“I feel confident leaving my animals in the care of Caitlynn. She was kind, great with the animals, and communicative. I will absolutely be booking her again when the need calls!”
About: I have walked and boarded dogs for 10 years. I am new to Rover. I love taking dogs for walks and getting them some exercise and enrichment. I work 9-5, with time for walks during lunch, before work, and in the evenings. Weekends can include up to three walks a day, including longer walks. At home, or with clients, dogs get a good watchful eye to ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. With an adventurous pup of my own, I am careful to remove any “escape opportunities”
About: I'm the go-to pet-sitter for people whose friends all have pets. I've been dogsitting consistently in single- and multi-pet households since 2014, establishing a personal, trusted rapport with pets and their families. I've worked with pets young and old, engaging in regular exercise, medication administration, and plenty of belly rubs. I've been the proud owner of pets throughout my life, from a lovable German Shepherd to a spunky Yorkie. And I've watched a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages (senior pets are my current niche), from high-energy Brittanys to homebody New Foundlands, mini- and full-sized doodles, Boston terriers, poodle mixes, bully mixes, and cattle mixes. I live in Boise's Winstead Park neighborhood but have worked with clients in Eagle, Meridian, and Barber Valley — just ask! I'm available for low-risk meet-and-greets with your pets. I'm a remote worker with an active lifestyle (rock climbing, circus arts, etc.), so being away at a job doesn't get in the way of quality pet care. I'm available for sitting 7 days a week on short- and long-term notice, and rarely gone from the home more than a few hours at a time. Message me about additional walk and drop-in availability! I fully believe that keeping pets in your home is the safest, most comfortable option for them while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, caring for pets and plants, bringing in mail, feeding fish, locking doors and gates, and completing other household responsibilities. Responsive communication is a big priority for me, so I respond quickly and check-in regularly with photos, videos, and messages while you're away. My friends, family, or partners are never in your home. Similar to being in the outdoors, I operate with a leave-no-trace attitude. I clean up after myself, wash towels and bedding, and run dishwashers before departure. In most cases, you'll never know I was there, except for a happy pet whose thrilled to see you when you get home. I do not offer pet-sitting or dog-sitting services in my home at this time. ⭐More reviews!⭐ "Skylar was absolutely great and would highly recommend! One of our dogs is doodle who is anxious and shy. Skylar was so patient with him and really took her time getting to know him at his speed, which we greatly appreciated. Skylar was also super prompt, had amazing communication regarding updates on our dogs, and took great care of our house and plants. We will for sure be using her again!" - Taylor M.
“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.”
“Liz and Anna were great. It’s pretty apparent they love dogs as my pups were in good hands. They were also very thoughtful in their questions to understand my needs while I was away. Highly recommend them!”
“Morgan was excellent in taking care of our bashful cat. Seeing pictures of the two of them getting along so splendidly made us relax and enjoy our vacation even more!”
“Sara was exceptional in caring for my two whippets during my ski trip to Bogus. She arrived right on time for their dinner, followed all instructions perfectly, and provided detailed updates throughout her visit. Her genuine care for my dogs and professionalism make her my go-to pet sitter. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve lived with cats of my own my whole life. I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats since I was 8. I’ve always grown up around dogs and have a love for any and all pets! I am a full time student at Boise State University, but have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to care for your pets whenever is needed. In my home we have an open loving environment for our cat that has all the essentials needed for her to thrive. I can take care of your animal in any way that you prefer and that is fitting for them.
“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: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles for over 15 years. I am familiar with the needs of senior animals and special diet or medication requirements. I am excited to get to care for your pets! I work 2 part time/ PRN positions as a phlebotomist which lets me create my schedule ahead of time, so I will have plenty of availability during the week or weekend to stop in or stay overnight. Pets cared for at your home will feel comfortable in a familiar environment. I will be able to play or take your pet for a walk around your own neighborhood.
“This is our first time hiring Crystal. Feeding our cats is kind of crazy/complicated. However Crystal did a great job with that and everything else. Sent texts and pics each day. We will definitely hire her in the future.”
