“Ashley and her family provided a very loving, homelike environment for our smallish dog while we were away. She sent adorable photos and videos that showed us how happy (and tired out) our pup was. We were extremely grateful for her care and even more so when car trouble made us extend our booking. Will FOR SURE use her again.”
“Our dogs had such a wonderful time at Robin's! She sent several photos and videos and each time we could just see how happy the dogs were and how much fun they were having. I can tell she really loves dogs and I had no worries at all leaving them with her. I would absolutely use her again! Highly recommend!!”
“Lauran was awesome with Star. By the pictures she took Star seemed to fit right in to her family. Star appeared to have a good time in a safe environment. We will use Lauran again if the need arises!”
“Lorali did so good with our puppy Winnie! I swear she was better behaved when we picked her up! She sent photos and kept us updated while Winnie was with her. I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I started out walking dogs in middle school and joined dog 4-H and learned basic obedience and showing. I love caring for puppies and can potty train. My schedule is open during the week and weekends. I have two dogs who are dog friendly that keep your dogs or puppy company. I can crate dog if needed at night or short times during poor weather conditions. I like to see that high energy dogs can get up to 1-2 hours of exercise every day at my home. With exercise I like to combine brain exercise so they can be fully tuckered out.
“Allysa was so fantastic with my dog! Continuous updates & photos and patience with my little girl’s goofy behaviors. She’s very trusting and knowledgeable. Would use a hundred times over!”
“Shannia did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 dogs for 3 nights. She is always quick to respond to messages and sent us some of the most wonderful pictures of our pups each day. Our dogs were in great and hands and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Shannia again.”
“LOVE Kailey! She sent photos to me each day and gave updates. My dog also came back to us clean, happy, and very well behaved. Oftentimes, other families watching him can lead to him being rebellious when we get him back — not with Kailey! We highly recommend!”
“Erin and her spouse are the best! They cared for Pongo like he was their own little human. He didn’t want to leave. Erin took her time and made me a video of Pongo stay and adventure he had with them. Within 4 days they was able to teach him to sit, stay, lay down and shake. I would absolutely recommend them 100 percent. Only if they watched baby’s because I would leave my 10 month old son with them. 😂”
“So grateful to find you! Thank you for sending such wonderful pictures and taking great care of our pup! It was so comforting to know she was in a comfortable home getting all the snuggles she loves!”

“Krystal is the absolute best of the best! She took the greatest care of our big guys on such short notice. She sent multiple updates on our guys a day, even including pictures for us. Our pups seemed to have an immediate comfort with her which was super reassuring as we left. Krystal took such amazing care of our guys and accepted every little quirk about them (: We will absolutely be requesting repeat services from her!”
“Jaralee was so amazing, I felt completely at ease leaving our dog with her! She spoiled her and sent pictures letting us know how our pup was doing which I appreciated so much. She was also really flexible with our time coming home, as we were on an emergency family trip and weren't exactly sure of our return. We will definitely use Jaralee again if need be!!”

“Mistie B and her family are so wonderful! My husband was having surgery. Misty was there for us! She lives outside of town. So no doggie park and all the disgusting things that go with it. Her yard is fenced in. She has 2 wonderful dogs for yours to play with. Her house is well maintained. Her 2 kids are fantastic. She is so caring and loving.

“Camilla took the time to meet us and our cats before we left and took good care of our cats while we were away. She texted us a note and pictures each time she visited and spent time petting our fur babies too. I would definitely book her again.”
“OH MY GOSH!! I cannot even begin to explain how happy and grateful we are for Angelica. She went above and beyond of what we asked for and helped us feel at ease and enjoy our vacation. We have never left our pups longer than a few days but we left for a week this time, Angelica made it super easy for us not to worry about our baby’s. Frida is a very nervous and anxious girl and by the end of our trip Frida was super happy and comfortable with Angelica. Safe to say we are definitely going to be rebooking with her for any vacations or trips we have have without our pups.”
“Krystal did an amazing job taking care of my 2 senior dogs while I was away on a work trip. She was very communicative and sent pics on every visit, my dogs really enjoyed her company. It was a huge relief to know they were in good hands while I was away. I'd highly recommend her services and will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: When growing up, I grew up with at least 2 to 3 big dogs in the house, and I always enjoyed spending my days with them. Throughout college, I took care of my personal dog judge, after graduating I adopted two more, Maverick and Nala. My dogs are spoiled rotten to the point where I spoil them more than myself, you can expect your dogs to be given the same treatment maybe even a little better. Don’t tell my pups lol. Right now I currently work at gowen Field as a Blackhawk pilot, but my job gives me the flexibility to schedule around and make sure that I have the time and availability to take care of your fur babies. I’m fine waking up early in the mornings also going to bed late at night so I will always make time for them. We have a huge fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, also a shed in the backyard that can be converted into a private room for your Doggos if needed. Your dogs can expect lots of pets, walks, and playtime/socialization time!

