The nation's largest network of 5-star pet sitters and dog walkers

At Percy's Playhouse, your pet will be cared for as if they are our own and monitored at all times. My location is very close to walking paths, including dog off leash paths if you're comfortable with it. We love to go to Camelsback Park when we can. The benefit of Percy's Playhouse is the location, not the apartment, although, dogs are welcome to stay as long as they need to and sleep and play in most of the apartment. I do work full time but I am available on nights and weekends most of the time. If your pet does stay with Percy and I during the week, I will make sure to come home during lunch to let the dogs out, and make sure they get a walk in before I had to go back to work. A typical day for us is a walk first thing in the morning, breakfast, and then the rest is up to them! Come and join us!

I love all animals but I'm especially a dog person. I love all breeds (including pit bulls!) and have experience with dogs of all sizes such as Pomeranian/Yorker mixes to English Bull mastiffs. I understand and enjoy catering to the different needs of any animal because they are all unique. I also have experience with elderly dogs and cats that have to take medications more than once on a daily basis. I have no allergies and an immense level of patience. My favorite kind of animals are the ones that never seem to run out of energy and I know how exhausting raising breeds like golden retrievers or blue healers can be considering they need to be walked usually more than once a day.

When I was two years old, I was attacked by a Dalmatian.
My mother tells the story as us walking through the neighborhood, like always, saying hello to the neighbors, and greeting the dogs and children as they came along. The neighbor with the Dalmatians always let us say hi, and we never had an issue with said dogs. For some reason, on this day, the brown spotted Dali nipped me through the lip, either because I got too close, or he felt uncomfortable about our greeting...but the next week was the same routine, and my comfortably with dogs didn't change. I still waved hello and goodbye, but I never forgot, after that, to ask permission to pet a dog.

I am an extreme dog person. To the point where getting bit does not change my views. After many volunteer gigs at shelters, dog sitting, visiting friends and families', and having my own, I know that deep down to the core, dogs want to please you, and any subsequent acts of violence are a communication style that you need to help them adjust to life without. I am the person that stays over at a friend's house, and takes their German Short Hair for a run at 6:45 in the morning. I am the annoying person in a group of friends that stops and asks for permission to pet your dogs. I am the person that will work from my bed all day just to snuggle with a pup.

I grew up with Beagles, which most people know as an obnoxious breed. However, I stand behind them as some of the most intelligent, athletic, and loyal animals I have ever come across. They have been a family breed for us in at least three generations; where their love has contributed greatly to my need to be around animals at all times, however challenging they may have been.

My aunts on each side of the family have stories of my obsession with dogs, ranging everywhere from tying myself on rollerblades to a young, Standard American Terrier, rolling through town at age seven, to hanging out in the kennel of my older cousin's very aggressive wolf/shepherd mix, because I thought he needed some love.

Currently, I am not in a position where I feel comfortable enough having my own dog, which is why I want to help others take care of theirs. I work from home, so the opportunity to take care of an animal while I do that is ideal. I don't have a roommate, or any other pets at the moment, so this is really a great time for me to start introducing regular animal clients to my home.

I am a Boise native who has recently moved back after graduating from college with a degree in Natural Resources with a Minor in Captive Wildlife. I enjoy Boise and the outdoors and want to start a business where my love of the outdoors and animals come together. I love working with animals of all shapes, sizes, and species. As a child, I grew up with rats, beta fish, cats, dogs, and I even took horseback riding lessons.
I have worked at several humane societies, but feel I received the best training at Human Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) in Wisconsin. I was trained on how to properly handle dogs, socialization and exercise. I was also trained on how to pick up and socialize rabbits.
My miniature dachshund recently passed away and my living situation does not allow me to have a pet. Therefore, starting this business will fill the gap in my heart as well as help you, in your busy lives, give the gift of health and welfare to your animals when you are unable to. I will give your animal the love and care that I gave my animals so they will feel right at home.
My education in college has been focused on animals and their care. I am flexible and willing to give your pet the best comfort and stability while you are away or if they just need a daily change in environment. I can help with minor hygiene, such as bathing, brushing, some nail clipping, and home recommended teeth cleaning.
By owning my own car, I have the flexibility to work with your pet in your home, take them out for adventures or any appointments they may have. I feel it is important to walk your dog(s) where they are most comfortable, which could include the foothills, the greenbelt, visit dog-friendly parks, or your neighborhood.

Hi, my name is Tracie and I look forward to spending time with your fur baby. I have always been an animal person and have had cats and dogs my whole adult life and for some of my childhood. Pets are like children to me, so you can be assured that your baby will get all the love and attention it deserves.

I enjoy being outdoors, especially in the warmer months, so taking your dog on walks and playing outside will be something to look forward to. They can also look forward to some sort of special treat on my visits; of course all treats will be cleared by you first in case of any allergies or preferences.

I also love cats and cuddling with them so I'm more then willing to check up on them as well.

