“Drew arrived for his two visits a day promptly. Loved his pictures of Arlo! When I returned, all water dishes were filled, plenty of food in Arlo’s dish and Arlo was a happy camper. Would highly recommend Drew. He’s reliable and I trust him.”
“Thank you so much for looking in on him Christin! He was super excited to have me home and was very meowy all night long (which is expected). He looks like he is doing great!”
“Repeat client here, and there’s a reason we continue to use Tiffany every single time, she’s simply the best. From a practical standpoint, consistency and trust matter, and Tiffany delivers on both. She has taken care of Toots multiple times for drop-ins and walks, and every experience has been seamless. Toots can be particular, and Tiffany just gets her. That level of understanding isn’t luck, it’s skill and genuine care. What this means is I never have to second-guess anything. Tiffany is reliable, communicative, and always ensures Toots is safe, exercised, and well cared for. More importantly, Toots clearly enjoys her time with her, which says everything. In reality, when you find someone this dependable and attentive, you don’t keep searching, you stick with them. Highly recommend Tiffany. We’ll continue booking her again and again ❤️:”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life—I grew up with two sweet pups, Maggie and Milly, and that’s where my passion for pet care began. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, each with their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family! I work from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a lunch break around 2 p.m., which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m happy to adjust my schedule as needed to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. While I’m not able to offer pet sitting in my apartment, I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your beloved pet. Whether it’s staying overnight or dropping in for walks, playtime, or feeding during the day, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
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 grew up out in the country in Rexburg, Idaho where I was responsible for taking care of a lot of my family's house pets. I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. Right now I am attending school and have no pets. Back at my parents place, I have two cats and a dog that I adore and take care of when they are gone! I'm currently attending BSU and I'm looking for a part time job where I can have fun and spend some time with some animals. I'm free almost all days out of the week, especially weekends. The only day I am really busy with school is Tuesday, where I have class from 9 to 7. My biggest thing for taking care of animals is hanging out with them. When I was younger, leaving on trips with my family, our dog would never get the attention it needed from house sitters. My hope is to spend sometime playing with your pet, and making sure all their needs are taken care of.
“She was able to make arrangements to care for my cat on short notice, despite me being a new client. She seems very friendly took care of my cat as requested.”
“Nugget was very well taken care of during our holiday vacation. Alinda sent multiple pictures from every visit, showed up on a regular schedule exactly as expected and stayed the full visit time to give Nugget plenty of attention in addition to the feeding and litterbox chores.”
About: Let me take of care your pups! I have over 15 years of dog experience and love spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have a 4yr old Standard Poodle who loves dogs of all sizes. I love hiking in the foothills and prefer to take pups with me. If foothills aren't for your pup, I am happy to do nice long walks, play fetch, or just provide some attention and love. I'm a trained groomer and have experience with a variety of dog breeds, temperaments, and any special need requirements. Let me know what your schedule is and I will be more than willing to accommodate. I am professional, responsible, and dependable. I look forward to hearing from you! I currently work remote most of the time, so this ensures your dog(s) will not be left alone for long periods of time. I enjoy spending time with dogs and will provide a safe and relaxing environment while they’re in my care. I live in a house in the North End with a very large fully fenced backyard so your pup is sure to get plenty of fresh air.
“Sydney was wonderful! Very communicative and helpful! She was great with our cat! She was able to make a last-minute visit work when our original plans fell through and she made sure our cat wasn’t injured when we saw on our camera that the cat had hurt herself when alone.”
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.
About: I love being active and playful with dogs. Going on walks or playing fetch is always a go. If swimming is in the picture, thats always fun too! If your dog is older or isn't on the more active side that is also fine! I don't mind just relaxing and hanging out around the house with your dog. Down time isn't a bad thing! I'll try my hardest to make sure that your dog is comfortable as can be with their surroundings! I'll enforce the rules that are set for your dog by you, the owners, while still managing to make sure the dog is feeling loved and comfortable! I try very hard to help make pets feel as close to home as possible even when they aren't.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boise
She did great with Gunner! Came by to do a meet and greet as well as to go over information needed for the visits. She kept in touch with me each day if there were any questions or concerns and sent lots of photos as well. She took him out on daily walks and played with him as well as made sure to follow any training we were doing with him. Would definitely rebook with her again in the future
Christin is amazing! One of my dogs can take a while to warm up to new people and she warmed up to Christin right away. She provides great pictures/ comments about her drop-in visits and communicated really well. She gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was out of town and I would give her more than 5 stars if I could!
I am so lucky I found Meghan! She took fantastic care of my 6 year old cat, who warmed up to her very quickly. When I returned home it was clear my cat was well taken care of and happy. She also brought in some packages for us! I would recommend Meghan to anyone. I will certainly book her again.
Alinda was great! This was my first experience booking with Rover, and she did not disappoint. She watched my two cats while I was out of town and followed all of my instructions, which was so important for my cat with health issues. She was punctual, flexible, communicated frequently, respectful of my home, and very attentive to my cats. I will definitely be booking with her again!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Boise is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 1,492 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 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
- 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 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.
