“This was the first time that we had left Wilda for overnight. Lindsay and Leland made us feel comfortable and confident that managing an energetic 10 month old puppy was no problem. We are so happy that we have found such great caregivers for Wilda!”
“Ashley and Robbie are THE BEST!!! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Trina was in their care. Daily updates, photos and even videos of her stay reinforced what a great time she was having. Knowing Trina was on her own vacation at their home was awesome. Great care and happy dog when we arrived home. We will book with them next time for sure!”
“I was absolutely delighted by the care that my dog, Loki, received during his time staying with Leaha at her home. It was very obvious that Loki was treated as a member of her family. While I was on vacation, Leaha sent me text messages and pictures of Loki looking happy and healthy. I had previously used boarding kennels for my dogs when I had to travel. Now that I have met Leaha, I hope to never have to use a kennel again! Thank you Leaha. You helped to make my vacation more enjoyable knowing that Loki was well cared for.”
“Kelly & her family were so good with our dog Sherman. He is a basset hound and pretty needy and whiny and we appreciate that Kelly went above and beyond to keep him happy 😊 he was well taken care of and she sent daily pictures to let us know how he was doing. Will book again!”
“Jennifer and Travis took awesome care of our girls while we were on vacation. They took lots of pictures for us to see and you can tell they care. We brought the girls beds and they got to sleep in there bedroom with there other 2 dogs. I would definitely recommend them for your dog care.”
“Wendy and Jacob were wonderful to work with! We had to leave our dog, Maple, with them for a week, shortly after a long move to the area. Before and upon returning they kept us updated with how Maple was handling the transition with texts and photos. Our dog loved her stay with them and was happy, healthy and her anxiety seemed way less then when we left her! We will definitely use Wendy and Jacob again for future stays!”
“We are exceptionally grateful to Laura for the love and care she provided for our older guy. This was our first trip leaving him with someone outside of our family and for a week; there was anxiety to say the least. Laura provided morning and evening updates, sending pictures of our guy enjoying his vacation too! She continued to give walks morning and night even when it the weather turned chilly! I would recommend Laura to all my friends and encourage you to reach out to her. She is now a part of our family and we will be using her in the future seeking all her love and care. Thank you, Laura!”
“Kara was excellent with our Golden Retriever, puppy. We were so lucky to have her take care of him. You could tell she truly cared about animals. She had a perfect place for our dog to stay with a great fenced in backyard. If we are in the area again we will contact Kara!”
“Nicholas was absolutely amazing with our pup while we were out of town. We got plenty of pictures/videos/updates and for once did not feel stressed about leaving town without our dog. Our dog is a little more anxious than most, but settled in wonderfully with Nicholas. If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would!”
“Fred and Isabelle were absolutely amazing! It was Jasper’s first time boarding and they were great at making him feel at home and giving updates to reassure us he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you for taking such awesome care of Jasper!”
“Shaunett is simply awesome! I would happily leave my girl in her care anytime. She goes above and beyond any expectation i’ve had for a great dog sitter. I think our dog Roxy had more fun on vacation the we did!”
“Jessica is awesome. Our girl is now home again, and she was on her vacation. We can highly recommend Jessica. It was also very reassuring for us that we received information and photos every day. Happy life for our happy dog. The next appointment will also be booked shortly.”
“Heidi was wonderful! One of our dogs is nervous about everything, and as usual, she was not eating. Heidi whipped up something delicious and got our old girl to eat! I received daily updates from Heidi, and she sent lots of pictures and videos. it helped us miss our dogs a little less!”
