“She is great with my dog who is a newer rescue with some separation anxiety. She is very in tune with animals and their physical and emotional needs, she’s communicative with me (love the photos!) and prompt with arrival times. She’s also great with my other animals (a tiny timid rescue pup and two cats) Would recommend and will be rebooking!”
“I reached out to Mary on Sunday in desperation hoping to find a dog sitter so that we could take our kids to Silverwood on Monday and have our dogs be cool and hydrated while we went to the park. Mary was so responsive with booking, pick up, drop off and sending pictures throughout the day. Her kids Tristan and Taylor were instrumental in helping with pick up and drop off. If we ever come back to silverwood and in need of dog care i will most certainly reach out. Thank you! Highly recommended!!!”
“Abby was amazing with Charlie! He loved going to her house for day care, got along well with her dog, Julia, and they had fun adventures every day. He would come home and just sleep. I will definitely use Abby in the future.”
“We left Stephanie with 2 over 60-lb puppies (they are not yet a year old) for 3 weeks of daycare and she did awesomely. They had the time of their lives. Lots and lots of exercise, smells galore, not only on her 20 acre property, but she took them to special places - like a beach, where they ran and ran. She send me pictures regularly while we were away on our trip to Japan, so we didn't worry and could see them thriving. Some days when our son would pick them up, they didn't want to come home! Can't give her a higher recommendation.”
“Mikey was an amazing host for our 2 dogs. She is so friendly and welcoming. She took amazing care of our dogs and sent us updates throughout the day on how things were going. Very safe, clean and fun property/environment. Will recommend her to everyone.”

About: I am a college student looking to make a little extra money while I work from home. I think pets are family, and they make life ever so much more enjoyable! Pets reflect a lot about who we are and how big our hearts are to care for those around us. My sister and I since we were little sought every opportunity to help stray dogs out, help find their owners, or rehome them. Our dream was to one day house over 10 dogs when we built our home together and of course we would never ever get married... haha. things change, but our love for dogs stays the same! Because I am currently working online and studying, pet sitting is quite an easy task to do at the same time and an enjoyable break for me I am currently working online and tagging my masters program so pet sitting works great with my schedule! I find joy taking work breaks to be with my furry pets and get some time outside in nature. I love my luna so much, she accompanies me on any adventure I embark on and makes time so much more enjoyable. While she loves being outside in our big backyard, she thoroughly enjoys being able to relax inside with me and our family. I currently work part time from home and my husband is often home as well working, so together we make a great team of loving on the animals in our care. While we are planning on getting pets of our own soon, since we recently got married, pet sitting has been my way of feeling “at home” since I was involved with my sister efforts for dog rescue shelters, and organizations, having anywhere from 2-6 dogs in our home at all times. The dogs will remain indoors most of the time, as we have an unfenced yard, however, I make daily walks part of my routine as a therapist to get myself on the move, so between myself and my husband, we will make sure they are properly fed, comfortable, safe, and getting the exercise they need
About: I’ve taken care of and raised animals such as dogs and cats my whole life and currently have a Great Pyrenees myself. I’ve always owned several cats (all inside). I love to take dogs on walks and have watched many of my friends and families animals for short and long periods of time. I do not currently have a job and am fully open and available during any time of the week and I am also available on weekends. If needed to bring an animal to my home, I have a large yard and a Great Pyrenees myself. I have crates of my own and fences structures on my property.

Madison was wonderful! From the moment we met her, we could tell our dog was in great hands. She has such a welcoming, genuine, and caring personality, and it was clear she truly loves dogs. She took amazing care of our dog and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We feel very lucky to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter. 🐾

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ponderay commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ID ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.
