“Suzanne was wonderful with our dog. He is generally a little nervous with new people but he liked her right away. She checked in while we were gone and sent photos as well. We came home from our trip to a happy dog and a clean house. She was wonderful and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Cynthia was amazing. She took such good care of my furry friend, and left my home completely untouched. She made sure my dog was walked regularly and sent photos as well. I could tell my pup was content while I was away and that was a huge gift.”
“Highly recommend Michael for home pet sitting. My pup is my child and I would only leave him with someone I trusted. Michael kept in touch while my husband and I were traveling and I did not worry about my dog getting meds and the senior dog care he needed. I'll definitely use Michael again.”
“Anna was a great sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. She managed a hand-off from another sitter seamlessly. She gave thorough updates and responded quickly to requests. Would love to have her sit for us again in the future.”
“Jenn was absolutely fantastic! Jeff and I felt completely at ease away from our pets knowing Jenn was looking after them. Jenn communicated well and spent a lot of time interacting with our cat and dog. We are thrilled with the level of care Jenn provided and will absolutely use her again.”
“Liz took great care of Echo and Luna, she sent photos and videos of them so we could stay up to date on how they were doing. We appreciate her loving on them.”
“Sarah, did a great job with our 10-year-old Corgi and caring for our house. She was communicative and flexible when our travel plans changed suddenly on both ends of the trip because of flight delays/cancellations.”
“I was so very grateful for Emily. She sent pictures, texted, responded quickly to my texts. When she came to do a meet and greet, before we went on vacation, I knew in a few minutes that I could trust her with my house and my three 80lb+ dogs. I was able to relax on vacation knowing she is very responsible and communicative. Thank you again and again Emily. I will recommend you to all of my friends up here on the mesa. Tracy McDonald”
“Hope was very easy to work with while I was out of town and communicated regular updates on my cats for me. She took great care of them and made sure they got plenty of love. Definitely recommend her services any time.”
About: I have mostly taken care of dogs, cats and chickens. When I had my own dogs, I didn’t realize that house and pet sitting was even an option. I would drive them about an hour to a wonderful woman who had converted her former horse property into a place where dogs could run and get plenty of exercise in the horse rink. It was a much better alternative than a traditional kennel but was disruptive to their normal routine and caused anxiety. One trip especially stands out. A snowstorm came through while I was away, and because the property was located at the top of a hill, we couldn’t get to the dogs for three additional days. They were safe and well cared for, but the experience made me realize how much I would have preferred for them to be comfortable in their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. I’m a retired professional now self-employed who is looking for opportunities to combine house and pet sitting with exploring Ada County, Idaho and Clackamas County Oregon. I’m currently pet-free, but I’ve had three dogs, three cats and many chickens over the years, so I understand the companionship pets provide and the importance of keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I’m comfortable with both dogs, cats and chickens and would treat your pets calmly and with kindness. As a homeowner myself, I understand that your home is your biggest investment and your personal space. I’m observant and pay attention. If I hear water running unexpectedly, notice something unusual, or see something that doesn’t seem right, I’m the type of person who investigates rather than ignoring it. I’m conscientious about keeping a home secure, clean, and well cared for. I enjoy a peaceful home environment and would be happy spending time with your pets, taking dogs for walks, watering plants, collecting mail, bringing in packages, and generally keeping an eye on things while you’re away.
About: I am a veterinary assistant and have worked and surrounded myself with animals my whole life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked with vets, and was a dog handler and a doggie daycare over the past few summer years. I have experience with cat, dogs, fish, rodents, reptiles, and more. I love hiking and spending time outside as well, so hikes with dogs are more than welcome! I recently moved to Boise and am excited to get to know the area, so taking your dog on walks is the perfect excuse for me to explore ;) I work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm so i before and after my shift I can take care of your furry, scaly or slimy friends! I also don’t work weekends at all so my availability is wide open! When working with animals in their own homes, I think it’s important to understand you’re coming into their space and to work slowly to earn their trust! I have worked with many different animals and know how to read body language, so if your pet is uncomfortable I know how to work with them and listen to their needs.
