Personalized care for your dog or cat - Palisades

“We dropped our 1.5-year-old (Energy!!!) Australian Shepard, Beta, with Meg & family and we left saying, "What a perfect fit. He is in such great hands". Meg sent us updates and photos throughout Beta's stay. They took him on long walks, explored the creek, and played with him at the house. When we picked him back up it was like he was part of the family! They took amazing care. Would book again and again and again.”

Rhianna W.

“Randy was absolutely fantastic watching Ranger! She was very kind, communicative, took Ranger for hikes in a nearby creek and made him feel right at home. I was able to explore the Tetons with total peace of mind, and my little boy was glowing when I picked him up. We hope to book again one day!”

Walter W.

“Mike is fantastic. Continuous pictures of our Molly having fun. Mike asked all the right questions to make sure Molly was well cared for and comfortable. Mike’s home was comfortable for our girl. So thoughtful and caring. Highly recommend Mike for any fur baby.”

Cheryl L.

“Taylor was wonderful with Homer. He had a blast and she took lots of pictures during his stay. She took him on hikes and he had his own little vacation while we were out of town. Highly recommend”

Katiana S.

“Dana was amazing! She was able to watch my dog Otis for an overnight, last minute. She was incredibly kind and treated Otis like one of her own! I highly recommend and will be using her again!”

Will F.

“Meredith was fantastic! She accommodated us with only a days notice so that we could enjoy our anniversary dinner while traveling and have our pup cared for in the comfort of AC! She was kind, frequently communicated, was punctual, and even shared photos and updates with us to help us feel at ease about leaving our little guy. Would definitely trust Meredith with our dog in the future, should we find ourselves back in Jackson and in need of a sitter!”

Ashley A.

“I am so happy with our experience with Gabriela. We were in town for a few days and wanted to hike some trails where dogs aren’t allowed. We boarded our dog Libby with Gabriela for a few days and it seemed to go great! Libby loved Gabriela and her dog. Our Libby is very energetic and requires oral medications — Gabriela seemed great with this. She also was an excellent communicator both leading up to and during the booking. I highly recommend Gabriella — I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

Maria B.

“Tracey is a wonderful person to watch your fur baby. Our dog, Brooke had the best time at her place. She loved playing with her dog and going for walks. I would highly recommend using Tracey!”

Erin B.

“Our dog was lucky enough to stay with Lauren recently while we were visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Lauren and her family seemed to adore my dog and treated her like another member of the family, even letting her sleep in their bed! Lauren responded promptly to my inquiries for how she was doing, and even though I had poor cell signal in the national parks, I felt confident that my dog was in great hands! Lauren is gentle and easy-going and my dog was immediately at ease. I would use her again if we are ever in the area!”

Sarah M.

“Liza and Zizi took our dog, Olive, for 6 days while we were out of town. Olive tells me she had a fabulous time, and the pictures suggest the same!”

Steven C.

“Eric was amazing - accommodated our puppy and elderly dog at the last minute. Eric has a great outdoor open space for dogs to run and play and work. Our elderly dog ate all her meals but is usually very anxious when she has sitters and doesn’t eat. Both dogs ate and slept well at Eric’s home. We were so grateful to find Eric, his flexibility, videos and updates he sent us during their stay, Eric’s quick responses, and grateful for his knowledge and his way with our dogs.”

Liz T.

“Joe was fantastic! He took great care of my golden retriever, Tucker, and was able to accept my request on short notice. He was perfectly communicative and sent several updates, which I really appreciated. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

George S.

“Logan was very quick in getting back to me when I was looking for someone to help take care of my pet. She also kept me up to date on any logistics and how my pet was doing.”

Sue W.

“This was our first time leaving our dog with a rover sitter and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Maylee consistently sent us photos and updates which made us feel reassured he was in good hands. Would happily bring him back here again 😊”

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

“Helen was great with Mae! Great large fenced in yard and active days kept Mae busy and tired ?. Will definitely use Helen next time we’re thru town.”

Ben & Lindsey R.

“Carla made our trip worry free. This was the first time we've stayed away for several days since we rescued Chloe from Lucky's. She's only 9 months old and leaving her alone for more than 8 hours was out of the question. To the rescue was Carla and she was perfect. She brought over catnip and a fun toy to entertain her. She won her over. We now know who to call for our next trip. Thanks Carla!”

Patricia N.

