About: I'm a huge dog lover and I enjoy spending time and learning more about dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has 4 year old Standard Poodle that I've helped raised and take care of since he was a puppy. That being said, I understand the amount of patience and attention dogs need to feel happy and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and reserved or somewhere in between, I'm pretty confident handling all types of energy levels. I believe that every dog deserves the best care, love, and a safe, comfortable environment while their family is away. When I'm with your dog, they'll always be my top priority. I'll treat them with lots of love, care, and affection like I would with my own pets. Making sure they feel comfortable, happy and safe is important to me! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and dependable hands. :) Currently my schedule is very flexible. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and even holidays. Please feel free to message me to ask about my availability!! Let me know what you and your pet needs. I can accommodate to your fur babies daily routine, from feeding to walking, light grooming and more.

About: I've been a professional Dog walker since I was 18 years old, almost 20 years ago. For the past several years I have specialized in dogs that have aggression or behavioral issues. I have done house sitting, boarding and overnight at my clients houses. I looked after, Dogs, Cats, even Lizards and Fish for people on vacation. I look forward to walking your dog or helping with your animals while you enjoy a vacation. I plan on walking your dog for at least 40 minutes, not including pick up time. I start my picks every morning around 11am. Monday through Friday. I can walk weekends on special occasions. I will visit for house sitting up to 3 times per day. I limit my dogs walks to 6 dogs or less. I prefore Medium sized dogs and up, but i'm open the smaller dogs on a client by client basis. I will the dog solo to or 3 times before introducing him into the group. I want him to get used to me and see how he behaves at the dark park.

About: I’ve had many opportunities to work with and sit for multiple different types of pups/dogs as well as kittens/cats. I enjoy seeing the personalities of each that makes them unique to their breed and how they were raised. I currently work out of the home Monday-Thursday leaving room for love, play, and walks in the evening and early morning with a possibility of mid day check ins. I often house/pet sit out of my home at the location the pet lives so they are in the comfort of their own environment, however have provided space at my home in the past. Regular feedings per the request of the owner. Regular walks, play, belly rubs, and scratches. I prefer fenced yards and do have a small fenced in back yard.

About: Hi, I’m Hailey! I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was little—always rescuing, adopting, or begging my family to let me bring home every creature I found (yes, even bugs and fish!). Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same love and attention I give my own. My home is full of love and energy. I have an 12 year-old son who is gentle, playful, and absolutely adores animals. I also have a sweet 4 year-old who keeps to herself and doesn’t interact much but loves watching the pets. Rest assured, your furry (or scaly🤪!) friends will be safe, spoiled, and treated like family here. I’m currently looking to do something I genuinely love—helping care for animals—while also earning a little extra to support my family. Your pets will be in loving, responsible hands. I can’t wait to meet them! During the summer, I have open availability, so your pets will have around-the-clock care and attention. I’m home all day and rarely leave except for quick errands. During the school year, I still offer boarding and daytime care—I work very close to home and always come back during lunch to check in. My schedule is flexible and I’m committed to making it work for you and your pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. Just let me know when you need care, and I’ll do my best to help however I can. Your pets will be loved, spoiled, and safe here—just like family. We have a big fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, or just relax. I also have friendly dogs who love company, but if your pet prefers space or alone time, I’ll make sure their needs are fully respected. I can easily crate your dog if needed or wanted, but we’re big cuddlers over here and love letting animals sleep with us or on the couch with if that’s something your pet enjoys and that’s something you are okay with. :)

