Dog Boarding Viola

“Brandi was great! Peanut just took right to her and loved being there. Brandi sent me daily photos to see how Peanut was adapting. She loved being there and I will definitely seek out Brandi the next time we need a sitter for Peanut. I know she will be well taken care of and I will be able to enjoy my time away not worrying about her.”

“Ahsoka had a great time with Katia! She got very comfortable and was clearly well taken care of. We received regular and appropriate updates.”

“Chelsea was wonderful to work with! She had great communication and kept us updated with how our pup was doing! Our little Ti came back happy and I felt confident the whole time we were away! Highly recommend :)”

About: I have loved and adored dogs since I was able to walk on my own. I have owned a large number of dogs over the years. My wife and I currently own a Brittany, a Golden Collie, and an old herding dog. My dogs enjoy a huge fenced back yard while also having 12 acres to run around and burn energy. I am a caretaker of my father in law and am at home during the day. I own three dogs that love socializing and meeting new friends I live on 12 acres can walk and play with your dogs. I have several dog crates for evening sleeping if needed (larger breeds may need to provide their own). Access to water to play in, drinking water, treats and training time. I am happy to provide the love your fur babies deserve while you enjoy your vacation!

“Courtney and her family loved my dogs almost as much as I do. Your dogs will be well cared for by Courtney and her family. I actually felt bad about taking my dogs from her kids when I left. They had all bonded during the stay. It was so sweet.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cared for family pets, and helped my mom with her rover dogs, including walks and everyday care with love! I’m an online student with a flexible schedule. I work Mondays 11-6 and Wednesday 11-1, leaving plenty of time for pet care. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by creating a calm, caring environment where pets feel secure, happy, and well looked after, just like they deserve.

“Got pics and updates showing the dogs were doing great. They do host multiple pups at any one time and thankfully ours get along with any dogs so it worked, did not realize that till we got there but isn't an issue for us. The pics of our snuggler pup being petted by their toddler was so cute. Have already booked them again for August!”

About: I am a current vet student on my clinical rotation. I know small animal CPR and well knowledge and skilled in administering medications to dogs and cats. As a full time student. My schedule varies each week but willing to work things out to help take care of your pet. Some weekends free I have a friendly small size 13 year old dog. I can provide dog walks, play time, and company for your pet. I can also help administer medications if your pet has any medical condition that’s being managed

About: I’ve been a dog trainer for 5 years and frequently work with animal behavior, loose leash walking, and puppy basics. I’ve also been a dog groomer and bather for 3 years and have worked at various boarding facilities, so I have a lot of hands on experience with animal care and all the everyday parts of caring for dogs. I’ve also worked on an AKC German Shepherd farm doing conformation showing and training, and I’ve fostered 6 puppies that I trained and prepared for their new families — they still keep in touch with me daily! I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood while they’re in my care. I work part time, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups **(Me and a roomate in the home I will be the sole and only caretaker of your pet throughout the week.)**I live just a few steps from Reaney Park and visit there frequently, so walks and outdoor time are already a regular part of my routine. I have Sundays off every week and am happy to dedicate that day to extra time and attention with your pup. My home is dog proofed and set up to be a safe, comfortable place for your pup. I have two very friendly dogs who can interact with your dog if they’re comfortable with each other, or they can be put away if your dog prefers their own space. Both of my dogs are off-leash trained, but when a client’s dog is staying with me, the door does not open unless that dog is safely leashed. We’re 10 steps away from Reaney Park, where client dogs stay on a leash or long line the entire time. We also have a fenced balcony that your dog can enjoy with supervision if you’d like them to have access to it. Inside, there are plenty of appropriate toys to chew on and cords, surfaces, and other hazards are kept out of reach. Your dog will be supervised whenever they’re not safely crated. I love giving dogs as much freedom as they can safely handle, so please feel free to tell me your pup’s expectations, routines, and requirements. I’m happy to follow them and make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

“Mikayla is absolutely amazing! I don’t have enough kind/positive words to describe our experience. We boarded our 2 dogs with her for just under a week. One of our dogs is very scared of strangers, but Mikayla had him warmed up and part of the family in just a couple of days! I was so impressed and glad to know that both my babies were taken care of and loved just as they are at home (if not more!). Thank you, Mikayla!”

“Anna, Luke and their dog Taco were wonderful. They made Rio feel at home and were accomodating with our shifting schedule. We loved having the opportunity to introduce the dogs at a local dog park before just dropping Rio off. We would highly recommend them!”

“Lily was fantastic with my small Pomeranian mix! Ember is a bit nervous around new people, but immediately took to Lily and they had a great time together with lots of attention and walks. Communication was great too... I highly recommend Lily! ☺️”

Katy M.

“Lindsay was amazing. She was very communicative and flexible even when our plans changed unexpectedly. She sent updates and pictures, which was so appreciated as it was our first time boarding our pup. I would absolutely book Lindsay again!”

Liz T.

“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: 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.

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.
