“Amy was absolutely awesome to our dog! We left him with her while we went to a lake resort for the weekend and when we picked him up we could tell he had a great time.”
“We loved our experience with Vicky and Bob! They had great communication throughout our trip, paid such great attention to our dog’s needs. And most importantly gave her all the love and snuggles! We will be booking with them forever!”
“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 🙂”
“Ashley is always fantastic with Lucy! She is great at sending me updates and Lucy loves her stays at there. When we arrived at her house, Lucy ran right to the front door excited to see Ashley!”
“Elise was so wonderful with our 3 year old Irish doodle and our 5 month old toy schnauzer puppy! It was our first time boarding them with anyone who isn’t family, and we weren’t sure how they’d do. I’m sure we were more concerned than we needed to be, but she was so great communicating with us beforehand and reassuring us. She was so sweet with them when they met her, and we weren’t surprised at all that they warmed up to her so quickly. We could tell that she really cares, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone for over a week. When we went to pick our pups up at the end of our trip, they were healthy and happy, and we were so appreciative of all her efforts. We would definitely rebook with Elise and also recommend her to friends in search of a pet sitter. Thanks, Elise!”
“Lori was SO AMAZING with my 2 labs. I’m a nervous mama and she shared so many pictures and updates with me I can’t tell you how much I appreciated it! They are zonked out after pick up from all the walks and hikes! 10/10 will definitely book again!”
“Tina was terrific. She takes care to be sure your dog is comfortable with her place. She has lots of space for your dog to run. Chickens, geese and rabbits to entertain the dogs. We will definitely go back to her for our future boarding needs.”
“Sylvia is truly a “dog whisperer”. I was so worried about leaving our dog (who thinks he’s human) and she was incredible. I received daily updates and she literally transformed this dog from a protective alpha to a charming alpha. I adore her! She was made for this.”
“Amber was great. Our dog Jake was very happy and made himself at home. Amber kept us informed with daily photos. She is obviously a dog lover. We were very pleased with her service.”
“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!”
“Moya is amazing. I cannot recommend her high enough. I have an older dog so am always very careful with where I place him and she immediately put my worries to ease. Great communication before, during, and after. Family environment which was perfect for my dog. It felt more like an extension of my own care for my dog than trying to fit him into a different environment. Thank you Moya!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Teaira (and her family!) were super sweet with my dog and were flexible and accommodating. She was well taken care of and it was so nice to not have to worry while we were away! I would definitely use her again to watch my pup.”
“Karin was great ! I dont know how she does it all between dog sitting & being a mom, but she does a great job. Seems to be a total natural response that she loves dogs. She had my dog, Stella,for a week and would send pics often. Stella was well taken care of. Thank you !”
“They took such great care of our two mastiffs. We knew we were dropping them off in good hands for the weekend we were out of town and didn't have to worry at all. Thank you both so much! 💗”

“Amazing she went above and beyond! My cat loved her! She watered my plants and check the mail too! Such an amazing human! Would 10/10 hire for any pet sitting needs!”
“Christin watched over my house (and cat) while I was gone for almost a month. The house looks the same as when I left and the kitty is very happy! Christin did a great job!”
“Nicole is fantastic! She is reliable, has good communication, and our cat loves her. We could rest easy on vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. She even went above and beyond- though we didn't ask her to, she vacuumed and tidied up prior to our return home. I highly recommend Nicole.”
“Drew was amazing! I was already out of town when something came up with my cat sitter and Drew jumped in right away to save the day! He was excellent and gave my needy cat so much attention and care. Everything was clean and cared for when I came home and I walked in to a happy healthy kitty. Thank you!!”
“Tiffany cared for my two cats while my pup and I went camping for a weekend. I had no service during the entire trip, which would normally make me feel anxious about leaving pets at home, but I was confident that they were in good hands! Once I got service again, I caught up on all the detailed updates Tiffany provided about my happy kitties.”
About: I grew up around cats, and in my adulthood have had cats of my own. They are easily one of my favorite parts of life. People tend to label cats as low maintenance, which can be true, but I know no one cat is the same! Some need lots of affection, play, alone time, or even cardboard boxes to hide in! I understand their body language well, and have gotten skilled at detecting their needs. Whether hissy, shy, independent, or needy, I am capable of handling it all. Whatever kind of cat you have, I promise I am prepared to look after them. :)
“Bailey took such great care of our cat while we were out of town. She even vacuumed & swept the cat hair without being asked. Very easy to work with and got updates right on time every day. Would definitely want to work with her again!”
“Excellent care was given to my babies. Adrie is punctual, kind and respectful. She played with my kitties and they seemed overall very happy when I returned from my trip.”
“Stephanie is amazing! Her storytelling of her visits get me every time and it makes me feel like I’m there with them and I know she’s enjoying her time with my furry love bug 🐈⬛ HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Cambra was great! Scheduling and coordinating everything was very smooth, and she took the extra time to coax our cat out and make sure he got a little quality time. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Sarah always does a fantastic job. Its always scary leaving my very senior (and grumpy) kitty in someone else's hands but I know he is well cared for by Sarah. I hope to continue to book with her for all my future trips.”

