“Emily was wonderful! She provided photos, updates, and was very flexible with pickup/drop off times. It’s clear Emily loves animals and Beanie seemed to feel comfortable with her right away. Will definitely be reaching out in the future!”
“My dog had such a good time. I was so relieved to have found Ashley because I hate leaving him. She sent a ton of pictures and updates while I was away.”
“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!”
“Amanda was a perfect sitter for my hunting dog Wrigley. Given all the exercise she needed, Wrigley was allowed to socialize/play with Amanda’s two golden retrievers, was fed well, and was thoughtfully protected from the summer heat. This included early morning walks before the heat of the day. Amanda provided photos, videos and feedback to keep me apprised of Wrigley’s overall health, allowing me to more fully enjoy my time away. Wrigley quickly became part of Amanda’s family, and I am confident Wrigley received the best care possible. I highly recommend Amanda for your dog sitting needs.”
“Jazzi took such good care of Finn while I was out of town! She was able to accommodate a very last minute booking and exceeded all my hopes for a dog sitter. She updated me with pictures and I could tell he was loving his time with her and the other pups!”
“Elizabeth and Alexander are a perfect family to care for your dog. This is a very nice family. They care about people. They care about animals. They care about themselves. They bring forth the highest of integrity and care. The communication is excellent and straightforward. I left my dog for the first time for a full day of care with Elizabeth And her children and my dog was so happy he didn’t want to leave! I’m happy to meet this family and hope that there is a long-standing relationship between us. Thank you for your kindness and care.”
“Deana took the best care of Keyser while my husband and I were away for a long weekend! She took him on multiple walks and hikes and sent tons of great pictures and videos. He got along great with her dog Koda and I think they are BFFs now! We were able to have a stress free trip without any worries about Keyser and will 100% book with her again.”
“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!”
“In our greet and meet interview our dog felt comfortable right away with the other dogs. We felt a relief as this is the first time we leave our dog with someone else that is not family or friend. We could see that is a caring family and he would be treated as part of it. During his stay, we got pictures showing us how great he was doing. That was something our family really liked.”
“Eric was a great sitter for my dog! He was very prompt in communication and flexible when I needed a sitter last minute. Made sure I got a picture of my dog even though I was only gone one night. Great open space in the living area and yard for any dog. Highly recommend”
“Jess is absolutely fantastic. This was our first time using Rover and Jess set the bar high. She is kind, accommodating, and courteous. She gave daily updates on our little buddy and I know that he was extremely pampered and well taken care of. Thanks so much again for everything Jess, and for getting us in last minute. You are the best!”
“My dog loved staying with Maddy and her family! She accepted a somewhat last minute request and was so flexible and was great at communicating! I’ll definitely reach out to her first next time I need someone to watch my dog!”
“Shannon was fantastic with our pug Steve! Her communication was excellent and incredibly quick, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. She gave us peace of mind that Steve was in caring hands. Would recommend Shannon to any other dog parents.”
“Kelsey was fantastic with our two pups -- one who can be an escape artist and the other who is just a goofball. Her place has a great yard for dogs, she was communicative throughout the stay.”
“We never worry about Mimi when she is with Benita and family. Mimi is never stressed about going and is always happy and healthy when we pick her up. Thank you, Benita!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time here and no doubt yours will too. They will treat your pup like their own and what more could you want! Sent lots of pictures and updates so we knew our pup was in good hands the whole week. Thank you Debbie and Ryan!”
“Dolly loves visiting with Katie, Ben, and their kids. She gets so much love and attention from this wonderful family. We always know Dolly will be well cared for with them.”

“Nikki and Britney were absolutely amazing. From the amazing photos to the wonderful cleanup they did for us prior to our returning home, we are happy to know we have a trustworthy couple to look after our fur babies when we are away. 10/10 would recommend! :)”
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!
“Brooke did a wonderful job watching our kitty. He came home very happy. We received pictures the entire week, so we felt very assured that he was in good hands. I will definitely go back to Brooke again to watch our boy!”
“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.”
“This was my first time with Taylor and it was a great experience. She is very responsive and timely. My pet had very specific needs and she was able to meet all his needs and even came to meet Otis before the scheduled visits. She left detailed notes of how the visits went and left pictures of my pet. I would definitely recommend Taylor!”
“Bianca is great. Very conscientious, mature, thoughtful, and communicative. Our cat Zeke liked her immediately, and they clearly bonded while we were away. She kept in touch, and left the house nicely cared for. Will definitely use her again if the occasion arises!”

