“Joy, Joe and Scout were absolutely wonderful with our Mia girl! From the very beginning, they were communicative, professional, and incredibly personable. It was clear they genuinely cared about making sure Mia felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away. They were also very accommodating and worked around our schedule for both drop-off and pick-up, which we truly appreciated. An added bonus was getting to spend a little time chatting with them—they are genuinely kind, interesting people, and the great conversation made the entire experience even better. They kept us updated throughout Mia's stay with messages, a photo, and even a video, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part was seeing Mia's affection toward Joy when we picked her up. In such a short amount of time, they had built a bond and earned her trust, which meant the world to us. Leaving your furry child with someone else can be stressful, but Joy and Joe made the entire experience easy and worry-free. We are so grateful for the love and care they showed Mia and would not hesitate to book with them again. Thank you, Joy, Joe and Scout, for taking such wonderful care of our girl. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters!”
“Andrew went about and beyond with our sweet Lab, Kai. He asked lots of questions and made sure he had all that he needed to take great care of her. Being a Lab, she loves water so he also made sure she was able to play in the river. He kept her on a long lead, ensuring her safety and under his control. He sent us lots of updates, pictures, and videos, so we felt very comfortable knowing Kai was in good hands. We will definitely use his services again!”
“Kira was very sweet to my dog and super flexible to work with. She reached out beforehand with a phone call to make sure we were on the same page for the sitting, which made me feel that she was responsible and trustworthy. She’s active and will definitely exercise your dog if you want it. I also received a picture of my dog and her dog curled up together next to her bed for the night.”
“Rebecca (and her family) are simply the best!! We would use them 1000x over. Rebecca’s an amazing communicator and goes above and beyond to make your pet feel special and VERY loved!! Thank you!”
“David - thank you for taking care of Taggert. I really hate being away from my dog. The way you observed my dog and me and instinctively knew how to put us at ease is so much appreciated. From the photos, I could tell he was well cared for and having a good time. Just what I needed during the ski race. I'd write a longer review, but Taggert wants me to hustle over to the grocery and get him, "the good cookies", that you gave him! Thanks again - Senja & Taggert”
About: I have owned mastiffs in German shepherds for the last 20 years and I’ve had pets my life. I am retired and love working with animals. I am available most days and evenings. I have a five-year-old German Shepherd who loves everybody but before boarding I would love for the pets to meet. If you need to drop off your pets for a few hours or longer, she will be here, but if I’m walking your pet for drop ins, she doesn’t need to be there. I have a very dog friendly home. Dogs are allowed on the furniture on my bed and it’s just me and my puppy so I do have a crate if dogs feel more comfortable. She likes to sleep in her sometimes but I am a crate free home I live in Elkhorn have a nice walking path and will always have your dog on a leash. My dog is off leash trained, but I always have others pets on leash.
“Amber was great!! Gus came home wiped out from play and adventure. We loved the photo updates as well. Great communication. We were so relieved and happy to see how happy Gus was in the photos - knowing he was having a great weekend helped us to do the same!”
About: Passionate dog lover and responsible caregiver, I am excited to embark on this journey as a dedicated dog sitter. With a deep affection for our four-legged companions, I prioritize their well-being, offering a reliable and attentive service. Punctuality, trustworthiness, and a genuine love for animals define my approach. I am committed to ensuring your pets feel happy and secure in my care. As a newcomer, I am eager to build lasting connections with both dogs and their owners. You won't regret choosing me to provide the love and attention your furry friends deserve. "As a retiree, I bring abundant energy and time for your pet's care. Whether active adventures or peaceful moments on a park bench, your furry friend gets the perfect companionship." "Whether in your home or mine, rest assured, I'm attentive to your furry friend's needs and safety. Will always be consistent on what your expectations are for care of your furry friend.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labs and giving them several walks a day was always a high priority so they could burn up all that energy!I understand the importance of a good walk and how it can also be tough to squeeze in sometimes on a busy day. So don’t spend the day feeling guilty if your schedule won’t allow time to give your dog a walk. I can help. We usually let our dogs off the leash so they could run and fetch, but if you would rather me keep them on a leash that is what I will do. I have lived in the area for a while so I know plenty of spots to take them, or if you have preferred routes I will do that. On 3 occasions over the past couple years I have stayed with my sister and her husbands two dogs (lab mixed with Aussie Shepard) for a week at a time. They have as strict of a walking routine/diet as you can imagine and I had no problems satisfying their needs. I also understand that when traveling you cannot always bring your pet with you and putting them in a doggie hotel is both expensive and not a good time for them. If you’d like them to remain in the comfort of your home I’m happy to spend time with them and make sure they are comforted through that period. I work mornings from 5:30-noonish 5 days a week. I am available from 1 until 8 or 9 for walks or check-in’s, feeding, cleaning up. I’m a very active person so can take your dog on long walks, a hike or just play in the yard if preferred. My parents who are often not in town have a large very nice condo in elkhorn that is pet friendly that is available for use. There is an upstairs deck available off the living room for them to go between for them to get some fresh air The yard is not fenced so downstairs I could not leave them to roam. But neighborhood is quiet with a great path for walking them, also have trails out into the desert I could take them if alright.

