Pet Sitters in Ada County, ID

Last year I had knee surgery and needed to find a way to tucker out my 1 year old energetic pup while I was in recovery. We were thinking about doing doggy day care, but the environment was stressful for him so he didn't play much and didn't get very much energy out. Chris & his services were amazingly helpful. Booking online through the website was super convenient and easy. After the initial consultation we had Chris take Mo out 4 or 5 times for hikes in the foothills. He came to the house to pick him up, sent GPS trail data so we can see where they went, sent photos, and dropped off a very tired and happy pup. Thanks Chris for being a part of my recovery team, your work was very helpful.

We've only been using Zen for about a month, but the services have been outstanding. Our dog fell in love with Chris immediately. When he arrives for her walks, she forgets who we are and races to be with him. And the photo updates are very reassuring. So glad we found Zen.

Chris with Zen Pet Cares is amazing! He truly is the dog whisperer. Chris is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and keeps pet health and safety his #1 priority. It is wonderful the services that Chris provides. Like when you have a family emergency and don't know what to do with your pets, which can add additional stress to the situation, Chris is there to help! Thank you Chris!

We simply cannot say enough positive things about our now 6+ years of working with Chris @ Zen. Chris is extremely friendly, professional and above all truly demonstrates love, care and appreciation for our dog. We enjoy the outing/route summaries he sends including pictures on their many walks. My wife and I always joke that our dog loves spending time with Chris moreso than with us.....but it's likely not a joke at all. We highly, highly recommend Zen.

Zen Pet Care Services offers the best dog walking in Boise let alone Idaho. Chris and his team of professionals provide exceptional care and love for every dog they walk. 5/5 stars, would recommend to anyone who loves their furry friend.

Chris is an amazing guy. He takes excellent care of his clients. The dogs always seem happy when he drops them off, due to the love and kindness he shows the dogs.

Zen Pet Care is the BEST!! You won’t meet a company that cares for your animals more than them. My two dogs love going on adventures with them and go crazy when they see the van pull up, which makes me so happy. Safe, kind, considerate….😁 …

Chris is an amazing guy he takes good care of all of his clients. The dogs are very happy due to the kindness and love he show to the dogs

They've watched my dog over the past two years. I trust them, and have a high degree of comfort with them. They pick him up in the morning and bring him back in the afternoon safe and clean.

Thanks for your review Gregory Fitzmaurice. We are so happy that you had a good experience with us.

Our senior dog had contracted kennel cough at a local boarding facility so we looked at alternatives for our vacation two years ago for mine and my brothers mellow senior doggies. Christina took excellent care of them both with regular updates and pictures. Both the dogs and the humans had a much better experience. Unfortunately our dog had passed this year, but we just recently adopted a two year old border collie mix and were lucky enough for Christina to be available to watch him while we were on vacation. He initially exhibited a lot of separation anxiety, but Christina and her family were able to love him through it. Christina takes as good (or better) care of my baby as I do. I'm super appreciative of the communication and pictures as it made my vacation even more enjoyable. You won't find anyone who provides better care for you fur baby. The pictures are only a few that Christina shared while pet sitting.

I'm so thankful I came across Christina to take such great care of my fur baby while I was away. My girl was given so much love and care, and the peace of mind that your dog is in great hands is PRICELESS. Christina also sends pics and updates daily. Highly recommend 👍 …

We highly recommend Christina as a pet sitter. She does an amazing job caring for our fur babies and it took no time for her to win over our picky cats. She sends us photos and videos daily so we can see how they are doing while we are away, which I love. She also handles our house-sitting needs — and all for a very reasonable price! We have had some bad experiences with other sitters in the past, but never with Christina - our cats are always happy and settled when we get home. That says a lot about their care.

My dog has never been more excited to go to a pet sitting service. We have done both doggie daycare and boarding with Christina. She is careful to follow your pet’s instructions and even gives my dog a bath for longer stays. Can’t say enough good things about Christina’s pet service.

