“Kinsey was amazing with our pups! It was amazing to see how great she was with our timid and anxious pup! She was very attentive to all of their needs. She shared daily updates with pictures. Tilley and Koda can’t want to see Kinsey again!”
“Kristi did a great job again! She always sends timely updates and pictures which helps me know my doggies are doing well. She also makes sure my home is perfectly clean when I come home. I really appreciate her!”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of our two German shepherds. We were gone for 9 days over the holidays and she stayed with them the entire time and sent daily updates and pictures. Our house was well taken care of and both the dogs were so happy. They loved Ashley and so do we! Highly recommend!!”
“Beverly was quick to respond to our request for her services for our dog, Blu, for 4 days. She came to meet us about 3 weeks before her stay to get acquainted with us and our dog. She then came over about 3 days before we left to reacquaint with Blu and for specific house questions. She asked questions to familiarize herself with Blu and the house. When we got home from our trip, we came home to a happy dog and we were very pleased with our experience with Beverly. We definitely would use Beverly again!”
“Arica was an incredible dog sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was so kind, patient, and caring with our dog, who can be a little anxious at times. She kept us updated throughout our trip with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and she was always reliable and thoughtful. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our dog like he was her own. We’re so grateful for everything she did and are already looking forward to having her watch him again in the future. 100% recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m Elahni! 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love, not just a job. I have 6 years of professional dog-handling experience and 13+ years as a dog owner. In California, I built a clientele that trusted me with their furry family members, and now I’m excited to build those same connections here in the Nampa/Boise area! ❤️ I know every pet has their own little personality, routine, and quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your pup needs a long walk, extra playtime, a little patience, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I want them to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll treat your babies like my own and make sure they get the attention and activity they deserve. I’d love to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶💕 I work full time as a dog groomer and truly prioritize daily and weekly pet care. for 13 years i walked, fed and primarily cared for my family pets and for the past 6 years have been honored with working in dog handling and grooming. As a professional dog groomer, I have 6 years of hands-on experience handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments, and personalities, along with 13+ years of caring for my own pets. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine, respect their boundaries, and make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m familiar with senior pet care, giving medication with meals when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs extra patience or attention. I’ll always respect your home, follow your instructions, and treat your pets like my own. ❤️
“I was very impressed with Kara. After my last sitter left for college, I was concerned about finding the right sitter again for my pets. Kara took away all of my concerns. At the initial meet and greet, I could tell she has a great connection with animals. One of my dogs is usually a little shy around new people. However she immediately ran up to Kara and was wagging her tail. During the actual house sitting, Kara did a great job of communicating daily with me. She sent multiple photos which is always appreciated. At the end of the day, Kara is professional and kind. She left my house in the same condition as she found it. She loved on my pets as if they were her own. As someone who travels frequently, it makes me happy to know I have a qualified and professional pet/house sitter to rely on when I am gone.”
“Ali house sat for me and took wonderful care of Bear. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how he was doing, and she followed all my instructions for his routine. I could tell Ali genuinely loves dogs. Communication was easy and reliable the whole time. I'd book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Sage took wonderful care of our babies and home while we were away. We had such peace of mind knowing that they were cared for. We have two dogs with VERY different personalities and sage was able to give them both the attention they needed. Sage was always quick to respond and very easy to work with!”
“Bethany took great care of our Shiba Inu Zoe! She helped guide her with things not to do ( Zoe likes to dig in the backyard right now ), played with her and made sure she’s all taken care of. Zoe really likes Bethany. Definitely will book again!”
“Michael and Zoe are knowledgable dog caretakers who treated our kookie Dalmatian like a member of the family. She had fun with their dogs. I would highly recommend them to dog parents who need to leave their fur babies in good hands.”
About: I have had a dog my whole life and love animals. I love the chance to spend time and care for other's animals as well. I currently work part time because I just moved to Idaho and have availability to care for pets in my free time. I would love to play and walk your dog when I am not at my other job and would love the opportunity to provide overnight care too. I am currently working part time so I have somewhat a lot of availability to care for pets during the week or on the weekends I have a backyard and will be able to take your pet on plenty of walks and give them the environment they need to make it through the day.
About: I’m 24 and I have grown up with dogs in the home and my entire family has dogs. Since I was a little kid I have always loved animals of all kinds! I’m energetic and detailed oriented. You tell me what you need and it’s done! I love cats and geckos, as well as snakes and any other pet you may have! If you are looking for someone who will give your dogs love I’m your girl. I’m very fit and love to go on walks. I’m everything you are looking for and more! I’ve also worked as a dog bather and have handled dogs as tiny as a chihuahua and as big as a Newfoundland! And I have a certificate of completion of Knowing Dogs 101 from Dog Gurus! I’m currently not working, and I understand that some pets and their owners feel more comfortable in their own home and I have the time and love to give to your pet, my boyfriend currently works nights so trying to fill my day with animals as I have so much love to give! In your home I will respect your privacy, and only tend to the pets. I will only do what you ask so if you don’t ask it may not get done. But I will work with you to get what you need done!! And make sure that your fur baby is well loved, played with (however they choose), taken on walks as well!
“1 MILLION out of 5 STARS, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Kambry is truly exceptional in every way! Our dogs mean the absolute world to us. With our children grown and out of the house, our two senior pups (13 and 14) are very much our babies. They experience significant anxiety when boarded, so for years we've had someone stay in our home whenever we travel. After almost 10 years with the same trusted sitter, moving to a new state and starting over with someone we'd never met was no small thing. Finding Kambry was an absolute blessing! My husband and I both have demanding executive careers, and we needed someone we could genuinely trust to stay with our pups and take care of our home while away on an important, nearly weeklong business trip. From our very first conversation through her thoughtful follow up after we returned, Kambry was outstanding. Incredibly responsive, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely kind. Her background in the military, fire service, and first responder training initially caught my attention, but it was the way she carried herself and cared for both our dogs and us as their pet parents that really set her apart. She's beyond capable and exceptionally conscientious, while still having the warmth and genuine love for animals that make someone a truly wonderful pet sitter. Her communication deserves its own five star review. Multiple times a day, without ever having to ask, she sent thoughtful updates with the best photos and videos. We could see how relaxed, happy, and loved our dogs were. For anyone who has ever spent a trip worrying about their pets, you know how priceless that is. We didn't spend a single moment wondering how things were going. Her PROACTIVE communication gave us complete peace of mind and clarity. And then there's the house. We'd been in our brand new home for less than two months, so having someone stay there was another leap of faith. Kambry treated it with the same care and respect she gave our dogs, even helping us navigate a few unexpected household matters while we were away. Our home was pristine when we returned, and she even left us a sweet note welcoming us home! What impressed us most was that Kambry didn't simply do everything we asked. She anticipated our needs, paid attention to the smallest details, and made the entire experience effortless. We were able to be fully present on our trip, knowing that everything we cared about most back home was in wonderful hands. Kambry is the rare combination of highly qualified, exceptionally reliable, and genuinely caring. Finding someone who inspires this level of trust and peace of mind is truly priceless. If you're fortunate enough to find an opening on her calendar, BOOK HER! She is absolutely be our first choice every time we travel.”

We are very pleased with Madison and her 13 night stay in our home with our dog. It is difficult to find the right person to trust when leaving home and pets for a long period of time but after meeting her and seeing her with our pet, we felt totally confident that all a would go well. And, it did! Thank you Madison for a job well done.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 930 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Simplot. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Simplot 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 Simplot 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 Simplot 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
