“Courtney (and her family) did such a wonderful job watching our dogs while my husband and I were away on vacation. She sent photographs of the dogs every night and gave an update on their day. She was very attentive to their needs. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be coming back to her for future sitting jobs ?”
“She was so great with him. We explained that we’re students and she was so kind and willing to work with our budget which we really appreciated!! She sent us a few updates and said everything went well and Chewy was doing great! Some people may want more frequent updates, but personally we appreciated that she wasn’t sending us a million pictures every day lol. It was the right amount of updates to know he was ok while still enjoying our vacation when we couldn’t be on our phones all that much. Also, she even offered to pick him up and drop him off which made things so much easier for us with all the packing and crazy travel. Definitely recommend her and hope to book with her again the next time we go out of town!”
“Second time watching our sweet senior gal doodlebug and Melissa was amazing! She was very communicative and supportive as this was the longest my wife and I have been away from our pup. Will definitely be using her for our boarding needs!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m the proud owner of a 3-year-old high-energy Aussiedoodle named Arlo, so I’m very comfortable meeting the needs of active, intelligent dogs who thrive on routine, exercise, and attention. We spend our weekends hiking and exploring the outdoors, which has given me a strong appreciation for physical and mental enrichment for pets. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I strive to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care so both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether it’s keeping up with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. On weekdays, I work from 8–5 but live close enough to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feeding check-ins, and some one-on-one time. Pets are never left alone all day and get consistent care throughout the day. Mornings and evenings include walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime at home. On weekends, my schedule is very flexible, which allows for longer walks, outdoor adventures, and extra attention. I’m especially comfortable caring for high-energy dogs and making sure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. I care for pets in my home just like I do my own dog — with lots of attention, routine, and love. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, and any special instructions, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and downtime. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, including high-energy dogs. I work 8–5 on weekdays but come home at lunch for walks and check-ins, so pets aren’t left alone all day. On weekends, we enjoy longer walks, outdoor time, and a relaxed pace. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home while keeping owners updated and worry-free.
“Amany was amazing! She was so flexible, as she agreed to a last minute booking with my pup. She also responded quickly and answered all my questions. My pup was so spoiled during the stay. He went shopping and was definitely part of the family during the stay. He was so tired from all the play time and extra attention, he fell asleep in the car on the way home. I will definitely use Amany again!”
“Stephanie is great with both of my little Pomeranians! Her and her family love on the dogs and they love going to her! She’s always responsive and sends me videos and pictures! I’ve come to depend on her anytime I need to go out of town without the dogs! I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.
“Super happy with how our pup was treated! Wendy (Alice) did a fantastic job taking care of Minima, taking her for walks, and keeping in contact while we were away. She knows what she is doing!”
“wonderful host! we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs at Mikayla’s house! we will definitely use her as a rover sitter for any of our dogs in the future. our dog was very comfortable and came home happy as usual<3”
“Hannah was amazing! She took great care of our boy Cyrus. She was very good at communicating and sending pictures when we asked for updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our baby with her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Lily is AMAZING, I cannot praise her enough!! She is attentive, asked plenty of questions, and really did an amazing job caring for Penny. I was worried due recent health issues, but Lily never skipped a beat. I am so thankful to have found her, and can’t wait until the next stay!”
About: Hi, I’m Brian! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats around the house, and it’s a tradition I’ve proudly continued into adulthood. Sadly, both of my beloved pugs passed away over the last few years. Right now, it's just me and my cat, Vader, so I would absolutely love to welcome a canine (or another feline) presence back into my home! I work at WSU and live a quiet, peaceful life here in Colfax. Because my home is a kid-free environment and I spend a lot of my time here, your pet will get plenty of focused attention, companionship, and love. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets, so I am committed to treating yours like family - providing a safe, comfortable, and fun home away from home. I’d love to chat and see if I’m the perfect fit for your pet! I work at WSU so it's a short commute each day, allowing me to spend more time at home. My weekday evenings are pretty quiet. I sometimes go out on the weekends but would be quite happy staying home if there is pet-sitting to do. I have a large fenced yard. I have a large linoleum dining and kitchen area that can easily be blocked off where messes are easy to clean up. I'm totally fine sharing my bed and furniture with a pet. It's a quiet, kid-free house well suited for even the most nervous dogs.
