“What a wonderful experience all around! Wonderful people, wonderful home, wonderful other dogs to with whom to play! Roxy most certainly enjoyed her time with you! I’ve never seen her play with other days as much as she did with your goldens!”

“Well all I can say is Jill is a godsend! I was referred to her by some neighbors in my community. My dog is a rescue and doesn’t have very much confidence or socialization . She said that was fine and she would work with him. Jill is very calm and definitely knows what she is truth dogs. She has a great fenced in backyard where he can run a play. Jill has two dogs of her own that Odin got a long with pretty darn quick. I would recommend Jill 100%. I’m so happy I found her ❤️”

About: Reliable, Loving Dog Care—Like Family 🤍 Hi there! I’ve been around dogs my entire life—growing up in a family that always had them, I naturally became the go-to person for feeding, walking, bathing, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I’m very comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—not just “watching” them, but interacting, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also have a 6-year-old daughter who absolutely adores animals and wants to be a veterinarian someday. She loves helping give extra attention, playtime, and affection (always supervised, of course!), which means your pup will get lots of love and engagement. I take routines and instructions seriously and want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾🤍 I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog! They will be treated like part of our family, with lots of attention, playtime, and care you can feel confident about. 🥰 I currently am working from home, so my schedule is open as my job allows me to have a lot of flexibility. So even though I do work during the week, I will be able to walk, feed, and play with the dog anytime. My availability is during the week and weekend, any time. I live in a clean, quiet 2-bedroom townhome that provides a safe and comfortable environment for pets. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through regular walks and outdoor breaks throughout the day. My community also has 2 dog parks built in, pups love it there! 🐾 Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I prioritize creating a calm, structured routine so they feel secure and at home. Walks are always done on leash, and I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My home is kept tidy and pet-safe, with a cozy space for rest and relaxation. I also follow all care instructions closely to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained exactly how you prefer. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect clear communication, frequent updates, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“This was the second time I had my pups stay with Ellen for doggie day care while I had to attend a dr appt. I am from out of town and I have to visit often for doctors so having Ellen watch over my pups when they can’t be with me really helps put my mind at ease and makes it possible for me to bring my pups with me to Boise. She always sends pictures of my pups and usually makes me laugh with their antics 😂 I’m always nervous leaving my babies but I know they are safe with Ellen. 😊”

“Michelle was great! She updated me throughout the day of how Doc was doing and had an amazing home. She had other sweet dogs he could play with and a large backyard. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Nicole is fantastic! Riley had a great first play date at her house. She sent me videos to let me know he was doing just fine! She is so attentive and caring, and I’m very happy to know I can count on her to love on my pup! Thank you Nicole.”

“Dylhan was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with. She cared for my babies like they were her own (and her little puppers are so cute and happy!). This was the first time one of my dogs was away from me and he had a great time until the very end while I got to meet the puppies and talk more with Dylhan. He wanted to keep playing! My anxious dog who has had experience away did great as well. Dyhlan made him comfortable and sent me updates with pictures and videos and cared for him when his anxiety made him nauseous. Absolutely can't recommend them enough and very thankful for their help with caring for my babies!”

“Alex was great with our pups Clark and Winnie! She was communicative throughout the day and was sure to keep us updated with pictures and videos. They loved playing with Alex’s dog Hank and they were extremely well taken care of. Both dogs asleep before they even made it home each night, I highly recommend!”


“Wow. Karen and her family were so great to my pup - lots of love, walks and patience when he threw up in their car (he's never done that before). Our Bailey was treated like family, and exactly like we would want. We will be booking with them again.”

“Skye and Nolan are fantastic! They took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved all the attention. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to others!”

“Omgosh Kim and family were amazing to take in our Husky on Christmas eve for a few hours. They had a great backyard to play in. Also pictures send while he was there. 5 stars thank you for loving on our furbaby.”

“Amanda was so wonderful and I’m so grateful she could take Millie at the last minute! She entertained her and spoiled her! Her dogs are wonderful and tired out my Millie dog!”


“Debi was awesome! We were in town for about 10 days and we wanted to find a good place where our dog, Cooper/Collie-Mix, could go play with other dogs and have some space to run outside (since I was having to work in a hotel room). Debi was totally flexible and empathetic to our situation. She normally only takes small dogs, so this was already a favor to us. She has an entire room dedicated to dog play & filled with all types of toys! Cooper had a blast with his new friends and all the fabulous toys, he was in absolute doggy heaven. The pictures she sent made us feel at ease that we made the right choice! He was tuckered out in the evenings, so we knew he had a great day if exercise & fun! We will definitely call on Debi again when we're back in town. Virtual hug Debi!! Dawn & Mike of Mr. Coops”

“Phedre has been amazing with our dog Millie. She’s done some drop in visits for us and watched her for the day currently and I feel so at peace knowing my dogs being taken care of so amazingly. We will absolutely be useing her again”

“Andrew took excellent care of Loki! He regularly sent pictures and updates. Andrew's calm demeanor complements Loki’s anxious personality, and they worked well together. Loki also enjoyed running outside in the backyard with the other dogs and came back home happy.”


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. :)

This was Hazel’s first daycare visit with Aimee, Derek, and their son Jacob. Their household is very welcoming and dog friendly. The visit is in prep for a multiple day visit in a few months. Hazel did well and was I told she played with their dogs and hug out with Jacob during her stay. All good in my book. Happy pup!!

Kimberly was so awesome! So accommodating even last minute for holiday we visited family & Kimberly was so sweet to take care of our doodles! She has great immediate communication, honest, caring, able to even do a meet & greet ! We felt lucky & safe for Kimberly & family to take care of our doodles & able to meet other sweet dogs on site ! Thanks Kimberly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Star on Rover is $29.97 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Star commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 430 sitters in Star, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
