“Allison sent us pictures of our sweet girl while we were away, and ensured she was never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. She was even able to come over a few hours early the day we left so that our sweet girl didn't need to be alone right after we left. She stayed at our house for the week, and took great care of her while we were away. It was so reassuring to know she was in such good care while we were gone.”
About: Just a girl looking to spend time with some cute dogs and earn a little extra cash, love to spend free time taking care of dogs and making their day enjoyable, willing to learn / accommodate any specific needs for any animal. Sightseeing available upon request. Would love to get to know all the things your pet likes and dislikes to make their time spent a good one. All dogs of all ages welcome, experience with puppies with loads of energy and many dogs that may be older and slower. No matter the size big or small each adventure will be fit to your own dogs needs and wants. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones in the near future, thank you I’m currently working and my schedule varies so I’m mostly available for drop in/walks throughout the week and more available for overnight stays over the weekends but I’m open to what you may need. I currently share an apartment with two cats that are only comfortable with each other so I’m unfortunately unable to bring any cats in for an overnight stay but can go to you instead. They don’t have much experience with dogs but if yours is friendly we can work something out.
“This woman is an incredible dog walker and person. Immediately felt comfortable with her after meeting and the animals LOVE her. Polite, progressional, empathetic and an animal lover. Would recommend to any pet owner for dog walking or house sitting.”
“Daniel took AMAZING care of my pets and my home!! I have chickens, an indoor cat, & a 12 month old Great Pyrenees, who is pretty difficult. He is either high strung or napping… there’s no middle ground. Daniel’s calm demeanor was just what was needed to create a successful stay with my dog! He took him walking with other dogs which was great & Daniel seemed to have managed quite well. The hens and kitty appeared to have also been taken care of perfectly! I hope to have Daniel come back and stay for my next getaway! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“L took such great care of our adult dog and 12 week old puppy. We were nervous as puppies are a lot to manage but L went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations in so many ways. Additionally, we had never had a house sitter before so this was a little nerve wracking hiring someone off of an app. Once we met in person I was put at ease particularly because how my skittish Mini Aussie was surprisingly not skittish with L and as it turns out I know their mom and they live really close to us. I would recommend L to anyone who needs house sitting or animal sitting. L is very good with animals, detail oriented, professional, trustworthy and conscientious. We will definitely use L in the future when we travel.”
“Brooke was amazing! We were out of the country for about 2 weeks and Brooke took great care of our pup. She stayed at our house and gave us updates throughout the weeks. We were initially hesitant to leave our dog while being so far away but Brooke asked a lot of good questions, spent some time with us and our dog before we left, and we felt our dog would be in good hands with her. The house looked amazing when we returned, our dog was happy, and we fully recommend booking Brooke! She's the best.”
“Lexi was great with our older dogs and young cat. Prompt, friendly and easy to work with-she followed our pet’s care instructions very well. I would not hesitate to recommend her!”
“Gunner is a very kind and conscientious pet and house sitter. He is communicative and provided updates and pictures of our cat happily interacting with him. My mind was so at ease knowing Gunner was taking care of my cat and home while we were away. I would definitely hire him again!”
About: I have had a dog my whole life and love animals. I love the chance to spend time and care for other's animals as well. I currently work part time because I just moved to Idaho and have availability to care for pets in my free time. I would love to play and walk your dog when I am not at my other job and would love the opportunity to provide overnight care too. I am currently working part time so I have somewhat a lot of availability to care for pets during the week or on the weekends I have a backyard and will be able to take your pet on plenty of walks and give them the environment they need to make it through the day.
About: I adore all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and I now have my own little family. I have a kitten named Duck Duck and a gecko named Gecki Gavito (legal name Larry) I work a 9-5 during the week but have open availability in the early morning, evenings, and weekends. I am also a full time college student so I have no problem hanging out with animals while I work! Looking after a pet in their own home is easier in my experience. The familiar environment puts them at ease and it's fun to play with their favorite toys and see what their routine is.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and taken care of many friends and families pets. I love animals and care for them deeply. I just graduated from Boise State and am currently working full time. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can check on pets throughout the day. I will make sure they get some good exercise and play time along with being fed and let out when needed. If your pets love cuddles I’m happy to do that too.
“Michael and Zoe are knowledgable dog caretakers who treated our kookie Dalmatian like a member of the family. She had fun with their dogs. I would highly recommend them to dog parents who need to leave their fur babies in good hands.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I've always owned dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Border Collies, and other high energy working breeds. I also grew up caring for horses, goats, dogs, cats, and just about every other animal you can think of. Along the way, I attended basic obedience classes with my own dogs where we learned clicker training and positive reinforcement techniques. Today, I have a German Shepherd and a cat of my own, and I know just how much our pets mean to us. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and it has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I'm on Rover because spending time with animals simply makes me happy. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, and I don't take that trust lightly. When your pet is with me, I'll care for them the same way I care for my own, with patience, lots of love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I own my own business, which gives me the flexibility to create my own schedule. Because of that, I'm rarely away for more than a few hours at a time, allowing me to provide attentive care and plenty of companionship for your pet. I'll always do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am always the person worrying about my own pets and their unique needs when I'm away from the house. This means I will always follow your instructions and care for your pet in extreme detail. Making sure they're secured, have eaten, have plenty of water, ample exercise, any medications needed, and plenty of love and affection. I pay attention to the little things, and will always do everything in my power to ensure their comfortability.
“Jen did a fabulous job taking care of our pets! I have dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. One of my pups is 17 years old and takes a couple of medications. Jen didn’t flinch at the work and she was very reasonable. The pets loved her and she kept us updated while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole like and have a dog and a cat of my own. I have pet sat many times before from cats to multiple dogs. I personally love walking so I love taking a dog with me! Always willing to help pet owners with whatever they need! I am currently a student at Boise State University. I do not have a job outside of school so I definitely have free time to watch over your pets! I am available Tuesday anytime after 2, Thursday anytime after 2, and all day Friday-Monday! At my own home, I have to make sure my cat stays inside so he doesn’t wonder off. I always make sure doors are closed in the areas he is in. I even have a small cattio (cat patio) which is an enclosed space he can sit in to get fresh air outside. My dog gets a lot of exercise and spends some time swimming in the pool!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Blacks Creek walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Blacks Creek maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Blacks Creek choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