“Shoshana was so kind to my dog and was very reliable. Her warmth and love of animals was very apparent from our first meeting. I was able to go away with complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was being so well cared for.”
About: I have been growing up around dogs my whole life. As a child and into my teen years, I did the Dog project in 4-H for five years and helped lead the group. I have experience handling and training dogs for obedience and show environments, and I am comfortable with all pets! I have been house-sitting in the summers for many different dog-owners, so I am knowledgeable and experienced in providing care for these animals. My parents' dog (aka "my" dog) is a German Shorthaired Pointer and his name is Murphy. I spend a lot of time with him, and I have a special spot in my heart for all animals. I also spent a couple years co-parenting a little calico cat named Stitch with my best friend. I do also have some experience with reptiles, as I currently have one bearded dragon and one Pac-Man frog in my care. I am unable to have a dog or cat of my own at this stage in my life, due to money and living restraints, but I am thankful when I can spend time with others’ animals in this way. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend and give them lots of love! I am currently a Graduate Admissions Specialist / DSO at the University of Idaho! This means that I do work full-time (8-5 with a 1-hour lunch break) on campus on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I work full-time from home on Thursdays. I do not work weekends and am usually very available if I have not marked it off on my Rover calendar. If your animal is okay/used to being alone for the work day, or can be alone for 4-5 hours at a time, I am the fit for you during the week. I can provide drop-in visits before and after work, and on my lunch break, or I am happy to stay in your home, where I will care for your pet before and after my work day, and during my lunch break if that is most comfortable! UPDATE: I have moved to Lewiston, ID as of 7/31/2026. I still commute to work in Moscow, ID for the time being, but will be available in the mornings before work and evenings after. I am currently looking for a full-time remote job or position located in Lewiston. I will update this section once my employment situation changes! If your pet requires more frequent attention, I might be your gal for a weekend trip! On the weekends, I do not work and have lots of time to hang around with your pet(s)! :) At the moment I am not able to be boarding at my own address, and I am open to house-sitting after I have established a positive face-to-face relationship with each client. I will adhere to any and all established rules and routines for animals in their home to provide the most comfortable and safe experience that is possible.
About: I have taken care of all animals from household pets, wildlife to farm animals for 30 years now. I have vet education and am cpr certified. I am currently a stay at home mom of two boys. I have open availability and the time and attention to watch your furbaby. Boarding is only on weekends due to husband working early during the week. I have a fenced back yard and a very enthusiastic fun furbaby of my own who will be a great companion to your pupper he is two and loves cats and dogs small to huge. I also have a cat who is his best friend and loves to help me look after any pet in need she is always offering to be a surrogate mother to any pet or human in need lol she's so sweet.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, and even farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I believe they deserve care that's tailored specifically to them. I'm comfortable caring for puppies who need patience, consistency, and lots of play, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler pace, extra attention, and sticking to familiar routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I'm attentive to detail, reliable, and committed to following your pet's routine exactly as instructed (including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care needs). My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving you complete peace of mind through dependable communication and thoughtful care. Beginning in late August through mid-December 2026, I'll be student teaching during the weekdays. During that time, I'm available for morning visits before school, afternoon and evening walks or drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. My schedule is consistent and allows me to plan ahead, so I can provide dependable, reliable care around my teaching responsibilities. Before and after student teaching, I’ll work as a substitute and be much more available. I have a fenced yard and one personal dog. I am able to separate the dogs and provide your dog quality attention as often as desired.

“Hera is great! When I was away for a business trip, Hera took great care of my two 3.5-month kittens!

About: I have had countless house/petsitting duties since i was 12 years old. Friends, neighbors, family, and mutuals have all used me for reliable, quality animal care. Along with my personal gigs, I also have 4 years of experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility, including running it while my boss is out of town. In my experience, I’ve taken care of young, old, scaled, feathered, tiny, huge…I’m confident I’ll be a fantastic caretaker for your furry companion(s).