About: Growing up on a farm and in 4-H, I learned from an early age that animals had a very special place in my heart (especially dogs). I enjoy spending quality time with my pups by taking them on easy to moderate hikes, walking/jogging them through my neighborhood, playing fetch in our fully fenced backyard, and giving lots of snuggles. In my home your dogs will be loved and taken care of as if they were one of my own. I am available for Boarding Monday-Friday with some weekend availability. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have as I am happy to help. I look forward to meeting both you and your dogs and getting out to enjoy beautiful SE Idaho with them! I am currently home full time, so I am able to give your pup lots of attention and love during their stay in our home. I have a fully fenced yard and two dogs who would love to play with your pup! If they like to play tag and enjoy wrestling then they will have a great time playing with our sausage dogs Brody and Gracie.
“Robin was amazing with my pup. Sadie is a handful and Robin took expert time with her forming a strong and trusting bond. I couldn’t have asked for more attentive care for my lab.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have loved building trusted relationships with them. I now own three beautiful male standard poodles who are a big part of our family. I‘ve worked with my dogs for 6 years to train them to be healthy, social, respectful animals! Working with dogs is something that I love to do and comes easily to me. I work part time from home so I am available 24/7 for your pup’s needs. The longest I’m gone from my home is 2-3 hours since I don’t like leaving my own dogs that long alone. Our animals are a part of our family, so we 100% allow our furry friends on our furniture and bed. We know that they’ll need lots of extra love/snuggles while you’re away. Our current potty break schedule is immediately after waking up, around noon, 3-4pm, and then right before we go down for the night. If your dog is used to a different schedule we can accommodate to their needs. We crate our dogs at night and when we are gone for an extended period of time for the safety of the animal. We have a fully fenced yard that has plenty of room for your pup to run and play! I also have three standard poodles of my own that love to play with other dogs. You can be sure there will be plenty to do for your dog at our house. My own dogs are trained, well socialized, and I enjoy continuing their training! We believe that play and consistent schedule/structure are powerful tools for dogs to feel safe, loved, and happy! We treat all of our clients as if they were our own pets.
“Shannon was very kind, sweet and professional. My kooper enjoy his time with her and other dogs. She is sooooo caring that even bedazzled his collar. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I am a certified Dog Trainer & Behavior Specialist for 15 years. I specialize in Obedience and Behavioral Training using a combination of positive reinforcement & balanced training. I offer boarding, training, and a combination of the two! We also have groomers on site that can give exit baths. I am certified in Pet First Aid, Sitting, Nutrition & Basic Grooming. I accept all ages & NO breed restrictions. I have 4 dogs of my own. I work out of my home & in my facility as a dog trainer. Sometimes I travel to my clients. I may take a dog out for Out & About time or to the facility for daycare. Most boarding dogs go to and from daycare every week day (non-reactive dogs). Caring for your fur babies is extremely important to me and I put them first in my schedule. I have 2 kids I run to school but other than that i’m with dogs. I have 3 dogs of my own, two mastiffs and one shih-poo mix. All three are well trained to assist in training and helping other dogs overcome insecurities and behaviors. I have my mellow mastiff, my playful mastiff & my old man who loves dogs. I can pick and choose who is the best playmate for your baby and build on that. My dogs have a incredible recall and leave it command so your pup knows I have everything under control & can give your baby as much or as little space needed. I make my own schedule. Sometimes I have training sessions while your baby is here & will need to be crated during that time. I transport non-reactive boarding dogs to and from daycare with me almost everyday. Dogs are placed in a pack in or out of the house depending on size. Large dogs are in our boarding suites & small dogs are in the home. Large dogs are on a rotation schedule to ensure multi-household safety. Sometimes we can run everyone in a pack and sometimes separation is needed. If you allow your dog on the couch, they are allowed on mine. If not, I will continue to enforce your rules here. I have children (8 & 12) here but are very respectful of dogs. No human food is allowed to be given to any dogs in my home.