“Shannon was great! Our two Shih tzus couldn’t go on our photo tour or river float, so two days Friday and Sunday Shannon came twice a day morning and afternoon and walked them, played with them, made sure they had food and water and of course treats. She also turned on our third AC since it was getting warm during the afternoon visit. She met us Thursday night to meet the girls ahead as well. Highly recommend her!!”

Jack L.

About: I'm great with animals and will take good care of your pets. I've lived in Jackson for 6 years and grew up in Idaho. I work as massage therapist, do yoga, love hiking, reading, and traveling. I'm great with all sizes and shapes of dogs and hyper dogs do not bother me. I grew up with dogs and cats in Idaho and have been pet sitting for 2 years now. I am trustworthy and can watch your animals long term if you need me to. I also babysit children and have been doing that for about 15 years now, so if you ever need me to do both I can do that. Feel free to trust me with your animals and children, I will take good care of them

“Visiting Jackson Hole and Claire was awesome. Pictures with each visit and our doodle enjoyed it to. Highly recommend Claire if you are in the area. We had tours booked and we had piece of mind knowing we had booked with Claire.”

Ellen M.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a good amount of time. I love getting outside and walking with the pups and making sure they get a through amount of excercise. On my free time I’ve house sat for old bosses and friends that have taken off for vacation making sure their pups are well taken care of and happy while their owners are away. I am currently working as a freelancer. I have a flexible schedule and like to get outside early for walks while it’s quiet. I also like to make sure that the clients pets get enough time outside and are comfortable and happy while their owner is away. Making sure that the clients pet is happy is a priority. I like to keep a keen eye on clients pets and make sure their pets are comfortable and happy. Allowing for outdoor time in the yard and also double checking to make sure that they are well hydrated while going outside to play.

“Taylor is amazing! We booked very last minute so we could bike and hike Jenny lake. Our dogs were worn out when we picked them up. Taylor was so accommodating and we felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with her! We will definitely use her again and refer her to all of our friends that visit! Thank you so much Taylor!”

Michelle B.

“Meg was awesome with Cosmo! She took him for a walk along the creek and he had a fun time playing in the backyard. Highly recommend Meg’s services and will definitely use her again when in Jackson!”

Gina R.

About: Hi, I’m Logan 👋🏼 I live in Victor and work in Jackson. I would love to get outside with your pups on either side of the pass! I live with an high energy English Setter and and outdoor activities orange cat. My family has had many dogs over the years, especially labs and Dobermans. I have experience with all shapes, sizes, and demeanors through Rover. Comfortable with walking on or off leash, and with e collars. You can trust your dog will be in great hands while you are away. I can't wait to meet your best buddy! Availability: I work 8-5 in Jackson Mon- Fri so am available for walks and drop ins in the evenings on either side of the pass. I can do house sitting and boarding (selectively) on the weekends. Watching a dog in their own space allows me to keep them as much in their typical routines as possible, even while you’re gone. Let me know what their routines are, and how comfortable you feel with me bringing them outside of the house and around other dogs.

“Maylee was awesome!! I highly recommend her!! Maylee was communicative and flexible and a pleasure to work with. But more importantly, she LOVED my buddy Lincoln and so he was in great hands while with her. I was so appreciative of the way she took care of Lincoln. We were on a long trip when he stayed with Maylee, and she gave home extra attention and love. HIGHLY recommend working with Maylee!”

Terrence H.

“Nora had the best time with Eric. She came home tired and happy and we were so grateful to have a safe place to leave her while we explored the area. Thank you again!”

Georgia C.

“This was our first experience with Rover. We wanted to do things in the Tetons where you are not allowed to have your dog. Liza and Zizi loved on our pup all day long. Sent me lots of pictures throughout the day. It gave me great comfort to know Belle was in great care throughout the day. Also Liza was very good with communication. I highly recommend this family!!!”

Carla G.

“Joe was great - accepted our request on a very short notice and was flexible with the pick up/drop off locations to make it more convenient for us. He also gave us lots of tips on skiing in Jackson Hole and on the road trip. Joe took our pup on a long winter hike with his own dogs and returned him happy and tired. Highly recommend!”

Julia I.

“We appreciated her being able to take our boys last minute. She had a great fenced yard. She communicated with us prior to and throughout the day giving us great peace of mind. She was very kind to us and our boys and was genuinely happy to meet us and help us out. We'll definitely use her again for our pet sitting needs.”

Brian F.

