“Michael was very helpful and friendly with Jelly. He helped us when we need to book a walker right away he was able to help us. Thank you. For sure we recommend him and we will book him again.”


“Niki has been so helpful with our dogs. One is elderly and has been watched by her many times. This recent trip was the first time we also left our 4 yr old lab for an extended amount of time. Niki took the time to make sure our lab got exercise and both of our girls were in great spirits on our return. Everything went great!!”

“Shyanne is so incredible, and I couldn't be happier that I found her! She took amazing care of my girl and gave the cutest updates and pictures. My cat loved her check-ins, and I was able to travel worry-free knowing she was in good hands. She was diligent about checking each time on recent health concerns. I also came back from.my trip to find that Shyanne had also taken the trash out. She definitely knows what she's doing when watching our most loved family member.”



“Elisa took care of my 2 old cats multiple days. She followed the instructions I left and went beyond that with extra effort. She reported through Rover each day she visited and included pictures.

About: I love dogs and I know that most dogs are happiest with their families. I do everything I can to help guest pups integrate into our little dog pack and feel at home while their families are away. I’ve been dogsitting for quite some time now and have experienced all shapes and sizes. I love them all and enjoy getting to know their inner personalities and puzzling out what makes them content. We strive to have so much fun that the dogs are too tired to feel too sad. About our family/home: my wife and I both work from home and have flexibility to care for pups during the day. We have a fenced yard with a dog door and are close to the river, the foothills, a friendly dog park, and a quiet neighborhood for walking. River, 8, is a retriever mix who loves hikes in the foothills and the occasional game of chase or wrestle, but is pretty mellow at home. Theo, 1, is a golden retriever who loves all dogs and people. Both dogs have lot of experience playing with other dogs and hosting dogs in their home. We typically only take dogs from one household at a time unless we have indication that the dogs will get along well. We’ve also found that we all do best if a guest dog has a warmup period. Therefore, any dogs looking for a stay longer than 48 hours will be asked to do a trial run beforehand (a day of daycare or a night of boarding). This helps us ensure a peaceful and safe environment for all dogs and has the added benefit of helping a dog feel more comfortable when they return to a familiar place for their longer stay. Because we recently added a new puppy to our home, we are more selective than normal in which dogs we can board. Dogs with a history of aggression, excessive barking, or other behavior problems are not a good fit at this time. We do offer house-sitting on a limited basis. If you have a uniquely challenging dog or specific circumstances, reach out and we will see if we can make something work! We look forward to getting to know you and your dog. My partner and I both work from home, so we have a lot of flexibility. Dog needs come first in our home and we are happy to take work breaks to play or exercise. We have a fully fenced backyard with a dog-door. We live two blocks from a park that is great for fetch. Our neighborhood is great for walks.

“This was my first time using a service like this and I was a little nervous. However, Brooke was fantastic and even made the effort for a "meet and greet" before my departure. My cats adored her and she was responsive to their needs. Would def consider booking with her again. Thanks, Brooke!”


“I am so happy to have Tiara to check in on our cat while we are away. She’s responsible, dependable and we never have to worry when we are away. I highly recommend Tiara!”


About: Hi, we’re a family of 5 in the lower Highlands area. Sadly, we lost our family dog, Friday, last year. He was a high energy husky mix. We miss him! However, we aren’t ready to commit to adopting another dog just yet. We’d love to watch yours though! We are right across from Harrison hollow and we’re an active, outdoor family. We’ll take great care of your pooch! My husband and I both work from home & love to get out on walks during the day. We are both very active throughout the day. We have a back yard that is fenced in & room to run around in the back. We live close to walking trails and the foothills where we will take your dog on walks.

About: I was raised around pets my whole life. I currently love and care for my own two cats while assisting friends and family with their fur babies. I am comfortable walking, brushing, bathing, feeding, and cleaning up after dogs. I am a recent doctoral graduate and am hoping to fill some time caring for our four legged friends. I will be out of work for about two months, so I will be available most days and times unless I am out of town. I am clean, respectful, and safe especially in others’ homes. I will only enter areas of the home necessary for pet care and cleaning up after myself and pet if any messes are to be made!

About: Hi there, fellow dog lover! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by... I live in the beautiful North End of Boise and have been pet sitting for years, caring for everything from high-energy pups to wise old senior dogs and plenty of cats, and occasionally horses, and small animals too! I grew up around Saint Bernards, so I’ve been wrangling big dogs since I could walk. Our house was kind of a magnet for animals in need....strays, rescues, you name it. We never turned them away and either kept them or helped find them forever homes with family and friends. That experience shaped how I care for animals today...patient, flexible, and with a lot of heart. I’m comfortable with pups of all ages and temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, you name it. Also, please ask me anything if you can't find it in my profile! I'm happy to discuss extra services that you or your pet needs to feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away! I'm a hiker, mountain biker, and love long walks! I am recently retired early from the tech industry and now have time to give back to my community and neighbors! I'm available 7 days a week, and for overnights if needed and if the fit is right! Contact me anytime, and we can coordinate something that works, whether it's just hanging out with your pet or having a fun adventure! I've lived a lifetime with pets and rescued animals, so for me they are family. I treat all living things with respect, understanding, and care. I'm always thinking ahead of potential scenarios when planning any outings, making sure I'm prepared with extra leashes, treats, and/or a strong understanding of an area and what to expect.
