“Cailin went above and beyond our expectations while taking care of our 2 dogs. They were loved and we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. I cannot recommend her highly enough! We have found a perfect sitter with Cailin.”
“Sage took wonderful care of our babies and home while we were away. We had such peace of mind knowing that they were cared for. We have two dogs with VERY different personalities and sage was able to give them both the attention they needed. Sage was always quick to respond and very easy to work with!”
“Chenaniah was great! She played a lot with our pup and made sure to send us photos. I would highly recommend her! Plus our house was so clean when we got home so that was awesome! 🩷”
“Kristi was absolutely amazing. We have a senior dog with medical issues and she never left his side. She was extremely communicative and extremely responsive. She attended to his every need. We couldn’t even tell she had been there~the house was left in perfect condition. I highly recommend her services. We are forever grateful.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life. I pay close attention to their needs and always give them the best care. I will make sure they are taken care of the best way possible I work full time but am available at night and durning the weekends. I can also swing but at any time to make sure they are happy. I will follow all instructions while watching your loved one in your home. I can also bring them to mine if needed for a short time.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and senior pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets over the years. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, attentive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have flexibility to provide dependable care and attention throughout the week. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, or companionship, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and maintaining the routine they’re used to while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and a safe environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I treat every home with respect and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they’re away.
“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!!”
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.
About: I have enjoyed and cared for dogs all my life and spent many years participating in Agility training and trials with my Blue Heeler/GS Pointer. I have raised puppies and tended to them throughout their long lives. I am a sucker for a white-faced senior dog! I met my husband over 30 years ago when he was a veterinarian and I was a veterinary technician. If your pet needs medication I am happy administer it for you. I am retired and I have many free days and nights for pet sitting and dog walking. I am flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule. Your dog is welcome in our home and on our furniture, and will be treated as one of our own. I have solid fencing on 3 sides of my backyard, with a metal fence on one side. (4 feet high with 3 3/4 inches between the vertical rails.) I will supervise your dog in the yard or take them outside on a long lead, as needed. I appreciate clear instructions on how you would like your pet cared for, and I will follow them respectfully. Does your dog have a favorite toy? Are there specific training guides you would like reinforced? Do they prefer to play alone or with other dogs? Just let me know what they need and I will be happy to accommodate them whether at your home or mine.
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.
“Candy was amazing! Was not quite sure about outcome when leaving(very protective of our pet) but Candy put me to ease immediately! She tended to our pets needs plus more. Got pictures and reassurance “Mavie” was fine. Even with a sudden unexpected emergency of her own she never wavered on her responsibility. Thankful for Rover for providing Candy❤️”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 531 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murphy. 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 Murphy 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 Murphy 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 Murphy 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.
