“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.”
“Lori and her son are amazing!!! You can tell they have so much love for dogs and it shows. My border collie came back happy, well loved on and tired! And Lori sends photos and updates while you are gone. Will definitely be sending Cassie back!”
“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 🙂”
“Ashley is always fantastic with Lucy! She is great at sending me updates and Lucy loves her stays at there. When we arrived at her house, Lucy ran right to the front door excited to see Ashley!”
“It was wonderful to know my dog Bodhi was incorporated into Moya's family throughout his visit. And I truly appreciated the photos sent throughout his stay. Thank you, Moya & Family!”
“Oakley always has the best time with Elizabeth & Alexander. They send plenty of check ups with pictures. Oakley is so excited to go back soon.”
“Sylvia is truly a “dog whisperer”. I was so worried about leaving our dog (who thinks he’s human) and she was incredible. I received daily updates and she literally transformed this dog from a protective alpha to a charming alpha. I adore her! She was made for this.”
“Tina has a great place to board our dog. In addition to a large space to run, there are chickens, turkeys, squirrels, and other critters to keep our dog's attention. Of course there is fencing to protect most of these distractions, but squirrels just seem to live in the trees.”
“Buster-Matisse loves coming to stay with Amber and play with Jasper! We love it too! We’ve had our standard poodle stay overnight here on two occasions. Each time we were met with super friendly Jasper who put our Buster right at ease. Not only does Amber respond with quickly over Rover, she’s really easy to work with and takes great care of our fur baby. A true professional! We highly recommend her! And Jasper too! 🐾”
“Amanda is amazing! My two pups love staying at her house. Amanda adores her own dogs and treats them like family, and when my girls were with her they got the same attention, love, and care that she gives her own. I felt VERY comfortable leaving my dogs there for the first time. I knew they were in great hands and were living their best life while I was away. Amanda took them on lots of walks and sent many cute pictures and updates, too. She was also very willing and happy to do things the way our pups are used to at home. Thank you, Amanda! Poppy and Sunny will definitely be staying here again.”
“Tyler has been great with our dog! This was our second time using Tyler and our dog was so excited to see him again. Tyler was willing to work with us when our travel plans got messed up. We are so grateful for his patience.”
“Perfect! Truly liked this man, his attitude toward dogs, his home, his quick responses to questions, the pictures and comments he sent during our dogs stay, everything!! Will stick with Eric wherever he’s available.”
“Sitter ended up really sick the day she was supposed to watch Zuzu. Instead of cancelling, she asked if a family member could help watch my dog. I was fine with this, and her family member stepped in like a champ. I’m so thankful she found a solution and didn’t leave us in a lurch.”
“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!!!”
“Thank you! Teaira and her family always take such great care of our pup! We travel a lot and having peace of mind that our baby is taken care of helps so much!”

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.
“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!”

