Dog Sitting Star

About: Like many animal lovers, I raised cats and dogs the majority of my life. Even raised 9 pups from my own dog! I’d like to help take care of your pets with you. My previous work had me travel for 3 years so I understand how challenging it can be to have someone watch your pets. You wonder if they’ll be as nice, gentle, caring, and active as you are with them. (Or if your pet will pick them over you for being away so long!) I will be as, if not more, attentive to your pets while you are away. Like the title says - I’m a realtor! My schedule is open and most of my work can be done through my phone or laptop. I do go to the gym and can adjust my schedule to be morning or evening depending on your needs. Early start for my dogs! 5am walks to start their day along with clean bowls before every feeding! I use a filtered water system for them, but that’s also cleaned weekly. If your pets are like mine then all that hair is a bit messy. So, brushing is a must! They do like to get on the couch so vacuuming is a must too! No kennel for them. Just their own cots. As for bathing and grooming - as needed.

“Ellen did a wonderful job looking after our two kitties while we were away for 10 days - they both loved her! She also sent frequent updates with photos which made being away from them so much easier :) Thank you Ellen!”

“Kelci did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our home and all of our animals while we were away. We came back to a spotless house and happy, relaxed pets, which says everything about the care and attention she gives. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and responsible hands. She is dependable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend Kelci to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐕‍🦺🐈‍⬛🐈♥️”

“Traci did a great job with our pups. One can be very guarded with a new walker but Traci got her to loosen up. Traci is very reliable and was there everyday at the agreed upon time. Which is a wonderful attribute for a dog sitter/walker. Thank you Traci.”

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer. I LOVE dogs!! The more the better. :) I have a corgi named piggy and a miniature schnauzer mix named ducky at home. I live in a house in Meridian with a huge yard and a doggie door. The dogs are free to come in and out at will for potty and play! My dogs are very sweet and love to play with other dogs. I have a lot of experience on wag and Rover as a sitter and dog walker and pet border. I take my dogs all the time to the Meridian bark park Dog Park and that is an option for your dog as well if they get along well with others. Can’t wait to watch your fur baby! I work from home sometimes! My schedule is flexible. I can usually work with my client’s time schedule just fine. Just let me know what you need. I have cared for many pets and have many great reviews on Rover. You can trust that I care for any Rover pet as I would my own babies.

“Regan was a great sitter for my pup! She followed instructions and gave me consistent updates and photos while away on my trip. Great response time. She was extremely friendly and easy going and made my pup feel comfortable. 10/10 would recommend and hire again. Thank you so much Regan!!”

“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”

About: With years of experience in grooming, daycare, and pet sitting, I specialize in senior care, rescue dogs, and puppies. I’m confident with all temperaments, trained in medication administration, and known for providing calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I structure my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for. Whether it’s early morning feedings, mid-day walks, or evening cuddles, I prioritize consistency, comfort, and attention for every pet I look after. In your home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I keep things clean, stick to their comfort zones, and give lots of affection and attention so they feel secure and cared for.

“Kaity was fantastic and updated as agreed upon. I felt so relieved to leave my dog in her care. Thanks Kaity!”

About: Hi there! I'm Charley, I’ve recently moved to the Meridian/Boise area from Wyoming. I moved in with my sister who has 2 mini golden doodles who I love to take care of, take on walks, and also get pup-cups with. I grew up with a Rottweiler, beagle, and blue heeler, so I am definitely well rounded when it comes to taking care of different types of dogs. While in high school I talked my mom into letting me get my own dog with all of the included responsibility. One of my favorite parts of having a dog was teaching her all of the basic commands and tricks. I'm passionate about giving dogs the care and attention they need. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, I understand the importance of a well-taken care of and happy pup. Whether it's an overnight stay or a leisurely stroll, I'm here to ensure your furry friend has a great time while you’re away! I’m currently working Monday through Friday from around 8am-5pm with some days only working till noon. I have all nights off, so I will be able to care for the pets however they need. My weekends are usually pretty open with occasionally working some Sundays! I do not offer in home care for your pets at the moment. In clients homes, I will be able to care for your dog as much as he/she needs whether they need multiple walks, specific eating times, or medications.

About: I work from home so I can hangout with your dog and let them out throughout the day. I don’t have a backyard but go for lots of walks each day. There is a park a few minutes from me that has a great walking path. I also like to take dogs to the dog park and let them run around freely and meet new friends. The Greenbelt is a 5 minute walk and the foothills a 5 minute drive. I got a puppy, she’s now just over a year old. Her name is Eowyn and is a very energetic corgi. She loves dogs and people and wants to be the center of attention. Enoch, my corgi passed away a year ago. I raised him since he was 8 weeks old and trained him myself. Enoch traveled with me to 30 states and 6 Canadian provinces. I took Enoch with me everywhere I could. Everyone loved meeting Enoch and commented on his great temperament and how well trained he was. I miss Enoch everyday. I look forward to meeting your pup and spending time with them. I am back working in an office for now. I come home at lunch to pet and walk dogs. We go for several walks around the neighborhood each day. I do not have a fenced yard. So I will take your dog for walks around the neighborhood and to the parks. I am very dog friendly so they are allowed on the furniture and on my bed.