I am able to give all forms of medications, including insulin and subcutaneous fluids. I have 2 dogs and four cats at home. My first few photos are of my pets and the rest are of pets I have taken care of in the past. I am currently working mid-valley during the week and have flexibility my schedule. I live in Bellevue and can travel to Sun Valley, Ketchum, and Hailey. I typically stay overnight at a client's house to give some continuity to the pet. I can take pets to the vet and am comfortable medicating cats and dogs.
“Natalia's home is like a doggy spa + slumber party! It is so comforting to know that Coco is cared for when I have to travel without her. Natalia provided daily updates and pictures/videos - which was such a sweet reminder that Coco is living her best life at the dog sitters house!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and other animals since I was a child. I have assisted dog groomers and worked at a doggy wash and store. Customers and clients have relied on me to bathe, walk, and look after their pets. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, so I’m available before and after work for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I usually have Fridays off, which gives me additional flexibility. On Sundays, I either work from home or go into work for only a couple of hours. Overall, my schedule is consistent and allows me plenty of time to provide reliable daily care and attention. In a clients home I would of course respect their space and environment. My only job would be to look after your pet and ensure all services are done with care and trust.
About: I grew up with hound dogs and helped care for them from the time I was 7 years old. As an adult I have 2 dogs myself who I love to take out trail running and hiking.

“Nicholas has been watching Dexter for a few weeks now, and is wonderful at just letting Dexter lead the day. He's reliable, consistent, and very intuitive with the D man. So grateful to have found him!!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, and honestly, my life just doesn’t feel complete without them. I’ve had 3 dogs, 3 cats and lots of different animal. Ever since I was little, I’ve always been gentle and caring with every animal. Animals aren’t just pets to me they’re family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m studying psychology and hope to combine that with my love for animals in the future, maybe as a vet or through therapy work. For now, I bring experience, care, and a lot of love to every pet I get to look after. I’m currently working part-time until September 15. I usually work 12–7 PM, and my days off are Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m free all day then. On other days, I’m available for dog walks in the morning before work or in the evening after. I have a house back in my home country in Europe, and I currently have a dog and a cat. My dog lives inside but gets lots of outdoor time, and my cat goes in and out as she pleases. I walk my dog three times a day, and sometimes we go on long hikes. I really believe dogs should spend as much time outside as possible, get plenty of exercise, love, and a good diet. In my home, pets are safe, happy, and super well cared for. I’d give the same care, attention, and love to any pets I look after making sure they’re happy, safe, and well taken care of.