About: I’ve owned, loved, and cared for dogs my entire life, including seniors and rescue dogs. One of my dogs lived to be **19 years old**. I rescued her after her previous owner moved to France, and she even understood commands in both **French and English!** She spent her senior years being loved and spoiled alongside my Havanese, Bella. I rescued **Bella at six months old**, and I’ve had the pleasure of spoiling her ever since. She is 13 now. She’s still going strong and remains one of the sweetest dogs I know. I’m also very comfortable caring for larger dogs. I love my daughters’ Boxer and Pit Bull mix and frequently care for them—even letting them pile into bed with me at night. Dogs seem to communicate with us in their own way, and I’ve always felt that I understand them well. **Your dog wouldn’t just be a job to me—they would be treated like family.** As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver, I will ensure your pets receive plenty of attention, affection, patience, and love—and will be treated like family. I am currently semi-retired and therefore have plenty of time to pet-sit and the flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I'm available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard to accommodate small to medium dogs. We have lots of sidewalks for sniffing the roses and other lovely scents along the way. My home is casual and very dog-friendly. I also live in a gated, well-lit neighborhood in case your dog needs to go out at night.

About: Dogs have been able part of my life as long as I can remember, and I cant imagine a home without them. I currently have two of my own, an 11-year old black lab/border collie mix who still has the energy of a puppy, and a 7-year old Brittany spaniel whose life mission is to keep every squirrel in the neighborhood on alert. I have a huge soft spot for animals and truly enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. Whether your pup needs a fun, energy-burning walk or a calm, steady companion while you're away, Im here to help. Im reliable, honest, and always treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own. Your best friend's safety, happiness, and routine will always come first with me. I'd love to help give them the exercise, enrichment, and love they deserve when you can't be there. I currently work full-time, but I always make room in my schedule for the pups I care for. Im available for walks and drop-in visits Mon-Wed between 4pm-5pm, and anytime Thursday- Sunday. Whether ypur dog needs a quick check-in, a potty break, or a good energy-burning walk, I'll be there right on time. Consistency and communication matter to me, and I make sure every visit is dependable and stress-free for both you and your pet. When I care for your dog in your home, I stick to your routine so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them.

About: Hi there! I'm Charley, I’ve recently moved to the Meridian/Boise area from Wyoming. I moved in with my sister who has 2 mini golden doodles who I love to take care of, take on walks, and also get pup-cups with. I grew up with a Rottweiler, beagle, and blue heeler, so I am definitely well rounded when it comes to taking care of different types of dogs. While in high school I talked my mom into letting me get my own dog with all of the included responsibility. One of my favorite parts of having a dog was teaching her all of the basic commands and tricks. I'm passionate about giving dogs the care and attention they need. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, I understand the importance of a well-taken care of and happy pup. Whether it's an overnight stay or a leisurely stroll, I'm here to ensure your furry friend has a great time while you’re away! I’m currently working Monday through Friday from around 8am-5pm with some days only working till noon. I have all nights off, so I will be able to care for the pets however they need. My weekends are usually pretty open with occasionally working some Sundays! I do not offer in home care for your pets at the moment. In clients homes, I will be able to care for your dog as much as he/she needs whether they need multiple walks, specific eating times, or medications.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and structure. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, crate routines, basic commands, and sticking closely to your pup’s normal schedule. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, and I’ll treat yours like my own, with lots of love, attention, and photo updates along the way! I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I already structure my day around my own pup, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends and can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs! I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I have a friendly German Shorthaired Pointer and a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to play. I’m also comfortable with crates and can accommodate your dog’s normal routine, whether that means lots of activity or some quiet time to relax.

I can’t say enough good things about Ava! She did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and her communication was incredible. She sent pictures and updates throughout our trip and made us feel completely at ease. It was so nice to actually relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about the dogs. You can tell she genuinely cares and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Emma and Peter have watched our kitties a couple times before, so I knew I wanted them to watch them while we got married and left the country for our honeymoon! Our cats seem to really enjoy their visits with them, and they always leave things clean and tidy for us for when we get back. They even left us some flowers as a congratulations on getting married. Highly recommend these two!!

Sierra was an excellent sitter. I haven’t ever used rover before but I knew about it from others. Right away she was close to where I lived and had great reviews. She was quick and responsive, immediately making me feel at ease leaving town while she cared for my cat. While I was gone she sent pictures and kept my cat company. I could tell he was comfortable and loved in each photo. She went above and beyond every chance she could to make my cat feel loved and kept me up to speed the whole time. I will definitely be using her again in the future and you should too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
