“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”
“Lindsay was amazing!!! Our 5 month old puppy stayed with her for over a week and it was the best experience. She worked with her on some basic training, got her to sleep in a crate and sent daily pictures and updates! We will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Bob & Vicky were fantastic & their home is set up perfectly for our 2 pups who love a backyard and quick access with doggie door along with lots of attention & loving. We are thrilled to have found this ideal home away from home for our treasured family members! Thanks so much Bob & Vicky!”
“We left our puppy for the first time with Elise and it was a great experience! She was so kind and made it so easy! She even texted us updates with pictures while we were gone! We are so grateful for her!”
“Daniel was extraordinary with my Boston terrier. He was intuitive and flexible with my dogs wants and needs and made him feel right at home. The pup had a great vacation with Daniel. Thank you so much, will absolutely come again.”
“Elizabeth & Alexander were so amazing! I went on a trip where I had no cell service and felt completely comfortable to leave my dog in their care. I came back with so many updates. My dog has many, many quirks and he was so happy to be in their home! I would recommend them to everyone.”
“Dylan watched my dog at his apartment over a long weekend and it went great! I got photo updates and easily coordinated drop of / pick up with fast response times. Would use Dylan’s dog walking services again.”
“My Golden Retriever Murphy had a great vacation staying with Alisa and her family. Alisa is very easy to work with, communicates well, and she leaves daily updates. I felt that Murphy was in good hands while I was gone for a week. Thank you, Alisa.”
“Angela always does a wonderful job taking care of Zeus. He is a difficult dog in that he eats everything on the floor and she is so meticulous and makes sure he doesn't get a hold of anything. ”
“My dog loved her stay with Tina! She was immediately comfortable and it was obvious she was well taken care of. Tina has a big back yard that any dog would love. My dog played and ran around so much during her stay. I received regular updates on how she was doing for the few nights that I was away, which I really appreciated. I would recommend Tina to anyone looking for a loving and comfortable home for their dog to stay.”

“Alinda communicated well, was very responsive, and took good care of my cat! She is reliable and friendly. If I was living in Boise longer I would definitely rebook her again for future trips.”
“First, I want to thank Rover for creating and offering such a valuable service. Secondly, I want to thank Suzanne for providing exceptional care to Bob and our home during our week-long vacation. During our absence, we had an issue that we needed Suzanne's help in resolving and she did so with a can-do attitude and we were able to resolve it over the phone. That was invaluable but Suzanne took it all in stride. Our home and Bob were provided top-notch care and simply cannot say enough what a great match Suzanne was for our home and Bob. Thank you Suzanne for also feeding the hummingbirds and taking such good care of the place. We highly recommend you for house/pet sitting and would be a reference for you at any time! All the best, Jo Ann and Ross”
“Stephanie is amazing! Her storytelling of her visits get me every time and it makes me feel like I’m there with them and I know she’s enjoying her time with my furry love bug 🐈⬛ HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Sarah always does a fantastic job. Its always scary leaving my very senior (and grumpy) kitty in someone else's hands but I know he is well cared for by Sarah. I hope to continue to book with her for all my future trips.”
“Christin did a great job taking care of my cats. All my 3 cats looks happy and healthy. She also kept the house clean and followed the instructions. She shared updates and photos/videos. She created her own checklist of my instructions and has given me updates daily. I am happy with her service and would love to book her again :)”
“I hired Kayla for the first time last week. She did a great job, very responsible. She's now at the top of my "go-to" list the next time I need a cat sitter. Good job, Kayla!”
“Renee is wonderful! Super reliable, efficient, and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with our kitties. She has become our go-to cat sitter for every time we are out of town!”
“Nicole was amazing with our super senior kitty. Our old lady has happy to see us, but not jumpy or upset as she can sometimes be after a few days of our absence. Nicole really understood the need for routine to help keep our kitty comfortable and happy. We'll be calling Nicole again!”
“Sara was able to accommodate a last minute request after our original pet sitting plans fell through. She took great care of our cats and I would definitely work with her again!”
“Morgan was excellent in taking care of our bashful cat. Seeing pictures of the two of them getting along so splendidly made us relax and enjoy our vacation even more!”
