“Christy is fantastic with our two dogs. They connected within minutes and all went smoothly. Christy was proactive in providing photos and updates. She is very trustworthy. We will definitely try to book her again in the future. Thank you!”
“Eva did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our husky and calico. She was very friendly, polite, and cordial in person at our meet and greet and was available via phone/text during our absence for progress updates. We returned to our pets in good nature and our home just like we left it. I would not hesitate to book Eva again for house sitting/pet care! Thank you very much.”
About: For over 5 years, I have lived in a home with five large dogs, gaining extensive experience in caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Growing up on a farm where my parents rescued various animals, I developed a deep understanding of animal care. I am skilled in feeding routines, administering medications, giving baths, trimming nails, cleaning ears, and brushing coats. I treat every pet I care for as a member of my own family, recognizing their unique personalities and ensuring their individual needs are fully met. Whatever your pet requires, I provide it with confidence, compassion, and dedication. I care for your pets as if they were part of my own family. I understand that each pet has unique personalities and specific needs, and I genuinely appreciate those differences. Whatever your pet requires, I am confident in my ability to provide attentive, personalized care. This is my only job currently making me more available then most people! I know how important your pets are, I will treat every dog in my care with kindness, patience, and respect. While staying in my home, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. I will follow their usual feeding and care routine, closely monitor their well-being, and communicate regularly with their owner so they can feel confident their dog is happy and well cared for.
About: I've grown up with dogs in the home and currently have a short haired border collie and a mini golden doodle. I'm an avid walker so I'll be sure to take your pup on longs walks that enhance their health and mood! I also have experience caring for small animals like hamsters and gerbils. While I've never had a cat, I get along with them quite well and have cared for them many times for freinds and family that go out of town. I have a very flexible schedule, with Sunday being the only day I prefer to not work, but am willing to on occasion. My only other schedule restriction is the evenings around dinner time, so 4-6pm ish, I try to do dinner with my partner. I'm able to work early mornings or late evenings, whatever suits you and your pups needs! I'll do my best to follow whatever routines your dog is used to, and if I'm caring for them in your home I'll do so while maintaining respect for your space and privacy. If there are any accidents or messes, I'll be sure to clean them up and notify you if there's any unusual pup behavior or property damage.
“Kate was quick to respond to my inquiry and attentive to the details of taking care of Jack. I appreciated hearing from her right before we left to confirm her stay and the follow up note after we'd returned.”

“Liz is really sweet and easy to work with. She checked in and sent photos while I was gone, and I could tell my pets were happy and well cared for when I came home. I will definitely rebook with her!”
About: Pets have always been an important part of my life.I have experience with lots of different pets including dogs,cats and chickens! I've had cats to care for most of my life and as of 6 years ago a big,fluffy great Pyrenees-Anatolian mix,who requires a lot of brushing and a lot of love! :) As of recently,my schedule leaves me with open afternoons and nights as i am in school until 2 or 3 most days! Though I may not have the most experience in pet care,I am organized and willing to learn whatever you need for your pet to be safe and happy! I am very excited to give your pets the love and care you expect to the best of my ability.I can't wait to work with you!
About: I can do drop-in visits, long walks and/or overnight stays in the southern Portland area. I work at a software company in Lake Oswego and am passionate about caring for dogs. I am extremely dependable and will go out of my way to make sure your furry loved ones get everything they need to be happy and healthy. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can be at your service at the drop of a hat. All services are meant for average dogs. If any sort of special treatment or services are needed (ie. Medications, special sleeping arrangements, specific diet etc.) I will do everything in my power to provide said treatment/service at no additional cost.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8+ years and have always had a love for animals. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, medication, or company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m also very attentive to their routines and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

I can work around your pet’s routine and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and overnight care when needed. I have a safe, comfortable home with a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet to relax and play. I have a friendly dog who is used to being around other animals, but I’m also happy to keep pets separated when needed.
