“Ashley and Robbie were so great! I was concerned my dog Nova might not settle in..she is a bit crazy. She did great and Ashley dealt with her rambunctiousness! She sent pictures and videos all the days and they were great. I could see Nova was settling in and becoming part of the family. I would highly recommend bringing your pups here..they will be treated like family!”
“This was the first time that we had left Wilda for overnight. Lindsay and Leland made us feel comfortable and confident that managing an energetic 10 month old puppy was no problem. We are so happy that we have found such great caregivers for Wilda!”
“Our dog Pete was well cared for with Wendy. The property was expansive and Pete had the opportunity to see different parts of it. Thankful that Wendy appreciated Pete for his wonderful qualities and was understanding of others. Wendy is especially easy to work with and has a cheery outlook.”
“Many thanks to Travis and his family for giving Artie a great deal of attention to keep him happy!!! Every time after staying with them our dog loves to sing that is his favorite activity after having a great time. Before meeting Travis, we used to be reluctant to board Artie for longer than one day. Recently, we let ourselves to go on a 10-day remote trip without concerns. As always, it was a great pleasure to see Artie’s smiling face on the beautiful pictures sent by Travis and after coming back to find our dog in a good mood and well taken care of.”
“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“Tammy was beyond wonderful!! She sent us pics of our puppy every day and it made us feel so much better! We knew our puppy was being well cared for and loved and doing lots of fun things!!!”
“Shaunette is amazing! Excellent communication. We went and met her before having her watch the dogs and she made us feel right at home. It’s obvious that she loves dogs with a passion. She sent me pictures every single day that she had the dogs. And both of my dogs felt right at home immediately. I actually can’t wait to use her again.”
“Fred and Isabelle were absolutely amazing! It was Jasper’s first time boarding and they were great at making him feel at home and giving updates to reassure us he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you for taking such awesome care of Jasper!”
“Rebecca was great! From meet and greet to pick up we’d definitely recommend. Our pup was tired and happy when he got home from his weekend with her. She gave us peace of mind by sending photo updates and was easy to work with for pick up and drop off. Her place is a doggy heaven, lots of space and friends to explore it with.”
“We left our fur baby, Liz, with Carolyn and Sarah for the first time this past weekend. Carolyn's home is clean and dog friendly.We were sent several communications and pictures the first day to reassure us that Liz was comfortable and happy. Liz likes other dogs and had a good time playing in the fenced backyard with her other dog guests. Carolyn is kind, calm, and seems to have good dog sense. She is aware of how much our dogs mean to us, and makes every effort to keep them safe and cared for. We will not hesitate to take Liz back to Carolyn the next time we need to venture out of town.”
“Katie is super sweet! House was clean with a fenced yard. Super flexible with pick up and drop off! Excellent communication! Would love to have our two pups stay with her again in the future! Thanks for taking great care of our fur babies!!”
About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“I was absolutely delighted by the care that my dog, Loki, received during his time staying with Leaha at her home. It was very obvious that Loki was treated as a member of her family. While I was on vacation, Leaha sent me text messages and pictures of Loki looking happy and healthy. I had previously used boarding kennels for my dogs when I had to travel. Now that I have met Leaha, I hope to never have to use a kennel again! Thank you Leaha. You helped to make my vacation more enjoyable knowing that Loki was well cared for.”
“We are so pleased with the attention and love that Kim and Dave have given to our dog. I am not certain that she missed us very much. She felt right at home within minutes of meeting them prior to being boarded there. It was so wonderful to feel secure leaving her with people that truly care about her comfort and happiness. They are great with sharing photos and responding to messages and sharing daily photos too. We will be using them again for future needs.”