“Our very shy kitty loved Meredith! He was soaking up the affection she gave him and I felt better knowing he was being cared for my someone so sweet and attentive.”
“Tiffany cared for my two cats while my pup and I went camping for a weekend. I had no service during the entire trip, which would normally make me feel anxious about leaving pets at home, but I was confident that they were in good hands! Once I got service again, I caught up on all the detailed updates Tiffany provided about my happy kitties.”
“This sitter went above and beyond! We had to leave town for a few days and she was able to help with our last minute request. We loved seeing the picture updates and hearing about our rambunctious cats. Great communication and care. Thank you!!”

“Elise was great with our dog and clearly knew how to handle dogs. She walked him before briging him inside which is a good way to help a dog connect with someone new. She sent photos throughout the day of our dog relaxing at her house and hanging with other dogs. We'll definitely reach out again when we need help with our dog!”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover with a big heart for animals. From energetic puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve cared for pets of all personalities and needs — and I treat every one of them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique routine and personality. You can count on me for: ✨ Reliable, on-time visits 🐶 Lots of love, attention & play 🐾 Updates with photos and messages 🐕 Experience with dogs, cats, and small animals Your pets deserve more than just basic care — they deserve comfort, companionship, and someone who genuinely enjoys being with them. That’s exactly what I provide. Let’s make sure your best friend gets the care (and cuddles) they deserve while you’re away! 💛 I currently work from home during the week and part time at a spa on the weekends. I have tons of free time and flexibility with my schedule. I have a full chain link fenced yard with doggy door access to the house. I also have the space to be able to accommodate crates if necessary.
“Andi and Tim were awesome!! They met us with so much love, excitement and willingness to accept Rollie as her quirky self. Not only were they flexible but they sent me photos n messages to reassure me that Rollie was having the best time and in great hands while they got their dog fix haha. It was great and would 100% recommend them as well as love to book them again next time I’m in town.”
“Sarah was very considerate to my lil' puppers! She kept me updated through out the day with messages, pictures, and videos. They have a yard so my Tambi also had the chance to run around. They have one other dog that was very amicable towards my little one and overall I felt very comfortable leaving my Tambi with them for doggy daycare. Will definitely seeking their care again in the future!!”
“I brought TWO dogs to Chunli very last minute. I had my dog and my daughter's dog. Chunli was incredibly sweet to them. She took them on several long walks and my daughter's dog is a RELENTLESS player with balls and Chunli very patiently played with her for way longer than I would have! They each had different feeding instructions and different dog foods and she followed all the instructions to the letter. The dogs were picked up at the end of a long day happy and barely even noticing I was there. I would totally use Chunli again.”
“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”
“Amy was the best! Not only did she take such great care of my dog, she also went above and beyond to allow me to drop off a little early and pick up a little late. 10/10 experience with her!!”
“DeHanna was super sweet with my pup! She was extremely quick to respond and I could tell Morel enjoyed being with her pack during a three day day care stay! Would absolutely book with DeHanna and crew again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter! Kelly was so warm, welcoming, and flexible with our timing. Coco immediately felt at home and had a wonderful time playing with Deyo. Kelly went above and beyond by sharing local recommendations that helped us make the most of our quick Boise visit. We had complete peace of mind knowing Coco was in such caring hands. We are incredibly grateful and would happily book with her again!”
