“Kristen was amazing while looking after our two fur babies for a week. Attentively, she noticed our older lab had a limp and kept us informed of his progress. She was kind enough to send videos and photos throughout her stay. We truly appreciated how she looked after our dogs and our home as if it was hers.”
“Cailee was great with my dog, Carlos (who can be a handful)! She sent great video and photo updates throughout the stay, and was super accommodating about scheduling. She went out of her way to stick to his routine and make him as comfortable as possible. I would gladly have her stay with him again!”
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.
“Livvi was such a great dog sitter. Our pups loved her. We came home to find everything as it should be. She went the extra mile to come by for a second introduction just a couple of days before we left so that the dogs would be familiar with her. I highly recommend her! You can tell she loves dogs and they love her.”
“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: My childhood was shared with dogs of all kinds! Growing up we housed 5+ dogs at any given time. For 8 years of my life (between 13-21 years old) we were an active foster family. Successfully caring and training over 50 dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! While I have the most experience with small breeds, I am comfortable with all dogs. - I have experience with dogs ranging from newborn to senior! I have cared for all types of breeds, including energetic, combative, playful, and vocal. - I understand not all dogs are on their perfect behavior! I have dealt with food aggression, territorial, and disobedient tendencies. This does not bother me; patience is key! - I have LOTS of experience with both deaf and blind dogs. I currently work part-time. Although my schedule is not always consistent, I am willing to go the extra mile to make sure your dog is given the best care possible. I live in an apartment near the centennial trail! I am within a mile of multiple dog parks. Although I do not personally have a backyard, the apartment is very dog-friendly.
“Julie was just amazing. She watched our dog Forrest for two weeks while we were out of town and when we got back our house was cleaner than when we had left. The kitchen and bathrooms had been cleaned and clean sheets on the bed for us. And the best thing is she loves Forrest and he loves having her there to watch him. Just amazing”
“Aurora did a fantastic job while I was out of the country. She watched my house and my dog. She communicated often and sent me pictures so I could relax knowing my pup and home were in good hands.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jessalyn and would book with her again. She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated, sent lots of pictures and videos which was so fun to see, and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. She even gave him baths before we got home and vacuumed everything up afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch and so appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared for him which is so nice to see when we are out on a trip. We're so grateful for the excellent care and attention she provided. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter!”
“They do great work! Dog is happy, house is clean, and communication is good. This is our second time using them and hope to have a lasting relationship with them.”
“Kat took amazing care of our fur babies and house! Our dogs instantly liked her and felt comfortable with her. Kat was very kind, respectful, had good communication, and you can tell she is an animal person! We will definitely use her again to dog sit!”
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.
“Wow, Kate was great! Yes, of course my pup was very happy to see me when I returned, but I could tell he had formed a strong bond with Kate. He clearly had been well taken care of, as depicted in the daily pictures Kate sent my way. He surely got his exercise. In addition, my place was well taken care of and clean when I returned from my trip. Thanks, Kate!”
“Monique because it’s delightful! My dog loved her! She took my dog for a walk and played with her. She reported with pictures couple times a day. My house was in great order when I came home. She even pulled the sheets off the bed and washed them for me. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her service.”
“We are so appreciative of Taylor and Mary for taking such wonderful care of Luna! The communication, daily photos, and peace of mind knowing our girl was in great hands made our trip so much more relaxing. When there was a possibility of a flight delay or cancellation, Taylor was so flexible and kind, even offering to stay an extra night with Luna. That really put us at ease during an already stressful situation! We would absolutely love to have them watch Luna again on our next trip and hope they’re available. We can’t recommend them enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Post Falls
Ben was amazing! He was super responsive and kept me updated at all times. In addition, he was extremely flexible in accommodating some last minute changes to the booking. Lastly, he went above and beyond and offered to take out the trash given I was out on vacation. My dog was super happy and I seen on my backyard camera how excited he would get to go outside and play. Even getting sent pictures I was amazed and how well Ben was able to capture pics given my dog doesn’t even let me take pictures that good. Will definitely rebook and highly recommended for anyone who is looking for someone reliable and trustworthy.

The average cost of House Sitting in Post Falls is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night.

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 Post Falls 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 Post Falls 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 Post Falls 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.

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.
