“Cailin went above and beyond for our girls! One of them is a very special needs dog, and Cailin came over multiple times before our trip to learn how to properly care for our floof. She is highly communicative, responds quickly, and we came home to a house that looked like we had never even left. Our girls absolutely loved her, and we loved her too! Selfishly, I don’t want anyone to steal her away so she can always be available for us! 😂”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at my home for the weekend and took great care of my two cats and my senior Shih Tzu, who requires a little extra attention. I came home to happy pets, a tidy house, and complete peace of mind. She communicated well throughout her stay and made everything feel effortless. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Izze was fantastic! We booked her last minute for a holiday trip and couldn’t be more happy. She was thorough, communicative, and took great care of our pup. Couldn’t ask for a better house/dog sitter!”
“Daniel took AMAZING care of my pets and my home!! I have chickens, an indoor cat, & a 12 month old Great Pyrenees, who is pretty difficult. He is either high strung or napping… there’s no middle ground. Daniel’s calm demeanor was just what was needed to create a successful stay with my dog! He took him walking with other dogs which was great & Daniel seemed to have managed quite well. The hens and kitty appeared to have also been taken care of perfectly! I hope to have Daniel come back and stay for my next getaway! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received! He was flexible with scheduling, communicated regularly so we always knew how things were going, and his rates are very reasonable. He’s also incredibly adaptive; he noticed things that needed attention and handled them on his own without having to ask, like cleaning up messes without missing a beat. You can tell he genuinely cares about the well-being of the animals in his care. Our dogs were happy and loved, and that’s all we could ask for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Sara was a great sitter for our 2 younger dogs. House in good shape when we returned as well. She was flexible to stay a little overtime when our return flights got delayed. Would certainly use Sara again.”
“Kayla was amazing. Our dogs always get supper stressed when we have to board them so we tried having a house sitter. We had lots of good contact with Kayla with how the dogs were adjusting to her and the dogs seemed to like her. Kayla left the house clean.”
About: Growing up I’ve always had multiple dogs. I was the one always responsible for feeding and taking care of them. I’ve always loved being around dogs and cats and being able to take care of them! I don’t currently have a full time job! I am between semesters in college so I’m just trying to pick up some side jobs to make some money! My home is in the south side of Nampa with a love of farm land surrounding. I have two labs that are very energetic and love going on walks. We go almost every morning and night. There is a nice 1 mile walk path that we talk that is super pretty and right next to my house. In a clients home I would be respectful to their home and follow what ever guidelines they set for me in regards to taking care of their pets and/or home
“Ashley was pretty much the best house sitter i have had in a very long time. My cat was very well taken care of, she sent plenty of updates, kept my home in good order and even left me a thank you card and drew a picture of my cat by hand for me :) Will be using her again!!!”
“Katie dog sat for my 2 dogs for 2 nights in our home. She made sure my dog with a heart condition took her meds 4 times per day and took them for walks. She made sure they were fed and sent me messages on questions or comments she had. Our home was left in tact the way we left it. Thank you Katie for sitting with our dogs!”
About: I’ve had many dogs of my own and animals such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys. Very reliable and knowledgeable in animal loving and care. I currently am off for the summer and looking for part time work. I am available day and night to check on animals when needed. At this time I don’t offer pet car services in my home. However in your home I can make sure you pet gets the best care and is well taken care of.
“This was our second time booking Erin and it was just as great as the first time. Erin took amazing care of our three dogs. The dogs were relaxed and content when we returned. Erin is very professional and capable which sets our minds at ease We so appreciate being able to leave our dogs in the hands of someone we trust! Thank you Erin!”
“Tiffany took outstanding care of Lucy in my home while I was gone. She sent me plenty of updates and cute photos of my sweet girl, and I felt confident that Lucy was getting all the love and exercise she needed. Thank you, Tiffany!”
“Just don’t even know where to start. Jessica and her family go above and beyond with every stay. She’s exceptional about communicating with pictures and daily updates, and even an unanticipated vet visit was handled in stride, leaving us with come confidence in her care. Exceptional!!”
“Michael and Zoe are knowledgable dog caretakers who treated our kookie Dalmatian like a member of the family. She had fun with their dogs. I would highly recommend them to dog parents who need to leave their fur babies in good hands.”
“Bethany took great care of our Shiba Inu Zoe! She helped guide her with things not to do ( Zoe likes to dig in the backyard right now ), played with her and made sure she’s all taken care of. Zoe really likes Bethany. Definitely will book again!”

Our dogs are currently looking around the house for Sara. They were glad we're back, to an extent--but they miss her. There was no tip big enough, no commendation great enough than that our dogs love Sara and want her back. She is an excellent caretaker, trustworthy, honest and loves the dogs. What a gift! Thank you, Sara! We'll see you again soon!
Celeste was an absolute joy to work with, what a great blessing to know that my dogs were truly in the Best of Care!! She was most attentive to each dogs’ individual needs and concerns, and very detail-oriented to go beyond what was expected!! Celeste also cleaned up after them and my house was impressively clean!! Most importantly, my pets were happy as she communicated via videos and pictures of all the fun play she devoted to them!! I truly could enjoy my vacation seeing how happy, content and secure they were… Celeste is very dedicated to her work, she combines professionalism with lots of love, genuine caring with her beautiful personality!!!
Margie is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Our dog takes a while to warm up to new people, Margie's patience won her over within a few days. We typically put our dog in our room when we are not home because of her history of jumping the fence when she was younger. We no longer need to do this since Margie proved that she is fine with full access to the house and yard when no one is home. We have a much happier dog and no longer need to worry about her being left alone.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Swartz Corner walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Swartz Corner maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Swartz Corner 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!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
