About: Hi, I’m Arica! I’m a caring, dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly couldn’t imagine it any other way. I currently have one cat, three dogs, and a few birds—and yes, they’re absolutely spoiled because they’re family to me. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust and make them feel at ease. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, including cats, dogs, birds, and more. My goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I’d want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to become your trusted go-to pet sitter. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! Caring for my own pets is part of my daily routine, so looking after yours fits in naturally. I have a flexible schedule and plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and love they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys being active or prefers a quiet day full of cuddles, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable while you’re away. I currently do not offer in-home stays because our home is getting renovated and it is a little chaotic at times, but I am happy to come to you for all your pet needs!

About: I am a responsible young adult that makes connections with every pet I see. I follow directions, exceed expectations and give great experiences for the pets. I have taken care of 4 litters of puppies, dogs ranging from bernese mountain dogs to dachshunds, and multiple cats. I am a hard working college student who wants to own multiple businesses some day including and dog sitting one. Pet care fits into my daily routine because as a college student I have plenty of time in between and after classes to do what I love. I have been doing pet care for many years and it comes naturally to me. I love to be outdoors and walking dogs will allow me to do that. Making connections with pets is special to me as I am really good with animals. I will care for clients pets the same way I care for my own. Depending on the pet’s personality type I will give as much attention as possible, lots of playtime, and walks. But, on the other hand if their personality is more relaxed I might let them do what they want while still being there for them.

About: I have taken good care of animals since I was 5 and a half. I have been around animals my entire life, I have taken care and loved them since I was born. I currently have a 12 and a half year old dog that I have loved and cared for since I was 5 and a half years old. I am young to be in this business but I have been a assistant to my mother who also works for rover. I have enjoyed being a assistant so much I want to start doing it on my own. I would appreciate the opportunity to take care of more animals. I am about to be fired from my full time job because covid got to me and I could not miss so many days so I am going to something that can cover some bills I will treat a client's home like a strangers house, even if the client is a friend I will be respectful to their house rules and to their expectations. Their animals will be treated carefully and safely.

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. From my years in shelters and daycares to raising my own high-energy Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, I've learned that active breeds need mental stimulation and enrichment just as much as physical exercise. I specialize in Structured Walks. Because of my experience with working breeds and training one-on-one with a professional, I am able to focus on manners and reinforce consistent cues if your dog needs it. My priority is providing the 'brain work' that settles a dog’s mind as much as a walk settles their body. With 5 years of corporate leadership experience, I bring a level of professionalism you can trust. I treat your home with total respect, ensuring you always return from your trip to a freshly vacuumed and mopped living space, a tidy kitchen, and a spotless scooped yard. Because I deeply care about the animals I watch, I love bringing a thoughtful, creative touch to my stays by baking homemade human or dog treats for you to enjoy - if you're comfortable with me using a few pantry staples -and even creating custom, pen sketched or hand-painted watercolor portraits of my furry clients as a special keepsake to welcome you home. My ultimate goal is your absolute peace of mind, knowing your home is secure and your pet is in expert, loving hands. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members—I look forward to giving them the best part of their day (besides being reunited with you, of course!). :) My schedule is fully open after October 31st! For now, I have open availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays for house-sitting. On other days, I can house-sit before and after my shifts at work, and I may also be able to pop in during my lunch break to let them out if they are nearby. Let's help your pets live their absolute best lives with expert enrichment and active adventures! Leaving your pup and your home in someone else’s hands is a big deal, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I’m here to be your dog’s consistent, caring companion, sticking to their favorite walks, meal times, and snuggle routines. I take the trust you place in me seriously, providing active, adventure filled care that prioritizes your dog's exercise needs. I treat your house with the utmost respect, keeping things tidy, secure, and running smoothly.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and structure. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, crate routines, basic commands, and sticking closely to your pup’s normal schedule. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, and I’ll treat yours like my own, with lots of love, attention, and photo updates along the way! I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I already structure my day around my own pup, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends and can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs! I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I have a friendly German Shorthaired Pointer and a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to play. I’m also comfortable with crates and can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means lots of activity or some quiet time to relax.