I've been extremely fortunate to have found Christina's Pet Sitting! Christina and her family have been a second family to my girls (my dogs), Kami and June. When I have to travel, it is so relieving to be taking my puppies to stay with a wonderful family with whom my dogs love to spend time. During their stay at Christina's, my dogs get an in-home experience very similar to what they have when at home, receiving a ton of love and attention nearly all day long! And Christina sends photos to me of what they are doing throughout the time they are with her. Christina's is a very positive experience for my puppies, exhibited by vastly different behavioral responses than those following a kennel stay. I recommend Christina's Pet Sitting to all dog owners who love their dogs without end!💞

We were very happy with Christina's service and highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! Christina was able to accommodate us on short notice for 4th of July weekend. She took great care of our three critters and even sent pictures throughout the weekend. We appreciated that our animals could stay home where they're comfortable too. Thank you Christina!

I went on vacation for two weeks and Christina did the pet sitting while I was away. it was the first time I had use Christina and she was tentative and gave me comfort that my two cats would be taken care of. While I was away she text me daily updates along with pics of boys in how they were doing. Giving me comfort where I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were be taken care. Highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting and she will be mine pet sitter now on. It is very evident that she loves animals and has a passion in what she does. She did a superb job for me and 5 star service!

Christina does an amazing job taking care of our kitties! We had two separate occasions last summer of around a week and a half a time away that she was able to check on our fur babies! We always got great pictures and updates. She did an awesome job keeping everything clean, bringing in the mail, watering plants, and even setting out our garbage cans! She was even available to check in on them for a few short days while I was having surgery! Thanks Christina!

Christina has been pet sitting for us for about a year. SHE IS WONDERFUL!!! Our kitties like her and she's always keeping us updated with texts, pictures, and videos on how our pets are doing. Hopefully, she will be around for a very long time so we'll always have someone responsible to take care of our kitties. I can't thank her enough for what she does for our family! (Thank you again, Christina!!!)

Christina is AMAZING! I found her last minute and she was able to take care of our dog for a few days while we were out on a trip. I liked that she would send us daily updates on our dog with pictures! Hands down preferred having our dog in her own space versus being boarded in a kennel. Christina not only did a wonderful job of taking care of our dog, but she also was kind enough to bring our trash cans up from the curb and bring in our mail. Just little things like that is huge and definitely appreciated! Will be using her in the future and will definitely recommend her to others! 😊

Annie and Dave's Pet Boarding is like a home away from home for our dog. Annie and Dave are reliable, responsive, and caring towards the pet owners and the pets. While we are away on vacation we have great peace of mind knowing that our dog is well taken care of. We had a last minute change of plans on our last vacation, that lengthened our trip by two days. Annie and Dave were able to care for our dog for the extra days, no questions asked, which was amazing. We love Annie and Dave's Pet Boarding for our fur baby and we highly recommend them!

Annie and Dave are amazing! We went out of town for a week and I felt at peace knowing that our cat was being well taken care of. They post updates to their Facebook, so I was able to check in! They are super responsive to text, and their prices are very reasonable. I knew they had a magic touch when they were able to get our super shy cat to come out of her crate and bond with them. I 100% recommend!

I work from home so my one year old pups are with me day and night. When my stepdaughter announced she was getting married almost 8000 miles away, my anxiety set in about where to take my dogs. I found Annie and Dave and found them to be exactly what I was looking for so they wouldn’t be crated and left alone all day! I was able to enjoy our time away with no stress and see pics of them enjoying playing with all the other dogs as well as the price being very reasonable for 3 dogs. I also appreciate that they have everything for them so you aren’t lugging a ton of stuff with you, just dogs, leashes, and food! Would highly recommend. We will definitely be back when we travel again (if Dave allows my terrible twosome beagles to come back 😂). Pic of the aftermath of 10 days at “summer camp”

Annie & Dave are the best. I was so nervous about leaving my puppy Kiki with anyone because she has always been with me since she was like 8 weeks old. We had to travel out of state for a week and this was her first time being away from home for a while. When we did a meet and greet with Annie and Dave, Kiki warmed up to Dave right away. The day I had to drop her off, I took her blanket and favorite toy, Dave said she wouldn't need them. He was so right, so did so well being somewhere different. I was so happy. I would totally recommend them if you need your best friend taken care of while you have to be away. Thank you for everything.

