Highly-rated overnight sitters - Stewart Gulch
“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.”
“Bob and Vicky are the best dog sitters. They take care of my dog with love. They share photos and videos every day which is so great. I really appreciate everything what they did for my dog, Coco.”
“My dog Beaver stayed with Lori and had a blast! I could tel when I picked him up he loved her and her family very much. She sent pictures each day of how he was doing and what fun adventures they went on that day. I highly recommend Lori.”
“thank you so much for watching my sterling!! Elise was amazing and kept me updated on my kitty! they also have a huge house with a big backyard, so if you are looking to board your dog-you came to the right place!! thanks so much for taking in sterling and caring for him!! <333”
“Jazzi took such good care of Finn while I was out of town! She was able to accommodate a very last minute booking and exceeded all my hopes for a dog sitter. She updated me with pictures and I could tell he was loving his time with her and the other pups!”
“Loved how Ashley took care of my baby! I am so happy and grateful I came across Ashely's profile to look after my dog Lina. Ashley and her family took such good care of Lina. Ashley sent me pictures twice everyday and was quick with communication. Thank you Ashely! Will definitely come back!”
“I booked Tasha for my dog Milo and had a great experience! You can tell Tasha cares for her clients (and their owners). I got many updates thoroughout the day including pictures! I would definitely use Tasha again. I especially loved the report card after we got back from our trip. It’s nice to know that I didn’t have to worry about Milo during our vacation. He was well taken care of, highly recommend Tasha.”
“Amanda was a perfect sitter for my hunting dog Wrigley. Given all the exercise she needed, Wrigley was allowed to socialize/play with Amanda’s two golden retrievers, was fed well, and was thoughtfully protected from the summer heat. This included early morning walks before the heat of the day. Amanda provided photos, videos and feedback to keep me apprised of Wrigley’s overall health, allowing me to more fully enjoy my time away. Wrigley quickly became part of Amanda’s family, and I am confident Wrigley received the best care possible. I highly recommend Amanda for your dog sitting needs.”
“Super kind family! Very warm and welcoming to our dog & sent us great updates. Highly recommend if you want your dog to be well looked-after and loved!”
“We hate leaving our precious lab Lucy when we go out of town but felt she was in great hands with Bobbie. She obviously loves dogs and treated Lucy like a part of her family. Bobbie was very flexible and accommodating with our schedule and we really appreciated that, and we’ll definitely ask her to watch Lucy in the future.”
“Great experience with Eva! Ezzy was well cared for the the pictures that I received were so cute! She looked very happy! Awesome communication and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Shannon was fantastic with our pug Steve! Her communication was excellent and incredibly quick, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. She gave us peace of mind that Steve was in caring hands. Would recommend Shannon to any other dog parents.”
“Kristina was amazing with our senior Westie with some special needs. She made sure everyone was comfortable at drop off, gave plenty of updates with photos, and took great care of Tucker. She is clearly an experienced pet owner and sitter and we would definitely have Tucker stay with her again!”
“Kelsey took amazing care of my husky! He can be a handful sometimes so I worry about leaving him with people who don’t know him very well. He had an amazing time! Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Meghan is amazing. She sent me the cutest pictures and kept me in the loop with respect to my dog's stay. My golden retriever had the time of her life and personal attention! With the big beautiful backyard, the dogs are in heaven!”
“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!”
“Junior and Teddy had a ball!! They made new friends and received a lot of cuddles. ❤️ Angela was great at sending pictures and keeping me posted on their shenanigans! The boys will be excited for our next vacation so they can go visit!”
“You know that sinking feeling when you leave your precious dog with someone else? You WILL NOT get that feeling here!! Their home is welcoming and our dog was comfortable as soon as he entered. Debbie and Ryan treated him as their own. Communications and pictures were sent regularly and it gave us the most comfortable feeling to know that he was well cared for. We may need to start taking more vacations so he can visit more often! Thank you!!”

“Kelsey was wonderful! The daily updates about our cat and her willingness to help water our garden were so helpful. She even alerted us immediately to a water leak in our house while we were gone and we appreciate her communication so much. We will definitely have her back in the future!”
“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.”
