About: Hi! I’m Nova! I am a college student at Idaho State University home for the summer with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for ALL animals. I have roughly four years of unofficial experience caring for pets for neighbors, friends, and family, including dog walking, dog sitting, overnight care, cat care, and chicken care. I have experience caring for my own pets, including three dogs and one cat. I understand how important it is to provide pets with attention, patience, exercise, and consistent care. I enjoy spending time with animals and will meet your pet where they are. There is always time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you, their owners, are away. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule! This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet care. I am available throughout the summer until I return to school in early August. If there is time I have blocked off, I always communicate clearly and work closely with pet owners to make schedules work whenever mutually possible. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, attentive, and caring looking after your pet. Safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable are very important to me when caring for animals. I always try to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, waters / meals on schedule, and a good environment. I am also willing to provide regular updates and communication so you owners feel confident in your pet care. I primarily offer care in clients’ homes and through dog walking visits, as I have pets of my own at home and this helps simplify care for you and me! I find that many pets are also more comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they can keep their normal routines and surroundings. I always respect clients’ homes, follow instructions carefully, and make pet safety my top priority during walks, visits, and overnight stays.

“Pamela is the best! We travel all over the country and Pamela is Ackee’s favorite sitter. Pamela sends many photos and updates and I can tell Ackee has so much fun. Looking forward to seeing her again soon!”

“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.”

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.

If your dog thrives on adventure, chill time, or a little of both, I’ve got them. Let’s make their time with me feel like a mini vacation. 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. My goal is simple: keep your pup comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I genuinely love all dogs, and I want yours to feel totally at ease with me. Whether I’m popping in for a quick visit or taking them out for a walk, I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life they are my world. I have extended this love to volunteering at Mountain Humane Society in Hailey. All dogs are my babies they get lots of care and attention from me. If I’m not home with my dogs then I’m volunteering and helping with other dogs they are a big part of my life.Every dog should have a good home and loving people too care for them. They are like my kids I haven’t met a dog who doesn’t like me. Dogs are a gift and they should be treated like one. Playtime, walks, cuddles, are important factors.

During the weekdays, I work from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, but I am still able to provide early morning care before work and evening walks after my shift.

About: I have had cats all of my life! From the age of 1 all the way up to 18, and I have seen so many different types of cats and how to handle them. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will always make sure your cat is getting attention and scratches. If they have specific feeding routines too that’s fine with me. I also like to maintain a clean and healthy environment for the kitties as well! I would be so excited to work with one of your little furballs!!

About: Hello! I'm Pamela, a passionate dance instructor living in the beautiful Wood River Valley. I feel incredibly grateful to share my life with my three wonderful dogs, whom I affectionately call the “Tres Amigos”: Tate, Rudy, and Boscoe. They're over three years old, full of energy, friendly, and love to have fun, bringing so much joy to my daily life. I treat them like family, and my 5-acre ranch is a lively, welcoming space with two large, beautifully landscaped fenced yards filled with toys and love. I can host two potty-trained and friendly dogs at a time—no worries, just happy pups! Since 2017, I've gained extensive experience pet-sitting in places like California, Washington, Arizona, Wyoming, and Idaho, completing 20 five-star assignments with a company, Trusted House Sitters, as a professional sitter. Now that I spend most of my time at home, I’m excited to start a Rover business to share my love and care with even more pets in our community! I work as a dance instructor in the beautiful Wood River Valley, teaching three days a week for three hours. My husband runs a software company and works from home, and we really cherish our time at the ranch, spending our days enjoying the peace and beauty of our home. We have three lovable dogs who just adore making new friends, and they always enjoy some bones, tasty popsicles, and a variety of fun toys and playtime. We treat all dogs like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay.

“Kathryn was wonderful! This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone else and I was quite nervous since she is still a puppy learning new things. Kathryn sent pictures of her romping with Zoey and snoozing. I would definitely recommend Kathryn and appreciate her watching our puppy! Thank you.”

Maggi K.

“Amber takes great care of the dogs in her care. She pays attention to all of their individual needs and has a very kind demeanor.

About: I love to care for animals... horses, dogs, and cats have all been a part of my life. From high school through college, I worked for the local veterinarian. A balance of exercise, fun, and relaxing is what I think is a good recipe to follow, whether you are an animal or a human being! If you'll allow me, I would love to get to know your special "Side-Kick". They are truly a gem in our lives. For dog sitting, I am flexible about staying in your home, or having your pet stay at mine. Enjoy walking in the neighbor or going on hikes. Mindful of adjusting the walk durations for those dogs who may not need too much exercise. I am retired, so plenty of time together. Love thinking of outings that your dog may enjoy, depending upon age and athletic interests. Custom camp adventures! Safety first. Leashes at all times when anywhere near cars, and direction from the owner as to whether off-leash is preferred on trails. I will be so very mindful of safety.

About: Now serving Lincoln County residents as well as the Wood River Valley. Because of my love for animals, I have been the go to person to ask to care for other's animals. My experience ranges from giving pills to a St. Bernard to taking a Terrior puppy out every two hours (into the night also) to go pee. I respect animals and know that I need to take care of them as if they were my own. I have two Border Collie mixes that are sweet and high energy. You will feel at ease while your pets are with me. I thank you in advance for your consideration and hope that we will work together soon! I make it work. I love that I can be there for someone and care for their pets. I am willing to take on any pet and fit them into my life. My dogs are crate trained and that's where they sleep at night. Any visiting dogs can sleep where they like, whether it's on a bed, in a crate as well, or on the couch or floor. I make sure to keep my dogs' and others' dogs' food separate.

I have grown up my whole life around dogs and I have also done many dog sitting and housing sitting jobs throughout the years.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m here to give them the care, attention, and love they deserve. What makes me different? I take the time to really get to know each pet their quirks, their routines, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their humans. I have experience with basic puppy training (like leash walking, potty habits, and socialization), and I’m comfortable helping senior pets with mobility support, medication, or just offering a calm, caring presence. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like one of my own with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible and reliable schedule for pet care throughout the week.

Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I’m here to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and loved. I usually care for pets in their own homes, as I live in a small apartment without a yard. This helps keep pets comfortable in familiar surroundings and reduces their stress. Whether I’m at your home or assisting with other needs, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines, while providing plenty of love and attention so your pet feels secure and happy.

“Lorraine is an excellent person and dog sitter. She took such good care of Fred. He had the best time! I will definitely book Lorraine the next time I am in Sun Valley and need a dog sitter. I have referred family and friends to Lorraine.”
