Pet Sitting Coeur d'Alene

“It was my first time using Rover, so was a little apprehensive. But Melissa eased my fears when she did a meet and greet prior to watching our 2 dogs. She is very knowledgeable and has a tremendous amount of experience. We were able to get away for the week-end knowing our dogs were lovingly cared for. Melissa provided notes and pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely use again!”

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…

“Sarah was dependable and prompt. She did a great job taking care of our cat, and watered my plants. She was available on short notice, and her price was reasonable.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always considered my dogs part of the family. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their individual personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Boston Terrier, Daisy, was the love of my life. We were lucky enough to have 10 wonderful years together, and she taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of her, I understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a very important member of your family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with dogs. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, learn their routines and preferences, and make sure they receive the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone who will give them lots of attention while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I’m dependable and like to plan ahead, so I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to accommodate their individual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routines when needed. I know pets feel most comfortable when their normal routine stays consistent, so my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet! When caring for pets in their home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others need a little more space and patience. I never want a pet to feel rushed or uncomfortable, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and doing well. I’ll leave your home clean and tidy and make sure everything is just as I found it when I leave.

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.

“Becky was able to accommodate my My Wife and I on short notice - she was prompt - communicative - all around lovely to work with.”

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.

“Andrea is very clearly a pet lover. She is prompt to respond to booking requests, and takes a lot of pride in the care of the animals she works with. She is always great about communicating how her visits/walks go, and I can always be assured that my dog is in safe hands. The fact that she has great animals that are fast becoming friends with my dog is a nice cherry on top! Book Andrea with confidence!”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats most of my life and I'm trusted by neighbors, family and friends to do the same for their animals. I am a professional who works mostly from home with a flexible schedule so I am easily able to meet your pet’s individual needs. An animal lover with no current live-in pets, I have been a dog mom multiple times over. During my undergraduate years at WSU, I initially pursued a pre-vet track before I switched to marine science. In the course of my studies, I served in two different vet clinics as a technician, experience I draw on to give your pet a high level of care and support. I'm currently working part-time so will have plenty of time for quality interaction with your pet! I live in a pet friendly neighborhood so it’s easy to take dogs on walks and frequent local parks. I am a very detail-oriented and communicative person who will treat your pet and property with love and respect. Pets need to be well trained - I am happy to accommodate needs as I can!

About: For the past 15 years we’ve had 2-3 dogs and truly believe our dogs are a part of our family. Currently we have a 2 year old Aussiedoodle and we have two kids who love to play with dogs but also understand when a dog needs his or her space. We do allow dogs on the couch and have plenty of room for a dog bed if provided. I’ve had pets all my life and understand how important it is to have someone watching them who will treat them love and respect. I’m currently a stay at home mom and my husband works from home. While we have daily chores and errands we run everything is adjustable to fit your dogs needs. I’m rarely gone more then 2 hours at a time and there will usually always be someone home in my absence. Dogs are welcome to come in and out of our home via a doggie door and have full access to our large backyard. We recently moved and the yard is even bigger and better than before! If you require walks or even trips to the dog park we can definitely accommodate that. We do allow dogs on the couch and we have gates set up to keep dogs on our main level giving us the ability to keep a close watch on them. Note: For puppies under 1 or dogs with chewing tendencies or destructive separation anxiety we may require a crate. We do have one extra available and can definitely discuss further at the meet and greet. I’m currently a stay at home Mom so my schedule is flexible. I’m able to be home as much as needed and rarely leave for extended periods of time. My husband works from home so there will most likely always be someone around. In addition to our one dog we can board up to three additional dogs at one time. I will do my best to keep you updated and informed if there will be any additional dogs in the house at the time of your pets visit but I do quite often receive last minute request. Drop off/pick up times between 7:00 AM - 10:30 PM, any request outside these times may require an additional night to be booked. We recently moved into our new home which is larger then the old one with TONS of space for the dogs, a covered patio to relax under and a fully fenced in yard. We plan to install a doggie door as soon as possible so dogs can have free access in and out of the house. While rare to have more the. 3 additional dogs in the house we will occasionally take up to 5 additional dogs at one time. While we do our absolute best to monitor the dogs 24/7 they are dogs and can be unpredictable, we do our best to maintain a safe environment for all dogs and will inform you of any issues that arise.

