“Shachel’s quiet and gentle ways are a godsend for my anxious pup. This was my second trip with Shachel holding down the fort and, as before, I returned to a happy dog…and my home as clean as I left it. Am so thankful to have found Shachel!”
“We are really happy to have connected with Sarah here on Rover. She is very responsive and put our minds at ease about leaving our pets at home for a few days. She sent regular updates and photos and we were assured that our dog and 2 cats were in great hands. When we returned home, everything was in order and the pets were all nice and comfy. We will definitely book Sarah again!”
“Monica was booked for housesitting and watching my dog for three days. She did great and was very attentive with my dog Diego. I would definitely recommend her if you need a house sitter and somebody to watch your pets. She is very trustworthy. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“We would definitely recommend Josh. When we got home the pups were happy and the house was in good order. He even checked in with us to make sure we got home ok and offered to check on the pups if we were running late. Him and his fiancée had good energy and made us feel like our pups were in good hands.”
About: I am a school counselor, a mom, an adventurer, and a huge pet lover! We recently adopted a sweet Pitty named Bruce and are head over heels in love with the guy. I am no longer able to accommodate pets for daycare or overnights, but am happy to still check in at your home and go for walks :) I grew up with 6 shih tzus, 5 ferrets, 2 parakeets, and a mink. My pets were a part of our family and were always well cared for. I personally have owned a pit bull (now 2), a husky malamute mix, a german short hair, a terrier, a ferret, 4 cows, 4 ducks, 3 pigs, and 12 chickens. I have experience caring for animals of all ages. I enjoy going for walks and hikes and am looking forward to having some pet pals to tag along. I am patient, flexible, and open to new opportunities to bond with different types of pets. I'm available most weekends and holiday breaks. For longer durations please send me a message and I'll try my best to work with your schedule. I love the outdoors and would love to take your pet on some short hikes around local parks with your permission of course. When doing drop ins and walking your pet I am always happy to play fetch, tug of war, get in all the snuggles, and soak up all the fun.
“Rebecca was amazing with our 2 pups. Our older dog is high anxiety and she looked very comfortable and content being with Rebecca. Looking forward to using Rebecca again when the need arises!”
“Christy is a jewel!! She is so kind and professional . She sent pictures daily and was prompt with communications . We will request her in the future and refer her as well . We are greatful to have found her and this service.”
“Cailee is so wonderful! This was the first time we had used a dog/house sitter that we didn't know. She took the extra time to come by and meet us and the dogs a few days before our trip. The dogs absolutely love her and we will definitely be asking her to watch them in the future.”
“Angelina was excellent and kept us updated while watching our pups - it was such a relief to leave our dogs with someone who so obviously adored them as much as we do. Would love to have her help again!”
“Jackie did an excellent job with our senior Lab. He loved her from the moment he met her. She sent us lots of pictures and stayed in communication keeping us posted on all his adventures. At one point my husband said “he is having so much fun he may not want to leave”! Additionally, she did a great job watering all of my plants and vegetables during a hot spell. They all looked better than when we left. We arrived home to a spotless house, a beautiful thank you note, fresh baked cookies and sourdough bread! I would highly recommend Jackie to care of your precious pets!”
“Truly, cannot say enough nice things about Xenia! She took such great care of my “kids” while I was gone. I haven’t left them with a sitter for this long (6days) and was super stressed. I got pictures and updates every day and the house was sparkly upon my return. So many thanks to her!!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life, and I have my own dog named Milo. I treat everyone’s pets as if they were mine. I have plenty of time in my day to care for your pets. My job is flexible with hours and I am always able to work things around. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of dog toys, and two fur babies, so your pup/s would be able to interact as if they were home.
“Gabby & Kade were wonderful. They took such good care of our puppy while we were on vacation. They gave us puppy updates 3x per day, and you could tell he was happy and well cared for. The house was very clean when we returned home and they just did an overall excellent job. Thank you both!”
“Heidi watched our 3 dogs for 5 days and did an amazing job! She sent updates & photos without asking and took care of our home. We made sure it was super clean for her & she returned the favor. Highly recommend.”
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.
“Rebecca was absolutely fantastic! Such a great sitter! She took care of our Labrador over a weekend for us and took excellent care of the dog and the house. She sent regular updates and photos and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommended!”
“Joy did a wonderful job on watching our little senior pug! She sent pictures and communication was fabulous! We had a happy little dog when we got home and she was respectful to our home! Definitely would recommend her! We will use her again for future trips! Thank you again for the great care!💓”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Post Falls
Josh (and his partner Rachel) are hands down our favorite petsitters! He took care of our two dogs and cat in our home while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. He kept us updated with photos and we felt so relaxed knowing our pets were in great hands. We returned to a home that was cleaner than we left it, and three happy, loved pets!! We always joke that our pets love Josh and Rachel more than they love us 😂

FAQs for House Sitting - Post Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Post Falls on Rover is $42.38 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 734 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Post Falls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.

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.