“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet professional with 11 years of experience in veterinary medicine, certification in dog training, and active board member to a local animal shelter. So caring for animals is truly my passion and profession. My background allows me to provide a level of attention, safety, and knowledge that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies who are still learning the basics, senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care, and pets who require medications or special routines. I’m also happy to reinforce training, structure, and good manners during my visits so your dog stays consistent with what they’re learning at home. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines so pets feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. Because of my veterinary background, I’m also experienced in monitoring for health concerns and administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, training reinforcement, or calm companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to give owners peace of mind through communication, reliability, and professional-level care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐾 With my current schedule, I wake up early to make sure every dog’s needs are met—whether that’s potty breaks, medication administration, or starting the day on a calm routine. After I return home from work, I spend plenty of time with the dogs for play, exercise, enrichment activities, and their regular feeding routine. My home environment is structured, calm, and designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. With my background in veterinary medicine and dog training, I focus on maintaining clear routines and a low-stress environment so dogs settle in quickly and feel secure. Dogs staying with me follow a consistent daily routine that includes potty breaks, enrichment, rest time, and play. Structure helps dogs relax and prevents overstimulation, which is especially important for puppies, high-energy dogs, or dogs who thrive on predictability. I have a large backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time for exercise, play, and mental stimulation. Playtime is always monitored to ensure dogs stay safe and comfortable. For safety and proper rest, I also have Impact Kennels available for structured downtime. Crate time is used as a positive, calm space for dogs to decompress, eat meals, or sleep—similar to the routines many trainers and veterinary professionals recommend. For dogs that enjoy extra activity, I also offer optional hikes and adventure walks, providing additional exercise and enrichment depending on the dog’s energy level and owner preferences. Every dog is different, so I tailor care to their personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Kelly and her family were fabulous with my dog. I had to book due to a last minute emergency, and she was so helpful and quick with communicating! I would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Lisa did a wonderful job taking care of our menagerie—sheep, chickens and outdoor cats. She even made friends with the cats, who are very shy. I think they are missing her! We appreciated Lisa’s updates and photos, too. It felt great to know that everything was in good hands.”
“If you need a cat sitter Dena is the person you're looking for. She came to my home before my leaving date to meet me, get instructions & make sure she & the cat where compatible. She & my cat instantly liked each other very much so I knew he was in good hands during my time away. Dena was reliable, followed instructions, friendly & professional. She went out if her way to make sure that my cat received not only care but also the companionship he craved. She sent pictures & a video of the cat that let me know he was very happy to have her there. I'm grateful & very appreciative of Dena & her services. I will definitely be booking with her for my next time away.”
“Cailee was wonderful with my Larry Lou. He is a little stand offish but she worked through it and gained his trust. She communicated with me every day and set mind at ease. She even brought in packages that were piled on my front porch! I will use her again! She was great.”
“Sarah took great care of our kitties while we were out of town. My kitties are shy but Sarah always tried to get them to play or eat a treat! We appreciate her looking after our kitties and would recommend her for anyone needing pet care.”
“We are so glad for your care Monica. It was our first Rover experience. It made the 3 day getaway so relaxing and would absolutely love to have Monica care for our 3 cats (and us) in the future. Fun summaries and selfie pics made it easy to relax. All 3 cats were their normal selves. Playful Toffee had a blast. Shy Carbon lap snuggled. Outdoor Argent also showed his snuggly self.”
“Crystal was a fabulous care giver for my 2 cats who have diabetes, she had to give them shots and did so and giving them attention and love. Thank you so much Crystal and I appreciate it so much.”
“Olivia was great. My cat was in very good hands. I had to book last minute for a family emergency and she was willing to work with me in a short period of time. She kept me updated and was great about paying loving attention to my pet. Next time I leave town, I will definitely try to book her again.”
“Angelina was very professional, and her personality is great. She cares about the animals and took great care of my cat and was very prompt. I will be calling her again to come take care of my kiddo.”
