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.
About: In recent years I have gotten to know a few pups and absolutely adored all of them! I also took care of my mom’s golden doodle (Biscuit) since he was a puppy, so I have experience with high energy breeds who need lots of outside and play time. I’m a student who has class twice a week in the mornings, and am free any time after 12:30p on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I am very flexible and can ensure that your pets needs are taken care of whether it’s a quick play date or long walk. I always make sure to clean up after myself in every home that I visit, and make sure things are where they were left originally.
“Sara was exceptional in caring for my two whippets during my ski trip to Bogus. She arrived right on time for their dinner, followed all instructions perfectly, and provided detailed updates throughout her visit. Her genuine care for my dogs and professionalism make her my go-to pet sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Alinda was very flexible for scheduling the meet and greet. She was responsive and sent messages and pictures for each drop in appointment. I recommend her.”
“Aaron did a marvelous job caring for our little cat! We are so thankful for him helping us while we were out of town. Aaron was very caring and thorough and did everything we asked for our little guy. We received a summary of their time together for each visit and soo many sweet pictures of our kitty! I highly recommend contacting Aaron for all your pet needs. We will absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you Aaron <3”
“She was able to make arrangements to care for my cat on short notice, despite me being a new client. She seems very friendly took care of my cat as requested.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles for over 15 years. I am familiar with the needs of senior animals and special diet or medication requirements. I am excited to get to care for your pets! I work 2 part time/ PRN positions as a phlebotomist which lets me create my schedule ahead of time, so I will have plenty of availability during the week or weekend to stop in or stay overnight. Pets cared for at your home will feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I will be able to play or take your pet for a walk around your own neighborhood.
“gayle was a wonderful caretaker for my 2 kitties. i never worried or stressed while i was gone. she paid extra attention to their temperaments and made them feel loved while i was away. very trustworthy sitter 🙂”
“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was completely impressed. Adrianna was punctual every day for 14 days, she sent awesome photos and kept me updated on her interactions with my cat. He typically hides from everyone except me and he came out the first day and every day after to get his rubs! I will definitely use Adrianna again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and was a border collie mom to Cas until a few years ago and miss him dearly! I had chickens and miss those characters! I recently retired and provided pet and home sitting services on and off during my career. Since I retired I have had back to back pet and house sitting jobs. I have owned homes and was a landlord. I owned and maintained my last house by myself for almost 15 years and had a large property to maintain. I am experienced with keeping indoor and outdoor plants alive and maintaining landscaping. I am skilled at following special instructions for the care of your animals, plants, outdoor area, and home. I am retired after a long career as a fish biologist and my schedule is flexible and I can adapt my routines to what your pet and house need. I really enjoy being around pets and the routine that they provide and am currently not in a position to have them as I will periodically be traveling and exploring the U.S. and internationally now that my schedule is more flexible. I like to hike and walk and it's more fun with a furry companion. I have owned homes and was a landlord. I am a very neat, tidy, organized, reliable, and dependable person. I will treat your home and pets as I would my own. I look forward to helping you with whatever you need while you are away from home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their loved ones. I also created this dog walking business overseas and it gave me so much happiness taking care of people’s fur babies <3 I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available all week days and each weekend. I can only offer dog visits and overnight care and walking since I do not live in a condusive place for animals. I am more than happy to talk about the details!
“Sabrina has watched my cat twice now and does such a fabulous job! She sends me lots of pictures and updates and even changed out my smoke detector battery that was beeping!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boise
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!
Christin is amazing! She’s always willing to go the extra mile and finds creative ways to keep our German Shepherd active and engaged, even on hot days when outdoor activity is limited. She even helped with diapering while our dog was in heat without hesitation. Junie absolutely loves when Christin comes over, and we have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring and capable hands. We feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her!
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!
This was my first time having Giana work with my pet and she was wonderful. She came and met my dog at my request due to my pets very specific needs. She was patient with him and was able to meet all of Otis's needs. She was very communicative and promt with responses. I would highly recommend Giana.

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.

- 96% 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.
