About: Over the last 5 years, I have taken care of friends’ dogs and have done a bit on Rover as well. I’ve had my own fur ball for over 3 years now and he is my world. I love the connection and love we can share with dogs, no matter the shape, size, breed, or gender. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! When I do work, I don’t start until 3pm so we’ll have the whole morning. Along with dog-sitting, I have done a lot of house cleaning in the past so I know how to leave a house better off than I found it. I also have a super friendly border collie/lab mix that loves to play with other dogs!

I have just moved to Ponderay and am excited to show my skill! I've been in pet care since I was sixteen including dog grooming I treat every dog like my best friend I treat any animal as if they were my own;giving them love and all the attention they would need not to mention play time outside
“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. 🐾”
“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.”
“Stephanie is the best! She was very knowledgeable and compassionate with our puppy! She did a great job at entertaining and caring for our girl. She also responded to our texts immediately and also sent us pictures of the activities that our puppy was doing. Our puppy was tired and content when we picked her up. Thanks Stephanie for providing such a wonderful service!”
“Great care for my energetic dog, sometimes hard to manage, dog! Erik sent me updates throughout the visit. He treated my dog as if it was his own in a very good way. I especially appreciated that he took my pup with him to the local coffee shop and socialized him a bit. Definitely recommend!!!”
About: I LOVE animals! Dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, basically all of the furry friends! We've had dogs and cats my whole life (from puppies and kittens to grumpy old men dogs). I've taken care of many of my friends and families dogs in my home and in their homes. Summer hours can vary but someone is generally home to give pets plenty of attention and potty breaks. I’m working 4 nights a week while my husband works 5 days a week and my 12 year old kiddo is on summer break. I have six acres with trails for walking your dogs! I have an old, friendly dog plus two dog savvy cats. I do not have a fenced area but will leash walk the dogs (or no leash at owners request). I have hard wood floors and stairs that may not be ideal for tripods or aging senior dogs (unless they’re used to that). I no longer have a kennel, but if you bring one and want your dog kenneled I can do that. Your pup will enjoy lots of pets, snuggles, play time both indoors and outdoors and of course treats (as approved by pet parents)!
About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…

About: I've had a love for animals since I was a kid and have previously fostered for the animal shelters because it brings me joy. I have 2 small fur babies of my own and I babysit my daughters miniature Schnauzer puppy during the week days. I work from home so my schedule is relatively open. I'm active so we enjoy walks and playing on our 12 acre property (during the summer). Our fur babies are never left unattended and we do keep them on leashes when they go outside on our property. During the winter I spend time spoiling our fur babies with lots of love, snuggles and indoor play time. I have 2 friendly small dogs (Arlo and Aveena) who love play dates. Our home is close to walking trails and we have plenty room for indoor activities.
About: Hi! My name is Lindsay and I’d love to help you out with whatever you may need. I grew up with cats and dogs in the Midwest. My dog is a 4 year old female Pointer with some energy, so I am always making sure that walks and exercise are given. My house has a fenced in yard perfect for your dog! I can help dog with basic commands, reinforcement and socialization if you would like that for your dog. If you need your pup exhausted when you get home I can more than likely help out with that as well. Feel free to contact me and ask questions I am an open book and would love to help you and your animals out. My dog is social and requires exercise so I ensure that others get the same if needed each day. I do work during the day but spend all afternoon having fun! I have a nice sized house and fenced in yard for your fur baby. My dog loves cats as well so if you wanted your cat watched you wouldn’t have to worry. I would bring my dog for house sitting if you the owner are ok with that. Your pet will be loved for sure!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 17 sitters in Ponderay, 83% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
