About: I'm a softy for animals in general, especially dogs! I have a 9.5 yr old boxer that is getting old but gets along with any dog. I have dogsat my buddies 2 boxers multiple times, up to 6 weeks at a time. 3 boxers is a handful. Apollo is my 3rd dog and I have watched other friends dogs many times also. I have also looked after cats and birds on occasion. I'm not a trainer but I've trained my own dogs. I currently have some free time, so I'm available most times pretty quickly. I do some work online, but take my dog for a walk twice a day. Depending on the type and size of dog I would consider watching them at my house. My boxer is getting older and losing his eyesight so I have to be cautious of his health at times. I can be available between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. 7 days a week I have a fenced yard. There's a doggy door from the house to the fenced backyard that they can come and go to potty or just play. My boxer loves doggy friends and sharing his treats. I'm an animal lover and I give them plenty of attention because it also brings me joy. I enjoy dogs and will walk them or play with them as desired. I'm also available to just stop by and let them out to use the bathroom. I know these are our pet's homes and I love and care for them because I would want someone to give my dog that loving and respect!
“Kayla was awesome with my dog for drop ins! She sent me quite a few pictures with each visit and was great with communication! My dog looked so happy and I didn’t have to worry because I knew he was in good hands! I would definitely book with Kayla again and I highly recommend her!!”

“She is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for our two cats and sent at least three photos with every visit. Great communication, and very caring with our special needs animals.”
About: Ever since I was a kid we’ve had dogs, cats, and other critters around the household. I have always loved the unapologetic affection and the goofy personality that dogs bring to our lives. I genuinely care for them more than most people and value what they can bring to our every day chaos. They are furry children and deserve all the love! I work remotely from home, so your pup will always have company during the day! We can always coordinate if the dog is allowed to stay home alone as well, I’m flexible 🙌🏼 I have a spacious fenced yard and there is a lot of room in the house as well for roaming. I have some toys and water/food bowls if needed and am planning on getting a dog door put in soon!
“Kristina took great care of our two cats. We adopted them 5 months ago so they are still a little skittish but she won them over. Loved the updates, pictures and videos. Also, one of our cats threw up and she let us know right away and cleaned it up. I would highly recommend Kristina and will use her again in the future.”

“Elisa took care of my 2 old cats multiple days. She followed the instructions I left and went beyond that with extra effort. She reported through Rover each day she visited and included pictures. My cats seemed very happy with her and even let her pet them! I will definitely request Elise if we travel again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love doing. I grew up with both cats and dogs, including my chocolate Lab, Tucker, who was my best friend for 16 wonderful years. Those experiences taught me that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for my family and friend’s dogs while they’ve been away on weekends and vacations, and I love spending quality time with every pet I meet. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a French Bulldog named Hootie, who means the world to me. I work from home, so I’m with him throughout the day, and caring for him has also given me experience navigating medical needs and paying close attention to a dog’s health and routine. What sets me apart is that I care for every pet the way I would want someone to care for my own. I know how important it is to maintain their routines, respect each owner’s preferences, and make sure every pet feels like they’re with family while you’re away. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give Hootie. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I work from home and have the flexibility to adjust my day as needed. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship during the week and on weekends. I’m also happy to provide overnight care or stay in your home while you’re out of town for a weekend or longer trip. I know how important it is for pets to keep their normal routine, so I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, a midday check-in, or someone to keep them company for an extended stay, I’m excited to help and provide dependable care you can trust. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, playtime, and bedtime routines—because I know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship based on their personality and needs. Whether they love long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing on the couch for cuddles, I’m happy to give them the care they enjoy most. I also understand that trust is just as important as pet care. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep everything clean and secure, and send regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands.
About: Growing up, our house was dubbed "the zoo" in the neighborhood directory because we raised everything from dogs and cats to rabbits, snakes, hamsters, and bearded dragons. This taught me to understand, respect, and clean up the poop of almost any pet. I also spent 12 happy years with my own pup who lived a long happy life becoming ever crispier and more curmudgeonly, so I know how to be patient and gentle with your vintage doggo, keep the riffraff off of his lawn, and assure him that yes, the old days were indeed better. I am a stay at home mom, so I have a lot of time and flexibility during weekdays, as long as I can bring my one year old in tow! I'll follow you and your pet's lead when it comes to their care. Check ins will include making sure your pet is fed and watered with clean dishes, as well as happy and comfy. I'll also clean up any messes they make and keep you informed if anything seems out of the ordinary.
About: Hi! My name is Ava. I grew up with dogs all my life and have fostered dogs as well. I also have experience with other animals through fostering (cats, birds, and bunnies). I have fear-free shelter certificates in dog behavior / dog training. As well as years of experience in volunteering at Meridian Canine Rescue. I can train puppies or younger dogs, help with senior dog care, and I have experience with administering medications or helping with dogs with healthcare issues. I have also worked with dogs with behavioral complications in the past that may require more in-depth first-meetings to ensure the dogs are comfortable around me. I am a full-time college student at Boise State University. During my school days (Tuesday/Thursday), I am open to help with whatever is needed after my class times end. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I am typically completely open. If you are interested, then I will send over my schedule to see if it works with you! I have years of experience with dog enrichment, to ensure that your dogs are as happy as can be! I am also open to taking your dogs on walks as often as needed in their routine! Several of my past clients have several dogs, so I am used to walking and taking care of several dogs at the same time. I enjoy providing enrichment and fun training to ensure a healthy and fun environment for your dog. I will also help with whatever dog training that my clients will want help with- I have experience with different training fields, like training dogs to behave well in car rides or to have good walking manners.
“Corina did an amazing job taking care of our puppy while we were on vacation. She is reliable and did a great job walking and giving our puppy a lot of love. We definitely will be using Corina in the future.”

