“Absolutely amazing! I worry about my geriatric lab who has separation anxiety. Amy sent messages multiple times a day with photos checking in with how things are going right down to potties, walks and medicine. I 100% vouch for her and highly recommend.”
“We left our puppy for the first time with Elise and it was a great experience! She was so kind and made it so easy! She even texted us updates with pictures while we were gone! We are so grateful for her!”
“Lindsay was amazing!!! Our 5 month old puppy stayed with her for over a week and it was the best experience. She worked with her on some basic training, got her to sleep in a crate and sent daily pictures and updates! We will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Ashley and her family took great care of Diana, especially with all the long walks, making sure she took her medicine, and sending us so many updates and pictures to let us know how Diana was doing. We will absolutely be checking Ashley's availability next time we head out of town.”
“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”
“Dylan watched my dog at his apartment over a long weekend and it went great! I got photo updates and easily coordinated drop of / pick up with fast response times. Would use Dylan’s dog walking services again.”
“Michael, Wendy and their sweet family were amazing with our Charlie! We joked that he might be disappointed to get picked up! It was wonderful to have such peace of mind knowing our puppers was in great hands.”
“My dog loved her stay with Tina! She was immediately comfortable and it was obvious she was well taken care of. Tina has a big back yard that any dog would love. My dog played and ran around so much during her stay. I received regular updates on how she was doing for the few nights that I was away, which I really appreciated. I would recommend Tina to anyone looking for a loving and comfortable home for their dog to stay.”
“Katelyn was super sweet and so was her family. They kept our Golden and took great care of her, lovin on her like she was one of the family. She also took our pup on last minute and was so communicative and easy to work with. I Will definitely book again with Katelyn!”
“We loved our first experience with Jillian and her family and we are now repeat costumers. Thank you Jillian for loving our furry friend and caring for him while we were away.”
“Lerin was amazing with our beagle! She clearly has a love for pets and her kiddos were great with our pup. She provided several check ins with photos and video. We hope to use Lerin again for our Roxy!”
“Bob & Vicky were fantastic & their home is set up perfectly for our 2 pups who love a backyard and quick access with doggie door along with lots of attention & loving. We are thrilled to have found this ideal home away from home for our treasured family members! Thanks so much Bob & Vicky!”
“Amanda is amazing! My two pups love staying at her house. Amanda adores her own dogs and treats them like family, and when my girls were with her they got the same attention, love, and care that she gives her own. I felt VERY comfortable leaving my dogs there for the first time. I knew they were in great hands and were living their best life while I was away. Amanda took them on lots of walks and sent many cute pictures and updates, too. She was also very willing and happy to do things the way our pups are used to at home. Thank you, Amanda! Poppy and Sunny will definitely be staying here again.”
“Bobbie is very kind. She went above and beyond to make sure Zuzu was well cared for. She reached out when she had concerns about how much Zuzu was eating. Her granddaughters were adorable and so good with Zuzu.”
“Aimee and Derek were great with my slightly nervous dog; they sent pictures everyday and were warm and friendly, perfect to keep her calm. Great location for us and easy to do drop off/pick up. Would recommend and use again!”
“Tyler has been great with our dog! This was our second time using Tyler and our dog was so excited to see him again. Tyler was willing to work with us when our travel plans got messed up. We are so grateful for his patience.”
“Elizabeth & Alexander were so amazing! I went on a trip where I had no cell service and felt completely comfortable to leave my dog in their care. I came back with so many updates. My dog has many, many quirks and he was so happy to be in their home! I would recommend them to everyone.”

“Alinda communicated well, was very responsive, and took good care of my cat! She is reliable and friendly. If I was living in Boise longer I would definitely rebook her again for future trips.”
“Kalli was a great sitter for our 15-yr.old cat! She double-checked on dosage for one of his medications, and also followed up to be sure we had arrived home, offering to feed our cat again if we hadn't made it back as planned. Also, our cat still hangs out by the front door in hopes that she will come by and give him some cuddles!”
