About: (Yes, I am available for the 4th of July week/weekend, so theres no need to have your fur kids alone and scared while you're away!!) I have cared for animals of all kinds since I was little. I have experience with a large range of creatures, from hamsters to horses you name it. I have medical experience handling IV's and Other injection medications. I am CPR trained, and have been CPR certifed, however, certification is not up to date for this year yet. I have nursed two small infant puppies back to health from Parvo through injection Iv's, Handled Ear infections due to Yeast & Earmites, on too many occasions I've cured stray Cats & kittens of worms, as well as many other positive outcomes for Unhealthy Furkids that were lucky to have found my care...Hence why Im very cautious when it comes to any possible exposure to bacteria & possible illness. Over the years i have had many different senerios and challenges arise that I have handled with ease. I have an amazing reputation for animal training, altho ive never been Trainer certified. From Seniors to newborns I always have any animals best interest at heart, they deserve a life better then we can give but I will continue striving to deliver!! I am currently unemployed since recovering from Carpal and Cubital tunnel surgery. So im free all day & week to Check In/Hangout/& Hike with your furry friends!! I personally feel as tho they deserve Treat & Potty breaks all the time, so let me be there for them when you can't. :)♡ I spend all outdoor time monitoring & playing with your fur kids, for both saftey and to keep your kiddos mind active. Constantly engageing through interactions, helps to keep your kids distracted of your absence!! I have two friendly fur kiddo's myself (With Separation Anxiety) that love to help keep your fur babies company. We enjoy bringing activity boards, stimulating toys, and treat puzzles, for your fur kids to engage and activate their smart thinking mind's. It's important to me that we make sure throughout the day we are drinking plenty of water (Especially when out in the Sun) and that I'm listening to ALL of my furry friends needs!!
“Jessica took great care of our dogs while we were away! They were happy and healthy and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home to care for them. She took pics of the dogs and sent us updates throughout our absence. Definitely will look forward to having her as our Rover in the future.”
“Danyell was great with our pups, they warmed up to her quickly. She kept us posted on how they were doing and sent photos so we could see them. She was at our home for the entire stay and we had no concerns. Definitely recommend.”
“Robyn was so sweet, our dog felt so comfortable with her and she went above and beyond to take care of him. We got lots of pictures and videos which I loved, since we were out of town for 3 days it really helped ease any anxiety I had. Would definitely book again!”
“Magnificent ... fantastic ... superb! My dogs were well cared for, got to follow their daily routines under Malerie's care. I cannot say enough positive things about her stay. She followed feeding routines. They went for their daily ride in the car. They snuggled up with her which told me they were very comfortable having her in their home. Super super job. I would highly recommend Malerie to anyone.”
“Kimberly stayed at my house with my two older bulldogs and made sure they were well taken care of with their needs to go out frequently, giving them walks, as well as medication. I appreciated the little things like cleaning out their food and water bowls and even offering to put the sheets in the washer before she left. I will definitely be rebooking for our next trip!”
“They were absolutely wonderful with my dog! Not only did they take excellent care of him, but they were also so quick to respond anytime I had a question. They truly went above and beyond, showing so much patience and kindness to help my super anxious pup feel comfortable and safe. I’m so grateful for their care and can’t recommend them enough!”
“Kylee was amazing. She was quick to respond and was so great sending us updates and photos while she stayed with Lola. We highly recommend her and would rebook with her in the future. Thank you!”
About: I have for years taken care of dogs, many cats, amphibians, reptiles, and other animals including occasionally on the farm. I love cats and dogs equally, but I have a soft spot for tender care a dog can show to us! I’m great at house sitting too, and I’m a student at ISU! I work part time right now but am very flexible. I can fit house sitting right into my schedule, and dog walking on my days off, or in the evenings. I’d be happy to chat about it. I am very patient and caring with every pet there is. I have had years of taking on and off leashes, making sure dogs are ok and not needing of something, and general care of animals and houses.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 10+ years. I always make sure they are safe comfortable and happy. Im very patient, loving and caring. I will make sure that your best friends are well taken care of. Im doing this full time so I will have all the time in the world to look after your buddies to play with them and to walk them and to make sure that they are well taken care of. I dont have a fenced yard but I always make sure to keep them on a leash. I also have 2 fun loving dogs that will be able to keep your dogs company. There is also a park nearby that would be a great place for them to go on walks and play. Safety is my number 1, I dont want anything to happen to them.