“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!!”
“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!”
“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”
“Amy was awesome!! I had a last minute cancelation and she was able to watch rizzy short notice. Love the pictures she sent of rizzy being right at home and hanging out.”
“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.”
“Fantastic dog sitters! Zia loved running in their spacious backyard. She went for walks, played with toys and got much needed love and attention. Zia runs right up to their door excited every day. Great communication with lots of pics and videos. We highly recommend!”
About: I’ve dog-sat since I was 7 for neighbors and grandparents, and I’ve had dogs my whole life. I truly love animals, especially dogs, with my whole heart. I’ve fostered 9‑week‑old golden retriever puppies until they were adopted. When I moved to Boise for college, one of the hardest parts was not having my dog with me every day, caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life so I am excited to spend time with your dog! I just graduated from Boise State, so my schedule is very open right now! I have plenty of time to check in on dogs, take them for walks, and spend quality time with them. I live in an apartment with a small balcony and direct access to the greenbelt, which makes on-leash walks very easy! When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow each dog's normal routine, whether that is walks, playtime, feeding, and, of course plenty of affection! I truly love dogs, so I will go the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy!
“Haylie has been great for doggy daycare for my dog, Nugget! Communicates and always sends photo updates. Definitely recommend and will continue to use her for watching my dog!”
About: I have had Dogs my whole life. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs. I have taken care of friends and families pets throughout the years. I can administer medications if required. I I am semi-retired and work remotely from my home in the late evenings. I am able to give my full attention to your dogs wants and needs. Any time day or night. Pick up and drop off if needed. Any weather. I am reliable, mature, and very attentive to your pets. They will have a day full of activity, treats, and love. I treat your fur babies as if they were mine. Days full of walks and playtime, meals and hydration. I can stick to your schedule for meals, medications, and sleep. I am able to stop by, pick up and drop off, or board them overnight. Stop by with poop pick up services also. I know the anguish it is when having to leave your dogs in someone else care. I can assure you they will be safe and supervised 24/7. I can send updates and pics/videos throughout their stay with me. You can feel assured your dog will be in good hands while you go about your day/night or vacation.
“They did amazing with my two Shih Tzus you can tell they felt safe and enjoyed their time there . I most definitely would take them again if I’m ever around the area visiting . They send you pictures for updated that’s a big yay 🙂 thank you so much for caring for my two pups .”
“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter! Kelly was so warm, welcoming, and flexible with our timing. Coco immediately felt at home and had a wonderful time playing with Deyo. Kelly went above and beyond by sharing local recommendations that helped us make the most of our quick Boise visit. We had complete peace of mind knowing Coco was in such caring hands. We are incredibly grateful and would happily book with her again!”
“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!”

She made it super easy to set up the visits and always sends a photo or two so I know how he is doing during the day. She’s gives him his treat before he goes so he has something to do to keep him busy for a little longer which helps me feel better about the day alone. He’s been doing great with the transition and seems happy being home which is great!”

About: I am always the first person to volunteer to petsit because my parents did not want pets when I was growing up! So I am of course the cool aunt and/or godmother to many of my friends and familys pets. Consider me the cool mom. Snacks and snuggles are ready for your pet at all times! I currently work remotely so I have an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to petsit when I want! I can go on walks, cuddle, and feed your pet whenever they need! I happily petsit at my clients house so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own spaces. I will ensure your house stays clean and tidy during my stay!
About: I have extensive pet care experience that began at a young age. I started my own dog-walking business at 12 years old, providing regular walks and basic care for multiple dogs. Since the age of 14, I have had a dog in my family and have been responsible for daily care, including feeding, exercise, and companionship. I have also provided overnight dog-sitting in clients’ homes on one or two occasions, ensuring pets were cared for in a calm, familiar environment. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am currently a college student majoring in nursing with a flexible schedule, and I am hoping to fill some of my free time caring for and spending time with pet friends. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I do not have other employment commitments, which allows me to dedicate ample time and availability to pet care. For dog care, I typically take at least one walk each day on my own time, so bringing a dog along would be no issue. For in-home services, I ensure pets are let outside for bathroom breaks, receive playtime and exercise, and are given plenty of attention and affection. This may include a walk if requested by the owner. I am also able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, during which I can quietly work on homework while ensuring the pet feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for.
About: I’ve lived with cats of my own my whole life. I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats since I was 8. I’ve always grown up around dogs and have a love for any and all pets! I am a full time student at Boise State University, but have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to care for your pets whenever is needed. In my home we have an open loving environment for our cat that has all the essentials needed for her to thrive. I can take care of your animal in any way that you prefer and that is fitting for them.
“Stephanie is professional and a true animal lover. She is responsive to all of Rocky’s needs and appreciates his idiosyncrasies. Very responsive to communication and goes the extra mile.”
“Linda did an excellent job with our two dogs. They were happy to see Linda when she came to take them on their daily walk. Linda was great from before the start. To begin there was a list of people to choose from. First contact from Linda before saying she would walk our dogs she asked if there was a time she could meet our dogs. At first meeting the dogs were found of Linda who asked questions and listened to our concerns as well as instructions. Linda did a wonderful job and we would recommend her to any and everyone. Thank you Linda and Rover!”
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: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting on and off for the past two years and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide services such as dog sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I do my best to follow routines closely and provide care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I currently have a nine-year-old Lab/Beagle mix named Lucy, who is still very high energy, so I’m comfortable caring for active dogs and pets with different temperaments. Growing up with dogs and having pet-sitting experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals. My availability is currently completely open, as I’m home from college for the summer. I’m not working full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and quality time with your pets. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and my goal is always to provide dependable care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for! I am currently home from college, so I have lots of free time during the day and nights! I love taking care and hanging out with pets! I grew up with a very high energy dog, as well as aggressive dogs in the family. I know how to handle just about any type of dog, whatever meets your needs!

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.

Poppy and Sunny will definitely be staying here again.”

I had great communication with Alisa while I was away and she sent pictures and videos that were so special to see! I would highly recommend Alisa!”
