“Thank you so much for looking in on him Christin! He was super excited to have me home and was very meowy all night long (which is expected). He looks like he is doing great!”
“Morgan was great! We really appreciated how Morgan came over for a meet and greet before we were out of town, and Morgan did a great job taking care of our girls! Thank you!”
“We’ve booked Sara multiple times for pop-in visits with our cat. You’d never know it from Sara’s interactions with her, but our cat has a violent side. She’s scared off sitters before. But we can tell from the pictures and Austen’s disposition when we get home that she feels comfortable with Sara. Brings us great peace of mind!”
About: Hi there, fellow pet lovers! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by... I live in the beautiful North End of Boise and have been pet-sitting for years, caring for dogs and cats! Consider me your trusted ally who is dedicated to enriching your pet's daily experience while simplifying yours. I grew up with Saint Bernards, so handling large dogs is second nature to me. Our home was always full of animals—strays, rescues, and the occasional “foster fail” who became family. We made room for whoever needed it, and that mindset has stayed with me ever since. I’m comfortable with a full range of pet temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure. I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your pet is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out! Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, playtime, you name it. Also, please ask me anything if you can't find it in my profile! I'm happy to discuss extra services that you or your pet needs to feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away! I am recently retired early from the tech industry and now have time to give back to my community and neighbors! I'm available 7 days a week, and for overnights if needed and if the fit is right! Contact me anytime, and we can coordinate something that works, whether it's just hanging out with your pet or having a fun adventure! I've lived a lifetime with pets and rescued animals, so for me they are family. I treat all living things with respect, understanding, and care. I'm always thinking ahead of potential scenarios when planning any outings, making sure I'm prepared with extra leashes, treats, and/or a strong understanding of an area and what to expect.
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for and walking dogs, including regularly walking dogs throughout high school. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’m dependable, patient, and have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a college student with a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and can often accommodate different times of day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine and any instructions provided. I’m careful with doors, leashes, feeding, and medications, and I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well supervised. I’m also respectful of your home and happy to send regular updates and photos while you’re away.
“Phedre is amazing! She is very professional and took great care of my two cats. I gave her a list of instructions that she followed exactly. She sent multiple updates and pictures! I highly recommend using her. I know I will be!”
“Stephani took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing every visit. I could not recommend her more.”
About: I grew up in a home filled with animals. We had cats, birds and dogs, all whom I loved & made quality time for. I have 12+ years of experience taking care of a variety of pets including ferrets, birds, rats, fish, cats & dogs & more, for family, friends & local community members. I also had two cats of my own, who were the center of my world, for the past 4yrs & recently got a new cat who runs the home (as cats do). I strive to accommodate to the needs of both you & your pet(s) so that you both feel comfortable. Whether that’s adjusting my schedule where I can to maintain their routine, to sending you pictures of your pet(s) while I’m caring for them. I love going for adventures, though if your pet just needs some rest I’m happy to snuggle up by their side while reading a book or crocheting (yes I will crochet them toys & sweaters if you’d like). Regardless, I’m here for them. I also have a car for transportation to & from your place for caregiving, & am familiar with the local emergency vets in the rare instance they have an emergency. I hope to be the purrfect match for your pet’s needs! I work in downtown Boise. My typical work schedule is M-Th, 8.45am-4.45pm & I’m off F-Su. I usually have a lot of flexibility on my days off. Every 3rd week of the month my work schedule changes on T-Th to 11am-7pm. Depending on your pets needs & distance from my work (around downtown Boise) I may be available for a midday check-in. I know I have these days marked as unavailable on Rover, so if you’re curious to know if I’d be available T-Th, please feel free to reach out when booking :) I have experience working with crates, if your pet uses one, & administering medications. My #1 priority is to keep your pet safe & keep you updated regarding any health concerns because the last thing you need is to feel stressed about your pet’s wellbeing while you’re away.
About: Hi! My mom co-owns a nonprofit animal rescue. With this, we have had animals of any kind coming in and out of our house since 2016. We have had cats from bottle-fed, all the way to senior cats. We have had a litter of 9 puppies at once. I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter. Animals are my passion, I have such a strong love for them and would love to contribute this passion! I am an online college student, so I am able to do my schoolwork whenever needed. I am home most of the day, which is very convenient for being able to care for my animals. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of! I follow instructions and give them plenty of attention! I always keep an eye on the animals! <3
“Thank you very much for caring for Gracie and Fernando❗️i’ve been sick and that’s why I haven’t been in touch. Will be calling on you in future. All the best. Anne and Peter”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was young and have pet sat for friends neighbors and family members. Along with pet sitting I have 2 pooches of my own one of which requires some extra special care. I have experience taking care of pets of all ages and sizes, my experience does not stop at dogs as I have taken care of cats, lizards, and chickens as well. I am a full time student with availability at the beginning and end of each day and some here and there in the middle, I also work full time on the weekends but make sure to stop in on pooches during my breaks, overnight, or before and after work to give them the attention they so deserve! As a pet owner we want only the best for our pets, as a pet sitter we want to keep your pets in their most comfortable and safe space your home! Keeping them happy and healthy and respecting your ways of keeping them whether that be crates to keep them away from mischief or free roaming as the ruler of their space. The goal is to keep them comfortable and stress free with ample amounts of love and attention.