“She was absolutely amazing, she followed written instructions to the t. It was nice to get the daily pictures I downloaded them and made a photo album because my cats never pose for me like they did for her. I don't know what she did. They were actually looking for her the first day I was home. I highly recommend Madisyn and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Margaret has been a great support for us with our sweet old man Garfield. He has some health issues and he had new urinary issues while we were away. She brought him to the animal ER to get him the medicine he needed for this. She did a great job with caring for him and working with our daughter until our return. Thank you so much!!! Will definitely use Margaret again. 💜”
About: What sets me apart is the calm, patient energy I bring specifically for cats — and the real-life experience I have caring for my own. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after them. I know the little things matter: keeping routines consistent, monitoring eating and litter habits, and respecting their unique personalities. I’m experienced with kittens (litter training support, play enrichment, routine building) and senior cats (medication, mobility awareness, gentle handling). I understand that some cats are affectionate and social, while others need space and a slow approach — and I always move at their pace. Caring for my own cat has made me attentive to subtle behavior changes and the small details that keep them happy and stress-free. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and to give you peace of mind with regular updates and photos.
About: Hi, I am Jenna and I have lived in Idaho for about 3 years now. I can make drop-in visits for your fur baby, or short walks for one dog at a time. I work from home and want to help out fellow dog owners with my extra availability. I will treat your pup as my own and provide great care. I am responsible, attentive to details, and very careful. Thanks! I work from home and want to help out fellow dog owners with my availability, my availability is mostly in the early and late afternoons. With an abundance of caution I avoid interaction with other dogs out and about, as I believe you can not trust the training level of other dogs.
“Mellany did a fantastic job taking care of our “spoiled” cat, Nin. She was extremely conscientious regarding her feeding and schedule. Mellany exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her based on our experience. We would not hesitate requesting her services in the future.”
“I am so thankful Christy was available to watch my Frankie Poo last week. She put me at ease, we first scheduled a house visit to get acquainted and from there it was an easy choice to proceed with her services. She is so passionate about animals, and she really loved both of our pets as much as we do. Thank you for coming over this last week, and spending time with my lil’ Frankie Frank. You’re truly a treasure!”
“I am a repeat customer, & will continue to book Joshua for future drop-ins for my kitties. Communication is fantastic, always on time, & responds in a timely manner. Thank you for taking care of my cats. 🫶”
“Kelly & Tyler did a very good job taking care of my cats. My cats don't get along so, Kelly watched one of my cats in her house. Came to my house everyday to take care of the other. All went well. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve worked in a veterinary hospital for over five years. I’ve had the experience of working with dogs and cats with all different temperaments. I’ve also had the privilege of working with a large variety of species. Due to my prior experience, I also I am completely comfortable administering any medication‘s pets may need. I work full-time throughout the week from 8 AM to 6 PM. Around these times I’m able to watch/walk pets. If owners would like for me to stay at their residence, I can stay with the animal after these hours. I am completely available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I would be willing to continue any training that owners have began with their pet. This includes walking on leash, animals being crated, and mediated interactions between pet mates.

“Lindsey and Leland were so nice towards us and our 4 month old puppy. It was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but they made us feel beyond comfortable. Definitely will be reaching out when we need our pup watched again! Thank you!!”
About: I have experience with dogs of various shapes and sizes—Chihuahua, Shih-tzu, Bull Terrier, Pit bulls, Akita, St. Bernard, Airedaile, to name a few. I also have experience caring for other animals like cats, chickens, ducks, goats, etc. Just show me what you need done and I’ll get it done. I’m here because I absolutely adore animals. I’m a caring and compassionate person and I hope to give fellow pet parents a sense of relief as they look to this community for care and services. I am a responsible person, with a relatively laidback lifestyle. I won’t be out late and I won’t leave your dog alone for long periods of time. I have an extremely close bond with my own dogs and see them as important members of our home. I will treat your pets the same way. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, but to house sit, I will need internet access. In the afternoons I may need to leave for a short period (2-3 hours) to spend time with my family. I like to care for your pet the same way you would. I prefer that your pets feel like it’s just another day. As a pet owner myself, I understand the nerves that come with entrusting your pets to another person. I aim to alleviate that stress and anxiety as much as possible— for you and your pet!
