Highly-rated overnight sitters - Guffey
“I highly recommend Colleen and her family to care for your beloved pets. Our two dachshunds spent over a week in the loving care of Colleen’s family while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dogs were treated like royalty. They stayed right in the house with the family, cuddled on the couch, sat on their laps, and even got to sleep with Colleen’s wonderful son. It was clear they were loved and cared for as if they were part of the family. Throughout our vacation, Colleen sent us photos and updates of our dogs, which gave us such peace of mind. When we picked them up, they were happy, healthy, relaxed, and completely at home with Colleen and her family. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as if they were their own, I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and will absolutely trust her with our dachshunds again.”
“I had such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of my dog, Jesse, and spoiled him with so much love that my heart felt completely at ease while I was away. She sent pictures every day and kept me updated, which meant the world to me. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter!”
“I have borders my dogs a lot over the last 5 years as I have traveled for work and Chris is hands down the best! Every time I come pick my dogs up they have the biggest smiles and have had such a great time! As long as I am in the Nampa/Merdian area I will only border or do daycare with Chris!”
“Excellent care and courteous communication! Pictures and video updates were comforting to receive and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Karen for your pet boarding needs and would definitely reach out to her again for our Ladybelle. Thanks again Karen!”
“Colby & David are amazing! This was the first time we haven’t been able to bring our fur baby on a trip and we couldn’t have asked for a better family for her. In every video they sent us she was so happy! We are so lucky to have found them ❤️”
“Fantastic care today! Zia had a fun day and she was happy from the moment we arrived! We received lots of pics and even videos of backyard play. We will be back!”
“Ashley and Charles and their family took really good care of Kora. They sent pictures and kept us informed of how she was doing everyday. I think Kora felt comfortable with them and that is truly what makes it easier to leave your for baby for a bit. Thank you so very much for the tender loving care!”
“Katelyn was super sweet and so was her family. They kept our Golden and took great care of her, lovin on her like she was one of the family. She also took our pup on last minute and was so communicative and easy to work with. I Will definitely book again with Katelyn!”
“As always Tina was such a great sitter. I was able to enjoy my trip and have the peace of mind that my pup was in safe hands. Thank you so much Tina for taking great care of my Archie. 🙌😊 I highly recommend her to any dog owner. She’s super attentive and also sends updates with pictures which is so greatly appreciated. She’s awesome!”
“Melissa was a wonderful sitter for our dog. She did a great job of keeping us informed on what he was doing on a daily basis. There was a minor medical issue that popped up while he was in her care and she did a great job taking care of him thru that. She also bathed him and trimmed his nails. We will be having her watch him again for sure.”
“Gunther had a wonderful week at Brieanna’s! We received pictures everyday and they showed what wonderful care he was receiving. He was able to play with other dogs, which he loves, be loved on by people, his absolute favorite, and take all of his naps. Brieanna will definitely be our 1st choice for Gunther whenever we need a sitter!”
“Vanessa is the best! Our boys love going to her house and again had the best time ever! They were loved on, played with, snuggled and so happy to be there! We are so grateful we found her and she will be out go to forever! Thank you, Vanessa, for loving on our boys, for all of the pictures and for being flexible on our pick up! We appreciate you so much!”
“We are so glad we chose John and Jessica to watch our pup! He seemed to have loved his time getting to play with their golden retriever. We got updates and pictures each day we were gone. We will definitely book with them in the future!”
“Jillian is wonderful and took great care of our very small doodle. We look forward to booking with Jillian the next time we're out of town. Highly recommended.”
“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 🙂”
“Gabrielle was kind and accommodating. My dogs have such different personalities and she was willing to play with one and sit and cuddle the other. They seemed super content and the updates put us at ease. Thank you!”
“She and her family took great care of our Daisy! They have a nice home with a fenced yard for playtime. Daisy clearly had the time of her life, and I got at least one picture a day of her antics! Definitely will book again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Allison is an absolute gem 10/10, would trust her with Shiloh (and my peace of mind) again in a heartbeat! I was nervous leaving my sweet, timid girl Shiloh for the first time in years because of her separation anxiety, but Allison made the entire experience stress-free and actually joyful. From the moment we met, her calm energy and genuine love for dogs put both Shiloh and me at ease. She asked all the right questions, really listened to Shiloh’s quirks, and followed her routine to the letter. While I was away, Allison sent the most wonderful updates and a photo of Shiloh snuggling on the couch with her. You could tell Shiloh felt completely safe and loved. Shiloh clearly adores Allison and her sweet family and I can’t thank her enough for giving me total peace of mind on my trip. If you have a shy or anxious pup, Allison is the caregiver you’ve been looking for. She’s patient, attentive, communicative, and truly exceptional. We’re already looking forward to booking her again! Thank you, Allison, for loving Shiloh like your own! 🐾❤️”

“First time meeting Beverly was amazing. Our cat Bella is very shy. Bella came out while we were talking and was looking at Bev, taking it all in. It was such a comfort to have Bev here with Bella.

