Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gardena
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our Tasha provided for my two dogs, Miss Tucker and Dobby. From the start, communication was excellent, and I received daily photos and updates that showed how comfortable and happy they were. Miss Tucker and Dobby are full of energy, but Tasha was able to match their personalities and energy perfectly. They even took them on regular walks, which they absolutely love! It meant so much knowing they were getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Coming home to two calm, happy pups said everything. It’s never easy leaving your dogs, but I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Amanda is wonderful to work with. We felt so comfortable with our dog Rocco staying with her. Rocco is always loved and taken good care of. Thank you Amanda for keeping us updated and sending pictures.”
“Michael, Wendy and their sweet family were amazing with our Charlie! We joked that he might be disappointed to get picked up! It was wonderful to have such peace of mind knowing our puppers was in great hands.”
“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!!”
“Ashley and her family were fantastic with Eddie. I was very anxious about leaving him for so long and for the first time alone. But the second she opened the door for our Meet and Greet, Eddie walked right in and didn't park, and he always barks at new people. She sent pictures every day and gave us updates. It is comforting knowing that I have somewhere to take him whenever the need arises. I would highly recommend Ashley and Charles!!”
“If you are looking for the best dog sitter ever, you have found her! Jill is a caring, kind, dog loving person. Our dog stayed with her for almost two weeks and we were concerned that she wouldn't want to come home! Jill sent pictures of their adventures on walks, playtime at home, and even of their snuggle time. We would highly recommend Jill!”
“Michelle and Robert to great care of our dog! They were very responsive and provided a photo and updates while we were away. I would highly recommend them and would love to use them again in the future.”
“Thank you so much for watching Honey for us! I am so grateful for how smooth the process was, from setting up a meet and greet to getting Honey settled in. Lots of great check ins and communication so we could hear about Honey was doing and see pictures of her adventures! Had no worries while on our trip because we knew Honey was getting great snuggles, treats, and zoomies with her friends. Honey had such a great time playing with the pups and Jazzi took great care of her. I can tell she was in great hands and she was sad to say bye to her new friends in the end!”
“Our elderly dog had a great start with Susan. She was very well taken care of even though she developed a few new issues just days before we had to leave her, but we weren't worried because we knew Susan would take great care of her.”
“Great first experience with Lori. Sent lots of photos of my 2 dogs. Above average communication. Got my dogs plenty of exercise. I will be booking Lori next time I go out of town. Thanks again Lori!”
“Bob and Vicky are the best dog sitters. They take care of my dog with love. They share photos and videos every day which is so great. I really appreciate everything what they did for my dog, Coco.”
“Boarding my dog with Amber was a very good experience. Amber sent pictures and updates throughout his stay and I felt confident he was being cared for. I recommend Amber for you dog boarding needs.”
“Tigre spent 2 weeks with Eric and he has been amazing. He took great care of him (even a steak for NY eve :), sending pics and updates. We will leave Tigre again for sure. Thanks Eric!!!”
“Bobbi and her family definitely loved on our Mochi the way she’s loved by us! They treated her like their own family and made sure she really was well taken-cared of. We were felt assured that we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Mochi. She only takes one dog at a time which is what we looked for so our Mochi had all the attention. And she definitely had! Lol. She sent us pictures and videos of Mochi while we’re gone that made our hearts full. We’ll definitely book her again next time!”
“Emily was SO amazing, she will be my go to when I leave town. Fenced back yard, sends photos every day! Walked my pup and kept me up to date on absolutely everything! Best rover experience ever”
“My dog loves this family! She is engaged in lots of activities and is worn out by the end of the day. She loves all the attention! I never have to worry because I know she’s being taken care of and engaged in play more than she is at home.”