About: 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. During visits, I follow your cat's lead: playtime, gentle brushing, cozy companionship, or just respectful presence, whatever your kitty tells me they want. I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your cat is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out! I'm also experienced in administering medications and injections to cats. I'm sensitive to, and know the importance of, timing medications appropriately with visits, so their doses stay on schedule. Be sure to let me know these details! Bonus points if your kitty enjoys a stroll...I've got years of experience with kitty leash training and stroller walks. Just say the word, and we’re off for a feline field trip around the neighborhood.
“Niamh was TERRIFIC! She came over before I left to have me show her around and let her know where things are and I instantly felt at ease. She is professional and so very caring about pets in her charge. She sent over a daily picture and comments about what was done while I was out of town and I was so appreciative. it's such a relief to have found a pet sitter who is so considerate, professional and who takes the time to learn how she can best support our fur babes!”
About: I’ve been around cats for the majority of my life. My sister-in-law moved in with us at one point and I got to hangout with her cats a lot! They were out of town a lot so I had to take care of the kitties while they were away.
“Adrianna was great watching my cat Cooper for a week. Cooper is a very nervous and shy guy when it comes to almost anyone but myself, so I was prepared to hear about him hiding quite a bit. Adrianna was very respectful to give them that space he clearly wanted, but also did her best to make him get comfortable around her. About half way through her visits he finally came around which made me feel better about leaving my kitty; and based on the photos, my kitty loved spending time with her. Overall great communication and attentive to Cooper’s needs! Would definitely feel comfortable having Adrianna watch Cooper again!”
“Jordan did a fantastic job with our drop in visits! She arrived on time and made sure our pups had ample play time. She provided photos and a summary after each visit. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover/owner and a semi-retired professional with plenty of time and attention to give. Whether your cat is playful, shy, snuggly, or independent, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I can reliably handle daily feedings, litter box care, playtime, brushing, snuggles, and all the gentle companionship your cat enjoys. My flexible schedule means I can visit at consistent times or adjust to your cat’s routine as needed. Your cat’s well-being is my priority, and I take pride in providing calm, attentive care so you can travel with peace of mind.
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 5 years old! They are by far my favorite creature on Earth. I have 2 handsome boys of my own who I cherish deeply. I can administer medications needed and am more than happy to clean your cat's litter box.
“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: 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, 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.
“Amelia was so great with Sleepy Kitty! I consistently received updates and photos of my girl during visits. She made sure to come by beforehand and get to meet me and Sleepy, and see where her food, litter, and treats were prior to sitting. All litter was taken outside and she cleaned up Sleepy’s accident for me. Amelia made sure my needy Sleepy Kitty got all the snuggles she wanted! Plus, she helped lug in my million packages from Amazon all week haha! Looking forward to booking with Amelia again in the future, would absolutely recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Stewart Gulch
“Although we only required a few hours of dog sitting, I was impressed by Elise’s caring and engaged personality. Will definitely keep her in mind when back in Boise and if sitting is necessary.”
About: I grew up on a ranch and raised baby animals which gave me lots of experience with raising animals of all ages. I'm currently home schooling my 4 year old so my schedule is pretty flexible! I'm homeschooling my 4 year old son so my schedule is pretty flexible and I'll have plenty of extra time to take care of your pets while you're away I have a large backyard that is fenced. I have 2 dogs to keep your pup company or I can keep them separated if needed. I can also aid in crate training
“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”
“My family and I were visiting from out of state and wanted to go to the zoo so we needed last minute doggy daycare. DeHanna was so responsive when messaging. She was kind and understanding with my girls needs. When I picked my girl she showed no signs of stress and was super happy. I would book with her again! Highly recommend and thank 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.”
“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 !”
“Amanda was great! She sent me photos and videos throughout the day. Ryder had a blast. Very nice and respectful. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone to watch/take care of their pups!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life and have been fostering with the humane society for many years. I currently have an golden of my own and we love to explore new areas in the foothills, around the greenbelt, or even the beautiful sights up bogus. I usually pet sit for family friends, but would love to meet some new floofs! I'm currently working part time, and have a pretty open schedule for this summer! Every week is different, but I'm available almost every weekday and most weekends. My backyard is secure and big dog approved with plenty of room to run around. There is a toy basket inside, but somehow the whole yard gets transformed into a dog toy wonderland. As for any homes that I may visit, I will ensure everything is how I found it and will give your pet all the attention they need without overstepping their boundaries.
