House Sitting Montour

“Daniel cared for our active 16-month Australian Shepherd for 6 days. Our dog appeared happy and well cared for upon our return. Also our house was clean upon our return.”

“Kayla was amazing. Our dogs always get supper stressed when we have to board them so we tried having a house sitter. We had lots of good contact with Kayla with how the dogs were adjusting to her and the dogs seemed to like her. Kayla left the house clean.”

“Gunner was wonderful with our Newfoundland- Abby, and our cat-Wendy. He stayed in our home for 9 days, it was neat and tidy when we got back. He walked Abby daily and he kept us up to date with daily messages and pictures. Would highly recommend.”

“I cannot recommend Nikki and Britney highly enough! We traveled for the first time in years and needed someone who can manage caring for two dogs that require a little extra care. We were so nervous to leave them but were quickly put at ease. They communicated regularly and sent tons of pictures for us! They respond quickly to messages and took extra good care of our house. If I could rate Nikki and Brittney higher I would! I will absolutely book with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of Lilly, Coco, and Big Bear while we were gone!”

“Kimberly took excellent care of our pups while we were away. She sent updates and photos during her stay with them. She also took good care of our home. Leaving our dogs can be tough, but she put our minds at ease with her great care and communication. I would highly recommend Kimberly.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for years. As well as house sat for a friend who owns a farm, caring for her numerous animals. Hi! I currently work at 9 AM to 5 PM job and can make it home around 12 PM to 1 PM for a lunch break to take the dog to the bathroom and/or a walk. This would make it so the dog will go 4 hours between potty breaks. I have full availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with plenty of space for a dog to run around safely. We board dogs often and have puppy proofed it for safety.

“We are so grateful to have found Ashley here on Rover! She took such great care of our Lab, Lilah, our shy kitty and our home while we were away. She played with and walked our dog often and send cute picture updates. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone.”

About: I am a veterinary assistant and have worked and surrounded myself with animals my whole life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked with vets, and was a dog handler and a doggie daycare over the past few summer years. I have experience with cat, dogs, fish, rodents, reptiles, and more. I love hiking and spending time outside as well, so hikes with dogs are more than welcome! I recently moved to Boise and am excited to get to know the area, so taking your dog on walks is the perfect excuse for me to explore ;) I work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm so i before and after my shift I can take care of your furry, scaly or slimy friends! I also don’t work weekends at all so my availability is wide open! When working with animals in their own homes, I think it’s important to understand you’re coming into their space and to work slowly to earn their trust! I have worked with many different animals and know how to read body language, so if your pet is uncomfortable I know how to work with them and listen to their needs.

“Erin was awesome!! She was quick with responding, provided pictures and updates of Max while we were gone and had a great fenced yard that Max loved 😃. Will definitely use her again!!”

“Susie is a dream. Not only does our dog love her and her dogs, she goes above and beyond if you’re having a crisis across the country!! I can’t recommend her enough.”

I use low-stress, force-free handling techniques to create positive experiences and help pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide personalized care that matches their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, scaled, etc!) family members and providing them with the same love and attention they receive from you. I am currently looking for full-time work, but when I do overnights, I stay there every night after work, and in the past, I have been able to come during my work shift to do potty breaks, etc. I will update this as soon as I hear about employment. I come to the clients' home, and I come over beforehand to see everything. I prefer written instructions whenever it is possible for the owner to leave them.

“Alyssa did a wonderful job with our three boys. She kept us updated and went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly for our return home. We will definitely use Alyssa again in the future!”

“Candy is lovely, great with our older dogs and young cat, and she followed our overly indulgent care instructions for our spoiled girls to a tee. Our apartment was immaculate when we returned, which isn’t easy with 2 dogs and a cat. We have already asked her for another booking, so we’d obviously recommend her.”

Kerry T.