Hello! I am a 46 year old woman who loves animals, and have had pets all of my life, mostly dogs and cats. Animals are intelligent, social, and emotional beings, and I make sure to respect this. I like to read, watch movies, and take walks in nature. And I love to snuggle if your pet enjoys that! I will be working on an online school program, so I have the flexibility and time to care for your home and pets. I am mature, responsible, and can do all the things needed to keep your home in good order while you are away. I can water your plants, take in your mail, make sure the trash and recycling get out on time, and anything else you need. I am happy to send pictures and updates of your pets if you would like. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you are away, and to ensure that your home, and your pets, are in great shape when you return!

I am an animal lover. I have had pets my entire life. I have 2 dogs (Chihuahuas) and a cat right now. They all get along well with each other and I also have a 3 year old grandson that lives with me and loves to be near the pets. He also has a pet rabbit. I have a fully fenced back yard, which animals will have full access to. I prefer to have non-aggressive dogs, that will get along well with other animals and be safe to have around small children. I am also more than happy to board cats if needed. Pets that are not potty trained will need to stay in the back yard during their stay. They, however, will not be isolated at all.

I will care for your family as if they were mine.
We will have a fabulous time while you are away.
I am fun, friendly, energetic, and responsible.

I have spent 43 years with all types of animals. Your baby will be in the best hands.
Safe vehicle, single story home, doggie door (lockable if needed), big yard, safe neighborhood.
This is what I do. If you want, I will care for your child in your home, and I will care for your home with diligence.

Why leave your dog at a large daycare/boarding when he can have me and my dog all to him/herself for playtime!?

I have owned dogs my whole life and currently have a male, neutered, Pointer/Heeler mix who is about 2 years old. He is friendly with all people and dogs and very well-socialized but definitely still has a lot of puppy energy during play time. He likes to play with the bigger dogs and understands that the little ones need their space sometimes.

I have experience taking care of several dogs, from the laziest 4-pound lap-lovers to the 90-pound mud-rolling, pool-loving, face-licking, balls of energy.

When you leave your dog with me, I can accommodate any playtime, exercise, or downtime needs. Activities can include trips to our neighborhood park for fresh air, the Roosevelt or Meridian dog park, long walks on local foothill trails or the Greenbelt (we have close access to both), tennis ball time at the local park, trips to the Boise River, hanging out in our fenced-in backyard, belly scratches, or sunlight snoozes.

My background includes taking care of my own dogs (have owned two Yorkshire Terriers in the past), and in-home overnight boarding for small to large breeds both adult and senior. I am available for walks, doggie day care, checkups, or overnight boarding either in my home or yours. My full-time work gig is remote from home with a occasional part-time retail duties a few days a week, so I can be pretty flexible with my times. If I do need to leave to work for a half-day or run other errands without the dogs, they hang out in our large upstairs laundry room or can have free range of the house, depending on the dog. If I have to work a longer day away from home the dogs come with me or my husband stays home with them.

I prefer not to book more than 3 weeks out in advance due to the release of my retail work schedule being only two weeks ahead of time. I don't like to commit to watching a dog if I know I might be gone from the house a lot during the stay. I require visiting puppies to be housebroken (though I know accidents can happen! - not a big deal!). I also require meet and greets with any male dogs prior to boarding in order to evaluate any potential dominance issues. My dog tends to take after the behavior and personality of visiting dogs, so mellow = mellow and energy = energy.

**About me**
I am a dog loving fool. I have been as long as I can remember. I work at a restaurant downtown so my hours are short. I think of all of my pets as family members. I got my dog I have now when I was still in college and now he is the best dog I've ever owned. He is the sweetest golden retriever and he is a very spoiled boy. I live with my boyfriend and he also shares a great fondness for dogs just like me. We love to take out our dog, Easton, any chance we get, even if it is snowing or raining. Easton loves the snow so we especially like to take him out when that happens. I have been around dogs my whole life. In fact I can't remember a time that me or my family hasn't owned a dog. They truly are the best companions. Easton is the second dog I have raised and trained by myself. I can't ever see myself without having a dog.

**About my home**
I am renting out my grandmas mobile home in a very quiet neighborhood. My house is small but has everything a dog needs; dog beds, toys, couches to lay on, access to water, and a playmate. The backyard is not very big and doesn't have grass but that part doesn't treaty matter because I love going for walks and runs and, again, they would have a playmate to stay with. I live a very active lifestyle and your pet would not miss out on any of it.

**About my neighborhood**
I live in a neighborhood that is very quiet and mostly retired elderly folks. We live right next to East junior high which has a huge open space that is perfect for throwing the ball around and playing. We also live very close to the Boise river and the foothills so access the the green belt is very easy and access to paths in the foothills are almost in our backyard.

**What to expect**
Your pet will enjoy going to the Boise river to go for swims and chase sticks or balls. I am also a big cuddle bug and they will have full couch access to lay with me. We have access to the green belt and East junior high for either runs or throwing the ball.

**Special rules or requests**
It would be much easier to have me pick up your pet because my home is confusing to find for people. I also strongly suggest a meet and greet because Easton can be uneasy of certain dogs, just as any dog would be or human for that matter.