“They accepted my booking on short notice and were very responsive when I had questions. Crystal sent photos and updates. I would definitely have them watch our dog again.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet professional with 11 years of experience in veterinary medicine, certification in dog training, and active board member to a local animal shelter. So caring for animals is truly my passion and profession. My background allows me to provide a level of attention, safety, and knowledge that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies who are still learning the basics, senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care, and pets who require medications or special routines. I’m also happy to reinforce training, structure, and good manners during my visits so your dog stays consistent with what they’re learning at home. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines so pets feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. Because of my veterinary background, I’m also experienced in monitoring for health concerns and administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, training reinforcement, or calm companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to give owners peace of mind through communication, reliability, and professional-level care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐾 With my current schedule, I wake up early to make sure every dog’s needs are met—whether that’s potty breaks, medication administration, or starting the day on a calm routine. After I return home from work, I spend plenty of time with the dogs for play, exercise, enrichment activities, and their regular feeding routine. My home environment is structured, calm, and designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. With my background in veterinary medicine and dog training, I focus on maintaining clear routines and a low-stress environment so dogs settle in quickly and feel secure. Dogs staying with me follow a consistent daily routine that includes potty breaks, enrichment, rest time, and play. Structure helps dogs relax and prevents overstimulation, which is especially important for puppies, high-energy dogs, or dogs who thrive on predictability. I have a large backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time for exercise, play, and mental stimulation. Playtime is always monitored to ensure dogs stay safe and comfortable. For safety and proper rest, I also have Impact Kennels available for structured downtime. Crate time is used as a positive, calm space for dogs to decompress, eat meals, or sleep—similar to the routines many trainers and veterinary professionals recommend. For dogs that enjoy extra activity, I also offer optional hikes and adventure walks, providing additional exercise and enrichment depending on the dog’s energy level and owner preferences. Every dog is different, so I tailor care to their personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Carolyn is our go-to for pet sitting. Our dog, Zoe, has stayed with Carolyn multiple times and gets so excited to see her. Carolyn is kind and caring, and treats our girl like her own. She is very responsive and we appreciate the updates we receive during Zoe’s stay. We’re so happy to have found Carolyn and can’t thank her enough for taking care of Zoe!”
About: Hello! We are looking to help people out in our free time with pet care. Please let us know a few times you are available for a meet and greet before hand to ensure it is a good fit! We have two cats and one dog; and between the two of us have many years of experience with cats, puppies and senior dogs. We will be on time, provide lots of photos while you are away, and be certain to follow your instructions exactly as written. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! Between the two of us, we are very flexible. Our only routine is walking our dog in the morning and evening, and feeding our animals twice per day. We have a fenced backyard, and let our pets go out when they want, but mostly they stay inside. We take our dog on two walks daily. We will follow whatever direction you have. Because of our cats, we can only accept small dogs into our home for boarding, but can go to your home as needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 25 years. At one point I ran a certified rescue where I fostered and trained shelter dogs. I understand and love dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities. I work from home and have flexibility with my schedule. I’m able to provide all kinds of care on any schedule including walks, playing in my yard or trips to dog parks or trails if that’s what you would like for your pup. I have a good sized split level home and a well fenced secure big backyard. There’s a dog door for outdoor porch and backyard access. Your pups will never be left unattended. Dogs are welcome everywhere in my home including beds and couches.

“I am a repeat customer, & will continue to book Joshua for future drop-ins for my kitties. Communication is fantastic, always on time, & responds in a timely manner. Thank you for taking care of my cats. 🫶”
“Lisa did a wonderful job taking care of our menagerie—sheep, chickens and outdoor cats. She even made friends with the cats, who are very shy. I think they are missing her! We appreciated Lisa’s updates and photos, too. It felt great to know that everything was in good hands.”
“She was absolutely amazing, she followed written instructions to the t. It was nice to get the daily pictures I downloaded them and made a photo album because my cats never pose for me like they did for her. I don't know what she did. They were actually looking for her the first day I was home. I highly recommend Madisyn and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Mellany did a fantastic job taking care of our “spoiled” cat, Nin. She was extremely conscientious regarding her feeding and schedule. Mellany exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her based on our experience. We would not hesitate requesting her services in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was 10. I have experience with puppy training and adult dog training. I’d love to help you have a stress free experience and take care of your fur babies! My schedule is very flexible! I’m currently a full time college student, so I will have plenty of time to help you out and give your fur babies all the loves! With my prior experience I understand the importance of set rules especially when it comes to training. I know that our fur babies mean everything to us. With me, your pets will be safe and well taken care of!
“Sarah by far was the best kitty sitter we have ever had. Not only did she give us daily updates on our senior kitty, she gave him lots of love and attention. Knowing she was with every step of the way let us really enjoy our vacation without stress. We would definitely hire Sarah again and have already booked her for March 2025. Thank you Sarah!❤️”
“Thanks Monica, you are awesome! Very thorough, communicative and goes above and beyond! She is very caring of Marvin, and gets it!!! I was very confident in her care! ❤️”
“Christy gave me peace of mind, she was so reliable, competent, and caring with my cat. He required special medication and handling due to his illness, and she took care of him beautifully. She took the time to give him love and attention also. Sent me pictures every day. I will happily use her again.”
