“Our dog had a great time staying at Michelle and Robert’s place. They were reasonably priced, she was treated well and we had great communication with a pic daily. I can tell she was treated well because of Millie’s calm demeanor when we picked her up. She was happy there. Recommend!”
“Kayla and her family took excellent care of our Ellie. She updated us every day with photos and how Ellie was faring. Ellie was very content. We'll definitely use Kayla again in the future.”
“Tasha is wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs, and we’ll definitely use her again. She has a warm, caring presence, and her home feels just the same — with a great yard for the pups to play. We felt totally at ease leaving them with her. She kept us updated with pictures and even took them for a walk (with our okay first). Highly recommend!”
“Susan was incredibly sweet and accommodating with our pup! He was so well cared for, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She has a wonderful, secure yard, and her dogs were friendly and well behaved. I would absolutely recommend booking with Susan and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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!!”
“Our experience with Colby and David was excellent from start to finish. We had a not so good recent stay at a local boarding facility and were looking for something more comfortable for our dog. We loved getting updates and videos from Colby and David. Our dog came home happy and totally unphased by our time away.”
“I was very comfortable from the start leaving Riley! This was my first time using Rover.com and it couldn’t have been easier. Thank you again for taking care of our pup! 😊”
“Once again, another wonderful Rover week for Riley! We feel so confident that he's being well cared for when we go on vacation. Definite peace of mind. Thank you Aimee and Derek!”
“Nicole was thoughtful and considerate, understanding the needs and requirements of our senior dog. She sent useful updates to help us know how our family member was adapting to new and unfamiliar surroundings. Would be confident in booking her services again should needs arise.”
“Melissa was so patient with Cooper. He was so scared and sad that we “left” him and gave Melissa a hard time the first day. She won him over the 2nd day and I was so relieved. We were thinking of coming home early, but she was so patient and kind Cooper was fine the rest of the time letting us enjoy Thanksgiving and our granddaughter’s first birthday party on Saturday. Thank you so much Melissa for taking good care of Cooper and Sandy too.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jill! She communicated clearly and consistently, keeping us updated with photos and messages. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our dog, who was happy and well-loved while we were away. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Paula has watched my dog, Maia, for me a few times. She is incredibly reliable, flexible, responsible, and helpful. I never have to worry about Maia when I’m gone because I know Paula is taking great care of her. Paula very clearly loves animals and knows what she’s doing. She is also great with communicating, easy to reach at all times and very responsive. If I could give Paula a six star review I would do it!”
“Nalleli was amazing! She took very good care of Zara while we were away on a trip to Paris. She had great communication and let us come meet her dog Jack the week prior to leaving, just to make sure Zara was comfortable. Nalleli also sent pictures and video of Zara to us while we were gone. I would highly recommend her and will be taking Zara back when we need someone to watch her.”
“Allison and her husband were great sitters for our cat and dog!! We received regular photos throughout the week, our pup had outdoor access and someone there (i believe) 24/7, dog was able to remain well disciplined and stay with the family as if she was their own - our cat stayed as well and he did well, we received him back in one piece so I couldn't ask for too much more on that front.... Communication was great, availability super awesome, will board with Allison again, thanks!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my entire life. Since I was a baby, I’ve been around all sorts of animals. My love for animals has only gotten stronger since then. I like to learn all about them, and get better at caring for them. I do not have a job, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your furry companion! I am available almost throughout the entire day! I am able to house smaller animals in my home. Cats and small dogs will do just fine here, my dogs are friendly. If you are uncomfortable with having your small dog or cat near bigger dogs, then I have another place I can watch them at!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 21 years, and I’ve yet to meet one I didn’t want to be friends with. From energetic puppies who think socks are toys to sweet senior dogs who prefer naps over zoomies, I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I provide reliable, loving care that includes walks, feeding, playtime, cleanup, cuddles (if approved by your pup, of course!), and basic medications when needed. I know leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles—not just a quick check-in! I do run the occasional errand, but your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine always come first. I’ll make sure they get lots of love, exercise, and updates for you, because I know you’re probably missing them as much as they’re missing you. 🐾 Your pup can expect a fenced yard, a toy box that’s always open for business, plenty of belly rubs, fresh food and water, and two energetic dogs who are usually happy to welcome a new playmate. Safety comes first, fun is a close second, and your furry family member will be treated like one of my own.

