“Donovan was very punctual and communicative! I loved getting pictures throughout our stay. He was very respectful of our home. I would use him again :)”
“Mark is the best dog sitter ever! Book with him! We love being able to leave our pup at home where he is comfortable, knowing that he is having just as much fun hanging out with Mark as we are having on vacation. This is not our first time booking with Mark and is definitely not the last!”
“Liz was available on short notice and took great care of my dog Nova! I got lots of picture updates and had a happy dog when I returned home. I would definitely recommend her and ask her to watch Nova again in the future.”

“Dyllan did a great job while I was on vacation. Bowie was well taken care of and the house was all in order. I find Dyllan to be very responsible. I’ll have her watch Bowie again.”
“Xavier was great with our girls. He took them each for walks, played outside with them, and took them for trips to the dog park while we were away for the weekend. There were constant updates & great communication. Our girls loved their time with him.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kellan! He took care of our home and pets while we were out of the country for a week. The peace of mind that Kellan brought us while we were traveling was absolutely invaluable. We wouldn’t consider having anyone else watch over our lives while we’re gone. He sent us photos of our pets, took care of everything from getting the mail to making sure everyone was fed and cared for and left our home in impeccable condition. Thank you, Kellan!”
“We just worked with Phedre for the first time and she jumped right in with professionalism, patience and attention! We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely use her again!”
“Sara was great! She let us know that my dog's nose was getting crusty so we could tell her how to treat it while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent pictures so we knew the dogs were well taken care of, and had no surprises upon return. We will definitely look to book her in the future!”
“Very conscientious. Did a super job.”
“Renee is amazing!! She watched our pups while we were out of town and was great with communication and loving on them ? she’s such a nice person and is all about loving on pups. Highly recommend and would definitely have her house sit again!”
“My dog loves Michael! She saw him today and was so excited. Cried when he left! He took perfect care of Bonnie, my plants and my condo for 16 days. He is a great pet sitter!”
“We cannot recommend Shannon enough for you pet sitting needs! She was so absolutely wonderful and nurturing to our two pups! Right from the meet and greet appointment, Shannon was so friendly and has such a calming presence that we felt confident they would be in good hands. She provided regular updates and photos, asked excellent questions before the trip to make sure she really understood our dogs’ routines and personalities, which really showed an added level of care and one of our dogs is older and Shannon did an excellent job getting him to take his medicines. We came home to a very tidy house, well-cared for pups and filled with appreciation for Shannon and all the things she did to that really went the extra mile. This was our first experience with Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased! Can’t wait to book Shannon for our future petsitting needs! ❤️”
About: Hi there, fellow dog lover! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by... I live in the beautiful North End of Boise and have been pet sitting for years, caring for everything from high-energy pups to wise old senior dogs and plenty of cats, and occasionally horses, and small animals too! I grew up around Saint Bernards, so I’ve been wrangling big dogs since I could walk. Our house was kind of a magnet for animals in need....strays, rescues, you name it. We never turned them away and either kept them or helped find them forever homes with family and friends. That experience shaped how I care for animals today...patient, flexible, and with a lot of heart. I’m comfortable with pups of all ages and temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, you name it. Also, please ask me anything if you can't find it in my profile! I'm happy to discuss extra services that you or your pet needs to feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away! I'm a hiker, mountain biker, and love long walks! I am recently retired early from the tech industry and now have time to give back to my community and neighbors! I'm available 7 days a week, and for overnights if needed and if the fit is right! Contact me anytime, and we can coordinate something that works, whether it's just hanging out with your pet or having a fun adventure! I've lived a lifetime with pets and rescued animals, so for me they are family. I treat all living things with respect, understanding, and care. I'm always thinking ahead of potential scenarios when planning any outings, making sure I'm prepared with extra leashes, treats, and/or a strong understanding of an area and what to expect.
“Gabby was well cared for and the house was in great shape when I returned. I also appreciated the photos and updates. I would definitely book Kristi again!”
“Deb did a wonderful job dog/house sitting for us for a week. We have two dogs and she loves them like we do. They loved their walks and snuggle time and were very excited to see Deb when she arrived. This was our second time with Deb and we will definitely hire her again!”
“SUCH a great guy!! Shaun went above and beyond for us! He was super dependable, communicated better than imagined, and was on time, even early! He cared for 3 dogs, including a 9 week old puppy and visiting ausiedoodle. We will definitely use him again!”
“We have 5 animals, three cats and two dogs - with one being a baby!! Kristen went above and beyond. I felt very safe having her stay at our house and watch our babies. Can not recommend her enough!”