Our 5 month old puppy stayed there for 2 nights. This was the first time we left our dog in the care of someone else and we were very happy with the care he received. We were able to see pics of him at play, while we were out of town. We will definitely use Annie and Dave's again!

Our dog had a great time On her first visit. They were very patient with her since she was stressed after a busy summer of moving to Idaho and staying at lots of hotels. She did great at her first weekend getaway with them. Love that they share photos of her time there.

They were so communicative! Our pup had such a great time as you can see!!!! We will be using them when we visit here in Idaho!

Doesn’t return calls/voicemails. Called to discuss boarding for my two dogs as a new resident, left message, and never heard back from them. Update: if I didn’t have the correct number, I couldn’t have left voicemail for “Annie and Dave’s pet boarding.”

Annie & Dave were fantastic to deal with. They took great care of Gracie and sent us pictures during our trip. I highly recommend them.

Great couple highly recommended. They sent us pictures and videos daily as requested. We appreciated it so much and already booked their next stay in 6 weeks. Thank you!

My dog has been going to companions for 4 years. She absolutely loves going there! The staff is amazing and she can hardly wait to get out of the car when we arrive. Today, she was awarded a leadership award! Could this be any sweeter???? Thank you companions for loving Fiona as much as we do ❤️

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about companions dog resort, Connie and the entire staff!! We have been boarding our dog here while traveling for the past year and there is nothing like knowing your furry family member is in the best care and HAPPY! Our dog leaps out of the car when we pull in and loves every staff member. We have had a busy couple months with some home damage, pregnancy, and being in a different state and Connie has been extraordinary in making us boarding our puppy feel easy and safe. We know he is in the best care and I just don’t think there is anything more you can ask for when boarding your dog. I highly recommend companions!! We love them!!

Our dog Rocky has visited Companions for 12 years. He is 13,5 now. This is fabulous place to drop off your pet. Connie and the team (the staff are awesome!!!) do an amazing job at care and shelter. Frankly, we have had trepidation as he aged and remain confident when we drop him off that the team gives him the love we would share ourselves, and the care he deserves. This place is the best in the Valley! Well worth it. Malcolm S.

Companions has been a safe and happy place for our dogs for the past 15 years. During this time, Connie and her staff have exceeded our expectations caring for our young and senior dogs. Two things stay consistent: the dogs are excited when we turn into the Companions driveway and happy and tired when they’re picked up.

We have boarded both our senior dogs here for over 3 years. I am so impressed with the cleanliness, the outdoor play areas never have any dirty ‘potty’ areas. The reception area is spotless and smells good. Not like a disinfectant odor, just good and clean. Our dogs are happy to go off to their kennels. And the staff!! Every staff member I’ve met seems genuinely happy to be there. They help you get your dogs to the car if needed. Without being asked! This kennel is run to the highest standards. The owner is a blessing. I was a vet tech for over 18 years, and I’ve seen places I’d never leave any creature at. I have complete confidence in Companions Pet Resort.

October absolutely loves Companions! Not only has the amazing staff have helped him open up and become more comfortable in social environments, but they also have been so communicative to me and how October has been doing! I can tell just from the dropping off and picking up interactions that they genuinely care about my dog, along with every other dog! They are trustworthy, reliable, and friendly to both the dogs and their families. I would 100% recommend Companions Dog Resort to anyone who has been looking for a great place to send your pup for daycare!

Connie and her staff are amazing! I promise you will not find a more friendly or attentive staff to watch over your beloved furry family member than the employees at Companions Dog Resort. When I drop off our pup, she runs to the staff as if they are her best friend. Peace of mind is all we have when we drop off our girl. She always has the time of her life and can't wait to come back another day to play with her pals! The best day care and boarding, paws down!!

My cocker spaniels have been going to Companions Dog Resort since last November. They are excited to go & so calm when I pick them up. They have stayed mostly as boarders but we have done some drop-in daycare. Connie & her staff are so helpful & are just amazingly interactive with the dogs in their charge. I know my pups are in great hands!

We love taking our dog Sadie to Companions! She is a high energy Brittany pup and she always comes home happy and tired! The only thing I wish they offered was some sort of photo or video updates for while your dog is in their care. We would 100% recommend companions to anyone looking for daycare or boarding.

