“Kara and her husband were very nice and made our pups really welcome and happy. They took them for walks in the snow and they loved it. We look forward to seeing them again in the future.”
“What a great experience our girls had with such a nice family. Walks, playing in the creek, hugs and tons of love. As soon as we got home, the dogs just passed out from all of the play-time. Definitely would recommend Meg and her family and we'll certainly be using them again.”
“Absolutely! Here’s a short raving review as the dog owner, reviewing the sitter: I couldn’t be happier with the care Kiwi received - she came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved! Elizabeth sent us cute photos of the dogs and gave Kiwi a great hike. I’ll definitely be booking again when I need to and highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“Liza and her daughter were the absolute best! I can’t recommend them enough! We booked last minute and they were extremely accommodating and the kindest people. They took Charlie for hikes and swimming. We felt so comfortable leaving Charlie with these two and I would highly recommend them if you are visiting Jackson!”
“Randy was absolutely fantastic watching Ranger! She was very kind, communicative, took Ranger for hikes in a nearby creek and made him feel right at home. I was able to explore the Tetons with total peace of mind, and my little boy was glowing when I picked him up. We hope to book again one day!”
“Meredith was wonderful with my 2 cavaliers! I could tell tell they were very comfortable with her. My husband and I were able to spen a day exploring Yellowstone knowing our dogs were safe and comfortable!”

“I am so happy with our experience with Gabriela. We were in town for a few days and wanted to hike some trails where dogs aren’t allowed. We boarded our dog Libby with Gabriela for a few days and it seemed to go great! Libby loved Gabriela and her dog. Our Libby is very energetic and requires oral medications — Gabriela seemed great with this. She also was an excellent communicator both leading up to and during the booking. I highly recommend Gabriella — I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Our dog was lucky enough to stay with Lauren recently while we were visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Lauren and her family seemed to adore my dog and treated her like another member of the family, even letting her sleep in their bed! Lauren responded promptly to my inquiries for how she was doing, and even though I had poor cell signal in the national parks, I felt confident that my dog was in great hands! Lauren is gentle and easy-going and my dog was immediately at ease. I would use her again if we are ever in the area!”

I also like to make sure that the clients pets get enough time outside and are comfortable and happy while their owner is away. Making sure that the clients pet is happy is a priority.

About: What Sets Me Apart For me, dog sitting isn’t just a job—dogs are my absolute best friends, my ultimate road trip companions, and my favorite hiking buddies. I know firsthand that your pup isn’t just a pet; they are a member of your family, and I treat them exactly like my own. What truly sets me apart is that I have successfully navigated almost every stage of a dog’s life, from the boundless energy of puppyhood to the tender, specialized care required in a dog's golden years. Because I also have a professional background in long-term, high-trust childcare, providing a reliable, safe, and highly communicative environment is second nature to me. My Services & Activities Whether your dog thrives on a quiet routine or loves to be on the go, I adapt to their personality. I offer dedicated dog walking, drop-in visits, and personalized house sitting. My style of pet care includes: Outdoor Adventures: Perfect for high-energy dogs who love hiking, exploring trails, and getting plenty of intense physical stimulation and fresh mountain air. Social & City Manners: I love taking well-behaved pups along for coffee shop runs or car rides, ensuring they get mental enrichment, positive reinforcement, and healthy socialization. Homebody Comfort: For seniors or anxious pups, I am entirely content slowing things down, keeping them cozy, and giving them all the belly rubs and focused companionship they deserve. Every walk or visit includes fresh water top-offs, standard feeding or medication administration if needed, and a detailed update with plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind. Schedule & Availability I work on a flexible, part-time schedule, which means I am not tied to a rigid 9-to-5 office job or a daily commute. This flexibility gives me dedicated, open blocks of time throughout the week to fully commit to your pet. When I am booked for a service, your dog gets my absolute, undivided attention, ensuring their daily routines remain consistent and uninterrupted. Deep Senior Care Experience I spent over 15 wonderful years caring for my previous dog, supporting him through every single life stage from the day he was adopted to his senior years. I understand the patience, gentle touch, and intuition it takes to care for aging pets, whether that means managing strict medication schedules, monitoring mobility, or just providing a calm, comforting presence. Puppyhood & Training Know-How Currently, I am raising my 10.5-month-old English Labrador, Eggs Benedict. If you have a younger pup, you can rest assured I am well-versed in the daily consistency required for puppyhood. I am actively involved in training, reinforcing good manners, and maintaining crucial routines so your pup stays on track while you're away. When your dog is with me, they don't just get a sitter—they get a dedicated companion who understands their needs, respects their routines, and loves them like family. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it is my daily lifestyle. I currently raise a 10.5-month-old puppy, so my home naturally runs on a structured schedule of crate training, active outdoor exercise, regular potty breaks, and daily training reinforcement. Professionally, I work in childcare Monday through Thursday. My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily step away to pop home, walk dogs, and keep precise feeding and medication schedules perfectly on track. On any given week, a guest dog seamlessly integrates into an active, enriched routine. This includes neighborhood walks, social playdates with trusted neighborhood dogs, and plenty of outdoor time. Because I am already deeply committed to maintaining my own puppy's routine, keeping to your dog’s specific daily schedule—whether they need high-energy hikes or structured crate and rest time—comes naturally to me. Safety First, Always With over six years of professional experience in childcare, safety and situational awareness are second nature to me. I bring that same high level of vigilance, patience, and risk management to pet care. Whether at my home or yours, I am expert at anticipating a dog's needs, managing environments to prevent accidents, and reading canine body language to ensure they always feel secure. In My Home: Structured, Active, and Secure When a dog stays with me, they enter a home tailored for a happy, balanced dog life. Because I am currently raising a 10.5-month-old English Lab, my environment is fully puppy-proofed, secure, and organized around a predictable routine. Compatibility & Socialization: I love hosting friendly guest dogs who enjoy a bit of playtime. We do structured doggy playdates with my close circle of trusted friends and their dogs, ensuring all social interactions are safe, positive, and supervised. Routine & Rest: I am a big believer in the balance of physical exercise and proper rest. My home is set up for successful crate training and designated quiet time, ensuring your dog gets the decompression they need after a fun day. In Your Home: Respectful and Attentive If I am caring for your pet in your home, my priority is maintaining their absolute comfort and peace of mind. Keeping to Their Schedule: I strictly adhere to your established house rules, feeding times, and crating routines so your dog experiences zero disruption while you are away. Home Security & Cleanliness: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My flexible schedule allows me to make regular check-ins to ensure your pet is never left lonely or waiting for a potty break. No matter the setting, my goal is to build a foundation of trust with both you and your pup, ensuring they are safe, happy, and treated like family.