“Best sitter for my two cats! Kaelyn did a great job communicating, keeping us updated, was very kind, and while we had a bit of a process for her regarding our cats, she did a great job following directions and taking care of everything. Would love to hire her again :)”
About: Since I was young, I've participated in 4-H. During that time, I learned how to care for many animals such as sheep, horses, chickens, cats, and dogs. Since I've raised livestock, I have experience administering medications when needed including pills, shots, and some bandage wrapping. I have pet sat for many years, during which I cared for a variety of species including, livestock (of all kinds), horses, poultry, dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and guinea pigs. I'm a full-time college student at University of Idaho. During the school year, I can see your pets in the mornings and afternoons/evenings. Pet care is a priority for me; we can make a schedule that works for your pets and for me. During weekends, I can do more visits and walks throughout the day. Need something more during the week? Feel free to reach out and see if I can make something work between classes! To care for your pets in their home I familiarize myself with the space as quickly as possible in order to ensure a smooth transition after you leave. Once you're gone, I spend time with your pets to keep them happy and entertained. I review all provided instructions to ensure the best possible care for your animals, including any timing for food and medications. I'm happy to adjust my care style to fit individual pets as needed.
“Chelsea was incredible. Due to a medical emergency, we needed a long term sitter at short notice. Chelsea stepped up to the plate, came to the house to collect my two cats and took great care of them for a full six weeks. She stayed in touch with pictures and updates. We are so grateful for her help and support!”
“Tanna was over the top great. She kept me posted on how things were, sent me photos. My cat who is a barfer, did not barf once. Apparently she has a magic touch. He seemed like he gained weight, which he needs. My house was pristine when I got home. Reliable and gets animals!”

“Or boy always has fun with Brandi! He whines at the door to see her, and comes home happy. Thankful for the flexible pickup when our plans when longer than expected.”
About: I have been pet sitting for most of my life as well as caring for my own animals at home. I have worked at, volunteered at, and fostered for dog and cat shelters as well as many other animals, and have volunteered and worked at a veterinary teaching hospital. You will not find someone more passionate or empathetic about animals of any and all shapes and sizes. When people weren’t there for me, my animals were, and I have vowed to be there just the same for them. I am a strong creature of habit, and love a good structured routine to my day. Feeding all of my animals is a heavy part of that, and the best part. I start and finish my days making sure everyone is fed, loved, and happy, and if they are then it is a good day. Being able to take a lunch break to visit more animals is an added bonus that I will look forward to all day. I always make sure to specialize care to the animals themselves, and mimic how their own parents care for them. If an animal needs more frequent visits, longer visits, extra play time, medications, specialized meal plans or supervised meals I will always accommodate to the best of my ability. I will never leave an animal until they are satisfied with my service.
About: My experience with dogs has ranged from personal ownership: (raised with two mixed breeds, and owned a WHIPPET for fourteen years), to boarding dogs, to working at a doggie daycare, and working for a dog walking company. Currently I am a stay at home mom to three kids- so I am home most of the time, including weekends. If I do step out, for errands, appointments, and such, I will absolutely make sure your pet has had enough walks/potty breaks. We have a fenced yard, and a great neighborhood for walking. My family, and I will work consistently to make sure your pooch feels comfortable, and loved. That said, for safety reasons I choose not to share photos of my kids on my profile page- regardless, they are great with dogs! My time is flexible in that I can work around my families schedule to provide boarding for your pet(s). We look forward to meeting you/them! I can provide care for your dog(s), by following the schedule you have set for them. I love walking, and playing fetch with dogs! My kids especially love helping out with fetch. 😊 Pet care works easily with my daily, and weekly schedule, because I am a stay at home mom, and therefore home most of the time. In my home pets will be taken care of first and foremost with lots of love, (pets/snuggles). Secondly, pets will be taken care of by administering their daily needs of food, water, snacks, (if they have any), and meds, (if they have any).
