“Lisa was my very first Rover experience and she did not disappoint. Thank you for the great photos and the report card. It’s clear that they needed the walk and break. I will be using Lisa again without question. Thank you Lisa and Rover.”
“Becky is wonderful and a great communicator. Always prompt, she is reliable and terrific with my 2 dogs. I highly recommend her. That being said, I would certainly utilize her services 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.
“Stephanie was a saving grace for a last minute ask to come walk our pups so they weren’t cooped up all day during a long work shift. She is always very responsive and helpful, and our pups love her! Thanks again!”
About: Hi! I’m Kari, an animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a 5-month-old chocolate Labrador named Greta and two horses, and I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, fish, rats, cows, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and medication. I’m experienced with large breeds, high-energy dogs, shy or timid pets, and reactive dogs that need a calm, confident handler. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed feeding schedules, medication routines, training plans, and any other instructions that help keep your pet happy and comfortable. Before moving to North Idaho, I spent 13 years in law enforcement. That career taught me responsibility, attention to detail, clear communication, and how to stay calm under pressure—qualities I now bring to every pet I care for. I moved here for a slower pace of life, and caring for animals has been the perfect fit. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! My schedule is open and flexible to care for your furry family member! I am open to short notice bookings and update my calendar for availability regularly. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. Whether we’re going on walks, playing fetch, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. You can also count on regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, my friends trusted me to take care of their animals when they were going on trips. Recently I have started to train my own animals Currently I am looking for a job but pet care is in my everyday life, I have three dogs and two cats that I take care of I have a fenced-in yard that my dog love to play in, my cats are indoor-outdoor cats so they don’t go very far but I am able to take care of your fur baby whichever way you need me to
About: I’ve worked in a veterinary hospital for over five years. I’ve had the experience of working with dogs and cats with all different temperaments. I’ve also had the privilege of working with a large variety of species. Due to my prior experience, I also I am completely comfortable administering any medication‘s pets may need. I work full-time throughout the week from 8 AM to 6 PM. Around these times I’m able to watch/walk pets. If owners would like for me to stay at their residence, I can stay with the animal after these hours. I am completely available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I would be willing to continue any training that owners have began with their pet. This includes walking on leash, animals being crated, and mediated interactions between pet mates.
About: I discovered my love for animals when my mom rescued a Shiba Inu shortly after my dad died. Since then, I've made every effort to learn as much as I can about cats and dogs, including going to professional grooming school and I'm currently working on becoming a certified dog trainer. Most of my experience with cats has come from my sister and her roommate, but I love cats just as much as I love dogs I do have another part time job, but scheduling is flexible so I'll have plenty of time in the day to check on your buddy! I'm very conscious of their safety and always use a leash, always make sure fenced areas are secure, and that there's no toxic plants around them. My own have a history of bolting/running away, so these things have become 2nd nature for me.
“Ashley was great with out big boy Remy! We had Ashley for a week of walks while we went on a cruise since my MIL was not physically able to walk him. She was super responsive and kind and listened to our instructions for Remy. We really appreciated her attention to communication and her attitude towards our boy who is learning proper leash etiquette. It was so nice knowing he was having a good time and getting exercise and that Ashley was able to avoid his triggers on the walk to the best of her ability as well. Definitely would recommend!”
“Crystal took such great care of our puppy. Also..I had to make some last minute changes and Crystal was really helpful in assisting me with those. We hope to be able to schedule her again!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rathdrum. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Rathdrum.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rathdrum. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
