“Brandi is fantastic! She happened to be his vet tech during an emergency visit, and the familiar face put our boy at ease. Later he stayed with her while still on his meds from his incident, and I felt completely confident having him in her care. He whines at the door to see her at dropoff, and comes home happy and tired. We love Bravdi 🤩”
“I was so nervous about having to leave my service dog for a month to go out of the country! Courtney and her family gave him so much love and attention. She even sent me a picture every day so I could see how he was doing. I hate leaving my boy ever, but I will have much more peace of mind now if I do have to, knowing he will be loved and cared for.”
“Super nice people, their love for animals really shows. They took such great care of my boy and were super flexible and accommodating to our needs. So much space for the dogs to run and play! 1000% recommend”
“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!”
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.
“Leaving our dog with Mikayla was incredibly successful! He’s a Labrador and very attached to people. He really needed a family that was available to give him lots of time and attention. Mikayla was great about sending us updates and we do much appreciate Mikayla and her family! Overall, a tremendous experience!”
“Amany was absolutely incredible! She was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which was a lifesaver. From the moment we dropped off our two dogs, we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Amany provided consistent updates throughout the day, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and having a blast with her! Her attention to detail, love for animals, and excellent communication truly set her apart. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and we highly recommend Amany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Melissa and Ryan are the best. My dog loves going there. She has separation anxiety and they are so patient and helpful in making her feel part of their family. She sends photos and keeps me informed of any concerns that may arise.”
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.
“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!”
“Barney had playmates and daily outings. He was well cared for and happy to be there. Stephanie even received the coveted Barney snuggles. I would gladly leave him with Stephanie again. I am also looking into day play dates with this sitter.”
“Ashley did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of my sweet corgi girl nala while I was on vacation! It was my first time leaving her at someone else’s house for that long & ashley made me feel so comfortable with the process & I knew my sweetie would be taken care of to the fullest! She sent pics & chatted with me every day thru out the week & checked in with me on any changes ahead of time. 10000% recommend her & her boarding services, dog walking, etc.!!!!”
About: Hi I’m Erin, I will be the one to give your pet plenty of love and walks whenever they need it! I will be able to pet sit when you want to have a weekend get away or drop in visits to check on your pets. Throughout my 18 years I have been raised around all types of different animals from the smallest to the largest. Such as tiny mice and guinea pigs to horses and cows. I have my own two dogs an a horse while my parents still have a little farm. I have pet sat for others before and absolutely loved it! I am a college student and will be working part time but I don’t have to many classes and will have multiple breaks for to walk or check your pets! I have a flexible schedule so finding openings that fit work best. It fits in-between classes and time when I’m not doing anything on the weekends or when I don’t have class. I love to spoil my pets at home. My dogs sleep with me in my bed and so do my cats. I treat them like my children and couldn’t live without them.
“Lily is so incredible with our two cats that are full of character. She understands them and is attentive to their needs. We appreciated the communication she kept with us and we will surely leave our fur babies with her again. Thanks, Lily!”
About: What can I say, people are crazy but animals just make sense 😂 I've grown up with cats since I was an infant, they're truly the prefect animal, can't change my mind! I also have experience with dogs, some reptiles, assorted rodents including guinea pigs, and fish. Outside of that, I'm a fast learner, not afraid of much, and capable of following instructions. I'd love to meet your fur baby! I work full time, so we will just need to talk and figure out schedules. I can usually make it work. I have a reliable car I have a lot of yard space, most of it not fenced unfortunately but I have multiple runners. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in the bottom of a full sized house, so it's spacious and stays cool in the summer. I have a kennel but use it sparingly. My own dogs get taken to one of several parks every morning to run off energy, as well as car rides and walks around the neighborhood. They live their rams horn filled with yogurt or peanut butter and frozen, for their inside time! I try to keep things stimulating As for care in your home, you tell me! I'll adapt to your needs as best I can :)
About: I have seen and taken care of many different pets. I have a lot of energy and will show your pet the attention it deserves. I have been around many cats and dogs and have had birds in the past and currently have a dwarf gerbil. I am a 21 year old student at the University of Idaho. I have had all sorts of pets and really just enjoy the happiness they bring me. I have a part time job and school but am still pretty flexible. I am very detail oriented and like to think I am pretty responsible. I love pets so I would never want anything bad to happen to one of my pets or anyone else's.
“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!”
About: My family has always loved animals so its basically a zoo at my mom’s house: 2 german shepherds, 2 snakes, and 5 rats. I love and adore all sorts of animals and would love to meet yours! I’m an undergraduate student at UI, I have a 1 year old kitten that is basically my son, he is so loved and I want to help YOU take care of your pet for the best and most loving life possible for your pet. Hello! I currently work full time at a child care center. I work from 8:30-5, 5 days a week. Unfortunately I’m unable to do drop in visits or dog walking during those hours but i’m totally willing to do either before or after my shift! Thank you for understanding🩷 I ensure that my kitty is never bored so I have frequent play sessions along with plenty of exercise in the apartment I live in. When I’m dog sitting I try to burn all that extra energy by long walks and enrichment toys or treats. Whatever your pet needs is my mission!