About: Cats have been an important part of my life since childhood. I adopted my first cat from a shelter when I was seven years old, and she was by my side until she was 14. After she developed diabetes, I administered her insulin injections twice daily and carefully monitored her health. That consistent care helped save her life and gave us three additional years together that were never guaranteed. Today, I am the proud cat mom of two ESA cats: a young Persian and a 13-year-old senior cat - Mochi Mo and Boo Kitty. They bring tremendous joy and comfort to my life. Caring for cats of different ages and personalities has taught me to recognize their individual boundaries, routines, body language, and needs. I am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing, providing enrichment, caring for shy or cautious cats, supporting senior cats, and administering injectable medication when properly instructed. I will care for your cats as lovingly and attentively as I care for my own.

About: I have enjoyed and cared for dogs all my life and spent many years participating in Agility training and trials with my Blue Heeler/GS Pointer. I have raised puppies and tended to them throughout their long lives. I am a sucker for a white-faced senior dog! I met my husband over 30 years ago when he was a veterinarian and I was a veterinary technician. If your pet needs medication I am happy administer it for you. I am retired and I have many free days and nights for pet sitting and dog walking. I am flexible and happy to accommodate your schedule. Your dog is welcome in our home and on our furniture, and will be treated as one of our own. I have solid fencing on 3 sides of my backyard, with a metal fence on one side. (4 feet high with 3 3/4 inches between the vertical rails.) I will supervise your dog in the yard or take them outside on a long lead, as needed. I appreciate clear instructions on how you would like your pet cared for, and I will follow them respectfully. Does your dog have a favorite toy? Are there specific training guides you would like reinforced? Do they prefer to play alone or with other dogs? Just let me know what they need and I will be happy to accommodate them whether at your home or mine.
About: I have taken care of many types of dogs for most of my life. I absolutely love animals, and would love to help you with your pup when you aren’t available to care for them. We have a large home on a half acre. It is fully and securely fenced. Your doggie can hang out with me and my 16 year old daughter will also help care for them. I have a secure fully fenced yard with ample space for your pup to roam and play safely. I can also come to your home with the help of my 16 year old daughter to care for your pets.
About: We have two high energy dogs that require regular exercise so I understand how hard it is to find a sitter who can meet that need. While your best friend is with us they can expect to get an off leash, 3-5 mile adventure every other day. I am trained and comfortable with an e collar but if your dog does not have good recall, no worries, I always carry a long line. Our home is best suited for medium to large dogs. I am a stay at home mom with 2 large dogs of my own. My dogs need regular off leash walks so you can expect your dog to get out plenty while with us. I have a large, fenced in yard. If I have to leave the house without the dogs I have spare kennels and a furbo dog camera to keep an eye on everyone.
About: We're a family affair: my sister Rachel, my son, and I all help with bookings. Beyond a basic love for dogs we are also experienced with furry fosters. We have housed all types, breeds, ages, abilities of dogs/puppies for days, weeks or months at a time depending on their individual needs. Our dogs are part of the family and welcome others into the pack well. Between the three of us, someone is almost always home and available to provide individual play time, lap time, TLC, and whatever else is needed. Dogs are excellent judges of character and would know right away when meeting us that we're gentle souls with a deep love for pups of all kinds. I'm currently a full-time student and available for overnights, weekend stays, or evening check-ins. My sister works a flexible schedule and is home most days. We can come to you or your fur babies can come to us, whatever makes them most comfortable. Our dogs are part of the family and welcome to be close to us on the couch or in bed. They are friendly and welcoming to new furry friends. We have also crate trained previous pets and understand that method as well. We are flexible and will respect your wishes.

I have lots of space and ways to provide opportunities for your pup to socialize with mine or separate them for some downtime as needed with 3 levels, gates and crates.

About: For more than 40 years, I’ve loved and cared for dogs and cats of my own. After my last Boxer passed away in 2022, I found a new way to share that love by caring for—and spoiling—the pets of others. I’ve provided excellent pet- and housesitting services on TrustedHousesitters in the Boise area for the past year, earning 20 five-star reviews. Many of my sits have been with repeat hosts, which reflects the trust and dependable care I provide. My experience includes dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and even beetles. Before moving to Boise, I spent 14 years fostering dogs and providing pet-sitting services in the Atlanta area. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to follow instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, patience, playtime, and affection. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked as a project manager in the technology industry. As I transition into a more personally fulfilling career, I’m excited to devote more time to animals and give your pets the same thoughtful, reliable care I would want for my own. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and thoroughly spoiled while you’re away. I currently work full-time as a pet sitter, so caring for pets is my primary focus.

