“We were very nervous leaving our cats alone for the first time, but Lisa took such good care of them. Our cats are a little demanding, but she followed every request we had and asked a lot of great questions. We will definitely trust her with our cats for any future trips!”

“This was my first time using Rover (or any service) rather than having a friend who was able to take care of Bader while I was out of town. Alex was super sweet when we met and immediately had a great interaction with my dog. He even wanted to follow her out the door when she came by to drop off the key. Traitor. She sent pictures and updates each day and let me know how he seemed to be doing, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely have her watch him 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”

“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.”

“Dena was a great sitter for us - very conscientious and dependable. Our cats were thrilled to have her come over and we felt assured that they were well taken care of.”

“Stephanie did a great job caring for our cat while we were on vacation. She was reliable, consistent, responsive, and friendly. She took extra steps to ensure our cat was loved and cared for with all needs met. We will use her services again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her. 😊”


About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always considered my dogs part of the family. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their individual personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Boston Terrier, Daisy, was the love of my life. We were lucky enough to have 10 wonderful years together, and she taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of her, I understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a very important member of your family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with dogs. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, learn their routines and preferences, and make sure they receive the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone who will give them lots of attention while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I’m dependable and like to plan ahead, so I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to accommodate their individual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routines when needed. I know pets feel most comfortable when their normal routine stays consistent, so my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet! When caring for pets in their home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others need a little more space and patience. I never want a pet to feel rushed or uncomfortable, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and doing well. I’ll leave your home clean and tidy and make sure everything is just as I found it when I leave.
“Brianna was great with the cats! She made us feel much more at ease leaving them behind for our vacation. She sent updates and pictures and was very professional. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Sarah by far was the best kitty sitter we have ever had. Not only did she give us daily updates on our senior kitty, she gave him lots of love and attention. Knowing she was with every step of the way let us really enjoy our vacation without stress. We would definitely hire Sarah again and have already booked her for March 2025. Thank you Sarah!❤️”
“Angelina was very professional, and her personality is great. She cares about the animals and took great care of my cat and was very prompt. I will be calling her again to come take care of my kiddo.”

“Cailee was wonderful with my Larry Lou. He is a little stand offish but she worked through it and gained his trust. She communicated with me every day and set mind at ease. She even brought in packages that were piled on my front porch! I will use her again! She was great.”

“I'm so glad that I found Rover to help me with my cat while I was on vacation. Sherin took good care of Toby and I was relieved to see that he was happy upon my return home..”

“Shachel did a great job caring for our 2 kitties while we were out of out of town for a couple weeks. She was responsible, reliable, and loving to our cats and they felt very safe with her calm energy. We will definitely have her petsit for us again!”

“I am so thankful Christy was available to watch my Frankie Poo last week. She put me at ease, we first scheduled a house visit to get acquainted and from there it was an easy choice to proceed with her services. She is so passionate about animals, and she really loved both of our pets as much as we do. Thank you for coming over this last week, and spending time with my lil’ Frankie Frank. You’re truly a treasure!”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rathdrum on Rover is $10.7 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
