“Alinda communicated well, was very responsive, and took good care of my cat! She is reliable and friendly. If I was living in Boise longer I would definitely rebook her again for future trips.”
“Bailey is so good with my little dog. The 2nd time she came over, Fuji saw her coming to the door and wagged her tail like crazy! Bailey has the energy to give Fuji a workout like we as seniors sometimes don't have. We are very glad to have found Bailey!”
About: I have a calm, loving energy that dogs naturally feel drawn to and relaxed by, and making new dog friends is my favorite part of being a pet sitter! I have spent my adult life living in and caring for community spaces and relations, children, animals and gardens, and I am innately dedicated to routine, safety, and responsibility, to create functional and peaceful environments. I communicate clearly and consistently so you can always know how your pet is doing! A little about me: I’m an artist with an old soul and a playful spirit. I’m comfortable with big dogs, shy cats, energetic pups, and everything in between. Their uniqueness is a part of their perfectness, and I can't help but fall in love with their honest self expression! We’ll go for long walks, smell the plants, and lay on the ground for belly rubs. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and deeply loved! I’m a student at Boise State, and I always have time gaps in my day that are perfect for dropping in to give pets a potty break, some playtime, or just a little love and company. Weekends are completely open for me, so I have lots of time for longer stays and house sitting. Spending time with animals is one of the highlights of my day, so it’s a really nice balance for school, and I look forward to it! I care for pets in their own home so they feel safe and comfortable in their routine. I follow your instructions closely, keep things tidy, and treat your pets like family. You can count on regular updates and photos so you always know they’re happy and cared for.
“Nicole is wonderful and was great with our pup while I was out of town and my husband was at work. She sent updates and photos with each visit and made sure Squid was fed, watered, walked and had potty breaks! She was friendly, professional and did a meet and greet before our booking to make sure we were all comfortable. We will definitely use her again when we need someone to drop in on and walk Squid.”
“Adrianna is a rockstar! She checks in and out of every check in to let you know when she’s there. She’s always communicates how the visit went and sends pictures. She is prompt on responding and loved my two doggies so well!”
“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!”
“Kristi is always great! She did daily drop-ins to give meds to my cat while I was in the mountains, and helped out with my other cat. She even worked around the pet sitter who was house sitting. I loved receiving all the photos from each day when I reentered cell range. It was such a great feeling.”
“Mikayla was awesome! She even helped one of our dogs with an itch spot she noticed. We think they may like her more than us now :) Would 100% use her again!”
“Atticus was great with taking care of our cats as well as being agreeable to taking care of non-pet related tasks such as taking out the garbage to the curb and bringing in packages. Atticus was communicative, agreeable to a meet and greet, and stuck to the care schedule. I would book with Atticus in the future and recommend others do the same.”
About: As a long-time animal-lover, I’ll happily care for your dog while you’re away or bring them along for a walk or hike with my own pups. We currently have two dogs and cat so I have plenty of experience to make your fur baby feel safe, loved, and cared for ❤️ I work remotely and get to spend all day with my pups. We usually go out for two shorts walks a day and then a longer walk or hike after work. Whenever meeting a new pet, I give them the space to feel safe around me. I think it’s important to let them warm up to me on their own accord. In terms of physical safety, I always ensure that pets are securely harnessed and leashed before we head out.
“Phedre has provided drop in care for our three cats several times. She’s reliable, trustable, and does a wonderful job. We highly recommend her for your pet’s care.”
“Third time booking Erin for drop in visits on my cats while out of town. She’s great with them and her updates/pictures are always detailed and nice to read. I highly recommend her services!”
“We booked Alisa for a long trip we had planned. (9 days) From the very first meet & greet, my kitties were relaxed, curious and friendly with her. She did an awesome job. She arrived on time, and from the photos, I could see the cats were curious and slowly getting to know her. She gave me just enough little commentary to know all was well and to bring me a few smiles. She reached out with a couple of relevant questions. She also made our homecoming so great...all the trash was taken out, she vacuumed up the kitty litter that they always spill out, and it was clear that they were happy campers. Thanks so much Alisa, we look forward to having you back when we travel again.”
“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”
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.
“Niki has been so helpful with our dogs. One is elderly and has been watched by her many times. This recent trip was the first time we also left our 4 yr old lab for an extended amount of time. Niki took the time to make sure our lab got exercise and both of our girls were in great spirits on our return. Everything went great!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Garden City
Alie was extremely communicative and punctual with visits! It’s clear that she cared about our cats and their wellbeing as much as we do. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was so patient and gentle that our extremely shy boy came out of hiding for her! We don’t travel a ton but if we do again in the future, we will 100% be rebooking with Alie.
Stephani was amazing! She sent me photos and updates on the boys (our cats) each day. She was even able to coax them out of hiding to eat on the 3rd day. They are very frightened of people they don’t know. She also brought in a package that was left on our front porch. We have already booked with her for upcoming care fr the boys. I highly recommend and trust Stephani!
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!
Sara handled our anxious ridden diabetic cat so well while we were gone. It was our first time putting the responsibility of blood glucose testing and insulin injections in someone else’s hands and Sara put our minds at ease while we were gone. Our kitty is not the easiest thing to put up with and we are so grateful for Sara doing it for us! We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Garden City on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garden City. 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.
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.