“absolutely fantastic! she was always on time and never failed to send updates (especially funny pictures of the babies)! 10/10 will definitely use her every single time we leave town and have to leave the pups at home”
“Wendy is excellent! She is punctual, kind, and respectful. She is great with our new rescue dog, and takes care of her like one of her own! Wendy took time to meet our dog prior to drop in visits to make sure she’d be a good fit. I highly recommend her to take care of your pup ☺️”
About: Hello my name is Kaitlin and I am a wife and registered nurse looking to enrich my life and make extra income by taking care of your dogs! I am experienced with all breeds large and small, I have a house with a large fenced in yard. I have dog sat for neighbors as they traveled and am home most days. I walk or run 2-3 miles a day and would love to have a furry friend to join me. I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help you out and work with you to create a schedule you are happy with. I live with my Husband who is a veteran. We have two fur babies of our own. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs, and answer any questions you may have! I am available most days to walk dogs and check on them throughout the day in their own home. I do have two dogs of my own so I won’t be able to board in my home. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs and would love to have an animal sanctuary one day.
About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals most of my life, starting on my grandparent’s farm in Eastern Oregon where I spent my summers and winters surrounded by everything from dogs and cats to goats, chickens, and horses. I’ve been pet sitting professionally since I was 16, and now with over a decade of experience, I bring both passion and expertise to every pet I care for. I’m trained in animal behavior, body language, dog training techniques, veterinary care, and medication administration. I’m also certified in Cat and Dog First Aid and Pet CPR. Whether you have a puppy learning the ropes or a senior dog needing gentle, consistent care, I’ll stick closely to your routine and provide the love and structure your pet needs to feel safe and happy. I work full time at an indie pet supply store. We wake early to fit in a walk and some solid structured training and play time. I would be available to check in on your pets the same way both before and after work, with my work not starting until 9:30 am and getting out at 7:30 at the latest. When I care for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home even when their people are away. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I tailor my care to fit both your pet’s routine and your comfort level. On walks, I like to switch up our routes so your dog can explore new trails and work their brain. During drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets play, affection, and any care they need whether it’s feeding, medication, or a quick game of fetch before I leave. When house sitting, I follow your daily routine closely so your pets experience the same rhythms they’re used to. I’m happy to include walks or even pup cups and store visits if that’s something you’re comfortable with. I love including dogs in my day whenever possible, and I’m always respectful of everyone’s boundaries. Every animal is different, and every household is unique. That’s why I focus on communication, consistency, and making sure your pets feel truly cared for while you’re away.
About: Dogs love me. Owners trust me. I've spent years caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from bouncy, bitey puppies to gentle seniors who just want a cozy spot and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable managing a full household, having cared for up to four dogs at once, and I understand that every dog in the group has their own personality, needs, and quirks. As a walker, I stay alert and present, watching for other dogs, wildlife, traffic, and anything that might spook or excite your pup, so walks stay safe and enjoyable from start to finish. I've personally been a "dog mom" to two or more dogs at a time for years, so I don't just work with dogs, I live the daily rhythm of caring for them: the routines, the cuddles, the slobbery ball fetching. Above all, my goal is simple: your dog should feel safe, happy, and genuinely loved every moment they're in my care. And yes, if we're being honest, I probably like dogs more than most people. They're better listeners. I work full time as a flexible hybrid worker. This means I am available (and eager!) to pop out as needed. I'm often available 24/7 on weekends and can easily plan around your pets' needs, because that's what I'd want for my own pets. I do not offer pet care in my home, but when it comes to clients’ homes my mantra is the same as it is when venturing into the great outdoors — leave it better than you found it.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden City
Sierra was awesome with my boys! 2 large 1 year old labs that still think they're puppies. Very conscientious and reported her in home sessions with pics. Shame to lose her, but her school is and should be a priority. I would highly recommend her, if her schedule fits yours.
Karin is a gem. She has been amazing with our crazy Ellie. She also made sure she could check in on Ellie after our scheduled visits because my daughter had to stay in the hospital during her vacation. She has kept Ellie safe and happy and even put our cat inside that I left out by accident. I can't recommend her enough. She is the best!
Ashley is great! We are so glad we found her to watch our two boys. Right away upon meeting her, I could immediately tell she’s an animal lover. Our gold retriever gives a lot of kisses and leaves a lot of golden dust after which isn’t for the faint of heart. She is extremely interactive and provides lots of pets and snuggles. Ashley came to our home to check in on our pups while we were out of town. Our dogs love her! She sent pictures everyday, gave them lots of hugs and play time and made sure they had a lot of attention during her drop in. Thank you!
Drew was very committed with our boys. Our boy Banjo can be difficult leashing up. Both the dogs were apprehensive of a stranger but Drew was sweet, git on the floor with them and spent extra time. Banjo really never cooperated but Drew was still able to get him out to potty. I highly recommend Drew if you’re in the Boise area!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Garden City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Garden City 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!
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Garden City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