About: My wife and I love dogs and are excited to have the opportunity to care for your small to medium breed non-aggressive dog(s) under 35 lbs. (Please be advised that our experience has shown that the high energy cattle/sheep dogs, shepherds, etc., are generally not a good fit for us). We both have had dogs all of our lives. We have the experience of caring for dogs through their feeding, grooming, exercising, bathing, and of course lots of loving through their senior years. We are both retired, so your dog(s) will have lots of loving attention and care throughout its/their stay. We have a doggie door so your dog(s) can have free access to our large fenced backyard. We generally accept only one client at a time, so we can give your dog(s) lots of attention and love. We do sometimes allow an overlap with another client's dog, but only if we know the dogs involved get along well. We have one dog, Jax (Cavalier King Charles). He is very loving, playful, and unaggressive. Weather permitting and with your approval, we will include your dog(s) in our daily walks in our neighborhood and excursions to local parks. However we do not allow our dog and your dog(s) in "dog parks" and do not allow them to have exposure to other dogs on our walks. Since we are retired, we will also give lots of cuddles and play in between outings, to keep them engaged. We have a dog toy box full of toys for them to play with, if they want. Just click on our profile pictures to see our "Doggie Hall of Fame" photos which show our care of our clients' dogs. We will follow your instructions, including for special needs, to make sure of your pet(s)’ total care and safety. We have a large and comfy single level home with 24/7 access to a large secure backyard and a doggie door. We will give potty breaks to those dogs that don't want to use the doggie door every couple of hours or as needed. We also have 24/7 video surveillance both inside and outside for their safety. Your dog(s) will have access to the entire house and is/are welcome to cuddle on the furniture, and can sleep in our bedroom in a doggie bed or crate, whichever your pet prefers. However, we do not allow dogs to sleep on our bed. Please let us know if you have any questions or special needs for your dog(s).
“Marie has been caring for our lab, Mia, four days a week since she was 12 weeks old (now almost 11 months) and I couldn’t imagine anyone better! Mia is always happy to go to Marie’s house and loves getting to play with the other puppies she cares for. Marie is so sweet and caring and has been very helpful when Mia has gotten sick and needed special attention, medications, eye drops, and special meals. I don’t ever worry about her when she is at Marie’s. She is also very flexible about working with my and my fiancé’s crazy healthcare work schedules which we greatly appreciate! Thanks for all you do Marie!”
About: I have had Dogs my whole life. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs. I have taken care of friends and families pets throughout the years. I can administer medications if required.

I can send updates and pics/videos throughout their stay with me. You can feel assured your dog will be in good hands while you go about your day/night or vacation.
“We put in a very last minute request for a sitter for our 2 dogs and Maddy happily accepted! Seamless communication, drop off, and pickup! Dogs were well taken care of for the few hours they were with her!!”
About: I have about six years of pet sitting experience, as well as crate training. I am extremely responsible and know that your pet is your baby! I would prefer to watch animals at the owners home as I have two boxers of my own🤗 I’m active and love to go on walks, especially with dogs! I work from home as a Recruiter for a local caregiving agency so I consider myself very flexible and easy to work with. As of right now, I am available anytime of the week and day. Please give me at least a day notice, but I will except last minute request if I can make it happen. Keeping your pet safe, it's my first priority, and will give the same love that he or she will be used to. If, and when you need me to go to your place of residence to watch, I will adhere to any instructions you give me and make sure to accommodate any request you may have.
“They were able to take Zeus at the last moment to help us out. Zeus loved it there he was exhausted after the first day. Great couple to take care of our fur baby. Highly recommended”
“Silvia took amazing care of my two pups and made me feel completely at ease during their stay. She was very communicative and sent the best updates and photos throughout the day. I only wish I lived closer so I could use her again! Highly recommend!”

About: I have extensive pet care experience that began at a young age. I started my own dog-walking business at 12 years old, providing regular walks and basic care for multiple dogs. Since the age of 14, I have had a dog in my family and have been responsible for daily care, including feeding, exercise, and companionship. I have also provided overnight dog-sitting in clients’ homes on one or two occasions, ensuring pets were cared for in a calm, familiar environment. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am currently a college student majoring in nursing with a flexible schedule, and I am hoping to fill some of my free time caring for and spending time with pet friends. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I do not have other employment commitments, which allows me to dedicate ample time and availability to pet care. For dog care, I typically take at least one walk each day on my own time, so bringing a dog along would be no issue. For in-home services, I ensure pets are let outside for bathroom breaks, receive playtime and exercise, and are given plenty of attention and affection. This may include a walk if requested by the owner. I am also able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, during which I can quietly work on homework while ensuring the pet feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for.
“Sarah is great with my dog Barry! She got him to go more than half a mile on walks, fed, and took him out for bathroom breaks for when I scheduled her to! I will for sure rebook her until she’s unavailable. Thanks again Sarah!”