About: I have had pets since I was born, and from age 5 I started to help withtheir care. I have always had a deep love for animals. I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits, etc. I may not be a professional, however, I believe I am pretty knowledgeable about cats and dogs, their care, and some training. 3rd year in college, studying mathematics at WSU. I have had pets all my life back home and I loved them all sooo much. I am free most of days of the week in between my classes, good for drop ins and dog walks :) Lots of play, cuddle, excercise and attention. What ever the pet needs and wants, I try my best to fullfil. If they need to let out energy, let them play in the yard, if they need alone time, let them nap, etc. Lots of toys and enrichment activities, and lots of love.
About: I’ve taken care of a good amount of breeds from huskies to chihuahuas. I have loved every single one that it melts my heart every time i see them. I have a dog of my own and she’s a sassy silly lazy girl. I enjoy cuddling with dogs and just having fun with them. Going on walks, playing with toys, watching a movie and going through a roller coaster of emotions, i can do a lot with dogs! i can also ensure that i will provide as much goofy photos of possible if wanted (i will be taking because its funny and brings up the vibes) I work super early so I’m available for majority of the day. I’ll leave at the crack of the morning and come back in the morning still! i’m able to take all dogs out for a potty break in between work as well and just give them attention if that’s all they need! I treat my pets like my fur babies. they are my children so i talk to them as if i have teenage kids going through their moody phase. with other people’s dogs i can present my self calmly or energized depending on what they need. i love including them in everything if they want. like if they want to help me fold laundry, cook, clean, or just watch a movie then we are all doing it as a group.
“Mikayla did awesome with my 75lb Pyrenees mix. We did a meet and greet the day before and my dog got into just about everything but Mikayla was so understanding. I will definitely be booking with Mikayla again!”
“Stephanie did an awesome job with my dog. Definitely trust her again when I come back to town for work next time. She sent some photos mid day and a message letting me know how it was going. Couldn’t ask for anything more, you can tell she has a passion for pets. Thank you.”
“Alice takes such great care of my little guy! He absolutely loves coming to her house and she is so attentive to his needs and communicative. I can’t say enough good things about Alice and her pups!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities for as long as I can remember. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide plenty of love to their pets, as well as working at the local animal shelter for a period of time. Whether it’s energetic puppies, mellow senior dogs or those with special needs. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality and I pride myself on giving them the same care and attention they’d get from you. My goal is to keep tails wagging, paws happy, and pet parents worry free while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away, whether that means long walks, snuggle time, or play sessions in the yard. I have my own dogs and 2 cats so I’ve got the routine down pretty well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have an unfenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow any routines or rules you provide to ensure consistency. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and strive for providing a safe, fun, and loving environment where they can relax and feel at home. I have two kiddos that are all about running the energy off as well so between them and the pets nobody is ever unattended outside.
“Shoshana and her family were great. They sent pictures and reports that made us feel that Keeper was being well cared for. However, Keeper seemed nervous around the children and we think a household without children would be better for him.”

“Hera was wonderful. Maggie-Roo had a great time on her walks. It's so great when one may attend an event confident that one's dog is receiving great and loving care. Thank you. Highly recommended.”
“He came to our first meeting with thoughtful questions about my dog's needs, energy level, and routine, which immediately told me he takes this seriously. My dog is very high energy, and he handles him like a pro every single time. What really sets him apart is how communicative he is! He sends tons of photos every visit and always keeps me in the loop. I never have to wonder how the walk went. He's also always on time, which matters more than people realize when you're counting on someone. I'd recommend him to anyone, but especially if you have a dog that needs more than just a quick lap around the block.”