I take safety precautions during every visit and activity so your pet can feel secure and relaxed in your absence. You can count on me to provide dependable, thoughtful care while treating your home and your pet with the same respect I would expect for my own.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, goats, and more. At one point we even had 7 dogs at once! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and over the years family, friends, neighbors, and now Rover clients have trusted me with their pets. I’ve been boarding and caring for dogs through Rover for over 3 years and truly love what I do. I’ve also spent time learning from professional dog trainers, which helped teach me proper handling, walking, and understanding different dog temperaments and behaviors. I’m a stay-at-home mom to my two boys, who are now a little older and very used to being around dogs. Because I’m home most of the day, your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles throughout their stay. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers, and our home is very dog-friendly and relaxed. We have a fully fenced yard, two friendly dogs, and lots of space for your pup to feel comfortable and at home. I can also crate your dog if requested or follow any specific routines you have for them. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here because we believe pets are family too! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always do my best to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos during their stay. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two young boys who are now older and very comfortable around dogs. Because I’m home most of the day, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine.

About: Hi! I’m 26, a Boise State graduate and former Honors College student, and I’m currently working toward my master’s degree. I also work at St. Luke’s three days a week, which gives me a really flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience with pets that have very different personalities and needs. I grew up with a cat, lived with a very reactive Pit Bull in college, and now have a 6-month-old Lab puppy of my own. Because of that, I’m comfortable with everything from puppy energy and basic training to dogs that need a little more patience, structure, and awareness of their surroundings. Having my own puppy has definitely reminded me how much work goes into raising a young dog! I’m very used to potty schedules, frequent walks, reinforcing good habits, keeping puppies entertained, and making sure they don’t get into absolutely everything they can find. I’m extremely responsible, organized, and dependable, but I’m also the kind of person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for by someone who will pay attention to their routine, personality, safety, and all the little details you give me. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a reactive dog who needs some extra patience, or a cat who prefers to do their own thing, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and treat them like one of my own. I work 3 days a week and very rarely on weekends so I am very flexible and have a really easy ability to move my schedule around to come see your pet. I am very good at following directions and take pet safety very seriously. I am sure I accommodate your dog whether that means you have a large backyard or you live in a small apartment and the dog is crate trained.
About: Hi I’m Madison! I love animals and have dog sat on multiple occasions for elderly and young dogs. I’d love to take care of your animals in exchange for the happiness I’ll get from walking and interacting with them! I have pretty open availability at the moment. I can pop in a couple times during the week or stay longer if needed. I do have animals at home so extended days will need to be talked about. I would love to take your dog to a dog park or a nearby trail to get some extra energy out during my stay if wanted!
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and have more than 27 years of hands-on pet-care experience. My parents allowed me to adopt my first cat from a shelter when I was seven, and she remained my beloved companion until she was 14. When she developed diabetes, I learned to administer her insulin injections twice daily. With consistent care, she lived three additional happy years beyond what we initially thought possible. I have always felt a special connection with animals of every kind, including both cats and dogs. Animals naturally bring me a sense of peace, and caring for them is something I find genuinely meaningful. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I am dependable, observant, safety-conscious, and calm during unexpected situations. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, caring for senior pets, and administering injectable medication when properly instructed. I will treat your pets with the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule while building my personal art business, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I am available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I can also accommodate many morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and holiday requests. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so being dependable and arriving at the agreed-upon time will always be a priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and established routine will always come first. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and never force interaction with a nervous or shy animal. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and former firefighter/EMT, I am highly responsible, attentive to detail, and calm under pressure. I also respect the trust involved in entering someone’s home and will leave it clean and secure. I will provide dependable communication, photos, and visit updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of personal attention.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for years. As well as house sat for a friend who owns a farm, caring for her numerous animals. Hi! I currently work at 9 AM to 5 PM job and can make it home around 12 PM to 1 PM for a lunch break to take the dog to the bathroom and/or a walk. I am typically have more availability on Fridays, as I work remotely periodically. This would make it so the pet will go 4 hours between potty breaks Monday-Thursday if a potty break midday is needed. I have full availability on the weekends. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with plenty of space for a dog to run around safely. We board dogs often and have puppy proofed it for safety.