“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.”

“Mary was absolutely awesome! She helped out last minute with a meet and greet and watched my little Finn during my first week back at school. This was Finn’s first time away from me, and she made him so comfortable that he was excited to come back every time. She was incredibly responsive, went above and beyond, and made everything so easy. Finn always came back calm, happy, and ready to cozy up. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“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've been around animals my whole life and have been fostering with the humane society for many years. I currently have an golden of my own and we love to explore new areas in the foothills, around the greenbelt, or even the beautiful sights up bogus. I usually pet sit for family friends, but would love to meet some new floofs! I'm currently working part time, and have a pretty open schedule for this summer! Every week is different, but I'm available almost every weekday and most weekends. My backyard is secure and big dog approved with plenty of room to run around. There is a toy basket inside, but somehow the whole yard gets transformed into a dog toy wonderland. As for any homes that I may visit, I will ensure everything is how I found it and will give your pet all the attention they need without overstepping their boundaries.
About: I’m a calm, intuitive caregiver with years of experience welcoming dogs of all ages, sizes, and abilities into my home. From tiny senior chihuahuas to blind or deaf pups, energetic puppies, and giant breeds, I’ve supported them all with patience, structure, and genuine love. My gentle giant of a Labrador, Deyo, is a natural companion who helps other dogs feel safe, relaxed, and included. As a Reiki Master, I also offer optional daily Reiki sessions for dogs who benefit from extra emotional support, grounding, or relaxation. I’m skilled in senior care, reading dog body language, supporting anxious or sensitive pups, and creating a peaceful, nurturing environment where every dog feels truly at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home as an intuitive energy healer with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to offer frequent walks, plenty of supervision, and a calm, consistent environment for boarding. Dogs are with me throughout the day getting fresh air, attention, and companionship, evenings are relaxed and cozy, perfect for winding down. Your pup is never overlooked and always cared for like family. In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention and supervision. My home has a fenced‑in backyard where pups get casual walks, outdoor time, and lots of built‑in play with Deyo, my gentle 97‑lb Lab who loves making new friends. Inside, dogs get cozy rest time, a predictable routine, and plenty of snuggles from the whole family. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, or just relax, they’re cared for like one of our own.
About: Hi, I’m Megan! 🐾 For the past 7+ years I have devoted my life to caring for animals! Currently working as a shelter clinic manager, I have plenty of experience with both medical and behavioral sides of animal care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities while they’re in my care. I also have extra help at home! My sister lacy, who is a stay-at-home pet lover with pet-sitting experience, helps provide additional attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. This means your pet gets plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and love—even when life gets busy. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go on walks, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, medications (including oral meds and all injection route's if needed), seniors, and those who may need a little extra TLC. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet behind, so I will provide as much communication as possible so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I treat every pet like family and strive to make their stay feel like a fun, safe “vacation” while you’re away. Pricing information: For Boise specifically, most sitters seem to fall into these ranges: * Budget/new sitter: $25–$35/night * Average experienced sitter: $40–$55/night * Very experienced/medical care or constant supervision: $60–$90+/night Since you work in vet med and have shelter/medical experience, if you were pet sitting at your house, you could likely charge on the higher end—especially if you’re comfortable with meds, seniors, post-op care, injections, etc. A vet-tech level sitter in Boise could reasonably start around $50–$75/night per dog. Availability & Schedule 🐾 I work Sunday–Wednesday, but your pet will still receive plenty of love, attention, and care! I have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday fully off, allowing for lots of one-on-one time, walks, playtime, and cuddles.

Between the two of us, your pet will have consistent care, attention, potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. Our Home Environment 🐾 We strive to provide a fun, loving, and safe home-away-from-home experience for every pet in our care! Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run, sniff, explore, and play safely. We also have three smaller, friendly dogs who love making new friends (while always respecting each pet’s comfort level and personality). Whether your pup enjoys playing, cuddling, or relaxing, we make sure they feel comfortable and included. There are plenty of cozy dog beds, toys, treats, and attention to go around! We treat every pet like family and do our best to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Safety, supervision, love, and lots of tail wags are always our priority.