“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.”
“Megan was amazing! I felt comfortable, like my dog was safe and in good hands. She made sure to send me pictures and keep me updated throughout the day which I appreciated!”
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!
About: Hi! I'm Adam, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have always been the go-to person for friends and neighbors when they needed someone they could trust with their furry family members. Most recently, I shared life with my red heeler, Rusty, who was a bundle of energy with a huge personality. We had an incredible bond, and I learned so much about what it means to care for a high-energy, high-intelligence breed. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to him not long ago, but I’m so grateful for the time we had. He reminded me how much joy dogs bring to everyday life—and how much care and attention they deserve. Now, I’d love to help others by offering the same love and attention to your dog as I did for mine. Whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or just keeping them company while you're away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. I'm able to take regular breaks to walk, play with, or check in on pets as needed. I also run some mornings, so if your dog enjoys a little extra exercise, I’d be happy to bring them along (with your approval, of course!). Whether it’s active time or quiet companionship, I can easily fit your pet’s needs into my day. When caring for pets in my home, they’ll have access to a small, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time, and I live just a short walk from a wide-open park—perfect for walks, playtime, or just a good sniff around. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where your dog can feel safe and comfortable. If I’m visiting your pet at your home or housesitting, you can count on me to treat your space with the same care and respect I give my own. I'm a very neat person, and I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I also love biking and walking around town, so I’m happy to stop by for visits or longer stays depending on what your pet needs.
About: Hi, I’m Megan! 🐾 For the past 7+ years I have devoted my life to caring for animals! Currently working as a shelter clinic manager, I have plenty of experience with both medical and behavioral sides of animal care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities while they’re in my care. I also have extra help at home! My sister lacy, who is a stay-at-home pet lover with pet-sitting experience, helps provide additional attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. This means your pet gets plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and love—even when life gets busy. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go on walks, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, medications (including oral meds and all injection route's if needed), seniors, and those who may need a little extra TLC. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet behind, so I will provide as much communication as possible so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I treat every pet like family and strive to make their stay feel like a fun, safe “vacation” while you’re away. Pricing information: For Boise specifically, most sitters seem to fall into these ranges: * Budget/new sitter: $25–$35/night * Average experienced sitter: $40–$55/night * Very experienced/medical care or constant supervision: $60–$90+/night Since you work in vet med and have shelter/medical experience, if you were pet sitting at your house, you could likely charge on the higher end—especially if you’re comfortable with meds, seniors, post-op care, injections, etc. A vet-tech level sitter in Boise could reasonably start around $50–$75/night per dog. Availability & Schedule 🐾 I work Sunday–Wednesday, but your pet will still receive plenty of love, attention, and care! I have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday fully off, allowing for lots of one-on-one time, walks, playtime, and cuddles. To make sure pets always have companionship and supervision, my sister is home 100% of the time as a stay-at-home animal lover with pet-sitting experience. Between the two of us, your pet will have consistent care, attention, potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. Our Home Environment 🐾 We strive to provide a fun, loving, and safe home-away-from-home experience for every pet in our care! Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run, sniff, explore, and play safely. We also have three smaller, friendly dogs who love making new friends (while always respecting each pet’s comfort level and personality). Whether your pup enjoys playing, cuddling, or relaxing, we make sure they feel comfortable and included. There are plenty of cozy dog beds, toys, treats, and attention to go around! We treat every pet like family and do our best to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Safety, supervision, love, and lots of tail wags are always our priority.
“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’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.
About: As a passionate and reliable pet care provider and owner, I offer personalized services tailored to meet the unique needs of each pet. Whether it’s dog walking, overnight sitting, or playtime, I ensure your furry friends receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. With a genuine love for animals and years of experience, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners I work part time at the moment as a veterinary assistant so I have plenty of spare time to offer you and your pets! Can’t wait to get started! I understand how important your pet’s routine is and will follow any specific care instructions you provide to ensure they feel at home and safe. I have a fully fenced in yard which means your fur baby is completely safe to run around and stretch their paws! I’m very careful not leave any dangerous objects lying around that little snouts may sniff out and try to devour.
