“Josey was absolutely fantastic for our pups Sailor and Zazu. She communicates well, often, and is thoughtful in asking questions. If you are like me it is the most comforting to have someone you trust, your dogs love, and shows up for them when they need her. I will absolutely be checking to see if Josey is available for future visits!”
“Christin did an exceptional job. She was so professional and responsive from our first contact to all throughout the visits. She helped us when we needed to extend our trip. We felt so good knowing our doggie was in such great hands. She is an all-star!”
“Sarah always does a fantastic job. Its always scary leaving my very senior (and grumpy) kitty in someone else's hands but I know he is well cared for by Sarah. I hope to continue to book with her for all my future trips.”
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of small and big animals, including pets, farm animals, and even wild animals with conservation organizations. I love learning all the details of what constitutes the best care for each animal! I'm pretty good at basic training with dogs and puppies, and even kitties!! I give kitty and doggy massage and (reiki) energy, animals can feel our energy for sure! Sometimes I can intuitively pick up on little changes that could really help them. I'm a self-employed entrepreneur. I teach some yoga therapy clients, and have art healing sessions at different times throughout the week. These are short sessions, so I would only be away from the pet-sit house for a few hours, and planned ahead of time, but also able to be flexible as needed. I'm able to accommodate morning, midday, or evening times for all care needs. Occasionally I'm able to take a pet-sit dog on a walk with a walk client if everyone gets along, which I'm pretty good at facilitating actually, but I always ask first, and never push for it. I like to really check in with each animal and give them plenty of specialized attention. Especially at first, it takes a little time for them to build trust with a new person! I also like to keep to the routines that they expect. My cat gets treats upon waking, and before we go to bed, she likes the consistency. She likes variation in play-time and exploration, and I aim to help her build confidence in approaching new situations, she has been an amazing adventure cat and companion! I learn each pets favorite spot to chill, and when they do and don't want attention. I listen for, and learn their cues, and communication.
“Jordan did a fantastic job with our drop in visits! She arrived on time and made sure our pups had ample play time. She provided photos and a summary after each visit. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole was the best, she will be my go to sitter for my boy. She was so friendly and so took great care of my cat. Nicole will be my go to sitter for my cat while i'm out of town. so nice to be able to trust he's in good hands!”
About: You can count on me to provide specific, knowledgeable, and loving care with your pets. I grew up around various dog breeds, cat personalities, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even birds! From my upbringing, I have extensive experience with animal body language, their needs, and even have experience training dogs. Dogs and cats were my childhood, and still hold a special place in my heart today. I understand the anxieties of leaving your critters at home, whether it’s just for a day, or for a trip. I promise in my care, your fur babies will be properly cared for, protected, and truly adored! I currently work full time, mostly 10-6 and 11-7 shifts, with my days off being Sunday and Tuesday. Outside of my working hours, I am flexible and available to come spend time with your pets! Unfortunately, I currently live in apartment that does not allow pets, so I do not offer services within my home. But I am an incredibly reliable petsitter in my clients home. I have a reputation for being respectful, trustworthy, and a truly loving petsitter. I always aim to provide the service I would want to receive.
“Alanah did an amazing job caring for our little cat Mumble! She’s a great communicator and keeps a watchful eye on our pet’s moods and wellbeing. We loved all the pictures included in the visit, and we’ll continue booking with her because she’s fantastic!❤️”
“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.”
“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!”
“Niki has been so helpful with our dogs. One is elderly and has been watched by her many times. This recent trip was the first time we also left our 4 yr old lab for an extended amount of time. Niki took the time to make sure our lab got exercise and both of our girls were in great spirits on our return. Everything went great!!”
“My animals loved Sydney! She was great! Sydney was thoughtful enough to check on my outdoor plants and goldfish (which we forgot about) while she was caring for the other animals. I would absolutely use her again.”
