Dog Boarding in Rathdrum, ID

“Lindsey and Leland, et al, were great. 😊. They seemed super excited to have my baby Brandy, Brandy seemed very at ease with them When I picked her up. She was very chill - way different than she is when she is at a kennel. I was nervous as to how she would do, but the team at Lindsey and Leland’s seemed great. Brandy already has time set up to “visit” with them again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 25 years. At one point I ran a certified rescue where I fostered and trained shelter dogs. I understand and love dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities. I work from home and have flexibility with my schedule. I’m able to provide all kinds of care on any schedule including walks, playing in my yard or trips to dog parks or trails if that’s what you would like for your pup. I have a good sized split level home and a well fenced secure big backyard. There’s a dog door for outdoor porch and backyard access. Your pups will never be left unattended. Dogs are welcome everywhere in my home including beds and couches.

“Shaunette is amazing! Excellent communication. We went and met her before having her watch the dogs and she made us feel right at home. It’s obvious that she loves dogs with a passion. She sent me pictures every single day that she had the dogs. And both of my dogs felt right at home immediately. I actually can’t wait to use her again.”

“Fred and Isabelle were absolutely amazing! It was Jasper’s first time boarding and they were great at making him feel at home and giving updates to reassure us he was doing well. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you for taking such awesome care of Jasper!”

“We have booked with Heidi numerous times, because our dogs adore her! She is so good with them and takes such good care of them, from my hyper Lab to my senior old lady mutt!”

“Kara was excellent with our Golden Retriever, puppy. We were so lucky to have her take care of him. You could tell she truly cared about animals. She had a perfect place for our dog to stay with a great fenced in backyard. If we are in the area again we will contact Kara!”

“Ranger had a fabulous time hanging out with Carolyn and Sarah for the weekend while we went to Glacier. He loved playing with their two dogs and was tuckered out by the time he got home. Ranger will be excited to go back for more playtime next time we have to leave town. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet professional with 11 years of experience in veterinary medicine, certification in dog training, and active board member to a local animal shelter. So caring for animals is truly my passion and profession. My background allows me to provide a level of attention, safety, and knowledge that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies who are still learning the basics, senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care, and pets who require medications or special routines. I’m also happy to reinforce training, structure, and good manners during my visits so your dog stays consistent with what they’re learning at home. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines so pets feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. Because of my veterinary background, I’m also experienced in monitoring for health concerns and administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, training reinforcement, or calm companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to give owners peace of mind through communication, reliability, and professional-level care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐾 With my current schedule, I wake up early to make sure every dog’s needs are met—whether that’s potty breaks, medication administration, or starting the day on a calm routine. After I return home from work, I spend plenty of time with the dogs for play, exercise, enrichment activities, and their regular feeding routine. My home environment is structured, calm, and designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. With my background in veterinary medicine and dog training, I focus on maintaining clear routines and a low-stress environment so dogs settle in quickly and feel secure. Dogs staying with me follow a consistent daily routine that includes potty breaks, enrichment, rest time, and play. Structure helps dogs relax and prevents overstimulation, which is especially important for puppies, high-energy dogs, or dogs who thrive on predictability. I have a large backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time for exercise, play, and mental stimulation. Playtime is always monitored to ensure dogs stay safe and comfortable. For safety and proper rest, I also have Impact Kennels available for structured downtime. Crate time is used as a positive, calm space for dogs to decompress, eat meals, or sleep—similar to the routines many trainers and veterinary professionals recommend. For dogs that enjoy extra activity, I also offer optional hikes and adventure walks, providing additional exercise and enrichment depending on the dog’s energy level and owner preferences. Every dog is different, so I tailor care to their personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

“Oscar spent a few days with Heather and was clearly well looked after, relaxed and happy. The communication was great and it's always nice to receive pictures and updates—I can only recommend Heather and would happily book with her again. Cheers!”

“This was our first time ever using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They took such incredible care of our dog and truly treated her like one of their own. It was obvious she felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time she was there. She got along so well with their dog, and they played hard every single day, which made us so happy to see. We also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and communication while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog. We wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”

“Wendy was fantastic! My lil man is a 6 month old mini Aussie who is a service dog in training. It was really important to me to find someone who not only had a good facility and space for the dogs but who had a good knowledge base and could help make sure we didn’t lose any of the training we’ve been working so hard at. Wendy made me feel so comfortable leaving my precious angel with her and was very considerate. She double checked Rogue’s typical practices and did her best to keep things as consistent as made sense. Throughout the weekend she kept me updated and was even able to accommodate when I had some unforeseen changes in pickup time. It was an almost an hour out of my way to pick up and drop off Rogue but Wendy made it more than worth every minute ^.^ She’ll be my go-to boarder from now on 😁”

“Our dog came home happier and more relaxed than ever after his stay—Kelly and her family showered him with love and attention the entire time. She sent the sweetest daily photo updates; we couldn’t ask for a kinder, more trustworthy person to watch our fur baby!”

“Laura is a fantastic pet sitter. I received daily updates and pictures. She was very responsive and professional. I would 100% recommend Laura.”

Patrick W.

“I was thrilled to find Rebecca! What a perfect layout for a dog to have a good time! Rebecca is obviously a dog Mom and I felt so at ease leaving Lincoln with her. We will be back!”

Amy D.

“This was our first time using Rover. Alton and Valerie were very communicative and sent photos daily. Their home is very welcoming and set up well for hosting. Our dog Sunny got outside regularly and was able to play with their dog as well as other pups that were staying while she was there. Wonderful experience and would definitely use them again!”

About: Raised around show dogs, with 15 years hands‑on training experience. Professional educator offering loving, dog‑only care—walks, enrichment, adventures, or calm indoor comfort, individually tailored. Huge Heart. Currently my schedule is very open for all work. If this does not fill the schedule, will need to adjust around other work. But this is my current priority. If other work is needed, pets still come first and receive 150% love, care, and attention. My doggy is on the rainbow bridge. It is just me in the home. I follow the owners rules and wishes. I want to keep to their training and routines. I don't want the owner coming home to a doggy with bad habits or upset tummy. I want to keep the same diet and structure. I'm a professional, certified teacher and past hospital worker. Absolutely love to love on doggies. I have over 50 five-star reviews on airbnb and lots of other references and letters of reference I can provide you.

“Katie was amazing! Our dog Nova had to much fun playing in her big back yard and snuggling on the couch. Thanks, Katie, for giving Nova a great Thanksgiving vacation!”
