“Allea did an awesome job taking care of my animals! She did pet sitting and overnight at my place and was soo tidy you would never know she was here! She sent regular updates and pictures and clearly gave them a lot of care and affection. Will 100% book her again!”
“Austin took care of our dogs and home while my husband and I were away for a few days. From the very start he was very responsive. He came to do a meet and greet and I knew then he would be a good fit because our dogs seemed to really like him. He was an excellent communicator, sent daily updates and pictures, and seemed very attentive to our dogs and home. In fact, one of our dogs had an upset tummy and needed to be fed a special diet and extra probiotics and Austin handled that situation quite well. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. We will definitely be rebooking Austin for future house sits!”
“Angelica was great! She communicated with us prior and during the house stay and set clear expectations. This was our first time doing house sitting and we were thrilled! Our pups are terrified of fireworks and she sent plenty of pics of them cuddled up with her relaxing. Overall a great experience with someone that you can tell loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”
“Emma is an exceptional pet sitter! She responded promptly to our request for a three day/2 night stay and was kind enough to stop by ahead of time to meet us and our dog and two cats. A warm and caring person, she went out of her way to lovingly interact with our “kids,” sending text updates and even sharing some cute pics and videos. We look forward to having Emma petsit for us again in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a responsible, caring, and affordable pet sitter.”
“Elizabeth looked after Pepper, our Boston terrier for 25 days - not a small amount of time - and the longest period we'd been apart. Elizabeth was great - we got regular photo's and updates. Pepper was happy and in great shape when we came home and the house was immaculate. Elizabeth was lovely, and really took care of Pepper and we're very thankful for her looking after Pepper on quite short notice for so long over the holiday period. Will definitely be looking to Elizabeth as our go-to siter in future. Thank you!!”
“Lillie communicated well and timely. She sent pictures of our pets on the first day so we knew she'd arrived. She left the house in great shape and just as she found it. I would recommend her and hope to book her again.”
“Kandice was prompt and took good notes when we first met. She asked great questions and was kind and responsible. While taking care of Freyja she was a great communicator, positive, and helped her feel cared for. I would definitely use her again.”
“Maple was absolutely wonderful with our dog and cat! We were especially impressed by how she handled our cat, who isn't usually the welcoming type but took to Maple right away. Maple was incredibly communicative, providing frequent updates and photos that kept us at ease. We returned to a spotless home and, most importantly, happy, healthy pets. We would be more than happy to have Maple house-sit again and highly recommend her! :)”
“Bryce is amazing! He is such a nice person! He took wonderful care of Skeeter at the house. Skeeter told us that she had a great time with Bryce. She even went to look for him when he left. We highly recommend him to take wonderful care of your animals! 😃🐶!”

About: Hi, My name is Christie. I have been an avid animal lover ever since I was a toddler. My family had our share of pets from dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, doves, and even a snake (although I will admit I that he was my brother's and I respectfully chose not to interact with him like I did all the others). On top of that, my grandparents were farmers with chickens, pigs, cats and dogs and I loved being with them all. Animals bring so much joy into our lives and I honestly think they have much to teach us. As an adult, I have loved my own and she was the love of my life. I have been pet/house sitting for 25+ years. I first started caring for friends pets, but at a certain point, the word got out and I was being referred to other pet sitting gigs. Many of those lead to new friendships of which I’m very grateful. I have loved each and every experience. My love of animals is one that dogs can usually sense right away and I'm proud to be an auntie of many wonderful pets. I enjoy taking dogs for walks in the woods or to the park to play fetch (or even soccer… That was my girl's favorite!) While staying at your home, I make sure they are fed and well cared for, with plenty of belly rubs and snuggles on the couch (if they are allowed). I have pet sit for cats, fish, and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've stayed at peoples homes for as little as 2 nights and up to 6 weeks. And, at times, I've welcomed some into my home. I’ve watched up to 4 dogs at a time (ranging from puppy to senior) and two cats. Those circumstances usually call for specific needs of which was different for each, but no matter the different food and meds and potty break reqs, being in there own home was no different than normal and all worked out smoothly. I have walked siblings separately and together, some on lead and some not... whatever the pup is used to and the owner specifies has always worked! ;) All of our outings are fun whether we go out to play catch, splash in the rivers, hike on the trails or simply take in all the smells and sights throughout the neighborhood and local parks. I'm currently taking time off of work to work on some personal projects so my availability is somewhat flexible. I will traveling throughout the NW, SE while also spending time here in Boise. Im open to sits locally, as well as around the nation. As an avid animal lover, it is a complete joy to love on your “love bugs" and simply BE with them in the comfort of their own home. I also welcome certain size/breeds into my own home for shorter stays. When I pet sit, I send photos of your pet’s smile and or activities that we share. And, I'm happy to look after and water any plants or garden areas. Otherwise, I am a responsible 56 year old woman who appreciates clean spaces. You can rest assured that I’d care for your pets and your home like my own.
“Samantha treated my pup like her own so much so that my pup was iffy of her leaving! Hah! She communicated well and she has a big heart that connects to all animals, including my nervous pup. Booking her is an easy choice!”

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 Sams Valley 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 Sams Valley 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sams Valley 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!

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 .

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.
