“Ashley was fantastic. She showed up with a C notebook, took notes, asked all the right questions. She stayed in communication with us about the cats and left the most adorable drawing of the kitties for us when we got home. 10 out of 10!”
About: I have tended to dogs and cats for many years. Spending time with a new four legged friend is an honor and a privilege. Looking forward to treating your pet or fur baby like my own. I am available week nights to do walk pets/fur babies. I am also available on Saturdays to tend to the needs of your furry family members. I will establish trust with animals in your homes. I will check on their food and water as needed. I will also provide adequate exercise through walks and play time.
“Marisa is a true gem! She took amazing care of our Rottweiler as if he was her own! We asked she come 3 times a day and she didn’t skip a beat! I recommend her 110%!!! Thank you, Marisa!”
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: 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.
“Audry was great checking in on my two cats. They are scared of most people but they clearly started to warm up to her. She was great with communication and clearly wanted to do what's best for them.”

About: Hi there! I’m a nurse and lifelong animal lover who naturally gravitates toward caring for others (including pets). I’m calm, attentive, and active. So whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet, so I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I usually work three 12-hour shifts as a nurse, which gives me several full days off during the week to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m home full time, active, and happy to structure my day around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality time with pets. My schedule is consistent, and I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can give each pet my full attention. Pets in my care are treated like family and always supervised and prioritized. I like to stick to their routine and keep them in a comfortable environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,382 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wilder. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wilder choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Wilder with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
