About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I have over 3 years of experience working as an assistant manager at a dog boarding facility. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always had a strong love and understanding for animals. Through my work, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including high energy and working dogs such as Police K9s. This experience has helped me become confident handling a wide variety of temperaments and behaviors while always prioritizing safety, patience, and consistency. I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they’re in my care, and I’m happy to provide regular photo updates and communication throughout my time with your pet, so you can feel confident they’re being well cared for. A little more about me personally, I moved to Idaho from Washington in May of 2025 and married my college sweetheart in August of 2025. Outside of pet care, I enjoy hunting, camping, hiking, and photography. I also own a 19 year old Quarter Horse named Opie, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pup like they’re one of my own! I currently work a full time job from 8–5, but I’m available for pet care before and after work and make it a priority to fit appointments into my schedule. Outside of work, I spend a lot of my free time caring for my own animals, including my dogs and horse, Opie! Safety is my highest priority, given my experience at a dog boarding facility I know the best ways not only to keep your dog safe and healthy, but happy as well!
“Our dog loves Casey and she has been such a help when both me and my husband have to go into work. She plays with our dog, takes her on walks, feeds her, and takes her potty. We will definitely have her come again!”
About: I’ve watched all types of dogs throughout my life whether big or small and I know how much these little guys mean to you! I’m waiting to find my own 🥹 I’m currently working on growing my own business so I have plenty of time on my hands! I’m available short notice as well as being booked out! Any instructions you give me for your fur baby will be done to a T. I am very particular about doing the job correctly and also what you’re little one is used to, to create stability and trust. :)
“Kimberly was amazing. Dropped in morning and evening to feed/play with our dogs while we were out of town. Kept us updated with photos and via text message. I seriously have no faults on Kimberly and her service. She managed 4 complex doggos - one has cancer, one has wobblers syndrome, one is a puppy, and the other being the dominant leader of the pack. Highly recommend Kimberly!”
“Tina was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She is communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy. I really appreciated the updates and photos. I would gladly book Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m the type of sitter who talks to your pet like they’re my best friend and makes sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m comfortable with all ages, whether it’s helping a puppy learn the ropes or giving extra patience and care to seniors. I have a day job, but I’m always available for pet care in the mornings, after 5 p.m., and overnight. Wednesdays and weekends are completely open, so I can give extra time and attention then. I make it a priority to show up with care, energy, and consistency whenever I’m with your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or medication—so your pet feels safe and secure. I respect your space, keep things clean, and aim to make your pet feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away.
“So nice to have Ron take care of Pig, our loveable but easily frightened Himalayan during a recent out-of-town trip to see family. We came back to a healthy, happy cat, which was so wonderful. Definitely plan to use Ron for our next trip!”
“Cassidy is THE best. She came over before the visits to meet us and our dog. She even sent me pictures during our time away so we knew our fur baby was doing great. I would totally trust my fur baby to Cassidy again and I highly recommend her!”

Your pets will feel right at home in our safe, family-oriented environment, and we are committed to caring for them as if they were our own. We offer a true “home away from home” experience—no kennels. Pets are welcome on furniture, have full access to our home, and can enjoy a large, fenced backyard for play and exercise. We also provide daily walks (weather permitting), typically in the early morning and evening. Someone is always home, so your pet will receive constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of affection. We also offer convenient pick-up and drop-off services within a 5-mile radius. Our home includes six young children, so we do require that dogs are comfortable and friendly around people. Our children are taught to interact gently and respectfully with animals, and they love playing outside and engaging with our visiting pets. Cats are cared for individually, and we are happy to accommodate those who may be more reserved or less social. Please note that we often host multiple dogs at a time. If you are specifically looking for one-on-one care, feel free to reach out—we may be able to accommodate depending on availability. Thank you for considering us. We look forward to providing your pet with a safe, loving, and enjoyable stay! My husband and I do this full time so we have plenty of time to give lots of love and cuddles to Your fur baby. The kids are in school most of the day and it’s just my husband and I and our younger kids. We like to let the dogs come and go into the back yard as they please and feel at home. We will make sure your pup is safe and well taken care of while your away all while burning off some energy and having fun! We only watch pets in our home.
“Ashley was fantastic. She showed up with a C notebook, took notes, asked all the right questions. She stayed in communication with us about the cats and left the most adorable drawing of the kitties for us when we got home. 10 out of 10!”