Cat caregivers near you - Whelan
“Hera did an amazing job checking on our cats while we were away, she was super communicative and we felt confident that they were in good hands with her. She gave them lots of attention and even got our more shy one to come out of her shell. We could definitely tell by their mood when we got back that they were well taken care of!”
“Morgan did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties for 5 days, two include one of them needing meds administered. She also spent quality time with them, as well as did a great job cleaning their pans thoroughly and swept up litter throughout. Was nice to come home to a neat house with no odor. Thank you again Morgan, we greatly appreciate it and look forward to reaching out in the future. ;)”
“Sara is amazing! She takes her sitting seriously and loves my cats like her own. I’ve booked with her for both drop-in and overnights. She’s on-time, her communication is fantastic and I feel confident in leaving my cats and home in her meticulous care. I’m sure my cats love her as they wind around her legs immediately every time she comes over. Book with Sara today, you and your cats will not regret it!”
“Jessica was great. She stopped by just like we asked, and even went the extra mile to play with out more sociable fur babies. She made sure to get pictures of them as well so we didn't worry too much. I would definitely hire her again!”
“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 :)”
“This is the second time Arsen has taken care of my two cats for an extended period. She was reliable, shared daily comments and photos, brought in my mail and package deliveries, and cuddled with the kitties. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had years of experience since I was young taking care of stray cats (adults to kittens), and I have two cats of my own. I’m well versed in cleaning litter boxes, fountains, etc, and I have a lot of experience with wary cats that take awhile to warm up!
About: I’ve had a bit of experience with cats through cat sitting a couple of times and living with a roommate who has a cat. I’ve handled feeding, refilling water, and cleaning the litter box, and made sure the cat is comfortable while their owner is away. Living with a cat has also given me more everyday experience—getting used to their routines, personalities, and learning how to interact with them in a calm and respectful way.
About: Back home in New Mexico I have several cats I watch/stay with regularly. I am very comfortable giving medications if needed and do not mind working with kitties who may be anxious and need special care.
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior horses while I was out town. They required medication and special feed, and she handled it with ease. She was very professional and reliable, and the horses seemed well-cared-for and happy upon return. Thank you!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Whelan
“Brandi was amazing. We used her for daycare while in town for a conference. She loves dogs and it shows. My little mini doxie had never met her before and loved her. He was very excited to go play everyday. Augie was well cared for and I was updated multiple times a day with pictures. Highly recommend. I wish she lived closer to me so that I could use her services regularly.”
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 had a Pharaoh hound growing up for 15 years and lost her to cancer 4 years ago. I love going on walks, and I'm looking for some new companions to join me!

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.
“Whitney and her dogs welcomed my pup and helped her settle in, even though she was nervous at first. She also kept an eye out to make sure everything stayed safe, since the pup was just getting acclimated to being around small children. I really appreciated this help getting the dog socialized, since I very much want her to be a 100% kid-friendly dog as she grows up! Thank you!!”
“Ayca was a wonderful dog sitter for our little poodle. Her calm demeanor was perfect for Molly and when we returned we could tell she had been in good hands. Thanks again for your kindness to our dog!”
“Mikayla is wonderful! Kind, communicative, and flexible. Sassy had a great time and Mikayla sent many pictures and updates. I’m so grateful for her care of Sassy! We will return :)”

“Just a fantastic experience! Was in town for a day for a conference & had to check out of my dog friendly hotel that morning, so needed doggie daycare. Rosalie was responsive, professional, attentive & provided a great space for Dalton very convenient to university campus, not to mention a friendly gentle dog of her own. Beautiful home, amazing (fenced in) yard. I really felt that Dalton was in great hands. Would highly recommend & would absolutely book again with Rosalie.”

About: I’ve worked for dog breakers and have been a pet sitter dozens of times. I love spending time with animals and always treat them with the best care. I work 6am-2pm Monday-friday, but am able to take off work or get a substitute when needed. If you need someone watching your animal for 1-5 days, I can fit that in with my work schedule. I unfortunately live in an apartment, so taking the dog or cat will be hard, but I have no problem going to someone’s house to check/take care/watch your animal!