The staff at Companions are always friendly and kind. We have gone to Companions for boarding and day care and our aussiedoodle is always happy to go and play. The facilities are clean and well kept. Special shout out to Devry who provides grooming through Companions. She is very talented and our doggie always get the best haircuts. I highly recommend this place for your pup!

My 2 German shepherds love going to Escape to see their dog and human buddies. Logan is going daily since he was a puppy for now almost 5 years, Koda almost 2 years.

Our 11 mo. Old Siberian Husky needed to learn to be around other dogs and people. Plus just taking her for a walk, wasn't giving her enough exercise. The staff is awesome, they love their job and it shows. Plus they have a app, so you can watch your dog.

Our pup Winter says she's having the time of her life at the Boise Escape the Crate. Staff have been great. Thanks for everything, Jessie! Below photo is after a day at daycare.

Escape the crate was a great find for me. I needed several nights of boarding for my two small dogs and Escape the Crate was accommodating and professional in helping me arrange it over the phone. I was especially impressed that I was offered a tour of the facilities when I arrived. I’ve boarded dogs in various places for 25 years and that was first time any facility wanted to show me where my dogs would be spending their time. I felt confident leaving them there and they were happy and calm when I picked them up. I didn’t get to watch them on the group daycare camera because I was remote camping (no signal), but I love that Escape had it available. Highly recommend.

We’ve been coming here for years and it has always been a great experience. My dog is very high anxiety but everyone at Escape the Crate has done a great job of helping build out her confidence.

We’ve been to several doggy daycare facilities over the years with our dogs but Escape the Crate really stands out. Haley and Jesse have been wonderful- answering questions and helping ensure that our energetic rescue beagle is able to play, socialize and run out her puppy energy in a clean and safe environment. Lulu now has regular playtime with other similarly energetic dogs and is confident and better socialized. And when I have an extra busy day and can’t devote as much time to her play and exercise, I know we can visit Escape the Crate where she’ll have much more fun than waiting for my meeting to end. And lastly, I love that they’re easy to schedule and have cameras so I can watch her antics during the day. Thank you to our friends at Escape the Crate!

They’ve been great with my variety pack. We have a Border Collie that has come to love seeing the staff, a 3 legged old man that enjoys the human companionship, and a lab puppy that gets excited to see them. We really appreciate as fur parents the care and attention our babies are given.

We love this place for our baby Gunner. He is happy when we drop him off and gets to play with his friends! The staff is amazing and Truly dog lovers and Hailey the office manager is so professional, organized and our sweet boy just loves her!

Extremely unprofessional. Boarded my dogs for four nights and scheduled to pick them on Memorial Day. One thing they did not mention was that there was nobody working on Memorial Day. We arrived around 1 p.m. get our dogs and there was nobody at the facility. This was very surprising, especially considering that escape the crate texted me asking if I wanted to pay $50 to get my dogs bathed that day. Never boarding my dogs here again and I would recommend to anyone else. I really don’t appreciate a business that isn’t straightforward and honest. Definitely would not recommend.

Our dog Jameson absolutely LOVES going to Escape the Crate! She gets so excited when we even mention "daycare" The staff takes excellent care of her while we're working. I would highly recommend Escape the Crate! Emma is fantastic!

Richard has been pet sitting for our cat over the last several years. He’s absolutely dependable, competent , honest, and caring. The whole family loves Richard. He is a sole proprietor, so no need to worry about random employees coming into your house. When we come home from vacation our cat is happy and adjusted, and the house is tidy clean. You will not find a better pet sitter than Richard!

Our kitty is very social and doesn’t do well if she is left alone more than a few days. We had to go out of town and came across Richard. He very obviously adores cats and he took excellent care of our sweet girl. He sent us pictures every day we were gone. We’ll definitely use him again in the future!

Richard was an absolute pleasure to work with! He is very professional, and he took amazing care of our cat! He even will offer to send you daily updates, which was a great addition. I recommend KittyCare to anyone who wants to know their cat will be in great care when they are gone!

