Personalized care for your dog or cat - Joel
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Joel
“Ravi had such a good time with Amity! He seemed sad to be leaving when we drove off the lot. I took him home and he was tired and well-behaved because he had such a great time playing! Great experience, overall, and will definitely bring my dog here again. Thank you so much!!!”
“Brandi was wonderful with our boy for his first overnight at her house. We got daily updates of how he was doing, and pictures of him playing hard and napping peacefully. She had him neatly packed and ready to go for pickup. He’ll be staying there again!”
“Courtney (and her family) did such a wonderful job watching our dogs while my husband and I were away on vacation. She sent photographs of the dogs every night and gave an update on their day. She was very attentive to their needs. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be coming back to her for future sitting jobs ?”
“Melissa and Ryan are the best. My dog loves going there. She has separation anxiety and they are so patient and helpful in making her feel part of their family. She sends photos and keeps me informed of any concerns that may arise.”
“Super happy with how our pup was treated! Wendy (Alice) did a fantastic job taking care of Minima, taking her for walks, and keeping in contact while we were away. She knows what she is doing!”
“Barney had playmates and daily outings. He was well cared for and happy to be there. Stephanie even received the coveted Barney snuggles. I would gladly leave him with Stephanie again. I am also looking into day play dates with this sitter.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
“Ashley was great!!! I know my dog was very well taken care of in her home. She gave updates and responded right away when texted! We will absolutely be using her again for any future boarding!!!”
“wonderful host! we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs at Mikayla’s house! we will definitely use her as a rover sitter for any of our dogs in the future. our dog was very comfortable and came home happy as usual<3”
“Amany was absolutely incredible! She was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which was a lifesaver. From the moment we dropped off our two dogs, we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Amany provided consistent updates throughout the day, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and having a blast with her! Her attention to detail, love for animals, and excellent communication truly set her apart. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and we highly recommend Amany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi I’m Erin, I will be the one to give your pet plenty of love and walks whenever they need it! I will be able to pet sit when you want to have a weekend get away or drop in visits to check on your pets. Throughout my 18 years I have been raised around all types of different animals from the smallest to the largest. Such as tiny mice and guinea pigs to horses and cows. I have my own two dogs an a horse while my parents still have a little farm. I have pet sat for others before and absolutely loved it! I am a college student and will be working part time but I don’t have to many classes and will have multiple breaks for to walk or check your pets! I have a flexible schedule so finding openings that fit work best. It fits in-between classes and time when I’m not doing anything on the weekends or when I don’t have class. I love to spoil my pets at home. My dogs sleep with me in my bed and so do my cats. I treat them like my children and couldn’t live without them.
“Lily was fantastic with my small Pomeranian mix! Ember is a bit nervous around new people, but immediately took to Lily and they had a great time together with lots of attention and walks. Communication was great too... I highly recommend Lily! ☺️”
“Hannah was amazing! She took great care of our boy Cyrus. She was very good at communicating and sending pictures when we asked for updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our baby with her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Brian! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats around the house, and it’s a tradition I’ve proudly continued into adulthood. Sadly, both of my beloved pugs passed away over the last few years. Right now, it's just me and my cat, Vader, so I would absolutely love to welcome a canine (or another feline) presence back into my home! I work at WSU and live a quiet, peaceful life here in Colfax. Because my home is a kid-free environment and I spend a lot of my time here, your pet will get plenty of focused attention, companionship, and love. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets, so I am committed to treating yours like family - providing a safe, comfortable, and fun home away from home. I’d love to chat and see if I’m the perfect fit for your pet! I work at WSU so it's a short commute each day, allowing me to spend more time at home. My weekday evenings are pretty quiet. I sometimes go out on the weekends but would be quite happy staying home if there is pet-sitting to do. I have a large fenced yard. I have a large linoleum dining and kitchen area that can easily be blocked off where messes are easy to clean up. I'm totally fine sharing my bed and furniture with a pet. It's a quiet, kid-free house well suited for even the most nervous dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a young teenager. Mostly dogs and cats of my own, however I love meeting new animals. My strengths derive from my hard work ethic and passion for helping others. I’m a fast learner and am confident following instructions to exact standards. I am a teacher. During the summer I look for part time jobs. This job makes me feel like I’m doing something meaningful. My pets love to spend the extra time with me during the summer so I think others would too. I have large rooms on hardwood flooring. Animals can be crated, put in living room, or free to roam. I have a friendly dog who loves to make friends but can be kept away when needed. I like to take my dog on walks but I would only walk animals as recommended. I check my animals food and water twice a day. I also make sure to check that my dog has seen the new bowl of food at times.
