“What a great experience for our 3 dogs with Amber! She kept them active, kept us updated, and was flexible when our travel needs changed. Absolutely couldn’t recommend higher!”
“Pamela is the best! We travel all over the country and Pamela is Ackee’s favorite sitter. Pamela sends many photos and updates and I can tell Ackee has so much fun. Looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
“Kira was very sweet to my dog and super flexible to work with. She reached out beforehand with a phone call to make sure we were on the same page for the sitting, which made me feel that she was responsible and trustworthy. She’s active and will definitely exercise your dog if you want it. I also received a picture of my dog and her dog curled up together next to her bed for the night.”
About: Hi! I’m Nova! I am a college student at Idaho State University home for the summer with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for ALL animals. I have roughly four years of unofficial experience caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family, including dog walking, dog sitting, overnight care, cat care, and chicken care. I have experience caring for my own pets, including three dogs and one cat. I understand how important it is to provide pets with attention, patience, exercise, and consistent care. I enjoy spending time with animals and will meet your pet where they are. There is always time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you, their owners, are away. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet care. I am available throughout the summer until I return to school in early August. If there is time I have blocked off, I always communicate clearly and work closely with pet owners to make schedules work whenever mutually possible. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, attentive, and caring looking after your pet. Safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable are very important to me when caring for animals. I always try to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, waters / meals on schedule, and a good environment. I am also willing to provide regular updates and communication so you owners feel confident in your pet care. I primarily offer care in clients’ homes and through dog walking visits, as I have pets of my own at home and this helps simplify care for you and me! I find that many pets are also more comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they can keep their normal routines and surroundings. I always respect clients’ homes, follow instructions carefully, and make pet safety my top priority during walks, visits, and overnight stays.
“David - thank you for taking care of Taggert. I really hate being away from my dog. The way you observed my dog and me and instinctively knew how to put us at ease is so much appreciated. From the photos, I could tell he was well cared for and having a good time. Just what I needed during the ski race. I'd write a longer review, but Taggert wants me to hustle over to the grocery and get him, "the good cookies", that you gave him! Thanks again - Senja & Taggert”
About: I grew up with hound dogs and helped care for them from the time I was 7 years old. As an adult I have 2 dogs myself who I love to take out trail running and hiking. Whether your pet needs playtime, gentle care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm here to help. Your dog will be treated like family here. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know exactly how they're doing. Feel free to message me with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your pet! I work 4 days a week. I’m free for drop-ins and walks before and after work, plus fully available for the weekend. I’m an active person and enjoy using my free time to care for and exercise dogs. Pets are allowed on furniture, its their home too! I live in a townhouse but can take them out for potty breaks on the bike path.
About: Hi there! I'm Hannah and I have always enjoyed spending time with dogs. Growing up, my family always had a dog. Currently, I have a husky/shepherd mix. I am very athletic and enjoy walking, especially with a furry friend. I am enthusiastic, energetic and compassionate. Over the years I have taken care of my neighbor's pets as well as my coworker's. I look forward to meeting you and your doggo! I am an actress/ singer/ dancer. I also teach voice lessons and sing with local bands in the valley. My schedule is flexible as it varies weekly. My house is dog friendly. There will always be a water bowl for your dog, and I am very attentive and consistent with things like meal times, going out for fresh air and picking up after your dog.
“My Bernese Mountain Dog, Lindy, was well cared for happy during a two night stay. Natalia was easy to communicate using the Rover app and sent pictures during our time away. Thanks, Natalia for taking care of Lindy!!”
“Our dog had a great experience with Lorraine. They went on hikes every day and she sent pictures and videos of our dog having fun. She was very responsive and we would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labs and giving them several walks a day was always a high priority so they could burn up all that energy!I understand the importance of a good walk and how it can also be tough to squeeze in sometimes on a busy day. So don’t spend the day feeling guilty if your schedule won’t allow time to give your dog a walk. I can help. We usually let our dogs off the leash so they could run and fetch, but if you would rather me keep them on a leash that is what I will do. I have lived in the area for a while so I know plenty of spots to take them, or if you have preferred routes I will do that. On 3 occasions over the past couple years I have stayed with my sister and her husbands two dogs (lab mixed with Aussie Shepard) for a week at a time. They have as strict of a walking routine/diet as you can imagine and I had no problems satisfying their needs. I also understand that when traveling you cannot always bring your pet with you and putting them in a doggie hotel is both expensive and not a good time for them. If you’d like them to remain in the comfort of your home I’m happy to spend time with them and make sure they are comforted through that period. I work mornings from 5:30-noonish 5 days a week. I am available from 1 until 8 or 9 for walks or check-in’s, feeding, cleaning up. I’m a very active person so can take your dog on long walks, a hike or just play in the yard if preferred. My parents who are often not in town have a large very nice condo in elkhorn that is pet friendly that is available for use. There is an upstairs deck available off the living room for them to go between for them to get some fresh air The yard is not fenced so downstairs I could not leave them to roam. But neighborhood is quiet with a great path for walking them, also have trails out into the desert I could take them if alright.
About: I am a vet tech with many years of experience. I have a passion for providing the best care I can to every pet I meet. I enjoy spend time with animals of all kinds. I have experience with pocket pets and exotics as well. I have a lot of experience handling all sizes and temperments of pets. I am able to give all forms of medications, including insulin and subcutaneous fluids. I have 2 dogs and four cats at home. My first few photos are of my pets and the rest are of pets I have taken care of in the past. I am currently working mid-valley during the week and have flexibility my schedule. I live in Bellevue and can travel to Sun Valley, Ketchum, and Hailey. I typically stay overnight at a client's house to give some continuity to the pet. I can take pets to the vet and am comfortable medicating cats and dogs.
About: Passionate dog lover and responsible caregiver, I am excited to embark on this journey as a dedicated dog sitter.

