“Brandi is fantastic! She happened to be his vet tech during an emergency visit, and the familiar face put our boy at ease. Later he stayed with her while still on his meds from his incident, and I felt completely confident having him in her care. He whines at the door to see her at dropoff, and comes home happy and tired. We love Bravdi 🤩”
“Chelsea was wonderful to work with! She had great communication and kept us updated with how our pup was doing! Our little Ti came back happy and I felt confident the whole time we were away! Highly recommend :)”
“I was so nervous about having to leave my service dog for a month to go out of the country! Courtney and her family gave him so much love and attention. She even sent me a picture every day so I could see how he was doing. I hate leaving my boy ever, but I will have much more peace of mind now if I do have to, knowing he will be loved and cared for.”
“2nd time we've used Melissa and Matt and everything went great. Flexible on drop off and pick up which had been super helpful. Great communication and get pics along the way! Will definitely use again.”
“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!”
“I took my Bella miko and my friend’s dog Mia for an overnight and extra day stay and they have a great time! Excited that I have someone dependable to watch sweet Bella Miko!”
“Ashley did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of my sweet corgi girl nala while I was on vacation! It was my first time leaving her at someone else’s house for that long & ashley made me feel so comfortable with the process & I knew my sweetie would be taken care of to the fullest! She sent pics & chatted with me every day thru out the week & checked in with me on any changes ahead of time. 10000% recommend her & her boarding services, dog walking, etc.!!!!”
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! UPDATE: I have moved to Lewiston, ID as of 7/31/2026. I still commute to work in Moscow, ID for the time being, but will be available in the mornings before work and evenings after. I am currently looking for a full-time remote job or position located in Lewiston. I will update this section once my employment situation changes! 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.
“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!”
“Mikayla is absolutely amazing! I don’t have enough kind/positive words to describe our experience. We boarded our 2 dogs with her for just under a week. One of our dogs is very scared of strangers, but Mikayla had him warmed up and part of the family in just a couple of days! I was so impressed and glad to know that both my babies were taken care of and loved just as they are at home (if not more!). Thank you, Mikayla!”
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.
“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! ☺️”
“Amany was great with our dog, and her kids seemed really involved too. Communication was good, with some photos and videos during his overnight stay. We would definitely have him stay with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m the proud owner of a 3-year-old high-energy Aussiedoodle named Arlo, so I’m very comfortable meeting the needs of active, intelligent dogs who thrive on routine, exercise, and attention. We spend our weekends hiking and exploring the outdoors, which has given me a strong appreciation for physical and mental enrichment for pets. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I strive to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care so both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether it’s keeping up with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. On weekdays, I work from 8–5 but live close enough to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feeding check-ins, and some one-on-one time. Pets are never left alone all day and get consistent care throughout the day. Mornings and evenings include walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime at home. On weekends, my schedule is very flexible, which allows for longer walks, outdoor adventures, and extra attention. I’m especially comfortable caring for high-energy dogs and making sure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. I care for pets in my home just like I do my own dog — with lots of attention, routine, and love. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, and any special instructions, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and downtime. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, including high-energy dogs. I work 8–5 on weekdays but come home at lunch for walks and check-ins, so pets aren’t left alone all day. On weekends, we enjoy longer walks, outdoor time, and a relaxed pace. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home while keeping owners updated and worry-free.
“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: I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, and even farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I believe they deserve care that's tailored specifically to them. I'm comfortable caring for puppies who need patience, consistency, and lots of play, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler pace, extra attention, and sticking to familiar routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I'm attentive to detail, reliable, and committed to following your pet's routine exactly as instructed (including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care needs). My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving you complete peace of mind through dependable communication and thoughtful care. Beginning in late August through mid-December 2026, I'll be student teaching during the weekdays. During that time, I'm available for morning visits before school, afternoon and evening walks or drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. My schedule is consistent and allows me to plan ahead, so I can provide dependable, reliable care around my teaching responsibilities. Before and after student teaching, I’ll work as a substitute and be much more available. I have a fenced yard and one personal dog. I am able to separate the dogs and provide your dog quality attention as often as desired.
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.