Cat caregivers near you - Gardena
About: I have had cats my entire life and I have a genuine love for them. I have two former barn cats at home who I spoil endlessly. Cat cuddles on the couch are always a happy end to my work day and I would love to add your kitties to my friends list!
“Britney and Nikki were excellent pet sitters! It was our first time with them, and we were very happy with the care and attention towards our Grace. They also left the house clean and neat. We would definitely use their services again.”
About: I’ve had many pups in my life but right now I do not have any pups living in my home. I’ve been enjoying spending time with all my rover friends! My home has a fenced backyard and a common area dog run. I work from home so I will be around to play, give treats and go on walks all day! Dogs are allowed on the furniture and beds here. Working from home means I will be hanging with the pups almost all day every day except for errands. Walks every couple hours and lots of snuggles on the couch! There are no children in the home. I have a fenced yard for running and playing. I have a large kennel/crate inside the house in case your pup needs it and have lots of toys and dog beds for lounging. Stop by for a meet and greet if you would like before booking! I typically only leave the house for an hour or so a day to use the gym down the road. The pups are free to roam my home as if it was their own while I am out. Doors stay locked and no one enters unless the pets are secured so no one darts out the door! Food stays off countertops so there are no human snacks available to be snuck. Poop is scooped after every go!
“Lexi is a very nice young woman. We reached out to her the day before we left after having a cancellation from another cat sitter. She could not have been more accommodating, staying at our house at the last minute, and we appreciate the care she provided to our baby, Cleo.”

Throughout college, I took care of my personal dog judge, after graduating I adopted two more, Maverick and Nala. My dogs are spoiled rotten to the point where I spoil them more than myself, you can expect your dogs to be given the same treatment maybe even a little better. Don’t tell my pups lol. Right now I currently work at gowen Field as a Blackhawk pilot, but my job gives me the flexibility to schedule around and make sure that I have the time and availability to take care of your fur babies. I’m fine waking up early in the mornings also going to bed late at night so I will always make time for them. We have a huge fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, also a shed in the backyard that can be converted into a private room for your Doggos if needed. Your dogs can expect lots of pets, walks, and playtime/socialization time!
“Bianca was a wonderful house sitter! She was in very good communication the entire week, sending updates and photos of my cats and asking questions when they arose. When I came home the place was sparkling clean, sheets washed and cats happy. I feel very confident in the level of care Bianca provides and look forward to having her here again!”

They are also very knowledgeable about dogs and you can have peace of mind knowing yours is in their hands. We definitely can't wait to come see you guys again in the future. Many thanks to you !”
“Never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with anyone. Stephanie and her pack provided the perfect combination of exercise, boundaries and love to my dog. Titus comes home tired, happy and with better manners than when he left. Stephanie also checks in and send plenty of pics and updates which I love. She’s flexible and super understanding of my crazy schedule. Huge relief to know we can count on Stephanie. I would highly recommend to anyone with a large dog.”
“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 ❤️”
“Amanda was so wonderful and I’m so grateful she could take Millie at the last minute! She entertained her and spoiled her! Her dogs are wonderful and tired out my Millie dog!”
“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!”
“What a wonderful experience all around! Wonderful people, wonderful home, wonderful other dogs to with whom to play! Roxy most certainly enjoyed her time with you! I’ve never seen her play with other days as much as she did with your goldens!”
About: I’m so glad you’re here! I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing a cozy and loving home where you can feel completely at ease while they’re in my care. With years of experience as a pet owner, I’ve cared for puppies & senior dogs ensuring each one gets the attention and care they need. Currently my senior cat, Ruger is my only pet who lives in our home and he absolutely loves dogs! I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routines and cues because I know how important it is for them to feel comfortable and understood. Whether it’s gentle guidance, extra patience and comfort, or lots of playtime and affection, I respect their boundaries adapt quickly to their needs. I strive to speak their language to make them feel secure and right at home.

“My family and I were visiting from out of state and wanted to go to the zoo so we needed last minute doggy daycare. DeHanna was so responsive when messaging. She was kind and understanding with my girls needs. When I picked my girl she showed no signs of stress and was super happy. I would book with her again! Highly recommend and thank you!”
“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.”
“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”
“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. 😊”

About: Reliable, Loving Dog Care—Like Family 🤍 Hi there! I’ve been around dogs my entire life—growing up in a family that always had them, I naturally became the go-to person for feeding, walking, bathing, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I’m very comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—not just “watching” them, but interacting, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also have a 6-year-old daughter who absolutely adores animals and wants to be a veterinarian someday. She loves helping give extra attention, playtime, and affection (always supervised, of course!), which means your pup will get lots of love and engagement. I take routines and instructions seriously and want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. 🐾🤍 I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog! They will be treated like part of our family, with lots of attention, playtime, and care you can feel confident about. 🥰 I currently am working from home, so my schedule is open as my job allows me to have a lot of flexibility.