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, from dogs and cats to just about every creature you’d find on a ranch. That upbringing gave me a natural understanding of different personalities and needs, and a deep love for them all. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need extra attention, whether that’s administering medication, supporting a disability, or helping a shy or nervous animal feel safe. My gentle, quiet nature helps animals relax and settle in, so they can truly feel at home while you’re away. As a work-from-home freelancer, my schedule is wide open, giving me the flexibility to care for your pets whenever they need me, day or night. I have a big, fully fenced backyard, including an amazing dog run in case they need some alone time or need to be away from others. I also have an open home with plenty of room to take long naps in the sun.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide reliable, safe, and compassionate dog sitting that goes beyond basic care. Your dog will be treated like family—with personalized attention, a calm and loving environment, and plenty of playtime. I pride myself on clear communication, trustworthiness, and a true passion for animals that sets me apart from the rest. As a part-time work-from-home mom, I have the flexibility and time to give your beloved pet constant care, attention, and love throughout the whole day. I care for dogs in my home as if they’re my own—providing a safe, clean, and cozy environment filled with love, playtime, and routine. Your pup will enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, cuddles, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I maintain a calm, pet-friendly space with minimal stress and lots of positive interaction. Whether it’s lounging inside or playing in the yard, your dog will feel right at home

About: I have hands-on experience with high-energy dogs and know how to keep them happy, exercised, and mentally engaged. I’m patient and attentive, with a gentle approach that works well for both playful pups and older dogs who need a little extra care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a veteran Marine and someone who has competitively trained dogs since 2020, I approach pet care with structure, consistency, and discipline. I make sure pets are cared for with structure, safety, and attention to detail. I follow consistent feeding schedules, provide exercise and play tailored to each pet’s needs, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. With my background in competitive dog training, I also incorporate positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to ensure pets are not only well cared for but also engaged and happy.
About: I discovered my love for animals when my mom rescued a Shiba Inu shortly after my dad died. Since then, I've made every effort to learn as much as I can about cats and dogs, including going to professional grooming school and I'm currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer. Most of my experience with cats has come from my sister and her roommate, but I love cats just as much as I love dogs I do have another part time job, but scheduling is flexible so I'll have plenty of time in the day to check on your buddy! I'm very conscious of their safety and always use a leash, always make sure fenced areas are secure, and that there's no toxic plants around them. My own have a history of bolting/running away, so these things have become 2nd nature for me.
About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.
“I highly recommend Stacy and her partner to everyone for doggy day care! My beagle became comfortable at their house very quickly and enjoys the company of their friendly dog Blue 😊. Stacy also sends great updates and photos during the day and has taken Maisie for some beautiful walks. Thanks for treating Maisie so well, we will definitely be back!”

“Lisa was my very first Rover experience and she did not disappoint. Thank you for the great photos and the report card. It’s clear that they needed the walk and break. I will be using Lisa again without question. Thank you Lisa and Rover.”
About: I grew up caring for animals, dogs, cats, horses, fish, cows, chickens, and a goat, having pets most of my life. My background is in healthcare while in the military. I have been my father's caregiver which allowed me to help foster puppy litters to adult dogs and care for a pack of 8 dogs-4 of which are mine while caring for him. I can now enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I am interested in always learning about animal behavior and all aspects of their care. I have been my father's caregiver but sadly he passed at the age of 94 and would enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I have an open schedule that is veryflexible. I am blessed to have my son's help caring for our dogs, allowing me to provide in-home and overnight care if needed. The number one goal is to adapt personalized routines for your pets so they are happy and healthy.
“Crystal took such great care of our puppy. Also..I had to make some last minute changes and Crystal was really helpful in assisting me with those. We hope to be able to schedule her again!”