“Sydney was wonderful! Very communicative and super helpful! She was able to make an additional semi-last minute visit work and gave our cat lots of love for us while we were away!”
“Atticus was great with taking care of our cats as well as being agreeable to taking care of non-pet related tasks such as taking out the garbage to the curb and bringing in packages. Atticus was communicative, agreeable to a meet and greet, and stuck to the care schedule. I would book with Atticus in the future and recommend others do the same.”
“Liz and Anna were great with my pups while I was away for a few days. They had great communication and provided updates and photos which helped me be able to enjoy my time away without anxiety and worry. I highly recommend them.”
“Renee is wonderful! Super reliable, efficient, and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with our kitties. She has become our go-to cat sitter for every time we are out of town!”
“Annemarie did an amazing job looking after Cricket. Cricket historically has not warmed up to Pet Sitters, however Annemarie is now Cricket's new best friend. Setting in her lap, receiving brushings and wanting to play, this we have never seen before. We highly recommend Annemarie for your pets as she is compassionate and great communicator. We got pictures and updates daily while in Europe. Hard to believe the change in Cricket, this is a first!”

About: We’ve been dedicated and compassionate lifelong pet owners with over 30 years’ experience pet sitting. This has provided us hands-on, real-life experience caring for animals through every stage of life—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. We understand that pets are family, and treat every animal in our care with the same patience, attentiveness, and love we give our own. What sets us apart from other sitters is our personal, individualized approach. We take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. We’re calm, observant, and reliable, which helps us quickly recognize changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. Special Skills & Care Experience • Puppy care & basic training support (house-training routines, leash manners, positive reinforcement) • Senior pet care, including slower-paced walks, mobility assistance, and medication reminders (as instructed) • Experience with anxiety-prone or shy pets • Maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and enrichment activities • Clear communication with pet parents, including regular updates and photos We believe trust, consistency, and kindness are the foundation of great pet care. Our goal is to provide an stress-free experience for both pets and their humans—so you can relax knowing your pet is in capable, loving hands. As stay-at-home pet parents, we have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows us to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day. We’re home most of the time, which means pets in our care are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. This availability also allows us to closely monitor behavior, comfort, and routines, ensuring each pet receives personalized care and plenty of love and attention. Safety, trust, and comfort are our top priorities in every pet care setting. Whether caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we follow each pet’s routine closely to maintain a familiar and stress-free environment. We ensure all spaces are clean, secure, and free of hazards, and carefully supervise pets during play, feeding, and walks. We respect household rules, use leashes and safety protocols at all times, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health.

“Lily did an amazing job watching my house and cats. You can tell she truly cares for the animals and is very trustworthy. Also great at checking in and reassuring the owners that everything is going well. 100% recommend!”
About: I am primarily on this app to be of service to our dog training clients when they go out of town. I am sometimes available to take other pets, but not always. I understand that each animal has their own personality and quirks. I am able to care for pets of any age. I have experience administering medications as well. I work full time at a dog training facility. I spend most of my free time taking care of animals. I am able to bring pups to work with me during the day, so I can potty and let them run around on my breaks throughout the day. I will either bring your pup to my house or go to yours! Whatever your preference is. I do have two dogs of my own, both are friendly to all different types of pets. We also have a cat, so my dogs know how to behave around them (not chasing, bothering, etc.) As I mentioned above, I work at a training facility and will be able to bring your pup to work with me instead of them being home alone during the day. I have lots of experience crate training dogs, and can help continue or start that training for you.

“Elise was great with our dog and clearly knew how to handle dogs. She walked him before briging him inside which is a good way to help a dog connect with someone new. She sent photos throughout the day of our dog relaxing at her house and hanging with other dogs. We'll definitely reach out again when we need help with our dog!”
“DeHanna was super sweet with my pup! She was extremely quick to respond and I could tell Morel enjoyed being with her pack during a three day day care stay! Would absolutely book with DeHanna and crew again!”
