About: Hi! I’m a college student based in Dover, also serving the Sandpoint area. I’ve grown up around dogs and have had my own for several years, so I’m very familiar with daily care like walks, feeding, and maintaining routine. Having cared for my own very energetic dog, I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m calm and patient with dogs and take time to make sure they feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors — hiking, running, and staying active — so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks or play outside. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasional house sitting. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my day around bookings. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m typically active during the day and enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks and visits fit in naturally. I treat every client’s home with respect and follow all care instructions closely. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while I’m with them. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates of your pet.
“Brazee is excellent! She got along great with our cat and was reliable and trustworthy. Loved the photos with her visit updates. Recommend her for your cat sitting needs!”
“We’ve used Breana several times for our kitty and fish and she does an amazing job! We love the photos and know our kitty gets lots of love while we’re gone. She went above and beyond beyond on our last service when our fish tank starting pumping water into the floor - yikes! She reached out right when she saw the water on the floor and then took care of the immediate need when she couldn’t reach us. Excellent service!!”
“Michelle was available on short notice, provided a pic of my dogs upon check up and followed instructions as directed. Pleased with her service. My dogs seemed to have really liked her :) Thanks Michelle!”
“Stephanie was FABULOUS! She went the extra mile to ensure our pups were happy and comfortable. Usually when I go out of town, I come home to two pups that seem pretty depressed, but when I came back this time, it's like I hadn't even left! Stephanie kept them plenty occupied and I'm sure they felt loved while they were with her. I will definitely be retaining Stephanie in the future. :)”
About: Growing up, I raised dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, and chickens, actively participating in 4-H. Now my husband and I have two active, large dogs, one we raised as a puppy and the other we adopted as an adult. We did PetSmart training for our two dogs so we have some tips and tricks if you are interested. We walk or go to the park daily for exercise for our two dogs, but we are open to different routines for our guest pups! I work from home full-time so will be with your pets during the day. We walk our dogs daily or go to the dog park. My husband is in and out due to his schedule, but generally one or both of us is always home with the dogs. Our dogs are inside most of the time (with me) but can go outside when needed. They have free reign of our home. Lots of love given during the day, plus fetch in the yard! If we are gone for a bit, we leave them inside for safety. We can easily accommodate kennels for your pups! We typically keep our dogs separate from yours. People in the home include me and my husband (no children). We are in a house with a fenced yard and no pool.
“Cheyenne did a great job taking care of our cat “Leo” while we were gone. She answered our request promptly and came the same day for meet and instructions. Thanks to her our plants stayed alive while we were gone in the almost 100 degree heat because she did some watering as well and we really appreciated that. Leo seemed well taken care of when we returned.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Lucille! She communicated consistently and kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put me at ease. Even when my sassy kitty decided to give her a little love bite, she handled it with such professionalism and understanding. It’s clear she truly cares about animals and their unique personalities. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dover stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