“Lauren was an amazing pet sitter for Snowie. We left him with her for about six hours, and she took excellent care of him the entire time. She took him on a walk, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. What impressed us most was how relaxed Snowie was. He can sometimes be anxious in new situations, but he clearly enjoyed his time with Lauren and showed no signs of stress at all. Thanks to Lauren, we were able to fully enjoy our hike in Grand Teton without worrying about him. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Lauren!”

Gunjan S.

“Mike is a dog whisperer! He kept our two very large Great Pyrenees-mix dogs for two days of day-care at his home while we were in Jackson visiting our son, and when we brought them back to him on the morning of the second day, they were ecstatic to see him and bounded into his charming home with great enthusiasm. He sent us regular updates and photos throughout each day, many proving his promise to take the pups on grand adventures around his neighborhood. But the sweetest photos were of them comfortably ensconced on his couch atop protective blankets or cuddled up to toys on the floor, exhausted after fun and excitement. We will absolutely hope that our dogs can stay with Mike the next time we visit our son. He is a treasure!”

Heidi H.

“Great dog sitter! George had a lovely restful day of doggy daycare, and Paige was so accommodating for some last minute changes! Paige did a great job letting our timid and nervous puppy settle in and adjust, he was such a happy guy when we picked him up!”

JP S.

“So accommodating to my last minute plans, amazing communication, and great person!”

Elise S.

“Okay, Rachel is AMAZING. Im from Denver, CO and drove to Jackson for a half marathon. I brought my puppy, Rowan, with me to have a fun filled memorable experience with him in Jackson but being that half marathons don't allow dogs to run the course, I needed a pet sitter that would be willing to wake up super early to allow me to drop him off. I truly didn't think anyone would be willing to accommodate that request (understandably) but Rachel was up for it! Not only that, she also dropped me off at the spot where buses were taking runners to Teton Village for the start line. Truly too kind! When I arrived back at Rachel's place to pick up Rowan, he was having so much fun playing with her neighbor's dog in the yard that he completely ignored me lol. It was hard to pull him away. Rowan had a blast and Rachel was so kind to send update pictures while I was running my race. If for whatever reason I'm crazy enough to run that race again, I would absolutely hit up Rachel again! Anyone who is looking for a super friendly and very pet friendly pet sitter should consider Rachel. I can't thank you enough for easing my anxiety on race day, Rachel lol. THANK YOU.”

Kat I.

“Liz was very sweet. It was Monty’s first time with day care so we did not know what to expect. Liz sent me pictures and updates. He did fine although he needs to get used to this. We will be back soon!”

Mohini A.

“She realized our r.v. thermostat hadn't been changed from heat to a.c. She contacted us and when she was through with her next walk, she came back and adjusted it. It was much appreciated!”

Lynn R.

About: I believe in customer service values. I do what's in the best interest of the animals by allowing them to keep their normal routine. Animals often get stressed when there are changes to their environment so I often ask around what times do they normally get; fed, treats, walks, meds. I like to bring toys that they like and not change anything about their diets. I have learned that communication is key to developing a positive relationship with clients. Im guilty of sending you many pictures of your animals while you're away. I work part time and mostly make my own schedule. I try to stay in my local area as much as possible to make myself available to your animals. I offer clients grocery deliveries, laundry, and mail pickup for small fees. I do not charge for house sitting duties like watering plants, taking trash down, or safety checks. Dogs need frequent exercise for best health. I encourage the couch potatoes to get moving, I walk the hyper ones until they slow down, I'll play fetch or offer indoor interactions as needed. I wash out water bowls daily.

“Claire took such great care of my dog Ackee! Claire was super communicative and flexible. Ackee loved her time with Claire - they went on so many adventures and I felt so good having someone who I could trust look after her.”

My home is set up for successful crate training and designated quiet time, ensuring your dog gets the decompression they need after a fun day. In Your Home: Respectful and Attentive If I am caring for your pet in your home, my priority is maintaining their absolute comfort and peace of mind. Keeping to Their Schedule: I strictly adhere to your established house rules, feeding times, and crating routines so your dog experiences zero disruption while you are away. Home Security & Cleanliness: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My flexible schedule allows me to make regular check-ins to ensure your pet is never left lonely or waiting for a potty break. No matter the setting, my goal is to build a foundation of trust with both you and your pup, ensuring they are safe, happy, and treated like family.

“Helen was great with Mae! Great large fenced in yard and active days kept Mae busy and tired ?. Will definitely use Helen next time we’re thru town.”
