“Our dogs, Cooper and Rebel had a great time with June and her family! She sent lots of pictures and updates. It was comforting to us that they were well taken care of. We will definitely use June again to watch them!”
“Amazing experience with Kara and her family! They were super communicative and kind and even took Jasper on a walk around their beautiful property. Would definitely recommend!”
“Becky is friendly, sweet, and professional. She handled the drop off so well and knew how to slowly introduce her own dogs to mine. I received daily updates and pictures and really felt like she helped make my dog feel right at home. We’ll be back for sure!”
About: I worked at Yellowstone Bear World for 5 years with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks, and more! I have always been surrounded with pets and currently we have 4 cats and had 2 older dogs that have since passed!! I have taken care of my siblings animals and am comfortable with all sizes and kinds of pets! I grew up in Rexburg, and am currently a college student at BYUI! So I will have plenty of time to give your pets lots of love and care in between and after classes! Since I’ve grown up with animals, I have been tasked with taking care of our neighbors pets and my older siblings pets! Dog-walks, playing, and so much more! I’ll keep them company and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and having fun!
“Shaedyn was amazing! Charlie was happy, healthy, fed, and entertained. She sent great photos of their adventures and we will absolutely be contacting her in the future for more stays. Thanks a lot!”
“We had the BEST experience with Camile and Aaron. She sent so many pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved and really put me at ease. Milo is normally very shy, but from the very beginning he was completely comfortable with her and her family. He usually doesn’t eat much when he’s being watched by someone else, but he ate all of his food twice a day the entire time, which says everything about how happy and comfortable he was. I could tell he was truly cared for and loved. I was honestly worried he wouldn’t want to come home with me after!! Such an amazing experience and I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: I’ve had and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve trained multiple dogs and I love every animal I come in contact with. My husband and I love to run, and take our two dogs every where - we would love to have more companions on the trail. I work from home, so can give your dog whatever attention they need. They must do well with other dogs, and we always go for runs and walks after the work day. I will happily do potty breaks, walks, hikes or even runs depending on your dogs age and breed. Please be clear on what your routine is like, as we do walks or hikes every day. My dogs have expectations with trail etiquette and yours will too. Please be honest about if they do best on leash or off leash - as they will need to be able to quickly recall. Do they have any dietary restrictions? Treats they don't do well with? Can they swim?

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Squirrel home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Squirrel.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Squirrel sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
