“June is very friendly and my dog warmed up to her immediately. She sent me pictures of my dog playing with another dog, and cute pictures of him playing ball. My dog was happy there, he ate and slept well. We will be taking our dog there again in a few weeks!!”
“We had the BEST experience with Camile and Aaron. She sent so many pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved and really put me at ease. Milo is normally very shy, but from the very beginning he was completely comfortable with her and her family. He usually doesn’t eat much when he’s being watched by someone else, but he ate all of his food twice a day the entire time, which says everything about how happy and comfortable he was. I could tell he was truly cared for and loved. I was honestly worried he wouldn’t want to come home with me after!! Such an amazing experience and I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: I worked at Yellowstone Bear World for 5 years with all kinds of animals! I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks, and more! I have always been surrounded with pets and currently we have 4 cats and had 2 older dogs that have since passed!! I have taken care of my siblings animals and am comfortable with all sizes and kinds of pets! I grew up in Rexburg, and am currently a college student at BYUI! So I will have plenty of time to give your pets lots of love and care in between and after classes! Since I’ve grown up with animals, I have been tasked with taking care of our neighbors pets and my older siblings pets! Dog-walks, playing, and so much more! I’ll keep them company and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and having fun!
“Megan stepped in to care for our two dogs with very little notice when we had an emergency. She took wonderful care of them and responded in a very timely manner when we contacted her during the week. She sent some cute pictures too!!”
“Shaedyn was amazing! Charlie was happy, healthy, fed, and entertained. She sent great photos of their adventures and we will absolutely be contacting her in the future for more stays. Thanks a lot!”
“What a great stay for our 7 1/2 month old puppy! We were visiting our new granddaughter and needed a place for her to stay - when we picked her up she was happy and tired! A great combo - will be back the next time we are in Idaho for sure!”
“Our experience with Merilee was fantastic. I would recommend her to anyone I know that needs a dog-sitter. Loved the daily pictures of her and I can tell that my dog was having so much fun. It took the worry completely away from us while we were gone.”
“Samantha has watched our dogs twice now and has walked them a few times. We always check her first if we go anywhere because the dogs love her, and she loves them back. My little dog is a bit quirky, but with love and positivity, she will do whatever you want her to do. She thrives on positive attention. Samantha knows how to deal with her and always has positive things to say about her, which makes me feel good about leaving her there. I can’t recommend this sitter enough. Don’t hesitate! Book her!”
“Kara and her husband were very nice and made our pups really welcome and happy. They took them for walks in the snow and they loved it. We look forward to seeing them again in the future.”
“Sev loves staying with Brad and "family". He comes home very chill and stress free, which hasn't always been the case....until we met Brad. These people are exceptional care givers for your dog! Thank you!!”
“Charmaine did a wonderful job boarding my 2 dogs over a long weekend. She kept us updated with pictures every day and let us know how they were doing. My dogs had a wonderful time staying with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook Charmaine in the future!”
“I just can’t say enough wonderful things about Debora & Randy! They were truly a godsend for us. They gave our puppy so much love and attention while we were gone for Christmas break, and were so patient with her as well. When unforeseen medical problems happened on our trip, they were so accommodating and understanding as we readjusted her pickup date. We got communication and photos from them daily, which was so comforting for our kids who were missing their pup. Pearl received such excellent care and attention, we were sure she wouldn’t want to come home with us 😂 You will not find a kinder, more caring, more compassionate sitter on this app. They were everything we needed, and so much more. Thank you, Debora & Randy, for everything!💕”
“Jacquelynn & Graden were so wonderful! They are super responsive, caring and supportive. They shared daily updates and pics/videos with me which made me feel reassured. I was so happy to see Ellie enjoying her play time outside and it was funny to see a picture of her in the middle of a big yawn in the morning. Will definitely rebook in the future! Thank you so much J&G!”
“Summer C. did a fantastic job watching our Malamute, Ellie, while we were away for the weekend. She was reliable, caring, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing Ellie was in good hands. We really appreciated the attention and care she gave Ellie, and we would absolutely recommend Summer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!”
“Jaylinntook great care of my dog. I had to go out of town for two weeks and was very worried he wouldn't do well, but she took such great care of him. And he loved the other dogs and time he got to spend with everyone.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Walker home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Walker.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Walker sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ID ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
