“Dena did a great job caring for my 3 dogs while I was away. She fed them, played ball with them for exercise, and loved them up! She was great at communicating with me, and sent Rover cards and photos! She was very professional and friendly. I will definitely call on Dena again in the future for dog care and would highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for taking such special time with umi while we were away. You and your son provided such lovely updates and pictures. We especially enjoyed the ones of umi surrounded by all of her critter toys 🥹 we will absolutely be reaching out again if we ever need additional care. You brought us such peace of mind. Thank you again, Melissa! ❤️”
About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…
“I normally have a hard time leaving my pup, but Christy helped ease that anxiety tremendously!! She was passionate, communicative, and went above and beyond in every way. I almost don’t want to recommend her because she’s so good I want her all to myself! But I do highly, highly recommend her”
About: What sets me apart is that I have cared for pets my entire life and genuinely treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I am experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders when needed. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have had pets my entire life. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, so I am available before and after work for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. Evenings and weekends allow me to spend additional quality time with pets and ensure they stay comfortable and happy. I enjoy maintaining their normal routines so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. Safety and trust are very important to me. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, ensure doors and gates are secure, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
“Shachel did a great job of taking care of my 3 cats while I was away! I really enjoyed getting the update notifications and pictures, and I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands while I was gone! Highly recommend Shachel!”
“Andrea was consistent on her drop ins for our dog Columbia. She relayed to us updates and what she did with photos of Columbia. Even though we were quite busy on our trip we appreciated knowing what was going on at home, which gave us peace of mind. Thank you, Angela and Kevin”

Feeding, walking, playing with, and taking care of the house as well while pet sitting. Currently moved to Coeur D’Alene! My schedule is flexible, and I am available nearly every afternoon and on the weekends for your furry friends and family.

About: I've grown up with pets all my life on my family's ranch, where my dad and I specialized in training a wide range of dog breeds in bird hunting, hound hunting, herding, and general obedience skills. I am available on weekends and throughout most hours of the day during the week. I do work full time as a fish biologist, but my schedule is flexible and allows me to care for pets as needed to make sure they are always given proper care. I have a 2 year old golden retriever thats very friendly and playful. We go on walks twice a day and frequently visit dog parks. I also have a yard available for dogs to play in and use the bathroom.
“Angelina did a fantastic job! She communicated well and took pictures each drop in which we loved. She took great care of our special needs dog and we felt comfortable with her right away. We will absolutely rebook!”
“Amanda did a great job feeding my pups while I was away! My dogs love her, and she enjoyed her time with them. She sent a Rover card and photos, which also provided the time she started and finished. I will definitely call on her again in the future. Thanks, Carol”

I've also fostered dogs in my home, and been privileged to be Mom to an Old English Sheepdog, Newfie, and now a Malamute named London. I am currently studying remotely for my Master's in nutritional health, so I'm at home all day. I hike with my pup twice a day, come rain or shine. I have a fully fenced (6ft) yard that is fully secure. We live on a quiet street and are just a few minutes' walk from a fenced dog park and a beautiful and quiet trail system.

I am 32, I have yet to meet someone who doesn't call me sweet, and I think old people are the cutest thing ever, aside from puppies & kittens, of coarse. My desire someday is to work in a wildlife rescue, zoo, or/and own my own property to create a hobby farm/mixed animal boarding facility with fenced acreage for dogs and other animals to run around on and play. Thank you for considering me to watch your fur babies! Have a furbulous day ;) I will make sure to spend enough time in the mornings caring for your pets, taking them out, spending time with them, going for a walk or playing or cuddling before I have to go. After i get back, I will let dogs out, and make sure to feed the animals and let them out one more time before bed! I dont take them anywhere without permission. I'll play with them either in their yard or in the house. I like to give them treats.

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.
About: Having grown up in a household filled with pets – 5 dogs, 3 cats, 3 hamsters, 2 birds, and a guinea pig – my love for animals has been a constant in my life. I'm that person who stops and asks, "Can I pet your dog?" every time a pup passes on the sidewalk. Thanks to a recent job layoff, I've got all the time in the world to give love and attention to fur babies in need. I'm friendly, loving, punctual, trustworthy and responsible. Pets are family to me, and I assure you that yours will feel safe and loved while you're away! I was recently laid off, so I've got all the time in the world to watch after your pets! I'm available for dog walks, dog/house sitting, cat/house sitting, and drop-ins.

Rachel and her daughter were wonderful with our dogs! They had great communication with us the whole time, and they genuinely enjoyed playing with our pups and checking in on them. We would highly recommend anyone pick Rachel if they are looking for some pup coverage!
Thank you so much for taking such special time with umi while we were away. You and your son provided such lovely updates and pictures. We especially enjoyed the ones of umi surrounded by all of her critter toys 🥹 we will absolutely be reaching out again if we ever need additional care. You brought us such peace of mind. Thank you again, Melissa! ❤️
Layla was amazing! I think my cat might like her more than me, now. She took great care of my lil cat & made me feel at ease with leaving her at home. Layla sent such sweet messages with the cute pictures she took. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!! It was great having a vacation without having to worry about whether my pet was okay 🙌🏼
Laura was wonderful to work with. It's evident that she is well versed in animal care. She was gentle and kind with my pets. She was great at communicating and overall on it. We felt at ease traveling knowing our home and cat were in good hands. Based in our experience with Laura, I highly recommend her for pet or house sitting.
I am so thankful Christy was available to watch my Frankie Poo last week. She put me at ease, we first scheduled a house visit to get acquainted and from there it was an easy choice to proceed with her services. She is so passionate about animals, and she really loved both of our pets as much as we do. Thank you for coming over this last week, and spending time with my lil’ Frankie Frank. You’re truly a treasure!
Emilyanne was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our 2 cats, 28 chickens and 1 goose. Her communication was great and she sent multiple pictures/videos each day. She went above and beyond with cleaning and spending time interacting with the cats. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone.
Jeanette did an excellent job and took great care of my kitty--seeing she got lots of petting, brushing and loves. That's important for Pandora as she is a very people oriented little girl. Every thing was clean and neat and Jeannette even put out some bird seed without being asked. We will definitely have her back.
Maia was extremely sweet and made sure that our kitty, Cinder, was well cared for. She provided quality care and play, and sent us frequent updates with photos and the occasional video. She was communicative with us, and we could tell that Cinder who struggles with separation anxiety, did a lot better than she normally does when we're gone for a while. Thanks Maia! <3

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Coeur d'Alene is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,079 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coeur d'Alene. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Coeur d'Alene. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