"Whether in your home or mine, rest assured, I'm attentive to your furry friend's needs and safety. Will always be consistent on what your expectations are for care of your furry friend.
“Jori was fantastic. We left our 6-year old yellow lab with her for 3 days/3 nights at her house in Hailey. Our dog went on walks, hikes and swims with Jori. Our dog was having such a good time that we weren’t sure our lab would come home with us when we returned!”

Cat caregivers near you - Barite
About: I have grown up my whole life with animals, always a dog and a cat in our home. I go into any situation with an open mind and heart and I don’t let any sort of task daunt me. I walked a large huskey all throughout highschool and cared for my own pets with walks and other interactions. I find it very important to connect with animals on an emotional level and I try to do so with any animal I meet. I work in Sun Valley four days a week, but I am always open to discuss your pets’ needs and make adjustments if possible. If you are interested in me as a sitter, but wonder about what a schedule would look like, please reach out and I am more than happy to talk options! Additionally, I have a car so transportation is not an issue. With my own pets I am very loving and I try to spend quality time playing together or sitting together and relaxing. I plan to treat any pet I care for with the same mentality because it is important that pets trust the people who care for them and the best way to create trust is by establishing a caring bond.

“Kira is one of the Rovers you never have to worry about while you are away... you just know your fuzzball is in good hands. My cat was well taken care of and communication was great.”
“REBECCA IS GREAT!!! I'm very careful about who I leave Mojo with and he couldn't have been in better hands. She was responsive to my texts and even went out of her way to make sure that he was taken care of when I was late returning from my trip. I will definitely be using her again!!”
About: Growing up, my family, along with dogs had cats. 5 over the years. I have always got along very well with cats and they seem to like me. I’ve watched friends cats a few times and everything went great. I don’t agree when people roll their eyes at cats or insist dog are better. They are both great and unique in their own way
About: I love dogs! I live with my 17 year old miniature poodle, Milo, who I have had since we were both pups. We love house guests and walking mates. Milo and I walk around city park twice a day. In addition, I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. I work from a home office and am at home most of the time. Your dog will always be by my side. I am a professional videographer and would enjoy sending update videos letting you know what your loved one is getting up to while you are away. Milo and I hope we are a great match for your dog / dogs and would love your dog/dogs to be our temporary roommates. I work for Sun Valley but have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Walks, Sitting, check ins only as I currently can't have pets staying at my current dwelling. Unfortunately I can't house any pets at my current location but would love to watch your dog set up as a sitting at your house.
About: My girlfriend and I have two cats; a Siamese and a calico. Our two cats are our babies and we take a lot of pride in taking care of them. I grew up with either three or four cats at a time. We have fostered kittens where we had to bottle feed as well as senior cats.
About: That was cheesy, but regardless, your cats will be safe and happy with me. I absolutely love cats and have two of my own. I am familiar with giving oral medication, I have not personally given shots, but would be willing if you’re comfortable showing me how. I don’t mind cleaning up any messes, and I can play for as long as it takes for kitties to lose interest. My cat likes to play rough (lovingly) so I’m used to getting bitten and scratched and have pretty tough skin.
“Natalia was awesome. She made us feel secure our kids were well taken care of and loved. We have two dogs and two cats and they are still waiting for Natalia to come back and love them. Highly recommended.”