“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.”
About: I have had both dogs and cats in my home my whole life. I am currently a WSU Pre-Vet student. My world revolves around my pets, and I will make sure your pets feel the same. I attend classes at Washington State University but still have plenty of time for walks and snuggles. I am available for longer stays on the weekends or during the week if an overnight stay is okay. I always monitor my dogs while they are outside because I do not have a fenced yard. Neither of my dog's sleep in crates, but I am more than willing to enforce that if needed.
About: I had my own dog for 10 years before he passed. I occasionally foster for the Whitman county humane society so I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs, as well as those who need medications. My availability is currently wide open and I would love to spend my time helping other people take care of their furry loved ones! I also have experience with different forms of leashes (i.e. gentle leaders, harnesses, etc.). I understand the importance of repetition for dogs and will do my best to keep to your schedules and the way you do things. Please let me know how I can help you and your pet! :) I am currently in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is wide open for the time being but will keep my calendar updated I live in a smaller apartment so it would be best for only dog at my place at a time. Will follow any rules in place for time spent at the client’s home.
“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.”
“Allison has been walking my reactive pup, Bodi, for several weeks now. Because of Allison's gentle and calm demeanor, Bodi was comfortable with her right away. She has experience with reactive dogs and listened attentively to my specific instructions on how I manage Bodi's reactivity. She applies her experience, intuition and knowledge of dog body language to keep him under threshold. Allison is a treasure and I wish she could be Bodi's life-long dog walker!”
“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!!”
“Noah is very professional. My dog very much enjoys his walk time. Teddy sits and waits for Noah to come. He has the schedule down. Except Teddy hasn't figured out why no Noah on weekends.”

I’ve had dogs for over 15 years, small and large, young and old. We own one cat named Daisy, who is very calm and non-aggressive. We are very flexible and will accommodate most requests (administer medication, special diet, separate dogs if needed, etc). Potty breaks every 2-4 hours. Any breed/age/size welcome as long as they get along with other dogs and are potty trained and not aggressive. I am a non-busy college student so at home weekdays and weekends. We do regular potty breaks as needed and visit the dog park daily. We have a large unfenced yard. We will keep your dog leashed when outside unless they have great recall and we have your permission to let them run freely. I am home 90% of the time so lots of time spend with the animals. We have a routine of potty breaks, walks, meals, play time, and rest. We can accommodate any reasonable special requests, aside from normal care, walks, etc. Just let me know how to best take care of your pet and we will make it happen.

I am currently on summer break from vet school so I have all the time in the world to focus on your pets care! I am extremely flexible with my hours I'm available. One of my dogs is especially anxious around other dogs so I will not be offering care in my home. I am more than happy to stay with your pet in the comfort of their own home as long as they need! I will match wherever your pet is at comfortability wise. If they want all the snuggles, great! If they just want me to sit with/near them, great! Their happiness is my priority!

I just graduated from college so I am trying to make some extra money this summer before my corporate job starts in August.

I have stayed with dogs during holidays with fireworks and provided a safe environment for them to relax.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was young. Anything from guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. My family has had a variety of dogs, so I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all ages. I have taken care of senior dogs with special care required regarding seizures and numerous medications. I’ve also assisted in training for younger dogs for basic tricks and potty training. I’m currently a PhD student, so I’m on campus around half the week! Weekends are very open/flexible for me, and I’m also available in the mornings/mid-day/nights. I would generally keep pets separate from my own, aside from other cats. They’d have their own space to decompress, but they would still receive lots of love!