About: I have a very active lab and spend plenty of time outside playing and getting out that energy. I also have had dogs for all my life and I am very relaxed so spending time with dogs at home is my favorite. Im self employed so I make my own schedule! I also have three rambunctious dogs myself so I find myself playing or walking them a lot. I have a fully fenced backyard (6ft tall) and a doggy door. I also stock up regularly on all the nice toys and healthy treats! I also make sure they have water available all the time!
“Robin is the BEST EVER! My dogs absolutely loved having her take care of them while we went out of town. She sent so many pictures and videos of them enjoying themselves. I will 1000% use Robin in the future :)”
About: Hello! I’ve been a pet owner to both cats and dogs, from rambunctious puppies and kittens to calm, couch-loving seniors my entire life! I currently own a Great Dane and an Akbash (big dogs don’t scare me!). I worked at a vet clinic for over 3 years and am confident with providing daily meds if needed, and extra care to your senior furbabies. I also am experienced with nail trimming! There has also been occasions that I have pet sat exotic animals, such as snakes and bearded dragons! So if you have a few extra small critters that need love, I’m your gal! I have pet sat for multiple people and love providing daily picture updates to keep your mind at ease! It’s my priority to love your pets like they’re my own! I currently work in Idaho Falls full-time as an occupational therapy assistant in a skilled nursing facility. For pet owners living in Pocatello, I can pet sit every day of the week, though. I am gone for roughly 8 hours at a time Monday through Friday . I am completely free on weekends to pet sit all day. Pet owners in Idaho Falls and surrounding areas, since I work in that city, I am able to come and stop by throughout the day and stay overnight instead of driving back home. Every pet deserves to have the same routine and daily care they get while you’re home, which is why I want to keep those routines and habits the same while you’re gone. I want to build a trusting and less stressful relationship/environment with you and your pets! Whether your pets are small or giant, I am confident in my skills to provide them adequate care based on your needs and expectations. I will always provide free cuddles and pets to every animal I watch!
“Savanah was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about animals. She was extremely friendly and my dog loved her. She even helped us with some training tips. She was a very accommodating with our schedule overall 10 out of 10 very nice lady.”
About: I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter, new to the area and currently accepting new clients with flexible, wide-open availability. I have two dogs of my own—Franny (a senior queen 👑) and Carlos—so I really understand that every pet has their own pace and personality. Whether your dog wants a slow, sniff-everything stroll or a more active walk, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes (yes, even the strong pullers 💪) and focus on safe, positive walks with good manners and plenty of time to explore. I’ll treat your pets like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule with availability on weekdays, weekends, and for overnight stays. I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s walks, feedings, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and take the time to understand your pet’s personality and needs. Whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back, I adjust my approach to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and keep things clean, secure, and as you left them. I’m mindful with doors, gates, and leashes, and always prioritize safety. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is simple: to keep your pet relaxed, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pocatello
Brooke V. was amazing with our pets and home! Our usual pet sitter had something come up and couldn’t come for our trip’s first five days, this left me in a real dilemma, so I looked through Rover and found Brooke. I can’t express how wonderful she was with our cat and dogs. This was my first time splitting a pet setter for an extended trip. Brooke did everything I ask and left notes for the old sitter on how it went with her and was ready to speck with him if needed. And the house was just as I left it when he arrived. She shared photos of my pets for all five days, much better than my usual sitter. I will be using Brooke in the future! She really went above and beyond to make my husband and I feel comfortable with a situation we had never been in before and treated our pets so well! I highly recommend her! You will get the care you want for your pets and your home! Thank you Brooke, you’re a gem!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pocatello
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pocatello on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 55 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pocatello. 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 Pocatello 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 Pocatello 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 Pocatello 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.
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.