“Ashley was wonderful with Chai! She was kind enough to take him in at the last minute and was incredibly accommodating with my uncertain drop-off and pick-up times. I really appreciated her patience and flexibility, and it was clear that Chai was well cared for and comfortable. I’d absolutely trust her to watch him again!”
“Lauren and her family took great care of our dogs! We would definitely recommend her and we even asked for her to watch them again, but unfortunately she was booked! :) thank you!”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was a child! My husband and I have a rescue German Shepherd, his name is Kiba. He is 3. We have 3 kids. I have a dog and a cat! So taking care of animals is a part of my regular routine. But I'm also a stay-at-home-mom of 3 kids. So I'm home a lot and have the time! I've worked in many people's homes in the past, not with animals, and I'm very respectful of peoples spaces. I'm there to do a job and love your animal while you're busy! The same in my home, they'll be there to be loved when you can't!
About: I grew up with dogs and I love animals. We have 3 dogs of our own and 2 cats. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m flexible and able to let dogs out as they need. Your furry friend will get lots of love and attention while in my care I’m a stay at home mom so I’m able to give potty brakes as often as needed and play with them as much as they want . I have a fenced in back yard. My house is baby proofed so it’s also pet proof. Some of our dogs sleep in bed with us and others sleep in kennels whatever they are most comfortable with.
About: I have been taking care of neighbors animals since I was about 12. I love all kinds of animals, big and small. Except spiders, I'm not sure who started with the idea to keep them as pets? But otherwise, I love connecting with any and all furry or scaley friends! I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats, a bunny and 6 ducks of my own. I work for the school district, so I have an entire summer to fill and spend plenty of time with your babies. Perfect for your summer vacation needs! I have a fully fenced, escape proof yard. I do have a small farm of my own with 3 dogs, 2 cats, a bunny and ducks. They are all friendly!
“Robyn is such a sweet person! I told her it was my first time using a dog sitter and she sent me so many pictures and video updates of Luna that I was able to relax knowing that my sweetheart was in good hands. I will DEFINITELY call Robyn if I need Luna to be dog sat again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and other animals my whole life. We’ve always have some animal around from guinea pigs to pot belly pigs, and from ferrets to horses. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart so as a kid the neighbors would call to have me go check on, feed or walk their dogs while they were away. Dogs just have a love and connection with humans that make the days better! I’m a stay at home mom so we are open to play with your fur babies anytime of they day when they aren’t napping. With two small children we don’t travel much so are availability to pet sit is open to pretty much all the time, so if you need to be away and can’t take your pup(s), let us make your babies feel comfy, safe and most of all loved at our home! We have a house with a large fenced yard. We are by the local green belt for walks and by parks too. Our house is not a busy road so the dogs won’t get caught up in all the noise, it’s a nice little retreat. We have a spayed female border collie that is two, she has done wonderful with all of the other furry playmates she has had. We also have a Guinea pig- who stay in her cage but when she is out is in her bonding pouch with her human sister. My husband loves to throw balls and ropes or really any toys to the dog when he comes home. We have a six year old daughter who loves animals and does very good with them, but she does like to give them lots of love. We also have a 9 month old son who loves petting the dog and the pig at this point and get so excited when he sees the dog (we refer to her as his sister) wonder around the house. The neighbors on each side of us have dogs, but like I said our yard is fence however they can see and run the fence together. Your babies would have plenty of space to walk, run, lay and they would have oodles of humans to love on them while your away.