About: I absolutely love dogs and I am passionate about their care! I have over 40 years of experience working with animals, and dogs are my passion. I have always considered them as part of the family, and treat them that way. I no longer have a dog of my own, so your pet will be loved and cared for in a one on one home setting. Being a Rover sitter is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I work from home, so I am able to stick to the schedule you have set and that also means lots of play breaks together in our large fenced yard! I will send you daily updates and pictures to keep you posted. I personally know how difficult it is to leave your pet behind and not worry. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, loving, and engaging experience for all dogs, and allow you as a pet parent to vacation or be at work without any stress or concern about the well-being of your fur-baby. I have experience with administering medications, preparing specialty foods, and I am familiar with basic training techniques.
“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”
About: PLEASE NOTE: CURRENT LOCATION IS NYON, SWITZERLAND. I PROVIDE SERVICES IN SWITZERLAND AND FRANCE AND AM AWAITING ROVER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SWAP ME TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT/CHANGE LOCATION. I am “that” dog owner who gets dog themed gifts from everyone, plans my day around adventures with my pups, makes my own organic treats and massages their paws with lotion before bed. I knew from an early age I didn’t want children of my own, so they really are my babies! I recently moved to Nyon, but work in Geneva. I struggled to find pet care I felt comfortable with moving here, so I know what is lacking in the industry and I would love to treat your pets like my own. I’m huge on cuddling if your dog is lazy like my golden, but also keen to keep active outdoors if they’re full of energy like my lab. No size too small or too large, no breed that scares me. I will follow your instructions to a “T,” because id hope my sitter would do the same. One of my dogs has allergies and acid reflux, so I’m comfortable administering medication! Photos and videos guaranteed throughout or time together, I can even make you some of my personalized pup cakes. On hot days, I make popsicles to keep them cool and take them to swim in the river behind my house. I also have a car with doggie seatbelts, so we can do park visits! I work from home, so I can devote as much time as needed to making sure your babies are cared for in a way that suits their needs! I live in a flat, but have a 42 square meter terrace and work from home. So, I am able to take them outside for as long as specified by you. I have two very friendly dogs of my own who will keep them company if you’d like, or we can do solo drop ins and walks. I live in a dead end street that is quiet and surrounded by nature (River, woods, vineyard). Please see my reviews, I am also background checked as I work for an international organization (and can provide anything you need to feel safe). More than happy to meet beforehand so we can have a coffee and make sure everything is a good fit!
“This is the 2nd time we have had Emily watch our pets while we were away, and both of our animals remembered who she was and were so happy to see her again! She also did an amazing job keeping watch on our home while we were away. We love having her over and will definitely be booking for all of our future trips! 😊👍”
About: So happy to take your dog where they want to go! I’ve been a dog sitter since I can remember & have sat in on multiple dog trainings. I love to be outside and live in a very dog friendly area! I’m flexible and easy going, don’t hesitate to reach out 😊 I’m currently working part time remote and have been wanting to find something to fill my time, what better than dog sitting? I am happy to stay in contact for life, I am reliable and will be very communicative. I have a very open schedule! I always follow pet owners rules. I have a large backyard for your pet and also love to get in a lot of leash walks in a day. I do not own my own pet so yours will get all my attention. Also live in a non-smoker home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coeur d'Alene
Great experience with Shelley. She was great with communication, reassurance, and consistency. I was very comfortable leaving town with her watching over our pets and home. When we returned, the pets were happy and home was well cared for. Will happily use her services again!
There is not enough words to describe Emilyanne. She has a great passion for her work and how well she cares for her clients home and pets. She is a true professional and gave us great piece of mind that our dogs were well cared for. The daily updates and photos allowed us to enjoy our time away even more. We will be using her again and highly recommend her.
Maia took great care of my cat Sammy and my house. It's my first time ever hiring someone I don't know personally so it was stressful for me before I left on my trip. But I was happy I chose Maia for the job, now I know who to hire in the future :) Sammy seemed right at home with her and was his old self when I got back two weeks later. Maia kept in touch with me and sent pictures and updates, she also answered quickly if I had any questions or concerns.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Coeur d'Alene is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Coeur d'Alene walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Coeur d'Alene maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Coeur d'Alene 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!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Coeur d'Alene. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