“Corra was great! She checked in on my cat and made sure she had everything she needed while I was away. She played with her and sent me the cutest pictures! I would rebook with Corra again.”
“Best sitter for my two cats! Kaelyn did a great job communicating, keeping us updated, was very kind, and while we had a bit of a process for her regarding our cats, she did a great job following directions and taking care of everything. Would love to hire her 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”
About: U of I student with flexible availability. I love to walk dogs, throw the ball, play tug of war. I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Flexible availability. I have at least a couple hours of availability every day, if not more. Just reach out and we can figure out a schedule that works for you. I will do everything I can to ensure your dog or cat is healthy, happy and safe. I strive to maintain a high level of accountability, transparency and respect.
“Katherine took great care of our two cats! She’s also a very talented photographer and we’ll be saving many of the daily photos she sent because they’re so artfully done. We will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Tanna was over the top great. She kept me posted on how things were, sent me photos. My cat who is a barfer, did not barf once. Apparently she has a magic touch. He seemed like he gained weight, which he needs. My house was pristine when I got home. Reliable and gets animals!”
“Chelsea was incredible. Due to a medical emergency, we needed a long term sitter at short notice. Chelsea stepped up to the plate, came to the house to collect my two cats and took great care of them for a full six weeks. She stayed in touch with pictures and updates. We are so grateful for her help and support!”
About: I have had a cat since I was 7, taking care of it myself. I have been cat-sitting since I was 10. I currently have a 13 year old russin blue/calico mix cat, and she is my baby.
“Stephanie dropped in to look after our cats for a full week while we were away. She was communicative and went above and beyond to care for our pets. She even watered our plants! We highly recommend Stephanie for pet sitting.”
About: I have had a plethora of dogs growing up all ranging from little Pomeranians to cattle driven Border Collies to Great big Danes! In my four years of pet experience, I worked with two Cane Corso’s training, walking, cleaning up all their drool, washing them, and overnight watching them from puppies together till I had to sadly leave them to come to school this year. I watched them everyday for 5+ hours, taking them on walks and always was willing to drive them to the mountains because I know how much they love the snow. I am willing to take your dogs anywhere to reach their maximum happiness and the 10,000 steps dogs need too! I never missed a day of sitting them and if I had to miss one, I always made sure to rely that information with plenty of time ahead. I am in the agriculture industry, and am strong enough and not afraid to deal with reactive and high energy dogs, since I have experience with both. I would love to see the adventures I can take your pets on! I am a student at the University of Idaho, but M/W/F before 8:30, and after 1:30 I am available to book any service! Tuesday’s I am free to give my undivided attention to any pup or cat! Usually my afternoons consist of homework and taking my own puppy on walks and to the park to play fetch. So taking care of animals and putting my time forward to pets is not second nature, it’s a routine! I make sure I keep my pup on a specific time of eating and walking during the week so she does not get stressed out or worried. I have a large dog crate in my home that can be used. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a large field behind me that me and a pet can go and play in. My house already has one pup who gets along with any type of dog and is very passive. She is not a huge cat lover.
About: I’ve had years of experience since I was young taking care of stray cats (adults to kittens), and I have two cats of my own. I’m well versed in cleaning litter boxes, fountains, etc, and I have a lot of experience with wary cats that take awhile to warm up!
“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.”
“Lily was so patient with me and my cat. I have a very shy cat and she normally hides under the bed when she’s in new places. This was our first time using this service and I absolutely love that we found Lily. I was nervous, but Lily made us feel very comfortable sending us pictures and updates of how my Mia was doing. We definitely would love to have her take care of Mia for us. Absolutely recommend her and can’t thank her enough for being so patient with my super shy kitty!!”
About: I have cared for our personal cat, Lucy. She was estimated to be 14 when we adopted her, and unfortunately she was only in our lives for a short time period, we provided end of life care as she was extremely overweight and had severe arthritis. Otherwise, I have cared for all age ranges and temperaments volunteering at the local shelter and working at a vet clinic.

“Brandi is absolutely amazing. My pup loved her so much she would always get excited when we drove up to the house. I highly recommend her to care for your pet and will be booking again if available.”
About: My experience with dogs has ranged from personal ownership: (raised with two mixed breeds, and owned a WHIPPET for fourteen years), to boarding dogs, to working at a doggie daycare, and working for a dog walking company. Currently I am a stay at home mom to three kids- so I am home most of the time, including weekends. If I do step out, for errands, appointments, and such, I will absolutely make sure your pet has had enough walks/potty breaks. We have a fenced yard, and a great neighborhood for walking. My family, and I will work consistently to make sure your pooch feels comfortable, and loved. That said, for safety reasons I choose not to share photos of my kids on my profile page- regardless, they are great with dogs! My time is flexible in that I can work around my families schedule to provide boarding for your pet(s). We look forward to meeting you/them! I can provide care for your dog(s), by following the schedule you have set for them. I love walking, and playing fetch with dogs! My kids especially love helping out with fetch. 😊 Pet care works easily with my daily, and weekly schedule, because I am a stay at home mom, and therefore home most of the time. In my home pets will be taken care of first and foremost with lots of love, (pets/snuggles). Secondly, pets will be taken care of by administering their daily needs of food, water, snacks, (if they have any), and meds, (if they have any).
About: I have been pet sitting for most of my life as well as caring for my own animals at home. I have worked at, volunteered at, and fostered for dog and cat shelters as well as many other animals, and have volunteered and worked at a veterinary teaching hospital. You will not find someone more passionate or empathetic about animals of any and all shapes and sizes. When people weren’t there for me, my animals were, and I have vowed to be there just the same for them. I am a strong creature of habit, and love a good structured routine to my day. Feeding all of my animals is a heavy part of that, and the best part. I start and finish my days making sure everyone is fed, loved, and happy, and if they are then it is a good day. Being able to take a lunch break to visit more animals is an added bonus that I will look forward to all day. I always make sure to specialize care to the animals themselves, and mimic how their own parents care for them. If an animal needs more frequent visits, longer visits, extra play time, medications, specialized meal plans or supervised meals I will always accommodate to the best of my ability. I will never leave an animal until they are satisfied with my service.
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.
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have had pets since I was born, and from age 5 I started to help withtheir care. I have always had a deep love for animals. I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, etc. I may not be a professional, however, I believe I am pretty knowledgeable about cats and dogs, their care, and some training. 3rd year in college, studying mathematics at WSU. I have had pets all my life back home and I loved them all sooo much. I am free most of days of the week in between my classes, good for drop ins and dog walks :) Lots of play, cuddle, excercise and attention. What ever the pet needs and wants, I try my best to fullfil. If they need to let out energy, let them play in the yard, if they need alone time, let them nap, etc. Lots of toys and enrichment activities, and lots of love.