“Phedre has been amazing with our dog Millie. She’s done some drop in visits for us and watched her for the day currently and I feel so at peace knowing my dogs being taken care of so amazingly. We will absolutely be useing her again”
“Lilly Had such a great time with Michael & Wendy and family! They have a very loving home and will always treat your sweet pup like their own. They are also very knowledgeable about dogs and you can have peace of mind knowing yours is in their hands. We definitely can't wait to come see you guys again in the future. Many thanks to you !”
“My pup had a great time. She had just been to the vet and gotten stitches and Daniel followed the doctor's orders so she didn't have any further injury. She was happy to go there.”
“Sarah was very considerate to my lil' puppers! She kept me updated through out the day with messages, pictures, and videos. They have a yard so my Tambi also had the chance to run around. They have one other dog that was very amicable towards my little one and overall I felt very comfortable leaving my Tambi with them for doggy daycare. Will definitely seeking their care again in the future!!”
“Amy was the best! Not only did she take such great care of my dog, she also went above and beyond to allow me to drop off a little early and pick up a little late. 10/10 experience with her!!”
About: I have cared for pets since I was 6 years old, started with a tabby cat named Tinker after Tinker Bell. Since then I’ve cared for multiple cats of my own (including litters), and 2 of the sweetest dogs until seniors. I also loved and cared for the cutest peach-faced love bird, named, but of course - Peaches. I believe animals were created for us to be reminded to enjoy each moment we are given. I also believe that they deserve the best care and love through excellent attention to health, play and grooming. I have a set schedule that I will stick to for the most part, with flexibility upon request. Occasionally I will travel as well with advance notice. I am happy to come to your home to care for, feed, groom and play with your pet. I am also happy to take your pet for a drive (depending on the animal) to parks or different locations for exercise and play, or grooming.
“Silvia took amazing care of my two pups and made me feel completely at ease during their stay. She was very communicative and sent the best updates and photos throughout the day. I only wish I lived closer so I could use her again! Highly recommend!”
About: I’m so glad you’re here! I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing a cozy and loving home where you can feel completely at ease while they’re in my care. With years of experience as a pet owner, I’ve cared for puppies & senior dogs ensuring each one gets the attention and care they need. Currently my senior cat, Ruger is my only pet who lives in our home and he absolutely loves dogs! I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routines and cues because I know how important it is for them to feel comfortable and understood. Whether it’s gentle guidance, extra patience and comfort, or lots of playtime and affection, I respect their boundaries adapt quickly to their needs. I strive to speak their language to make them feel secure and right at home. Your dog’s happiness, safety and well-being are always my top priorities! **As a full-time sitter, Rover keeps a portion of each booking, so your tips and reviews mean the world — they go 100% to me and help keep my space cozy and well-maintained for your pets!! 🐾 💛 I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get constant attention, care and companionship throughout the day. I am either on the computer in my office or in the barbershop (in the garage) which I cut hair 2-3 days a week for half of the day. Whether your dog loves to play, nap or just be near someone, they’ll never feel lonely while in my care. Since I’m home all day, I can easily keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime—all while ensuring they feel safe and loved. My flexible routine allows me to tailor care to their needs! I also have a 4 year old daughter who absolutely loves on all dogs, big or small and provides plenty of attention for them. With a calm and loving home environment and the ability to give one on one attention, your pup will feel like part of the family while you’re away! I have a backyard for your dog to roam around in that is fenced in and secure. I can also easily crate them if needed in a large cozy crate. I have a cozy home that they can nestle right into!
“Amanda was so wonderful and I’m so grateful she could take Millie at the last minute! She entertained her and spoiled her! Her dogs are wonderful and tired out my Millie dog!”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover with a big heart for animals. From energetic puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve cared for pets of all personalities and needs — and I treat every one of them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique routine and personality. You can count on me for: ✨ Reliable, on-time visits 🐶 Lots of love, attention & play 🐾 Updates with photos and messages 🐕 Experience with dogs, cats, and small animals Your pets deserve more than just basic care — they deserve comfort, companionship, and someone who genuinely enjoys being with them. That’s exactly what I provide. Let’s make sure your best friend gets the care (and cuddles) they deserve while you’re away! 💛 I currently work from home during the week and part time at a spa on the weekends. I have tons of free time and flexibility with my schedule. I have a full chain link fenced yard with doggy door access to the house. I also have the space to be able to accommodate crates if necessary.