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm so I have always been surrounded by them. I currently have a spoiled pup named Whisper at home. I work nights regularly so I am available all day to care for your pets during their waking hours. My schedule makes it easy to accommodate drop-ins and potty breaks. Every pet and pet parent is different and I pride myself in accommodating any request you or your pet may need. I have taken care of elderly dogs that needed to be carried outside to potty and large dogs that needed to be snuggled during thunder storms. Every pet and family is unique. 😊

About: I recently graduated with my MBA and, while I figure out what comes next professionally, I’m currently home full time. That means I’m able to spend plenty of time with my dogs and any dogs staying with me rather than being gone at work all day. I’ve always had dogs in my life, starting when I was a child, and I truly cannot imagine my life without them. Everyone knows that person who walks into a room and says hello to the dogs before the people. That’s me. I’m absolutely that person. I currently have four dogs of my own, so dogs are a pretty big part of everyday life in our house. I have a Pomeranian, a Husky mix, and two Chocolate Labs. My dogs love other dogs, and having dogs ranging from a little Pom to large, energetic dogs has given me plenty of experience with different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. My Pom is 17 now and has definitely earned the right to take life at his own pace. These days, that often means being carried around by me rather than walking everywhere himself. He also has his own smaller fenced area within our large fenced yard so he can enjoy being outside without having to deal with the bouncing energy of the bigger dogs. If a visiting dog needs a little more peace and quiet outside, they are welcome to share his area too. Not every dog wants to be in the middle of the action all the time, and that’s perfectly fine here. For the dogs who DO want to be in the middle of the action, there is plenty of room in our large fenced yard to run, play, explore, or just hang out. And if your dog needs daily walks, I’m your girl! Mine insist on them, so walking is already part of my everyday routine. My Pom makes it about half a mile, my Husky gets around 2.5 miles, and my two Chocolate Labs need at least 3 miles. I walk all four separately, so everyone gets individual time and a walk that actually fits their needs. Adding another walk or two for a visiting dog is no problem, whether they need a long walk to burn off some energy or a short leisurely one to sniff everything along the way. Your dog will fit right in. Inside, there are dog beds and blankets throughout the house, although our dogs are also welcome to sleep with us. Basically, they sleep wherever they decide they are most comfortable. I want a dog staying with us to feel comfortable too, so I’m happy to follow what they are accustomed to at home as much as possible. I also take mealtimes seriously. Our Husky and Pomeranian eat separately, while our two Labs are comfortable eating together. Visiting dogs are typically fed separately from our dogs so everyone can relax and enjoy their meal without competition or unnecessary stress. Depending on the dog, that may be as simple as eating across the room or having a baby gate between them. I adjust based on the individual dogs involved because their comfort and safety matter more than having one rule that every dog has to follow. Some people might say my dogs are spoiled rotten. I prefer to say they are extremely well loved, and that is exactly how I treat the dogs who stay with me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, from seniors who prefer a quieter pace to younger dogs with energy to spare. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may need a little extra attention. Whether your dog is staying for daycare or boarding, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for them. When a dog stays with me, they aren’t treated like a guest I’m watching. They’re treated like part of the family until their family comes back to get them. I am currently home full time, so I have lots of time to spend with my dogs and yours! My life is sincerely built around the happiness and comfort of my babies, and yours when they are with me. Our days already include individual walks, outside time, playtime, meals, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of lounging and snuggles. Because I’m home, I also have the flexibility to adjust my routine to what your dog is used to. If they normally eat at a certain time, need multiple walks, take medication on a schedule, need more frequent potty breaks, or simply want someone nearby, I can accommodate that. Your dog doesn’t have to adjust to my schedule. As much as possible, I’ll adjust my schedule to theirs. We have a large, fully fenced yard with a smaller fenced area within it for little dogs or dogs who just want some peace and quiet. That way, if the big dogs are running around playing and being their usual goofy selves, the smaller or less energetic dogs don’t have to worry about getting run over! Visiting dogs are welcome to use whichever area makes them most comfortable. We also have multiple dog doors, so dogs can come and go as they need or want rather than having to wait for someone to let them outside. Since I’m home full time, I’m here to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day. I pay attention to each dog and what makes them comfortable. Dogs can be together when they enjoy each other’s company, but I also have plenty of space to separate them when someone needs a break. Meals are typically separated as well, either with physical space or a baby gate, so everyone can eat comfortably and safely without worrying about another dog getting into their food. My own dogs range from a 17 year old Pomeranian to a Husky mix and two Chocolate Labs, so I’m very accustomed to managing different sizes, ages, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I don’t expect every dog to behave or interact the same way. I’d rather adjust the environment to the dog and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules. My goal is to keep things as familiar as possible for your dog while you’re away, because sometimes the best way to help them feel safe is simply to keep their world as normal as possible.

About: I've had animals all my life. Everything from dogs and cats to reptiles and small animals. I've been house sitting for friends and co workers for almost 20 years. I'm a part time actress, so while my schedule does vary, I typically have a lot of time at home between gigs! I can spend a lot of time with your fur babies! I am comfortable with whatever level of care you need for your fur babies! If you need me to be there for the majority of the day, I can adjust accordingly.

About: I love them all...big ones, little ones, young ones, old ones, sweet ones and even cranky ones! I've been a veterinarian for over 30 years so I guess you could say that pets are my life. Due to my training, I can deal with any condition your pet may have...administering meds, giving injections, and dealing with handicapped pets. I'm able to watch for any issues that might arise in your pet while you're away and get them addressed as needed so that you have %100 confidence that your pet (s) will be in excellent hands while you're away. I love to walk so your baby will get lots of exercise and, of course, they will all get lots of play and cuddles. I'm more or less retired (I work one day a week) so am able to do twice daily visits or walks as needed. For pets boarding with me, I'm home all day with them giving them lots of attention and love. Pets in our home will be treated like my own babies. They will get plenty of attention and twice daily walks (if wanted) as we live right next to the Boise greenbelt. They will be fed and medicated exactly as instructed and get plenty of snuggles and play time!

“She did an extremely awesome job. Got updates daily on how Miss Buddy was doing. I would 100% use Shaina and recommend her to friends and family.”

“We didn’t get as many communications/pictures/check ins as we usually get but our cats were happy and healthy when we got home.”
