“Allea house/dog sat for 8 nights and everything was handled great! We got pictures and updates everyday. Allea had to handle a health issue with our dog and there was a problem with a smoke alarm which she solved. Our home was spotless when we arrived and our dog had been kept safe, fed and walked. We recommend Rover and Allea!”
“Susan took wonderful care of our kitties and home over the weekend. She is reliable and communicated appropriately during the time she cared for the kitties and our home.”
“Kristen was fantastic! She was so kind, wonderful with our cats, left our home very clean and tidy, and she sent wonderful pictures. I felt so comfortable with her in our home and with our cats and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Emma is a FANTASTIC pet sitter! She went above and beyond any sitter I have ever used before. My dog has a torn CCL and cannot play or go for walks right now, so she brought over interactive games she had to keep Ace occupied while being able to lay down. She also spent time grooming him when not even asked to! Ace is a German Shepherd so you can imagine what feat that is! 😉 She kept me updated on how he was doing, with pictures and videos! I would highly recommend using Emma for your pet and house sitting needs!”
“Vincent was fantastic with our doggies. We are so grateful to have found him to watch the dogs when we are going somewhere the dogs can’t come with. We would feel good about leaving our fur babies with him again. Thank you Vincent!”
“Michelle was so experienced, communicative, and attentive. She went above and beyond, caring for our pups and paying attention to every detail. We arrived back to our dogs happy and healthy! She’s extremely comfortable and knowledgeable with animals who have different needs and energies. 10/10 would recommend and will book again.”
“Our 2 dogs and cat were happy and well taken care of. The house was exactly as we left it. Great communication before, during, and after the 3 night stay. We will definitely be using Remus again.”
About: I grew up around dogs whether it was at home, family members houses or friends houses. I have a lot of experience with dogs of every size. I was 10 years old when I got my first dog, Poppy, and learned everything I needed to know to care for her. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for a few years now and would love to care for yours. My dog usually accompanies me on longer stays if permitted. Pet care is very important and should always fit into any pet owner’s schedule so I have no problem fitting it into mine because they are family. Your furry family member will feel right at home in their own house so that should help keep any anxiety levels down while you are away and it will help with feeding, sleeping and bathing.
“Danielle was everything we hoped for and more, ensuring our cat was visited daily (even on Christmas Day). She sent darling videos and photos and he was obviously given a ton of love. We feel such relief knowing she will be part of our travel plans when we need a cat sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Kimber! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently share my home with six amazing dogs – so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and responsibility it takes to give pets the best care possible. Because of my experience as a multi-dog owner, I’m comfortable with all types of personalities – from playful pups full of energy to seniors who need a gentler touch. I also have hands-on experience caring for special needs and sick dogs, including giving medications, managing health routines, and providing extra comfort when they’re not feeling their best. Whether your dog needs exercise, cuddles, medical care, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own pack. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and cared for, and I promise to give them the same attention and love that I give my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾 Pet care is truly part of my everyday life. With six dogs of my own, caring for animals is second nature to me—I plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks. I’m used to managing different routines, personalities, and even special needs, so fitting pet care into my schedule feels natural. Whether it’s daily exercise, giving medications, or just providing comfort and companionship, making pets feel loved and cared for is something I prioritize every single day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines so pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow feeding instructions, exercise schedules, and any medication needs. I also spend plenty of time giving attention, play, and affection—because I know companionship is just as important as care. I always treat a client’s home with the same respect I give my own, making sure everything stays tidy and secure. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease while I’m there.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals, including dogs from a very young age. I love animals and I have had three jobs in animal shelters or hospitals! I’m a very creative and passionate person and don’t mind watching or walking dogs of any size or type! I hope I can be your next caretaker for your furry friend <3 I’m currently searching for my dream job in animal medicine but until then am looking to help people with their own animals so I have plenty of free time! I will work around whatever rules you have in place for your home and insure your dog/cat gets the best care possible! I have no problem listening to and following rules set In place to ensure you and your animal are happy. I am not currently working so I have plenty of free time and am very happy doing this as my only job at the moment. I make sure I am aware of all exits/entrances in a house and what could possibly be an escape route for a pet! I also have medical knowledge with animals so I know what to look out for!