I have been a house-sitter and cared for others animals while they have been on vacation or working extended hours. I am also a proud owner of a smart beautiful German Shepard that I consider my fur baby. I work in the medical field as a phlebotomist and work early business hours. I am free in the evenings and on weekends I would even be more than thrilled to have them come play with my pup as well! I am respectful and do not drink or do drugs and would never disrespect your home or your animals. I do have two toddler. I am a stay at home mom with some extra free time.

We start our days early on our feet outside before the heat gets to us. Typically 2 walks a day. Fed daily always access to outside and water.
“Kimberly was super communicative and responsive, she was also friendly and her mom was willing to jump in and help out with my medically complex kitty when needed for the first couple of visits while my kitties got comfy and familiar which was a huge win for us all I think! I’m so grateful to them both for being willing to help me out and watch my boys, I’ll absolutely be asking to book again :) Thank you Kimberly!”
About: The ability to care for young and senior pets. I have experience in giving medications or shots if needed. Assessing animals behaviors in a proper manner. I currently work from home and my flexibility allows for early-morning walks, midday check ins to ensure every pet gets the attention needed, whenever necessary. Pets will enjoy a comfortable stay with access to a securely fenced yard and the assurance of a clean and sanitary environment maintained through diligent cleaning practices.
About: I've had dogs my entire life! My husband and I have two sweet pups (a 70 lb Goldendoodle and a 6 lb Morkie) who are the center of our days. We both retired early and spent the last couple of years traveling around the country and pet-sitting for people who were on vacation. We enjoyed sits with countless dogs and cats (and even chickens and lizards!) until we bought a house and moved to Eagle last October. I'm excited to find a new way to connect with dogs and cats in our area! I'm happy to enjoy the outdoors walking with your pup or snuggling on the couch... whichever they prefer! I have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs and am also comfortable giving medication (both oral meds and shots). Since I am retired my daily and weekly schedule is completely flexible based on your pet's needs! Just let me know what works for your household! I am happy to spend time outside in the fresh air walking your dog(s) or playing outside with them. I am physically active and enjoy walks and hikes. If they prefer, I am also happy to come to your house for snuggles on the couch!

Aimee and her son Jacob took very good care of my dog Daisy. It was a bonus that they live in my neighborhood. They followed all my care instructions. I really appreciated them coming over for a meet and greet beforehand and the updates with photos of the drop in visits. Most importantly, Daisy seemed happy and looked well when we returned home. We will definitely use their service again!
Elisabeth was wonderful for the week I have been away. My Molly had recently lost both of her companions and she was nervous and upset about my leaving. Elisabeth was so Great with her and followed all the instructions I left. She took LOTS of photos each visit and kept me well informed. I felt relaxed and happy that she was caring for my pet
Kimberly was amazing. Dropped in morning and evening to feed/play with our dogs while we were out of town. Kept us updated with photos and via text message. I seriously have no faults on Kimberly and her service. She managed 4 complex doggos - one has cancer, one has wobblers syndrome, one is a puppy, and the other being the dominant leader of the pack. Highly recommend Kimberly!
This is my first time using Rover and I didn’t know what to expect. I am pleased to give Aleisse 100 out of 10 stars! She is so good with my pets and has been very responsive and respectful of our requests. She’s also a fantastic photographer! She has gone above and beyond and we would hire her again in a heartbeat!❤️

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Star stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Star 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!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Star with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
