1. Megan I.
“I am impressed with Megan’s service. I purchased the one-hour visit for two cats while I was away. Megan not only fed and played with the cats, but I can tell she cleaned up after them as well. Megan provided photos with each check-in and I found her to be reliable and trustworthy.”
2. Autumn F.

“Alejandra is super reliable and took great care of our kitty. She sent us lots of pictures, and consistently checked in at around the same times so we knew when to expect her, giving us additional peace of mind. Would definitely trust Alejandra with our kitty again!”
5. Megan T.
“Megan did a great job with my pup, Louie! He liked her from the minute that she walked in for the meet and greet and that's not always easy! Megan was incredibly easy to work with and super responsive. She was even easy going when the key I gave her gave her a hard time. I really appreciated that she kept in touch throughout her time with Louie too. Great experience!”
6. Carly N.
About: My name is Carly and I have been caring for pets since I was 8. I specialize in rescue dogs and have no problem caring for dogs with PTSD or anxiety. I am well versed in all behaviors and am confident in my ability to care for pets from all kinds of backgrounds. I have had over 10 pets of all different species and care needs, and I have been pet sitting for over 4 years. I also have volunteered at Zoo Boise, so I am aware of the care needed for exotic pets. I am all about giving your pet everything it needs, no matter how high or low maintenance they are. I work part-time and my schedule changes weekly, so you will need to be willing to work with me on that. I would love to communicate with you about what schedule works best for us both. I am all about respect between me and pets. When stepping into another person's home, I allow the pet to get to know me before going farther into the home. I want the pet to know that I respect their space, and I want them to respect my presence in their home. I don't go near a pet who doesn't want to be touched, and I allow the pet to warm up to me, especially those who are very anxious or have PTSD. I can adjust to any training styles and adapt to whatever you need. I am comfortable with all types of animal behavior, even when they poop, pee, or throw up in the house. I am experienced in picking up animal messes, as I have two dogs myself.
7. Kelly J.
About: I currently have a German Shepherd/ Husky named Echo and a cat named Stella at home. I have always grown up with animals and taken care of dogs, cats, and even snakes. I work remote so I can work anywhere which makes my schedule pretty open. I usually work Monday through Friday 8 hours a day, normally 11:30 to 8pm. For my own pets I take my dog to the park, dog park, the creek, and anywhere that I can really. I am okay with walking the dogs, playing with the dogs, staying with them if needed, changing litter, and taking care of them like they are my own.
8. Hannah T.
“Hannah is a great dog sitter. I trust her with with all of my pets. She is patient and takes her time to get to know the dog and gives them the attention they are seeking or space if they are shy. We have adopted some dogs with unknown backgrounds that just needed to feel safe. Hannah understand the unique needs and does her best to give the ultimate care. I would hire her anytime!”
9. Matthew S.
About: I'm a great dog sitter, big reason is I don't charge an arm or a leg to watch your pet, I'm 5’7 and dark brown hair with blue eyes, you will always see me with a smile, I bring a backpack full of toys and treats for your pet, I will engage in physical activity with your pet unless your pet is a car I will try my best to engage with your cat, but I'm excellent with dogs you can call or text me about availability because I do go to college but my classes end at noon just an FYI. I'm very compassionate when it comes to animals because animals are my world and I love spending time with animals if you have any questions at all feel free to call or text me anytime. I may not have medical experience but I do have a person that I can call if I need any help when it comes to medical issues.

20. Jennifer S.
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. My husband and I raised six children and we had so many pets, our friends likened a visit to our home to going to the zoo. Dogs are amazing in their nature and need/want to love us and be loved. I look forward to caring for yours. I am available most weekdays and sometimes on the weekends. I can do evenings on occasion. I am pretty flexible, and often can fly by the seat of my pants. I have a lot of room to walk your dog. We live on 10 acres, on the river. We have chickens and ducks, too, so leash walking may be necessary.
