“Sarah was amazing with our sweet and shy scaredy-cat. Maya has stranger danger issues but liked Sarah immediately. It was great to get daily photos and updates showing how happy our girl was. We would highly recommend Sarah for pet sitting to anyone. It is comforting to know that Maya and our home were taken well care of.”
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.
“Extremely reliable, trustworthy, friendly and professional. Brought a note pad to take notes on my instructions. Brought my mail in and a package. Pays great attention to my dog and seems to really enjoy her work. Have used 3 or 4 times now, never disappoints.”
“Bailey is so good with my little dog. The 2nd time she came over, Fuji saw her coming to the door and wagged her tail like crazy! Bailey has the energy to give Fuji a workout like we as seniors sometimes don't have. We are very glad to have found Bailey!”
“I highly recommend Emily, she was great with our pit bull puppy Pearl! Pearl seemed happy and well taken care of. Emily is obviously not only a dog person, but an animal person; our two people shy cats even came out to see her. She will definitely be back to take care of Pearl.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life—I grew up with two sweet pups, Maggie and Milly, and that’s where my passion for pet care began. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, each with their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family! I work from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a lunch break around 2 p.m., which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m happy to adjust my schedule as needed to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. While I’m not able to offer pet sitting in my apartment, I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your beloved pet. Whether it’s staying overnight or dropping in for walks, playtime, or feeding during the day, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
“This is my first time having Layne check in on my pet and she was great! She came and met him before and was nothing short of excellent for check-ins. My pet has specific needs and she was able to meet them with no issues. I would highly recommend Layne!!”
“Ciera and James have been wonderful with drop-in visits for Knox! They communicate really well, are reliable, and take great care of him during each visit. I always feel confident knowing Knox is in good hands with them. They’re attentive to his needs and treat him with genuine care. I would definitely recommend Ciera and James and will happily have them look after Knox again!”
“First time with Augusta and it was a great experience. She was responsive to messages and was able to accommodate my pets physical needs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Crystal did a great job with drop in visits for our cat over a 2 week period. She kept us updated on what our cat was up to, made sure to send us pictures and give him some pets, since he was missing us.”
“This was my first time to use Rover and it worked out great! Stephani took good care of my kitty and my fish! I appreciate the updates and I would definitely use Rover and Stephani again in the future!”
“We booked Alisa for a long trip we had planned. (9 days) From the very first meet & greet, my kitties were relaxed, curious and friendly with her. She did an awesome job. She arrived on time, and from the photos, I could see the cats were curious and slowly getting to know her. She gave me just enough little commentary to know all was well and to bring me a few smiles. She reached out with a couple of relevant questions. She also made our homecoming so great...all the trash was taken out, she vacuumed up the kitty litter that they always spill out, and it was clear that they were happy campers. Thanks so much Alisa, we look forward to having you back when we travel again.”
About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting on and off for the past two years and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide services such as dog sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I do my best to follow routines closely and provide care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I currently have a nine-year-old Lab/Beagle mix named Lucy, who is still very high energy, so I’m comfortable caring for active dogs and pets with different temperaments. Growing up with dogs and having pet-sitting experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals. My availability is currently completely open, as I’m home from college for the summer. I’m not working full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and quality time with your pets. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and my goal is always to provide dependable care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for! I am currently home from college, so I have lots of free time during the day and nights! I love taking care and hanging out with pets! I grew up with a very high energy dog, as well as aggressive dogs in the family. I know how to handle just about any type of dog, whatever meets your needs!
About: I’ve had a dog of my own for over three years, and she’s a rescue, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. Some pets need a little extra patience and time to feel comfortable, and I’m happy to give them that! I’ve always loved animals and am an extremely responsible, attentive, and caring pet owner. My calm and patient nature helps create a comfortable environment where your animal can feel safe and at ease. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! I’m currently a graduate student living in downtown Boise with flexible hours, who can provide daily pet check ins and can easily do drop in visits mid day. Stepping into a clients home, I recognize animals may be confused or startled which is why I always respect pets boundaries. I strive to leave a home looking better than when I entered it. I always make sure to lock doors, close blinds and provide your pets with a safe space until you return home!
“Niki was amazing! She is clearly a professional and caring person. I highly recommend her, she made me feel very comfortable trusting her with my pet. Her updates, communication, and attention to detail are supreme.”
“Kristi is always great! She did daily drop-ins to give meds to my cat while I was in the mountains, and helped out with my other cat. She even worked around the pet sitter who was house sitting. I loved receiving all the photos from each day when I reentered cell range. It was such a great feeling.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Boise is $20

Christin is the absolute best! We use her frequently for our dog care needs. She truly loves pets and takes such good care of them while we’re away! She’s incredible with communication and super flexible. 5 star rover ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! We will continue to use her frequently and would highly recommend to anyone! So thankful we found her!!!
Phoenix (Lea H.) did a great job checking in on my new puppy while I was gone for a couple of hours. This was the first time I would be absent from the house in the two weeks since I have had him and I was very anxious about leaving my 10-week old puppy alone in his crate. Phoenix put me at ease with her knowledge of "all things puppy" and her pleasant, quiet demeanor. I was especially grateful she sent me a picture of my sweet Bobby, and kept me informed of his activities. All things seemed to go quite well and I am much relieved. I would definitely ask Phoenix (Lea) to watch him again.
Ciera and James have been wonderful with drop-in visits for Knox! They communicate really well, are reliable, and take great care of him during each visit. I always feel confident knowing Knox is in good hands with them. They’re attentive to his needs and treat him with genuine care. I would definitely recommend Ciera and James and will happily have them look after Knox again!
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!

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.
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 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 .
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.

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.