About: ⭐️ I offer services in the Twin Falls, Idaho area between late August and early May (fall, winter, and early spring). Then, between mid May and early August I offer services for the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho area (late spring, summer). If you have any questions about where I'm at at the moment feel free to reach out ⭐️ Hello! My name is Madi. I am a current vet tech student looking to go into small animal medicine after graduation. I have three years of experience in veterinary medicine, with two of those years also being involved in a 4-H veterinary science project. Aside from my experience with veterinary care, I have been petsitting for the last seven years or so. I have cared for small and large breed dogs, cats, and birds. I have a soft spot for dogs as I have six years of prior experience in the 4-H dog project and some occasional AKC competitions. I've taken a break to focus on school; however, I've missed the petsitting aspect of my life. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets :) I am currently in vet tech school full-time; however, I am hoping to incorporate petcare back into my schedule. I have taken a short break from petcare to focus on school, but I've found that I miss it! In the past, I was able to incorporate petcare into my schedule effectively for both drop in visits and dogwalking. I can provide petcare on most weekdays (depending on the current schooling load) and on weekends. Feel free to message me with any scheduling questions! While I am not currently offering client petcare at my home, I feel very strongly that I can provide a safe environment for your pets in their homes and while walking. Years of experience training my reactive dog has assisted me in learning body language and how to properly avoid uncomfortable situations. While walking, I avoid greetings with other dogs as well as people. This keeps everyone safe and eliminates any possible issues that could arise. While doing drop in visits, I check the state of outdoor yards prior to letting animals out. This avoids possible escape or contact with animals or foreign materials. Additionally, I treat client pets as though they are my own and provide them with the love and care they need to be happy and healthy :)
“Christy not only goes above and beyond but her knowledge & skills are amazing! Yesterday I moved and my dog started to panic. Christy arrived and I looked to her for advice and help! Ultimately I decided my dog needed her medication. It takes a long time to kick in though. Christy took her for a walk, gaves her loves, cuddled her, talked to, etc. The more going on in the house the more panicked she was! She was trying to fight the medication. Ultimately Christy's magic worked! She loves Christy and I knew if anyone could calm her it was her!! I don't think even I could have...they have developed such a special bond 💗”
About: i am extremely experience with pets of all abilities, sizes, weights, breeds, and ages. I also have experience with medication administration! I also have experience transporting pets in the car. I thoroughly enjoy long or quick walks or hanging out with the pups at your home :) I am available every day of the week! My only UNavailable times are (including my driving time): - Tuesday 11:15 - 5:15 - Wednesday 9:15 - 1:15 - Thursday 9:45 - 3:00 I spend time with your pups following instructions very carefully . I care about movement and exercise for your pup, as well as finding out their music tastes! I care for them with cuddles and scratches and personal attention. I also will play outside in the fresh air with your doggo. I never give people food to any dog and will rush to grab something off the floor if dropped to get it before they do. I make sure they have enough water in a clean bowl regularly and never have to hold their pee :) if requested, I will pick up poop out of the yard and definitely on a walk or playing at the park. Dogs are so special to us and deserve the best care!
About: It feels silly to say 26 years of pet care when I am 26 years old. But I might as well, because I’ve never not had a dog! I am a golden retriever mom so I’m used to big energetic dogs. I watched family and friend’s dogs often and decided to do it more full time with Rover. I’m good for a good long walk - let’s get some steps in! I also have senior dog experience, such as administering medication and special food and care instructions. I have a very flexible work schedule - I can work from anywhere, anytime, so I can be flexible for your pet’s needs and provide them the care they need As a pet owner and frequent traveler, I know that leaving your pet in someone else’s hands can be nerve wracking. The best pet sitters assure you that their pet is being cared for, so you can enjoy your time away! If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have an energetic golden retriever as a friend, with full time access via doggy door to our large, fenced backyard.
About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals since I was a kid. My family used to call me the dog whisperer because I was the family and friend pet sitter. I have some training experience from my own pets and those of my family. I am a firm believer that a pet is truly a part of the family and should be treated as such! I work from home and can house dogs during the day. I love taking walks in the mornings and evenings and bringing a furry friend along sounds like such a treat! Weekend hikes are also more enjoyable with company! My dog is like my child. She gets love and affection all throughout the day and as often as I can afford. I also have a large fenced in yard that my pup loves to run in all the time. I do my best to keep my pup happy and healthy. I want her to live a long and happy life.