“Emily was slightly outside our immediate area but I liked her profile and she was quick to respond. We’ve both been post surgery, then sick so our sweet boy had been cooped up for a couple days & was very excited to meet Emily. Once she learned he prefers park play over walks, she took him to one of his favorites and spent well over the allotted time both bookings. In turn, we had a very happy exercised Doodle who got to romp with pup pals.”
“Christin did an excellent job taking care of my baby! My dog was so happy to have Christin take her out on a walk, and tailored the walk to my dog’s need (very slow and full of sniffing and belly rubs). We will book with Christin again in the future! Thank you!”
“Craig by far exceeded my expectations. I was worreid sick about leaving my pup. This is my first time using Rover, and I literally had only two days notice to find someone. Craig accomodated my last minute request to meet, and instantly I felt at ease with him. I travel once a month for work, and this latest trip is the first time I felt at peace and was not stressed out the entire trip with worry and regret. My pup adores him. He sent FANTASTIC pictures oftern, showed up as scheduled and communicated often with me. I can't say enough great things about him. Its so comforting to know we found such a caring and great human to help out with our fur baby. We are absolutely going to be repeat customers from this point on. 10/10!!”
“Hatcher did a great job with my Alfie! He walked him around the neighborhood while I was at work, and he sent me several pictures of him, which really made my day! He was highly communicative throughout the whole process, which I really appreciated.”
About: It’s my goal to give you peace of mind while you are away. I provide frequent updates with photos, I give your pet(s) lots of love & attention, and strive to make you feel delighted by returning to a sparkling clean home. I am currently taking time off of work while studying online. This makes me available for frequent walks, potty breaks, and any other needs. I love going on long walks and being outside which makes pet sitting the perfect match for me at this time. I typically care for pets in my clients homes while they are away on vacations or weekend trips. I am flexible and due to my open schedule I am able to take care of pets with a wide range of needs.
“Rachel is so awesome! She is reliable, communicative, and best of all she loves my dog! I don’t have to worry at all going to work every day because I know my pup is in good hands :)”
“Alanah was able to help us with some last minute help that we needed for our pup. Very responsive and flexible. Our dog was very excited go on walks with Alanah! Highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there, fellow pet lovers! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by... I live in the beautiful North End of Boise and have been pet-sitting for years, caring for dogs and cats! Consider me your trusted ally who is dedicated to enriching your pet's daily experience while simplifying yours. I grew up with Saint Bernards, so handling large dogs is second nature to me. Our home was always full of animals—strays, rescues, and the occasional “foster fail” who became family. We made room for whoever needed it, and that mindset has stayed with me ever since. I’m comfortable with a full range of pet temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure. I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your pet is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out! Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, playtime, you name it. Also, please ask me anything if you can't find it in my profile! I'm happy to discuss extra services that you or your pet needs to feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away! I am recently retired early from the tech industry and now have time to give back to my community and neighbors! I'm available 7 days a week, and for overnights if needed and if the fit is right! Contact me anytime, and we can coordinate something that works, whether it's just hanging out with your pet or having a fun adventure! I've lived a lifetime with pets and rescued animals, so for me they are family. I treat all living things with respect, understanding, and care. I'm always thinking ahead of potential scenarios when planning any outings, making sure I'm prepared with extra leashes, treats, and/or a strong understanding of an area and what to expect.
“Stephanie is professional and a true animal lover. She is responsive to all of Rocky’s needs and appreciates his idiosyncrasies. Very responsive to communication and goes the extra mile.”

Thank you, Karen!”
“Moya is amazing. I cannot recommend her high enough. I have an older dog so am always very careful with where I place him and she immediately put my worries to ease. Great communication before, during, and after. Family environment which was perfect for my dog. It felt more like an extension of my own care for my dog than trying to fit him into a different environment. Thank you Moya!!”

She also sent us home with a cute paw print and Polaroid of our pup. So sweet. We will definitely use her support again.”
“Max was extremely well taken care of and probably didn’t want to leave Amanda’s place. He came home healthy and happy and we could have asked for anything else. We highly recommend leaving your pet with her!”
“Amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my sweet pup with Debbie and Ryan. I received regular updates and was blown away with their great treatment of my pup and their communication. Thank you!!!”