“I booked Morgan to help with my dogs post surgery. I was unable to walk without crutches. She walked them daily and did little things here and there that were probably no big deal to her but meant a lot for me! She was kind and easy to work with and my dogs absolutely love her!!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a pre-teen, but fell in love with animal care fully in my junior year of high school, after I began volunteering at the Everett Animal Shelter. Since then, I have changed positions and worked as a post-surgery volunteer with PAWS, transporting and handling anesthetized animals after they underwent surgeries. This summer I am also interning at PAWS again, this time as a Foster Care Intern, where I manage the entire foster care system behind the scenes. Additionally, I have worked with large animals such as horses while volunteering, managed and milked dairy cattle, and took care of pigs as my job on the side. I will continue to grow my portfolio, as I am a Pre-Vet Animal Science major at Washington State University with the goal of becoming a veterinarian one day. I am currently on summer break in my hometown (Everett) and have pretty open availability. I intern at paws from 8am-12pm on Sundays & Mondays, and 12-5pm on Thursdays, but other than that, I am free for walks, house sitting, or drop ins! Safety is extremely important during both house sitting & walks! For walks, I like to make sure dogs stay on the side of the sidewalk away from the road, as well as being properly harnessed and equipped with essential needs like poop bags and water incase of an emergency. I also keep a sharp eye out for other dogs to steer clear from unwanted interactions. Additionally, during house sitting, outside doors stay locked at all times, and your pet is watched 24/7. No escapes will happen on my watch! I am open to following any other rules, expectations or suggestions you have regarding your pet & house’s safety!
About: I really love dogs, have one of my own, and will always have at least one dog. As far as cats go, I grew up with one, and even though I don't have one now, I really care for these guys. I work mostly from home, doing business that is based on product reviews. It's the type of work where I am very flexible, so I can step out from time to time to take care of pets. I don't think I should have another pet in my home as my dog doesn't get along with other dogs, but I have recent experience taking care of pets in people's houses.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a part of who I am. I currently have a 7-month-old red tri Australian Shepherd named Bear, and he’s taught me so much about working with energetic, playful pups! I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your dog wants a long walk, a game of fetch, lots of belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates because I know how comforting it is to see your pup happy while you’re away! Hi! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week. I absolutely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going for a walk, playing fetch, getting in some belly rubs, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they feel loved and comfortable every visit. I’m a proud dog mom to my 7-month-old red tri Australian Shepherd, Bear, who has taught me so much about caring for energetic, playful pups! I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always follow your instructions carefully to make sure they feel safe and happy. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep your pet safe on every walk, and send plenty of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your best friend is in good hands
About: I had a dog when I was a teenager and now that I have moved out I have a cat as well named Horchata. I also have experience taking care of rabbits and guinea pigs. Message me for my rabbit/guinea pig rate! Many family members rely on my expertise to watch their fur babies :) I am the Carmelita Spencer Foods Lab manager on campus which is a part time position and going to school full time but would really love to do something I’m passionate about on my off time like working with animals. My availability is open to anytime I am not at work. I am good at getting animals to listen and calm down if need be. I believe that animals are very in tune with tone and that is the main way they know if what they are doing is good or bad.
About: I have owned pets my entire life including dogs, cats, chickens, and hamsters! At the moment, my family has 2 dogs and a cat that I help care for when I am home from school. I eventually want to get my own dog, but for now I would love to help you take care of your pets when you’re unable to! please reach out!!! I’m currently working full time in a cafe in bellevue. My days off are sunday and monday so I am available anytime on this days. For the rest of the week, I get off work around 6:30. At home, i let my dogs outside and take them on walks! I also feed my dogs and cat in the morning and spend time with them in the house when im home or outside if the weather is nice!
About: I have had animals my whole life and grew up on a farm. I’ve house sat and pet sat for family friends since I was a little girl. I love all animals and giving them the proper support each one needs. I have a job at a coffee shop I only work some weekends at for a few hours. I’m open to work around your pets schedule. I don’t have a fenced yard and would prefer not to bring pets in my own home. I have pets at my own house and would prefer not to mix them.
About: I’ve taken care of a good amount of breeds from huskies to chihuahuas. I have loved every single one that it melts my heart every time i see them. I have a dog of my own and she’s a sassy silly lazy girl. I enjoy cuddling with dogs and just having fun with them. Going on walks, playing with toys, watching a movie and going through a roller coaster of emotions, i can do a lot with dogs! i can also ensure that i will provide as much goofy photos of possible if wanted (i will be taking because its funny and brings up the vibes) I work super early so I’m available for majority of the day. I’ll leave at the crack of the morning and come back in the morning still! i’m able to take all dogs out for a potty break in between work as well and just give them attention if that’s all they need! I treat my pets like my fur babies. they are my children so i talk to them as if i have teenage kids going through their moody phase. with other people’s dogs i can present my self calmly or energized depending on what they need. i love including them in everything if they want. like if they want to help me fold laundry, cook, clean, or just watch a movie then we are all doing it as a group.