“If you need a cat sitter Dena is the person you're looking for. She came to my home before my leaving date to meet me, get instructions & make sure she & the cat where compatible. She & my cat instantly liked each other very much so I knew he was in good hands during my time away. Dena was reliable, followed instructions, friendly & professional. She went out if her way to make sure that my cat received not only care but also the companionship he craved. She sent pictures & a video of the cat that let me know he was very happy to have her there. I'm grateful & very appreciative of Dena & her services. I will definitely be booking with her for my next time away.”
“Brianna has been absolutely excellent for us. She is extremely professional, always on time, great with communication, and most importantly our kitties established a routine with her and even our shy cat has built a great relationship with her. Brianna is our go-to when we are out of town. I hope we can keep her around forever!”
“Kelly & Tyler did a very good job taking care of my cats. My cats don't get along so, Kelly watched one of my cats in her house. Came to my house everyday to take care of the other. All went well. Highly recommended.”
About: What sets me apart is the calm, patient energy I bring specifically for cats — and the real-life experience I have caring for my own. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after them. I know the little things matter: keeping routines consistent, monitoring eating and litter habits, and respecting their unique personalities. I’m experienced with kittens (litter training support, play enrichment, routine building) and senior cats (medication, mobility awareness, gentle handling). I understand that some cats are affectionate and social, while others need space and a slow approach — and I always move at their pace. Caring for my own cat has made me attentive to subtle behavior changes and the small details that keep them happy and stress-free. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and to give you peace of mind with regular updates and photos.

About: Ever since I was young, I was trusted to take care of my dogs as well as others. I enjoy meeting all different kinds, shapes, and personalities.

“This was an incredible introduction to Rover! My puppy (and kids) didn’t want to leave Leland and Lindsey’s house. What a beautiful family who were so sweet to our pup! Thanks for a great day!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, from dogs and cats to just about every creature you’d find on a ranch. That upbringing gave me a natural understanding of different personalities and needs, and a deep love for them all. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need extra attention, whether that’s administering medication, supporting a disability, or helping a shy or nervous animal feel safe. My gentle, quiet nature helps animals relax and settle in, so they can truly feel at home while you’re away. As a work-from-home freelancer, my schedule is wide open, giving me the flexibility to care for your pets whenever they need me, day or night. I have a big, fully fenced backyard, including an amazing dog run in case they need some alone time or need to be away from others. I also have an open home with plenty of room to take long naps in the sun.
“Mikey helped us out last minute & was so good to our GusGus. She sent us updates with pictures & videos throughout the day. She was wonderful & I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have hands-on experience with high-energy dogs and know how to keep them happy, exercised, and mentally engaged. I’m patient and attentive, with a gentle approach that works well for both playful pups and older dogs who need a little extra care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a veteran Marine and someone who has competitively trained dogs since 2020, I approach pet care with structure, consistency, and discipline. I make sure pets are cared for with structure, safety, and attention to detail. I follow consistent feeding schedules, provide exercise and play tailored to each pet’s needs, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. With my background in competitive dog training, I also incorporate positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to ensure pets are not only well cared for but also engaged and happy.

About: ⭐️ I offer services in the Twin Falls, Idaho area between late August and early May (fall, winter, and early spring). Then, between mid May and early August I offer services for the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho area (late spring, summer). If you have any questions about where I'm at at the moment feel free to reach out ⭐️ Hello! My name is Madi. I am a current vet tech student looking to go into small animal medicine after graduation. I have three years of experience in veterinary medicine, with two of those years also being involved in a 4-H veterinary science project. Aside from my experience with veterinary care, I have been petsitting for the last seven years or so. I have cared for small and large breed dogs, cats, and birds. I have a soft spot for dogs as I have six years of prior experience in the 4-H dog project and some occasional AKC competitions. I've taken a break to focus on school; however, I've missed the petsitting aspect of my life. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets :) I am currently in vet tech school full-time; however, I am hoping to incorporate petcare back into my schedule. I have taken a short break from petcare to focus on school, but I've found that I miss it! In the past, I was able to incorporate petcare into my schedule effectively for both drop in visits and dogwalking. I can provide petcare on most weekdays (depending on the current schooling load) and on weekends. Feel free to message me with any scheduling questions! While I am not currently offering client petcare at my home, I feel very strongly that I can provide a safe environment for your pets in their homes and while walking. Years of experience training my reactive dog has assisted me in learning body language and how to properly avoid uncomfortable situations. While walking, I avoid greetings with other dogs as well as people. This keeps everyone safe and eliminates any possible issues that could arise. While doing drop in visits, I check the state of outdoor yards prior to letting animals out. This avoids possible escape or contact with animals or foreign materials. Additionally, I treat client pets as though they are my own and provide them with the love and care they need to be happy and healthy :)
“Christy was very reliable when we needed someone to take our two dogs for walks. Our dogs were very excited to go with her and were very happy when they returned. Christy also is very quick to respond and very easy to communicate with.”