About: Growing up, my family, along with dogs had cats. 5 over the years. I have always got along very well with cats and they seem to like me. I’ve watched friends cats a few times and everything went great. I don’t agree when people roll their eyes at cats or insist dog are better. They are both great and unique in their own way

About: I have been trained in emergency response (Wildland Firefighter Certified) and will jump into action with a level head to ensure the safety of your pet should the need arise. I have cared for pets of all personalities! I used to WWOOF on farms across the states that had various animals (dogs, cats, sheep, chickens) and I would often look after the animals while the owners were away, which included cleaning up after them, feeding them, watering them, and making sure any risky situations (like window blind strings) were tucked away out of reach. I have cat sitted in college for a friend while she was away for a week. I also periodically volunteered at a cat cafe and an SPCA for 3 months. I work full-time, about 35 hours per week. Usually I wake up and go to gym before work. However, sometimes I feel like I have too much free time before work, so I'm looking to do some dog walking to fill in my free time before the gym! I'm available Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 7am-2pm because that's the time I have before my usual shift. I usually like to go camping on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but if you need me to do some dog walking or sitting on those days, let me know 3 days in advance and I can see what I'd be willing to take on! I can crate your dog if needed, play with them using toys, clean up messes, and ensure they're not getting into trouble. I'll also ask you if there is anything in your home that has been a risk to your pet's safety in the past, such as window blind strings, and ensure that they are tucked away out of reach. I can feed your pet and take it outside for poops.

I'll also ask you if there is anything in your home that has been a risk to your pet's safety in the past, such as window blind strings, and ensure that they are tucked away out of reach. I can feed your pet and take it outside for poops.