About: I have experience working with other people's dogs as well as my own in a variety of settings. I've had dogs since I was young, and have about 10 years of experience dog-sitting, walking, and training. All throughout junior high, high school, and college, I have offered dog-sitting services for neighbors and friends. I have cared for and trained my own dogs since they were pups - training and showing them in 4-H and AKC events. I also train and care for sled dogs. I have worked in veterinary clinics as an assistant in high school and college, and am currently a second-year vet student. I am comfortable giving medications, training puppies, and walking large dogs/dogs that pull a lot :) I am currently attending veterinary school, so I am available mostly on weekends! I will also potentially be available on some weekdays during holiday breaks! I am an animal-lover and have worked with a variety of different dog breeds and personalities :) I have learned that patience and gentleness are key. You and your animal always come first!
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds in my home. While I currently only have a cat, I’ve been the owner of several dogs, a couple snakes, a bearded dragon and I’m not afraid of really any type of animal. I have a pretty open schedule, single mom to a couple of boys and pet mom to one sweet cat. I love snuggling any animal. So I live in an apartment but very frequently go out to trails and parks with my kids, I would have no problem including your pet!
About: U of I student with flexible availability. I love to walk dogs, throw the ball, play tug of war. I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Flexible availability. I have at least a couple hours of availability every day, if not more. Just reach out and we can figure out a schedule that works for you. I will do everything I can to ensure your dog or cat is healthy, happy and safe. I strive to maintain a high level of accountability, transparency and respect.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I have cared for a blind senior cat as well as a cat with hip problems, which required patience, close monitoring, and adapting the environment to keep them safe and comfortable. I currently help care for my friend’s senior dog, who also has hip and dental issues, so I’m familiar with administering gentle support, maintaining comfort, and being attentive to mobility limitations and pain cues. In addition, I have experience caring for younger animals, including kittens and puppies around 12 weeks old. This has given me practice with high-energy care, feeding routines, supervision, and basic early-life behavior management. Overall, I’m comfortable working with both senior pets and young animals, and I adjust my care style based on each pet’s specific health, energy level, and personality needs. Pet care fits into my routine pretty easily because I currently have a part-time job with a very variable schedule. Since my shifts change from week to week, I’m generally flexible and available most days with some notice. This flexibility allows me to adjust around pet care responsibilities like feeding, walks, check-ins, or overnight stays when needed. I’m also used to planning my time in a way that ensures animals are consistently cared for, even on busier days, so I can reliably fit pet care into my weekly schedule. In my home, I would make sure any pet is cared for in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. While my apartment doesn’t have a backyard, there is a fenced-in area nearby where dogs can run, play fetch, and get exercise. I also have a car, so if the owner is comfortable with it, I can take the dogs to a dog park for additional enrichment and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions are followed closely. I’m also very mindful of respecting the home itself. I was raised to always leave a place cleaner than I found it, so I make sure everything is kept tidy, organized, and exactly as I found it. Communication is also important to me, so I always update owners and let them know right away if anything seems off or if there are any concerns about their pet’s health, behavior, or well-being.

“Courtney (and her family) did such a wonderful job watching our dogs while my husband and I were away on vacation. She sent photographs of the dogs every night and gave an update on their day. She was very attentive to their needs. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be coming back to her for future sitting jobs ?”
“Second time watching our sweet senior gal doodlebug and Melissa was amazing! She was very communicative and supportive as this was the longest my wife and I have been away from our pup. Will definitely be using her for our boarding needs!”
“Amany was amazing! She was so flexible, as she agreed to a last minute booking with my pup. She also responded quickly and answered all my questions. My pup was so spoiled during the stay. He went shopping and was definitely part of the family during the stay. He was so tired from all the play time and extra attention, he fell asleep in the car on the way home. I will definitely use Amany again!”