About: The connection I have built with animals in my life allows me to give them the attention, love, and fun they deserve! I have experienced an array of many personalities, whether it’s bursts of excitement or perhaps they’re more timid and shy. To each their own, I will always go their pace and be ready to match their energy! For the past 5 years, I have been working a part-time job for a small jewelry and pet tag business! I have also been doing food deliveries as well. Pet care fits into my everyday schedule as I can choose my own work schedule any day of the week! I have a golden doodle named Wally at home, where he is free to roam in our fenced off backyard. Wally enjoys playing monkey in the middle while he watches his people fetch the ball for him. He loves watching horses on tv and also in real life.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, goats, and more. At one point we even had 7 dogs at once! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and over the years family, friends, neighbors, and now Rover clients have trusted me with their pets. I’ve been boarding and caring for dogs through Rover for over 3 years and truly love what I do. I’ve also spent time learning from professional dog trainers, which helped teach me proper handling, walking, and understanding different dog temperaments and behaviors. I’m a stay-at-home mom to my two boys, who are now a little older and very used to being around dogs. Because I’m home most of the day, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles throughout their stay. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers, and our home is very dog-friendly and relaxed. We have a fully fenced yard, two friendly dogs, and lots of space for your pup to feel comfortable and at home. I can also crate your dog if requested or follow any specific routines you have for them. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here because we believe pets are family too! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always do my best to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos during their stay. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two young boys who are now older and very comfortable around dogs. Because I’m home most of the day, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Your pup will get lots of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We live a pretty home-based lifestyle and don’t travel often, so I’m able to provide a consistent and reliable environment for the dogs in my care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly dogs who love having company. I’m experienced with different dog personalities and always do slow introductions to help everyone feel comfortable. I can crate your dog if requested and I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, or special instructions you provide. Dogs in our home are treated like family — including plenty of couch cuddles if they enjoy them! I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

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: I have cared for all sorts of animals, varying in size, including rescue. I volunteered at animal shelters in college and would feed, bathe, play, and walk their dogs. My husband and I have a rescue of our own, Cody, who loves meeting new friends and would love to join me in taking care of your pets needs! He is a border collie mix (30 lbs) and super playful. Just let me know if you’re okay with that when booking! I currently work full time in a medical setting but have Thursdays and Sundays to take care of your pups and kitties. I may be available some Saturdays. I currently live in an apartment, but our pup gets two to three long walks a day and plays fetch for at least 30 minutes (he has a ton of energy)! I will make sure they have gone potty, get a snack if granted, and have had lots of love during my visit! If it’s okay with you, I could also bring my pup to give yours a play date!

About: I’m 24 years old. I have grown up with big breeds all my life. At 19 years old I rescued my first small dog. Then adopted a second rescue just last year. I believe dogs are family. I would love to help you by walking your dogs, doing check ins, feeding them, or taking them to appointments. I work part time. I get to chose what I do in my free time. Which is helping others with their fur friends. Dogs are family and they deserve the best! I have two dogs of my own so I know how hard it can be to leave them to go to work or on a trip. I’m here to help. I would make sure they’re fed, happy and blow off some of the energy they may have. As well as cleaning up any messes that may take place. Walking is the best way to get that energy out. And keep them active and healthy.

Ann has been an absolute lifesaver for us! She is incredibly kind, super responsive, and always reliable—everything you could hope for in a dog walker. She’s also been very flexible with scheduling, which has made a huge difference for us. Most importantly, my dog Betty absolutely loves her. Betty gets so excited on the days Ann comes to walk her, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring and capable hands. Ann walks her three times a week, and I’ve noticed such a positive impact on Betty’s happiness and routine. I can’t recommend Ann enough!

Scott has been such a reliable and trustworthy individual to work with! At our meet and greet, we discussed expectations and goals that we have been working on with our dog and he has done amazing work with her! I have seen the results on the daily walks I take her on (we’ve been working on “heel” recently) and I love getting photo updates as well! He snaps a pic of her on their walk and then another of her with the toys & bone I have set out for him to give her at the end of the visit. He is always on time and is very communicative with me on everything! I have appreciated his dedication and kindness to our dog as well as his respect for our home. Everything is left the way we left it and he always is sure to lock the door when he leaves! We have been working with him for 3 weeks now and plan to continue using his dog walking services indefinitely 😁

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Nampa is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,422 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nampa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Nampa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Nampa after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
