About: Dog lover with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from Dachshunds to Great Danes. Comfortable with puppies, seniors, multiples and cats. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, and am passionate about caring for them. I work from home, so I have flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care. I’m available for walks from 6-10AM and drop-in visits between 6AM and 3PM on most weekdays. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, keep walks safe and enjoyable, make sure your pet has fresh water and attention during drop-in visits, and always treat your home with the same care and respect as my own. I’ll also send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“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!”
“Emily is the best cat-sitter that we have ever had! She was responsive and trustworthy, and friendly to boot! She was understanding and flexible and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was well cared for. I can't recommend her more highly.”
About: I've been a professional Dog walker since I was 18 years old, almost 20 years ago. For the past several years I have specialized in dogs that have aggression or behavioral issues. I have done house sitting, boarding and overnight at my clients houses. I looked after, Dogs, Cats, even Lizards and Fish for people on vacation. I look forward to walking your dog or helping with your animals while you enjoy a vacation. I plan on walking your dog for at least 40 minutes, not including pick up time. I start my picks every morning around 11am. Monday through Friday. I can walk weekends on special occasions. I will visit for house sitting up to 3 times per day. I limit my dogs walks to 6 dogs or less. I prefore Medium sized dogs and up, but i'm open the smaller dogs on a client by client basis. I will the dog solo to or 3 times before introducing him into the group. I want him to get used to me and see how he behaves at the dark park.
“Holley was very pleasant. She was the only one willing to take a last minute appointment and was actually very easy to work with. My shy cat, though typically hid under the bed, was starting to open up to her on the last day. Otherwise, the house was in great condition when I returned!”
“Thank you, Ron and Monica, for taking wonderful care of our little Tiger girl. We cannot thank you enough for making sure she is secure, happy and well fed while we are out of town. And the fact that she is comfortable with you both--means so much to us. You are the best! :)”
“debbie and ryan went above and beyond. they were the best pet sitters we have ever had and we will definitely continue to use their services. 100% recommend them, you will not be disappointed!! we feel safer leaving our pets at home when we go on vacation now, which is huge because we go away a lot. thank you debbie and ryan!”
“This was our first experience with Claire.She was reliable and took good care of our pets.I appreciated her prompt replies and daily photos. I would recommend her. Kate. Ballston Spa”
About: For more than 40 years, I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats of my own. After my last Boxer passed away in 2022, I found a new way to share that love by caring for—and spoiling—the pets of others. I’ve provided excellent pet- and housesitting services on TrustedHousesitters in the Boise area for the past year, earning 20 five-star reviews. Many of my sits have been with repeat hosts, which reflects the trust and dependable care I provide. My experience includes dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and even beetles. Before moving to Boise, I spent 14 years fostering dogs and providing pet-sitting services in the Atlanta area. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to follow instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and affection. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked as a project manager in the technology industry. As I transition into a more personally fulfilling career, I’m excited to devote more time to animals and give your pets the same thoughtful, reliable care I would want for my own. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and thoroughly spoiled while you’re away. I currently work full-time as a pet sitter, so caring for pets is my primary focus. I’m able to organize my schedule around each client’s needs and your pet’s established routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and overnight stays. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and night, including 24/7 overnight care, and I’ll work with you to create a dependable schedule that helps your pet feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with a strong focus on safety, trust, and consistency. I carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pet’s individual needs, routines, feeding schedules, medications, and preferences are respected. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, taking them on a walk, or enjoying outdoor exercise together, I remain attentive to their surroundings and comfort. I take safety precautions during every visit and activity so your pet can feel secure and relaxed in your absence. You can count on me to provide dependable, thoughtful care while treating your home and your pet with the same respect I would expect for my own.
About: Hi, My name is Meah! I’ve spent my entire life around animals as big as horses and as small as crickets. Currently I own and did most of the training for my 2 dogs named Luna (a white husky), and Gus (a chocolate lab/blood hound). I also have Heffley (a leopard gecko). In the past I’ve owned 2 basset hounds and 3 cats. My blood hound has medical needs due to having severe allergies and stomach issues, resulting in me now having experience in medicine administration, medicine injection, and dog first aid. I also spent a long time caring for my senior basset hound (princess) who had severe bone deformities and mobility issues. I’m currently working part time on a schedule that I can move around very easily to be available for your pets needs. Times after 4 pm can be challenging currently but can be worked around with proper notice and communication. :) I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to providing a safe, stress free experience for both pets and their owners while they are away. I also provide regular photo updates and reports so you can stay informed and have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Not only have I grown up with dogs my whole life but I have dog sat for many years and I have worked at a doggy daycare! My experience has given me the confidence in recognizing dog behaviors. NO BREED DISCRIMINATION HERE! I have worked with dachshunds and frenchies to Pit bulls and Rottweilers. I can’t wait to meet your pups! I have flexible schedule for my day job that allows me time to stop by and check on your pets! I also have most of the weekends off. With my experience with being a lead at the doggy daycare, I was trained how to give medication such as pills. I also had a dog with diabetes growing up and have experience administering insulin. I love spending time with pets indoors snuggling or outdoors on walks!
“We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of our dog, followed all of our instructions exactly, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She also spent time hanging out with our dog instead of just stopping by to feed and leave, and that meant a lot to us. On top of that, she was willing to help us on very short notice after our original plans fell through, and we really appreciated her flexibility. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative Rover sitter!”
