“I have to admit, I was kind of freaking out a little bit. It’s like taking your toddler to preschool Mary Jane had a blast. Thank you so much Bonnie you are the best. Can’t wait to come back again. Let me know when you have an opening.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“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 ❤️”
“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!”
“Allison has been great with my rescued St. Bernard. She has made the transition easy for Nala, but especially for me. Also, she is excellent at communicating with me as a helicopter dog parent.”
“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!”
“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. 😊”
“Colby & David were the best!! They provided great care for our pup who ended up being way more shy than we thought lol. They were very welcoming and were able to take our girl on very short notice, and Mabel had a great time!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Couldn’t be happier with Debi! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Our energetic pup came home happy, and relaxed. Professional communication and great updates throughout. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda is amazing!! I’ve worked from home ever since I got my dog, so I had a lot of anxiety dropping her off all day somewhere with my new job being in an office. But Amanda took amazing care of my pup and it totally helped me feel at ease. She takes her on walks and sends lot of photos.”
“This was a great experience!! He really listened to the needs I expressed and I felt really good about leaving my dogs with him. So much so that I booked another week.”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I have been in the pet care business for 10 years. When I first started working with dogs, I assisted dog walkers that had their own established dog walking businesses. The walkers I worked for provided off leash pack walk adventures! I assisted a number of walkers with their packs of dogs. I learned a lot by assisting different walkers as I got exposed to different methods and strategies of managing the dogs as well as gained experience handling different breeds! It was the most fun I ever had at a job! I decided to get certified in hopes that I could possibly start my own business one day! Boy was I glad I did! The glorious day fell upon me when a walker that I was working for told me that a friend of theirs was selling their business! I was enthralled and decided to take a leap of faith! I bought it from her! I got to finally start my own business! What an amazing experience! I grew steadily and as I grew, I started to add other services to my business. I started to provide in home pet care at my clients' homes. This was such fun because I always felt like I was going on staycation! When I finally got a living situation where I could have pets at my place, I started offering boarding services! This was the ideal situation for all! I got to have groups of dogs over at my place vs. having to be limited to just a dog or two depending on the house I was sitting at! It was so much more fun when the pups had other friends to play with when their owners had to leave them! I was in business for myself for 8 years! This all came to end when I decided to move to Idaho! But I miss being with all the doggos so much so I decided why not try to offer my services here so I can meet some great pups of the gem state! I have experience working with all sizes, a wide variety of breeds, dog that suffer from separation anxiety, senior dogs and puppies! I have worked with balance trainers and positive reinforcement trainers. I have 2 mentors who were in the business for 20+ years that have provided me with a plethora of training and education regarding dog psychology and behavior modification so you can rest assured that I will provide high quality care in a very comfortable home setting where your pup will be cared for as if they were my very own Stormy girl! Yes! I have my very own dog and her name is Stormy! She is a king shepherd who has been grown up walking in off leash pack walks since she was old enough to do so! She does great with all dogs but she especially loves the puppies! Let us know if you are interested in possibly coming over to our place for some fun! We can set up some meet times beforehand to make sure a sleep over would be a good fit! Stormy and I are looking forward to meeting all the gem pups of the beautiful gem state! I work from home, so I am able to stay with your pups pretty much the whole time while they are here! I am able to take dogs 7 days a week! I have a fenced backyard and of course I have my pup who can provide play and entertainment in addition to the love and care I will be providing!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Star
This is the second time that my dogs went to Tasha's for a partial day. It is also their first time to be cared for outside of our home so expectedly one of my dogs the first time was a little uneasy, however the second time immediately as they got out of the car they ran toward her driveway and did not show any concern with me leaving. She comforted them and made them feel at ease. They were very calm when I picked them up. They will be going again soon for a few days and with this past experience it makes me feel at ease.
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 $33.3 per day (as of September 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 417 sitters in Star, 92% 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.