About: I am primarily on this app to be of service to our dog training clients when they go out of town. I am sometimes available to take other pets, but not always. I understand that each animal has their own personality and quirks. I am able to care for pets of any age. I have experience administering medications as well. I work full time at a dog training facility. I spend most of my free time taking care of animals. I am able to bring pups to work with me during the day, so I can potty and let them run around on my breaks throughout the day. I will either bring your pup to my house or go to yours! Whatever your preference is. I do have two dogs of my own, both are friendly to all different types of pets. We also have a cat, so my dogs know how to behave around them (not chasing, bothering, etc.) As I mentioned above, I work at a training facility and will be able to bring your pup to work with me instead of them being home alone during the day. I have lots of experience crate training dogs, and can help continue or start that training for you.
About: Hi, I’m Katelyn! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 6 years of experience dog sitting for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, so I truly understand the level of care, attention, and love our pets deserve—they’re family. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes them happy—whether that’s long walks, playtime outside, or just relaxing with plenty of affection. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive lots of attention, supervision, and care. I treat every pet the way I’d want my own to be treated—with patience, kindness, and respect. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or just cuddle, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a hybrid doctorate student, so I am home all week. I have a fairly flexible schedule, so I will be able to tailor to your animals needs. I live in an animal friendly apartment complex. My apartment has an off leash dog park and I live next to a walkable park as well.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Meridian
Five stars for Jamie! She did fantastic drop-in visits for Chewy, providing walks, feeding, and consistent updates. The photos she sent made it clear that Chewy trusted her and was in great hands. She was also highly professional and accommodating when my schedule changed. I will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, caring dog sitter! Thank you so much!
Ava was very kind, responsible, and communicative. She took great care of my pets and was especially helpful when one of my dogs wasn’t feeling well. She cleaned everything up, kept me updated, and followed my instructions carefully. I really appreciate her help.
Casey was great with our elderly little guy. She took great care of him. She was able to do drop-in visits for us twice a day to give medicine & food. She took him out for walks and sent us lots of pictures. It was great to see some pics of him each day and to get updates. I felt comfortable with her coming into our home and checking on our dog. We will be using Casey again!
Knowing that Sharene was taking care of my dogs gave me so much peace of mind while away on vacation. Her updates were great and she even did a few extra things for me around the house which I appreciated. Highly recommend and I will be rebooking with her in the future for sure!

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 Meridian 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 Meridian 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. 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 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 Meridian with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 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.
