“Madison did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. She sent multiple pictures and updates throughout each day. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Madison has a lot of love for animals, I would definitely use her again!”
“Thank goodness we found Davalyn. We were worried we wouldn’t find anyone to replace our long term sitter due to our dog’s separation anxiety. Davalyn was happy to watch our dog in our home while we were out of town. Davalyn was detailed, communicative, trustworthy and kept the dog’s schedule. We came home to a happy dog and a well maintained house.”
“Kayla was very communicative. She sent lots of updates and photos of Joy and Noel. She left our house in perfect condition and even watered our plants! We felt 100% confident in having her take care of our fur girls and they have requested that we have her back again in the future.”
“Kristi was incredible yet again! Dogs love her, house was in perfect condition when we came home. She also went above and beyond to try and help me find a sitter when she was already booked for next weekend as well. Very professional and caring :)”

I will follow any directions given to me, I love giving lots of snuggles, and will make sure that they are safe and taken care of
“I cannot say enough good things about how amazing Nikki and Britney were!!! My partner and I have to go out of town pretty often, and we've enlisted the help of many different dogsitters in the area. A few of our regular sitters have moved away, so we were looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to housesit for us and take care of our two dogs. Nikki and Britney were amazing from start to finish. We were so amazed by their kindness and energy during the meet and greet, and during their stay, they sent us so many photos and updates and stayed in constant communication. They took AMAZING care of our home and went way above and beyond to keep it tidy. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!”
About: I've had a dog in my house one way or another since high school. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly and energetic. I can feed, water, walk, bathe and play with your best furry friend. Whatever your pet needs are, they will be met. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home everyday, all day minus an errand or two every week. I have more than enough time to give your pet the care and love that is needed while your away. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard, with two very loving, energetic dogs to play with. I can either let the dogs all play or keep them separate for whatever time is needed. I am rarely gone so supervision is always guaranteed.
About: I love all animals! Since I can remember we have always had an animals in our household. I would love your animal as much as I love mine! I am very reliable and will do anything to make your animal feel comfortable and happy as well as you as their owner. I will send picture updates :) At this time I work full time. I am available Saturday and Sunday. If you need me during the week I can check my evening schedule for you! Let me know how you’d like for me to care for your animal whether they like to go on a few walks a day, play catch or just chill at home I’ll ensure they are safe and happy no matter what.
“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.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Indiana, dairy cows, steers, sheep and of course, dogs and cats. Pets are part of who am, they always have been. I haven't adopted a pet in a couple of years so life without a bestie is very lonely at times. There's just something about them... My pets have been part of who I am and I realize, when I wanted to go away for a weekend, it was very difficult taking them to a kennel or finding someone to help so, that's what I want to give. There is something about who I am and what I've learned that gives peace to furry creatures and their parents. I want to offer myself as an Aunt or a Grandma to your little/big kids (the furry ones). I spent four years working with the Golden Retriever Rescue in LA where I fostered, provided temperament evaluations, vet visits and helped find forever homes for them. I received much more than I gave, I miss having my own pet or two or three. I've helped birth pigs, puppies and a calf which creates a whole new outlook on life. Unfortunately I'm not able to have my own pet now, that is the reason why I'm here, for your pets; I love on the ones who need cuddles and I give respect to those who would rather keep their distance. It's up to you and them how I fit in. I have had butterflies land on my fingertips and dogs who were viciously barking at someone on the sidewalk, turn to me and give me butt wiggles. *that was weird!! Animals know, they just do. I moved to the Boise area in October '24 from Dallas, TX. My kids and grandkids live here so, I've been playing and experiencing how beautiful this state is. Because of all of this, my life has been wonderful and I would enjoy helping you. My intention is to come to your home while you're away. I currently rent where I live with a cat who does NOT like others taking away his attention providers. I have also taken care of him while his mom is away. I reside in her upstairs where I have shown her the respect and trust all home owners want when anyone is visiting. My life is good!
