“Amanda did an excellent job caring for our dogs while we were away. She kept us updated, left our home clean and tidy, and most importantly, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciated the peace of mind she provided and would gladly book with her again. Thank you, Amanda!”
“Kaylah was wonderful with our dog, Buster. She was loving, nurturing and gave him lots of attention. She sent us frequent updates and pictures, which eased our minds. We highly recommend her.”
“Aaron was amazing and we highly recommend him! ! He was kind, attentive and punctual. Aaron sent tons of pics and updates of our babies while we were gone. We were so blessed to have him. It gave us such a sense of peace to know he was there and taking great care of the pups. He even left us a nice note to come home to. Thanks Aaron!”
“Allan takes very good care of TARS. He makes sure the guidance you place in his hands is taken care of to a T. He goes above and beyond to make sure if there is an issue it is resolved or that things are better than they were received. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for TARS.”
“Gunner is a very kind and conscientious pet and house sitter. He is communicative and provided updates and pictures of our cat happily interacting with him. My mind was so at ease knowing Gunner was taking care of my cat and home while we were away. I would definitely hire him again!”
“We were so lucky to find Nikki and Brittney to sit our two dogs for almost 2 weeks over the holidays. We got updates every day and so many pictures. It was clear the dogs were happy and well taken care of. They communicated with us daily and made it easy to be away knowing they were in good hands. Thanks so much!”
“Brenna did a fantastic job taking care of our elderly dog. She stayed at our home and gave Cookie a comfortable and seamless caregiving experience while we were away. She respected our home and took very good care of her. I recommend Brenna!”
“Jennifer house sat for us and took great care of our two cats and dog - and home. She was super attentive and responsive. She kept in touch, sending photos and updates during the week. She left the place super clean and tidy and even left flowers on the dining table: a lovely treat upon our return. We would certainly book with her again!”
About: I have been taking care of family/friend pets through the entirety of high school and afterwards. I have worked with a positive feedback trainer with my dog and have been able to apply those teachings to other behaviors in animals. I also know how to handle medications for dogs, from pills, intestine liquids, and topical creams. I absolutely adore big dogs and will totally let them be lap dogs. I love little dogs, even if they try to be ferocious creatures. I work a part-time job and am focusing most of my free time to medical concerns. I traditionally work in the early morning, 6-12. This leaves my afternoons free for the pets, but I can figure out how to care for them in the morning if necessary. Beyond that, I want to maintain active with the animals, playing, cuddling and taking for walks. I have 3 dogs of varying sizes (8, 25, & 100). They have different diets and activity levels, but all maintain their appropriate body weight. We have a fenced backyard for them to roam around in. The big dog is an anxious creature so he gets put in the crate when everyone leaves the house. I specifically worked with him on it and he has done wonderfully with positive reinforcement. I am able to transfer this knowledge to other animals, it might just take a few tries. Access to treats might help 😋. For walks, I can handle dogs big dogs and the ones that pull pretty well. I refuse to use choke chains and shock collars. If they are wearing one, I would like (with your permission) to switch it for a regular collar during the time of my stay.
“Hannah did an amazing job with our home, 3 dogs and old cat. She provided pics throughout her stay, was proactive and communicative, and our home was spotless when we returned. Our pets immediately loved her, too!! I highly recommend Hannah and will use her again.”
“Candy is a treasure. She took great care of our dog and handled a medical urgency in a timely, professional manner. She communicated well and our dog loves her. Highly recommended.”
About: Growing up around animals of many kinds and many temperaments— I am experienced in providing speciality care where connection to the animal is important. I am patient and loving as well as experienced in administering medicines and adhering to specific feeding schedules. I am currently working part-time and have a lot of flexibility in schedule ! Also have a working vehicle and do not mind a little drive ! I have also house sat many times over the years and always leave it more clean than when I arrived. I adore being able to keep critters company and provide loving and patient care.
“Cailin was amazing! She kept us in the loop with everything with our fish and dog. She was responsive and helpful. We came back to a happy puppy and clean house! We will definitely use her for our futures needs.”
About: I have grown up with many animals in my household including birds, rodents, chickens, cats, and of course dogs. I love working with animals and getting the opportunity to give them the love and care that they need. Once I moved out and started school, I decided to get my own dog, and it was the best decision I ever made! I have a three-year-old blue heeler who needs tons of attention and care and from this experience I have learned a lot about dogs and how to care for certain breeds properly. I am currently a college student on summer break looking to fill my time with an activity I will enjoy. I am free whenever needed any day or time of the week. I live in a duplex home and have a fenced backyard with a community dog park available. I do have one dog myself with an available crate if needed to crate your pet.
About: I have a 10 yr old male Chihuahua and 7 yr old female Shitzu/ Deer head Chihuahua. I feel I'm very good with animals I am currently working part time, i will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. Anything that will make them feel at ease while in my care i have a big back yard for your dogs to run around even an extra patio for them to lounge on in the shade. I have two smaller dogs that are overly spoiled. My two dogs are yappers only for alerting.
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.
About: Hi! I’m Annahi – a Boise-based animal lover with tons of experience and a big heart for pets! 🐶🐱 I'm a lifelong pet lover with several years of experience dog and cat sitting for friends, family, and happy Rover clients. Whether it's energetic puppies, senior dogs needing a little extra TLC, or shy kitties who need a calm presence—I love them all and treat every animal like family. As a Boise local, I’m familiar with all the best walking routes, parks, and pet-friendly spots. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and making your pets feel happy and at home while you're away. Whether you need drop-in visits, long walks, or overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’ll send regular updates, cute pics, and ensure peace of mind while you're away. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! As an esthetician with a flexible schedule, I usually see no more than 4 clients a day and rarely work past 4 PM. This allows me plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care for pets throughout the day—whether it’s morning visits, afternoon walks, or evening check-ins. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending my free time with animals. I unfortunately could not watch your fur babies in my home — but I am a trusting guest. Plus you can almost guarantee you will enter your space neater than you left it!
“Sydney stayed with my dog for 5 days and took great care of her. Sydney reached out to let me know that my dog was experiencing separation anxiety and asked for any suggestions on helping her, which I appreciated. We would book with Sydney again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Orchard
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 756 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orchard. 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 Orchard 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 Orchard 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 Orchard 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.
