“Meghan was amazing. From booking to final day there was constant communication including updates on behavior, accidents in the home and pictures of our babies. First time we went on vacation with no anxiety.”
“Mikayla was awesome! She even helped one of our dogs with an itch spot she noticed. We think they may like her more than us now :) Would 100% use her again!”
“Atticus was great with taking care of our cats as well as being agreeable to taking care of non-pet related tasks such as taking out the garbage to the curb and bringing in packages. Atticus was communicative, agreeable to a meet and greet, and stuck to the care schedule. I would book with Atticus in the future and recommend others do the same.”
“Faith is great. She really likes our kitties and they really like her. The daily check-ins kept us connected and we could tell all was well. We highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for the best in pet care.”
About: I have one year of pet care experience providing reliable, attentive care for dogs and cats. 🐾 I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, administering medications, and following your pet’s routine. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I love creating a safe, comfortable, and happy environment while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets with patience, kindness, and plenty of love while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. 🐶🐱 I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability, which allows me to provide dependable care and give each pet the time, attention, and love they deserve. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and bookings while making sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. 🐾 I have a fenced backyard and two dogs of my own, creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets in my home. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely and provide personalized care, attention, and updates to help pets feel happy and secure.
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of small and big animals, including pets, farm animals, and even wild animals with conservation organizations. I love learning all the details of what constitutes the best care for each animal! I'm pretty good at basic training with dogs and puppies, and even kitties!! I give kitty and doggy massage and (reiki) energy, animals can feel our energy for sure! Sometimes I can intuitively pick up on little changes that could really help them. I'm a self-employed entrepreneur. I teach some yoga therapy clients, and have art healing sessions at different times throughout the week. These are short sessions, so I would only be away from the pet-sit house for a few hours, and planned ahead of time, but also able to be flexible as needed. I'm able to accommodate morning, midday, or evening times for all care needs. Occasionally I'm able to take a pet-sit dog on a walk with a walk client if everyone gets along, which I'm pretty good at facilitating actually, but I always ask first, and never push for it. I like to really check in with each animal and give them plenty of specialized attention. Especially at first, it takes a little time for them to build trust with a new person! I also like to keep to the routines that they expect. My cat gets treats upon waking, and before we go to bed, she likes the consistency. She likes variation in play-time and exploration, and I aim to help her build confidence in approaching new situations, she has been an amazing adventure cat and companion! I learn each pets favorite spot to chill, and when they do and don't want attention. I listen for, and learn their cues, and communication.
“Aaron did a great job watching our cats. He did daily drop by visits, followed our instructions clearly and took excellent care of our fur babies! Will definitely use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks so much, Aaron”
About: I'm the go-to pet-sitter for people whose friends all have pets. I've been dogsitting consistently in single- and multi-pet households since 2014, establishing a personal, trusted rapport with pets and their families. I've worked with pets young and old, engaging in regular exercise, medication administration, and plenty of belly rubs. I've been the proud owner of pets throughout my life, from a lovable German Shepherd to a spunky Yorkie. And I've watched a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages (senior pets are my current niche), from high-energy Brittanys to homebody New Foundlands, mini- and full-sized doodles, Boston terriers, poodle mixes, bully mixes, and cattle mixes. I live in Boise's Winstead Park neighborhood but have worked with clients in Eagle, Meridian, and Barber Valley — just ask! I'm available for low-risk meet-and-greets with your pets. I'm a remote worker with an active lifestyle (rock climbing, circus arts, etc.), so being away at a job doesn't get in the way of quality pet care. I'm available for sitting 7 days a week on short- and long-term notice, and rarely gone from the home more than a few hours at a time. Message me about additional walk and drop-in availability! I fully believe that keeping pets in your home is the safest, most comfortable option for them while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, caring for pets and plants, bringing in mail, feeding fish, locking doors and gates, and completing other household responsibilities. Responsive communication is a big priority for me, so I respond quickly and check-in regularly with photos, videos, and messages while you're away. My friends, family, or partners are never in your home. Similar to being in the outdoors, I operate with a leave-no-trace attitude. I clean up after myself, wash towels and bedding, and run dishwashers before departure. In most cases, you'll never know I was there, except for a happy pet whose thrilled to see you when you get home. I do not offer pet-sitting or dog-sitting services in my home at this time. ⭐More reviews!⭐ "Skylar was absolutely great and would highly recommend! One of our dogs is doodle who is anxious and shy. Skylar was so patient with him and really took her time getting to know him at his speed, which we greatly appreciated. Skylar was also super prompt, had amazing communication regarding updates on our dogs, and took great care of our house and plants. We will for sure be using her again!" - Taylor M. "Skylar provided excellent house- and dog-sitting services while I was gone for 12 days. She did a great job of keeping me informed throughout my trip, she asked great questions which let me know that she was engaged, and my house was spotless when I returned. My 3 golden retrievers were obviously happy while I was gone (pictures and videos) and when I got home. One of them is a special needs 3-legged tripod. Skylar followed all my instructions to a T, and all of them were very well cared for I will use Skylar’s services again for sure. And I would be happy to recommend her to my best friend. " - Theresa M.
“Kelci was fantastic. She was so good with my shy dog, gave her so much attention, and made her feel very loved. It was exactly what my dog needed. She also left very detailed notes every time and lots of pictures! It was such a good piece of mind while we were gone. I will 100% be booking with her again.”
“Brianna was great! We needed help with our 2 dogs last minute. She made time to come meet us & our dogs and it was obvious she is comfortable with dogs - they all were great together.”
“Emily is the best cat-sitter that we have ever had! She was responsive and trustworthy, and friendly to boot! She was understanding and flexible and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was well cared for. I can't recommend her more highly.”
“Really appreciate the quick response, the communication and the updates and the legitimate care provided to our pup. Look forward to using them again in the future.”
“Natasha did a fantastic job taking care of our two orange kitties! She sent multiple pictures each visit and kept us updated which was greatly appreciated. Definitely would use her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, from little pups to larger breeds, and have always loved spending time with animals. Although I don’t have pets of my own right now, I regularly help care for friends’ and family’s pets, including house-sitting, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I want to make sure your furry family members feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs depending on the day. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to find a time that works for both of us! I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with walking trails nearby (Greenbelt is just a 4 minute walk away) and a park close by for outdoor adventures when appropriate. I also have reliable transportation, so I can travel to your home to care for your pets.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
Elise was WONDERFUL! With less than 24 hours’ notice, we booked Elise to come take care of our pup! She was prompt, sent us tons of videos and pics, and communicated with us the entire time we were gone. This really put our minds at ease during a stressful week. Can’t recommend her enough! 10/10 experience!
Amazing care throughout our extended trip. Kalli, your rover cards and communication while we were gone were both incredible. I had immense peace of mind knowing that the cats were in such capable hands. I appreciate the things you did around the house as well - grabbing mail, bringing the trash in, and especially putting the dog food away when it was delivered. Thank you thank you! We will definitely be return customers.
WOW, WOW, WOW. This was an amazing experience. Kelcy took such grea care of my cat. I loved the daily pictures and the synopsis of what he was like after each visit. While on vacation, I looked at those pictures many times. It was such a relief knowing he was perfectly taken care of. I even made one of the pictures she took of him as my new background screen. 10 out of 10 experience. I would not hesitate to use her again and recommend her!!!
Kassidy did an amazing job caring for our very loved senior cat Peach who needs frequent drop-in visits. We had lots of reassurance Peach was in good hands when Kassidy provided regular updates and photos of her while we were on an extended trip away from home. I definitely recommend Kassidy to anyone in need of a caring and capable cat sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
