“I was so worried about transitioning from Daycare to leaving my pup home all day and having Laramie has been so great. She made it super easy to set up the visits and always sends a photo or two so I know how he is doing during the day. She’s gives him his treat before he goes so he has something to do to keep him busy for a little longer which helps me feel better about the day alone. He’s been doing great with the transition and seems happy being home which is great!”
“Bailey did a great job walking Jasper! She was very attentive to his needs (he’s a senior dog) and was excellent at following instructions for treat puzzles etc. Thank you so much, Bailey!”
“Caitlynn was doing walks/drop in visits with my dog when I was out of town. She is very responsive and I know my dog is in good hands with her. This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to do so!”
About: Hi! I’m 26, a Boise State graduate and former Honors College student, and I’m currently working toward my master’s degree. I also work at St. Luke’s three days a week, which gives me a really flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience with pets that have very different personalities and needs. I grew up with a cat, lived with a very reactive Pit Bull in college, and now have a 6-month-old Lab puppy of my own. Because of that, I’m comfortable with everything from puppy energy and basic training to dogs that need a little more patience, structure, and awareness of their surroundings. Having my own puppy has definitely reminded me how much work goes into raising a young dog! I’m very used to potty schedules, frequent walks, reinforcing good habits, keeping puppies entertained, and making sure they don’t get into absolutely everything they can find. I’m extremely responsible, organized, and dependable, but I’m also the kind of person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for by someone who will pay attention to their routine, personality, safety, and all the little details you give me. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a reactive dog who needs some extra patience, or a cat who prefers to do their own thing, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and treat them like one of my own. I work 3 days a week and very rarely on weekends so I am very flexible and have a really easy ability to move my schedule around to come see your pet. I am very good at following directions and take pet safety very seriously. I am sure I accommodate your dog whether that means you have a large backyard or you live in a small apartment and the dog is crate trained.
About: I have had three medium breeds and one small breed throughout my life. I have helped feed, walk, and play with all of them often. I am currently a college student with weekends, and a good amount of time during the week open. Saturday-Tuesday is preferable, other days are negotiable. I care for pets with compassion and patience. I give them as much love and attention as they ask for and respect their needs and space.
“Kristi, thank you SO much for taking the pups to their favorite dog park! I appreciate all the care and attention you give them. I look forward to them spending more time with you and the care you give.”
About: Hi there, fellow pet lovers! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by... I live in the beautiful North End of Boise and have been pet-sitting for years, caring for dogs and cats! Consider me your trusted ally who is dedicated to enriching your pet's daily experience while simplifying yours. I grew up with Saint Bernards, so handling large dogs is second nature to me. Our home was always full of animals—strays, rescues, and the occasional “foster fail” who became family. We made room for whoever needed it, and that mindset has stayed with me ever since. I’m comfortable with a full range of pet temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure. I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your pet is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out! Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, playtime, you name it. Also, please ask me anything if you can't find it in my profile! I'm happy to discuss extra services that you or your pet needs to feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away! I am recently retired early from the tech industry and now have time to give back to my community and neighbors! I'm available 7 days a week, and for overnights if needed and if the fit is right! Contact me anytime, and we can coordinate something that works, whether it's just hanging out with your pet or having a fun adventure! I've lived a lifetime with pets and rescued animals, so for me they are family. I treat all living things with respect, understanding, and care. I'm always thinking ahead of potential scenarios when planning any outings, making sure I'm prepared with extra leashes, treats, and/or a strong understanding of an area and what to expect.
About: Hello my name is Kaitlin and I am a wife and registered nurse looking to enrich my life and make extra income by taking care of your dogs! I am experienced with all breeds large and small, I have a house with a large fenced in yard. I have dog sat for neighbors as they traveled and am home most days. I walk or run 2-3 miles a day and would love to have a furry friend to join me. I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help you out and work with you to create a schedule you are happy with. I live with my Husband who is a veteran. We have two fur babies of our own. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs, and answer any questions you may have! I am available most days to walk dogs and check on them throughout the day in their own home. I do have two dogs of my own so I won’t be able to board in my home. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs and would love to have an animal sanctuary one day.
About: I am always the first person to volunteer to petsit because my parents did not want pets when I was growing up! So I am of course the cool aunt and/or godmother to many of my friends and familys pets. Consider me the cool mom. Snacks and snuggles are ready for your pet at all times! I currently work remotely so I have an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to petsit when I want! I can go on walks, cuddle, and feed your pet whenever they need! I happily petsit at my clients house so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own spaces. I will ensure your house stays clean and tidy during my stay!
“Stephanie is professional and a true animal lover. She is responsive to all of Rocky’s needs and appreciates his idiosyncrasies. Very responsive to communication and goes the extra mile.”
“Rachel is so awesome! She is reliable, communicative, and best of all she loves my dog! I don’t have to worry at all going to work every day because I know my pup is in good hands :)”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, parrots, fish, and even ducks. I care for each animal as if it were my own, and prioritize not only their physical health but also their emotional! Animals are deeply emotional and are affected when their parents go away, so I promise to provide excellent care of your fur babies. Rest assured you have a reliable and loving person that you can trust. I work full time during the week, but that doesn’t stop me from taking excellent care of your pets. They will be seen at a minimum of 3 times per day, if not more. I like to see them before work, during lunch, and when I get off. I prefer to stay overnight to make sure they’re okay. If they need more attention, I can certainly accommodate! My job has the flexibility of letting me work from home if needed. We prefer to let Koda free roam around the house. We don’t have a fenced in backyard but are always taking her out on the leash. She is lower energy for a Doodle and easily bored, so we make sure to give her toys and treats! She loves watching kids movies too so we make sure to have those on while we’re not home. Whether your pup is at my house or yours, they will go out at a minimum of 3 times daily. If they need to be crated or separated from my Koda, we can make that happen too! I will adjust anything in my schedule or routine to accommodate your fur baby. ❤️ We allow dogs on the couch and bed because we love snuggling!
About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting on and off for the past two years and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide services such as dog sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I do my best to follow routines closely and provide care that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I currently have a nine-year-old Lab/Beagle mix named Lucy, who is still very high energy, so I’m comfortable caring for active dogs and pets with different temperaments. Growing up with dogs and having pet-sitting experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals. My availability is currently completely open, as I’m home from college for the summer. I’m not working full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care and quality time with your pets. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and my goal is always to provide dependable care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for! I am currently home from college, so I have lots of free time during the day and nights! I love taking care and hanging out with pets! I grew up with a very high energy dog, as well as aggressive dogs in the family. I know how to handle just about any type of dog, whatever meets your needs!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
Phedre is so good with my dog that has separation anxiety. Both my dogs can't wait to see her. Phedre has both housesat for us and walked my dog with separation anxiety for an extended period. She is a natural with dogs of all sorts, and couldn't be more highly recommended!
Melinda is great! Our stranger wary pup warmed up to her really quickly and it is such a relief knowing they are being taken care of while I'm at work. She leaves a detailed note about how their walks went and even indulges our toy obsessed dog. So happy we found her!
Brittaney has been walking my rescue dog since the week I brought her home two months ago and she loves her! Brittaney is extremely reliable and flexible. She is an excellent communicator, and is always happy to help with whatever I am trying to accomplish with my new dog. I am so lucky I found her right off the bat as my regular dog walker!

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 Perkins. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