About: We have lots of experience with dogs and cats from youngsters, to active, to frail seniors. Pet friendly home with a clean and comfortable fenced yard. My husband and I are semi-retired, active family. At home most every day. We play in the backyard and take walks in our peaceful neighborhood. We have a lovely private fenced backyard. We have room for your crate or kennel and we also have a pet play pen if needed.

“Gabby and Kade took great care of my fur babies while I was away. They sent lots of pictures and followed my whole list of instructions. They spent time playing with them and made sure they felt comfortable while I was gone! Thank you Gabby and Kade!!”

About: Hello! My name is Emma Brown and I work in the outdoor field hoping to work with wildlife in the future. I have always had dogs in my household growing up. Ever since I was young, I made it my job to teach my dogs tricks, make sure they don’t get into trouble, and give them the best home. At one point, my childhood dog had a litter of 11 chocolate lab puppies. I helped to raise them up all the way until they left for their new homes. I also watched other people’s dogs growing up. I have always made it my priority to understand each pet owners request and stick to that schedule. Prioritizing each dog’s safety and health has always been my biggest strength as well. This is what I love to do and I can’t wait to get to know your pets! I’m currently in between jobs right now and will have a lot of time to be with your pets. Depending on what you ask, I can take out your pets on walks, to be let out, or to just be around however long you may ask for. Just let me know what schedule you’d like me to fit into. I unfortunately can’t house your dog in my home. I can pet and house sit to make sure to keep their schedule as normal as possible. I always try my best to prioritize their safety and health, so only giving them their own food and treats is how I do so. I don’t feed my own pets my extra food scraps so don’t worry about that. Once you let me know of their schedule, I’ll follow it to the best of my ability. I would also love to know their mannerisms and quirks so I can best approach them and their care.

“Brianna was amazing she took care of me with very short notice. She did a great meet and greet the puppies loved her she kept me up-to-date the entire time I was gone with pictures and status thank you Brianna I look forward to using you again”

About: I have had animals since I was a little girl and I’ve always had at least one dog for my whole life— until I lost my last sweet frenchie to Cancer in May 2026. My dogs are like children to me and I understand just how hard it is to find someone I can trust to watch them if I need to be out of town. I am looking to provide the quality care for others that I have been looking for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. If you have unique scheduling needs, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I am a neat freak with a dog who sheds and drools uncontrollably. It’s work! But it’s so worth it. I understand the unique needs of others. As a special education teacher, I apply the same behavior principals to my animals. They need to earn your trust and can take time to do so. I am committed to creating a safe, trusting and caring environment that stays tidy!

About: I have cared, worked and trained with countless dogs over the last six years, loving every single minute of it. Early in my journey, a mentor shared a piece of wisdom that forever shaped my philosophy: "An animal trained with a focus on compliance through force or fear will always run into something or someone that creates more fear than you can match. But if you train based on a relationship of fair boundaries, kindness, and reliability, something incredible happens. When that dog runs into a terrifying situation, they won't run away. They will run to you because you are their safety and their home." - Terra Ruiz. This is the foundation of everything I do. I grew up surrounded by multiple Standard Poodles and later spent time working with horses, which deeply shaped my understanding of animal behavior and the subtle dynamics of pressure-and-release. More recently I've volunteered and worked along side sertch and rescue K9 handlers continuing my learning. My goal is to help you have the best care possible for your pet and build and keep an unshakeable bond with your pet, rooted in mutual trust rather than constant micromanagement. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, from early morning visits and midday walks to evening check-ins and extended stays. I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pet's routine to provide consistent, dependable care when you need it most! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my priorities. With six years of professional animal care and training experience, I’m attentive to body language, safe handling, and each pet’s individual needs. I follow your care instructions, respect your home and your pet’s boundaries, and provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