“Mikayla did awesome with my 75lb Pyrenees mix. We did a meet and greet the day before and my dog got into just about everything but Mikayla was so understanding. I will definitely be booking with Mikayla again!”
About: I have had animals in my life since I was 1. I am dedicated to meeting every animals personal needs to the absolute best of my abilities. I am most people's go-to person for animal advice. I am a college student so my hours of availability are a bit different throughout the week, however almost every week will be the same. I will be very open about my availability and update it as soon as possible. I have a dog and a cat, they can be kept separate if needed. I also have a medium sized dog crate if your pet requires one. I am quick to respond to text messages and will go above and beyond for your pet. I have an electric scooter which I can use to quickly arrive for drop-ins.
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 have loved and adored dogs since I was able to walk on my own. I have owned a large number of dogs over the years. My wife and I currently own a Brittany, a Golden Collie, and an old herding dog. My dogs enjoy a huge fenced back yard while also having 12 acres to run around and burn energy. I am a caretaker of my father in law and am at home during the day. I own three dogs that love socializing and meeting new friends I live on 12 acres can walk and play with your dogs. I have several dog crates for evening sleeping if needed (larger breeds may need to provide their own). Access to water to play in, drinking water, treats and training time. I am happy to provide the love your fur babies deserve while you enjoy your vacation!

“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 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.

“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!!”
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. I have a pretty open schedule, single mom to a couple of boys and pet mom to one sweet cat. I love snuggling any animal. So I live in an apartment but very frequently go out to trails and parks with my kids, I would have no problem including your pet!
About: I have been taking care of pets for about 3 years for my family and friends. I mainly take care of any type of dog, and I mainly stay at my friends’ houses if needed, but i have also had pets stay with me as well. I am currently a college student and will be in Coeur d Alene for the summer time (May-August) and in Moscow during the school year (August-May). During the breaks I will also be back in Coeur d Alene, so I love to help out whenever I can! I have a line that goes around my back yard, and I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. My cats are outdoor and indoor cats, and my dogs are indoor and very friendly.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a pre-teen, but fell in love with animal care fully in my junior year of high school, after I began volunteering at the Everett Animal Shelter. Since then, I have changed positions and worked as a post-surgery volunteer with PAWS, transporting and handling anesthetized animals after they underwent surgeries. This summer I am also interning at PAWS again, this time as a Foster Care Intern, where I manage the entire foster care system behind the scenes. Additionally, I have worked with large animals such as horses while volunteering, managed and milked dairy cattle, and took care of pigs as my job on the side. I will continue to grow my portfolio, as I am a Pre-Vet Animal Science major at Washington State University with the goal of becoming a veterinarian one day. I am currently on summer break in my hometown (Everett) and have pretty open availability. I intern at paws from 8am-12pm on Sundays & Mondays, and 12-5pm on Thursdays, but other than that, I am free for walks, house sitting, or drop ins! Safety is extremely important during both house sitting & walks! For walks, I like to make sure dogs stay on the side of the sidewalk away from the road, as well as being properly harnessed and equipped with essential needs like poop bags and water incase of an emergency. I also keep a sharp eye out for other dogs to steer clear from unwanted interactions. Additionally, during house sitting, outside doors stay locked at all times, and your pet is watched 24/7. No escapes will happen on my watch! I am open to following any other rules, expectations or suggestions you have regarding your pet & house’s safety!
“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’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 have 4 dogs of my own. My Mastiff and my little dashund mix are geriatric and spend their time on their orthopedic beds. My two younger dogs are a mini Aussie and golden retriever. They are both very social due to me running a doggy daycare. I am insured and have clientele outside of Rover 😊 I have two fenced yards and currently working on completing a dog park on our property. The downstairs apartment of our home was turned into a dog palace with one room dedicated to kitties. My niece lives with me and she is a vet tech at a Lewiston vet clinic. She is very helpful with my doggy daycare and boarding. I also have a 16yr old who is absolutely amazing with animals. Meet and greets are always welcome! I currently run a full time doggy daycare and boarding from my home. I am insured outside of Rover as well. My home is completely set up for pets and I have a live in vet tech. I have 2 fenced backyards and a house that is 2 separate dwellings. I have .7 acres of run around room and an almost 3,000 sq ft home.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and ages. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m committed to providing personalized care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student on summer break with a completely flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the week. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible.