About: I have seen and taken care of many different pets. I have a lot of energy and will show your pet the attention it deserves. I have been around many cats and dogs and have had birds in the past and currently have a dwarf gerbil. I am a 21 year old student at the University of Idaho. I have had all sorts of pets and really just enjoy the happiness they bring me. I have a part time job and school but am still pretty flexible. I am very detail oriented and like to think I am pretty responsible. I love pets so I would never want anything bad to happen to one of my pets or anyone else's.
About: My family has always loved animals so its basically a zoo at my mom’s house: 2 german shepherds, 2 snakes, and 5 rats. I love and adore all sorts of animals and would love to meet yours! I’m an undergraduate student at UI, I have a 1 year old kitten that is basically my son, he is so loved and I want to help YOU take care of your pet for the best and most loving life possible for your pet. Hello! I currently work full time at a child care center. I work from 8:30-5, 5 days a week. Unfortunately I’m unable to do drop in visits or dog walking during those hours but i’m totally willing to do either before or after my shift! Thank you for understanding🩷 I ensure that my kitty is never bored so I have frequent play sessions along with plenty of exercise in the apartment I live in. When I’m dog sitting I try to burn all that extra energy by long walks and enrichment toys or treats. Whatever your pet needs is my mission!

“Taylor took care of our three cats for 3 weeks while we were overseas. The cats were the happiest with Taylor compared to all the other cat-sitters we've ever had. Great communication from beginning to end of our trip and Taylor treated us with regular pictures of our girls. We will definitely ask Taylor again to cat/house sit again.”
“Peyton was just awesome with our 2 cats! The one that is really hesitant around people took a real shine to her. She did everything awesome and we were so glad to have her watch our boys”

“Chelsea was incredible. Due to a medical emergency, we needed a long term sitter at short notice.

We are so grateful for her help and support!”

“Tidy and conscientious, Emily was very good about contacting us and keeping us updated. She actually saw our skittish kitties, which tells us she had a gentle manner. This was the first time we left our cats and all went well. I recommend Emily as a cat sitter and would book her services again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was a young girl. Nieghbor’s, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and simply give their pet attention. I have had pet my entire life and have loved every single one. I have dog sat many of my neighbors and family friends dogs and cats, if it’s just letting them out to go to the bathroom or staying with them the entire week.

“Ann was an excellent care giver for our cat. We got reports and photos twice a day, and could see that Ann was able to win over our shy and skittish kitty within a couple of visits. Ann is also very responsive and easily and kindly adapted to our travel schedule, which changed a couple of times because of flight cancellations. I would definitely recommend Ann.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and horses. I've taken care of dogs with diabetes like check their sugar level and give their shots of insulin morning and night. I've also have had to give pills. I am also very patient with senior care like hand feeding. And all sorts of love. I am currently a student at the University of Idaho in Moscow. In the client's home, I will care for the pets the way the owner wants their pets to be taken care of and any other requests they may need. I'm currently working full-time/part-time at a restaurant in Moscow. I don't work full 8 hour shifts but my out time is not always set in stone because of business. I normally work between 9:45am - 2:30ish pm and 4pm - 10:30pm depending on the shift I have. I've also have worked doubles in the past. Right now I have Sunday and Mondays off. But that will change when school starts up again. I live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets unless they are ESA. So I am not able to house pets at my apartment but also because my cat.
About: I've cared for dogs of all types of sizes every since I was a young kid. I've owned dogs as big as mastiffs and as small as pugs, my family is also in the AKC world of being renowned Bluetick Coon hound breeders and I've personally worked with all those puppies since their birth and currently working in scent training my own hound. I am currently working part time to save up for college so I can keep doing my dream job as a athletic trainer! I also want to get better at pet care so when i have my own dog in my own place I have 5 dogs thst are super friendly and love to meet new friends and they have all been crate trained so if your pup doesn't love others that's okay they have their own separate room
About: I am that lady who will cross a busy street just to pet your dog. I am moving on to Rover in an attempt to broaden my current client base of dog walking and house/pet sitting clients. I understand the need for a dog to wander, smelling each tree and finding new routes. I have been around dogs my entire life and have an automatic caretaking demeanor when faced with a furry lil friend. I was the lucky human to a wonderful pup named Georgia O'Keeffe for the last 12 years and unfortunately had to put her down in January 2026; please let me spoil your dog in honor of my best babe! My schedule is very flexible and I have a reliable car to get me there. Right now dog walking and sitting blend seamlessly around my other work. Pets communicate through their own signals, telling us what they need. It's up to me to get to know your pet by learning their behaviors and patterns. That way I can make sure they are getting the best care available. To me, this is not a hobby or side job to make some extra cash; I take animal care very seriously and have made it my profession so that I can spend my days pouring my love and energy into the animals around me.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Joel
“Tig is always so eager to go and hang out every time I drop him off and very tired when I pick him up. I can tell he just has a blast and I love that I don't have to worry about if he's safe or being enriched!”