“My puppy Zapp had a great time at her house! He had a nice yard to play in, and was welcomed in the home to hang out on the couches and play with her kids. I am so relieved to know he was treated like one of the family! Another person I tried booking with was planning on just kenneling him for hours- which to me sounds awful and I could just do on my own if I really wanted to. I 100% recommend Annabel and will be happy to leave Zapp in her home again when needed!”

About: For over 20 years I’ve trained and cared for my own dogs while also walking, sitting, and loving on countless others. I’ve cared for many cats over the years too. Animals are truly my happy place, and I’d love to give yours the same comfort and attention. My availability is pretty open for the summer months. Although I am not available for overnights, I can assist in the mornings, afternoons or evenings just about every day. I understand that each animal has different needs and am able to adapt to their routine. I treat every animal like my own and aim to ensure they are comfortable and happy at all times. Their space will be well respected and remain their safe space while in my care.
About: - Experience caring for many different animals (dogs, cats, farm animals, etc) - Knowledge in senior and disabled animal care - Experience handling/giving needed supplements and medications I am currently a full time student at OSU but I do have a pretty flexible schedule and would love to provide any pet care needed (if available)!

I’d love to discuss and/or meet to see how I can offer you the best pet care possible! I offer pet care both within my own home and at your own. I typically prefer pet sitting for longer periods of time to be done in the employer’s home as it ensures more comfort and safety for your pet. But feel free to message me to discuss any care details/needs! Additionally, I do also offer the service of walking you pet and drop in visits (more availability in these)!!
About: Hi there, fellow pet lovers! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by...

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.
“Elise is a wonderful person. She did a great job with Rocky. She is very punctual and responsible. I love that she kept me up-to-date and sent pictures throughout! Would definitely recommend her! Thank you Elise!”
About: I’ve owned cats or dogs pretty much my entire life. Currently, I own a border collie mix and love spending time with her. I love getting to know other animals and have dog/cat sitting experience with neighbor's pets also. Currently, I’m working as an on call wildland firefighter that should get going here in about the next few months or so. I’m pretty much always available, unless I will be on a fire. I love interacting and getting to know pets in general. I also prioritize communication with the owners to keep them informed of what is going on.
“Bailey did a great job walking Jasper! She was very attentive to his needs (he’s a senior dog) and was excellent at following instructions for treat puzzles etc. Thank you so much, Bailey!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for 9 years. I have also pet sat for friends and family for about 8 years which has included walking, bathing, house sitting, and general care. Typically I am free whenever you need me! I usually do 1-2 drop in’s per day if my clients are out of town, but I can always do more if requested! I do not have my own place at the moment so I am not able to board pets but I will be respectful of clients homes and am willing to do whatever it is that you need!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old, when I bought my own puppy with the money I had saved up. I love dogs with all my heart, currently I do not have a pooch of my own, so I would love to meet yours and help you care for them! I am currently a stay-at-home parent to my 3 children(12, 10, and 7). I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and am wanting to start creating bonds with your pet! I have a somewhat large fully fenced yard, so I am willing to take dogs to my home for a few hours! Currently my cats rule the roost, so I will not let any other animals in my home, but they are welcome in my back yard and I will spend time with them there!

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 am semi-retired and a pet lover with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your cats or dogs the care and attention they deserve. As someone who has owned both dogs and cats, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, companionship, or quiet company, I’m glad to hang out and keep them entertained. For dogs who love getting out and exploring, I’m also happy to take them on walks. I can visit more than once a day if needed, and I always aim to make each visit a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I have a very flexible schedule as I am semi-retired. I can work around your scheduling needs. We can discuss your needs and create a schedule that works for you and your pet. I currently only care for pets on their own home. Before caring for your pet, I will come and visit you and your pet(s). I like to keep a pet's daily routine consistent. It is important to me that you do not worry about your pet while you are away so I will follow any directions you have for while you are away.
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: 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.
