“What a great place to have our dogs stay. Wendy was very nice and accommodating. Our boys were wiped out when they got home, showing they enjoyed their stay. Thank you again Wendy and we will see you again !”

“Ashley was so incredibly communicative sending thoughtful updates and pictures every day of our trip. She even sent home the sweetest take home doggy bag for our pup. We will undoubtedly be coming back to her for future services. So thankful for how well she took care of our old lady.”


“Mary was absolutely wonderful to book with. She got us in last minute, was very responsive, and gave lots of updates with pictures. She even met us closer for drop off, as she was in the area.Our dogs were in good hands. 10/10 recommend!”

“Tammy was beyond wonderful!! She sent us pics of our puppy every day and it made us feel so much better! We knew our puppy was being well cared for and loved and doing lots of fun things!!!”

“I was absolutely delighted by the care that my dog, Loki, received during his time staying with Leaha at her home. It was very obvious that Loki was treated as a member of her family. While I was on vacation, Leaha sent me text messages and pictures of Loki looking happy and healthy. I had previously used boarding kennels for my dogs when I had to travel. Now that I have met Leaha, I hope to never have to use a kennel again! Thank you Leaha. You helped to make my vacation more enjoyable knowing that Loki was well cared for.”

“Heidi Was great! Drop off was easy. Aspen (Dog) grew up on a small farm, so it was like visiting his old home. She sent photos of him to me and that warmed my heart. I would 100% recommend Heidi to anyone!”

“Sherin was awesome! She just had a baby and still watched my dog for me for 11 days! Great communication and pictures too! I felt like Winter was in good hands and I never worried about her while I was away.”

“Using Rebecca for in-home dog boarding was an incredible decision. This was our first experience and it truly feels like home away from home. Lots of socialization and grass (chickens and goats…haha) to run and explore! She asked detailed questions and we had a meet and greet beforehand so we were all very comfortable before the drop off. Rebecca also sent videos and pics while I was away…loved it! Mya(our dog)had a great time. I definitely recommend her and Todd. It was a great experience. Will definitely use again…many times!”

“Erika was great communicating with us before booking and answering questions. I’m sure my puppy had a great time with her and her dogs. Erika sent pictures while my puppy was at her house and contacted me with questions. We will definitely use her services again when visiting Post Falls, ID.”

“Is there a way to give 6 stars?! Shaunett was simply amazing. My pup was so loved. He played and snuggled and had the best time. She cared for him like he was her own. I would recommend Shaunett to anyone looking for someone to love on their dog/dogs while they are away. Couldn’t have been happier with my experience.”

“Our dog Sam had an amazing experience staying with Isabelle and Fred. It was short notice, and they made it an amazing experience throughout. They took such good care of him, even made him Christmas dog treats! Highly recommend”

“Carolyn was everything I hoped for and more! She was so flexible and has amazing communication. She sent pictures and made sure I knew Endo was happy as can be. I last minute had to have her keep Endo for an extra night due to travel complications and she didn’t even hesitate with this last minute change. I can’t even explain how much I appreciate finding someone who treats my pet like her own. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to keep in touch for future travel!”
“Kara was absolutely AMAZING! Could not recommend her enough. She sent multiple updates with wonderful pictures, and communicated very very well. Both of our dogs felt so loved and cared for. She is so sweet and has a genuine heart 💗 thank you again Kara! Tater and Maggie miss you already.”

“I contacted LiDan and she accepted my short notice booking for a two night stay for our 6 month old English Cream Golden Retriever. I was impressed when we were sent great photos and updates, as well as fast text replies. My dog May-C was relaxed, well-fed, and happy when we returned to pick her up. I can tell that she didn’t feel lonely without us because she had companions by her side the whole time. Finally, I would book LiDan again and recommend her to my friends and family who have beloved pets that need good care.”


About: I have been around animals since I was a baby, I have 19 years of pet experience. We have a small farm. I’ve also helped my mom on rover for the past few months. I am currently helping my mother with Rover so my schedule is pretty flexible. When you book with either of us you will receive 3 adults giving your babies the upmost care and respect. I have a fenced 3 acre yard and 3 friendly dogs to keep your babies company. I have crates and means of separation if that is necessary. We treat our company like family, they are allowed on furniture and able to sleep with us unless told otherwise.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two wonderful dogs, Bitzer and Bueller—they bring so much joy to our lives! I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, snuggling, and making sure they are incredibly well taken care of. Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience caring for friends' dogs, cats, and birds. Why Choose Me: Highly Experienced: Lifelong pet owner who understands animal behavior and needs. Reliable & Punctual: I show up exactly when promised for walks and visits. Gentle & Loving: Your pet gets the exact same high standard of care, attention, and safety that Bitzer and Bueller get. I would love the opportunity to give your pets a fun, safe, and happy experience while you are away! I am very flexible with my time throughout the weekdays and weekends. I can walk your pets, play with them, check in on them, and dog sit them at my home if they are good with other dogs and children. I will send you updates and photos during each visit so that you will have peace of mind that they are being well taken care of and feel very loved! I have a gated backyard, two very friendly dogs that are good around all people, including children, and would be willing to watch them in my home if they’re good with dogs and kids. I could also crate them if you needed me to as well. I will follow your direction on what is best for your dog(s).
About: I have hands-on experience with high-energy dogs and know how to keep them happy, exercised, and mentally engaged. I’m patient and attentive, with a gentle approach that works well for both playful pups and older dogs who need a little extra care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a veteran Marine and someone who has competitively trained dogs since 2020, I approach pet care with structure, consistency, and discipline. I make sure pets are cared for with structure, safety, and attention to detail. I follow consistent feeding schedules, provide exercise and play tailored to each pet’s needs, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. With my background in competitive dog training, I also incorporate positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to ensure pets are not only well cared for but also engaged and happy.

“I am very happy with my experience! My dog stayed 2 nights with Heather, where I received many pictures and updates on how things were going. All was positive and seemed like a great time! Would book again!”

“Suzi took really good care of Maggie. We really appreciated her care of our dog just as she was getting over a stomach bug and was on a special diet. We saw how active they were as Suzi sent us pics from the daily hikes - rain (mostly) or shine! We could see how happy our pup was on those hikes.. Our Maggie seemed very happy being with a welcoming family who gave her attention, exercise and cuddles. Maggie was comfortable with their family dog as well. In fact, she was not overly anxious to leave! Suzi has a nice property for a dog to explore and hike. Thank you so much for treating our pup as family! We will definitely re-book with you.”

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.
100% of sitters in Athol can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Athol 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 Athol.
<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 Athol 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.