About: I have taken care of cats myself for 10 years, and my wife has had many cats since she was born. Her mom in Iquique has 5 cats at home currently, and between us we have experienced many of the different personalities they can have. We are always happy to meet new cats and to take care of them however they need, whether that means hands off or lots of activity and play.
About: The accolades received from grateful clients include: " She'll take better care of your dog than do!" "I can leave town in peace, knowing that my diabetic dog will receive her meds and food on schedule." "Taz loves going to Kim's for doggie day care and he knows he'll get to go on a hike or montain bike run!" "It meant so much to me to know that Kim would carry my elderly dog up and down the steps." "I love the photos Kim sends of Lucy! I know she's treated like one of the family." "As soon as Kim handed me forms requesting detailed info about my vet, as well as my dogs habits, personality and preferences, I knew she was a professional!". "Woof, woof, woof!!" I’m currently working part time and my schedule varies. My dog gets on average two 45 min walks per day and play dates so yours would be included Of course, each situation is different as to specifics but basically I care for your dog like I would my own. Dogs need consistent schedules for meals, walks and play.

“Joy and Joe were excellent dog sitters! Great communication and really sweet to Kurt - plus awesome travel recommendations for us pet parents! We highly recommend Joy and Joe for your pet-sitting needs in the Ketchum/Sun Valley/Hailey area.”
About: Hello! I'm Pamela, a passionate dance instructor living in the beautiful Wood River Valley. I feel incredibly grateful to share my life with my three wonderful dogs, whom I affectionately call the “Tres Amigos”: Tate, Rudy, and Boscoe. They're over three years old, full of energy, friendly, and love to have fun, bringing so much joy to my daily life. I treat them like family, and my 5-acre ranch is a lively, welcoming space with two large, beautifully landscaped fenced yards filled with toys and love. I can host two potty-trained and friendly dogs at a time—no worries, just happy pups! Since 2017, I've gained extensive experience pet-sitting in places like California, Washington, Arizona, Wyoming, and Idaho, completing 20 five-star assignments with a company, Trusted House Sitters, as a professional sitter. Now that I spend most of my time at home, I’m excited to start a Rover business to share my love and care with even more pets in our community! I work as a dance instructor in the beautiful Wood River Valley, teaching three days a week for three hours. My husband runs a software company and works from home, and we really cherish our time at the ranch, spending our days enjoying the peace and beauty of our home. We have three lovable dogs who just adore making new friends, and they always enjoy some bones, tasty popsicles, and a variety of fun toys and playtime. We treat all dogs like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay.
“I can't say enough great things about this family and the care they took of Hazel. These are truly amazing human beings. They went above and beyond in every aspect of taking care of Hazel and me.”
About: I love to care for animals... horses, dogs, and cats have all been a part of my life. From high school through college, I worked for the local veterinarian. A balance of exercise, fun, and relaxing is what I think is a good recipe to follow, whether you are an animal or a human being! If you'll allow me, I would love to get to know your special "Side-Kick". They are truly a gem in our lives. For dog sitting, I am flexible about staying in your home, or having your pet stay at mine. Enjoy walking in the neighbor or going on hikes. Mindful of adjusting the walk durations for those dogs who may not need too much exercise. I am retired, so plenty of time together. Love thinking of outings that your dog may enjoy, depending upon age and athletic interests. Custom camp adventures! Safety first. Leashes at all times when anywhere near cars, and direction from the owner as to whether off-leash is preferred on trails. I will be so very mindful of safety.
“Amber is amazing! She took our two dogs for long walks, swimming, playing with children and other dogs. Amber was able to work through the dog's moments of anxiety and put them right at ease. The photos throughout the day put us at ease knowing our fur babies were in good hands and having fun.”

