“With only 3 days before my wedding, I realized that I had no one to help let my dogs out. I sent some late messages and i’m SO fortunate that Bonnie was able to help me out. She was a pleasure to work with, was very communicative, and I would definitely book her again!”
“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!”
“Kara is amazing. My cat is very shy and Kara went out of her way to make friends with Adria. Kara is very kind, prompt and goes above and beyond in her care and attention. I wholeheartedly recommend Kara and we will use her again and again . Thank you Kara❤️”
“Emily is the best cat-sitter that we have ever had! She was responsive and trustworthy, and friendly to boot! She was understanding and flexible and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was well cared for. I can't recommend her more highly.”
“We are so grateful to Ron and Monica for taking such wonderful care of our 17-year-old cat while we were on vacation. She has chronic kidney disease, a heart murmur, and hyperthyroidism, so her care requires extra attention, and they went above and beyond. They came to our home three times a day, fed her, gave her snacks, managed the lights, and kept us updated every step of the way. Thanks to their exceptional care, she stayed healthy and happy the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing our cat and home were in such capable hands. Thank you, Ron and Monica, for your kindness and professionalism! Highly recommend!”
“Sierra was so nice and sweet with my pup. I could tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and even sent me multiple pictures. My dog loved her and seemed to have a great time!”
“Sydney was amazing. It was love at first sight for me and my dog. She was so caring and compassionate. I enjoyed the pictures she sent to confirm he was doing good. I will have her come again next time.”
“Rebecca is such a sweet and genuine soul who our boys love to see when she lets them out in the middle of the day! She is punctual, respectful, great with our pups, sends pics, thorough updates, and is just a wonderful person all around! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“We were out of state and wanted to extend our trip kind of last minute so I reached out to Amber to see if she would be available to do drop ins for our frenchie. She responded immediately letting me know her and her daughter could take turns and they would make it work. Communication was amazing and they were so on top of it. I even had a meal delivery while I was away and she put them away for us. We will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
About: With over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds from dogs and cats to small mammals and even primates. I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and care that goes far beyond the basics. My background includes working in a veterinary hospital as a vet assistant, where I administered medications and supported both routine and emergency care, as well as working at a busy dog daycare and boarding facility. In addition, I spent over seven years working as an undercover animal cruelty investigator. I share my home with my 12-year-old senior beagle, who I rescued from one of my own investigative cases after he had spent eight years in a breeding facility. Helping him transition into a safe, loving home deepened my understanding of trauma-informed care and strengthened my soft spot for seniors and shy dogs who need extra patience, reassurance, and consistency. You can count on me for reliability, safety, and genuine love for every animal I meet. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life! It keeps me active, grounded, and smiling! Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or quiet check-ins with shy or senior pups. It doesn't feel like work, it's the best part of my day! I have a securely fenced yard where my senior beagle enjoys safe outdoor time, so I understand the importance of a safe, comfortable space for every dog. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your routines closely! Whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just lots of cuddles. I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: Hi! My name is Ava. I grew up with dogs all my life and have fostered dogs as well. I also have experience with other animals through fostering (cats, birds, and bunnies). I have fear-free shelter certificates in dog behavior / dog training. As well as years of experience in volunteering at Meridian Canine Rescue. I can train puppies or younger dogs, help with senior dog care, and I have experience with administering medications or helping with dogs with healthcare issues. I have also worked with dogs with behavioral complications in the past that may require more in-depth first-meetings to ensure the dogs are comfortable around me. I am a full-time college student at Boise State University. During my school days (Tuesday/Thursday), I am open to help with whatever is needed after my class times end. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I am typically completely open. If you are interested, then I will send over my schedule to see if it works with you! I have years of experience with dog enrichment, to ensure that your dogs are as happy as can be! I am also open to taking your dogs on walks as often as needed in their routine! Several of my past clients have several dogs, so I am used to walking and taking care of several dogs at the same time. I enjoy providing enrichment and fun training to ensure a healthy and fun environment for your dog. I will also help with whatever dog training that my clients will want help with- I have experience with different training fields, like training dogs to behave well in car rides or to have good walking manners.
“Jordan did a fantastic job with our drop in visits! She arrived on time and made sure our pups had ample play time. She provided photos and a summary after each visit. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Star
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. 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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
