About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for yours. I provide attentive, home-style care with plenty of affection, playtime, exercise, and frequent potty breaks. I currently have two dogs of my own—an 16-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and a 7-year-old Labrador Retriever. Caring for dogs with very different ages and needs has given me experience with everything from energetic playtime and daily exercise to the extra patience and attention senior dogs require. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand the importance of following each dog’s normal routine, keeping them safe and comfortable, and giving them plenty of individual attention while their family is away. I’m dependable, patient, and will care for every dog as if they were one of my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. My day revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure my own dogs are happy and comfortable. Adding another dog to our routine feels natural, and I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for. Life at our home is all about keeping dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy. My two dogs—a gentle 18-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and a friendly 7-year-old Labrador Retriever—have helped create a calm, dog-friendly environment. Whether your pup loves to play outside or prefers relaxing indoors, they’ll receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while feeling right at home. I have a fenced yard and two We go for walks twice a day and there’s no shortage of treats unless otherwise specified.
“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.”
“Christin is amazing! She’s always willing to go the extra mile and finds creative ways to keep our German Shepherd active and engaged, even on hot days when outdoor activity is limited. She even helped with diapering while our dog was in heat without hesitation. Junie absolutely loves when Christin comes over, and we have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring and capable hands. We feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her!”
“Kalli is great. Her cards are thorough, her pictures numerous, and you can tell how much she cares for animals. I'm definitely planning on booking Kalli again for future trips out of town.”
“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!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was about 12 for people in my town. I have various pets of my own back in my hometown. I have a dog, 3 cats, chickens, and cows and I loved them so much I decided to become a veterinarian. I have learned countless of tasks while working at a vet clinic, so I feel very qualified. I am a college student, so I have plenty of time outside of classes to help take care of other peoples pets. I have a lot of flexibility, so there are lots of times that work for me! I am able to do anything that you need me to do to keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy while they are under my care. I will treat them as if they were my own, if not better.
“Mikayla was awesome! She even helped one of our dogs with an itch spot she noticed. We think they may like her more than us now :) Would 100% use her again!”
“Sara is a total pro. A testament to Rover. We could tell she loves animals and takes this seriously. Great communication, flexibility, and follow-through. Our puppy was searching the house for her last night!”
“Meredith is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. You could not ask for more. Very responsive, goes above and beyond what’s needed, has a real feeling for what your pet needs. Outstanding. I’m so grateful.”
“Tiffany was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of my dog and two cats, and provided regular updates and photos. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and happy. I’m usually a little nervous about leaving my pets (especially my older cat), but I felt completely comfortable leaving them in Tiffany’s care.”
“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Morgan was awesome! So awesome that when I got home from my trip my cat had learned how to speak English so he could tell me how awesome she was and how she not only fed him, played with him, and gave him his treats, but how he was mildly disappointed with me returning because he enjoyed her company so much! She’s now hopefully gonna be my go-to whenever I’m traveling!”
“Alanah is an absolute STAR! 10/10 will be booking with her again. She followed all our care instructions for our little kitty who takes medicine, and sent us updates and pictures regularly! 🐈⬛💞 She is a fantastic communicator and very caring and kind. If you are looking for someone to watch your furry friends while you’re away, we highly recommend booking with Alanah.”
“Niki was amazing! She is clearly a professional and caring person. I highly recommend her, she made me feel very comfortable trusting her with my pet. Her updates, communication, and attention to detail are supreme.”
About: Dogs love me. Owners trust me. I've spent years caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from bouncy, bitey puppies to gentle seniors who just want a cozy spot and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable managing a full household, having cared for up to four dogs at once, and I understand that every dog in the group has their own personality, needs, and quirks. As a walker, I stay alert and present, watching for other dogs, wildlife, traffic, and anything that might spook or excite your pup, so walks stay safe and enjoyable from start to finish. I've personally been a "dog mom" to two or more dogs at a time for years, so I don't just work with dogs, I live the daily rhythm of caring for them: the routines, the cuddles, the slobbery ball fetching. Above all, my goal is simple: your dog should feel safe, happy, and genuinely loved every moment they're in my care. And yes, if we're being honest, I probably like dogs more than most people. They're better listeners. I work full time as a flexible hybrid worker. This means I am available (and eager!) to pop out as needed. I'm often available 24/7 on weekends and can easily plan around your pets' needs, because that's what I'd want for my own pets. I do not offer pet care in my home, but when it comes to clients’ homes my mantra is the same as it is when venturing into the great outdoors — leave it better than you found it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boise
Alie was extremely communicative and punctual with visits! It’s clear that she cared about our cats and their wellbeing as much as we do. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was so patient and gentle that our extremely shy boy came out of hiding for her! We don’t travel a ton but if we do again in the future, we will 100% be rebooking with Alie.
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!
Kristi is by far the best pet sitter I’ve had in my 8 years as a pet owner. It is clear that she loves animals, as my cat was rolling over for belly rubs for her day one 🤭 Would recommend anyone who appreciates their pets to be cared for by a pet lover. Thank you again, Kristi!
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!
Jessie was so amazing with Tiki! She always would respond in a pronto manner which made me feel at ease. Her pictures were amazing and she always was on time for the appts! I will be using her services again for sure! Thank you so much Jessie! P.S. I think my dog misses her lol
Barbara was amazing! She also has a small dog so I knew I could trust her with mine. She even gave my dog some treats after their walk when I forgot to remind her! She remembered all of my special instructions and the pictures that she took were great! Whenever she is back in town, I will be using her again. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Boise on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,509 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Boise. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Boise stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
