“Kara did an excellent job caring for our dog and took care of him as if he was her own dog. She was willing and able to keep his general daily routine which kept him comfortable, happy and healthy. She was attentive to his needs and sent regular updates with photos. Kara is a wonderful and loving sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“This was Kimber’s first stay with a Rover (or anyone other than my parents) and I was so nervous about leaving her because, but Ashley sent me so many great updates and photos and worked really hard to get Kimber to be comfortable! Kimber was so well loved while she was there I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her there again!”
“Sherin was really friendly with both me and my dog. Communication was great, and I loved getting the photos and videos of her while I was busy. It seemed like my dog had a great time and was really well cared for—I’d definitely recommend Sherin! Thanks so much for caring for my dog!!!”
“Our dog Benji stayed with Wendy for 8 days while we were away and I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs. She is super responsive, organized, and professional. Her kennel facilities are clean and well kept. She clearly loves animals and took great care of our dog. Wendy is super easy to work with and willing to go above and beyond when needed. I would not hesitate to rebook with her in the future!”
“Erika was great communicating with us before booking and answering questions. I’m sure my puppy had a great time with her and her dogs. Erika sent pictures while my puppy was at her house and contacted me with questions. We will definitely use her services again when visiting Post Falls, ID.”
“Our dog Sam had an amazing experience staying with Isabelle and Fred. It was short notice, and they made it an amazing experience throughout. They took such good care of him, even made him Christmas dog treats! Highly recommend”
“She was so great. Our dog stayed for 2 nights, she was very flexible with our needs. He had such a blast! She updated us with pictures multiple times during his stay to show us how happy he was. If we come back through the area again in the future we will be coming back for sure.”
“I am very happy with my experience! My dog stayed 2 nights with Heather, where I received many pictures and updates on how things were going. All was positive and seemed like a great time! Would book again!”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful to book with. She got us in last minute, was very responsive, and gave lots of updates with pictures. She even met us closer for drop off, as she was in the area.Our dogs were in good hands. 10/10 recommend!”
“Leaha was so accommodating helping me out with a roadtrip that started across the country. Leaha and her family loved on my sweet Presley like she was a precious part of her family. Leaha was very prompt and informative in all her communication. If we’re in Coeur d Alene again we will reach out to Leaha to care for our sweet girl.”
“Shaunett was outstanding. She took great care of my two dogs with lots of love and affection. She sent frequent updates to let me know my dogs were doing great. I highly recommend her.”
“Kelly (and her family) did a fantastic job with my pup Henley! There’s a wonderful large grassy fenced yard for zoomies. It was so reassuring to receive regular updates with photos as it was our first stay and I was out of the country for 10 days. Booked Kelly immediately for our next stay when I returned!”
About: I’ve had 2 shihtzus since they were 8 weeks old. Have lost both within the last 2 years at ages 15 and 17. Me and hubby enjoyed them and we miss them terribly. I love strolls around the block and playtime. Serious lap time and undivided attention is awaiting your special fur baby, as I am retired and at home full time. Each year I go to Utah to dog sit for my middle son for 2 weeks while they vacation. They’ve had a Rottweiler, Berniedoodle and Yorkies. The big guys loved TAKING ME on daily walks around their local park. I always took my 2 shihtzus swimming every time we went boating. Perfect day in my opinion!!! I am retired and available most of the time. Short trips to the grocery store or other errands are basically the only time I leave. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room inside and outside. Special diets or medications are not a problem. I liked to wash my dogs faces after mealtimes. They can sleep in my bed, or not. Your preference.
“They accepted my booking on short notice and were very responsive when I had questions. Crystal sent photos and updates. I would definitely have them watch our dog again.”
“Hannah took such great care of my best friend! She was very responsive and very friendly! She had plenty of space in the back yard for my dog to run around and sent photos of him playing. Top notch dog sitter!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rathdrum on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 407 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rathdrum. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Rathdrum sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Rathdrum landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