“Olivia is the best! I felt so comforted knowing my cat Kermit was well cared for while I was away. She took the time to play with him, going above and beyond with her services. I will be booking with her again and highly recommend all of you do the same!”
“Jessica is an amazing cat sitter. I highly recommend her services. She truly cares for my kitty, Cookie. She leaves the most fun and thorough Rover updates, too. Thanks Jessica, Cookie and Elizabeth”
“Logan is great! She’s friendly and totally at ease with pets. She took care of our two cats for a few days while we were away. She played with them, fed them, and took great pics. When we got home, the cats were happy as can be. Logan is a good communicator and punctual. We would love to hire her again.”
“Laura, thanks for taking such great care of Tater while I was away! I appreciate you fitting him into your schedule! Love the updates and photos you provide as well! They definitely help when I can’t be there with him! Thanks so much!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Darby
“I highly recommend Kara if you're needing a sitter for your fur babies in the area. She took great care of our two pups and we highly appreciate she could accommodate us last minute as another sitter didn't work out the day before. One of our pups normally don't like other people but somehow he was very fond of her which tells a lot. They were tired and happy after we picked them up at the end of the day. I say best sitter in the area.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own. In addition, I have taken a ten week course on canine psychology which has allowed me to better understand dog behavior and respond in kind. I believe my exposure to animals of multiple breeds and my understanding of all things dog helps me to approach each pet with the appropriate energy and guidance for a positive interaction. I love to run and hike and can keep up with high energy breeds, but love a mellow walk as well! In addition, I have extensive experience with cats, horses, and other animals. I work from home and have decent availability - please let me know how I can help you and your pet! I am a freelance artist and photographer, so my schedule is very flexible. Also, you can count on some great photos of your dog while in my care! :) I have a large yard, a variety of crates, balls, dog beds, toys, and anything your pup might need to feel at home while visiting!
About: Hi, I’m Logan 👋🏼 I live in Victor and work in Jackson. I would love to get outside with your pups on either side of the pass! I live with an high energy English Setter and and outdoor activities orange cat. My family has had many dogs over the years, especially labs and Dobermans. I have experience with all shapes, sizes, and demeanors through Rover. Comfortable with walking on or off leash, and with e collars. You can trust your dog will be in great hands while you are away. I can't wait to meet your best buddy! Availability: I work 8-5 in Jackson Mon- Fri so am available for walks and drop ins in the evenings on either side of the pass. I can do house sitting and boarding (selectively) on the weekends. Watching a dog in their own space allows me to keep them as much in their typical routines as possible, even while you’re gone. Let me know what their routines are, and how comfortable you feel with me bringing them outside of the house and around other dogs.
“This was Dollie's first time with a sitter. She's very attached to me so I was a little anxious to see how she would do. Meg and her children met us when we drove up and they all loved Dollie and Dollie reacted happily to them with a wagging tail. We were gone all day and until 10 p.m. which I had discussed beforehand with Meg. She sent me pictures of my happy content dog and even got her to eat which is sometimes a challenge for me. I would definitely choose Meg again to care for Dollie.”
“Maylee was awesome!! I highly recommend her!! Maylee was communicative and flexible and a pleasure to work with. But more importantly, she LOVED my buddy Lincoln and so he was in great hands while with her. I was so appreciative of the way she took care of Lincoln. We were on a long trip when he stayed with Maylee, and she gave home extra attention and love. HIGHLY recommend working with Maylee!”
“Okay, Rachel is AMAZING. Im from Denver, CO and drove to Jackson for a half marathon. I brought my puppy, Rowan, with me to have a fun filled memorable experience with him in Jackson but being that half marathons don't allow dogs to run the course, I needed a pet sitter that would be willing to wake up super early to allow me to drop him off. I truly didn't think anyone would be willing to accommodate that request (understandably) but Rachel was up for it! Not only that, she also dropped me off at the spot where buses were taking runners to Teton Village for the start line. Truly too kind! When I arrived back at Rachel's place to pick up Rowan, he was having so much fun playing with her neighbor's dog in the yard that he completely ignored me lol. It was hard to pull him away. Rowan had a blast and Rachel was so kind to send update pictures while I was running my race. If for whatever reason I'm crazy enough to run that race again, I would absolutely hit up Rachel again! Anyone who is looking for a super friendly and very pet friendly pet sitter should consider Rachel. I can't thank you enough for easing my anxiety on race day, Rachel lol. THANK YOU.”
“Lauren was an amazing pet sitter for Snowie. We left him with her for about six hours, and she took excellent care of him the entire time. She took him on a walk, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. What impressed us most was how relaxed Snowie was. He can sometimes be anxious in new situations, but he clearly enjoyed his time with Lauren and showed no signs of stress at all. Thanks to Lauren, we were able to fully enjoy our hike in Grand Teton without worrying about him. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Lauren!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and absolutely adore them. I grew up with my golden retriever, who was by my side for 18 years, so I know how special the bond with a dog can be. These days, I spend lots of time with my in-laws’ Bernedoodle, Al, who I love babysitting and taking care of. I’m very active and love getting outside for long walks, hikes, and adventures, but I’m equally happy spending time cuddling and keeping a dog company at home. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m very active and naturally build walks into my daily routine. I take several walks throughout the day, including a long walk every morning and evening, and would love to have a pup join me! I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual routine. I’m attentive to their needs, respectful of their home, and will always follow your instructions closely.
“Joe was great with Hank! Hank is a senior dog and moves slowly. He also has separation anxiety. Joe was patient and kind and listened to Hank’s needs and altered his walks and activity to meet Hank’s ability. Hank was a very happy boy and could tell he’d been well cared for. I will definitely utilize Joe again!”