“Joy, Joe and Scout were absolutely wonderful with our Mia girl! From the very beginning, they were communicative, professional, and incredibly personable. It was clear they genuinely cared about making sure Mia felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away. They were also very accommodating and worked around our schedule for both drop-off and pick-up, which we truly appreciated. An added bonus was getting to spend a little time chatting with them—they are genuinely kind, interesting people, and the great conversation made the entire experience even better. They kept us updated throughout Mia's stay with messages, a photo, and even a video, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part was seeing Mia's affection toward Joy when we picked her up. In such a short amount of time, they had built a bond and earned her trust, which meant the world to us. Leaving your furry child with someone else can be stressful, but Joy and Joe made the entire experience easy and worry-free. We are so grateful for the love and care they showed Mia and would not hesitate to book with them again. Thank you, Joy, Joe and Scout, for taking such wonderful care of our girl. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters!”
“Andrew went about and beyond with our sweet Lab, Kai. He asked lots of questions and made sure he had all that he needed to take great care of her. Being a Lab, she loves water so he also made sure she was able to play in the river. He kept her on a long lead, ensuring her safety and under his control. He sent us lots of updates, pictures, and videos, so we felt very comfortable knowing Kai was in good hands. We will definitely use his services again!”
“Kira was very sweet to my dog and super flexible to work with. She reached out beforehand with a phone call to make sure we were on the same page for the sitting, which made me feel that she was responsible and trustworthy. She’s active and will definitely exercise your dog if you want it. I also received a picture of my dog and her dog curled up together next to her bed for the night.”
“Rebecca (and her family) are simply the best!! We would use them 1000x over. Rebecca’s an amazing communicator and goes above and beyond to make your pet feel special and VERY loved!! Thank you!”
“David - thank you for taking care of Taggert. I really hate being away from my dog. The way you observed my dog and me and instinctively knew how to put us at ease is so much appreciated. From the photos, I could tell he was well cared for and having a good time. Just what I needed during the ski race. I'd write a longer review, but Taggert wants me to hustle over to the grocery and get him, "the good cookies", that you gave him! Thanks again - Senja & Taggert”
About: I have owned mastiffs in German shepherds for the last 20 years and I’ve had pets my life. I am retired and love working with animals. I am available most days and evenings. I have a five-year-old German Shepherd who loves everybody but before boarding I would love for the pets to meet. If you need to drop off your pets for a few hours or longer, she will be here, but if I’m walking your pet for drop ins, she doesn’t need to be there. I have a very dog friendly home. Dogs are allowed on the furniture on my bed and it’s just me and my puppy so I do have a crate if dogs feel more comfortable. She likes to sleep in her sometimes but I am a crate free home I live in Elkhorn have a nice walking path and will always have your dog on a leash. My dog is off leash trained, but I always have others pets on leash.
“Amber was great!! Gus came home wiped out from play and adventure. We loved the photo updates as well. Great communication. We were so relieved and happy to see how happy Gus was in the photos - knowing he was having a great weekend helped us to do the same!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with two labs and giving them several walks a day was always a high priority so they could burn up all that energy!I understand the importance of a good walk and how it can also be tough to squeeze in sometimes on a busy day. So don’t spend the day feeling guilty if your schedule won’t allow time to give your dog a walk. I can help. We usually let our dogs off the leash so they could run and fetch, but if you would rather me keep them on a leash that is what I will do. I have lived in the area for a while so I know plenty of spots to take them, or if you have preferred routes I will do that. On 3 occasions over the past couple years I have stayed with my sister and her husbands two dogs (lab mixed with Aussie Shepard) for a week at a time. They have as strict of a walking routine/diet as you can imagine and I had no problems satisfying their needs. I also understand that when traveling you cannot always bring your pet with you and putting them in a doggie hotel is both expensive and not a good time for them. If you’d like them to remain in the comfort of your home I’m happy to spend time with them and make sure they are comforted through that period. I work mornings from 5:30-noonish 5 days a week. I am available from 1 until 8 or 9 for walks or check-in’s, feeding, cleaning up. I’m a very active person so can take your dog on long walks, a hike or just play in the yard if preferred. My parents who are often not in town have a large very nice condo in elkhorn that is pet friendly that is available for use. There is an upstairs deck available off the living room for them to go between for them to get some fresh air The yard is not fenced so downstairs I could not leave them to roam. But neighborhood is quiet with a great path for walking them, also have trails out into the desert I could take them if alright.
“Natalia's home is like a doggy spa + slumber party! It is so comforting to know that Coco is cared for when I have to travel without her. Natalia provided daily updates and pictures/videos - which was such a sweet reminder that Coco is living her best life at the dog sitters house!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and other animals since I was a child. I have assisted dog groomers and worked at a doggy wash and store. Customers and clients have relied on me to bathe, walk, and look after their pets. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, so I’m available before and after work for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I usually have Fridays off, which gives me additional flexibility. On Sundays, I either work from home or go into work for only a couple of hours. Overall, my schedule is consistent and allows me plenty of time to provide reliable daily care and attention. In a clients home I would of course respect their space and environment. My only job would be to look after your pet and ensure all services are done with care and trust.
About: I grew up with hound dogs and helped care for them from the time I was 7 years old. As an adult I have 2 dogs myself who I love to take out trail running and hiking. Whether your pet needs playtime, gentle care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm here to help. Your dog will be treated like family here. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know exactly how they're doing. Feel free to message me with any questions, I’d love to meet you and your pet! I work 4 days a week. I’m free for drop-ins and walks before and after work, plus fully available for the weekend. I’m an active person and enjoy using my free time to care for and exercise dogs. Pets are allowed on furniture, its their home too! I live in a townhouse but can take them out for potty breaks on the bike path.
“Jori did a great job watching our Nellie. We brought home a very tired pup from all the playing with Jori's dog Samson and trail walking they did. We would love to use Jori again and would highly recommend her!”

I’m comfortable with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’m happy to tailor everything—exercise, routines, meds, cuddles—to whatever your dog needs to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

I work for a local non profit and have a flexible schedule for the most part, working from and the office when I have meetings. I can easily sync with your schedule and your dog’s routine.