I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.
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. Being there when a pet is in need is something I can always do. I just graduated so I have tons of free time to take pets on walks, pet sit, and play with. I am super flexible and super easy to contact. I have a fenced off one acre years for any pet to enjoy and play with my black lab. I have room for a kennel and also have a kennel if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a part of who I am. I currently have a 7-month-old red tri Australian Shepherd named Bear, and he’s taught me so much about working with energetic, playful pups! I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your dog wants a long walk, a game of fetch, lots of belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates because I know how comforting it is to see your pup happy while you’re away! Hi!

About: I have had extensive experience caring for livestock animals, and have done some dog sitting and care here and there. About to graduate with an animal science degree this upcoming fall! I am currently working part- time as a veterinary assistant so I do have general veterinary care experience. I Have cared for my personal dogs, cat and horse and would love to give your furry friends some love !! I am currently a college student, so I have a fairly flexible schedule! Just shoot me a message and we can figure out the best schedule for both of us! I am willing to come to clients home to care for furry friends. Unfortunately our personal dog is a little too shy so bringing animals into our home is not currently an option. I can come for meals, and check in throughout the day or I can stay all day with your furry babies.
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.

“Brandi is fantastic! She happened to be his vet tech during an emergency visit, and the familiar face put our boy at ease. Later he stayed with her while still on his meds from his incident, and I felt completely confident having him in her care. He whines at the door to see her at dropoff, and comes home happy and tired. We love Bravdi 🤩”
“I was so nervous about having to leave my service dog for a month to go out of the country! Courtney and her family gave him so much love and attention. She even sent me a picture every day so I could see how he was doing. I hate leaving my boy ever, but I will have much more peace of mind now if I do have to, knowing he will be loved and cared for.”
“2nd time we've used Melissa and Matt and everything went great. Flexible on drop off and pick up which had been super helpful. Great communication and get pics along the way! Will definitely use again.”
“I took my Bella miko and my friend’s dog Mia for an overnight and extra day stay and they have a great time! Excited that I have someone dependable to watch sweet Bella Miko!”
“Ashley did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of my sweet corgi girl nala while I was on vacation! It was my first time leaving her at someone else’s house for that long & ashley made me feel so comfortable with the process & I knew my sweetie would be taken care of to the fullest! She sent pics & chatted with me every day thru out the week & checked in with me on any changes ahead of time. 10000% recommend her & her boarding services, dog walking, etc.!!!!”
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! UPDATE: I have moved to Lewiston, ID as of 7/31/2026. I still commute to work in Moscow, ID for the time being, but will be available in the mornings before work and evenings after. I am currently looking for a full-time remote job or position located in Lewiston. I will update this section once my employment situation changes! 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.
“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!”
“Mikayla is absolutely amazing! I don’t have enough kind/positive words to describe our experience. We boarded our 2 dogs with her for just under a week. One of our dogs is very scared of strangers, but Mikayla had him warmed up and part of the family in just a couple of days! I was so impressed and glad to know that both my babies were taken care of and loved just as they are at home (if not more!). Thank you, Mikayla!”
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.
“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! ☺️”
“Amany was great with our dog, and her kids seemed really involved too. Communication was good, with some photos and videos during his overnight stay. We would definitely have him stay with her again.”
“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: I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, and even farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I believe they deserve care that's tailored specifically to them. I'm comfortable caring for puppies who need patience, consistency, and lots of play, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler pace, extra attention, and sticking to familiar routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I'm attentive to detail, reliable, and committed to following your pet's routine exactly as instructed (including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care needs). My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving you complete peace of mind through dependable communication and thoughtful care. Beginning in late August through mid-December 2026, I'll be student teaching during the weekdays. During that time, I'm available for morning visits before school, afternoon and evening walks or drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. My schedule is consistent and allows me to plan ahead, so I can provide dependable, reliable care around my teaching responsibilities. Before and after student teaching, I’ll work as a substitute and be much more available. I have a fenced yard and one personal dog. I am able to separate the dogs and provide your dog quality attention as often as desired.