“Wendee was an amazing sitter/walker. She’s friendly and communicative! We needed a drop in visit while we were on vacation in the area and Wendee did an amazing job! I could tell our pup really enjoyed her company. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Here’s a draft for your review: Claire was an amazing dog walker for my dog, Pancho! She was incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure he was comfortable and happy during their walks. Pancho absolutely loved her, which says a lot about how great she is with animals. Claire was also super punctual, always arriving on time and sticking to the schedule. Booking with her through Rover was a breeze—she made the whole process so simple and stress-free. I highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Thank you, Claire, for taking such great care of Pancho!”
“MaKayla was very friendly and helpful. We were staying in an RV at Island Park ID and she came out to walk our dog while we went to explore Yellowstone. She gave us peace of mind while we were away and took great care of our dog.”

Whether at my home or yours, I am expert at anticipating a dog's needs, managing environments to prevent accidents, and reading canine body language to ensure they always feel secure. In My Home: Structured, Active, and Secure When a dog stays with me, they enter a home tailored for a happy, balanced dog life. Because I am currently raising a 10.5-month-old English Lab, my environment is fully puppy-proofed, secure, and organized around a predictable routine. Compatibility & Socialization: I love hosting friendly guest dogs who enjoy a bit of playtime. We do structured doggy playdates with my close circle of trusted friends and their dogs, ensuring all social interactions are safe, positive, and supervised. Routine & Rest: I am a big believer in the balance of physical exercise and proper rest. My home is set up for successful crate training and designated quiet time, ensuring your dog gets the decompression they need after a fun day. In Your Home: Respectful and Attentive If I am caring for your pet in your home, my priority is maintaining their absolute comfort and peace of mind. Keeping to Their Schedule: I strictly adhere to your established house rules, feeding times, and crating routines so your dog experiences zero disruption while you are away. Home Security & Cleanliness: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My flexible schedule allows me to make regular check-ins to ensure your pet is never left lonely or waiting for a potty break. No matter the setting, my goal is to build a foundation of trust with both you and your pup, ensuring they are safe, happy, and treated like family.
