“It was our first time leaving our dogs with a pet sitter - they did a great job making us feel comfortable and explaining the process! We left our senior dog and our puppy with them for the day - a very dog friendly space. We would highly recommend them!”
“What a great experience for both me and Blu! I contacted Dave hours before needing an all-day sitter and he graciously accepted. Blu had a great time and I received pictures during the day of all the fun she was having! Will definitely use this sitter again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 21 years, and I’ve yet to meet one I didn’t want to be friends with. From energetic puppies who think socks are toys to sweet senior dogs who prefer naps over zoomies, I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I provide reliable, loving care that includes walks, feeding, playtime, cleanup, cuddles (if approved by your pup, of course!), and basic medications when needed. I know leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles—not just a quick check-in! I do run the occasional errand, but your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine always come first. I’ll make sure they get lots of love, exercise, and updates for you, because I know you’re probably missing them as much as they’re missing you. 🐾 Your pup can expect a fenced yard, a toy box that’s always open for business, plenty of belly rubs, fresh food and water, and two energetic dogs who are usually happy to welcome a new playmate. Safety comes first, fun is a close second, and your furry family member will be treated like one of my own.
About: With over 27 years of hands on personal and professional animal care, loving pets isn’t just what I do, it's who I’ve been since getting my very first hamster at 3 years old. From dog and cat companions to farm and exotic animals, my entire life has centered around the comfort, happiness, and well being of almost every type of animal. In California, I spent 6 years managing a horse ranch, followed by 12 years managing a pet store and working closely with local dog and cat rescue organizations. Over the years, I also built a dedicated following of beloved "pup-stomers" through years of professional in home boarding and a private house sitting. After relocating 4 years ago to grow our family, I am thrilled to open my schedule again to offer you the attentive, love and peace of mind they deserve while you are away. Experience with administering medications and special diets including raw food. I am a stay at home mom to 3 children, meaning I am always home and readily available. We spend lots of time playing in our huge fenced in backyard, so your pet will receive constant supervision and companionship. I have plenty of balls, frisbees, and toys ready to go! A daily walk is included (weather permitting, if desired), and I am more than happy to stick to your dog's regular feeding and care routine. I pride myself on being flexible, accommodating, and quick to send photo updates as often as you’d like throughout the day. Your fur baby will be included with our family all day, including daily walks, rather than a traditional boarding facility. Your dog is welcome to sleep on their own full-size bed in the guest room, in a dog bed, on the couch, or even in my room! I am also very experienced with crate training and puppies!
About: I have enjoyed and cared for dogs all my life and spent many years participating in Agility training and trials with my Blue Heeler/GS Pointer. I have raised puppies and tended to them throughout their long lives. I am a sucker for a white-faced senior dog! I met my husband over 30 years ago when he was a veterinarian and I was a veterinary technician. If your pet needs medication I am happy administer it for you. I am retired and I have many free days and nights for pet sitting and dog walking. I am flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule. Your dog is welcome in our home and on our furniture, and will be treated as one of our own. I have solid fencing on 3 sides of my backyard, with a metal fence on one side. (4 feet high with 3 3/4 inches between the vertical rails.) I will supervise your dog in the yard or take them outside on a long lead, as needed. I appreciate clear instructions on how you would like your pet cared for, and I will follow them respectfully. Does your dog have a favorite toy? Are there specific training guides you would like reinforced? Do they prefer to play alone or with other dogs? Just let me know what they need and I will be happy to accommodate them whether at your home or mine.
“I will start by saying i have been a rover sitter myself for YEARS and i am very picky about who my dogs watch. Rich and his family were wonderful with my crazy boy, who was very happy when i.picked him up (a tell-tell sign he had a great time!). I was only visiting in their state and when my schedule did a flip flop Rich was so flexible and understanding it took a lot of stress off of me. Being a sitter myself I know dogs act different with different people, and Rich gave me some feedback of how Lyric was for him (like that he jumps 4' fences. He normally only jumps if we tell him or if he is trying to get to me) - and Rich amd the family handled it well. I would be more than willing to reccomend people to Rich and his family, amd when we are here visiting our family i know there is a good trusting sitter for my boy if needed.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for animals my entire life — from dogs and cats to smaller pets like birds. Animals have always been a huge part of my world, and I can’t imagine life without them. I enjoy training my own dog and use positive reinforcement to help build trust and good habits. I’m comfortable working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from energetic puppies to calm seniors — and I always tailor care to meet their individual needs. I have a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and potty breaks. I’m also experienced with administering medication (oral, topical, or drops) and following special routines, feeding schedules, or dietary needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal like family and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care — just like they would at home. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send photo or video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Hi! I’m Michelle — a lifelong animal lover who works from home, so I’m with my dog (and yours!) all day. I love spending time outdoors hiking, paddleboarding, and going on walks. I also attend dog training classes a few times a week, which helps me stay in tune with canine behavior and care. Your pets will get plenty of attention, love, and company while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I work from home full-time, so pets in my care are never left alone for long periods. My dog stays in my office with me during the day, and your dog is welcome to join us — or enjoy their own quiet space if they prefer. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and respectful of every pet owner’s home and routine. I follow all care instructions closely to ensure consistency, safety, and peace of mind. My reputation and your trust mean a great deal to me, and I’m committed to providing the same level of care I would want for my own dog.
