“Emily did a fantastic job with my dog Jack. She went beyond what we asked and made sure Jack had the best week full of walks and cuddles. We got regular updates and photos, and everything looked great when we got home.”
“Highly recommended. We hired Nicholas to care for our Great Danes and my plants for 10 days. He stayed in our home and took fabulous care of our girls. Nicholas sent daily updates and pictures. He, also, reached out with questions that came up along the way. When we arrived home, our house was spotless, my plants and our pups were healthy and happy. I will reach-out to Nicholas for future visits.”
“The best dog sitter I have ever had!!! We received multiple updates a day with lots of pictures of a very happy dog, constant communication, and she went above and beyond what we asked for walks, attention, etc. Could not recommend more!”
“Absolutely amazing pet/house sitter!!! My 2 French Bulldogs were the happiest I’ve ever seen them have spent 2 nights and 3 days with THE BEST and most kindest, thoughtful and conscientious Sarah.! She was in touch with me several times per day to ease my worry about how Rex and Mochi were Doing, she stayed at the house most of The time to be with them as they are companion dogs and really need their human around to feel safe and secure, and send me adorable videos and photos that wanted my heart to see the fun slumber party going on while we were away. Do not hesitate to hire Sarah and have her stay at your home..she is kind, detail-oriented and finishes the job as strong as she started we felt our home and precious pets were in the best of hands the entire time!!!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, and honestly, my life just doesn’t feel complete without them. I’ve had 3 dogs, 3 cats and lots of different animal. Ever since I was little, I’ve always been gentle and caring with every animal. Animals aren’t just pets to me they’re family. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just making sure they feel safe and happy. I’m studying psychology and hope to combine that with my love for animals in the future, maybe as a vet or through therapy work. For now, I bring experience, care, and a lot of love to every pet I get to look after. I’m currently working part-time until September 15. I usually work 12–7 PM, and my days off are Thursdays and Fridays, so I’m free all day then. On other days, I’m available for dog walks in the morning before work or in the evening after. I have a house back in my home country in Europe, and I currently have a dog and a cat. My dog lives inside but gets lots of outdoor time, and my cat goes in and out as she pleases. I walk my dog three times a day, and sometimes we go on long hikes. I really believe dogs should spend as much time outside as possible, get plenty of exercise, love, and a good diet. In my home, pets are safe, happy, and super well cared for. I’d give the same care, attention, and love to any pets I look after making sure they’re happy, safe, and well taken care of.
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs for many years and want to broaden my doggy friends! I trained my black lab puppy and also had an another black lab my entire life who lived 16 years, so I am skilled with older and younger dogs. I am a recent college graduate home for the summer and I love dogs. Just looking for things to do and may as-well make it enjoyable!! I have a condo perfect for dogs. I am very respectful and clean about other people’s spaces. Dogs are my besties and I am excited to meet more!!
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of animals my entire life, but the furry kind are my favorite! I’ve been trusted to care not only for others for babes but also human babies, too. I’m very reliable, trustworthy and patient. I do also foster dogs and puppies of all breeds and with all kinds of different needs or “issues”. As an adult I have my own fur gang, one being a reactive pup with lots of big feelings. I’ve done lots of training with him which in turn has pushed me into learning a lot more about dogs from a behavioral/psychological position. I’ve decided to branch out into pet care on a more professional level because I myself have found it difficult to find someone to care for my fur babes as I expect. As I have high standards for their care, I have high standards for myself when caring for others. I will treat them with kindness, compassion, understanding and love. I will send updates with photos, if desired, and will be home with them more then i’m away. I will take them outside to play ball, tug or whatever their favorite game is and I will also snuggle them if they choose to. I will whole heartedly love and treat them as my own to ensure they’re happy, healthy and safe while you’re away! I am happy to assist with any home needs as well. Mail pickup, plant care, lite house cleaning etc. I am a very organized and clean person and guarantee to leave your home at minimum as clean as you left, if not cleaner. My husband and I are business owners, and I work remotely. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to stay with your fur babes as little or as much as desired. I take pride in following any directions, guidelines, or rules set in place by each family as every pet, family and home is different from the next.

While I do work full-time, I will make time for any pet in need, whenever you need it!

I make sure that all pet's routines is met fully, that their energy needs are fully met and that they are healthy all day long, otherwise I'll make sure that they have the care they need!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ketchum
Andrew and Alison were awesome! They loved our dogs and took great care of them! They are clearly knowledgeable and passionate about dogs too! Andrew asked questions in the beginning to make sure their stay was as comfortable as possible. We got pictures and updates and our dogs were so happy!
Both my dogs recommend Adam. His calm nature and laid-back personality helped them feel relaxed. He was the perfect buffer to help introduce a new dog into my household. Really appreciated his handyman abilities, helping me program devices and keeping the new condo up to speed. He is an enthusiastic dog walker, so there was plenty of exercise for the new pup. We all enjoyed making his acquaintance and look forward to booking him again.. Pam, Ace and DeeDee

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 Ketchum 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 Ketchum 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 Ketchum 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.