“Camilla has been walking my dog Zillie since August and it has done wonders...when I first contacted Rover, I thought I might have to give my dog up because her behavior was out of control...finding a way to release some of her excess energy was my last resort and I am SO grateful that regular walks is helping (I'm disabled and unable to walk Zillie myself). Zillie now anticipates her walks and excitedly greets Camilla when she arrives. I am so glad I found Rover and believe that Camilla has helped improve Zillie's behavior ...I am so glad to say that Zillie has found her furever home...I can't recommend Rover OR Camilla too much...!!! Thank You...❤🐕❤🐕”

I dont have a fenced yard but I always make sure to keep them on a leash. I also have 2 fun loving dogs that will be able to keep your dogs company. There is also a park nearby that would be a great place for them to go on walks and play. Safety is my number 1, I dont want anything to happen to them.
About: (Yes, I am available for the 4th of July week/weekend, so theres no need to have your fur kids alone and scared while you're away!!) I have cared for animals of all kinds since I was little. I have experience with a large range of creatures, from hamsters to horses you name it. I have medical experience handling IV's and Other injection medications. I am CPR trained, and have been CPR certifed, however, certification is not up to date for this year yet. I have nursed two small infant puppies back to health from Parvo through injection Iv's, Handled Ear infections due to Yeast & Earmites, on too many occasions I've cured stray Cats & kittens of worms, as well as many other positive outcomes for Unhealthy Furkids that were lucky to have found my care...Hence why Im very cautious when it comes to any possible exposure to bacteria & possible illness. Over the years i have had many different senerios and challenges arise that I have handled with ease. I have an amazing reputation for animal training, altho ive never been Trainer certified. From Seniors to newborns I always have any animals best interest at heart, they deserve a life better then we can give but I will continue striving to deliver!! I am currently unemployed since recovering from Carpal and Cubital tunnel surgery. So im free all day & week to Check In/Hangout/& Hike with your furry friends!! I personally feel as tho they deserve Treat & Potty breaks all the time, so let me be there for them when you can't. :)♡ I spend all outdoor time monitoring & playing with your fur kids, for both saftey and to keep your kiddos mind active. Constantly engageing through interactions, helps to keep your kids distracted of your absence!! I have two friendly fur kiddo's myself (With Separation Anxiety) that love to help keep your fur babies company. We enjoy bringing activity boards, stimulating toys, and treat puzzles, for your fur kids to engage and activate their smart thinking mind's. It's important to me that we make sure throughout the day we are drinking plenty of water (Especially when out in the Sun) and that I'm listening to ALL of my furry friends needs!!

She communicated well and Annie loved her! And she loved Annie 🙂 Five star service, highly recommend her for all your dog care needs.”
About: Animals are my passion making them happy wanted and comfortable is my goal while away from home and give there owners peace of mind knowing there in good hands. I volunteer at local animal shelter but I don't do it all day so I can still make time to spend with your furry pet friend I prefer to take care of the pets in there on home so they feel more at ease in a familiar environment but parks are always an option too.
About: I've grown up around two cats (short hair male and long hair female), birds (parakeets), and leopard geckos (one male one female). I have dogsat a variety of sizes (including a female husky) and did some dog walking a few years ago (a pit bull female) I currently work less than full time and go to college less than full time so I have a fairly open and flexible schedule, to make it slightly easier with planning I work I would be available everyday besides Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am flexible in availability and can follow any special instructions you may have about your pets specific needs, even weird quirky routines they may have! I am very adaptable and more than willing to stay with you pets or animals at your home or just drop in and check on them when needed!

About: I am an animal lover! If I could have 20+ animals I would!🥰 I have taken care of my parents dogs, my own dogs, & friends dogs & cats. I have taken care of puppies, kittens. and older dogs. I currently am working but, I have plenty of spare time after work and during lunch, and I’d love to spend that time with your fur babies. :) I usually care for pets as the owners want me to, feed at the certain times, walks, play time, etc. Love giving treats and cuddles. Treating them like my own.
About: I was taking care of my own dog in 8th grade. I’ve walked many different breeds and ages. I have experience with easy and hard dogs to walk. I am not a certified dog trainer but I have trained all of my dogs myself. Including my service dog in training. She is completely owner trained. I am able to read dog body language pretty well to know when a dog is uncomfortable with a situation. I treat every dog like my own. I currently have a part time job as a caregiver. I do plan to start this full time once I have the clientele. I will have an easy way of adjusting and having a full schedule. I am able to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon(before work) and at night. I can do drop in visits almost any time of the day. I don't offer daycare but in a client's home, I would go along with what the client has asked. I would make sure the dog is safe. I keep a structure or routine for the dog so that they aren't stressed out. On walks, I carry treats with me to be able to work a dog through a scary situation if needed.
About: I have always had dogs in my home growing up. I also provide bathing and nail trims to dogs of every size. I am able to help train on basic obedience or other "tricks" as needed. I have patience to deal with excited puppies and work with them as well. As a stay at home mom with one child, I'll have plenty of time in my day to take the time to play with your dog(s) and am available just about every day of the week! Alongside my own set of rules, I like to abide by what the pet parent says, since that is what the animal is most comfortable with. When taking dogs for walks, I don't like to use flexi-leashes. I find those unsafe as the mechanism can fail and I think most dogs don't need that much leash freedom at will.
About: i’ve worked with 17 different species, everything from house pets, exotics, small mammals, reptiles, farm animals, fish and invertebrates. i’m a vet tech so i’m comfortable giving meds if that’s something you need. i work part time, so i have a lot of time to be there with your babies! i work with animals at my job and would love to help ya out! my personal dog is reactive so for your pets safety o can’t provide pet care from my home. i am perfectly comfortable coming to your home to care for your pets!