About: We go by Gin (Virginia) and Jack (Kandiack), and we’re a husband-and-wife team who share a deep love for animals. We understand that every pet has a unique personality—from confident, social dogs and cats to shy or anxious pets who need extra patience and reassurance. A few years ago, we bought our home and discovered a large population of unaltered feral cats in the neighborhood. We stepped in to have them spayed and neutered, provided food and shelter, and slowly earned their trust. Over time, they became part of our family. That experience deepened our understanding of patience, routine, and the difference consistent, gentle care can make. Our hands-on experience includes: * Caring for shy, anxious, and semi-feral cats. * Building trust at each pet’s pace without forcing interaction. * Maintaining familiar feeding, walking, playtime, and litter box routines. * Offering companionship to pets who feel lonely or stressed. * Administering medications and following special diets and individualized care instructions. Gin is certified in pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. We carry our own insurance and are bonded, and we’re happy to provide additional details upon request. We know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. We take time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks so we can help them feel comfortable and secure. Our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are receiving the same patience, attention, and love we give our own. Pet care is a regular part of our daily routine. I work from home and set my own schedule, giving us flexibility to coordinate visits and stays around your cats’ needs. Together, we plan our availability to provide dependable feeding, medication, playtime, and companionship while keeping your cats’ familiar routines consistent. We’re available for weekday, weekend, and overnight care, with last-minute requests welcome when our schedule allows. We provide attentive care in your home, where your pets can enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. We follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box care, and each pet’s individual needs. For households with multiple pets, we take time to understand their relationships, separate feeding arrangements, and how each one prefers to receive attention. We build trust patiently, using approved treats or favorite toys without forcing interaction. Our experience with rescue and shy cats has taught us the importance of consistency, gentle care, and respecting each animal’s space. We watch for changes in appetite, behavior, and litter box use, communicate concerns promptly, and share updates and photos. We also take care to prevent escapes, secure doors, and follow your home access instructions. Gin is certified in pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross, and we carry our own insurance and are bonded. Your pets’ safety and comfort—and your peace of mind—guide our care.
About: I’ve cared for neighborhood animals since I was around 11 and got my own dogs at 12. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and energy levels and love them all. I’m an RN looking to spend some quality time with some good puppies. I work three days a week 7a-7p and in August will go part time while I’m in grad school. I live in an apartment so walks and hanging out at the doggo’s house would be best. I am very responsible and can’t wait to throw a frisbee, go on walks, and cuddle with the puppers.
“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!”
About: Trust with neighbors animals has been put in me since I was 13. I grew up with all sorts of animals and throughout all of high school and more was taking care of animals. I specialize in dogs and cats but also have experience with all sorts of animals. I pay attention to details and will make sure your animal is well cared for and comfortable. I have class a couple hours of the day mon-thur and have a part time job some nights but very flexible and would make sure to figure out a schedule that works for everyone! I always make sure the animal feels as comfortable as possible in their own home. Never have anyone besides me in the house and accommodating the animals needs.
“Adri did a fantastic job looking after our cat Luna! Luna seemed excited to get some cuddles in every time she was there. Adri gave us daily updates and plenty of pictures, which was super reassuring since I was nervous about leaving her. I felt like Luna was in very good hands!”
“First time with Augusta and it was a great experience. She was responsive to messages and was able to accommodate my pets physical needs. Would definitely recommend!”

Heidi did an absolute fantastic job watching my cat while I was traveling out of the country. She stayed with my cat as long as I had asked her to, communicated extremely well, provided frequent and thorough updates on how my cat was doing, and sent daily photos. Making sure she was up to speed on what my pet needed was a breeze, as she was attentive and genuinely cared about the well-being of my cat. She’s friendly and my very nervous girl did so great with her! I would 100% hire Heidi again the next time I need a sitter!
I'm giving Alie 5 Stars only because 10 Stars is not an option. She's the best sitter I've had by far. Always on point with pix, care and communication. She's now my "go-to" sitter. If you're seeking someone who is thoughtful, professional, and trustworthy, she's the best. Full stop!
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.
Our go-to sitter. She takes such good care of our (very clingy and needy) two cats. Even when we're gone on long trips, I know they're well taken care of and can rest easy. Sam is always on top of communicating with us about the boys (our cats) and sends us soooo many beautiful photos so we can see how they're doing and what they've been up to while we're gone. HIGHLY recommend this gem of a sitter 🧡
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!
Stephani was amazing! She sent me photos and updates on the boys (our cats) each day. She was even able to coax them out of hiding to eat on the 3rd day. They are very frightened of people they don’t know. She also brought in a package that was left on our front porch. We have already booked with her for upcoming care fr the boys. I highly recommend and trust Stephani!
Morgan did awesome with my cat! I always appreciate a sitter with cat experience because my kitty requires good cat-reading skills. Onion warmed up to her very quickly, which I also loved. Morgan also brought and my mail and watered the plants, which was a kind extra. I also really appreciated all the questions she asked before booking to get the best sense of what to expect. It made it clear she knew what she was doing. Will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Boise is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. 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 1,497 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Boise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boise. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
