“Great experience! Nicole dropped in to check on my cat while I was away for the weekend. Excellent communication and lots of pics :) I was so comfortable and highly recommend- will definitely use Nicole again!”
About: Hi! My mom co-owns a nonprofit animal rescue. With this, we have had animals of any kind coming in and out of our house since 2016. We have had cats from bottle-fed, all the way to senior cats. We have had a litter of 9 puppies at once. I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter. Animals are my passion, I have such a strong love for them and would love to contribute this passion! I am an online college student, so I am able to do my schoolwork whenever needed. I am home most of the day, which is very convenient for being able to care for my animals. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of! I follow instructions and give them plenty of attention! I always keep an eye on the animals! <3
“Great service, always on time each day. Got to know my pet well who became very comfortable with her, and thus didn't have to feel so lonely while we were away.”
“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!”
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.
“Morgan was great watching our cats while we were away. There was a big ice/snow storm that hit while we were away and Morgan proactively reached out to establish a plan a week ahead of time and she diligently executed what was mutually agreed upon. I’m grateful that someone with enough care and foresight was booked to watch our cats. I would not hesitate to book Morgan again!”
“Mikayla is the best! Sultan loves her and he’s always so much more calm after she visits while I’m gone. She even helps refresh his bone broth when it runs low 😆”
“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.”
“Bailey took such great care of our cat while we were out of town. She even vacuumed & swept the cat hair without being asked. Very easy to work with and got updates right on time every day. Would definitely want to work with her again!”
“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!❤️”
“Stephanie is amazing! Her storytelling of her visits get me every time and it makes me feel like I’m there with them and I know she’s enjoying her time with my furry love bug 🐈⬛ HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“I highly recommend Emily, she was great with our pit bull puppy Pearl! Pearl seemed happy and well taken care of. Emily is obviously not only a dog person, but an animal person; our two people shy cats even came out to see her. She will definitely be back to take care of Pearl.”
“Sara was exceptional in caring for my two whippets during my ski trip to Bogus. She arrived right on time for their dinner, followed all instructions perfectly, and provided detailed updates throughout her visit. Her genuine care for my dogs and professionalism make her my go-to pet sitter. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“Crystal did a great job with drop in visits for our cat over a 2 week period. She kept us updated on what our cat was up to, made sure to send us pictures and give him some pets, since he was missing us.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Boise is $20

Christin is the absolute best! We use her frequently for our dog care needs. She truly loves pets and takes such good care of them while we’re away! She’s incredible with communication and super flexible. 5 star rover ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! We will continue to use her frequently and would highly recommend to anyone! So thankful we found her!!!
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!
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!

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.
