“Kaitlynn, was very nice and sweet to our ederly black lab Jessie. She did an incredible job and went above and beyond giving her lots of special care and assistance while house/dog sitting for us. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover.”
“Delia was absolutely amazing! She would stay in communication with us and would send us updates every time she visited our pups. She would also send pictures of our fur babies. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and I truly can’t imagine life without them! I also worked at a doggy daycare for three years, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During that time, I learned so much about how dogs communicate through their body language and behavior, which has helped me better understand their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup is full of energy or just wants some extra cuddles, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and treating them like one of my own! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week! I would love to accept boarding mostly during the weekend. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep their daily routines as normal as possible. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or just some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel happy and cared for. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own!
About: I have a lot of experience in pet sitting for other people, but most of my experience, especially for senior dogs was with my own pup, up until his recent decent to heaven I did a lot of things for him to keep him happy and comfortable, bathing feeding, lots of lifting (he was a big boy lol) and for a little I had to help him pee and clean up accidents quite a bit, so I have a lot of understanding in pet care. I’m also good with cats, I know the signs of when to give space and am very patient, and pretty fast if your pets a runner. I work part time and have lots of free time to help you with your pets! Weekdays especially! But between shifts I’m also available during weekends My home has a fenced back yard with a good amount of space, I have a super friendly mini golden doodle, who would love to be friends, there’s also nothing fragile that pets could easily break here.
About: I worked at a vet for the last year and a half of high school and majored in Animal Science before switching over to psychology. I love all (and have worked with many) animals ranging from great danes to ferrets. I have a big soft spot for cats, as I have two of my own, but I’m up for any challenge— whether you have an English mastiff, Shih Tzu, or a Maine Coon, I’m more than happy to help care for your babies! I’m currently a student at BYU-Idaho, so there may be times when I can’t spend all day at a house, but I can always come by in afternoons, evenings, and weekends! I am very comfortable giving animals any necessary medication/food/water, taking them outside, and playing with them. I will always make sure they are safe before I leave (picking small toys or items off the ground, making sure things are put away, etc) and will update you every day I am with your pet!
“Jamie was so helpful and took amazing care of our dog! She left the house clean and our dog happy! She communicated quickly and made sure that she understood all of our instructions so that our dog would get the best care. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to watch our dog again in the future.”
“Monica was a phenomenal find! Right from the outset she came in, got down to greet the dogs, asked great questions to ensure she was ready and went on a quick walk with us to learn our dogs behaviors on-leash. She stayed here, the house looked great upon return, she sent numerous photos and communicated with us daily. When we returned, the dogs were happy, well-cared for and tired which is always a bonus. Highly recommend!”

Evelyn has helped me a couple times now. I trust her with my pets, and feel better when I travel knowing she is taking care of my pets. She is careful and thorough, and has a way with both dogs and cats, they are so comfortable and happy with her. My dogs love Evelyn!!
Addi dogsat our 5 year old border collie-husky mix for two nights + two days in our home. She communicated well, arrived on time, was flexible and attentive, was respectful of our space, and took great care of our neurotic little shelter pup. We would absolutely hire Addi again.
Jamie was so helpful and took amazing care of our dog! She left the house clean and our dog happy! She communicated quickly and made sure that she understood all of our instructions so that our dog would get the best care. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to watch our dog again in the future.
Zoe was an absolute lifesaver! She took wonderful care of Maverick and Boody while we were away. Her communication was top-notch—we loved getting picture updates, and it was so obvious the dogs adored her right away. To top it off, we came home to a house that was even cleaner than we left it. We appreciate her so much and will definitely be booking her again in the future!
Natalia was great with our two dogs, a lab and a golden with tons of energy. She was very communicative the entire time and kept us feeling at ease while we were out of the country for 10 days. Came back to two happy dogs and a clean house. Would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rexburg is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Rexburg 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 Rexburg 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 Rexburg 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 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.
