Dog Walkers in Sturgeon, ID

“Lisa was my very first Rover experience and she did not disappoint. Thank you for the great photos and the report card. It’s clear that they needed the walk and break. I will be using Lisa again without question. Thank you Lisa and Rover.”

About: I grew up caring for animals, dogs, cats, horses, fish, cows, chickens, and a goat, having pets most of my life. My background is in healthcare while in the military. I have been my father's caregiver which allowed me to help foster puppy litters to adult dogs and care for a pack of 8 dogs-4 of which are mine while caring for him. I can now enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I am interested in always learning about animal behavior and all aspects of their care. I have been my father's caregiver but sadly he passed at the age of 94 and would enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I have an open schedule that is veryflexible. I am blessed to have my son's help caring for our dogs, allowing me to provide in-home and overnight care if needed. The number one goal is to adapt personalized routines for your pets so they are happy and healthy.

“Sarah was a great help and went above and beyond!”

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life. We mainly have Angora goats, chickens, ducks, and guardian dogs. However, we’ve also had the occasional sheep, dairy goat, guinea hen and even a llama. In the house we have a Vizsla, four cats, and salt water fish. In the past I have also had a gecko and a hedgehog. I am available from 11am to 2pm and after 5pm. My weekend availability varies as I have tournaments most weekends, but I am usually available all day on Sundays. I also am available full time during holiday breaks. I do not offer care at my house because I don’t want to risk any problems with my pets, but I am happy to come to your house or take your pets for walks!

“Very sweet and great communication!”

About: Hi, my name is Jackie and I have always had animals in my home, including living in an in-home dog daycare and have loved every minute of it! I've spent the last few years dog and cat sitting, younger and older dogs, staying overnight and getting to know the families really well. I can provide many references, from dog walking to taking care of fur babies for a few days at a time! I work full time but typically have a schedule set a few weeks ahead so I'm happy to carve in times that work best for you and give you an idea of what my week looks like! I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds and look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! My guarantee to you is that you will always be kept updated, your pets day will always be a little bit better after our visit and your babies will be treated with the same love my own get ❤️ I currently work part time as a barista and I'm fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule to accomodate for you and your family! I'm happy to move things around to make your hours work. I am very aware of my surroundings and am careful to never put my animals or yours into a potentially dangerous situation. I'm happy to go over safety plans and expectations with you!

About: Care for the whole pet, not just the schedule. I care for dogs and cats as individuals, paying attention to how they’re feeling, what they need in the moment, and how to help them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. My approach blends attentive pet engagement with a whole-pet wellness mindset, meaning I’m always observing behavior, energy, appetite, and comfort, not just following a routine on autopilot. What families often notice about my care: + Calm, steady presence that helps pets settle quickly + Genuine affection paired with respectful boundaries + Clear, proactive communication My experience & strengths include: + Senior dogs and cats - honoring slower paces, mobility changes, and comfort needs + Puppies and kittens - reinforcing routines with loving, consistent care + Anxious, shy, or sensitive pets - low-pressure handling and emotional attunement + Multi-pet households - balanced attention for dogs and cats + Wellness-forward touches (always within your preferences): + Supporting healthy routines around feeding, hydration, movement, and rest + Respecting dietary instructions and being mindful of sensitivities + Noticing subtle changes that could signal stress, discomfort, or digestive upset + Nutritional assessments and coaching when requested + All natural ingredient dog spruce-up after walks At the heart of it, I want your pets to feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for, and for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. Pet care is my full-time profession, and I dedicate my days to supporting local dogs and cats, and traveling pets alike, with reliable dog walking and drop-in visits. I provide consistent, unrushed care, prioritizing routines and well-being, while remaining flexible for young puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs. I care for pets in your home, keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. My approach is whole-pet centered, attentive, calm, playful, and personalized: + Reliable dog walking & drop-in visits + Gentle, structured care for cats + Special attention for puppies & senior pets + Respecting routines, meals, and wellness

About: I have always had a love for working with animals, but I am especially acclimated to dogs of all types! I have spent some time volunteering at the Humane Society / Companions and helping with the dogs there. I love cats too, but my experience is more limited with them! I have babysat a few easy ones, but haven't owned any myself since I was young. I have owned dogs for most of my life, but I recently lost one and so I am in between right now! I can't wait to meet my new furry pal(s)! :) I'm on a 3-4 day schedule lately, usually quite busy Tues, Wed, Thurs. I can typically be 100% available Fridays through Mondays, so I can help you out with weekend getaways, etc! :) I live in a quiet neighborhood by the Avondale golf course in Hayden. I have a fairly large fenced yard, perfect for fetch games or other activities! Also, a lot of cozy space to lounge and chew toys inside if our furry friend prefers to remain indoors! I have disposable potty pads in case they will be used, but I am very used to cleaning up after non-potty-trained dogs too!

About: I’ve been house sitting and watching dogs for the last 3 years, and absolutely love it! I have gotten the opportunity to care for many different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I currently have two dogs, and always have had dogs growing up, so I have a lot of experience! I’m currently working part time with my schedule varying, but have free time throughout the week, and can usually work house sitting into my work schedule when needed:) I typically care for dogs in the clients home when house sitting, and am able to pick them up for walks figure out alternatives when needed.

About: I am a veterinary technician of almost 6 years, and before that I took care of dogs and cats as a kennel attendant. I have loved animals as long as I've been alive! I work four days a week, which means the other three days are very open for me! I am single and love animals so there is really not a better fit. I am very trustworthy with your furry friends. I have a dog of my own that I love dearly, and I work with animals as a career almost on a daily basis.

“Jessica was super responsive and flexible on timing, and I had a house full of tired dogs after she took them out.”

“5 stars! She showed up several times a day while I was gone and spent a lot of time with my dog who gets nervous when I leave, and showed him a lot of love! Looks like he really enjoyed their walks and play time! Angelina even went above and beyond to hang out with him longer than scheduled and made sure he had water and food every day, and then did one last check in after I got back from vacation. Will definitely hire her again next time! Thanks Angelina!”

About: It feels silly to say 26 years of pet care when I am 26 years old. But I might as well, because I’ve never not had a dog! I am a golden retriever mom so I’m used to big energetic dogs. I watched family and friend’s dogs often and decided to do it more full time with Rover. I’m good for a good long walk - let’s get some steps in! I also have senior dog experience, such as administering medication and special food and care instructions. I have a very flexible work schedule - I can work from anywhere, anytime, so I can be flexible for your pet’s needs and provide them the care they need As a pet owner and frequent traveler, I know that leaving your pet in someone else’s hands can be nerve wracking. The best pet sitters assure you that their pet is being cared for, so you can enjoy your time away! If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have an energetic golden retriever as a friend, with full time access via doggy door to our large, fenced backyard.

About: I’m a forester with a flexible schedule and I live in a house with a fenced in yard. I have cared for and trained dogs for most of my life and now compete in obedience trials. I am available most days for walks or drop ins most days. I am also available for boarding if your dog is the right fit. I have a 7 and a 2 year old German shorthaired pointers. I am excited to meet you and your dog! . I work full time and have a flexible schedule. I occasionally work from home. I am available to do drop ins or walks during the day. I have a fenced in yard and my dogs are crated when I am not home. Let me know if your dog has any restrictions or requirements.

“Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”