“Emily has been consistently great walking our dog. When we went on vacation, she went out of her way-above and beyond what we asked of her. I was able to put my mind at ease the whole time. ”
About: I’ve always been the go-to for my neighbors when it came to dog sitting or watching them when they were out running errands! I’ve also grown up with dogs and I’m great at working with all types of behaviors and different personalities so if you have an anxious pup I have no problem working with them:) I work from 8-5 on weekdays so I would use my hour long lunch to come and hangout with your pup or I could also come after work. I always make sure to choose friendly paths for dogs to walk on and do my research to ensure they will have plenty of time to walk around and sniff on their walks.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for around 8 years now, family friends and neighbors often rely on me to check in and feed their pets. I’ve also been a vet tech for 2 years so I have plenty of experience with medications and any medical needs. I have a flexible job and only work about 27 hours a week, so pet care is a natural part of my days. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick visit or spending extra cuddle time, I’m able to fit my schedule around each pet’s needs. I believe every pet feels happiest when their routine stays familiar, so I always follow your pet’s normal schedule and comfort level. Whether that means dropping in for regular check-ins, going on walks or runs that match their usual pace, or keeping their space calm and tidy, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for just like they do when you’re home. My goal is to make their time with me as stress-free and comfortable as possible.

“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.”
“My dog Beaver stayed with Lori and had a blast! I could tel when I picked him up he loved her and her family very much. She sent pictures each day of how he was doing and what fun adventures they went on that day. I highly recommend Lori.”
“thank you so much for watching my sterling!! Elise was amazing and kept me updated on my kitty! they also have a huge house with a big backyard, so if you are looking to board your dog-you came to the right place!! thanks so much for taking in sterling and caring for him!! <333”
“Jazzi took such good care of Finn while I was out of town! She was able to accommodate a very last minute booking and exceeded all my hopes for a dog sitter. She updated me with pictures and I could tell he was loving his time with her and the other pups!”
“I booked Tasha for my dog Milo and had a great experience! You can tell Tasha cares for her clients (and their owners). I got many updates thoroughout the day including pictures! I would definitely use Tasha again. I especially loved the report card after we got back from our trip. It’s nice to know that I didn’t have to worry about Milo during our vacation. He was well taken care of, highly recommend Tasha.”
“Amanda was a perfect sitter for my hunting dog Wrigley. Given all the exercise she needed, Wrigley was allowed to socialize/play with Amanda’s two golden retrievers, was fed well, and was thoughtfully protected from the summer heat. This included early morning walks before the heat of the day. Amanda provided photos, videos and feedback to keep me apprised of Wrigley’s overall health, allowing me to more fully enjoy my time away. Wrigley quickly became part of Amanda’s family, and I am confident Wrigley received the best care possible. I highly recommend Amanda for your dog sitting needs.”
“Super kind family! Very warm and welcoming to our dog & sent us great updates. Highly recommend if you want your dog to be well looked-after and loved!”
“We hate leaving our precious lab Lucy when we go out of town but felt she was in great hands with Bobbie. She obviously loves dogs and treated Lucy like a part of her family. Bobbie was very flexible and accommodating with our schedule and we really appreciated that, and we’ll definitely ask her to watch Lucy in the future.”
“Shannon was fantastic with our pug Steve! Her communication was excellent and incredibly quick, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. She gave us peace of mind that Steve was in caring hands. Would recommend Shannon to any other dog parents.”
“Meghan is amazing. She sent me the cutest pictures and kept me in the loop with respect to my dog's stay. My golden retriever had the time of her life and personal attention! With the big beautiful backyard, the dogs are in heaven!”
“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!”
“You know that sinking feeling when you leave your precious dog with someone else? You WILL NOT get that feeling here!! Their home is welcoming and our dog was comfortable as soon as he entered. Debbie and Ryan treated him as their own. Communications and pictures were sent regularly and it gave us the most comfortable feeling to know that he was well cared for. We may need to start taking more vacations so he can visit more often! Thank you!!”
“Sean is the best! First time doing pick up and drop off with him with our dog Siggy and it went really smooth. Siggy always loves seeing Sean and has the best time with him when we go on trips”
“Alisa was great! She communicated well with me and made sure to send pictures and updates so I felt very good about our puppy while we were gone! I would absolutely use her again and recommend her!”
“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!!”
“Jess is absolutely fantastic. This was our first time using Rover and Jess set the bar high. She is kind, accommodating, and courteous. She gave daily updates on our little buddy and I know that he was extremely pampered and well taken care of. Thanks so much again for everything Jess, and for getting us in last minute. You are the best!”
“My dog had a fantastic weekend with Amanda and her family. They were wonderful and very patient with Whiskey who is rather shy with strangers, but she warmed up quickly and was treated like family.”