“I was in town for work and needed care. Took the most amazing care of my sweet special needs dog! I got updates and felt so good about the care my pup was getting. So communicative and accommodating—I will use any time I am working in the area.”
About: I had a Pharaoh hound growing up for 15 years and lost her to cancer 4 years ago. I love going on walks, and I'm looking for some new companions to join me! I just got my bachelors degree in Zoology, and I've always been passionate about working with animals throughout my life. I also have 7 years of experience as a house and pet sitter and about 100 hours of volunteer work at the Spokanimals shelter. My schedule is wide open for the summer while I'm in town! Just reach out and let me know, any day, any time, and I will be there! I will respect the rules you have in place for your pet at your home and at mine. I will take the pups on walks at least once a day and let them go outside to potty every hour or as needed. I am happy to brush hair if you supply the tools. I promise to keep your puppy happy to the best of my abilities!

About: I’ve taken care of a good amount of breeds from huskies to chihuahuas. I have loved every single one that it melts my heart every time i see them. I have a dog of my own and she’s a sassy silly lazy girl. I enjoy cuddling with dogs and just having fun with them. Going on walks, playing with toys, watching a movie and going through a roller coaster of emotions, i can do a lot with dogs! i can also ensure that i will provide as much goofy photos of possible if wanted (i will be taking because its funny and brings up the vibes) I work super early so I’m available for majority of the day. I’ll leave at the crack of the morning and come back in the morning still! i’m able to take all dogs out for a potty break in between work as well and just give them attention if that’s all they need! I treat my pets like my fur babies. they are my children so i talk to them as if i have teenage kids going through their moody phase. with other people’s dogs i can present my self calmly or energized depending on what they need. i love including them in everything if they want. like if they want to help me fold laundry, cook, clean, or just watch a movie then we are all doing it as a group.
“Mikayla is great! Sassy was clearly very comfortable and secure there. Their beautiful home has lots of room for exploring, two adorable little kids, and a very relaxed and calming vibe which made me feel confident leaving my dog with Mikayla. Strongly recommend working with this sitter.”
“Alice takes such great care of my little guy! He absolutely loves coming to her house and she is so attentive to his needs and communicative. I can’t say enough good things about Alice and her pups!”
“Stephanie did an awesome job with my dog. Definitely trust her again when I come back to town for work next time. She sent some photos mid day and a message letting me know how it was going. Couldn’t ask for anything more, you can tell she has a passion for pets. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities for as long as I can remember. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide plenty of love to their pets, as well as working at the local animal shelter for a period of time. Whether it’s energetic puppies, mellow senior dogs or those with special needs. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality and I pride myself on giving them the same care and attention they’d get from you. My goal is to keep tails wagging, paws happy, and pet parents worry free while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away, whether that means long walks, snuggle time, or play sessions in the yard. I have my own dogs and 2 cats so I’ve got the routine down pretty well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have an unfenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow any routines or rules you provide to ensure consistency. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and strive for providing a safe, fun, and loving environment where they can relax and feel at home. I have two kiddos that are all about running the energy off as well so between them and the pets nobody is ever unattended outside.
“Shoshana and her family were great. They sent pictures and reports that made us feel that Keeper was being well cared for. However, Keeper seemed nervous around the children and we think a household without children would be better for him.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds in my home. While I currently only have a cat, I’ve been the owner of several dogs, a couple snakes, a bearded dragon and I’m not afraid of really any type of animal.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was young. Anything from guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. My family has had a variety of dogs, so I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all ages. I have taken care of senior dogs with special care required regarding seizures and numerous medications. I’ve also assisted in training for younger dogs for basic tricks and potty training. I’m currently a PhD student, so I’m on campus around half the week! Weekends are very open/flexible for me, and I’m also available in the mornings/mid-day/nights. I would generally keep pets separate from my own, aside from other cats. They’d have their own space to decompress, but they would still receive lots of love!