“Marie has been caring for our lab, Mia, four days a week since she was 12 weeks old (now almost 11 months) and I couldn’t imagine anyone better! Mia is always happy to go to Marie’s house and loves getting to play with the other puppies she cares for. Marie is so sweet and caring and has been very helpful when Mia has gotten sick and needed special attention, medications, eye drops, and special meals. I don’t ever worry about her when she is at Marie’s. She is also very flexible about working with my and my fiancé’s crazy healthcare work schedules which we greatly appreciate! Thanks for all you do Marie!”
“I brought TWO dogs to Chunli very last minute. I had my dog and my daughter's dog. Chunli was incredibly sweet to them. She took them on several long walks and my daughter's dog is a RELENTLESS player with balls and Chunli very patiently played with her for way longer than I would have! They each had different feeding instructions and different dog foods and she followed all the instructions to the letter. The dogs were picked up at the end of a long day happy and barely even noticing I was there. I would totally use Chunli again.”
“Andi and Tim were awesome!! They met us with so much love, excitement and willingness to accept Rollie as her quirky self. Not only were they flexible but they sent me photos n messages to reassure me that Rollie was having the best time and in great hands while they got their dog fix haha. It was great and would 100% recommend them as well as love to book them again next time I’m in town.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2020, there is almost always someone at our home so no matter our plans our furry guests always have company. My young son loves to play tug, fetch, or chase and gets a kick out of helping with food and water. We are a mostly relaxed house until someone gets post dinner zoomies. I am on a hybrid work schedule, but there is almost always someone at our house to hang out with our 4 legged guests. We live right next to a park where we enjoy taking long walks, playing fetch, and just getting out and about at least once a day. We have a fully fenced backyard that has low risk for any escape artists (they'd have to be quite determined and find something we don't know about). However, I'll always check with you to make sure they're good outside on their own. Otherwise, I typically will stay outside with them just to be sure. Walks are always leashed and we only feed what is provided.
“Dylhan was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with. She cared for my babies like they were her own (and her little puppers are so cute and happy!). This was the first time one of my dogs was away from me and he had a great time until the very end while I got to meet the puppies and talk more with Dylhan. He wanted to keep playing! My anxious dog who has had experience away did great as well. Dyhlan made him comfortable and sent me updates with pictures and videos and cared for him when his anxiety made him nauseous. Absolutely can't recommend them enough and very thankful for their help with caring for my babies!”
“Our dog had a great time with Amber and Jasper! She was shy at first, but was zooming in the backyard in no time. ?? Great updates throughout the day were so appreciated.”

“Ciera and James have been very reliable in helping for Nahla Bear on my 14 hour days away for work while my partner is out of town! We are so appreciative that she gets out and is well cared for!”
About: I’ve grown up having dogs my whole life! After walking and looking after my own dogs, I started getting involved in walking and caring for friends and neighbors dogs since I was 13! I love taking my dog everywhere with me, I enjoy being around all types of dogs and puppies; I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am available from 10-6 Monday thru Saturday, I am in a transition period to my next job opportunity, and I’m here to help out when you need me while I’m searching for my next venture! Schedule will be updated with new hours when I get my next job opportunity! I am currently not offering boarding at this time, but for drop in check in visits I am here to keep your pets happy and looked after while they eagerly await your return!
