About: I’ve lived with cats of my own my whole life. I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats since I was 8. I’ve always grown up around dogs and have a love for any and all pets! I am a full time student at Boise State University, but have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to care for your pets whenever is needed. In my home we have an open loving environment for our cat that has all the essentials needed for her to thrive. I can take care of your animal in any way that you prefer and that is fitting for them.
“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!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for yours. I provide attentive, home-style care with plenty of affection, playtime, exercise, and frequent potty breaks. I currently have two dogs of my own—an 16-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and a 7-year-old Labrador Retriever. Caring for dogs with very different ages and needs has given me experience with everything from energetic playtime and daily exercise to the extra patience and attention senior dogs require. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand the importance of following each dog’s normal routine, keeping them safe and comfortable, and giving them plenty of individual attention while their family is away. I’m dependable, patient, and will care for every dog as if they were one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. My day revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure my own dogs are happy and comfortable. Adding another dog to our routine feels natural, and I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for. Life at our home is all about keeping dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy. My two dogs—a gentle 18-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and a friendly 7-year-old Labrador Retriever—have helped create a calm, dog-friendly environment. Whether your pup loves to play outside or prefers relaxing indoors, they’ll receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while feeling right at home. I have a fenced yard and two We go for walks twice a day and there’s no shortage of treats unless otherwise specified.
“I was so lucky to find Stephani! I needed a second sitter for daytime drop-in visits because my regular house/pet sitter is not available during the day and I was going on a two-day trip. Stephani responded promptly to my request for a meet-and-greet, arrived exactly on time, and it was immediately apparent that she is a professional. AND then, after I was already out of town, my regular sitter - who stays at my house and takes care of my pets in the evening and morning - had an emergency, and Stephani didn't even hesitate to take over the dinner and breakfast feedings as well as stop by late at night to let my senior dog out and tuck him in. Additionally, she always let me know what time she would be there, sent photos and a quick report of the visit, and when she would be back. She truly is outstanding and I highly recommend her! Thank you Stephanie ?”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years, including watching dogs and cats for neighbors, family, and friends. I’ve also had my own dog since I was a kid, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibility that comes with taking care of an animal. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m a full-time college student, so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of availability for pet care! I’m available to watch pets full-time from Friday through Sunday, and during the week I have free time between classes for drop-ins, walks, and check-ins. I’m also available for overnight stays during the week, making it easy to provide consistent care and attention while you’re away. I prefer watching pets in their own home, where they’re already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I think staying in their own space helps make the experience less stressful, especially when their owners are away. I’ll follow their usual routines, make sure they’re fed and cared for, and give them plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure to keep their home clean, secure, and just as I found it :)
“This is our first time hiring Crystal. Feeding our cats is kind of crazy/complicated. However Crystal did a great job with that and everything else. Sent texts and pics each day. We will definitely hire her in the future.”
“Atticus was great with taking care of our cats as well as being agreeable to taking care of non-pet related tasks such as taking out the garbage to the curb and bringing in packages. Atticus was communicative, agreeable to a meet and greet, and stuck to the care schedule. I would book with Atticus in the future and recommend others do the same.”
“Monique is amazing when it comes to communication. She’s super responsive, answers questions quickly, and always keeps me in the loop, which makes everything feel easy and stress-free. Lucy absolutely loves her, like lose-her-mind excited loves her, and it’s obvious she feels comfortable and cared for every time. Honestly, Lucy already looks forward to the next time she gets to see her - and that says everything. 🐾”
About: I’ve been house sitting and watching dogs for the last 3 years, and absolutely love it! I have gotten the opportunity to care for many different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I currently have two dogs, and always have had dogs growing up, so I have a lot of experience! I’m currently working part time with my schedule varying, but have free time throughout the week, and can usually work house sitting into my work schedule when needed:) I typically care for dogs in the clients home when house sitting, and am able to pick them up for walks figure out alternatives when needed.
“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!”
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.
About: Hello my name is Kaitlin and I am a wife and registered nurse looking to enrich my life and make extra income by taking care of your dogs! I am experienced with all breeds large and small, I have a house with a large fenced in yard. I have dog sat for neighbors as they traveled and am home most days. I walk or run 2-3 miles a day and would love to have a furry friend to join me. I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help you out and work with you to create a schedule you are happy with. I live with my Husband who is a veteran. We have two fur babies of our own. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs, and answer any questions you may have! I am available most days to walk dogs and check on them throughout the day in their own home. I do have two dogs of my own so I won’t be able to board in my home. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs and would love to have an animal sanctuary one day.
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!
About: Dogs love me. Owners trust me. I've spent years caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from bouncy, bitey puppies to gentle seniors who just want a cozy spot and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable managing a full household, having cared for up to four dogs at once, and I understand that every dog in the group has their own personality, needs, and quirks. As a walker, I stay alert and present, watching for other dogs, wildlife, traffic, and anything that might spook or excite your pup, so walks stay safe and enjoyable from start to finish. I've personally been a "dog mom" to two or more dogs at a time for years, so I don't just work with dogs, I live the daily rhythm of caring for them: the routines, the cuddles, the slobbery ball fetching. Above all, my goal is simple: your dog should feel safe, happy, and genuinely loved every moment they're in my care. And yes, if we're being honest, I probably like dogs more than most people. They're better listeners. I work full time as a flexible hybrid worker. This means I am available (and eager!) to pop out as needed. I'm often available 24/7 on weekends and can easily plan around your pets' needs, because that's what I'd want for my own pets. I do not offer pet care in my home, but when it comes to clients’ homes my mantra is the same as it is when venturing into the great outdoors — leave it better than you found it.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Boise is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boise
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!

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 .

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.

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.
