“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.”
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.
“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!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Alinda was very flexible for scheduling the meet and greet. She was responsive and sent messages and pictures for each drop in appointment. I recommend her.”
“I was so lucky to find Stephani! I needed a second sitter for daytime drop-in visits because my regular house/pet sitter is not available during the day and I was going on a two-day trip. Stephani responded promptly to my request for a meet-and-greet, arrived exactly on time, and it was immediately apparent that she is a professional. AND then, after I was already out of town, my regular sitter - who stays at my house and takes care of my pets in the evening and morning - had an emergency, and Stephani didn't even hesitate to take over the dinner and breakfast feedings as well as stop by late at night to let my senior dog out and tuck him in. Additionally, she always let me know what time she would be there, sent photos and a quick report of the visit, and when she would be back. She truly is outstanding and I highly recommend her! Thank you Stephanie ?”
About: I’ve had a dog of my own for over three years, and she’s a rescue, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. Some pets need a little extra patience and time to feel comfortable, and I’m happy to give them that! I’ve always loved animals and am an extremely responsible, attentive, and caring pet owner. My calm and patient nature helps create a comfortable environment where your animal can feel safe and at ease. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! I’m currently a graduate student living in downtown Boise with flexible hours, who can provide daily pet check ins and can easily do drop in visits mid day. Stepping into a clients home, I recognize animals may be confused or startled which is why I always respect pets boundaries. I strive to leave a home looking better than when I entered it. I always make sure to lock doors, close blinds and provide your pets with a safe space until you return home!
“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.”
“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!”
“Nicole was a wonderful sitter to our two cats! She sends really detailed updates and notices if anything else around the house needs attention while you're away. Would definitely recommend Nicole!”
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.
“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 ❤️:”
“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!”
“Wendy is excellent! She is punctual, kind, and respectful. She is great with our new rescue dog, and takes care of her like one of her own! Wendy took time to meet our dog prior to drop in visits to make sure she’d be a good fit. I highly recommend her to take care of your pup ☺️”

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!
I met w/Morgan a few days before she did her Kitty check-ins for me. She was there on time, friendly with our 2 cats and listened tentatively to all of my needs & instructions. She sent pics and updates which also helped a lot since I was away. I came back to a clean home & my cats were safe. She ‘s great! I’d recommend using her again.. I know I will! Laura Gibson Oh, she also watered my potato plants!! Wow-
I’ve booked with Kristi a couple times now, and I feel so much better about traveling knowing my kitties are well taken care of and checked in on while I’m gone. The daily updates and photos are really appreciated, and I know the kitties like having company. I highly recommend booking with Kristi!
Sierra was awesome with my boys! 2 large 1 year old labs that still think they're puppies. Very conscientious and reported her in home sessions with pics. Shame to lose her, but her school is and should be a priority. I would highly recommend her, if her schedule fits yours.
Meghan did an amazing job with my elderly, timid dog. She was very patient with Leo and did her best to earn his trust. Meghan is very knowledgeable with animal behavior, and has plenty of patience and tolerance and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Boise on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,515 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.