About: I’ve always been bless to deal with all the family animals. I was always the walker, feeder, trainer, and the one that gave baths for them. I am a u of I graduate and have a lot of extra time in my hands. I was a student athlete for the last 4 years and am still super active and would love to help dogs get their energy out. I am mainly doing this for the summer to earn a little extra money to help with my living situation. I have several animals of my own that ranch from dogs, horses, cows, and chickens. I will do my best to care for your animals needs! I have a place in Uniontown wa that has 5 acres that my dog loves to run on. I also have a barn with other animals so taking care of the needs that the animal may have I can do that. I am willing to come to Moscow, Pullman, Lewiston to help out your fur baby.
About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and now that I have moved out I have a cat as well named Horchata. I also have experience taking care of rabbits and guinea pigs. Message me for my rabbit/guinea pig rate! Many family members rely on my expertise to watch their fur babies :) I am the Carmelita Spencer Foods Lab manager on campus which is a part time position and going to school full time but would really love to do something I’m passionate about on my off time like working with animals. My availability is open to anytime I am not at work. I am good at getting animals to listen and calm down if need be. I believe that animals are very in tune with tone and that is the main way they know if what they are doing is good or bad.
“He came to our first meeting with thoughtful questions about my dog's needs, energy level, and routine, which immediately told me he takes this seriously. My dog is very high energy, and he handles him like a pro every single time. What really sets him apart is how communicative he is! He sends tons of photos every visit and always keeps me in the loop. I never have to wonder how the walk went. He's also always on time, which matters more than people realize when you're counting on someone. I'd recommend him to anyone, but especially if you have a dog that needs more than just a quick lap around the block.”
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my home my whole life. I am currently a WSU Pre-Vet student. My world revolves around my pets, and I will make sure your pets feel the same. I attend classes at Washington State University but still have plenty of time for walks and snuggles. I am available for longer stays on the weekends or during the week if an overnight stay is okay. I always monitor my dogs while they are outside because I do not have a fenced yard. Neither of my dog's sleep in crates, but I am more than willing to enforce that if needed.
About: I have volunteered and worked with animals for over 6 years. This includes volunteering at local animal shelters and as a a veterinary Assistant for over 4 years. Currently, while I am in school, I work as a professional pet stylist and have over 1.5 years of experience with bathing, giving haircuts, as well as other pet services. My long term goal is to work with and for animals no matter my pathway and to make sure they are safe and happy while they are in my care. I revolve around pet care and I make it work as much as possible with my schedule. I will work with you on your availability as well as mine to make sure everything works out while you are away My goal is to keep your pets safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Just like I would for my own pet. As such, safety is my number one priority when your pet is under my care.
“Awesome first walk! Kaelyn was very attentive to the puppers and their needs and patient with their quirks. My female dog was comfortable and even showed her belly for pats after, which she doesn’t always do with new people! Very much looking forward to having K be part of our regular routine!”
About: I have been growing up around dogs my whole life. As a child and into my teen years, I did the Dog project in 4-H for five years and helped lead the group. I have experience handling and training dogs for obedience and show environments, and I am comfortable with all pets! I have been house-sitting in the summers for many different dog-owners, so I am knowledgeable and experienced in providing care for these animals. My parents' dog (aka "my" dog) is a German Shorthaired Pointer and his name is Murphy. I spend a lot of time with him, and I have a special spot in my heart for all animals. I also spent a couple years co-parenting a little calico cat named Stitch with my best friend. I do also have some experience with reptiles, as I currently have one bearded dragon and one Pac-Man frog in my care. I am unable to have a dog or cat of my own at this stage in my life, due to money and living restraints, but I am thankful when I can spend time with others’ animals in this way. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend and give them lots of love! I am currently a Graduate Admissions Specialist / DSO at the University of Idaho! This means that I do work full-time (8-5 with a 1-hour lunch break) on campus on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I work full-time from home on Thursdays. I do not work weekends and am usually very available if I have not marked it off on my Rover calendar. If your animal is okay/used to being alone for the work day, or can be alone for 4-5 hours at a time, I am the fit for you during the week. I can provide drop-in visits before and after work, and on my lunch break, or I am happy to stay in your home, where I will care for your pet before and after my work day, and during my lunch break if that is most comfortable! If your pet requires more frequent attention, I might be your gal for a weekend trip! On the weekends, I do not work and have lots of time to hang around with your pet(s)! :) At the moment I am not able to be boarding at my own address, and I am open to house-sitting after I have established a positive face-to-face relationship with each client. I will adhere to any and all established rules and routines for animals in their home to provide the most comfortable and safe experience that is possible.