About: I have walked and boarded dogs for 10 years. I am new to Rover. I love taking dogs for walks and getting them some exercise and enrichment. I work 9-5, with time for walks during lunch, before work, and in the evenings. Weekends can include up to three walks a day, including longer walks. At home, or with clients, dogs get a good watchful eye to ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. With an adventurous pup of my own, I am careful to remove any “escape opportunities”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages because I have always had dogs of my own. I provide loving, reliable care with plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I am comfortable with reactive dogs because I have one of my own. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and treat every dog like my own. I work at a coffee shop, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to caring for dogs and cats. I’m usually off early in the afternoon and available for the rest of the day and evening. Even on days when I close, I’m done by 7 PM, so I can still provide evening walks, drop-ins, and care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your dog and cat gets the attention and care they need. I always follow the safety procedures and guidelines that each client has in place for their pets. When caring for dogs, I make sure they are never left unattended in situations where I cannot keep an eye on them. I also have experience and training working with reactive dogs and safely walking dogs of different personalities and needs. I take safety seriously and want both the dogs and their owners to feel comfortable and confident in my care.
“Craig by far exceeded my expectations. I was worreid sick about leaving my pup. This is my first time using Rover, and I literally had only two days notice to find someone. Craig accomodated my last minute request to meet, and instantly I felt at ease with him. I travel once a month for work, and this latest trip is the first time I felt at peace and was not stressed out the entire trip with worry and regret. My pup adores him. He sent FANTASTIC pictures oftern, showed up as scheduled and communicated often with me. I can't say enough great things about him. Its so comforting to know we found such a caring and great human to help out with our fur baby. We are absolutely going to be repeat customers from this point on. 10/10!!”
About: I work from home, and am able to provide lots of love and attention to your pup! I live in a single family home with a fully fenced yard. Our small poodle mix loves to socialize and play with other dogs. I work from home, so I’m always home! I have availability for multiple daily walks and playtime. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times. I have a fully fenced back yard. There is also a large park to walk in (leashed) in my neighborhood. I can meet any feeding needs or special instructions.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles for over 15 years. I am familiar with the needs of senior animals and special diet or medication requirements. I am excited to get to care for your pets! I work 2 part time/ PRN positions as a phlebotomist which lets me create my schedule ahead of time, so I will have plenty of availability during the week or weekend to stop in or stay overnight. Pets cared for at your home will feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I will be able to play or take your pet for a walk around your own neighborhood.
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I am a responsible and reliable person who understands how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I grew up with animals, including dogs, cats, and a hamster. I currently have two cats, Draco and June! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities, including walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure they get the attention and care they need. I am patient, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and healthy. Whether your pet needs a walk, company while you’re away, or extra care during the day, I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine. I currently work a 9–5 Monday through Thursday and 9–1 on Fridays, and I have availability on weekends. I’m also able to help with pet care before or after my work hours if needed. I’m happy to coordinate schedules for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or check-ins to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I try to be flexible and work with owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the space and keep the environment clean and calm so pets feel safe in their familiar surroundings. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they are happy and well cared for. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.
“Emily was slightly outside our immediate area but I liked her profile and she was quick to respond. We’ve both been post surgery, then sick so our sweet boy had been cooped up for a couple days & was very excited to meet Emily. Once she learned he prefers park play over walks, she took him to one of his favorites and spent well over the allotted time both bookings. In turn, we had a very happy exercised Doodle who got to romp with pup pals.”
About: Hello, my name is Atticus! I worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, have been pet and house sitting for neighbors and friends for over 3 years, actively volunteer at a cat shelter since 2017, and have been walking dogs since I was a kid. I have 5 pets (one dog, three cats, and one snake) of my own, making me well versed in caring for a variety of animals. I work a sporadically scheduled contracted job 1 to 3 Saturdays a month that I'm very committed to. However, these jobs have never gotten in the way of my care towards my own animals and the animals I have pet sat for. I don't pet sit in my own home, as I can't be sure that my animals will 100% get along with a client's animal. I have slept over in guest rooms of the houses I have spent over night in, as well as having only been in the house with the pets during the day, all per the client's request. Whatever one's house looks like or whatever features one's house may have, I am always sure to respect boundaries, clean up after myself, and make sure the house is left looking better than when I arrived.