“Kaiti was absolutely amazing!!!! I highly recommend her! She took amazing care of my 4 babies during quite a chaotic time. It was post hurricane and my cat had just had major surgery. She was super flexible and provided all the special care my pets needed and even took my cat to the vet to check on his surgery wounds. She stayed with my pets at our home and left everything super clean and beautiful! She was so great and my animals love her. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life. I've even helped deliver puppies! Family and friends have relied on me to check in on their pets, give baths, feed and groom their dogs. I only work on the weekends right now so I have plenty of time during the week to give your dogs the love and care they need. I am comfortable around dogs and very energetic. I can crate your dog if needed and take your dogs on lots of walks (and I'm very mindful of how hot/cold the ground is for them).
“Melissa is AMAZING! We hate leaving our two dogs, but Melissa made it so easy, providing tons of photos and communication all weekend. She stayed in our home with the dogs and the house was spotless when we returned. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“She was responsive and good with updating me on how my cat was doing. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because she asked me to pay her on Venmo even though my payment was already processed and confirmed on the rover app. It made me nervous because I have been scammed in the past and anm hesitant on using money transfer apps. Other than that she was great.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to my sweet seniors—and I treat every dog like family. I’m experienced, reliable, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and right at home! I’m currently on summer break so I have all the time in the world right now! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine either way—I’m used to feeding, walking, and spending quality time with my dogs every day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks or evening playtime, I easily work my schedule around each dog’s needs. I have a nice sized fenced yard and two other playful dogs to keep your dog company! If that’s not the case, then I have crates for them or an area for them to be if they shouldn’t be around your dog! I’ll make sure your dog is comfortable, feels safe and gets lots of attention! I always keep the home clean and follow any special instructions given.
“Cassie was an amazing sitter for my pup. She was incredibly kind when I had to change the booking due to one of my dogs passing and she handled my grieving pup extremely well. Lots of pictures with a lovely update everyday to let me know how they were doing. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 100/10”
“My pets enjoyed having Candace coming over and she dud good stepping in when our other sitter has a family emergency. She even made friends with our one dog who does not like strangers.”
About: I have had lots of experience training dogs and caring for them at my previous vet tech job! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am very passionate about them. 🐾 I am currently working part time and I am very flexible. I’m available any time after 4pm on weekdays. On weekends I am usually always free and would love to take care of your pup or kitty anytime I am available! I have a huge fenced in yard that your pup can enjoy with my sweet fur babies. I love going for runs and will always be able to take your pup along too. Both my dogs love cats and really enjoy having them stay with us! My older dog buddy treats them just like they are his own babies! He’s a super sweety! I have a great work schedule that allows me to be super flexible! It makes it so I am able to do drop in visits or over night stays very frequently! Safety is always my main goal! I do have a doggy door that my dogs are allowed to use daily but with new pets that I am not familiar with it does stay closed and I will take dogs out with supervision only. I do have a huge fenced in back yard and it is completely in closed for their safety as well!

Laura H.
“Laura has been a renter since she moved to Idaho from Texas. First of all, she loves animals and is very good with them. My curmudgeon cat, Dusty, is VERY particular about his associations. It didn't take long after Laura moved in for him to warm up to her. He even lets her eat treats from her hands (which he won't do for me). She has done some animal/house sitting since moving here and it's been very successful. She is careful and considerate both as a renter and as an animal caregiver (she takes over with Dusty when I'm out of town). I do not worry at all when I leave home, I know that when I return, my cat will be well taken care of and my home will be lovely. Laura will do very well for Rover, she will have satisfied customers both human and animal. I give her my highest recommendataion”

Brooke M.
“I can’t recommend Brooke enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. She has been around dogs her whole life and has always had a natural connection with them. From a young age, she helped care for our family dogs—feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and making sure they felt loved and safe. She now has a dog of her own that she absolutely adores, and it’s clear that animals are her happy place. If she could, she’d spend every minute surrounded by dogs! Whether it’s going on walks, cuddling on the couch, or just making sure a dog feels comfortable while their owner is away, she puts her whole heart into it. Any pet in her care is truly in the best hands. She’s responsible, gentle, and treats every dog like her own. I know she’ll be a favorite on Rover in no time.”