About: Hi! My name is Sarah and I am currently residing in Boise, ID. Before moving to Boise, I grew up on a smaller farm with all sorts of animals which has influenced me into being the experienced animal care taker I am today! I've been watching, walking, and taking care of animals for all my life so anything your dog or cat needs, I am completely comfortable with doing so. I am reliable, trustworthy, and extremely flexible so any adjustments you need I can tailor too. Overall, I want you and your fur baby to feel relaxed and comfortable. I am confident I will provide the best care for your fur babies! I am looking forward to walking, watching, and taking care of your pet! I have an extremely flexible and open work schedule, so anytime, anywhere, I am available to tailor to your pets! Whatever you and your pet needs to be comfortable, I am able and more than willing to provide. When I stay and watch your fur babies I make sure to spend the most time I can with them while giving them good walks, play time, cuddles, and anything else they need. I also am a little bit of a clean freak so you won't have to worry about any messes:)
“We would love to recommend Kate for any service you may need. Kate house sat a very unusual set of dogs and a moody Alexa smart home. She stayed with our 2 dogs and house over night. The dogs were left happy the house and bedding was left clean. She managed our smart home and home alarm system. Kate was in and out in the afternoon picking up the back yard after the dogs. Bringing in the mail and taking the trash cans out on trash day. At night she stayed overnight with the dogs. We thank her so much. Once again the dogs and house were a challenge but Kate handled it. Highly recommended”
“Kara was an amazing cat and house sitter! Both of my kitties take medication and love when people stay with them. They have a very detailed routine and Kara took great care of them. I trust Kara to take care of any home and any animal that she is taking care of. She sent pictures while we were gone and the kitties were so content when we came home. Book with her for any of your trips and you won’t be disappointed!!”
“Candy was excellent! She sent a ton of pictures and updates on our pup. She also did all of the other tasks around the house. She left notes and communicating things we needed to know. She also was extremely flexible, as our plans changed due to travel. Maverick was happy and they got along. Would highly recommend!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Boise Hills Village is $50

Sarah was absolutely amazing with our dogs while we were away for our wedding. We were able to enjoy the entire weekend without worrying because we knew they were in great hands. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and took such great care of both of our girls — especially our older dog, Oakley, who can be a little anxious when we’re gone. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and everything exactly as we left it. It was obvious Sarah genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her to watch them again. Highly recommend Sarah!
Daniel was amazing with my 9 y/o husky, which he had for a full week! He was super communicative, polite, and sent me pictures throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. He got tons of walks and attention, and I came home to a very happy pup! Daniel also left my house so clean and even washed his own sheets, which was such a nice surprise. I felt completely comfortable having him stay in my home, and would absolutely recommend him. I’ll definitely be booking with Daniel again!
Gunner did a great job with my daughter's two large dogs. They can be a handful and he handled any issues that came up with grace and ease. It's hard to find someone to spend the night with two large dogs and he was so kind and accommodating. I'd ask for his help again for sure.
Kara was an amazing cat and house sitter! Both of my kitties take medication and love when people stay with them. They have a very detailed routine and Kara took great care of them. I trust Kara to take care of any home and any animal that she is taking care of. She sent pictures while we were gone and the kitties were so content when we came home. Book with her for any of your trips and you won’t be disappointed!!
We highly recommend Jane for your pet/housesitting needs! She kept us apprised of all the goings-on and sent lots of photos and a video which we appreciated. The house was spotless when we got home and she even did the sheets & stuff from her stay. We will definitely be having her again.
Michael took excellent care of our two older dogs, four hens and lots of plants. We (and the dogs) really appreciated his willingness to spend most of his time at the house, as the dogs don't do well if left alone for most of the day. Thanks, Michael - great job!
Augusta was fabulous! She took excellent care of our mini golden doodle, Bailey, while we were away. She communicated frequently, took Bailey for regular walks and sent several photos of our sweet dog. She also gave Bailey lots of love and belly rubs, which Bailey absolutely loves! Augusta is a sweet, responsible young woman and we would highly recommend her! We would absolutely love for her to watch Bailey again if she is available and her schedule permits!

FAQs for House Sitting - Boise Hills Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boise Hills Village on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 936 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boise Hills Village. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Boise Hills Village walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Boise Hills Village maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Boise Hills Village choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
