while you are away, making sure they have a good experience and feel safe and sound.

“Carlee truly cares about pets and their people. She is flexible, responsive and so attentive to my Rottie princess who suffers from separation anxiety and who was severely sickened at a boarding facility. This boarding incident threatened my dog's life and was costly to address with hospital and vet costs. We will no longer consider any other pet sitting solution other than someone like Carlee to care for our girl.”


“Wendee did a great job with our 3 dogs & a cat over Christmas. She had to get them through severe weather for 2 days & they were as happy as could be when we returned. She communicated well with me & we hope to use her again.”

Jessiny H.
“Jessiny Howard has cared for animals since she was a little girl. When the family calico would have batches of kittens every spring and fall, the neighbors would all ask for a kitten because Jessiny spent so much time with them that they were very well trained. Growing up she cared for dogs, cats, chickens, and little lambs. She raised lambs every fall, doctoring them when they were sick and making sure all their needs were met, and she even sang to them. She was responsible for all of their care. They would follow her around the yard. As an adult she still loves animals of all kinds. She trained her own dogs incredibly well, creating healthy meals and treats and even special healthy dog birthday “cakes”. She is gentle, kind, and very intentional in her care of all animals. She has walked hundreds of miles with her own dogs, making sure they got exercise and social stimulus at dog parks and trails. A person can be 100% confident that Jessiny Howard will take excellent care of their pets.”