You can expect clear communication, frequent updates, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have worked in board and train schools, foster homes and I have been a pet documentarian for several years as well. It is within my nature to connect with animals on their level which seems to enable me to work, even with the most timid of dogs. I am a writer, so naturally my work time flexes with each assignment. I have an active lifestyle. Dog walking in particular is one of my favorite pass-times to clear my mind between work. I live on a spacious lot in northwest Boise with an enclosed back yard and nearby trails that I frequently walk or hike. With the nature of my work, I am primarily home or nearby at all times.
“My pup had a great time. She had just been to the vet and gotten stitches and Daniel followed the doctor's orders so she didn't have any further injury. She was happy to go there.”

About: I have cared for pets since I was 6 years old, started with a tabby cat named Tinker after Tinker Bell. Since then I’ve cared for multiple cats of my own (including litters), and 2 of the sweetest dogs until seniors. I also loved and cared for the cutest peach-faced love bird, named, but of course - Peaches. I believe animals were created for us to be reminded to enjoy each moment we are given. I also believe that they deserve the best care and love through excellent attention to health, play and grooming. I have a set schedule that I will stick to for the most part, with flexibility upon request. Occasionally I will travel as well with advance notice. I am happy to come to your home to care for, feed, groom and play with your pet. I am also happy to take your pet for a drive (depending on the animal) to parks or different locations for exercise and play, or grooming.
“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!”

My personal residence is a modest free range bird farm that is fairly self-sufficient so only nominal time away from your pet's home would occur. Each stay is tailored to your pets' needs. Your home will be treated with respect and left in the same condition as when you left it.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our Tasha provided for my two dogs, Miss Tucker and Dobby. From the start, communication was excellent, and I received daily photos and updates that showed how comfortable and happy they were. Miss Tucker and Dobby are full of energy, but Tasha was able to match their personalities and energy perfectly. They even took them on regular walks, which they absolutely love! It meant so much knowing they were getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Coming home to two calm, happy pups said everything. It’s never easy leaving your dogs, but I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

“If you are looking for the best dog sitter ever, you have found her! Jill is a caring, kind, dog loving person. Our dog stayed with her for almost two weeks and we were concerned that she wouldn't want to come home! Jill sent pictures of their adventures on walks, playtime at home, and even of their snuggle time. We would highly recommend Jill!”

“Thank you so much for watching Honey for us! I am so grateful for how smooth the process was, from setting up a meet and greet to getting Honey settled in. Lots of great check ins and communication so we could hear about Honey was doing and see pictures of her adventures! Had no worries while on our trip because we knew Honey was getting great snuggles, treats, and zoomies with her friends. Honey had such a great time playing with the pups and Jazzi took great care of her. I can tell she was in great hands and she was sad to say bye to her new friends in the end!”
“Our elderly dog had a great start with Susan. She was very well taken care of even though she developed a few new issues just days before we had to leave her, but we weren't worried because we knew Susan would take great care of her.”
“Great first experience with Lori. Sent lots of photos of my 2 dogs. Above average communication. Got my dogs plenty of exercise. I will be booking Lori next time I go out of town. Thanks again Lori!”

“Bobbi and her family definitely loved on our Mochi the way she’s loved by us! They treated her like their own family and made sure she really was well taken-cared of. We were felt assured that we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Mochi. She only takes one dog at a time which is what we looked for so our Mochi had all the attention. And she definitely had! Lol. She sent us pictures and videos of Mochi while we’re gone that made our hearts full. We’ll definitely book her again next time!”

I really felt at ease knowing that my fur baby was so well taken care of. Lola had the best time, it was a vacation for her too. Thank you so much Bonnie! Lola can't wait to come back and spend time with you guys again :)”