About: Hello there, my name is Jordan, and I'm here for all your fur baby needs! With over 5 years of experience in house and dog sitting, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of various temperaments, from well-behaved companions to those requiring a bit more attention. My love for dogs began at a young age, assisting my grandmother in training them to reach their full potential. I am a reliable and flexible caregiver, offering both overnight stays and daily visits to ensure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, and there's nothing better than sharing that experience with a furry friend. With the recent loss of my own dog, I truly miss the companionship of animals and would love to offer my services to keep your pets happy and comfortable in your absence. I’m happy to accommodate your schedule and provide the personalized care your pets need. I currently work from home, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. This arrangement enables me to provide consistent and attentive care for your pet, whether it involves regular visits, playtime, or overnight stays.

About: Hi! I am 25 years old. I am currently working sat-mon and am available Tuesday-Friday all day to take care of your fur baby! I have a small inside yorkie dog and have taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was a little kid. I absolutely love animals. I treat them as tho they are my own kids. I can do whatever is needed for your pets and I am very flexible in what you need done! I can take them for walks or do house sitting. 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!
About: I used to own a farm where I watched dogs for friends, neighbors and family. My 3 boys would help and it was a pure joy. We now have a large house and fenced yard that allows the dogs to walk and play. It is a passion of mine to treat dogs as family, with kindness and love. They are a gift for us that warm our hearts and bring joy into our lives. We understand how important dogs are to you and the love they give. With me your dogs will get exercise and will be treated with love and care. It will be a blessing to have an opportunity to protect and watch over your dogs providing you assurance and security knowing they will be cared for properly. I am self employed and work from home. Your dog will never be left alone and will receive attention all days when staying with us. I have a fenced in yard and access from the house through garage to the outside yard. Plenty of room to run and enjoy the outside.
About: I love dogs and cats. I grew up with both. I will treat your pet the way I would want mine to be treated with care, adoration and respect. I know that when you are away it can lead to increased stress for your animal and I will foster an environment that feels safe by maintaining their schedule and routines, enforcing boundaries and giving them the attention or space they need. I love a good snuggle, pet and long walk! I have experience with productive walk techniques to ensure your dog will get the most out of their walk. They'll feel better physically and mentally and have a greater sense of accomplishment and self-worth. I am happy to spend time with you to teach you the tools and techniques I use. Productive walks not only work wonders for your dog's mental health but can do the same for your enjoyment and bonding on a walk and can save your shoulders and knees from a dog who pulls. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: I have dog sat for family friends for a few years, I always have a great time and love being around cats and dogs, I always hear great feedback and have gained skills from working with different types of dogs (hyper, timid, untrained etc.) I have had a few dogs personally and enjoyed training them and being active with them, overall being around animals is something I enjoy I mostly work mornings and I am typically off by 9-11am, during the week I have all day free after then and love to stay busy! When caring for animals I always have a few small rules for myself to ensure they stay safe, I never leave food in their reach, I always make sure to feed/water/take them out as much is needed, I try to learn the animals as much as I can to know how they react in situations.
About: I have a wealth of experience and a genuine love for animals! My background in house and pet sitting spans more than 20 years, combined with 9 years of veterinary technician expertise, along with obedience and confirmation training, which makes me a valuable resource for home/pet owners. Highlighting my international experience and specialization in various types of animals, including exotic ones like elephants and large cats, sets me apart in the field. I would be happy to offer a chat. Meow, Barks, and Tail Waggggs 🐾 💖 Cheers Dusty xx PS: I am happy to offer references I am available full-time for pet care.

About: There hasn’t been a time in my life where I haven’t been around a dog. I’ve been with the dogs throughout their walks of life. From puppies to seniors. I have also cared for and loved several other animals. I have experience in caring for rabbits, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and birds. I also know CPR for dogs. My schedule is open so I have most days completely free! I bring my work with me so I’ll be able to stay with your pets all day. I take pets on exciting walks, and play with them if they are in the mood. I also have a knowledge of trails and other areas for walking for dogs that need deeper exercise. I also do light training, commands like sit/stay I have taught many times to dogs and also exercised with my own. Some dogs require more mental stimulation than others, so it’s best to keep them busy.
About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for dogs has never felt like “work” to me I genuinely love it. I’ve helped watch and care for dogs for family and friends many times over the years, and I’m the type of person who pays close attention to their energy, comfort, and routines. I know every dog is different and I’m very patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or affectionate dogs alike. I am very intuitive with their needs and and some people even call me a “dog whisperer”, because of how in tune I am. I love spending quality time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing outside, relaxing together, or simply making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also understand how important updates and communication are when someone trusts you with their pet, so I always aim to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I currently work as an online life coach, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care, walks, check-ins, overnight stays, and quality time with your dog. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals so I’m able to give them lots of attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My schedule is very open and flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I always want pets to feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they can feel as relaxed and at home as possible. I’m very patient and attentive, and I make sure pets have plenty of love, supervision, playtime, water, potty breaks, and a peaceful environment. I also understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide updates, photos, and dependable care so owners can feel fully at ease while they’re away.🐶❤️ I’m also a very clean and hygienic person and I always treat people’s homes with respect and care. I genuinely like keeping spaces tidy, and I aim to leave your home just as clean or even cleaner than I found it.