About: I have always had dogs and puppies throughout my life, and took an interest in animal care around 10 years old. I have experience with training and health-care for all ages. I have had jobs as a kennel attendant, and have volunteered with shelters for play/enrichment, and transportation to special vet trips requiring road trips to Emmett. Studied animal care during college, and have worked in healthcare for over 10 years. I am currently working a full time day job, but open to evenings and weekends. Looking forward to adding some fur baby visits to my routine. In your home, I'm more than happy to follow the rules and expectations. I am happy to play, walk, and make sure your baby feels happy, safe, and comfortable with me.
“Katelyn has gone above and beyond with looking after our animals. During the most recent, our dog had chipped a nail and was bleeding over our floor. Katelyn cleaned up the blood and wrapped our dog’s paws to prevent further bleeding until we got home. She kept us in the loop the whole time. We really appreciate her consistent communication and her obvious care for our dogs!”
About: Hi, I’m Hailey! I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was little—always rescuing, adopting, or begging my family to let me bring home every creature I found (yes, even bugs and fish!). Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own. My home is full of love and energy. I have an 12 year-old son who is gentle, playful, and absolutely adores animals. I also have a sweet 4 year-old who keeps to herself and doesn’t interact much but loves watching the pets. Rest assured, your furry (or scaly🤪!) friends will be safe, spoiled, and treated like family here. I’m currently looking to do something I genuinely love—helping care for animals—while also earning a little extra to support my family. Your pets will be in loving, responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet them! During the summer, I have open availability, so your pets will have around-the-clock care and attention. I’m home all day and rarely leave except for quick errands. During the school year, I still offer boarding and daytime care—I work very close to home and always come back during lunch to check in. My schedule is flexible and I’m committed to making it work for you and your pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll do my best to help however I can. Your pets will be loved, spoiled, and safe here—just like family. We have a big fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, or just relax. I also have friendly dogs who love company, but if your pet prefers space or alone time, I’ll make sure their needs are fully respected. I can easily crate your dog if needed or wanted, but we’re big cuddlers over here and love letting animals sleep with us or on the couch with if that’s something your pet enjoys and that’s something you are okay with. :)
About: I’ve had many opportunities to work with and sit for multiple different types of pups/dogs as well as kittens/cats. I enjoy seeing the personalities of each that makes them unique to their breed and how they were raised. I currently work out of the home Monday-Thursday leaving room for love, play, and walks in the evening and early morning with a possibility of mid day check ins. I often house/pet sit out of my home at the location the pet lives so they are in the comfort of their own environment, however have provided space at my home in the past. Regular feedings per the request of the owner. Regular walks, play, belly rubs, and scratches. I prefer fenced yards and do have a small fenced in back yard.
About: Like many animal lovers, I raised cats and dogs the majority of my life. Even raised 9 pups from my own dog! I’d like to help take care of your pets with you. My previous work had me travel for 3 years so I understand how challenging it can be to have someone watch your pets. You wonder if they’ll be as nice, gentle, caring, and active as you are with them. (Or if your pet will pick them over you for being away so long!) I will be as, if not more, attentive to your pets while you are away. Like the title says - I’m a realtor! My schedule is open and most of my work can be done through my phone or laptop. I do go to the gym and can adjust my schedule to be morning or evening depending on your needs. Early start for my dogs! 5am walks to start their day along with clean bowls before every feeding! I use a filtered water system for them, but that’s also cleaned weekly. If your pets are like mine then all that hair is a bit messy. So, brushing is a must! They do like to get on the couch so vacuuming is a must too! No kennel for them. Just their own cots. As for bathing and grooming - as needed.
“Jessie was great! She dropped in to play with Owen while we were gone. She secured our house each time and was very good with Owen. We will definitely have her drop in again in the future.”

A happy puppy! Hannah is someone I trust with my absolute heart. When I come home, my puppy is happy and content. I can tell she’s had a good time. Hannah is reliable, easy to work with, and friendly. She will also take the best dog portraits ever! I highly suggest you book with her now!
Katelyn has gone above and beyond with looking after our animals. During the most recent, our dog had chipped a nail and was bleeding over our floor. Katelyn cleaned up the blood and wrapped our dog’s paws to prevent further bleeding until we got home. She kept us in the loop the whole time. We really appreciate her consistent communication and her obvious care for our dogs!

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!
Sharene was literally a LIFESAVER! At the last minute, a neighbor told me she was not able to pet sit for me and I had already left on my trip!! Thankfully, Sharene answered my plea for last minute help (same day even!) to check in daily for my 2 cats and make sure they were healthy & happy while I was thousands of miles away. I thank my lucky stars to have found Sharene and will DEFINITELY request her saintly services for my 2 fur babies the next time I need to travel… thank you a ma-billion times Sharene, I appreciate you more than words can express!!
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!
Sierra was an excellent sitter. I haven’t ever used rover before but I knew about it from others. Right away she was close to where I lived and had great reviews. She was quick and responsive, immediately making me feel at ease leaving town while she cared for my cat. While I was gone she sent pictures and kept my cat company. I could tell he was comfortable and loved in each photo. She went above and beyond every chance she could to make my cat feel loved and kept me up to speed the whole time. I will definitely be using her again in the future and you should too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Meridian on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,512 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Meridian. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Meridian. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