About: I have had three medium breeds and one small breed throughout my life. I have helped feed, walk, and play with all of them often. I am currently a college student with weekends, and a good amount of time during the week open. Saturday-Tuesday is preferable, other days are negotiable. I care for pets with compassion and patience. I give them as much love and attention as they ask for and respect their needs and space.
About: I have always had animals in my life. Cats, dogs, birds. I have cared for small and large breeds. Raised Rottweilers and our latest rescue is a Pitbull Mastiff mix from Boise Bully Breed. I have cared for pets with special needs also enjoy senior pets. I work part time from home with a very flexible schedule, just need a couple hours a week on my laptop. Available for day and night walks. Over nights work for me as well. Our 3 dogs and 1 cat are all very spoiled. The dogs are seniors so their exercise is always age appropriate. When we have foster pups they all step up for quiet play. Whenever I care for others pets I always want to specialize the care for what works best for the animal. I know my own pets are use to their routines and I think it's important to maintain those as pets can often get anxious when moms and dads are gone.
About: Hi there, fellow pet lovers! 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 dogs and cats! Consider me your trusted ally who is dedicated to enriching your pet's daily experience while simplifying yours. I grew up with Saint Bernards, so handling large dogs is second nature to me. Our home was always full of animals—strays, rescues, and the occasional “foster fail” who became family. We made room for whoever needed it, and that mindset has stayed with me ever since. I’m comfortable with a full range of pet temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure. I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your pet is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out! Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, playtime, 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 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.
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. When I was a kid I used to be told not to pet certain animals because they were deemed “unfriendly”, most of them time people were shocked when their animal would warm up to me after making such a statement. Animals are much more intelligent and empathetic than some people give them credit for. Give me a choice between a room full of humans or a room full of animals, and I’ll take the room full of animals every time. I started pet setting when I was 12 and I’ve been doing it on and off ever since. I used to have a dog, sadly he passed from heart failure and I’ve just barely gotten to the point where I’m thinking about getting another. I miss his energy and miss taking him on hikes and long walks. Getting up early is not a problem for me. I live right by the greenbelt so we will be going on lots of walks! At the moment my schedule is very open. I have 2 cats who love dogs, but I know not all dogs love cats. I am more than willing to come over and dog sit and even bring you pup In during the times I’m there as long as your pup likes cats, otherwise me walking your pup and boarding at your house would be better suited for all parties involved.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we always had two dogs at home, and I took pride in being the one to care for them. Daily walks—at least three times a day—became part of my routine, along with regular trips to the dog park. Over the years, I’ve trained my dogs to do their business outside and to interact well with other dogs and people. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Now, I have my own dog, whom I rescued three years ago, and he’s truly a joy. He’s incredibly sociable and loves being around other dogs. It would make me so happy for him to have some company every now and then! I work from home, which allows me to dedicate to caring for dogs. I’m also free on weekends, making it the perfect time for pet sitting. I truly love taking care of them! I treat all dogs with a lot of love and patience. I try to give them the best care. it's very important to give them love and care.
About: I have over 10 years of experience as an emergency vet tech. In addition to that have been a caring pet owner all of my adult life. Since becoming a human physical therapist I also got certified in canine physical therapy. We recently moved to Boise and I am currently working part time. I have time in the early morning and midday for longer walks and drop in visits. I love walking/light jogging. Seeing a dog enjoying a walk makes me so happy! Reducing a pets stress when their owner is out of town is important!

“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”

“Amanda is amazing! My two pups love staying at her house. Amanda adores her own dogs and treats them like family, and when my girls were with her they got the same attention, love, and care that she gives her own. I felt VERY comfortable leaving my dogs there for the first time. I knew they were in great hands and were living their best life while I was away. Amanda took them on lots of walks and sent many cute pictures and updates, too. She was also very willing and happy to do things the way our pups are used to at home. Thank you, Amanda! Poppy and Sunny will definitely be staying here again.”