“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly. My kitten bonded with her almost immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took excellent care of her, was attentive and loving, and clearly has a natural way with animals. I also really appreciated coming home to a clean and tidy house—she went above and beyond by cleaning up before leaving. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
“Kimberly was super communicative and responsive, she was also friendly and her mom was willing to jump in and help out with my medically complex kitty when needed for the first couple of visits while my kitties got comfy and familiar which was a huge win for us all I think! I’m so grateful to them both for being willing to help me out and watch my boys, I’ll absolutely be asking to book again :) Thank you Kimberly!”

They sent daily pictures and updates which really helped put our minds at ease and we knew our fur babies were in good hands! Highly recommend Nikki and Britney. They are top notch!”

“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 .

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. So even though I do work during the week, I will be able to walk, feed, and play with the dog anytime. My availability is during the week and weekend, any time. I live in a clean, quiet 2-bedroom townhome that provides a safe and comfortable environment for pets. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise through regular walks and outdoor breaks throughout the day. My community also has 2 dog parks built in, pups love it there! 🐾 Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I prioritize creating a calm, structured routine so they feel secure and at home. Walks are always done on leash, and I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My home is kept tidy and pet-safe, with a cozy space for rest and relaxation. I also follow all care instructions closely to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained exactly how you prefer. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can expect clear communication, frequent updates, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am a true dog person through and through. I have four of my own that I care for as they are like my children. I currently work full time but would like to hangout with some fluffy friends on the side whenever I can. I am able to come take dogs for a walk after work or have them stay with me during my work day since I work from home as long as they are friendly with other dogs. My dogs are all up to date of vaccines as well. The weekends I usually am pretty open for drop by visits and dog walks. I have a fenced in yard so if I did have a dog stay with me during the day I work from home and have a fenced back yard with a dog door. If visiting a dogs home I would respect and follow their wishes to help take care and maintain their dogs needs.

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: Hi, I'm Wendy — a Boise animal lover, raised in Idaho. For over a decade I founded and ran an award-winning business here in Boise. That taught me the thing that matters most in pet care: show up when you said you would, every single time, and treat someone's home and routine with respect. I share my home with my dog Burt Reynolds, a 7 year old Bloodhound/Poodle “Bloodle”. What you get with me: photo updates after every visit, so you're never wondering how your dog is doing. Fresh water, walks at your dog's pace with time to wander and their normal routine kept exactly as it is — same feeding times, same walk, same spot on the couch. I'm also a certified Reiki practitioner, which in practice just means I'm patient and calm with anxious dogs. Nervous rescues, senior dogs, and pups who take a while to warm up are genuinely welcome here. I drive a vintage Vanagon that dogs seem to love, and I'm happy to handle vet runs or grooming drop-offs if that helps your week. Every new client starts with a meet & greet — your dog interviews me, and you decide with zero pressure I recently sold my business and am so excited to dedicate my life to helping pet owners and pets feel safe and cared for. So my schedule is pretty open accept when I'm traveling. I can be available 24/7 - 7 days a week. Your routine is the plan. At our meet & greet I write down feeding amounts and times, medications, walk routes, house rules, and the quirks only you know — then I follow it exactly. If something comes up that isn't on the list, I text you before I improvise. Safety habits I don't skip: the leash goes on before the door opens, every single time. I check gates and door latches on my way out. I don't let a dog off-leash unless you've told me it's okay and we're somewhere secure. On hot Boise afternoons I test the pavement with my hand before we walk, shift walks to early morning or evening and always carry water. I keep your vet's info and the nearest emergency vet saved before the first visit, along with a backup contact of yours. Keys stay on me, never labeled with your address, never left under a mat. Your home gets treated like a home, not a job site. No guests, lights and blinds as I found them, trash and mail handled, and I leave it the way you left it. You get a photo and a short note after every visit, so you always know exactly how your dog's day went.