About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life. We mainly have Angora goats, chickens, ducks, and guardian dogs. However, we’ve also had the occasional sheep, dairy goat, guinea hen and even a llama. In the house we have a Vizsla, four cats, and salt water fish. In the past I have also had a gecko and a hedgehog. I am available from 11am to 2pm and after 5pm. My weekend availability varies as I have tournaments most weekends, but I am usually available all day on Sundays. I also am available full time during holiday breaks. I do not offer care at my house because I don’t want to risk any problems with my pets, but I am happy to come to your house or take your pets for walks!
“Ashley was great with out big boy Remy! We had Ashley for a week of walks while we went on a cruise since my MIL was not physically able to walk him. She was super responsive and kind and listened to our instructions for Remy. We really appreciated her attention to communication and her attitude towards our boy who is learning proper leash etiquette. It was so nice knowing he was having a good time and getting exercise and that Ashley was able to avoid his triggers on the walk to the best of her ability as well. Definitely would recommend!”
“Layla is a friendly and caring person that showed great passion and excitement when walking my dog. She showed great communication, reliability, and is trust worthy. I'd recommend her to anyone”

I have a flexible schedule and am available often and last minute. I have a small dog of my own and am willing to provide doggie play dates upon request if they meet and like each other. I am looking forward to meeting your pets and provided them with individualized care whether it be walking, running, playing, grooming, offering Reiki, massaging or snuggling. Every pet is unique with different needs and preferences - I have four of my own!
“Rose has been very reliable coming to my apartment and walking my dog 4 days a week. She is great at communicating and always make sure my dog is treated very well. I highly recommended her services”
About: I’ve worked in a veterinary hospital for over five years. I’ve had the experience of working with dogs and cats with all different temperaments. I’ve also had the privilege of working with a large variety of species. Due to my prior experience, I also I am completely comfortable administering any medication‘s pets may need. I work full-time throughout the week from 8 AM to 6 PM. Around these times I’m able to watch/walk pets. If owners would like for me to stay at their residence, I can stay with the animal after these hours. I am completely available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I would be willing to continue any training that owners have began with their pet. This includes walking on leash, animals being crated, and mediated interactions between pet mates.

“Ashley and Robbie were so great! I was concerned my dog Nova might not settle in..she is a bit crazy. She did great and Ashley dealt with her rambunctiousness! She sent pictures and videos all the days and they were great. I could see Nova was settling in and becoming part of the family. I would highly recommend bringing your pups here..they will be treated like family!”
“This was the first time that we had left Wilda for overnight. Lindsay and Leland made us feel comfortable and confident that managing an energetic 10 month old puppy was no problem. We are so happy that we have found such great caregivers for Wilda!”
“Our dog Pete was well cared for with Wendy. The property was expansive and Pete had the opportunity to see different parts of it. Thankful that Wendy appreciated Pete for his wonderful qualities and was understanding of others. Wendy is especially easy to work with and has a cheery outlook.”
“Many thanks to Travis and his family for giving Artie a great deal of attention to keep him happy!!! Every time after staying with them our dog loves to sing that is his favorite activity after having a great time. Before meeting Travis, we used to be reluctant to board Artie for longer than one day. Recently, we let ourselves to go on a 10-day remote trip without concerns. As always, it was a great pleasure to see Artie’s smiling face on the beautiful pictures sent by Travis and after coming back to find our dog in a good mood and well taken care of.”
“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“Tammy was beyond wonderful!! She sent us pics of our puppy every day and it made us feel so much better! We knew our puppy was being well cared for and loved and doing lots of fun things!!!”
“Shaunette is amazing! Excellent communication. We went and met her before having her watch the dogs and she made us feel right at home. It’s obvious that she loves dogs with a passion. She sent me pictures every single day that she had the dogs. And both of my dogs felt right at home immediately. I actually can’t wait to use her again.”
“Fred and Isabelle were absolutely amazing! It was Jasper’s first time boarding and they were great at making him feel at home and giving updates to reassure us he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you for taking such awesome care of Jasper!”
“Rebecca was great! From meet and greet to pick up we’d definitely recommend. Our pup was tired and happy when he got home from his weekend with her. She gave us peace of mind by sending photo updates and was easy to work with for pick up and drop off. Her place is a doggy heaven, lots of space and friends to explore it with.”