About: I have been watching friends and families pets for as long as I can remember. I started dog-sitting as soon as I turned 16 and was able to spend the night in people's homes. I will make sure your pets get all the love and attention they desire and more. I have watched over a few senior pups, administering medication and helping them up and down stairs. I don't have any certifications in senior dog care, just experience. When you leave your pets in my hands, I can guarantee they will be loved as if they were my own! I am currently working part-time as well as an online student. This means I have a ton of time to play with your pups. I spend a lot of time walking and always appreciate a companion by my side. I am comfortable crating your dog if needed. I will make sure they get all the exercise they need throughout the day as well meeting their meal times with accuracy.

I have been around dogs my entire life and have an automatic caretaking demeanor when faced with a furry lil friend. I was the lucky human to a wonderful pup named Georgia O'Keeffe for the last 12 years and unfortunately had to put her down in January 2026; please let me spoil your dog in honor of my best babe! My schedule is very flexible and I have a reliable car to get me there. Right now dog walking and sitting blend seamlessly around my other work. Pets communicate through their own signals, telling us what they need. It's up to me to get to know your pet by learning their behaviors and patterns. That way I can make sure they are getting the best care available. To me, this is not a hobby or side job to make some extra cash; I take animal care very seriously and have made it my profession so that I can spend my days pouring my love and energy into the animals around me.
About: I provide reliable, compassionate care for cats and dogs of all ages, including kittens, puppies, and seniors. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, administering medications, and providing intermediate-level dog training, including basic obedience reinforcement and good-manner skills. I also have hands-on experience caring for reptiles and fish, including maintaining proper habitat conditions, temperature and humidity control, lighting schedules, and water quality. I follow care instructions closely and treat every pet with patience and respect. Pet care fits well into my routine, and my flexible availability allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. This flexibility lets me maintain reliable schedules, spend quality time with each pet, and adapt to their individual needs. I care for each pet according to their individual home environment and established routine. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure pets remain comfortable in their own space, whether that means maintaining familiar feeding schedules, enrichment, habitat conditions, or household rules. I focus on minimizing stress by respecting what each pet is used to, providing attentive, consistent care that meets their specific needs while they stay in their own home.
“I booked Morgan to help with my dogs post surgery. I was unable to walk without crutches. She walked them daily and did little things here and there that were probably no big deal to her but meant a lot for me! She was kind and easy to work with and my dogs absolutely love her!!”
“Abbi was so nice and great with my dog. She took the time to meet me and my dog before the walk and kept me up to date with how it went. I would definitely recommend her to others!!”
“Allison has been walking my reactive pup, Bodi, for several weeks now. Because of Allison's gentle and calm demeanor, Bodi was comfortable with her right away. She has experience with reactive dogs and listened attentively to my specific instructions on how I manage Bodi's reactivity. She applies her experience, intuition and knowledge of dog body language to keep him under threshold. Allison is a treasure and I wish she could be Bodi's life-long dog walker!”
About: My family and friends have had many pets which I've helped care for. I have experience with various ages of animals from months old to near 20. I am a college student taking online classes, so my days are pretty open and I can fit my class schedule around the needs of your pets. I like to have prior communication about the schedule your pets have so that I can keep the same routine during my time with them. This will help them be less anxious without their people.

“Ravi had such a good time with Amity! He seemed sad to be leaving when we drove off the lot. I took him home and he was tired and well-behaved because he had such a great time playing! Great experience, overall, and will definitely bring my dog here again. Thank you so much!!!”
“Brandi was wonderful with our boy for his first overnight at her house. We got daily updates of how he was doing, and pictures of him playing hard and napping peacefully. She had him neatly packed and ready to go for pickup. He’ll be staying there again!”
“Courtney (and her family) did such a wonderful job watching our dogs while my husband and I were away on vacation. She sent photographs of the dogs every night and gave an update on their day. She was very attentive to their needs. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be coming back to her for future sitting jobs ?”
“Melissa and Ryan are the best. My dog loves going there. She has separation anxiety and they are so patient and helpful in making her feel part of their family. She sends photos and keeps me informed of any concerns that may arise.”
“Barney had playmates and daily outings. He was well cared for and happy to be there. Stephanie even received the coveted Barney snuggles. I would gladly leave him with Stephanie again. I am also looking into day play dates with this sitter.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
“Ashley was great!!! I know my dog was very well taken care of in her home. She gave updates and responded right away when texted! We will absolutely be using her again for any future boarding!!!”
