“I was so worried about transitioning from Daycare to leaving my pup home all day and having Laramie has been so great. She made it super easy to set up the visits and always sends a photo or two so I know how he is doing during the day. She’s gives him his treat before he goes so he has something to do to keep him busy for a little longer which helps me feel better about the day alone. He’s been doing great with the transition and seems happy being home which is great!”
“Gayle was wonderful with our dog. Our dog is well behaved but big, 70lbs. Gayle was able to walk him for 1 hour everyday. S Gayle is great with dogs and super responsive. Loved the use of a rover Card everyday sent from Gayle!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 13. The first dog I had to care for was my own, when I got my dog Dash my dad said we could keep her if my siblings and I took care of her. She is now 10 years old and the greatest responsibility I have taken care of in my life. I also started dog sitting for friends and family not long after. I have taken care of older dogs who need medication and help with their mobility. Puppies who have been from 1 month to 1 year old, whether it was stopping by afterschool to let them out while potty training or keeping them active. I’ve taken care of dogs from complicated backgrounds who need more time to open up. One of the dogs I regularly take care of was a rescue who didn’t like men and was scared of new people I would spend time with the family in their home so the dog could get used to me before i would take care of him on my own. Understanding a dogs personality and being respectful of their space is always important to learn to establish a connection with a dog. Adapting to their routine makes for an easy transition for both dog and owner. I enjoy caring for dogs and getting to know them, there’s nothing greater then having a dog by your side. DISCLAIMER!! (I WILL BE LEAVING FOR SCHOOL AUG 20th) I am more compatible with pets who can go a few hours without supervision. Currently I am home for break from college and have most of my schedule free. In the summer when I come back to Boise I work a part time job. So being able to leave for a few hours works the best for me. When taking care of someone else’s pet I always ask as many questions as possible, based on both the pet and owner. Learning their routines, personalities and quirks helps me best adapt to the lifestyle both pet and owner share. When taking care of a pet in their own home being respectful and responsible is a must not only do I have to earn the pets trust but also the owners. I am being trusted with someone’s beloved pet and want to make sure it’s easy for both parties. I have a chiwinne named Dash who is my pride and joy. She loves to lounge in the sun, in warmer weather she will always be outside in our fully fenced backyard where we can see her. She likes to go on a small walk each day and play inside with her toys. Dash would rather stay laying in her bed or the couch all day if she could but we always try to keep her healthy and safe. Being part winner dog she still has a long spine, we always try to make sure she’s careful from not hurting herself.
“Amelia was very responsive when I reached out to her for a dog walking date. Came & met our dog. Sent updates on the day of walk & pictures. Will definitely reach out to her again when needed.”
“Misha is so happy and calm because Emily takes him for nice long hikes with his favorite dog friends. He no longer looks concerned at all when I leave for work, and he is so much calmer and happier. She is really the best if you have a high energy dog or one who needs a diet and exercise program.”
“Sarah is great with my dog Barry! She got him to go more than half a mile on walks, fed, and took him out for bathroom breaks for when I scheduled her to! I will for sure rebook her until she’s unavailable. Thanks again Sarah!”
“Anastasia was great, truly professional. She offered to come over for a little meet and greet ahead of time. On the day of, she confirmed in the app and was timely in arriving. She took such sweet care of my pup and provided several photos of their adventures together. It is such a stress relief to know that my girl is getting nice, long walks during my working days now. We will be using Anatasia regularly!”
“Nicole is wonderful with my pets. My dog loves her and enjoys all of the new things Nicole teaches her. Nicole has watched and walked our dog and cat a few times now and she is always responsible, responsive, and very loving.”
About: I grew up with animals my entire life! Having multiple dogs and cats has shown me that each one has their own personality and fun traits! I am attentive of their needs and wants and have trained multiple of my family dogs. I currently have two cats and still care for my family dog! I normally work nights, from about 4pm-11pm, but there are one or two days a week that I work 9-5. I will be able to walk the pups any time needed before my night shifts, and on days off or morning shifts we can enjoy a stroll at dusk. Because my schedule can fluctuate, I will be sure to have a conversation with you about what that will look like before booking if needed! I will be sure to keep dogs on leash during walks and take them out for exercise at least twice a day. I am apt about bringing doggy bags for cleanup to be a good neighbor! Your animals will be fed on schedule and I will make sure to actually spend time with them - not just drop by for 10 minutes and leave. I know they need to be active and stimulated and loved!
“Stephani is awesome. My dog Teddy really loved her. She is very punctual and did not mind giving Teddy extra care to take care of his special needs. Will definitely use her again!”
“Hatcher did a great job with my Alfie! He walked him around the neighborhood while I was at work, and he sent me several pictures of him, which really made my day! He was highly communicative throughout the whole process, which I really appreciated.”
“Drew was great. When my scheduled changed for dog walks he adjusted. He fed, watered and walked my dog for ten days and sent photos each day. He was dependable and on time. I'd hire him again in a heart beat!”
“Our dog,Buster, loved Jolynne! She was very patient with him when he wasn’t sure about going out in the rain. Today he was waiting at the door for her even though I home ! I will definitely use her again!”
“Craig is the absolute best!! And Gunner clearly loves him. Craig goes above and beyond, with adorable pictures and letting me know when the session begins and ends , as well as the route they walked. He is highly reliable always shows up on time. We love Craig!”
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.
“Stephanie is professional and a true animal lover. She is responsive to all of Rocky’s needs and appreciates his idiosyncrasies. Very responsive to communication and goes the extra mile.”

Olivia has been amazing with our anxious Chihuahua. She has been incredibly patient and communicative while walking and taking caring of him. It's clear that she cares about his well-being and goes the extra mile to make sure all of his needs are met. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker/sitter.
Craig obviously enjoys his work and is especially fond of my pup because she is an eager and willing walker. I am unable to give her the exercise she needs, so Im thrilled to have someone who truly cares about her taking her on her daily walks. I trust Craig to take care of my dog and give her the activity level so important to keeping her happy and engaged. She will drop whatever she is doing and be on high alert when his van comes down our street. That speaks volumes about how much she loves her walks, but more importantly, what a good, kind handler Craig is. Dogs always have good "taste" in people!
Caroline is truly the best! She takes such great care of our rescue Pittie, Penny. Penny gets so waggy when she sees Caroline, and Penny can be very particular about who she will go for walks with. Caroline is thorough, friendly, kind, and prompt. We always hire Caroline when she is available!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Boise on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,445 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Boise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Boise. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Boise.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boise. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