“Stephanie is great with both of my little Pomeranians! Her and her family love on the dogs and they love going to her! She’s always responsive and sends me videos and pictures! I’ve come to depend on her anytime I need to go out of town without the dogs! I highly recommend her!”

“Lily is AMAZING, I cannot praise her enough!! She is attentive, asked plenty of questions, and really did an amazing job caring for Penny. I was worried due recent health issues, but Lily never skipped a beat. I am so thankful to have found her, and can’t wait until the next stay!”
“Shoshana was so kind to my dog and was very reliable. Her warmth and love of animals was very apparent from our first meeting. I was able to go away with complete peace of mind knowing that my dog was being so well cared for.”
About: I have been growing up around dogs my whole life. As a child and into my teen years, I did the Dog project in 4-H for five years and helped lead the group. I have experience handling and training dogs for obedience and show environments, and I am comfortable with all pets! I have been house-sitting in the summers for many different dog-owners, so I am knowledgeable and experienced in providing care for these animals. My parents' dog (aka "my" dog) is a German Shorthaired Pointer and his name is Murphy. I spend a lot of time with him, and I have a special spot in my heart for all animals. I also spent a couple years co-parenting a little calico cat named Stitch with my best friend. I do also have some experience with reptiles, as I currently have one bearded dragon and one Pac-Man frog in my care. I am unable to have a dog or cat of my own at this stage in my life, due to money and living restraints, but I am thankful when I can spend time with others’ animals in this way. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend and give them lots of love! I am currently a Graduate Admissions Specialist / DSO at the University of Idaho! This means that I do work full-time (8-5 with a 1-hour lunch break) on campus on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I work full-time from home on Thursdays. I do not work weekends and am usually very available if I have not marked it off on my Rover calendar. If your animal is okay/used to being alone for the work day, or can be alone for 4-5 hours at a time, I am the fit for you during the week. I can provide drop-in visits before and after work, and on my lunch break, or I am happy to stay in your home, where I will care for your pet before and after my work day, and during my lunch break if that is most comfortable! UPDATE: I have moved to Lewiston, ID as of 7/31/2026. I still commute to work in Moscow, ID for the time being, but will be available in the mornings before work and evenings after. I am currently looking for a full-time remote job or position located in Lewiston. I will update this section once my employment situation changes! If your pet requires more frequent attention, I might be your gal for a weekend trip! On the weekends, I do not work and have lots of time to hang around with your pet(s)! :) At the moment I am not able to be boarding at my own address, and I am open to house-sitting after I have established a positive face-to-face relationship with each client. I will adhere to any and all established rules and routines for animals in their home to provide the most comfortable and safe experience that is possible.
About: I have taken care of all animals from household pets, wildlife to farm animals for 30 years now. I have vet education and am cpr certified. I am currently a stay at home mom of two boys. I have open availability and the time and attention to watch your furbaby. Boarding is only on weekends due to husband working early during the week. I have a fenced back yard and a very enthusiastic fun furbaby of my own who will be a great companion to your pupper he is two and loves cats and dogs small to huge. I also have a cat who is his best friend and loves to help me look after any pet in need she is always offering to be a surrogate mother to any pet or human in need lol she's so sweet.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs, cats, and even farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I believe they deserve care that's tailored specifically to them. I'm comfortable caring for puppies who need patience, consistency, and lots of play, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler pace, extra attention, and sticking to familiar routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I'm attentive to detail, reliable, and committed to following your pet's routine exactly as instructed (including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care needs). My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving you complete peace of mind through dependable communication and thoughtful care. Beginning in late August through mid-December 2026, I'll be student teaching during the weekdays. During that time, I'm available for morning visits before school, afternoon and evening walks or drop-ins, overnight stays, and weekend care. My schedule is consistent and allows me to plan ahead, so I can provide dependable, reliable care around my teaching responsibilities. Before and after student teaching, I’ll work as a substitute and be much more available. I have a fenced yard and one personal dog. I am able to separate the dogs and provide your dog quality attention as often as desired.