“wonderful host! we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs at Mikayla’s house! we will definitely use her as a rover sitter for any of our dogs in the future. our dog was very comfortable and came home happy as usual<3”
“Amany was absolutely incredible! She was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which was a lifesaver. From the moment we dropped off our two dogs, we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Amany provided consistent updates throughout the day, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and having a blast with her! Her attention to detail, love for animals, and excellent communication truly set her apart. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and we highly recommend Amany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi I’m Erin, I will be the one to give your pet plenty of love and walks whenever they need it! I will be able to pet sit when you want to have a weekend get away or drop in visits to check on your pets. Throughout my 18 years I have been raised around all types of different animals from the smallest to the largest. Such as tiny mice and guinea pigs to horses and cows. I have my own two dogs an a horse while my parents still have a little farm. I have pet sat for others before and absolutely loved it! I am a college student and will be working part time but I don’t have to many classes and will have multiple breaks for to walk or check your pets! I have a flexible schedule so finding openings that fit work best. It fits in-between classes and time when I’m not doing anything on the weekends or when I don’t have class. I love to spoil my pets at home. My dogs sleep with me in my bed and so do my cats. I treat them like my children and couldn’t live without them.
“Lily was fantastic with my small Pomeranian mix! Ember is a bit nervous around new people, but immediately took to Lily and they had a great time together with lots of attention and walks. Communication was great too... I highly recommend Lily! ☺️”
“Hannah was amazing! She took great care of our boy Cyrus. She was very good at communicating and sending pictures when we asked for updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our baby with her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a young teenager. Mostly dogs and cats of my own, however I love meeting new animals. My strengths derive from my hard work ethic and passion for helping others. I’m a fast learner and am confident following instructions to exact standards. I am a teacher. During the summer I look for part time jobs. This job makes me feel like I’m doing something meaningful. My pets love to spend the extra time with me during the summer so I think others would too. I have large rooms on hardwood flooring. Animals can be crated, put in living room, or free to roam. I have a friendly dog who loves to make friends but can be kept away when needed. I like to take my dog on walks but I would only walk animals as recommended. I check my animals food and water twice a day. I also make sure to check that my dog has seen the new bowl of food at times.
About: I have seen and taken care of many different pets. I have a lot of energy and will show your pet the attention it deserves. I have been around many cats and dogs and have had birds in the past and currently have a dwarf gerbil. I am a 21 year old student at the University of Idaho. I have had all sorts of pets and really just enjoy the happiness they bring me. I have a part time job and school but am still pretty flexible. I am very detail oriented and like to think I am pretty responsible. I love pets so I would never want anything bad to happen to one of my pets or anyone else's.
About: I’ll take good care of your fur babies, like they’re my own. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. What sets me apart is that I will not neglect your pet. We are available at all times to ensure that your dog is well cared for and given the attention he/she deserves. Will have access to a big backyard to run around in and stretch out their legs or if they just simply want to enjoy the sunshine for a bit. It will be like a vacation for them, while you enjoy your trip knowing that your furbaby is in good hands. We are home weekly and are able to care for your dog as they are our own. Can feed dogs specialty food, walk your dog and even throw a ball if they like that. Can give medication if needed for older dogs.
About: My family has lots of dogs ranging from 150 lbs to 7 lbs. I have taken care of them since I was 10 years old. My schedule is very open, I only have class on Tuesday and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is open all day for me to watch. I am active so your dog will be walked and taken outside very often. My house is big so lots of room to play around.
“Shoshana was so kind to my dog and was very reliable. Her warmth and love of animals was very apparent from our first meeting. I was able to go away with complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was being so well cared for.”
About: What can I say, people are crazy but animals just make sense 😂 I've grown up with cats since I was an infant, they're truly the prefect animal, can't change my mind! I also have experience with dogs, some reptiles, assorted rodents including guinea pigs, and fish. Outside of that, I'm a fast learner, not afraid of much, and capable of following instructions. I'd love to meet your fur baby! I work full time, so we will just need to talk and figure out schedules. I can usually make it work. I have a reliable car I have a lot of yard space, most of it not fenced unfortunately but I have multiple runners. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in the bottom of a full sized house, so it's spacious and stays cool in the summer. I have a kennel but use it sparingly. My own dogs get taken to one of several parks every morning to run off energy, as well as car rides and walks around the neighborhood. They live their rams horn filled with yogurt or peanut butter and frozen, for their inside time! I try to keep things stimulating As for care in your home, you tell me! I'll adapt to your needs as best I can :)