About: Having grown up with a variety of pets myself (growing up sort of on a farm in the country), I have over 20 years of dedication pet care experience. I have also had 10 years of experience pet sitting for cats/dogs/chickens/ you name it! From playful puppies to senior cats, I ensure all pets in my care feel loved and safe. Whether I am administering detailed medical regiments or following specialized diets, I take care to deliver the best service to owners and families while they are away from their four-legged family members. I am playful, fun, gentle, and nurturing. My approach combines plenty of walks, cuddles, and play time! I work full time but am finished with my work day on Wednesdays and Fridays by 3pm, and Tuesdays by 4pm. I am available weekends and love being active with pets who love to walk/run or chill at home with pets with lower energy. I make sure to keep to a pet’s routine when you are away as it can be stressful for them to not have their primary person there! I adapt to their schedule. I follow their lead: if they are feeling anxious or aloof I never force myself because I want to ensure they feel safe and cared for.

She is someone I have complete faith in to care for, exercise and protect my sweet (and squirrelly) Golden Retriever. She directs his misbehavior well, is nurturing and responsible. I have every confidence that Christy would take this same care and integrity into all of her pet sitting jobs, that’s just who she is. You’d be blessed if you could have her there for your pet!:)”
West Bench pet parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor is great! So nice to be away and know that Taylor is responsible and reliable and that my pups are well cared for. Will happily use again!
Holly was great with my Coco. She followed food instructions and my picky and spicy girl loved her. Holly got her to come out right away which made me feel better about leaving.
Natasha did a great job watching our dog at our house and keeping him calm and relaxed. I would recommend her to anyone.
Niki worked through a difficult situation, and went above and beyond in many different ways to make the house even better than she found it when she got there. Fantastic person who I'd highly recommend.
Xavier does a great job with our 3 dogs. He was extremely flexible when our dog got sick before his visit. We received frequent communication on how and what our girls were doing in his care. It’s a relief to know our dogs are happy with him when we are away!
Our first time using an in home sitter and couldn’t be happier 😊 Ryan was excellent with the dogs and left the house spotless!! He communicated frequently, sent lots of photos, just an excellent young man. Thank You Ryan 🙏🙏
Phedre is the best! She is our go-to sitter. She constantly goes above and beyond to care for our very particular and needy senior dog. We are so appreciative of the extra effort and genuine care that she provides to our animals. We trust her implicitly to take great care of our dogs and home.
I can see why Adri has so many repeat clients!! Our pup was taken care of to the fullest. Our pup is 15 years old and kind of needy sometimes. I always worry she’s too much for others to take care of with having past medical issues like a bad back, arthritis in both front legs and she’s starting to go deaf. I never once was worried about a thing cause we got multiple updates with so many cute pictures and stories!! Adri was timely, took notes and went above and beyond!! And a bonus, Adri cleaned up after everything so much so I didn’t have to do a thing to the house. Helped me tremendously since we got home so late ❤️ I didn’t expect it and I truly appreciated all the effort and help Adri provided. 10 out of 10- highly, highly, highly recommend!! Thank you, Adri!! You were wonderful!!
Always love to have Brooke and Dylan stay with our dog. They follow directions to a T and make sure to communicate the entire time. So happy we found them!
Aubrey was so great with our boys during the 4th of July. Our neighbors unexpectedly had their own firework show so you can imagine how loud it was. She stayed and cuddled with them which we are so thankful for! She was very responsive and sent picture updates. It’s hard leaving your fur babies with someone you don’t know but Aubrey made it easy!
Another great pet sitting experience with Kayla! She is super good with our admittedly, crazy and energetic dog Rosie. She follows our requests to the tee. We feel so comfortable when Kayla is pet sitting for us. Thank you, Kayla!
Michael & Silvia did a wonderful job sitting for our two foster dogs!!! We were a little nervous to leave them for 2 weeks because we've had some not-so-great experiences with Rover sitters in the past (i.e. not following care instructions, leaving the dogs for long periods, coming home to stressed dogs, pee on the rugs, etc.) but we didn't have any issues at all this time. Silvia was responsive, provided consistent updates, photos, daily walks, followed care instructions, and the pups were happy and relaxed when returned home 🤗❤️ Thanks so much Silvia and Michael!
Sara was friendly and responsive. She is good at following instructions and was able to look after my cat and give him his medications twice a day. I came home to a happy, healthy cat and a tidy home. Thank you!
Clare took good care of our cats and our house for four nights. Everything was left as we found it. We plan to hire her again.
During our 3-week trip, Nicole took fantastic care of our 2 cats. She handled taking one cat to the veterinarian, picking up and giving new medications with conscientiousness and accuracy. And she took great care of all of our household details. We highly recommend Nicole!
Very communicative, good with our animals and rolled with whatever came up while we were out of town. Highly recommend!
Andy was a great house sitter for us while we were gone on a long weekend. He took great care of our house and our dog. We received photos and updates during our time away. I would rebook Andrew in the future!
Donovan was very punctual and communicative! I loved getting pictures throughout our stay. He was very respectful of our home. I would use him again :)