I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they need—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or winding down with cuddles in the evening. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to enjoy! I have a yard where they can safely run around and play, or just relax on the porch and soak up the sunshine.

About: I started sitting in earnest four years ago, but grew up with my own dogs and often babysat for friends and family in high school and college. I’ve cared for Greyhounds, Border Collies, Shihtzus, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, APBTs, one Mastiff, one Akita, one senior German Shpeherd, and one Border Terrier/Shihtzu puppy. I’m a teaching artist, so my fluctuating schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dogs, but the long periods of remote work and time between gigs means I have very flexible availability and can fill the hole in my heart by being a reliable, loving sitter for others. I really cherish any opportunity to spend time with any pups and look forward to meeting yours! I’m between gigs at the moment, so save some odd appointments, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening drop in walks, daytime sitting, or longer overnight stays and in-home sitting. I always prefer to take a walk with pet parents leading when I first meet new dogs to get a sense of what they’re used to. For multi-day sitting, I always follow whatever norms you set in your home to make sure training stays consistent and there’s no confusion that may create anxiety for your pups. If working remotely, I try to stay where pups can see me and take lots of breaks for walks, pottying, and pets. Unless you have a specific walking route, I like to stay on quieter streets with slower speed limits and less traffic so walks are calm. I also like to allow lots of time for sniffing (smells stimulate your pup’s brain!) unless you have behavioral or training concerns about avoiding distractions during walks.
About: As a dog mom, I know how important it is to you to make sure your dog receives the proper care. I’m an avid dog lover with ample experience dog walking and sitting for friends and family. I am both attentive, caring, and trustworthy. Dogs tend to warm up to me quick. Instinctively, I think they sense I am a good person who is going to take good care of them. Please feel free to reach out to me! I am available on both weekdays and weekends for dog walking. I have a car and a flexible schedule. I was born and raised here so I know the area very well. As I love dogs, I am more than happy to help out with your pouch. Look forward to hearing from you and to meeting your pooch! :)

About: I have always had more than two dogs throughout my life, and getting to take care of them is my favorite part of my day! Pet sitting fits well into my weekly routine because I am responsible, dependable, and have a flexible schedule. I can provide pets with regular feeding, exercise, attention. I provide safe, attentive care for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention.
About: Hi! I’m Nova! I am a college student at Idaho State University home for the summer with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for ALL animals. I have roughly four years of unofficial experience caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family, including dog walking, dog sitting, overnight care, cat care, and chicken care. I have experience caring for my own pets, including three dogs and one cat. I understand how important it is to provide pets with attention, patience, exercise, and consistent care.

