About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with a variety of breeds, personalities, activity levels, sizes and ages. I currently have a puppy so I am up to date on puppy training and care! If your dog is in my care, they will have a constant source of entertainment, from fetch, tug a wars, walks, hikes and snuggles. I work from home so I have plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. I work part time as a freelance writer, and the rest I spend working for rover! My child is in kindergarten so she is gone most of the day. I have a fenced yard, a doggy door and a large dog crate for dogs who love to den. I live in a low traffic culdesac which is great for dog walks. Less noise and less distractions. I have a 4 month old puppy who I’ve been training (behavioral, social and manners) since day one. He is very friendly and social, loves dogs and cats!
About: With previous volunteer and dog boarding experience, I have substantial hands-on experience in pet care, including training, playgroups, and medication administration across both young and senior stages. I am excited to offer dedicated and compassionate care for your pets, treating them with the same love and attention I give my own. PLEASE NOTE: My young daughter, who is nearly 3 often accompanies me on bookings. She’s gentle and used to being around animals. Other than being a stay-at-home mom, I’m not currently working elsewhere, so my availability is very flexible. I’m able to provide attentive, 24/7 care for your pet in a loving, home-like environment. Please note I do take my 3 year old with me on bookings the majority of the time. I care for your pets just like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. My own dogs are well-behaved and friendly—they’re great at adjusting to the needs of each guest, whether that means giving space or joining in for some fun playtime. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve always had at least three dogs in my house, ranging from small dogs to bigger dogs, like labs and German shepherds. I work as a middle school librarian, so I’m available after school and weekends! After 3:30 is when I’m available during the week but I have no limitations on the weekends! Unfortunately, my current residence does not allow for pets. If my residence changes in the near future, I will gladly have pets in my apartment.
About: Growing up I’ve always had multiple dogs. I was the one always responsible for feeding and taking care of them. I’ve always loved being around dogs and cats and being able to take care of them! I don’t currently have a full time job! I am between semesters in college so I’m just trying to pick up some side jobs to make some money! My home is in the south side of Nampa with a love of farm land surrounding. I have two labs that are very energetic and love going on walks. We go almost every morning and night. There is a nice 1 mile walk path that we talk that is super pretty and right next to my house. In a clients home I would be respectful to their home and follow what ever guidelines they set for me in regards to taking care of their pets and/or home
About: Hi! I’m 26, a Boise State graduate and former Honors College student, and I’m currently working toward my master’s degree. I also work at St. Luke’s three days a week, which gives me a really flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience with pets that have very different personalities and needs. I grew up with a cat, lived with a very reactive Pit Bull in college, and now have a 6-month-old Lab puppy of my own. Because of that, I’m comfortable with everything from puppy energy and basic training to dogs that need a little more patience, structure, and awareness of their surroundings. Having my own puppy has definitely reminded me how much work goes into raising a young dog! I’m very used to potty schedules, frequent walks, reinforcing good habits, keeping puppies entertained, and making sure they don’t get into absolutely everything they can find. I’m extremely responsible, organized, and dependable, but I’m also the kind of person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for by someone who will pay attention to their routine, personality, safety, and all the little details you give me. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a reactive dog who needs some extra patience, or a cat who prefers to do their own thing, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and treat them like one of my own. I work 3 days a week and very rarely on weekends so I am very flexible and have a really easy ability to move my schedule around to come see your pet. I am very good at following directions and take pet safety very seriously. I am sure I accommodate your dog whether that means you have a large backyard or you live in a small apartment and the dog is crate trained.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and have more than 27 years of hands-on pet-care experience. My parents allowed me to adopt my first cat from a shelter when I was seven, and she remained my beloved companion until she was 14. When she developed diabetes, I learned to administer her insulin injections twice daily. With consistent care, she lived three additional happy years beyond what we initially thought possible. I have always felt a special connection with animals of every kind, including both cats and dogs. Animals naturally bring me a sense of peace, and caring for them is something I find genuinely meaningful. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I am dependable, observant, safety-conscious, and calm during unexpected situations. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, caring for senior pets, and administering injectable medication when properly instructed. I will treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule while building my personal art business, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I am available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I can also accommodate many morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and holiday requests. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so being dependable and arriving at the agreed-upon time will always be a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and established routine will always come first. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and never force interaction with a nervous or shy animal. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I am highly responsible, attentive to detail, and calm under pressure. I also respect the trust involved in entering someone’s home and will leave it clean and secure. I will provide dependable communication, photos, and visit updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of personal attention.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Central Cove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