“Brandi is fantastic! She happened to be his vet tech during an emergency visit, and the familiar face put our boy at ease. Later he stayed with her while still on his meds from his incident, and I felt completely confident having him in her care. He whines at the door to see her at dropoff, and comes home happy and tired. We love Bravdi 🤩”
“I was so nervous about having to leave my service dog for a month to go out of the country! Courtney and her family gave him so much love and attention. She even sent me a picture every day so I could see how he was doing. I hate leaving my boy ever, but I will have much more peace of mind now if I do have to, knowing he will be loved and cared for.”
“Super nice people, their love for animals really shows. They took such great care of my boy and were super flexible and accommodating to our needs. So much space for the dogs to run and play! 1000% recommend”
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.
“Leaving our dog with Mikayla was incredibly successful! He’s a Labrador and very attached to people. He really needed a family that was available to give him lots of time and attention. Mikayla was great about sending us updates and we do much appreciate Mikayla and her family! Overall, a tremendous experience!”
“Amany was absolutely incredible! She was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which was a lifesaver. From the moment we dropped off our two dogs, we felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. Amany provided consistent updates throughout the day, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and having a blast with her! Her attention to detail, love for animals, and excellent communication truly set her apart. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and we highly recommend Amany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Melissa and Ryan are the best. My dog loves going there. She has separation anxiety and they are so patient and helpful in making her feel part of their family. She sends photos and keeps me informed of any concerns that may arise.”
“Barney had playmates and daily outings. He was well cared for and happy to be there. Stephanie even received the coveted Barney snuggles. I would gladly leave him with Stephanie again. I am also looking into day play dates with this sitter.”
“Ashley did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of my sweet corgi girl nala while I was on vacation! It was my first time leaving her at someone else’s house for that long & ashley made me feel so comfortable with the process & I knew my sweetie would be taken care of to the fullest! She sent pics & chatted with me every day thru out the week & checked in with me on any changes ahead of time. 10000% recommend her & her boarding services, dog walking, etc.!!!!”
About: Hi I’m Erin, I will be the one to give your pet plenty of love and walks whenever they need it! I will be able to pet sit when you want to have a weekend get away or drop in visits to check on your pets. Throughout my 18 years I have been raised around all types of different animals from the smallest to the largest. Such as tiny mice and guinea pigs to horses and cows. I have my own two dogs an a horse while my parents still have a little farm. I have pet sat for others before and absolutely loved it! I am a college student and will be working part time but I don’t have to many classes and will have multiple breaks for to walk or check your pets! I have a flexible schedule so finding openings that fit work best. It fits in-between classes and time when I’m not doing anything on the weekends or when I don’t have class. I love to spoil my pets at home. My dogs sleep with me in my bed and so do my cats. I treat them like my children and couldn’t live without them.
“Lily is so incredible with our two cats that are full of character. She understands them and is attentive to their needs. We appreciated the communication she kept with us and we will surely leave our fur babies with her again. Thanks, Lily!”
About: What can I say, people are crazy but animals just make sense 😂 I've grown up with cats since I was an infant, they're truly the prefect animal, can't change my mind! I also have experience with dogs, some reptiles, assorted rodents including guinea pigs, and fish. Outside of that, I'm a fast learner, not afraid of much, and capable of following instructions. I'd love to meet your fur baby! I work full time, so we will just need to talk and figure out schedules. I can usually make it work. I have a reliable car I have a lot of yard space, most of it not fenced unfortunately but I have multiple runners. I have a 3 bedroom apartment in the bottom of a full sized house, so it's spacious and stays cool in the summer. I have a kennel but use it sparingly. My own dogs get taken to one of several parks every morning to run off energy, as well as car rides and walks around the neighborhood. They live their rams horn filled with yogurt or peanut butter and frozen, for their inside time! I try to keep things stimulating As for care in your home, you tell me! I'll adapt to your needs as best I can :)
About: I have seen and taken care of many different pets. I have a lot of energy and will show your pet the attention it deserves. I have been around many cats and dogs and have had birds in the past and currently have a dwarf gerbil. I am a 21 year old student at the University of Idaho. I have had all sorts of pets and really just enjoy the happiness they bring me. I have a part time job and school but am still pretty flexible. I am very detail oriented and like to think I am pretty responsible. I love pets so I would never want anything bad to happen to one of my pets or anyone else's.
“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!”
About: My family has lots of dogs ranging from 150 lbs to 7 lbs. I have taken care of them since I was 10 years old. My schedule is very open, I only have class on Tuesday and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is open all day for me to watch. I am active so your dog will be walked and taken outside very often. My house is big so lots of room to play around.
About: I’ll take good care of your fur babies, like they’re my own. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. What sets me apart is that I will not neglect your pet. We are available at all times to ensure that your dog is well cared for and given the attention he/she deserves. Will have access to a big backyard to run around in and stretch out their legs or if they just simply want to enjoy the sunshine for a bit. It will be like a vacation for them, while you enjoy your trip knowing that your furbaby is in good hands. We are home weekly and are able to care for your dog as they are our own. Can feed dogs specialty food, walk your dog and even throw a ball if they like that. Can give medication if needed for older dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a young teenager. Mostly dogs and cats of my own, however I love meeting new animals. My strengths derive from my hard work ethic and passion for helping others. I’m a fast learner and am confident following instructions to exact standards. I am a teacher. During the summer I look for part time jobs. This job makes me feel like I’m doing something meaningful. My pets love to spend the extra time with me during the summer so I think others would too. I have large rooms on hardwood flooring. Animals can be crated, put in living room, or free to roam. I have a friendly dog who loves to make friends but can be kept away when needed. I like to take my dog on walks but I would only walk animals as recommended. I check my animals food and water twice a day. I also make sure to check that my dog has seen the new bowl of food at times.
“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.”