“Our dog had a great time staying at Michelle and Robert’s place. They were reasonably priced, she was treated well and we had great communication with a pic daily. I can tell she was treated well because of Millie’s calm demeanor when we picked her up. She was happy there. Recommend!”
“Kayla and her family took excellent care of our Ellie. She updated us every day with photos and how Ellie was faring. Ellie was very content. We'll definitely use Kayla again in the future.”
“Tasha is wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs, and we’ll definitely use her again. She has a warm, caring presence, and her home feels just the same — with a great yard for the pups to play. We felt totally at ease leaving them with her. She kept us updated with pictures and even took them for a walk (with our okay first). Highly recommend!”
“Susan was incredibly sweet and accommodating with our pup! He was so well cared for, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She has a wonderful, secure yard, and her dogs were friendly and well behaved. I would absolutely recommend booking with Susan and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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!!”
“Our experience with Colby and David was excellent from start to finish. We had a not so good recent stay at a local boarding facility and were looking for something more comfortable for our dog. We loved getting updates and videos from Colby and David. Our dog came home happy and totally unphased by our time away.”
“I was very comfortable from the start leaving Riley! This was my first time using Rover.com and it couldn’t have been easier. Thank you again for taking care of our pup! 😊”
“Once again, another wonderful Rover week for Riley! We feel so confident that he's being well cared for when we go on vacation. Definite peace of mind. Thank you Aimee and Derek!”
“Nicole was thoughtful and considerate, understanding the needs and requirements of our senior dog. She sent useful updates to help us know how our family member was adapting to new and unfamiliar surroundings. Would be confident in booking her services again should needs arise.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jill! She communicated clearly and consistently, keeping us updated with photos and messages. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our dog, who was happy and well-loved while we were away. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Paula has watched my dog, Maia, for me a few times. She is incredibly reliable, flexible, responsible, and helpful. I never have to worry about Maia when I’m gone because I know Paula is taking great care of her. Paula very clearly loves animals and knows what she’s doing. She is also great with communicating, easy to reach at all times and very responsive. If I could give Paula a six star review I would do it!”
“Allison and her husband were great sitters for our cat and dog!! We received regular photos throughout the week, our pup had outdoor access and someone there (i believe) 24/7, dog was able to remain well disciplined and stay with the family as if she was their own - our cat stayed as well and he did well, we received him back in one piece so I couldn't ask for too much more on that front.... Communication was great, availability super awesome, will board with Allison again, thanks!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 21 years, and I’ve yet to meet one I didn’t want to be friends with. From energetic puppies who think socks are toys to sweet senior dogs who prefer naps over zoomies, I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I provide reliable, loving care that includes walks, feeding, playtime, cleanup, cuddles (if approved by your pup, of course!), and basic medications when needed. I know leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so I’ll treat them like one of my own and keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles—not just a quick check-in! I do run the occasional errand, but your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine always come first. I’ll make sure they get lots of love, exercise, and updates for you, because I know you’re probably missing them as much as they’re missing you. 🐾 Your pup can expect a fenced yard, a toy box that’s always open for business, plenty of belly rubs, fresh food and water, and two energetic dogs who are usually happy to welcome a new playmate. Safety comes first, fun is a close second, and your furry family member will be treated like one of my own.
“Kimberly is awesome! Marco had a blast and she was very communicative with daily updates and images. I loved seeing pics of him with their other dog, made all of our hearts smile. She also sent us home with a cute paw print and Polaroid of our pup. So sweet. We will definitely use her support again.”
“Denise was absolutely wonderful. She communicated with us almost every day, and sent pictures. It really helped us feel like our pup was being well cared for I have absolutely no complaints at all and will definitely book with them again. Thank you, Denise and Casey.🐾❤️”
“Jan was so great to work with. She was easy to communicate with, and took good care of our Bella. Her two dogs are gorgeous and Bella got asking great with them both. Jan sent pictures and gave us occasional updates while we were away. Her property is lovely, with plenty of room for the dogs to play. We’d definitely recommend her and would leave Bella with her another time. Thanks so much!”