“Kristi is amazing! So happy to have found her to stay with our 2 small dogs, 1 of them with extreme anxiety. Kristi came over several times before we left for the day to help our anxious dog have some familiarity. We appreciated it very much!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up with dogs and cats and have loved being around them for as long as I can remember. These days, I’m a proud dog mom to two bulldogs and a Bengal cat, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities, quirks, and routines that come with having pets. ❤️🐾 I truly believe pets are family, and when they’re in my care, I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pup wants to play, go for a walk, get some extra belly rubs, or simply curl up next to someone, I’m happy to give them the attention and love they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and my goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I am currently a stay at home mom while helping My husband with his business. I have a lot of availability and flexibility to make myself available for pretty much any times needed. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I like to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I know that pets are most comfortable when their routine stays familiar, so I make sure to follow their owner’s instructions and pay attention to their individual personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I keep things clean and tidy, make sure pets are safe and comfortable, and provide regular updates and photos so their owners know how they’re doing. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, loved, and comfortable while their family is away! 🐾❤️

“Our dog seemed to love her. It is hard to review because the poor woman became sick right after coming to sit. Given the fact that she was sick the entire time, she was a trooper. We will have her back again.”

Beth F.

“Very pleased with Cailin's week spent with our 2 goldendoodles at our home. She tended to our many outdoor plants. The house was clean and welcoming when we walked in the door. Thank you, Cailin!”

About: I want to learn more about how to help animals, so I recently started volunteering at the local humane society again, after a long break when life got busy. While I love all animals, most of my experience was with dogs, giving them walks and assisting with socialization playgroups to help alleviate their kennel stress and help them get more likely to get adopted. In addition, I took behavioral classes for dogs at my time at the humane society. I also had dogs of my own, including one who was very reactive to his environment, which I also went through training for. I also had some experience in helping my dogs through illness during their lifetime. They were my babies, and I understand how precious pets are to their families. While I can't replace a pet's loved one when they aren't physically around, I want to be there for them during those uncertain times. I'm available at any time, as long as I don't have a prior commitment! Hanging out with animals is probably way better than what I was going to do anyway. While I am fairly new to petsitting in this capacity, I have petsit for friends' cats and dogs in the past. I enjoyed the process of gaining the trust of the animal by respecting their space, and giving them affection whenever they wanted to try coming up to me. I always appreciated getting as much information from the owners as possible, so I knew whether the animals had any allergies, or what bothered them, or if they needed any special kind of care. I loved texting the owners photos of what their pets were doing, as well as providing updates.

About: My first best friend was an Akita and his name was Marshall Coyote. My parents say, he decided I was his human and we were inseparable. I’ve always had a sweet spot for dogs and all animals. I've grown up with dogs and other animals my whole life and I miss that connection. So I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. One of our family pups just passed away and I know I can put this grief into something positive by spending time around with other pets. I want of pup of my own and I really want one. But I’m not at a place in life to have that responsibility. Because it is a huge responsibility and I believe they deserve the best life possible and be taken care of right. So I’m waiting until I’m more stable with career and have time for it. One day I’ll have created a life that will allow for me to have a fur baby of my own. So I have a lot of extra energy and give your pet love and attention. Help me help you! I’m currently working part time delivering so I drive around for drop in, walks and feeding. I live in a spacious apt. That I’m also happy to have your pet come to me. And can do overnighters. My spacious apartment in Capitol Hill can provide for room to roam. Can be able to crate pup if needed. I have a balcony so fur babe can hang outside and get some fresh air often if needed. No yard but lovely area for walks and parks nearby.

“Lana was very good with my difficult dogs. I have 2 German Shorthair pups and a very old and sick lab. I would have cancelled my trip but had already paid for everything. Annie is unable to walk on her own and getting close to the end. Lana was both compassionate to Annie and patient with the two crazy puppies. She also fed my llamas and started a fire in the fireplace for our return. Its very hard to go into a strangers home and care for spoiled dogs. I'm very happy with the experiences I've had using Rover.”