“Katie is super sweet! House was clean with a fenced yard. Super flexible with pick up and drop off! Excellent communication! Would love to have our two pups stay with her again in the future! Thanks for taking great care of our fur babies!!”
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“I was absolutely delighted by the care that my dog, Loki, received during his time staying with Leaha at her home. It was very obvious that Loki was treated as a member of her family. While I was on vacation, Leaha sent me text messages and pictures of Loki looking happy and healthy. I had previously used boarding kennels for my dogs when I had to travel. Now that I have met Leaha, I hope to never have to use a kennel again! Thank you Leaha. You helped to make my vacation more enjoyable knowing that Loki was well cared for.”
“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet professional with 11 years of experience in veterinary medicine, certification in dog training, and active board member to a local animal shelter. So caring for animals is truly my passion and profession. My background allows me to provide a level of attention, safety, and knowledge that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies who are still learning the basics, senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care, and pets who require medications or special routines. I’m also happy to reinforce training, structure, and good manners during my visits so your dog stays consistent with what they’re learning at home. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines so pets feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. Because of my veterinary background, I’m also experienced in monitoring for health concerns and administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, training reinforcement, or calm companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to give owners peace of mind through communication, reliability, and professional-level care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐾 With my current schedule, I wake up early to make sure every dog’s needs are met—whether that’s potty breaks, medication administration, or starting the day on a calm routine. After I return home from work, I spend plenty of time with the dogs for play, exercise, enrichment activities, and their regular feeding routine. My home environment is structured, calm, and designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. With my background in veterinary medicine and dog training, I focus on maintaining clear routines and a low-stress environment so dogs settle in quickly and feel secure. Dogs staying with me follow a consistent daily routine that includes potty breaks, enrichment, rest time, and play. Structure helps dogs relax and prevents overstimulation, which is especially important for puppies, high-energy dogs, or dogs who thrive on predictability. I have a large backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time for exercise, play, and mental stimulation. Playtime is always monitored to ensure dogs stay safe and comfortable. For safety and proper rest, I also have Impact Kennels available for structured downtime. Crate time is used as a positive, calm space for dogs to decompress, eat meals, or sleep—similar to the routines many trainers and veterinary professionals recommend. For dogs that enjoy extra activity, I also offer optional hikes and adventure walks, providing additional exercise and enrichment depending on the dog’s energy level and owner preferences. Every dog is different, so I tailor care to their personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Kelly and her family were fabulous with my dog. I had to book due to a last minute emergency, and she was so helpful and quick with communicating! I would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Stacy was just what our dog needed. Her home is very pet friendly and Stacy knows how to handle the dogs. She limits the amount of pets she takes in which was helpful for our dog who gets overwhelmed. Our dog played great with her dog and came home tired and happy.She had such a great time with Stacy- it was like a dog sleep over!”
About: Raised around show dogs, with 15 years hands‑on training experience. Professional educator offering loving, dog‑only care—walks, enrichment, adventures, or calm indoor comfort, individually tailored. Huge Heart. Currently my schedule is very open for all work. If this does not fill the schedule, will need to adjust around other work. But this is my current priority. If other work is needed, pets still come first and receive 150% love, care, and attention. My doggy is on the rainbow bridge. It is just me in the home. I follow the owners rules and wishes. I want to keep to their training and routines. I don't want the owner coming home to a doggy with bad habits or upset tummy. I want to keep the same diet and structure. I'm a professional, certified teacher and past hospital worker. Absolutely love to love on doggies. I have over 50 five-star reviews on airbnb and lots of other references and letters of reference I can provide you.
“Outstanding sitter! My dog can be a little challenging, but Sarah communicated amazingly, made my doggo as comfortable as possible, and drove to meet me at a closer location for pick up! Would definitely book again.”
“Mikey took great care of our bernedoodle, Mocha. Mocha was walked & cared for like a member of Mikey’s family. Mikey sent pictures & video updates of Mocha during her stay. I would highly recommend Mikey to care for your dog!”
