“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.”
“Stephanie is the best with our cat, Maggie! We can tell that she really enjoys being around our cat and in turn our cat really enjoys being around Stephanie. We get the best updates from her and always feel that our kitty is well cared for. Thank you Stephanie!”
“I normally have a hard time leaving my pup, but Christy helped ease that anxiety tremendously!! She was passionate, communicative, and went above and beyond in every way. I almost don’t want to recommend her because she’s so good I want her all to myself! But I do highly, highly recommend her”
“We want to express our sincere gratitude to Angelina for taking such good care of our animal crew while we were away. Knowing that our pets were in such caring hands brought us peace of mind. Your kindness and attention to detail are truly appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Brianna was amazing she took care of me with very short notice. She did a great meet and greet the puppies loved her she kept me up-to-date the entire time I was gone with pictures and status thank you Brianna I look forward to using you again”

About: I have years of experience with horses, dogs, and cats. I have always had pets growing up, from small mutts to large high drive German Shepherds (currently have them!). I have knowledge of most breeds and their traits, which I believe helps you understand the pet itself. I have worked as an equine veterinary technician before for 2 years, which has exposed me to many different types of pets, big and small! I currently am self employed and run my own business. I enjoy going on walks and figured why not get a new buddy to go with me! I love animals and would much prefer hanging out with your cat, or dog than anything else really. I'll alway make time to pet that dog! (or cat, we don't play favorites. But we all know cats decide when they want to be pet. ;) ) I always put safety and comfort first. I follow each pet’s routine so they feel at ease, make sure they have fresh food and water, and keep their space calm and secure. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention.
“Olivia was great. My cat was in very good hands. I had to book last minute for a family emergency and she was willing to work with me in a short period of time. She kept me updated and was great about paying loving attention to my pet. Next time I leave town, I will definitely try to book her again.”
“Jackie went above and beyond my expectations. She had a flexible schedule and always spent a little extra time during her drop-in visits making sure my cat was taken care of. Would highly recommend her taking care of anyone’s animal. 10/10 stars”
“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.”
“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.”
“Just amazing. Katie was willing to come in to help us with our pup on very short notice, took great care of the dog and sent us a dozen+ glamor shots to show how much fun they had. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Kelly was amazing for helping us out with our pack. She came by once a day for potty breaks and play time while I was gone at work. Dogs loved it! Thank you so much!”
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life since I grew up in a farm. Have taken care of all of our family pets, from bunnies to dogs. I have a big heart and just genuinely love all types of animals and love to take care of them. Currently only doing an internship and have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I absolutely love dogs and all types of animals. I work 7 hours daily and then I spend a lot of time just playing with my dog and just resting during the afternoon I would prefer to take care of the pet in my client's house, but this is open for discussion depending on the circumstances and the needs of the owners.
About: I have had animals my whole life, including raising puppies through every stage of growth! Experienced with feeding, walks, playtime and affection, and making pets feel comfortable. I am currently a stay at home wife with plans to start a family in the near future! I am free all hours of the day :) I have a fenced in yard with a labradoodle and mini Australian shepherd keeping it busy! I am very attentive and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rathdrum. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
