“Brant was so awesome! He was very communicative, and gave awesome updates and pics. My shepherd is wary of strangers and takes a while to warm up but she immediately took to him and was so comfortable with him! Also was super respectful of our home. Will definitely book him again!”
“Ryan and Rebekah did a fantastic job house sitting for us while we were out of town. Our pups got lots of walks, fetch time, and cuddles. One of them worked from our home during the day so the pets were never alone for super long. I really appreciated all their effort and communication during the stay. I highly recommend Ryan and Rebekah!”
“Ann was great with Ozzie and Izzie for a week sitting at our home. We were able to have several pre-meetings at our house to go over details and get more familiar with each other and to gain confidence that she could handle both dogs. She kept us posted with pictures and communicated daily with us. Both dogs really enjoyed her while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will be looking to use her in the future.”
“Lacey and her family watched my home and two dogs for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They took great care of our house and left it super clean, sent pictures of my fur babies every day, and were very quick and easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend, will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Mallory did a great job of watching our dog Cooper. She and Emily were very responsive to any messages, very professional with the set up of the services and we were very stress free leaving the dog with them. Will absolutely be booking again in the future.”
“Kris was great with our fur babies!! I would definitely recommend. She sent us pictures everyday and let us know how they were doing. She’s easy to work with and kept our house in order too. Thank you Kris!!!”
“Iris is great. She sent a few pictures of my doggie girls while we were away and cleaned up after them after they chewed up sticks that they brought in through the doggie door. (They do this daily!)”
“Wendee did a great job with our 3 dogs & a cat over Christmas. She had to get them through severe weather for 2 days & they were as happy as could be when we returned. She communicated well with me & we hope to use her again.”

“Robin is the BEST EVER! My dogs absolutely loved having her take care of them while we went out of town. She sent so many pictures and videos of them enjoying themselves. I will 1000% use Robin in the future :)”
“Hailley watched our cat and dog for about 10 days. She communicated frequently with us during our trip and even sent photos. Our dog got a tummy bug and she went out to get chicken and made her rice and chicken. The animals seemed happy upon our return, the house and animals were clearly well taken care of.”
“This is the second time Kaitlin has taken care of our dog. She has great communication before and during the stay. I appreciate her updates and the pictures she sends. It’s so nice having someone I feel like I can trust in my home and taking care of my dog. Would definitely recommend. reaching out to her.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. My family dogs were small breed and now I have 2 large breeds and a cat. My dogs are both senior dogs and one gets medications twice daily. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing happy ears and happy tails. I’m here for the ones that just need company or the ones who need a break from being inside. I’m currently not working and I am studying for exams so I have open availability for the time being. I’m open to early mornings or late nights. Pets are their own individual beings and it’s important to care for each as they need and not fall into the collective mindset. I gain clues from being with the animal and always start slow and cautious to gain their trust. I always make sure pets are cared for, clean, and happy as can be.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Idaho Falls
Rebekah & Ryan were great! Upon meeting them at our meet & greet we felt totally comfortable leaving them with our 2 dogs! They watched our dogs in our house overnight. They sent us photos of our dogs. Our dogs looked like their happy selves! When we returned home, our home looked just as we had left it! Communication was great with Rebekah & Ryan! We're so happy that we've found them & well use them again in the future!
Lacey and her family watched my home and two dogs for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They took great care of our house and left it super clean, sent pictures of my fur babies every day, and were very quick and easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend, will definitely be booking her again in the future.
This is our second time with John. This time we were gone for two weeks and were nervous about leaving our pups for so long. With John we had absolutely nothing to worry about. The dogs were great when we finally got home. The pictures he sent every day showed us how happy they were and how well they were being treated. John stayed overnight the whole time and the house was just as we left it. John's extremely reliable and conscientious; we can't recommend him enough!
Absolutely amazing! My animals adored her and she was so on top of sending updates and ensuring that my little furs were comfortable and well cared for. I had no worries about them while I was gone, and that’s really saying something. She’s an exceptional animal caretaker and she’ll love on your animals like they are hers ♥️
Jessiny was fantastic with my animals! She kept them happy and I have a very needy toy Aussie that gets depressed when we leave and she kept her happy by throwing her ball for her everyday. She also gave my cat his antibiotics and his eye drops morning and night! She kept the house clean and tidy! She sent pics through out each day also. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely be using her for future vacations!

FAQs for House Sitting - Idaho Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Idaho Falls on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Idaho Falls. 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 Idaho Falls 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 Idaho Falls 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 Idaho Falls 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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.