About: As a proud dog mom to my 4 year old Mini Bernedoodle, Prince, I know that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells, or curling up for belly rubs, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I believe the best pet care is personalized. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages, giving you peace of mind that your best friend is happy, safe, and having a great time. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My own pets keep me on a consistent routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care, stick to your pet’s routine, and be available for visits throughout the day. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a drop-in visit, or simply spending quality time with your pet. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other preferences you have. I know that pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I strive to provide calm, consistent care while giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping things clean, secure, and leaving everything just as I found it. Throughout each visit, I’ll send regular photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up around a lot of dogs, big and small, so I’m pretty familiar with the temperament, aggressive affection and redirection strategies to help reduce behaviors. As a Boise School District employee, I may be away for up to 8 hours (7-3) while school is in session. Weekends are best for house-sitting or longer visits, and weekday drop-ins are still available before/after work. I’m happy to discuss schedules to make sure your pets get the care they need while you’re away! Sadly, my home isn’t quite spacious enough for another furry friend to romp around, so I’ll come to you! I have experience with many different breeds and personalities, and I always focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, your pup will be cared for like they’re my own.
“Jenn was FANTASTIC! She was confident that she would be best pals with our babies and she was not wrong! Our two kitties loved spending time with Jenn while we were away, and knowing that our fur pals were receiving the love and care they deserve, enabled us the piece of mind to be fully present during our 2 week vacation. Jenn is a great communicator, she is gentle, thoughtful, and loving, and she will make a GREAT pet sitter for anyone looking for exceptional at home pet care. THANKS AGAIN JENN! You’re amazing 🫶”
About: I love animals and think they deserve the world. I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes. I'd love the chance to walk, snuggle, or stay with your fur baby I'm currently working a part-time job as an RBT with kids on the autism spectrum. I have a variety of times during my week that are open. I will take care of your pet as I would my own. I am able to give medicine, crate, play with, love on, and walk your animal. Their happiness and safety is my priority.
About: I am a veterinary assistant and have worked and surrounded myself with animals my whole life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked with vets, and was a dog handler and a doggie daycare over the past few summer years. I have experience with cat, dogs, fish, rodents, reptiles, and more. I love hiking and spending time outside as well, so hikes with dogs are more than welcome! I recently moved to Boise and am excited to get to know the area, so taking your dog on walks is the perfect excuse for me to explore ;) I work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm so i before and after my shift I can take care of your furry, scaly or slimy friends! I also don’t work weekends at all so my availability is wide open! When working with animals in their own homes, I think it’s important to understand you’re coming into their space and to work slowly to earn their trust! I have worked with many different animals and know how to read body language, so if your pet is uncomfortable I know how to work with them and listen to their needs.
About: I've been caring for animals for over 17 years and love it. My dog, Diego, is a high energy blue heeler that I've been raising since he was a puppy. I have always enjoyed animals so taking care of pets comes natural. I care for pets by creating a calm, consistent routine that keeps them comfortable and happy. I pay attention to your pet’s body language and adjust my approach to match their energy level. Whether that’s quiet companionship or active walking.

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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Boise
I am so lucky I found Meghan! She took fantastic care of my 6 year old cat, who warmed up to her very quickly. When I returned home it was clear my cat was well taken care of and happy. She also brought in some packages for us! I would recommend Meghan to anyone. I will certainly book her again.
Alinda was great! This was my first experience booking with Rover, and she did not disappoint. She watched my two cats while I was out of town and followed all of my instructions, which was so important for my cat with health issues. She was punctual, flexible, communicated frequently, respectful of my home, and very attentive to my cats. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Heidi did an absolute fantastic job watching my cat while I was traveling out of the country. She stayed with my cat as long as I had asked her to, communicated extremely well, provided frequent and thorough updates on how my cat was doing, and sent daily photos. Making sure she was up to speed on what my pet needed was a breeze, as she was attentive and genuinely cared about the well-being of my cat. She’s friendly and my very nervous girl did so great with her! I would 100% hire Heidi again the next time I need a sitter!
I'm giving Alie 5 Stars only because 10 Stars is not an option. She's the best sitter I've had by far. Always on point with pix, care and communication. She's now my "go-to" sitter. If you're seeking someone who is thoughtful, professional, and trustworthy, she's the best. Full stop!
Our go-to sitter. She takes such good care of our (very clingy and needy) two cats. Even when we're gone on long trips, I know they're well taken care of and can rest easy. Sam is always on top of communicating with us about the boys (our cats) and sends us soooo many beautiful photos so we can see how they're doing and what they've been up to while we're gone. HIGHLY recommend this gem of a sitter 🧡
Stephani was amazing! She sent me photos and updates on the boys (our cats) each day. She was even able to coax them out of hiding to eat on the 3rd day. They are very frightened of people they don’t know. She also brought in a package that was left on our front porch. We have already booked with her for upcoming care fr the boys. I highly recommend and trust Stephani!
Morgan did awesome with my cat! I always appreciate a sitter with cat experience because my kitty requires good cat-reading skills. Onion warmed up to her very quickly, which I also loved. Morgan also brought and my mail and watered the plants, which was a kind extra. I also really appreciated all the questions she asked before booking to get the best sense of what to expect. It made it clear she knew what she was doing. Will definitely book again!
Adia is absolutely amazing! She helped me out super last minute and took such great care of my cat. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and gave me so much peace of mind knowing my kitty was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her to watch my cat again!
I’ve booked with Kristi a couple times now, and I feel so much better about traveling knowing my kitties are well taken care of and checked in on while I’m gone. The daily updates and photos are really appreciated, and I know the kitties like having company. I highly recommend booking with Kristi!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Boise is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 679 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Boise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
