“Absolutely Superb! I'm extremely pleased with Davalyn, she did just what she told me she would do while I was away. My dogs seemed to love her and and she did them also. I will book again when our schedules align. Very Professional! Thank you Davalyn!”
“Kayla had excellent communication before, during, and at the end of our booking. She stayed in our home and watched our two dogs and they were super happy when we got home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats. Even farm animals since I was 10 yrs old. I'm even going to college to be a veterinary technician. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have during the day plenty of time to play and work with your pups up until 3 pm. I have a huge fenced yard with two friendly pups to keep your babies company. I can also crate your fur baby if necessary needed.
“Cailin was amazing! She kept us in the loop with everything with our fish and dog. She was responsive and helpful. We came back to a happy puppy and clean house! We will definitely use her for our futures needs.”
“Madison was a phenomenal guest and house/dog sitter. She provided updates on Duncan and left us a great, detailed summary of events on the counter. She even did laundry, which was a bonus when we arrived home late! Thanks Madison!”
About: Hi I’m Madison! I love animals and have dog sat on multiple occasions for elderly and young dogs. I’d love to take care of your animals in exchange for the happiness I’ll get from walking and interacting with them! I have pretty open availability at the moment. I can pop in a couple times during the week or stay longer if needed. I do have animals at home so extended days will need to be talked about. I would love to take your dog to a dog park or a nearby trail to get some extra energy out during my stay if wanted!
About: Hi! I’m Elahni! 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love, not just a job. I have 6 years of professional dog-handling experience and 13+ years as a dog owner. In California, I built a clientele that trusted me with their furry family members, and now I’m excited to build those same connections here in the Nampa/Boise area! ❤️ I know every pet has their own little personality, routine, and quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pup needs a long walk, extra playtime, a little patience, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I want them to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll treat your babies like my own and make sure they get the attention and activity they deserve. I’d love to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶💕 I work full time as a dog groomer and truly prioritize daily and weekly pet care. for 13 years i walked, fed and primarily cared for my family pets and for the past 6 years have been honored with working in dog handling and grooming. As a professional dog groomer, I have 6 years of hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments, and personalities, along with 13+ years of caring for my own pets. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine, respect their boundaries, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m familiar with senior pet care, giving medication with meals when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs extra patience or attention. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions, and treat your pets like my own. ❤️
About: It’s my goal to give you peace of mind while you are away. I provide frequent updates with photos, I give your pet(s) lots of love & attention, and strive to make you feel delighted by returning to a sparkling clean home. I am currently taking time off of work while studying online. This makes me available for frequent walks, potty breaks, and any other needs. I love going on long walks and being outside which makes pet sitting the perfect match for me at this time. I typically care for pets in my clients homes while they are away on vacations or weekend trips. I am flexible and due to my open schedule I am able to take care of pets with a wide range of needs.

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.
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 Fort Wilson 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 Fort Wilson 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 Fort Wilson 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
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.