I am available throughout the summer until I return to school in early August. If there is time I have blocked off, I always communicate clearly and work closely with pet owners to make schedules work whenever mutually possible. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, attentive, and caring looking after your pet.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have experience with dogs at all life stages from puppies to seniors, as well as pups with reactive behaviors. I also have experience having my own cats growing up and taking care of others' cats throughout my life. I am patient and love giving cuddles and pets but also know how to keep boundaries when necessary. I work a full time job - four 10 hour shifts during the week but am able to do potty breaks during lunch when house sitting. Having owed my last dog for 15 years and never boarding him and now having a younger rescue with separation anxiety, I fully understand the importance of keeping your pet comfortable in their home while their parents are traveling or having to work long hours. I am happy to tire your pup out or just provide some love and attention while your away. For more independent pets, I am happy to do quick stops to let them out, walk, and feed them. For our more needy ones, I'd be happy to spend the night. If overnight stays are requested, I would need to bring my dog, Banks, with me. He is a good playmate and can help tire out and socialize your pup but would never be left with your pets unattended.
About: Born and raised on a ranch surrounded by all kinds of animals, I’ve always had a deep love for pets. We have a big Bernese Mountain Dog (and dogs!) who do everything with us. I’m a former wildland firefighter, so I love being outdoors—which means our dogs are always off on adventures. My family and I live a very active lifestyle, so if you’d like, I am more than happy to help keep your dogs exercised and engaged. Our family loves Blaine County, and I’m more than willing to travel throughout the county to care for your pups. We also love ending the day with a walk on a trail and relaxing with a movie. I would love for your dog to become a part of our family—we have plenty of love, energy, and attention to give. 🐾💛 I am a SAHM with very active kiddos, but do this when they are at school. It works great for us, and allows me to get more puppy time in. Because I have older dog who is stuck in his ways, I do not offer boarding. But that can and probably will change in the future:)
About: I've taken care cats, dogs, and guinea pigs since I was a little kid. My family was super adventurous and we took our dogs everywhere with us. Growing up we fostered cats and dogs of all breeds and ages. I am a professional cross-country skier so I am very active during the day. I can go on many walks or runs with your dog if needed. I will be out for two hours in the morning and then free until the afternoon. Our cats are indoor cats because of our busy street. However, growing up we would let our cats out for however long they wanted and then let them in. We had a revolving door so when we were home they were allowed to go out. I will try to make you feel as comfortable and safe as possible when watching your pet.

About: Hi my name is Janis, I have lived in the wood river area for the past 5ish years and love it out here! I have grown up my whole life around dogs and I have also done many dog sitting and housing sitting jobs throughout the years. I love running, nordic skiing playing fetch and being outside in general so if you have a dog with a lot of energy we will be a good match. If you have any questions about me feel free to message me, I'm willing to work with you in order to make you and your pup feel comfortable. I look forward to hearing from you! I have a flexible day time schedule so I am able to get the dogs out for a run, hike, bike, ski during the day. I have a small border collie husky mix named panda. She is really sweet and playful and gets along with all dogs. I also have a white border collie mix named ziggy who is super playful and loves all dogs and cats! I unfortunately can’t have more dogs in my home, but am happy to house and pet sit and will be sure to take great care of your place!
About: Hi! My name is Jori and I am a full-time college student studying Environmental Science at Westminster. I love nature, being outside, and staying active-- which are all things I would love to bring your dog along for. I have a nice house and a fenced in area. I have about 4 years of dog sitting experience under my belt and just recently adopted a new yellow lab puppy of my own. That being said, I absolutely adore dogs. I would love to be able to bring my puppy along, but am also understanding if that does not work for you. My schedule is very flexible, and I am always open to working something out! I hope I can be the right fit for you and your pup!
About: I have taken care of animals, whether they are my own or my neighbors since I was a child. I have fed, walked, bathed, given medications to, and played with most types of animals. I just moved to the area, so I currently have all the time in the world to hang out with your fur-babies. I have two cats of my own and I love to play with them, but I love meeting new animals and making friends. My cats have free roam of the house, and they are very well behaved. They are allowed outside with a harness on, and they love to explore. When taking care of animals in a home that is not my own, I typically ask what the owner prefers to do, and that will be my default for the time period I am caring for that animal.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m here to give them the care, attention, and love they deserve. What makes me different? I take the time to really get to know each pet their quirks, their routines, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their humans. I have experience with basic puppy training (like leash walking, potty habits, and socialization), and I’m comfortable helping senior pets with mobility support, medication, or just offering a calm, caring presence. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like one of my own with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible and reliable schedule for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. I’m also available on weekends and open to overnight stays if your pet needs a little extra company or consistency while you’re away. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I’m here to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved. I usually care for pets in their own homes, as I live in a small apartment without a yard. This helps keep pets comfortable in familiar surroundings and reduces their stress. Whether I’m at your home or assisting with other needs, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines, while providing plenty of love and attention so your pet feels secure and happy.