I just moved to Boise and as my husband and I were planning a trip, needed to locate some excellent kitty care. Life smiled on us when Richard responded to my request for additional information. He came by twice before our trip for a good hour each time so he could understand what our two cats needed. One is 15 and takes medicine twice a day. He wanted to ensure he knew the requirements. Our trip went great with no worries. Richard let us know every other day, at our request, how everything was; he sent pictures. He made friends with our pets. I highly recommend Richard for his caring personality, responsible service provision, and his follow up after we returned. His fees are very reasonable. We will definitely ask him again! Without reservations I give him an A+!

Richard was fantastic. We were out of town for over a month and he took great care of our two cats. Every time he visited he would send pics with little narratives. His prices were reasonable, and he is very personable. We'll definitely hire him again.

Richard took great care of my two cats. He is very responsive when I had a question, and provided me updates when he visited my cats. I can’t recommend him enough for all of your cat care needs! I’ll definitely be asking Richard to take care of my cats when I travel again.

Friendly, professional and caring. Richard is by far the best in town. He was there when my family needed a reliable source to care for our fur babies. He gave us peace of mind. He did exactly what he said he was going to do when he said he would. On time everytime. Perfect communication with pictures and updates. This is your go to guy. If I could give more stars I would!

Richard was excellent, and our cats were treated very well. My girlfriend and I left town for about a week, but our trip started off horribly. We got stuck at the airport for 10 hrs and our flight ultimately got canceled. We ended up scrambling and finding another flight the next day. During the whole process, Richard was flexible and very easy to work with. With the stress of dealing with canceled flights and changed plans, it was very nice to know that no matter what our cats would be I'm good hands. Richard is a great guy, he loves being around cats, and he will treat your cat(s) like royalty. I would certainly recommend Richard to anyone I know, and we will be calling him the next time we go out of town.

Richard has been taking care of my cat for a few trips now. I have been impressed with him from the start. He responded to my initial call in a timely manner, conducted a thorough interview at my apartment and of course took excellent care of my cat. I would recommend him to anyone and I have already scheduled my next trip and will utilize Richards services.

Richard is the most professional pet sitter in all of Boise! He is thoughtful of his clients by sending pictures and texting updates, He goes above and beyond with focused consideration on the pet’s health and welfare. We would highly recommend his services. Laura and Bebe

I have a fairly reactive dog that has had nightmarish experiences with boarding. The staff at Camp Bow Wow Meridian were extremely professional and pleasant. They appropriately acclimated her to the environment during our interview and gave in depth details as to how dogs are cared for. There is constant monitoring of all dogs in both indoor and outdoor yards. My dog had never been happier. Both the facility and staff are top notch. Highly recommend. You won’t find a better place. Sammy thanks all of you!

Have been bringing my puppy here ever since he was able to with age requirements! He absolutely loves coming here. When we pull up he is practically jumping out of the car to get inside! The staff is wonderful and is always friendly and catering to you and your pets needs. Thank you Camp Bow Wow!

I was completely satisfied with the experience my dog, Cooper, had at your doggy daycare. From start to finish, the entire experience was fantastic, and I couldn't be more pleased. Every staff member I encountered was professional, friendly, and clearly had a genuine love for dogs. Whether it was the warm greeting when I dropped Cooper off, or the kind reception when I picked him up, it was clear that your team enjoys what they do. Thank you for providing such a positive and caring environment for Cooper. The peace of mind I get from knowing Cooper will be in your daycare is simply immeasurable. I look forward to bringing him back in the near future.

We’ve been super happy with camp bow wow! We were using another doggie daycare for awhile but once they had switched owners, communication went downhill so we decided to make a change. Waylon loves coming to camp (: He is always pooped and ready for bed by the time we get home. 100% recommend!

Camp Bow Wow is the best doggie day care. My dog Alabama comes home happy. The cameras are awesome. I can watch my pup while she's playing all day.

Our first experience here was great. However, I recently boarded my dog at Camp Bow Wow, and unfortunately, I had a concerning experience. When I went to pick up my dog, they initially gave me the wrong one, explaining it away by saying there were a lot of golden retrievers that day. While I understand mistakes can happen, this made me very uneasy about their attention to detail. I raised my concern about the possibility of them giving my dog to someone else, but I didn’t feel reassured by their response. This experience has left me feeling uncomfortable, and I will never leave my dog with them again. A kennel needs to give pet owners peace of mind, and unfortunately, I didn’t get that from Camp Bow Wow.

