“Cierra was great! She arrived at the time she was scheduled to and took good care of my dogs. She stayed over night and sent me updates and photos of the dogs during her visit. When I got home the house was just how I left it and the dogs were very happy. She did an excellent job and I look forward to using her services again! Thank you, Cierra!”

“Rylie was very responsive and very attentive to our pups. She also sent great photos. She has great experience with her own dogs and with her work at a doggy day care and was very comfortable when a last minute issue came up and knew which issues she should contact us about.”

About: What sets me apart is how much genuine love and care I have for animals. I don’t see pet sitting as just a job—I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m very attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule that changes from week to week. This gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention, love, cuddles, and companionship they deserve. I am a huge animal lover and will always make sure your pets are cared for properly and treated with kindness. I am gentle, patient, and comfortable around all types of animals. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority, and I would never intentionally put an animal in harm’s way

“Bobbie was wonderful! My husband and I were scrambling to find a sitter last minute after our original plans with a friend fell through. I was very nervous to have someone new come stay with our dogs, but we really had to trust Bobbie and her already great reviews. She sent us lots of pictures and updates each day that made us feel very comfortable with how Lady & Olive were settling in with her. When we got home there was a very sweet little care package she had left us, with handwritten updates on each day with the dogs and when they went potty or played. Her attention to detail was incredible! Don't hesitate to schedule with Bobbie!”

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.

About: We provide boarding for your cat or dog in a family-based environment. We try to keep a structured and caring home environment for pets while their owners are away. Our goal is to keep the experience for you and your pet as safe and stress free as possible. Additionally, I have First Aid and CPR Certification for cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free Certified means I was trained to look at subtle signs of stress in dogs and cats before they escalate. As well as techniques to make interactions with dogs and cats less stressful. My husband works from home, and I'm also at home with my children. During the school year I do drop off and pick up for the kids. My husband is home at this time. Therefore, dogs are generally always supervised, although there may be brief periods of time we are all out of the home. We have an area designated for the dogs in our home. This helps reduce the risk of escaping and helps keep them more safe. We also have a fenced in backyard. However, we always supervise interactions in the backyard between dogs or when the dogs are alone.

“Katy is an absolute gift to the Rover community. Leaving our dog and cat with a non-family member for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Katy immediately put all our anxieties to rest. From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our pets adored her. Even my normally shy cat—who usually hides from visitors—came right out to greet her. Honestly, it felt like our pets had known her in a past life; that’s how comfortable they were! ​Katy is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond. She asked all the right questions, sent some of the best photos of our pets we’ve ever seen, and even came early and stayed late to make sure our dogs got extra potty breaks. Her detailed updates and genuine kindness made being away so much easier. I almost hesitate to leave this glowing review because I know everyone will want to book her, but she truly deserves it. If you book with Katy, you won’t regret it!”

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, bearded dragons, and exotic animals. I have worked on farms, volunteered at exotic animal shelters, and pet sat for friends, family, and Neighbors. I'm experienced with young pets, potty training, and Senior care. I'm also a quick learner and can help with training when instructions are explained beforehand. I'm comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I'm a full-time college student, but I do not have classes on mondays, Wednesdays or fridays, giving me plenty of time to care for, play with, and give attention to your pets. I'm also available on weekends and for over the weekend stays. For safety and the well-being of both your pets and my own, I'm unable to host pets in my home because I have several animals myself. I'm happy to provide care in your home where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety, trust, and a clean, comfortable environment for every pet I care for. At home, I regularly care for my own cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals, including feeding, freshwater, play time, exercise, clean up, and maintaining their daily routines. I have also dog sat and cared for pets belonging to friends and family including while they were away on vacations or weekend trips. Before caring for a client's pet, I prefer to receive a written list of their needs, routines, medications, feeding instructions, or any special care they require. A text message is perfectly fine as well. I'm a quick learner and willing to follow whatever instructions are necessary to help your pet feel safe, happy, healthy, and well cared for.

About: I am 30 years old and have been caring for dogs and cats for about 12 years. As a teenager my foster mother was also a puppy foster parent. She would take litters at a time plus her four dogs, we learned all about how to care for dogs. I am very good at training puppies as that was mainly what I did as a teenager. I am available 6 days a week minus Tuesdays. I available anytime after 4pm or from 9am during the week, as my father goes to work so he would have to drop me off. This does not apply to me as I cannot offer care in my own home as I have to many animals currently in my household

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was ten, I even have 5 of my own, so I'm experienced in behaviors, grooming, and administering medications if they're needed. I can do overnight stays and check ins during the day. I can do fill day stay overs, but will need a few days notice to make it work. Im very big on slow introductions and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable around me. My own dog and cats are rescues so I know how nervous new introductions and new people can make animals.

About: Hello fellow fur parents! I'm Caitlin, I am a fur mama myself, not to just those I own, but to everyone else's pets but to also the strays. I know how it feels to have to leave your furbabies in someone else's care, especially to someone you never even met. It's worrisome and not a go-to situation. But I can put your mind at ease. I promise, your pet will be cared for and treated as if it were my own child too. I love all animals, no discrimination of species, breed, age, health problems, nothing. Caring for animals is what I love and do best. I love being able to give others the sense of relief knowing they left their animals in good hands and can enjoy their time away without having to worry. And to make you feel extra comfortable, I send videos and pictures along with detailed updates every couple of hours. So go on and take that weekend get-away, family vacation, road trip & know you left your babies with someone reliable and trustworthy. I have years of experience including professional. I also caretake in livestock with extra charge. With my current schedule, I am available in the late afternoons, evenings and nights, including overnight stays. I will only be away for the mornings until the late afternoon for work. Your furbaby will then have their entire afternoon to play outside to their hearts content, get some dinner, then enjoy their evening/nights getting all the lovins and relaxion until it's time to sleep. I have a dog of my own along with 2 cats. Your dog will have to be cat friendly to stay. No exceptions. I have large yard with plenty of space to run. It is not fenced but it is far from the road and any dangers. They will be attended to at all times, so they will always be safe.

About: Since loosing my boy Copper I thought what better way to get that hole he left in my heart filled . I have lots of love to give if thats what your furry friend needs or lots of space if they prefer that to. My love for our fury friends runs very deep. & i have experience caring for them all! Im very active so there would be no worry on your pet missing a walk or play time. My husky was reactive on a leash so im always careful and hyper focused on my surroundings when on walks or doing anything outside with them. I have a small fenced in area of my yard that goes off my deck, an about an acre of unfenced for leashed strolls ,along with some wooded area that has a small loop around it perfect for sniffs! I also know of some secluded hiking spots for any reactive dogs that need longer walks and space from others. Saftey is most important to me, so im kind of a helicopter mom when it comes to any pet in my care! My husky was on severel medications for seizures and arthritis so I am used to scheduled medication as well. I have a giant garden and live a small homestead life. So I am almost always home except when i work my part time job. I have a small fenced in yard for them to relax in or go potty , along with a small wooded area with a loop for all the sniffs ! My area is safe and quiet as well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ida

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,032 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ida. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Ida 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 Ida 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ida 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ida. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