“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!”
“Amanda was a perfect sitter for my hunting dog Wrigley. Given all the exercise she needed, Wrigley was allowed to socialize/play with Amanda’s two golden retrievers, was fed well, and was thoughtfully protected from the summer heat. This included early morning walks before the heat of the day. Amanda provided photos, videos and feedback to keep me apprised of Wrigley’s overall health, allowing me to more fully enjoy my time away. Wrigley quickly became part of Amanda’s family, and I am confident Wrigley received the best care possible. I highly recommend Amanda for your dog sitting needs.”
“Jazzi took such good care of Finn while I was out of town! She was able to accommodate a very last minute booking and exceeded all my hopes for a dog sitter. She updated me with pictures and I could tell he was loving his time with her and the other pups!”
“Elizabeth and Alexander are a perfect family to care for your dog. This is a very nice family. They care about people. They care about animals. They care about themselves. They bring forth the highest of integrity and care. The communication is excellent and straightforward. I left my dog for the first time for a full day of care with Elizabeth And her children and my dog was so happy he didn’t want to leave! I’m happy to meet this family and hope that there is a long-standing relationship between us. Thank you for your kindness and care.”
“Deana took the best care of Keyser while my husband and I were away for a long weekend! She took him on multiple walks and hikes and sent tons of great pictures and videos. He got along great with her dog Koda and I think they are BFFs now! We were able to have a stress free trip without any worries about Keyser and will 100% book with her again.”
“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!”
“In our greet and meet interview our dog felt comfortable right away with the other dogs. We felt a relief as this is the first time we leave our dog with someone else that is not family or friend. We could see that is a caring family and he would be treated as part of it. During his stay, we got pictures showing us how great he was doing. That was something our family really liked.”
“Eric was a great sitter for my dog! He was very prompt in communication and flexible when I needed a sitter last minute. Made sure I got a picture of my dog even though I was only gone one night. Great open space in the living area and yard for any dog. Highly recommend”
“Jess is absolutely fantastic. This was our first time using Rover and Jess set the bar high. She is kind, accommodating, and courteous. She gave daily updates on our little buddy and I know that he was extremely pampered and well taken care of. Thanks so much again for everything Jess, and for getting us in last minute. You are the best!”
“Shannon was fantastic with our pug Steve! Her communication was excellent and incredibly quick, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. She gave us peace of mind that Steve was in caring hands. Would recommend Shannon to any other dog parents.”
“We never worry about Mimi when she is with Benita and family. Mimi is never stressed about going and is always happy and healthy when we pick her up. Thank you, Benita!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time here and no doubt yours will too. They will treat your pup like their own and what more could you want! Sent lots of pictures and updates so we knew our pup was in good hands the whole week. Thank you Debbie and Ryan!”
“Dolly loves visiting with Katie, Ben, and their kids. She gets so much love and attention from this wonderful family. We always know Dolly will be well cared for with them.”
“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.”
“Meghan was absolutely wonderful! It was our first time using Rover and she put every worry at ease. She sent photos and updates and was extremely flexible and quick to respond. We’ll definitely be coming to her for future dog sitting needs!”
About: I grew up with animals my entire life (dogs, cats, horses), and I finally got my own dog this year, a loving and friendly golden retriever. I still love to petsit for others. I have done pet sitting through rover for 6+ years and I have experience with horses through my childhood. I cleaned a horse barn every weekend during highschool and learned how to handle them. I am a Geologist with the Forest Service in Idaho City, where I also live. I work full time from 8-4:30pm in the office. The summer months I have very little capacity for dogsitting because of field work and I am involved with working wildfires. With pets in my home I am happy to give them free reign of the place! Please let me know if your dog has a habit of chewing items or counter surfing. When staying at a client's home, I am attentive to the pets, can provide walks and play-time, and I make sure to leave the house cleaner than I find it. Because I have grown up with pets and played an active part in taking care of them, I am in-tune to animals behavior.