About: I grew up caring for animals, dogs, cats, horses, fish, cows, chickens, and a goat, having pets most of my life. My background is in healthcare while in the military. I have been my father's caregiver which allowed me to help foster puppy litters to adult dogs and care for a pack of 8 dogs-4 of which are mine while caring for him. I can now enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I am interested in always learning about animal behavior and all aspects of their care. I have been my father's caregiver but sadly he passed at the age of 94 and would enjoy caring for other's fur babies giving them love and support. I have an open schedule that is veryflexible. I am blessed to have my son's help caring for our dogs, allowing me to provide in-home and overnight care if needed. The number one goal is to adapt personalized routines for your pets so they are happy and healthy.
“5 stars! She showed up several times a day while I was gone and spent a lot of time with my dog who gets nervous when I leave, and showed him a lot of love! Looks like he really enjoyed their walks and play time! Angelina even went above and beyond to hang out with him longer than scheduled and made sure he had water and food every day, and then did one last check in after I got back from vacation. Will definitely hire her again next time! Thanks Angelina!”
“Lisa was my very first Rover experience and she did not disappoint. Thank you for the great photos and the report card. It’s clear that they needed the walk and break. I will be using Lisa again without question. Thank you Lisa and Rover.”

About: Care for the whole pet, not just the schedule. I care for dogs and cats as individuals, paying attention to how they’re feeling, what they need in the moment, and how to help them feel safe and at ease while you’re away.

About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals since I was a kid. My family used to call me the dog whisperer because I was the family and friend pet sitter. I have some training experience from my own pets and those of my family. I am a firm believer that a pet is truly a part of the family and should be treated as such! I work from home and can house dogs during the day. I love taking walks in the mornings and evenings and bringing a furry friend along sounds like such a treat! Weekend hikes are also more enjoyable with company! My dog is like my child. She gets love and affection all throughout the day and as often as I can afford. I also have a large fenced in yard that my pup loves to run in all the time. I do my best to keep my pup happy and healthy. I want her to live a long and happy life.

“This was the first time that we had left Wilda for overnight. Lindsay and Leland made us feel comfortable and confident that managing an energetic 10 month old puppy was no problem. We are so happy that we have found such great caregivers for Wilda!”
“Ashley and Robbie are THE BEST!!! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Trina was in their care. Daily updates, photos and even videos of her stay reinforced what a great time she was having. Knowing Trina was on her own vacation at their home was awesome. Great care and happy dog when we arrived home. We will book with them next time for sure!”
“I was absolutely delighted by the care that my dog, Loki, received during his time staying with Leaha at her home. It was very obvious that Loki was treated as a member of her family. While I was on vacation, Leaha sent me text messages and pictures of Loki looking happy and healthy. I had previously used boarding kennels for my dogs when I had to travel. Now that I have met Leaha, I hope to never have to use a kennel again! Thank you Leaha. You helped to make my vacation more enjoyable knowing that Loki was well cared for.”
“Kelly & her family were so good with our dog Sherman. He is a basset hound and pretty needy and whiny and we appreciate that Kelly went above and beyond to keep him happy 😊 he was well taken care of and she sent daily pictures to let us know how he was doing. Will book again!”
“Jennifer and Travis took awesome care of our girls while we were on vacation. They took lots of pictures for us to see and you can tell they care. We brought the girls beds and they got to sleep in there bedroom with there other 2 dogs. I would definitely recommend them for your dog care.”
“Wendy and Jacob were wonderful to work with! We had to leave our dog, Maple, with them for a week, shortly after a long move to the area. Before and upon returning they kept us updated with how Maple was handling the transition with texts and photos. Our dog loved her stay with them and was happy, healthy and her anxiety seemed way less then when we left her! We will definitely use Wendy and Jacob again for future stays!”
“We are exceptionally grateful to Laura for the love and care she provided for our older guy. This was our first trip leaving him with someone outside of our family and for a week; there was anxiety to say the least. Laura provided morning and evening updates, sending pictures of our guy enjoying his vacation too! She continued to give walks morning and night even when it the weather turned chilly! I would recommend Laura to all my friends and encourage you to reach out to her. She is now a part of our family and we will be using her in the future seeking all her love and care. Thank you, Laura!”
