“Taylor did an awesome job with my two pups! She has excellent communication skills, very thorough, and sent the cutest pics of my pups. I can’t wait for her next visit with them. Thank you so much Taylor, I appreciate you!”
“Kayla is amazing. She was so kind to our needy hound dogs and even fed our chickens for us while we are away. She stayed in contact with us each day with pictures and even took her lunch breaks to be home to reassure our fur babies. We are very thankful for the care and love Kayla showed all of our animals while we were away. She is professional and reliable and we cannot wait to book with her again (once it is safe to travel).”

Whether it's taking your dog on a walk or playing with them at home, keeping them safe and happy regularly you can count on me to get it done.
“Abby was amazing!! We contacted her last minute to dog and house sit over Labor Day weekend and she was able to accommodate. From the meet and greet we knew she was the right person to care for our dogs and our home. Great communication during our trip, and lots of pictures and cute videos of the dogs. They absolutely loved her!! I can’t say enough about Abby’s kind and caring nature. She’ll be our “go to” sitter in the future!!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Wini to watch our aging German Shorthair. It is to the point that we really cannot leave him anymore even for a quick bite out. We decided to try Wini after having a conversation just so my wife and I could get some tasks done as we are in the process of moving. Everything went very well. It is obvious Wini has a passion for animals and was sensitive to our old boys current condition. The day was very helpful.”
“Joy was fantastic! She walked my dogs, which most sitters have not been able to do, but my dogs warmed to her so quickly. She has a wonderful way with animals and she took such good care of my 4 pets and my house. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic and we cannot thank her enough. Circumstances ended up being less than ideal as halfway through our trip hurricane Helene decided to hit, but she kept our babies safe and took care of our house the best she could. We would definitely trust her with house and pet sitting in the future and recommend her for anyone looking for top notch care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Priest River
We had an outstanding experience with Cheyenne, who stayed at our home to care for our dogs. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for our dogs. Our dogs have their personalities, and it was clear right away that they were in great hands. Cheyenne came out for a meet & greet, took the time to understand their needs, kept them on their normal schedule, and made sure they felt comfortable while we were away. We received regular updates, including photos and notes, which gave us total peace of mind. Beyond caring for the dogs, our home was treated with respect and left in excellent condition. The biggest testament is how relaxed our dogs were when we returned—it’s obvious they were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Cheyenne's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and reliable pet sitter.
Cheyenne was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Sven. This was my first time ever using a sitter outside of my family, so I was a bit hesitant—but she made the entire process easy and stress-free. Sven is a Belgian Malinois protection/working dog with high drive and strong awareness, and Cheyenne handled him with confidence, patience, and real attentiveness. That’s not something I trust easily, and she exceeded expectations. She provided regular updates with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear he was getting proper exercise, structure, and care the entire time. When I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for, always the best sign. Cheyenne provided excellent in house care, is reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her—especially if you have a high-drive or working dog/puppy

The average cost of House Sitting in Priest River is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $85 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 Priest River 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 Priest River 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 Priest River 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.
