The level of attention, love and care she gave allowed us to be at peace on our trip and trust that June was having the best time as well.

About: 🐾 Double the Love, Double the Care: Active, Experienced Family Ready to Pamper Your Pup! Hi there, fellow dog lovers! If you are looking for a pet-sitting team that will treat your four-legged family member like royalty, you’ve found us. I’m a lifelong dog devotee, and I am completely obsessed with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. What truly sets us apart as Rover sitters is that your dog gets a full family experience with round-the-clock attention, endless cuddles, and an ultra-active lifestyle tailored exactly to their energy levels. Here is what makes our home the ultimate vacation spot for your pup: • Over a Decade of Hands-On Experience: My journey started with my own German Shepherd, Misty, whom I raised and loved from birth until she passed at 12 years old. Having a large breed from puppyhood through her golden senior years gave me deep, firsthand knowledge of puppy training boundaries and the gentle, attentive senior care needed for aging joints and medication schedules. • The Dynamic Duo Effect: Because my 12-year-old and I work as a team, your dog will never feel lonely. We are regular "foster mamas" and the go-to dog sitters for all our friends' pets. We know how to read dog body language, respect their boundaries, and shower them with the exact type of affection they prefer in our clean and smoke free home. • Active Adventures & Infinite Cuddles: We love to stay moving! Whether your dog thrives on long, energetic walks and playing fetch or prefers a slow, breezy stroll around the neighborhood, we adapt to them. • The Ultimate Couch Companions: Once the energy is burned off, we are big believers in couch cuddles. If your dog is used to sleeping at the foot of the bed or getting belly rubs, they will get a 5-star cuddle experience here. We know how hard it is to leave your baby behind, which is why we commit to sending you frequent photo and video updates. We can't wait to welcome your pup into our pack! As a stay-at-home mama, your pup becomes a seamless part of our daily routine and is rarely left alone! While I am home most days and nights to provide constant love, I do have occasional brief outings for errands or family activities. Here is how we seamlessly blend pet care into our routine: • Constant Companionship: Because I am home the vast majority of the day, your dog gets consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and endless love from my 12-year-old and me. • On-the-Go Buddy: For my brief outings, I love to bring your pup along with me whenever possible! If they enjoy car rides and running errands, they will get to be my little sidekick. • Safe & Brief Alone Time: If an outing isn't dog-friendly, their alone time will be kept very short. We will ensure they are perfectly safe, comfortable, and settled before we step out. • Tailored Routines: We easily map our day around your dog's regular schedule for feeding, medications, and walks, ensuring their routine stays exactly as it is at home. Your little one will get the perfect mix of active family life, fun outings, and cozy couch time! We offer a safe, pristine, and entirely dog-focused environment where your pup gets 100% of our attention! Because we currently do not have any pets of our own, your dog won't have to share the spotlight or deal with the stress of strange animals—our home belongs entirely to them during their stay. Here is exactly how we care for your little one in our home: • A Clean, Smoke-Free Space: Our home is entirely non-smoking, tidy, and safely dog-proofed. Your pup will have plenty of clean, comfortable spaces to relax, stretch out, and feel right at home. • Our Peaceful End-Unit & "Yard" Space: We live in a quiet end unit of a beautiful new complex. Because we are right next to a gorgeous green space, it feels just like having our very own yard for quick, easy, and safe potty breaks! • A Safe Community with Friendly Neighbors: There are no random strangers around here. Our complex is a tight-knit community filled with friendly neighbors and sweet local dogs who love to pass by for happy tail wags, gentle hugs, and enthusiastic slobber kisses. • Tons of Entertainment & Play: We are fully stocked with a variety of fun toys for fetching, chewing, and mental stimulation. Playtime is a huge event in our house, and my 12-year-old and I love getting on the floor to engage with them. • Epic Walks Near DOMA, Atlas Park, & the River: We are incredibly spoiled by our location! We are just a few blocks from the river, DOMA, and the beautiful trails and water at Atlas Park. We tailor our walks to your dog's specific energy level—whether they want a slow, sniff-heavy stroll by the water or a brisk, energetic park adventure. • A Safe & Gentle Environment: With just myself and my child, our home is a peaceful, predictable environment. We emphasize gentle handling, respecting boundaries, and creating a stress-free "home away from home" experience.
“Eileen is wonderful! She took such great care of my Lola. I got pictures in the morning, action shots during the day & snuggled images in the evening. When I came to pick her up, she was at ease. I hope Eileen has room for Lola next time! Excellent experience !!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and absolutely adore animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to reptiles, rodents, and birds! I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. I work from home, and Ashley is home as well, so we’ll be caring for your pets together and making sure they get plenty of attention, even when I’m in meetings. Your pets will be treated like family in our care! 🐾❤️ I work from home, and Ashley is our resident stay-at-home pet mom! We’ll be caring for your pets together, with Ashley helping out during my daily meetings so your pets always have plenty of attention and companionship. We feed our own animals three times a day, so we’re used to keeping a consistent routine.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities! ❤️ We have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and our friendly dachshund is happy to have canine company. We’re home throughout the day, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. We never leave dogs outside unattended, and we’ll always do our best to make your pet feel safe.
“Georgia was the best! She took excellent care of my girls. She was quick to respond with any of my initial questions and was very easy to talk to and explain some of the quirks my girls can have. Great communication (and pics) of my girls the whole time I was away. My girls came home happy and tuckered out from playing with her pups, getting lots of snuggles, and running around in her big beautiful yard. I’m so lucky to have found her on short notice to care for my girls while I was away! Truly a gem! Thank you Georgia! I really appreciate you!”

“Laura and Robert were fantastic to work with and took great care of our pup! They had wonderful communication while we were away, giving timely updates throughout our pups stay.”
“Manny and Stefan were great! They spend lots of time with the dogs, letting them run around all day. Super flexible in accommodations, and plenty of chickens and cows for the dogs to observe. Will be booking with them again.”
“Simply amazing! We had an extremely last minute booking as we had to leave town unexpectedly (like only a few hours notice). Abigail happily took sawyer and i knew he would be so well cared for. She even was flexible when our trip got extended a bit (so sorry Abigail!!) Sent lots of pics and updates and i know Sawyer was so happy. 100000% book with abigail!”
“Riley had a wonderful time at Cheryl’s, she slept pretty much the rest of the day after we picked her up! I received many pictures throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend Cheryl for your boarding/day care needs.”
“This is the 3rd time Maui stayed with Wade. He had a blast as usual. In fact when we dropped him off he was so happy to see Wade that we felt a bit "sad" haha.. We are so glad to have found someone who cares so much about Maui and really connects with him!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Rathdrum can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rathdrum home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rathdrum.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rathdrum. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
You and your Rathdrum sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ID ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
