“Lisa was the best. She was consistent, loving and eager to hang with my dog! I work from home and this was my first time I had to leave him in the crate longer than usual. The pictures she sent brought me so much peace of mind while I was gone and I truly am so grateful!”
“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.”
“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 🙌🏼”
“We are so glad for your care Monica. It was our first Rover experience. It made the 3 day getaway so relaxing and would absolutely love to have Monica care for our 3 cats (and us) in the future. Fun summaries and selfie pics made it easy to relax. All 3 cats were their normal selves. Playful Toffee had a blast. Shy Carbon lap snuggled. Outdoor Argent also showed his snuggly self.”
“Having Crystal drop in on our cats was a pleasure. We really liked her, and she was very caring for our (weird) elderly cats, even though they mostly hid during her visits. She handled an unexpected mess on the carpet like a pro. We're impressed and would definitely book her again - highly recommend!”
“Kelly is caring and listens to the needs of your dog. Bella had a great time with her puppy Daisy. I felt comfortable leaving Bella with Kelly and knew she would be well cared for. Highly recommend. Her dog Daisy is well trained and great for Bella. Can’t wait for her next visit.”
“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”
“Mellany did a fantastic job taking care of our “spoiled” cat, Nin. She was extremely conscientious regarding her feeding and schedule. Mellany exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her based on our experience. We would not hesitate requesting her services in the future.”
“Rachel was wonderful! It was out first time leaving our new puppy overnight and we felt our fur baby was taken care of with her. She was very good with updates and our daisy girl loved her and greta !”
About: Hi! I’m Kari, an animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a 5-month-old chocolate Labrador named Greta and two horses, and I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, fish, rats, cows, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and medication. I’m experienced with large breeds, high-energy dogs, shy or timid pets, and reactive dogs that need a calm, confident handler. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed feeding schedules, medication routines, training plans, and any other instructions that help keep your pet happy and comfortable. Before moving to North Idaho, I spent 13 years in law enforcement. That career taught me responsibility, attention to detail, clear communication, and how to stay calm under pressure—qualities I now bring to every pet I care for. I moved here for a slower pace of life, and caring for animals has been the perfect fit. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! My schedule is open and flexible to care for your furry family member! I am open to short notice bookings and update my calendar for availability regularly. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. Whether we’re going on walks, playing fetch, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. You can also count on regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
“Christy is the ONLY one I would leave my girl with! I trust her beyond words! My baby had an unexpected Surgery before I left but Christy took care of her wound, cuddled her, gave her meds along with ALL the regular great things she does!!! I also got pictures so I could see everything!”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m Crystal, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. As a proud pet owner myself, we have a 2 year old Goldendoodle, and an easy going 4 year old daughter. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for your furry family members. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of pet behavior, my gentle approach to training puppies, and my specialized care for senior pets. I’m experienced in administering medications, managing mobility issues, and creating a calm, nurturing environment for older animals. I also work with pets who have anxiety or special needs, using positive reinforcement and patience to help them feel safe and loved. Whether it’s daily dog walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m based in Coeur d’Alene Idaho, and serve the surrounding areas. I’m fully insured, background-checked, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your pets and become their new favorite human! With over 15 years of experience, pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. Mornings begin with walks and feedings, followed by midday drop-in visits and playtime. Afternoons are reserved for second walks, pet taxi services, and prepping for overnight stays. Evenings wrap up with final check-ins and pet updates. Weekly tasks include restocking supplies, scheduling meet-and-greets, and updating care plans to ensure every pet receives loving, personalized attention. Our pets are our family, and I enjoy every minute of caring for them. I strive to create a safe, loving, and structured environment for the pets in my care, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my home, I make sure pets are comfortable and secure by pet-proofing the space, providing cozy bedding, and offering plenty of toys and enrichment activities. I follow each pet’s specific feeding schedule, ensure fresh water is always available, and give them daily walks, playtime, and affection. I’m attentive to their health and behavior, and I administer medications when needed, always keeping a calm, nurturing atmosphere. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and professionalism. I follow detailed care instructions, maintain cleanliness, and send regular updates with photos and notes so owners feel confident and reassured. My services include feeding, walking, administering medications, and light household tasks like collecting mail or watering plants if requested. I’m vigilant about safety, locking doors, monitoring pets closely, and keeping emergency contacts and vet information readily available. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for, regardless of their location.
“Dena is great! One of our dogs ended up on a couple medications due to a leg injury and Dena was more than happy to give them to her twice a day. She left detailed messages on how the dogs were doing after each visit. She also included some fun pictures of them. We could tell they were being well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you, Dena!”
“Janelle was great with our dog! She took her on walks, rode her bike with her and spent extra time making sure she was a happy pup while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Cailee did a great job taking care of my pup while I was out of town for work. She was even available for an additional day (at the last minute) due to flight delays on my part. Consider me a repeat customer.”

Nike was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our whole crew—cats, birds, and chickens—while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos; they were thoughtful and reassuring. She’s kind, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease during our trip. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Lauren was available on short notice to come and watch our 2 dogs and it was great! She made sure to provide updates every time she stopped by and include pictures. I felt very comfortable with her coming in to our home while we were gone to take care of our babies. Would definitely book again!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Hayden 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 99% 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 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.
