“Liz was great! On time, communicated well and was great with our dogs. I contacted Liz because we needed a dog sitter as we were driving through Boise. If I lived here I would definitely use her again.”
“Michael preformed as promised. He arrived in a timely manor. He was attentive to the dogs and gave them their eye drops without issue. Michael left the house clean and even washed and changed the sheets.”
“Kiana took great care of our puppy who is currently being treated for heartworms. She was very communicative and we felt comfortable for her to watch Poppy even while we were out of service. Poppy liked Kiana immediately and felt at ease with her. Our house was also very neat and clean when we returned!”
“Augusta was super nice to Frankie and patient with her as it takes her a while to warm up to others. Augusta also is great at communicating what days she's available to dogs sit and what times work for her. She asks clear questions before her stay and follows any directions about feeding times or medication Frankie may need.”
“Caroline was fantastic! We are so lucky we found her. I have a sweet but sometimes anxious Staffy, and it was great for this mama’s heart to feel good about who was taking care of and playing with my fur baby girl. I will definitely be booking Caroline again soon!”
“This was the 2nd time for Cynthia to watch the boys. She's absolutely great and they really enjoy having her stay with them! Cynthia will always be my go-to sitter. Book her now before I do!”
“Anna gave my two big dogs nonstop attention and pets! They adored her. She was able to handle both while on walks, which equals 185 pounds of golden retrievers. I will definitely be using her again because of how she took care of my dogs and the house.”
“Aida was fantastic with our high-energy dog! She can be a handful, but Aida handled her with so much patience and care. She made sure our pup got plenty of exercise and attention, and it was clear she was happy and well cared for while we were gone. We came home to a tired, content dog and a spotless house—couldn’t ask for more!”
“Cadie came through when I needed a last minute dog/house sitter for the evening. She was willing to meet me and get introduced to my dog within hours the same day and treated my guy with plenty of love overnight. She did a great job and was very professional. I’d recommend her and will be booking with her again. Thanks Cadie!”
“Elliot was great! Easy communication, kept me updated on the weekend, and I came home to a tidy and clean house. I would be happy to have Elliot back to care for Scout.”
“Suzanne was wonderful with our dog. He is generally a little nervous with new people but he liked her right away. She checked in while we were gone and sent photos as well. We came home from our trip to a happy dog and a clean house. She was wonderful and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Aaron did an amazing job while pet sitting for our dog Levi. Excellent communication, daily photos of our pet, and was very respectful of our home. We appreciated Aaron’s professionalism and attention to detail.”
“Brinley was so amazing. She showed up when she said she would, spent the whole day hanging out with our dog and pampering him, and she was great at sending updates with pictures. I'll definitely use her again!”
“Kaylah was great. She sent pics & info about their activities every single day. When we returned we found more notes, a well cared for house, and a happy dog. Kaylah was so tidy and such a good communicator, not to mention expert cuddler with our pup we will definitely be asking for her again. Thanks Kaylah”
“Gunner was wonderful with our Newfoundland- Abby, and our cat-Wendy. He stayed in our home for 9 days, it was neat and tidy when we got back. He walked Abby daily and he kept us up to date with daily messages and pictures. Would highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boise
Barabara went above and beyond to help with our pups last minute! Our pups seemed relaxed and happy after drop off. Our older dog Keedo is a very anxious. When we picked Keedo up he looked content. Barbara was also very accommodating with our schedule and her responses were fast.
First, I want to thank Rover for creating and offering such a valuable service. Secondly, I want to thank Suzanne for providing exceptional care to Bob and our home during our week-long vacation. During our absence, we had an issue that we needed Suzanne's help in resolving and she did so with a can-do attitude and we were able to resolve it over the phone. That was invaluable but Suzanne took it all in stride. Our home and Bob were provided top-notch care and simply cannot say enough what a great match Suzanne was for our home and Bob. Thank you Suzanne for also feeding the hummingbirds and taking such good care of the place. We highly recommend you for house/pet sitting and would be a reference for you at any time! All the best, Jo Ann and Ross
Drew was great with our dog,Scout! Scout gets a bit stressed when we travel without him because he really thrives on human attention, but Drew kept him happy and calm with lots of pets, scratches, and quality time throughout the stay. He was respectful of our home, sent plenty of photos, and gave quick updates so we always knew Scout was doing well. We feel confident leaving Scout in Drew’s care and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!
It's a double-edged sword, but it's a good sign that our cat doesn't rush the door when we come home. Means he was well attended to and got the attention he thrives for. Sammy was great with him and communicative with us. She even brought in our trash can, which wasn't expected but appreciated. We would request Sammy's services again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boise
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boise on Rover is $47.5 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 955 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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
- 97% 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.
