“Kelci did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our home and all of our animals while we were away. We came back to a spotless house and happy, relaxed pets, which says everything about the care and attention she gives. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and responsible hands. She is dependable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend Kelci to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐕🦺🐈⬛🐈♥️”
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of small and big animals, including pets, farm animals, and even wild animals with conservation organizations. I love learning all the details of what constitutes the best care for each animal! I'm pretty good at basic training with dogs and puppies, and even kitties!! I give kitty and doggy massage and (reiki) energy, animals can feel our energy for sure! Sometimes I can intuitively pick up on little changes that could really help them. I'm a self-employed entrepreneur. I teach some yoga therapy clients, and have art healing sessions at different times throughout the week. These are short sessions, so I would only be away from the pet-sit house for a few hours, and planned ahead of time, but also able to be flexible as needed. I'm able to accommodate morning, midday, or evening times for all care needs. Occasionally I'm able to take a pet-sit dog on a walk with a walk client if everyone gets along, which I'm pretty good at facilitating actually, but I always ask first, and never push for it. I like to really check in with each animal and give them plenty of specialized attention. Especially at first, it takes a little time for them to build trust with a new person! I also like to keep to the routines that they expect. My cat gets treats upon waking, and before we go to bed, she likes the consistency. She likes variation in play-time and exploration, and I aim to help her build confidence in approaching new situations, she has been an amazing adventure cat and companion! I learn each pets favorite spot to chill, and when they do and don't want attention. I listen for, and learn their cues, and communication.
“Meredith is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. You could not ask for more. Very responsive, goes above and beyond what’s needed, has a real feeling for what your pet needs. Outstanding. I’m so grateful.”
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.
“Annemarie did an amazing job looking after Cricket. Cricket historically has not warmed up to Pet Sitters, however Annemarie is now Cricket's new best friend. Setting in her lap, receiving brushings and wanting to play, this we have never seen before. We highly recommend Annemarie for your pets as she is compassionate and great communicator. We got pictures and updates daily while in Europe. Hard to believe the change in Cricket, this is a first!”
“Sierra was so nice and sweet with my pup. I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and even sent me multiple pictures. My dog loved her and seemed to have a great time!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old, when I bought my own puppy with the money I had saved up. I love dogs with all my heart, currently I do not have a pooch of my own, so I would love to meet yours and help you care for them! I am currently a stay-at-home parent to my 3 children(12, 10, and 7). I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and am wanting to start creating bonds with your pet! I have a somewhat large fully fenced yard, so I am willing to take dogs to my home for a few hours! Currently my cats rule the roost, so I will not let any other animals in my home, but they are welcome in my back yard and I will spend time with them there!
About: I’ve taken care of animals for friends and family members for over 10 years. I was involved in raising animals with 4H and FFA during my childhood. I have primarily taken care of dogs and cats. I look forward to taking care of your furry family members while you’re hopefully enjoying your time away from home! I’m currently working full time from 8am to 4:30/5pm Monday through Friday. During the week, I am available for drop in visits in the morning before work, during lunch, and after 5pm for overnight visits. I am very flexible with availability on the weekends for day and overnight pet care. I unfortunately am not able to have pets at my house. But I am more than happy to do drop in visits and walks for your pets, overnight care during the week/weekend in your home where your pets feel the most comfortable!
“My animals loved Sydney! She was great! Sydney was thoughtful enough to check on my outdoor plants and goldfish (which we forgot about) while she was caring for the other animals. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Natasha was AMAZING!!! She watched our two cats while my partner and I were on vacation. She sent the best pictures of our kitties to us. I felt very assured our fur babies were being taken care of. I 10/10 recommend Natasha!”
“Alanah is an absolute STAR! 10/10 will be booking with her again. She followed all our care instructions for our little kitty who takes medicine, and sent us updates and pictures regularly! 🐈⬛💞 She is a fantastic communicator and very caring and kind. If you are looking for someone to watch your furry friends while you’re away, we highly recommend booking with Alanah.”
“Sarah always does a fantastic job. Its always scary leaving my very senior (and grumpy) kitty in someone else's hands but I know he is well cared for by Sarah. I hope to continue to book with her for all my future trips.”
“Emily did an amazing job taking care of our dog Louie! He's a very energetic guy and she was awesome and took him for both a run and walk in the same day. We could tell he was well taken care of and would highly recommend Emily. We look forward to using her in the future!”

Jessie was so amazing with Tiki! She always would respond in a pronto manner which made me feel at ease. Her pictures were amazing and she always was on time for the appts! I will be using her services again for sure! Thank you so much Jessie! P.S. I think my dog misses her lol
Barbara was amazing! She also has a small dog so I knew I could trust her with mine. She even gave my dog some treats after their walk when I forgot to remind her! She remembered all of my special instructions and the pictures that she took were great! Whenever she is back in town, I will be using her again. Thank you!
Josey was absolutely fantastic for our pups Sailor and Zazu. She communicates well, often, and is thoughtful in asking questions. If you are like me it is the most comforting to have someone you trust, your dogs love, and shows up for them when they need her. I will absolutely be checking to see if Josey is available for future visits!
Sierra was awesome with my boys! 2 large 1 year old labs that still think they're puppies. Very conscientious and reported her in home sessions with pics. Shame to lose her, but her school is and should be a priority. I would highly recommend her, if her schedule fits yours.
Ashley is great! We are so glad we found her to watch our two boys. Right away upon meeting her, I could immediately tell she’s an animal lover. Our gold retriever gives a lot of kisses and leaves a lot of golden dust after which isn’t for the faint of heart. She is extremely interactive and provides lots of pets and snuggles. Ashley came to our home to check in on our pups while we were out of town. Our dogs love her! She sent pictures everyday, gave them lots of hugs and play time and made sure they had a lot of attention during her drop in. Thank you!
Drew was very committed with our boys. Our boy Banjo can be difficult leashing up. Both the dogs were apprehensive of a stranger but Drew was sweet, git on the floor with them and spent extra time. Banjo really never cooperated but Drew was still able to get him out to potty. I highly recommend Drew if you’re in the Boise area!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Boise stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Boise 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Boise with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boise. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