Our dog, Moose, absolutely loves the staff and the amount of socialization he gets. Hes always so happy to go and so happy to see us when we pick him up. We asked to have his nails trimmed and the staff said he sat like an angel. I inspected his nails when we got home and they looked great. No complaints. I have zero concerns when we drop him off- if you arent sure, watch the free cameras they provide online and see for yourself! Thank you Camp Bow Wow-Meridian for treating our Moose so well.

We (mostly our dog Maxx) LOVE Camp Bow Wow!! Everyone is always so nice and we never worry about leaving him there. We can watch him on camera at any time. We looked at a few places and Camp Bow Wow is the best. Highly recommend!

Dublin loves it here. The enrichment activities are so fun! He comes home with art projects and pictures. And the best is that he is worn out at the end of the day from playing. The counselors genuinely love dogs.

Simply the Best! I truly adore the staff at this Camp Bow Wow. I have been taking my dog there for 5 years. The kindness and care that CBW provides to my dog is beyond amazing. Recently, with very short notice, CBW provided a “home” for my dog for 4 weeks while I cared for my daughter who was in the hospital out of state. Every day, I watched the cameras to see my dog running around and happy 😊. Every time I called to talk with staff about my dog, they were so friendly and supportive of my situation and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. CBW certainly made my dog part of the family and me feel better during the long separation. Thank you 🙏

Boise Kennels has been Behr’s home away from home for many many years. When I need to travel, I know he’s in excellent hands there . The staff really cares about Behr. They communicate well if he has an issue which gives me peace of mind. Recently Behr shredded his dog bed and instead of letting him sleep on the ground (which is challenging for him and his aging joints), they let him use a dog bed that they had on hand. I was so relieved and Behr came home with a spring in his step, no worse for wear since he didn’t have to sleep on the ground. I really can’t say enough great things about Boise Kennels…they’ve awesome.

The folks at Boise kennels do a great service to our community. Where else would I go when our dog Wally needed reassurance and care during his stay at Boise kennels over the July 4 holiday? Fireworks are scary for him, but he made it through, and didn’t hold a grudge when we were reunited. I think maybe he had more fun than we did on our short trip away! Thanks, Boise Kennels Team!! We’ll be back!! Rebecca and “Wally”🐾🐾 PS Wally got a summer hair cut soon after our BK visit..see photo!!

My dog Rosie can sometimes have a hard time being away from me when I travel. Boise Kennels is a great place for her because she gets the love and attention she needs. Everyone is very friendly and the staff is amazing! Such an amazing place to take your pet!

Update to my previous review! Even happier with Boise Kennels after boarding Bodhi for a few days! Excellent experience from start to finish! The staff is exceptional. They were friendly and informative which helps when trusting a new facility. Love the extras that can be added each day—snuffle mat, extra playtime and even a bath. The app and photos are fabulous! I will definitely return anytime I am in Boise.

Boise Kennels is very personable and takes very good care of my dog. I never worry that she won't be taken care of in a meaningful way, the staff is caring and always excited to see my baby Quin!

Our pup loves coming here for her vacation. She gets lots of attention in the yard and we get daily pics, which we love because we can read the expression on her face to know how she’s feeling. I also like that they don’t have a huge staff turnover and they know our pups by name. I can’t say enough good things about Boise Kennels.

We have sent our dogs to Boise Kennels for fifteen years now and have never had a problem. The facility continues to improve, the staff genuinely care about our dogs, and we love the additional care options available for purchase (one-on-one play, treats, snuggles, etc) and daily photo updates while we’re away.

I've used Boise Kennels for several years, and have had fantastic experiences with them watching my 2 dogs. I would definitely recommend them.

Our dogs Mako a King Corso mix is a large vocal dog. The staff was wonderful with him. Other kennels denied him because he’s vocal but Boise Kennels took great care of him and new exactly who to handle him and our Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (Lucy). They sent photos and updates while we were gone which really helped our peace of mind. Great place!!!

They took good care of our babies. They sent pictures to update us and allowed us to visit while they were boarded. We would use them again should we require boarding services in Boise again.
