“Taylor is fantastic!! Friendly, professional, great communication and flexible with my on going schedule changes. She did an in-home drop in to take them out for their business, play with them and give them cuddles. Our pugs love her ❤️ Knowing she was there gave me such peace of mind. We will be using her in the future for all our pug sitting needs.”
“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.”
“Louis was a fantastic pet sitter! Our 3 girls were happy, healthy, and very well played with. Our house was clean, as Louis washed all the dishes he used. He watered my plants and even left a plant that needed a home behind for me! He was timely with communication and punctual with feeding, and he followed directions perfectly. He is the first person I will ask for pet sitting in the future! I highly recommend Louis and his services.”
“Austin took care of our dogs and home while my husband and I were away for a few days. From the very start he was very responsive. He came to do a meet and greet and I knew then he would be a good fit because our dogs seemed to really like him. He was an excellent communicator, sent daily updates and pictures, and seemed very attentive to our dogs and home. In fact, one of our dogs had an upset tummy and needed to be fed a special diet and extra probiotics and Austin handled that situation quite well. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. We will definitely be rebooking Austin for future house sits!”
“Angelica was great! She communicated with us prior and during the house stay and set clear expectations. This was our first time doing house sitting and we were thrilled! Our pups are terrified of fireworks and she sent plenty of pics of them cuddled up with her relaxing. Overall a great experience with someone that you can tell loves animals! We will definitely use her again!”
“Sarah did an amazing job with a last minute booking. She took on 3 working dogs, one of whom has heart issues, medications, and special feeding instructions. She and I stayed in communication the whole time and it went off without a hitch…on my end anyways. Sarah was willing to come back in case of any travel issues which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely use her again as I came home to 3 happy dogs!”
“Anna was a wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Yuki, while we were away for a week. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat who had clearly been well cared for and enjoyed Anna’s company—she cuddled with her, which is always good to see! Anna was attentive, responsible, and left our home in excellent condition. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy sitter.”
“Atlas was great with our animals! Our Dog and Cat were both very well cared for. Atlas was a great communicator and sent us updates every day while we were gone, will definitely be utilizing her services again next time we are gone 😊”
“Kristina and winter are awesome. Kristina understood the assignment of working dogs and killed it. Good communication, problem solver, and the dogs were still alive when I returned. Winter provided a job for Siouxxsie and Saxxon which kept them busy looking out for him. Definitely a keeper house sitting duo”
“Sandra is good with pictures and communication. I personally like to check in to see how the dogs are doing and my calls or texts were always welcome. When we got home the house was very clean and the dogs were happy after being well cared for. They enjoyed their walks with Sandra and David and it sounds like they were good boys for them. Thank you again for a great first pet set!”
“Michelle was fantastic and I will absolutely be rebooking! My animals loved them and I was kept in the loop with pictures and updates throughout my leave! Very kind and detail oriented and a fantastic communicator!”
“Michelle did great staying a weekend with our high anxiety pup. He seemed happy with less anxiety than normal after leaving him for a weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as if she had never even been there. We really appreciate her time with Gibson and would contact her again for pet sitting.”
“Bryce is amazing! He is such a nice person! He took wonderful care of Skeeter at the house. Skeeter told us that she had a great time with Bryce. She even went to look for him when he left. We highly recommend him to take wonderful care of your animals! 😃🐶!”
“Athena was a wonderful sitter for our dog Hilo. She was patient, caring and responsible. She's a great communicator, kind and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone. She's a trustworthy person who is dependable. We felt right at home having her in our home and are grateful for her.”
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.

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 Trail 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 Trail 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 Trail 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.
