How it works?
Phillip
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rigby, Idaho
Retired, tidy & active Fire Department Couple. Love pets and adventure.
Phil and Trish took care of our home, plants, and three dogs while we were away for two weeks. They did an **outstanding job** in every way. Our house was spotless upon our return, the plants were thriving, and our dogs were happy and healthy. Phil and Trish were incredibly responsible and attentive the entire time we were gone. They followed all our instructions and they kept us updated with regular messages and photos. There were a couple of very minor household mishaps that they let us know about right away, and Phil was kind enough to unclog a slow draining sink. We highly recommend Phil and Trish to anyone who needs reliable and caring house sitters. We would be happy to have them back any time.
Megan
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rigby, Idaho
Former Vet Tech with 20+ years experience!
Megan was a super house and pet sitter. She was very easy to communicate with, and took great care of our pets. She took our dog on many walks with other dogs, which was so wonderful for him, because he’s extremely social. She was also very adaptable and helpful when people needed to come over to the house. I would love to have her back to sit again, and so would Scheiner and Gitel!
Emily

Emily was super communicative, helpful, clean, organized. She sent daily check-ins and photos, was willing to do a meet and greet for just a quick one night stay. Definitely recommend her!
James & Terre

Hospitality Professionals Living the Dream
The best! Terre and James were fantastic, lovely people. Great communication and well cared for, maybe even a little bit spoilt, pups. My dogs loved them and I really appreciated everything they did, including a few odd jobs around the house that was a lovely surprise to come home to. Cannot recommend them enough and keeping my fingers crossed that they will be available the next time I go away.
Alma
Providing Pet Sitting in the Rigby, Idaho
Fun small family looking to party with a fun fur-baby(ies).
Alma is a kind, young woman. However, we will not have her return to sit. The three areas of concern: We agreed that she could plan to arrive a day after the sit began, due to her flight reservations. Her stated plan was that her dad, who lives locally, would check on the dogs the first day of the sit, arriving around 3:30 the day of our departure. As of 9pm, our Ring Camera, located on front porch, indicated that no one had arrived. I reached out about my concern. Her reply: "Hi! My dad was having a hard time finding your home. He's on his way!" From there, she sent her dad to the home, after 9pm, and he stayed approximately 7 minutes. I feel confident that no one would have checked on the dogs had I not texted Alma that night. This was upsetting. She also stated that she would have her dad walk the dogs. My Welcome Guide, that was sent to her, states in several places, NOT to walk the dogs, please. This indicated to me that she had not reviewed the Welcome Guide. Lastly, the night we arrived home from our flight, both our screen door and front door were left unlocked.

Reviews from Pet Owners
Ann
This was the 3rd time that Jill sat for us. That says it all but please read our previous reviews. They all stand and Jill is one of the best and most reliable and loving pet sitters we’ve ever had. If you have a chance to have her in your home and caring for your pets, you will be absolutely delighted. We love her.
Ericka
Leah was an excellent pet sitter and take care of our home when we were on vacation. Our dogs were sad when she left. She even made us some delicious tacos when we got home from the airport! We highly recommend her!
Kristina and Doug
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Nancy
Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well! They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters. Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters. They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue. The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them. The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless. Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher! We hope to see you again!
Heidi
I felt totally confident in leaving Darcy and my house in Elaine’s care and I returned to a very contended dog and a perfectly clean and tidy house. Elaine arrived the day before I left so I was able to get to know her and enjoy an evening meal with her before my very early flight. We kept in contact while I was away via WhatsApp and I was happy to see photos of Darcy relaxing in her usual favourite places. It was lovely to be welcomed back home after my holiday by a very well looked after dog and it was so nice that Elaine was here to welcome me and had the lamps on, flowers in vases and a meal in the oven. My house was clean and tidy and Darcy has enjoyed a week of lovely walks and neck scratches. I highly recommend Elaine as a completely reliable pet and house sitter and she is a lovely lady to chat to. I was so pleased that I got to know her.
Lori
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
Suzanne
Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.
Robert
Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!
Cheryl
Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.

