“Anna was a great sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. She managed a hand-off from another sitter seamlessly. She gave thorough updates and responded quickly to requests. Would love to have her sit for us again in the future.”
“Liz took great care of Echo and Luna, she sent photos and videos of them so we could stay up to date on how they were doing. We appreciate her loving on them.”
“Michael was great!!! My puppy was very happy when I returned and he kept in constant contact with me while I was away. He left my condo perfectly clean and neat. A top-notch dog sitter!”
“Our dogs love Alanah. She is our go to sitter. The dogs are happy to be home with her and we enjoy knowing that they are in good hands. Great communication, dogs are happy..we couldn’t ask for more.”
“Ali house sat for me and took wonderful care of Bear. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how he was doing, and she followed all my instructions for his routine. I could tell Ali genuinely loves dogs. Communication was easy and reliable the whole time. I'd book her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have had a dog my whole life and love animals. I love the chance to spend time and care for other's animals as well. I currently work part time because I just moved to Idaho and have availability to care for pets in my free time. I would love to play and walk your dog when I am not at my other job and would love the opportunity to provide overnight care too. I am currently working part time so I have somewhat a lot of availability to care for pets during the week or on the weekends I have a backyard and will be able to take your pet on plenty of walks and give them the environment they need to make it through the day.
“Hope was very easy to work with while I was out of town and communicated regular updates on my cats for me. She took great care of them and made sure they got plenty of love. Definitely recommend her services any time.”
“Ciera has quickly become our dog’s favorite person. She did an excellent job helping Sundance feel safe, happy, and comfortable. We always get anxious leaving him, but she kept us constantly updated with messages and pictures. Ciera is the BEST sitter you could get on Rover. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We will definitely be using Ashton again. We wanted someone we could trust in our home, to care for our Olde English Bulldog, and make him feel the least amount of stress while we are away. Our Winston gets separation anxiety. Ashton was professional, communicated often, and above all cared for Winston like we would. When your dog looks sad that their sitter has left, is when you know you’ve found the right person. Thank you, Ashton!”
“Phedre is amazing! She is very professional and took great care of my two cats. I gave her a list of instructions that she followed exactly. She sent multiple updates and pictures! I highly recommend using her. I know I will be!”
“Amazing communication and photos throughout the stay! We even had some irrigation issues that she helped with while we were out! We could tell Walt was well taken care of, as was the house!!”
“This was our second time having Brooke and Dylan dog sit and they again did an awesome job. They gave our Buster plenty of snuggles, playtime and walks to keep him company while we were gone and we will definitely rebook! 😊”
“Lexi is a very nice young woman. We reached out to her the day before we left after having a cancellation from another cat sitter. She could not have been more accommodating, staying at our house at the last minute, and we appreciate the care she provided to our baby, Cleo.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She followed every single instruction we left and went above and beyond to make sure our cat and dog felt safe, comfortable, and happy the entire time. From the regular updates and photos to the clear care she gave both of them, it was obvious they were in excellent hands. Our pets came home relaxed and content, which is the best feedback we could receive. Highly recommend—she’s reliable, attentive, and truly cares about the animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and after recently getting into pet sitting, I realized how much I love spending time with and caring for pets. Being away at college means I miss my own dog a lot, so I love having the chance to meet new furry friends and give them the attention, playtime, and love they deserve. I’m excited to provide reliable, compassionate care for your pets! I’m also a very active person, so I love getting outside for walks, exploring trails, and giving dogs the exercise and enrichment they need. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a more adventurous walk, I’m happy to keep them active. I’m a college student at Boise State with a fairly flexible schedule! My availability is: Monday–Wednesday: Available before 12 PM and after 3 PM Thursday: Available before 12 PM Friday–Sunday: Available all day I love having the flexibility to spend time with pets throughout the week, whether that’s walks or drop-in visits I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, loving care when you need it! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I take that responsibility seriously. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on creating a calm, positive experience for your pets by ensuring I learn and follow their normal routines and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide and will always treat your home and pets with respect.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boise
This was the first time Abigail house sat to take care of our 2 small dogs. All went well. She’s responsive to any questions, sent pictures, and the dogs were great when we returned home. The house was the same as we left it upon returning. We will definitely use her again!
1 MILLION out of 5 STARS, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Kambry is truly exceptional in every way! Our dogs mean the absolute world to us. With our children grown and out of the house, our two senior pups (13 and 14) are very much our babies. They experience significant anxiety when boarded, so for years we've had someone stay in our home whenever we travel. After almost 10 years with the same trusted sitter, moving to a new state and starting over with someone we'd never met was no small thing. Finding Kambry was an absolute blessing! My husband and I both have demanding executive careers, and we needed someone we could genuinely trust to stay with our pups and take care of our home while away on an important, nearly weeklong business trip. From our very first conversation through her thoughtful follow up after we returned, Kambry was outstanding. Incredibly responsive, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely kind. Her background in the military, fire service, and first responder training initially caught my attention, but it was the way she carried herself and cared for both our dogs and us as their pet parents that really set her apart. She's beyond capable and exceptionally conscientious, while still having the warmth and genuine love for animals that make someone a truly wonderful pet sitter. Her communication deserves its own five star review. Multiple times a day, without ever having to ask, she sent thoughtful updates with the best photos and videos. We could see how relaxed, happy, and loved our dogs were. For anyone who has ever spent a trip worrying about their pets, you know how priceless that is. We didn't spend a single moment wondering how things were going. Her PROACTIVE communication gave us complete peace of mind and clarity. And then there's the house. We'd been in our brand new home for less than two months, so having someone stay there was another leap of faith. Kambry treated it with the same care and respect she gave our dogs, even helping us navigate a few unexpected household matters while we were away. Our home was pristine when we returned, and she even left us a sweet note welcoming us home! What impressed us most was that Kambry didn't simply do everything we asked. She anticipated our needs, paid attention to the smallest details, and made the entire experience effortless. We were able to be fully present on our trip, knowing that everything we cared about most back home was in wonderful hands. Kambry is the rare combination of highly qualified, exceptionally reliable, and genuinely caring. Finding someone who inspires this level of trust and peace of mind is truly priceless. If you're fortunate enough to find an opening on her calendar, BOOK HER! She is absolutely be our first choice every time we travel.
Macey was amazing with my two dogs! She came over the week before to meet them and I really appreciated that because one of my dogs is nervous around new people. He warmed up to her quickly and she took great care of them! I will definitely be hiring Macey again in the future!
This was our first time using Rover. We had a wonderful experience even though we were nervous about leaving our aged dog. We arranged a meet and greet with Ciera and James before our trip and felt confident that our 15 year old dog was going to be well taken care of while we were away for 10 days. Ciera and James kindly took care of Kiki and exceeded our expectations by sending pictures and assuring us, every couple of days, that things were going well. The communication was great and they were very respectful of our home. Everything went well while we're away and Kiki was herself when we returned. Of course Kiki was excited to see us, but not stressed, and we are so thankful for the compassionate care they provided, we highly recommend Ciera and James!
Cynthia is the absolute best! This is the 3rd time we have used her to watch our home and pets. We are always thrilled to come home to happy and well cared for fur babies, and an immaculate home! Cynthia keeps in touch daily with updates and wonderful pictures. We are so lucky to have found her, and if there was a 10 star option, she would get it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Boise is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 921 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Boise walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Boise maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