I am just unable to watch them in my own house due to landlord rules! I am able to do whatever is needed for your dog. I have a lot of free time in the day to check on your dog. I currently only work three days out of the week so have plenty of time to watch your pets! I like to take dogs on walks or take them to the park if they are allowed. In other peoples homes I will play with them in their backyard!

“I highly recommend Colleen and her family to care for your beloved pets. Our two dachshunds spent over a week in the loving care of Colleen’s family while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dogs were treated like royalty. They stayed right in the house with the family, cuddled on the couch, sat on their laps, and even got to sleep with Colleen’s wonderful son. It was clear they were loved and cared for as if they were part of the family. Throughout our vacation, Colleen sent us photos and updates of our dogs, which gave us such peace of mind. When we picked them up, they were happy, healthy, relaxed, and completely at home with Colleen and her family. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as if they were their own, I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and will absolutely trust her with our dachshunds again.”
“I had such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of my dog, Jesse, and spoiled him with so much love that my heart felt completely at ease while I was away. She sent pictures every day and kept me updated, which meant the world to me. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter!”
“I have borders my dogs a lot over the last 5 years as I have traveled for work and Chris is hands down the best! Every time I come pick my dogs up they have the biggest smiles and have had such a great time! As long as I am in the Nampa/Merdian area I will only border or do daycare with Chris!”
“Excellent care and courteous communication! Pictures and video updates were comforting to receive and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Karen for your pet boarding needs and would definitely reach out to her again for our Ladybelle. Thanks again Karen!”
“Colby & David are amazing! This was the first time we haven’t been able to bring our fur baby on a trip and we couldn’t have asked for a better family for her. In every video they sent us she was so happy! We are so lucky to have found them ❤️”
“Katelyn was super sweet and so was her family. They kept our Golden and took great care of her, lovin on her like she was one of the family. She also took our pup on last minute and was so communicative and easy to work with. I Will definitely book again with Katelyn!”
“Gunther had a wonderful week at Brieanna’s! We received pictures everyday and they showed what wonderful care he was receiving. He was able to play with other dogs, which he loves, be loved on by people, his absolute favorite, and take all of his naps. Brieanna will definitely be our 1st choice for Gunther whenever we need a sitter!”
“Vanessa is the best! Our boys love going to her house and again had the best time ever! They were loved on, played with, snuggled and so happy to be there! We are so grateful we found her and she will be out go to forever! Thank you, Vanessa, for loving on our boys, for all of the pictures and for being flexible on our pick up! We appreciate you so much!”

“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 🙂”
“Gabrielle was kind and accommodating. My dogs have such different personalities and she was willing to play with one and sit and cuddle the other. They seemed super content and the updates put us at ease. Thank you!”
“She and her family took great care of our Daisy! They have a nice home with a fenced yard for playtime. Daisy clearly had the time of her life, and I got at least one picture a day of her antics! Definitely will book again!”
“My boy loves going to visit Beth! It’s his vacation with friends. I’m so comfortable knowing that Beth keeps his routine consistent and showers him in love. My dog is pretty needy and it’s apparent that Beth understands him. He gets lots of exercise and attention and Beth makes it easy to focus on my trip without worrying about my boy. Thank you so much!”
“Thanks for taking such great care of Buster! Lerin was super easy to communicate with from initial contact, meet and greet, stay and pickup. She made it very easy. Her dogs were a a great match for Buster. He was in a great mood when we got him. Would highly recommend!”
“Kimber and her family were wonderful sitters for our two pups. The home was perfect with a fenced in backyard and our pups received so much love and care while we were gone for over a week. They will be the first people we reach out to if our dogs need to be watched again. Thanks so much for taking great care of Kiko and Mishka.”
“Elise was so wonderful with our 3 year old Irish doodle and our 5 month old toy schnauzer puppy! It was our first time boarding them with anyone who isn’t family, and we weren’t sure how they’d do. I’m sure we were more concerned than we needed to be, but she was so great communicating with us beforehand and reassuring us. She was so sweet with them when they met her, and we weren’t surprised at all that they warmed up to her so quickly. We could tell that she really cares, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone for over a week. When we went to pick our pups up at the end of our trip, they were healthy and happy, and we were so appreciative of all her efforts. We would definitely rebook with Elise and also recommend her to friends in search of a pet sitter. Thanks, Elise!”
“Tyler was an excellent dog sitter, he took care of our elderly dog like he was his own! Very responsive and sent us photos throughout the stay. Thank you Tyler!”
“Heather is AMAZING! She took care of our dog for over a week and sent multiple videos and pictures of her. We could tell that our dog was loved and taken care of while we were away! We will 1000% use her again in the future!”