Silent Paw Dog Spa
Recent Reviews:
Heather did an amazing job with her pet grooming services for our dog Rexy! She was very kind with him and put him at ease even though he’s not a big fan of bath time. I really liked that she came to our house because Rexy does not always do great when going out. She also informed us of some different foods and shampoos to use to help our dog with shedding. Will definitely be hiring Heather at Silent Paw Dog Spa again!
Heather from “Silent Paw Dog Spa” is amazing. My hyper dog is super calm when she works with him. She’s patient and does a wonderful job keeping him clean and unmatted. I trust her and recommend her highly. Manon
My boys love Heather! I have a 3yo Sheepadoodle and a 2yo Mini Australian Shepard (MAS). It's hard to find someone who can groom a MAS correctly. Heather does a fantastic job!
Heather does a great job with my temperamental Shih Tzu. She is great about communicating. She comes to your house so if your pet suffers from anxiety, this is great. I would definitely recommend her.
Heather at Silent Paws Dog Spa is amazing with my three Labs, even the newest puppy. It is so much more convenient for me that she comes to my house. Scheduling all the dogs for an appointment on the same day is also so much easier for me (and the dogs). The dogs look great and I think they feel better after their spa day. I highly recommend Silent Paws Dog Spa!
Heather is the best. So happy to get on her schedule again.
Heather is fantastic! We have an Aussie-doo and he is full of energy and tries to escape every groomer. Heather came over and took the time to get to know him play with him and had him groomed all the same time. We absolutely love Heather...and so does Oso! Having her come to our house made the whole thing so easy.
Heather does a beautiful job! She is kind, patient and loves her work, as do I ! My Lady was a stray I adopted about a month ago. She found Lady under all that fur! Thank you so much Heather!
Heather is absolutely amazing to work with! I've been using her for about 3 months now and she really knows what she's doing. She pays attention to my concerns, while also monitoring Kenya's behavior; is she scared, she getting tired of being handled, etc., and then takes the necessary steps to make sure we're all in a happy place. My dog is a rescue, with nerve damage and emotional scars, but does well in Heather's care.
Heather did amazing with our pup! She kept asking for exactly what we wanted and did everything I asked! She answered all of the questions I had and left me feeling more informed! I truly recommend her!

Hunter has done such an amazing job grooming my standard poodle, Russell!! He comes out with an extra skip in his step!! I would recommend her grooming to anyone!!!!!
Hunter and Porsche came highly recommended for grooming and I can see why! I brought my 8 year old shepherd here to be groomed and they did a fantastic job, she is nice and fluffy again and smells great. We will definitely continue to see them regularly for grooming and boarding if we ever need. Super friendly and such kind people here!
They are our go to place when we need to board our dog, Portia and her team are the best!
Love Teton Kennels they always do such a great job with my 🐶 pups.. Hunter is so good with my shy girl Mya and Jax looks so handsome every time. …
Amazing place to get your pet groomed or boarded. Very friendly and professional staff.
Wow! I Had no idea the versatility of this hidden gem. I brought my best buddy Vader (Pug Extraordinaire) He never likes getting his nails cut but was swept away and smiled the entire way through. I also watched a few customers dropping their dogs off and they were phenomenal with them as well. 🫶🏼💯 So happy to have found this place that cares so much for all of their pets clients and clients pets. Made my day for sure. Thank you all so much.. 💙
This was my first visit to Hunter to have our dog groomed. She did a fantastic job! Our dog is a little shy and she loved Hunter! Our dog looked fabulous! Can't wait to come back again.
We love Teton Kennels! Our big dogs are so happy and cared for while they are there. We just had all three groomed and they look (and smell) fabulous! Thank you for taking care of our pups, Teton Kennels - you are the best!
Hunter Sessions is an amazing groomer. Hunter groomed our 8 month old Golden Doodle for his first time and he was happy the whole time. He came back to us beautiful, clean, smelling wonderful and no trauma!! Thanks Hunter!
We were out of town for a week and boarded our five dogs (3 big dogs and 2 small dogs). This is the first time all of them have been boarded. I reserved two kennels due to number and duration. The price was great! The service was fantastic! Porsche and her family truly love your babies like their own. I even had my cocker spaniel groomed and my other small dogs nails trimmed while they were there, and Hunter does a great job! I highly recommend them for both boarding and grooming!
