“Kimberly was such an amazing friend for Skye over the weekend. Absolutely booking her again next time we are out of town! Definitely highly recommend for your furry family.”
“Kimberly did an excellent job! I hired her to do four 30-minute drop-in visits at my home over 1 1/2 days while I was out of town. I have two dogs. Through the Rover app, I received texts from her of when she arrived, when she left, and photos and comments of her visits. She played ball fetch with them and kept them very happy. I definitely will recommend Kimberly to my family, friends and neighbors.”
“Christina was awesome. I was out of town 8 days, and you literally couldn’t tell anyone had even been in the home and the cats acted like we just went out to the store. :) Christina was great communicating and if there was any need to modify drop-in time on a day, she would reach out to discuss the best options. I will definitely be using her again for our next out of town trip!”
“Sydney is very kind and accommodating. When she came to my house she noticed some packages on the door step so she picked them up and brought them into the house. Zero loves her. I am so thankful she was able to give him his medications.”
About: I have always had dogs and have trained my newest dog since a pup. I have always helped with other animals including fish, cats, snakes and rabbits. I am currently in online piloting school so i will have plenty of time through out the day to take care of your fluffy friends! Depending on your home i will have lots of play time in the yard or where i can with them and will give them everything they could need while they are in my care.
“Kimberly took great care of the family and home I left behind while I took some time away. Last minute as all my other helpers all fell through. My pets were loved and fed and watered in my home twice daily and she kept me from having a nervous breakdown being away from them. Thank you so much Kimberly! We will be asking for your assistance again.”
About: Online college student looking to do house sitting. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 12. I have much experience caring for outdoor and indoor pets ranging from birds, fish, cats, dogs, etc. Currently I am doing online school for Business Administration. I have another flexible part-time job where I choose my days of work as a vendor. My work days are typically 5-6 hours once or twice a week. I wake up at 6am where I can take your pet outside, feed them, play with them and give them lots of love. I am able to adjust my work schedule to your pets needs and am comfortable around many different personalities. I will give attentive care and clean up after your animals for your peace of mind. I have trained my dogs and hope to get a certification to become a trainer. I have worked with many different personalities ranging from anxious/timid pets, to energetic animals as well.
“Kristi was a great. We needed someone immediately due to a sick family member in the hospital and Kristi came over and loved on our pups in our absence. She was a great help!”
“So thankful to have found such a wonderful dog/cat sitter! I didn’t have much time to walk her through their routines, but Beth is a Pro and stepped right in and took care of everything perfectly!”
About: I’ve been taking care of puppies since I was 13! I’m a very outdoorsy girl who loves animals especially dogs. I enjoy staying active all year round:) I get off work around 3 and then normally go for a hike or to the gym but this way I can meet new furry friends while still getting my steps in! I plan on providing the best service not only to you but also to your animals. I’m looking forward to learning and understanding you and your animals!
About: I’ve always been great with animals. I love taking care of my own cats and I’ve had much experience over the years taking care of friends and family members dogs and cats. I will provide compassionate care for your little furry friends! As a stay at home mom, I have plenty of time on my hands to be able to do drop ins and walks whenever you need for your pet and I will always fit your needs into my schedule. I have a great relationship with my own two cats. We do lots of cuddles and I love playing with them as well. I am able to give pets as much attention as they need and am able to play, run around and be active with them as well, whether it be a drop in or a walk.
About: Like many animal lovers, I raised cats and dogs the majority of my life. Even raised 9 pups from my own dog! I’d like to help take care of your pets with you. My previous work had me travel for 3 years so I understand how challenging it can be to have someone watch your pets. You wonder if they’ll be as nice, gentle, caring, and active as you are with them. (Or if your pet will pick them over you for being away so long!) I will be as, if not more, attentive to your pets while you are away. Like the title says - I’m a realtor! My schedule is open and most of my work can be done through my phone or laptop. I do go to the gym and can adjust my schedule to be morning or evening depending on your needs. Early start for my dogs! 5am walks to start their day along with clean bowls before every feeding! I use a filtered water system for them, but that’s also cleaned weekly. If your pets are like mine then all that hair is a bit messy. So, brushing is a must! They do like to get on the couch so vacuuming is a must too! No kennel for them. Just their own cots. As for bathing and grooming - as needed.
“Kelci was great! The dogs really seemed to enjoy her presence. We had to book last minute and she, thankfully was able to accept. She found all the secrets (favorite toys, places to be scratched, everything). With her experience with older dogs and the care she obviously showed them I’d book her again in a heart beat.”
About: For more than 40 years, I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats of my own. After my last Boxer passed away in 2022, I found a new way to share that love by caring for—and spoiling—the pets of others. I’ve provided excellent pet- and housesitting services on TrustedHousesitters in the Boise area for the past year, earning 20 five-star reviews. Many of my sits have been with repeat hosts, which reflects the trust and dependable care I provide. My experience includes dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and even beetles. Before moving to Boise, I spent 14 years fostering dogs and providing pet-sitting services in the Atlanta area. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to follow instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and affection. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked as a project manager in the technology industry. As I transition into a more personally fulfilling career, I’m excited to devote more time to animals and give your pets the same thoughtful, reliable care I would want for my own. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and thoroughly spoiled while you’re away. I currently work full-time as a pet sitter, so caring for pets is my primary focus. I’m able to organize my schedule around each client’s needs and your pet’s established routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and night, including 24/7 overnight care, and I’ll work with you to create a dependable schedule that helps your pet feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a strong focus on safety, trust, and consistency. I carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet’s individual needs, routines, feeding schedules, medications, and preferences are respected. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, taking them on a walk, or enjoying outdoor exercise together, I remain attentive to their surroundings and comfort. I take safety precautions during every visit and activity so your pet can feel secure and relaxed in your absence. You can count on me to provide dependable, thoughtful care while treating your home and your pet with the same respect I would expect for my own.
About: With years of experience in grooming, daycare, and pet sitting, I specialize in senior care, rescue dogs, and puppies. I’m confident with all temperaments, trained in medication administration, and known for providing calm, compassionate care tailored to each pet. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I structure my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for. Whether it’s early morning feedings, mid-day walks, or evening cuddles, I prioritize consistency, comfort, and attention for every pet I look after. In your home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I keep things clean, stick to their comfort zones, and give lots of affection and attention so they feel secure and cared for.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life. I pay close attention to their needs and always give them the best care. I will make sure they are taken care of the best way possible I work full time but am available at night and durning the weekends. I can also swing but at any time to make sure they are happy. I will follow all instructions while watching your loved one in your home. I can also bring them to mine if needed for a short time.
About: I’m 24 and I have grown up with dogs in the home and my entire family has dogs. Since I was a little kid I have always loved animals of all kinds! I’m energetic and detailed oriented. You tell me what you need and it’s done! I love cats and geckos, as well as snakes and any other pet you may have! If you are looking for someone who will give your dogs love I’m your girl. I’m very fit and love to go on walks. I’m everything you are looking for and more! I’ve also worked as a dog bather and have handled dogs as tiny as a chihuahua and as big as a Newfoundland! And I have a certificate of completion of Knowing Dogs 101 from Dog Gurus! I’m currently not working, and I understand that some pets and their owners feel more comfortable in their own home and I have the time and love to give to your pet, my boyfriend currently works nights so trying to fill my day with animals as I have so much love to give! In your home I will respect your privacy, and only tend to the pets. I will only do what you ask so if you don’t ask it may not get done. But I will work with you to get what you need done!! And make sure that your fur baby is well loved, played with (however they choose), taken on walks as well!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