“Kara was excellent with our Golden Retriever, puppy. We were so lucky to have her take care of him. You could tell she truly cared about animals. She had a perfect place for our dog to stay with a great fenced in backyard. If we are in the area again we will contact Kara!”
“Nicholas was absolutely amazing with our pup while we were out of town. We got plenty of pictures/videos/updates and for once did not feel stressed about leaving town without our dog. Our dog is a little more anxious than most, but settled in wonderfully with Nicholas. If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would!”
“Fred and Isabelle were absolutely amazing! It was Jasper’s first time boarding and they were great at making him feel at home and giving updates to reassure us he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you for taking such awesome care of Jasper!”
“Shaunett is simply awesome! I would happily leave my girl in her care anytime. She goes above and beyond any expectation i’ve had for a great dog sitter. I think our dog Roxy had more fun on vacation the we did!”
“Jessica is awesome. Our girl is now home again, and she was on her vacation. We can highly recommend Jessica. It was also very reassuring for us that we received information and photos every day. Happy life for our happy dog. The next appointment will also be booked shortly.”
“Heidi was wonderful! One of our dogs is nervous about everything, and as usual, she was not eating. Heidi whipped up something delicious and got our old girl to eat! I received daily updates from Heidi, and she sent lots of pictures and videos. it helped us miss our dogs a little less!”
“They accepted my booking on short notice and were very responsive when I had questions. Crystal sent photos and updates. I would definitely have them watch our dog again.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet professional with 11 years of experience in veterinary medicine, certification in dog training, and active board member to a local animal shelter. So caring for animals is truly my passion and profession. My background allows me to provide a level of attention, safety, and knowledge that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies who are still learning the basics, senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care, and pets who require medications or special routines. I’m also happy to reinforce training, structure, and good manners during my visits so your dog stays consistent with what they’re learning at home. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines so pets feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. Because of my veterinary background, I’m also experienced in monitoring for health concerns and administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, training reinforcement, or calm companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to give owners peace of mind through communication, reliability, and professional-level care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐾 With my current schedule, I wake up early to make sure every dog’s needs are met—whether that’s potty breaks, medication administration, or starting the day on a calm routine. After I return home from work, I spend plenty of time with the dogs for play, exercise, enrichment activities, and their regular feeding routine. My home environment is structured, calm, and designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. With my background in veterinary medicine and dog training, I focus on maintaining clear routines and a low-stress environment so dogs settle in quickly and feel secure. Dogs staying with me follow a consistent daily routine that includes potty breaks, enrichment, rest time, and play. Structure helps dogs relax and prevents overstimulation, which is especially important for puppies, high-energy dogs, or dogs who thrive on predictability. I have a large backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time for exercise, play, and mental stimulation. Playtime is always monitored to ensure dogs stay safe and comfortable. For safety and proper rest, I also have Impact Kennels available for structured downtime. Crate time is used as a positive, calm space for dogs to decompress, eat meals, or sleep—similar to the routines many trainers and veterinary professionals recommend. For dogs that enjoy extra activity, I also offer optional hikes and adventure walks, providing additional exercise and enrichment depending on the dog’s energy level and owner preferences. Every dog is different, so I tailor care to their personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 25 years. At one point I ran a certified rescue where I fostered and trained shelter dogs. I understand and love dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities. I work from home and have flexibility with my schedule. I’m able to provide all kinds of care on any schedule including walks, playing in my yard or trips to dog parks or trails if that’s what you would like for your pup. I have a good sized split level home and a well fenced secure big backyard. There’s a dog door for outdoor porch and backyard access. Your pups will never be left unattended. Dogs are welcome everywhere in my home including beds and couches.
“Danielle is fantastic! Her communication and willingness to do a meet and greet ahead of time (even though our dog's stay was only one night) meant the world to me. She sent several photos, which I really appreciated. I knew he was in good hands. Danielle has lots of experience with dogs, and did not flinch when she knew our's was a German Shorthaired Pointer. She had previous experience with the breed and that says a lot. Don't hesitate to book with her and her family. Your furry family member will be treated like one of her own.”
“Carley took really good care of Jasper. She kept in touch with us during our entire absence and sent pics and videos. He was definitely well loved and welcomed into her home. We will definitely be return visitors!”
“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”
