Pet Sitting Winstead Park

About: I'm the go-to pet-sitter for people whose friends all have pets. I've been dogsitting consistently in single- and multi-pet households since 2014, establishing a personal, trusted rapport with pets and their families. I've worked with pets young and old, engaging in regular exercise, medication administration, and plenty of belly rubs. I've been the proud owner of pets throughout my life, from a lovable German Shepherd to a spunky Yorkie. And I've watched a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages (senior pets are my current niche), from high-energy Brittanys to homebody New Foundlands, mini- and full-sized doodles, Boston terriers, poodle mixes, bully mixes, and cattle mixes. I live in Boise's Winstead Park neighborhood but have worked with clients in Eagle, Meridian, and Barber Valley — just ask! I'm available for low-risk meet-and-greets with your pets. I'm a remote worker with an active lifestyle (rock climbing, circus arts, etc.), so being away at a job doesn't get in the way of quality pet care. I'm available for sitting 7 days a week on short- and long-term notice, and rarely gone from the home more than a few hours at a time. Message me about additional walk and drop-in availability! I fully believe that keeping pets in your home is the safest, most comfortable option for them while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, caring for pets and plants, bringing in mail, feeding fish, locking doors and gates, and completing other household responsibilities. Responsive communication is a big priority for me, so I respond quickly and check-in regularly with photos, videos, and messages while you're away. My friends, family, or partners are never in your home. Similar to being in the outdoors, I operate with a leave-no-trace attitude. I clean up after myself, wash towels and bedding, and run dishwashers before departure. In most cases, you'll never know I was there, except for a happy pet whose thrilled to see you when you get home. I do not offer pet-sitting or dog-sitting services in my home at this time. ⭐More reviews!⭐ "Skylar was absolutely great and would highly recommend! One of our dogs is doodle who is anxious and shy. Skylar was so patient with him and really took her time getting to know him at his speed, which we greatly appreciated. Skylar was also super prompt, had amazing communication regarding updates on our dogs, and took great care of our house and plants. We will for sure be using her again!" - Taylor M. "Skylar provided excellent house- and dog-sitting services while I was gone for 12 days. She did a great job of keeping me informed throughout my trip, she asked great questions which let me know that she was engaged, and my house was spotless when I returned. My 3 golden retrievers were obviously happy while I was gone (pictures and videos) and when I got home. One of them is a special needs 3-legged tripod. Skylar followed all my instructions to a T, and all of them were very well cared for I will use Skylar’s services again for sure. And I would be happy to recommend her to my best friend.

“Nugget was very well taken care of during our holiday vacation. Alinda sent multiple pictures from every visit, showed up on a regular schedule exactly as expected and stayed the full visit time to give Nugget plenty of attention in addition to the feeding and litterbox chores.”

“Bailey is so good with my little dog. The 2nd time she came over, Fuji saw her coming to the door and wagged her tail like crazy! Bailey has the energy to give Fuji a workout like we as seniors sometimes don't have. We are very glad to have found Bailey!”

“Erin is a delight to work with. She really cares. She also provided really insightful and clear updates and pictures. I’ll add she has a great sense of humor too. We really appreciated her and felt that our two Yorkies were in great hands.. Thanks Erin ❤️❤️❤️👍”

“Took great care of the dogs and sent pictures all the time!”

“Caitlynn is absolutely amazing!!!!! She is the sweetest with our dogs and takes extra time each visit to make sure they are happy and get some snuggles while we are away. She is especially attentive to our old (and sometimes cranky) girl who only likes certain people, and Caitlynn is one of those people because she is so sweet and patient with her. Caitlynn is our #1 choice always! If we could give 10 stars, we would.”

“Phedre went above and beyond with our pups! She would leave detailed notes about the visit with plenty of pics. I particularly appreciated that she would make note of bringing in a package or closing the garage door so we didn’t worry. She even washed the dog bowls! The dogs also seemed to really like her with plenty of pic of them cuddling up to her. I will definitely see if she’s available the next time I need help with the dogs.”

Alexis G.

“Josey was absolutely fantastic for our pups Sailor and Zazu. She communicates well, often, and is thoughtful in asking questions. If you are like me it is the most comforting to have someone you trust, your dogs love, and shows up for them when they need her. I will absolutely be checking to see if Josey is available for future visits!”

John S.

“Mikayla is great with my cat! He is so much calmer when I see him after one of her visits, and she is great dealing with his blindness. She is very reliable and professional, and great at helping me deal with my crazy schedule!”

Alison S.

“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”

Aurora B.

“Alisa was so great! She gave my pups loves and cuddles and sent pictures throughout the visit! We will definitely be having her come by again :)”

About: As a long-time animal-lover, I’ll happily care for your dog while you’re away or bring them along for a walk or hike with my own pups. We currently have two dogs and cat so I have plenty of experience to make your fur baby feel safe, loved, and cared for ❤️ I work remotely and get to spend all day with my pups. We usually go out for two shorts walks a day and then a longer walk or hike after work. Whenever meeting a new pet, I give them the space to feel safe around me. I think it’s important to let them warm up to me on their own accord. In terms of physical safety, I always ensure that pets are securely harnessed and leashed before we head out.

“Elisa took care of my 2 old cats multiple days. She followed the instructions I left and went beyond that with extra effort. She reported through Rover each day she visited and included pictures. My cats seemed very happy with her and even let her pet them! I will definitely request Elise if we travel again.”

“Niki has been so helpful with our dogs. One is elderly and has been watched by her many times. This recent trip was the first time we also left our 4 yr old lab for an extended amount of time. Niki took the time to make sure our lab got exercise and both of our girls were in great spirits on our return. Everything went great!!”

“Anna took care of my sweet but sometimes temperamental kitty and rolled with the punches when he made a mess”

“Sara was able to accommodate a last minute request after our original pet sitting plans fell through. She took great care of our cats and I would definitely work with her again!”