“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!”
“Michael and Wendy are great! They are experienced with dogs, have a giant yard, and a very welcoming environment. They have a dog who loves to play. We had a great experience with them.”
“Had to find a last minute sitter for Blue during a roadtrip stop and Elise came through for us right away. LIFE SAVER. Blue can be a lot of energy and sometimes I feel guilty leaving him with someone because of that - but Elise was so welcoming. Blue practically jumped into her arms and she just laughed. Made me feel better immediately (and so welcomed). He played with some other dogs, she kept me updated throughout his time there, and I picked him up smiling, wagging his little tail, and tired out (which, YAY). Would book her again and again if I lived in the area!!”
“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”
“Aura had an AMAZING time with Sarah and her family. Aura came home happy and tired which for a mini Aussie is quite an accomplishment! I hope to have Aura play with Sarah again.”
“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.”
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 I am semi-retired and work remotely from my home in the late evenings. I am able to give my full attention to your dogs wants and needs. Any time day or night. Pick up and drop off if needed. Any weather. I am reliable, mature, and very attentive to your pets. They will have a day full of activity, treats, and love. I treat your fur babies as if they were mine. Days full of walks and playtime, meals and hydration. I can stick to your schedule for meals, medications, and sleep. I am able to stop by, pick up and drop off, or board them overnight. Stop by with poop pick up services also. I know the anguish it is when having to leave your dogs in someone else care. I can assure you they will be safe and supervised 24/7. 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.
About: I'll give your best furry friend a relaxing and fun staycation so you can enjoy a worry-free vacation! I work from home and can provide round-the-clock companionship to your dog. My house is steps from the foothills and my yard is fenced. I have a teenage son who loves animals and a very spoiled lab named Mack who enjoys playing with other dogs. I also have two koi in our backyard pond named Ramen and Jack. I am a lifelong pet owner and I'm comfortable with providing medicine, including pills, topicals or subcutaneous injections, to animals. I'll also send you daily text updates and photos, so you can follow your pet's fun from afar. I work from home and love to play with my dog, Mack, and our furry boarders throughout the day. I like to incorporate outdoor time into our play, taking walks or playing ball in the yard. Mack is a very big dog, but he plays well with dogs of all sizes. I have a fenced yard and a sweet labrador to keep your dog company. I also have a big indoor playroom that provides enough space for your pet to chase a ball and burn some energy even in the worst weather. My dog Mack is crate trained and he likes to take naps in his crate when he needs a break from his new friends. If your dog also uses a crate, I have plenty of room to set it up, but being crate-trained is not a requirement for boarding with me. I try to keep dogs off the furniture, but I spend plenty of time on the floor playing with and snuggling Mack and our furry visitors.
“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: I’ve dog-sat since I was 7 for neighbors and grandparents, and I’ve had dogs my whole life. I truly love animals, especially dogs, with my whole heart. I’ve fostered 9‑week‑old golden retriever puppies until they were adopted. When I moved to Boise for college, one of the hardest parts was not having my dog with me every day, caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life so I am excited to spend time with your dog! I just graduated from Boise State, so my schedule is very open right now! I have plenty of time to check in on dogs, take them for walks, and spend quality time with them. I live in an apartment with a small balcony and direct access to the greenbelt, which makes on-leash walks very easy! When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow each dog's normal routine, whether that is walks, playtime, feeding, and, of course plenty of affection! I truly love dogs, so I will go the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy!
“Haylie has been great for doggy daycare for my dog, Nugget! Communicates and always sends photo updates. Definitely recommend and will continue to use her for watching my dog!”
“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.
“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.”
“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’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. Your dog’s happiness, safety and well-being are always my top priorities! **As a full-time sitter, Rover keeps a portion of each booking, so your tips and reviews mean the world — they go 100% to me and help keep my space cozy and well-maintained for your pets!! 🐾 💛 I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get constant attention, care and companionship throughout the day. I am either on the computer in my office or in the barbershop (in the garage) which I cut hair 2-3 days a week for half of the day. Whether your dog loves to play, nap or just be near someone, they’ll never feel lonely while in my care. Since I’m home all day, I can easily keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime—all while ensuring they feel safe and loved. My flexible routine allows me to tailor care to their needs! I also have a 4 year old daughter who absolutely loves on all dogs, big or small and provides plenty of attention for them. With a calm and loving home environment and the ability to give one on one attention, your pup will feel like part of the family while you’re away! I have a backyard for your dog to roam around in that is fenced in and secure. I can also easily crate them if needed in a large cozy crate. I have a cozy home that they can nestle right into!
“Eva & Louis were just the best!!! We felt so bad asking last minute and they graciously accommodated us with Dot 💗🐾 They communicated so great with us! They were welcoming and we could just tell Dottie was in such wonderful care!! We would definitely highly recommend them!!!”
“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!!”

“Cassandra was great, she was available to walk my dog on the 4th of July holiday. She’s very caring and attentive, she made sure my dog was comfortable and had everything she needed after her walk :)”
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: 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 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 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. As a retired individual with no outside obligations, I can devote my full attention to your fur babies—providing them with plenty of love, care, and companionship. Your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. You set their routine, and I will follow it closely to ensure their daily needs, happiness, and well-being are fully met. 🐾

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.
“Heidi was amazing! She made every accommodation to our schedule, and we felt our pets were well loved and safe and secure! This was our first experience with Rover and we will definitely use it again! We had such a smooth and easy experience.”
“kimmie took great care of our senior dog Magnus. We just loved her and her daughter watching over him while we were away. Her home is nice and clean and she is home most of the day which is good hat we wanted for our pup. We will be back!”
