Mid-day dog walk or run: $17 Our dog walkers are experienced and dog savvy. We walk a maximum of 2 dogs per walk to ensure safety and control in all situations. Walks average 30-40 minutes. Is a walk not enough exercise for your dog? Pet Sitter Katie loves to run and will take your dog for a half hour run around Park Center, the North End, or SE Boise.
Overnight Pet Sitting (8 pm - 8 am): $60 We will stay with your pets through the night. This includes feeding the pets, taking the dogs for a walk, or just hangining out with them while watching TV. You tell us what your pets' routine is and we'll try to be your perfect substitue. We also water plants (indoor and outdoor), bring in the mail/paper, and keep a close eye on your pets and home.
Overnight Stay + Mid-day visit (8 pm - 8 am + 12-1 pm mid-day): $75 This option is a great balance as your pets will get lots of TLC with the overnight visit, plus we'll come back (or stay all morning if possible) for a mid-day break. We'll replicate your pet care routine and care for your home and plants too. We'll text or email you daily or multiple times daily to ensure you have peace of mind that your pets are doing well.