“Our experience was awesome! We were greeted and our dog was welcomed with open arms. Andrew asked us to stick around and allow our dog to sniff around his fenced in dog area. He kept us updated on how our dog was doing throughout the day. We were traveling from out of town and needed a sitter on very short notice. Would highly recommend Andrew!”
“Well all I can say is Jill is a godsend! I was referred to her by some neighbors in my community. My dog is a rescue and doesn’t have very much confidence or socialization . She said that was fine and she would work with him. Jill is very calm and definitely knows what she is truth dogs. She has a great fenced in backyard where he can run a play. Jill has two dogs of her own that Odin got a long with pretty darn quick. I would recommend Jill 100%. I’m so happy I found her ❤️”
“Even-keeled and easygoing, Emily was a good choice! She cared for my golden retriever for the day and my mind was at ease, knowing she’d be watched well, played with and fed by someone who knew what they were doing. Even when I had to make MULTIPLE last minute time changes in the schedule, Emily took it like a champ and without complaint! My golden seemed her normal dorky self after her stay!”
About: Ive been around animals since birth. I lived on a farm for years with horses, cows, sheep, dogs, and cats. I've learned to take care of all of them by myself. I've helped raise 5 puppies!!! I am currently a student at NNU and have classes most days. However, my work load is small as of now and I have lots of free time. I can do overnights as long as I can fit them into my schedule on weekdays, weekends I am totally free. I get out of class no later than 3pm everyday. I can care for clients pets in whatever way they would like. I have wanted to be a veterinarian my whole entire childhood. I will always do what is in the best interest for the pet.
“Ellen was great with my two little ones, I felt way more at ease having them with Ellen then at some pet boarding facility and my pups were happier too. She has a wonderful home with a nice backyard where she and the pups all soaked up the sunny day. ☀️ ❤️”
About: We're a family affair: my sister Rachel, my son, and I all help with bookings. Beyond a basic love for dogs we are also experienced with furry fosters. We have housed all types, breeds, ages, abilities of dogs/puppies for days, weeks or months at a time depending on their individual needs. Our dogs are part of the family and welcome others into the pack well. Between the three of us, someone is almost always home and available to provide individual play time, lap time, TLC, and whatever else is needed. Dogs are excellent judges of character and would know right away when meeting us that we're gentle souls with a deep love for pups of all kinds. I'm currently a full-time student and available for overnights, weekend stays, or evening check-ins. My sister works a flexible schedule and is home most days. We can come to you or your fur babies can come to us, whatever makes them most comfortable. Our dogs are part of the family and welcome to be close to us on the couch or in bed. They are friendly and welcoming to new furry friends. We have also crate trained previous pets and understand that method as well. We are flexible and will respect your wishes. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to play with pups 🐶 and havre lots of support/backup help with Rachel and Gabriel when needed. I have lots of space and ways to provide opportunities for your pup to socialize with mine or separate them for some downtime as needed with 3 levels, gates and crates. We discuss your pup's needs and develop a customized plan for each stay to support your wishes.
“Sarah and her family are amazing! My puppy is still very young and I work long nights, so we needed night time care for him. Sarah is very flexible and accommodating to our needs. Rollo enjoyed going to her home and had many loving arms to hold him and play with him. I recommend Sarah’s care wholeheartedly! Thank you for everything you do Sarah!”
“Amanda was so wonderful and I’m so grateful she could take Millie at the last minute! She entertained her and spoiled her! Her dogs are wonderful and tired out my Millie dog!”
“Silvia took amazing care of my two pups and made me feel completely at ease during their stay. She was very communicative and sent the best updates and photos throughout the day. I only wish I lived closer so I could use her again! Highly recommend!”
“Mignon is the absolute sweetest and my dog took right to her on his first play date! She was great about communication and providing photos of him having a blast! We will definitely use her in the future!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Simplot
Jessica was amazing with my five month old puppy Apollo! She played his favorite game with him. And took him out for his potty breaks. He was exhausted after. So I think that is a sign he had a great time! She was also super flexible with me and worked with me for pick up and drop off times that worked for me so I could do my interview and get back on the road to make it home on time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 415 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Simplot. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Simplot 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.
As of October 2026, there are 415 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of ID. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
