“Liz and Anna took wonderful care of my dog Hazel while I was on a trip. They sent updates with pictures daily, which was comforting to see her playing and eating well. Thank you so much!”
“Jane was fantastic and very loving with our dog and cat! She sent plenty of pictures and they seemed very happy the whole time. She also made sure the house was clean when we returned home, which was very appreciated. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Cynthia was a great pet/house sitter. She gave us updates and photos and checked in about a security concern. You can tell she really likes animals and so easy to work with. Thank you for giving us peace of mind that all was well in your hands!”
About: I’ve been dog walking and house sitting for the past few summers, and many of my clients have rebooked me. When I house sit, I stay overnight so your pets keep their normal routine. Dogs get 3 walks a day, 2 meals, and fresh water, and I also take care of cats with feeding, water, and check-ins. I’m an active runner, so your dog gets real exercise, not just a quick lap around the block. I’ll send photo updates so you always know how things are going. I’m a student at Boise State, so I plan my class schedule around my clients. During the school year I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks and drop-ins, and I can do overnight stays any night of the week. During summer and school breaks I have lots of availability. When I house sit, I stay overnight and work walks and meals into a consistent daily routine. I only provide care in your home, not mine, so your pets stay in a familiar, comfortable space. I follow your feeding and walking routines exactly, keep dogs leashed on walks, and make sure doors and gates are always secured. Before every stay I get your vet info and emergency contacts. I treat your home with respect, keep it clean, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pets are safe and happy.
“They did such a great job watching my moody, territorial pup! He’s not always the easiest to deal with, but they were super patient and made him feel comfortable. I received daily updates and was awesome hearing the progress he made feeling comfortable with them.”
“Traci was amazing for the 12 days she spent at my house with my dog Hazel while I was on a trip. She sent pictures and reported on Hazel's activities every evening. Hazel appeared calm and happy, playful as usual. Traci took excellent care of my home and went above and beyond my expectations with the extras she did while she was here, which was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated. I will definitely keep her at the top of my list when I'm away again. Thank you so much, Traci!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 7th grade and have experience caring for all kinds of animals! I have dogs, a cat, and a horse of my own, and I’ve also cared for reptiles, aquatic animals, farm animals, and all kinds of furry four-legged friends. I have experience with both overnight stays and drop-in visits, depending on what works best for each pet and their family. I always make sure pets are well-loved, fed, have fresh water, get their walks in when needed, and receive plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away! I’m currently a freshmen at Boise State University studying pre-nursing, I can come between, before and after classes during the week, and anytime during the weekend :) Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I always make sure to treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow any instructions or routines you have to make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of love and attention! I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in good hands!
About: I’ve been around and taking care of many different pets since the age of 5! Anything from cats, dogs, turtles, and even chickens! I work in veterinary medicine, and I have experience with giving medications, vet visits, young and old pets, and many others! Being around animals is what makes me happy. I have a full-time job in veterinary medicine and I love to travel, so I know what it’s like trying to find someone reliable to watch my loved one(s). **I work nights, and I’m fully available Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, and every other Wednesday. I’m also available before 4pm on the days I do work.** It’s a selective window of opportunities, but I’m hoping I’ll be the right fit for you! I’m also pretty flexible if given enough notice.✌🏻 I’m dedicated to following instructions left by you, and spoiling your fur baby(given they have fur), whenever possible. I LOVE to give detailed Rover cards, and send lots of pictures! My goal is to keep your pet happy, and healthy until they are back in your care.❤️
“My senior kitty loved having Natasha stay with her! She did an amazing job. Not only did she take great care of my cat, but also took great care of my home. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Skylar is a great dog sitter to our sometimes reactive and protective dog. She is very responsive, proactively lets you know how your dog is doing and administers drugs right on schedule. Highly recommend.”
“Martin is amazing! Hope adores him. She's an English bulldog and her little butt wiggles so much when she sees him coming to the door. My girl can be excitable (she's a rescue and loves all human touch) and this can make some people uneasy. Martin had no concerns and was incredible with her. He gave me several updates and pictures throughout the day which meant I could focus on my trip. I am a super picky do mon and I would definitely recommend and will definitely use again.”
“Shaun did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. He met all their needs and wants with playtime and snuggles. He did well communicating and sending pictures during the trip. I'll definitely have Shaun back soon to watch our pups.”
“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!!”
About: Hi! I can provide dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and house sitting. I have two dogs at home, one is a Chocolate Lab and the other is a Maltese. My whole life I have had dogs. Growing up, my dad and I would train our dogs together. I love to walk them, play with them, and most importantly cuddle! I have dog sat for family friends a bunch in the past. I am a student at Boise State, but my schedule is very flexible. I only have morning classes, so I am free the rest of the day. I am not currently employed, so I have a lot of free time! I am currently a student at Boise State, but my classes and workload isn't a lot at all. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of free time throughout the week. Pet sitting fits easily into my daily routine, and I am happy to work around your pet's needs and schedule. I will always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved. I am happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet may have!
“Ashton is a very dependable, neat, and responsible sitter. She has come for both drop-ins and housesitting. She kept us updated on our pets and tended to their quirky needs. We are looking forward to having her care for our pets in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Boise is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boise
Erika was great with our dog Mackay. She sent photos and updates daily. We felt comfortable having Erika in our home as she is honest, tidy and trustworthy. It was wonderful not having to worry while we were on an extended vacation without the dog (the first time in many years). She even taught our old dog new tricks! Mackay, a Blue Heeler, is not an easy dog. He needs daily medication and lengthy walks. All of which Erika handled beautifully. We will definitely call on Erika again!
Ally is the BEST! She watched both of our dogs while we were on a 10 day vacation celebrating our birthdays and wedding anniversary. We are usually so worried on those trips to leave our dogs but we had full faith in Ally. We were able to relax and it was amazing. She is a 15/10 sitter!
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!
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 November 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 November 2026, there are 917 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boise. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