“She is kind and sent pictures. She took her for walks and played in the back yard with her balls. Coco really likes her. Kelli gave us comfort in leaving Coco with her. We would have her back again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. I’ve had a wide variety of pets over the years, including several rescue dogs, and have spent a lot of time helping them adjust, build trust, and feel safe. I also have experience caring for other people’s pets and always treat them like part of the family. Whether your pet needs patience, playtime, or just some good company, I’m here to help! As a full-time dog sitter, pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. My days revolve around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing loving attention to every dog in my care. Whether it's early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening cuddles, I tailor my schedule to meet each pup's needs. With a flexible routine and a passion for animals, I create a safe, comfortable environment that feels just like home—for them and their owners. Pet care isn’t just part of my life—it is my life. I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly enjoy caring for them. I’ve had a wide variety of pets over the years, including multiple rescue dogs, and I’ve worked closely with them to build trust and confidence. I also have experience looking after other people’s pets and always treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. I make sure pets get out for multiple bathroom breaks a day and can also do multiple walks, depending on your preferences and your pet’s needs. Whether they need extra playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“Laura was wonderful! After meeting her we were very comfortable with leaving our two Shelties with her and having her stay in our home. It was a great relief to find Laura! She was very affectionate with our dogs and showed great attention to understanding the details of caring for them. She bonded with them immediately, and we are sure they missed her after we returned home. Laura stayed in touch while we were away and sent us some really great pictures. We recommend Laura without hesitation!”
About: Hi, My name is Christie. I have been an avid animal lover ever since I was a toddler. My family had our share of pets from dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, doves, and even a snake (although I will admit I that he was my brother's and I respectfully chose not to interact with him like I did all the others). On top of that, my grandparents were farmers with chickens, pigs, cats and dogs and I loved being with them all. Animals bring so much joy into our lives and I honestly think they have much to teach us. As an adult, I have loved my own and she was the love of my life. I have been pet/house sitting for 25+ years. I first started caring for friends pets, but at a certain point, the word got out and I was being referred to other pet sitting gigs. Many of those lead to new friendships of which I’m very grateful. I have loved each and every experience. My love of animals is one that dogs can usually sense right away and I'm proud to be an auntie of many wonderful pets. I enjoy taking dogs for walks in the woods or to the park to play fetch (or even soccer… That was my girl's favorite!) While staying at your home, I make sure they are fed and well cared for, with plenty of belly rubs and snuggles on the couch (if they are allowed). I have pet sit for cats, fish, and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've stayed at peoples homes for as little as 2 nights and up to 6 weeks. And, at times, I've welcomed some into my home. I’ve watched up to 4 dogs at a time (ranging from puppy to senior) and two cats. Those circumstances usually call for specific needs of which was different for each, but no matter the different food and meds and potty break reqs, being in there own home was no different than normal and all worked out smoothly. I have walked siblings separately and together, some on lead and some not... whatever the pup is used to and the owner specifies has always worked! ;) All of our outings are fun whether we go out to play catch, splash in the rivers, hike on the trails or simply take in all the smells and sights throughout the neighborhood and local parks. I'm currently taking time off of work to work on some personal projects so my availability is somewhat flexible. I will traveling throughout the NW, SE while also spending time here in Boise. Im open to sits locally, as well as around the nation. As an avid animal lover, it is a complete joy to love on your “love bugs" and simply BE with them in the comfort of their own home. I also welcome certain size/breeds into my own home for shorter stays. When I pet sit, I send photos of your pet’s smile and or activities that we share. And, I'm happy to look after and water any plants or garden areas. Otherwise, I am a responsible 56 year old woman who appreciates clean spaces. You can rest assured that I’d care for your pets and your home like my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tolo
We always enjoy having Allea house sit for our pets. She provides the perfect amount of updates, and keeps the space just the way we left it. We have always felt we can trust her and have peace of mind while we are out of town! Thank you so much for watching Teddy, Quimchee, and the frogs!
Gabrielle was wonderful while my husband and I were away for the weekend! She was very communicative and incredibly patient with our cat, who isn’t always the friendliest with guests. She was also very understanding of our dog Teddy’s anxiety and took great care of him, even when he had a few anxious accidents. Our home was exactly as we left it, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We would be happy to have her watch our pets again!

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 Tolo 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 Tolo 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Tolo 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.