“What a great experience for our 3 dogs with Amber! She kept them active, kept us updated, and was flexible when our travel needs changed. Absolutely couldn’t recommend higher!”
“Pamela is the best! We travel all over the country and Pamela is Ackee’s favorite sitter. Pamela sends many photos and updates and I can tell Ackee has so much fun. Looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
“Kira was very sweet to my dog and super flexible to work with. She reached out beforehand with a phone call to make sure we were on the same page for the sitting, which made me feel that she was responsible and trustworthy. She’s active and will definitely exercise your dog if you want it. I also received a picture of my dog and her dog curled up together next to her bed for the night.”
“David - thank you for taking care of Taggert. I really hate being away from my dog. The way you observed my dog and me and instinctively knew how to put us at ease is so much appreciated. From the photos, I could tell he was well cared for and having a good time. Just what I needed during the ski race. I'd write a longer review, but Taggert wants me to hustle over to the grocery and get him, "the good cookies", that you gave him! Thanks again - Senja & Taggert”
About: I grew up with hound dogs and helped care for them from the time I was 7 years old. As an adult I have 2 dogs myself who I love to take out trail running and hiking.

About: Hi there! I'm Hannah and I have always enjoyed spending time with dogs. Growing up, my family always had a dog. Currently, I have a husky/shepherd mix. I am very athletic and enjoy walking, especially with a furry friend. I am enthusiastic, energetic and compassionate. Over the years I have taken care of my neighbor's pets as well as my coworker's. I look forward to meeting you and your doggo! I am an actress/ singer/ dancer. I also teach voice lessons and sing with local bands in the valley. My schedule is flexible as it varies weekly. My house is dog friendly. There will always be a water bowl for your dog, and I am very attentive and consistent with things like meal times, going out for fresh air and picking up after your dog.
“My Bernese Mountain Dog, Lindy, was well cared for happy during a two night stay. Natalia was easy to communicate using the Rover app and sent pictures during our time away. Thanks, Natalia for taking care of Lindy!!”
“Our dog had a great experience with Lorraine. They went on hikes every day and she sent pictures and videos of our dog having fun. She was very responsive and we would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labs and giving them several walks a day was always a high priority so they could burn up all that energy!I understand the importance of a good walk and how it can also be tough to squeeze in sometimes on a busy day. So don’t spend the day feeling guilty if your schedule won’t allow time to give your dog a walk. I can help. We usually let our dogs off the leash so they could run and fetch, but if you would rather me keep them on a leash that is what I will do. I have lived in the area for a while so I know plenty of spots to take them, or if you have preferred routes I will do that. On 3 occasions over the past couple years I have stayed with my sister and her husbands two dogs (lab mixed with Aussie Shepard) for a week at a time. They have as strict of a walking routine/diet as you can imagine and I had no problems satisfying their needs. I also understand that when traveling you cannot always bring your pet with you and putting them in a doggie hotel is both expensive and not a good time for them. If you’d like them to remain in the comfort of your home I’m happy to spend time with them and make sure they are comforted through that period. I work mornings from 5:30-noonish 5 days a week. I am available from 1 until 8 or 9 for walks or check-in’s, feeding, cleaning up. I’m a very active person so can take your dog on long walks, a hike or just play in the yard if preferred. My parents who are often not in town have a large very nice condo in elkhorn that is pet friendly that is available for use. There is an upstairs deck available off the living room for them to go between for them to get some fresh air The yard is not fenced so downstairs I could not leave them to roam. But neighborhood is quiet with a great path for walking them, also have trails out into the desert I could take them if alright.
“Jori was fantastic. We left our 6-year old yellow lab with her for 3 days/3 nights at her house in Hailey. Our dog went on walks, hikes and swims with Jori. Our dog was having such a good time that we weren’t sure our lab would come home with us when we returned!”