“Ashley and her family provided a very loving, homelike environment for our smallish dog while we were away. She sent adorable photos and videos that showed us how happy (and tired out) our pup was. We were extremely grateful for her care and even more so when car trouble made us extend our booking. Will FOR SURE use her again.”
“Our dogs had such a wonderful time at Robin's! She sent several photos and videos and each time we could just see how happy the dogs were and how much fun they were having. I can tell she really loves dogs and I had no worries at all leaving them with her. I would absolutely use her again! Highly recommend!!”
“Lauran was awesome with Star. By the pictures she took Star seemed to fit right in to her family. Star appeared to have a good time in a safe environment. We will use Lauran again if the need arises!”
“Lorali did so good with our puppy Winnie! I swear she was better behaved when we picked her up! She sent photos and kept us updated while Winnie was with her. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Allysa was so fantastic with my dog! Continuous updates & photos and patience with my little girl’s goofy behaviors. She’s very trusting and knowledgeable. Would use a hundred times over!”
“Shannia did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 dogs for 3 nights. She is always quick to respond to messages and sent us some of the most wonderful pictures of our pups each day. Our dogs were in great and hands and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Shannia again.”
“LOVE Kailey! She sent photos to me each day and gave updates. My dog also came back to us clean, happy, and very well behaved. Oftentimes, other families watching him can lead to him being rebellious when we get him back — not with Kailey! We highly recommend!”
“Erin and her spouse are the best! They cared for Pongo like he was their own little human. He didn’t want to leave. Erin took her time and made me a video of Pongo stay and adventure he had with them. Within 4 days they was able to teach him to sit, stay, lay down and shake. I would absolutely recommend them 100 percent. Only if they watched baby’s because I would leave my 10 month old son with them. 😂”
“So grateful to find you! Thank you for sending such wonderful pictures and taking great care of our pup! It was so comforting to know she was in a comfortable home getting all the snuggles she loves!”
“Jaralee was so amazing, I felt completely at ease leaving our dog with her! She spoiled her and sent pictures letting us know how our pup was doing which I appreciated so much. She was also really flexible with our time coming home, as we were on an emergency family trip and weren't exactly sure of our return. We will definitely use Jaralee again if need be!!”

For doggy day cares, I am available from 6 am to 6 pm. Your dog must be leash trained and house trained. I am temporarily home full-time, until I find a job. I have grown up taking care of many different types of dogs that were all sorts of ages - from new born puppies to dogs that are 13 or older. I love all dogs. I have a dog that is very friendly and likes all dogs. She loves to run and play with other dogs that are close to her size. There will be toys in my home for them to play with. There will be provided food. I am only working part time. I do have another another job so I am only available Sunday Tuesday Wednesday and Saturday for walks, and drop ins I live at the end of a quiet road. I don’t have a fully fenced yard but it’s mostly fenced you cannot see the road from my front porch. I have two mini ponies in their own pasture.
“Mistie B and her family are so wonderful! My husband was having surgery. Misty was there for us! She lives outside of town. So no doggie park and all the disgusting things that go with it. Her yard is fenced in. She has 2 wonderful dogs for yours to play with. Her house is well maintained. Her 2 kids are fantastic. She is so caring and loving. Worked with my Standard poodle the whole time. We will be using Mistie B again in a month. I have used Rover before, as a trucker. All across the USA. This caregiver is by far the best across the US!!!”
“Rachel was great! She sent lots of photos and was good with communication. My dog was so happy when I picked him up. He was very well taken care of. She had great accomodations! Would highly recommend!”
“Robyn went above and beyond in every way. We were traveling around 14 hours away for a full week. We have two dogs one being very difficult needing to be let out every two hours and high anxiety. While we were away at no fault to Robyn he refused to eat or drink leading him to become very ill. Robyn kept a close eye on him and when she became concerned with how he was doing she took him to the Doggie ER and ended up saving his life. Her communication was perfect, sent photos, texts, and called when needed. It was an extremely stressful time to be away from a hurting pup and Robyn was communicating every step of the way. We will be using Robyn again in the future and I can not recommend her enough.”
