“Kimberly was such an amazing friend for Skye over the weekend. Absolutely booking her again next time we are out of town! Definitely highly recommend for your furry family.”
“Kimberly did an excellent job! I hired her to do four 30-minute drop-in visits at my home over 1 1/2 days while I was out of town. I have two dogs. Through the Rover app, I received texts from her of when she arrived, when she left, and photos and comments of her visits. She played ball fetch with them and kept them very happy. I definitely will recommend Kimberly to my family, friends and neighbors.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a home full of happy paws and shells—currently sharing my life with 3 playful cats, 2 lovable dogs, and one very chill turtle. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and truly believe they are family. My passion for animals runs deep, and I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your pets while you’re away. Whether you’re on vacation or just need a helping hand, I’m here to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. Creating a safe, happy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their families is my top priority! Lets set up a meet and greet with your fur babies ❤️🐶 I work full-time from 8-5. I’m always happy to accommodate early morning or evening drop-in visits before or after work, I just need prior communication. I’m committed to providing reliable and loving care for your pets around my schedule. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with specific dates or times you have in mind—I’ll do my best to work with your needs and ensure your pets are well cared for while you’re away. Creating a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment for my pets is always my top priority. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home where each animal has their own comfortable space to relax and feel secure. Safety comes first—I ensure all areas are free of hazards, food and water are always fresh, and routines are followed consistently to reduce stress. Trust is built through gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and daily one-on-one attention, so each pet feels valued and understood. I stay attuned to their individual needs and personalities, always observing for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to create a calm, loving atmosphere where every pet can thrive, feel safe, and truly be part of the family.
About: Hi I’m Madison! I love animals and have dog sat on multiple occasions for elderly and young dogs. I’d love to take care of your animals in exchange for the happiness I’ll get from walking and interacting with them! I have pretty open availability at the moment. I can pop in a couple times during the week or stay longer if needed. I do have animals at home so extended days will need to be talked about. I would love to take your dog to a dog park or a nearby trail to get some extra energy out during my stay if wanted!
About: Growing up I’ve always had multiple dogs. I was the one always responsible for feeding and taking care of them. I’ve always loved being around dogs and cats and being able to take care of them! I don’t currently have a full time job! I am between semesters in college so I’m just trying to pick up some side jobs to make some money! My home is in the south side of Nampa with a love of farm land surrounding. I have two labs that are very energetic and love going on walks. We go almost every morning and night. There is a nice 1 mile walk path that we talk that is super pretty and right next to my house. In a clients home I would be respectful to their home and follow what ever guidelines they set for me in regards to taking care of their pets and/or home
About: For more than 40 years, I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats of my own. After my last Boxer passed away in 2022, I found a new way to share that love by caring for—and spoiling—the pets of others. I’ve provided excellent pet- and housesitting services on TrustedHousesitters in the Boise area for the past year, earning 20 five-star reviews. Many of my sits have been with repeat hosts, which reflects the trust and dependable care I provide. My experience includes dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and even beetles. Before moving to Boise, I spent 14 years fostering dogs and providing pet-sitting services in the Atlanta area. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to follow instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and affection. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked as a project manager in the technology industry. As I transition into a more personally fulfilling career, I’m excited to devote more time to animals and give your pets the same thoughtful, reliable care I would want for my own. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and thoroughly spoiled while you’re away. I currently work full-time as a pet sitter, so caring for pets is my primary focus. I’m able to organize my schedule around each client’s needs and your pet’s established routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and night, including 24/7 overnight care, and I’ll work with you to create a dependable schedule that helps your pet feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a strong focus on safety, trust, and consistency. I carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet’s individual needs, routines, feeding schedules, medications, and preferences are respected. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, taking them on a walk, or enjoying outdoor exercise together, I remain attentive to their surroundings and comfort. I take safety precautions during every visit and activity so your pet can feel secure and relaxed in your absence. You can count on me to provide dependable, thoughtful care while treating your home and your pet with the same respect I would expect for my own.

Kimberly took great care of the family and home I left behind while I took some time away. Last minute as all my other helpers all fell through. My pets were loved and fed and watered in my home twice daily and she kept me from having a nervous breakdown being away from them. Thank you so much Kimberly! We will be asking for your assistance again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
