“Very happy with how well our pup was cared for in our absence. Shachel was very accommodating and flexible with our needs and was responsive to our texts during our time away. We were so grateful to have found her and will definitely book again. Thank you!!”

“Arlene was wonderful. My dogs loved spending time with her and I had no concerns leaving them with her. She provided regular updates. She’s also a lovely person. I hope we can have her come visit with us again soon. Highly recommended!”

“Angelina was our first in-home dog sitter, and she was awesome. She met our pups in advance and got to know them a bit, and then stayed with them for 5 days. Each day she would send us pics and videos of the happy pups playing and cuddling. She communicated with us throughout our trip and put our minds at ease that our fur babies were in good hands. When we arrived home late, we found a perfectly neat house just as we had left it. Not a single dish in the sink, and she put her sheets and blankets from the guest bedroom in the laundry room hamper. She certainly didn’t need to do that, but it was a nice thoughtful touch that we appreciated. We were very happy with our experience with Angelina. The dogs were even more mellow and even tempered than usual when we walked through the door which is rare for them, which made us feel like they got lots of love and affection while we were gone. She definitely earned 5-Stars!”

“Livvi was wonderful! This is the first time we left our pups with someone other than family and Livvi was absolutely amazing. Sent us pictures and updates daily, our dogs are happy and had a great time. Highly recommend!! Thank you!”

“Laura is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our pups and cat while we were out of town. Kept us updated with pictures which I loved!! Will definitely book again. Highly recommend Laura!”

“Monica was booked for housesitting and watching my dog for three days. She did great and was very attentive with my dog Diego. I would definitely recommend her if you need a house sitter and somebody to watch your pets. She is very trustworthy. I will definitely be booking her again.”

“Christy did amazing job, my dog was cared for and loved while I was gone. I have camera's in my house and every time I checked in they were cuddling or he was getting attention. My house was left very clean and was exactly how i left it. I would highly recommend her and feel very comfortable using her again.”

“They do great work! Dog is happy, house is clean, and communication is good. This is our second time using them and hope to have a lasting relationship with them.”

“Jennifer is a compassionate attentive person who will put the care of your pet above all. Despite the challenges my dog presented she was never fearful or unwilling to stop working with her and celebrated the small successes along the way. Thank you Jennifer for your care.”

“Kat took amazing care of our fur babies and house! Our dogs instantly liked her and felt comfortable with her. Kat was very kind, respectful, had good communication, and you can tell she is an animal person! We will definitely use her again to dog sit!”

“Emilyanne was fantastic during her recent pet sit for my Great Dane, Daisy Mae, in my home. She was very thorough leading up to the stay to make sure she had all the information needed to take care of Daisy in the very best way possible. During her time, she made sure Daisy was cared for and received daily exercise as requested. When I got home, my house was cleaner than when I left. I would absolutely book Emilyanne to watch Daisy Mae in the future.”

“Rebecca was amazing with our 2 pups. Our older dog is high anxiety and she looked very comfortable and content being with Rebecca. Looking forward to using Rebecca again when the need arises!”

“Truly, cannot say enough nice things about Xenia! She took such great care of my “kids” while I was gone. I haven’t left them with a sitter for this long (6days) and was super stressed. I got pictures and updates every day and the house was sparkly upon my return. So many thanks to her!!!!”

About: As a passionate pet sitter, I prioritize your pet's happiness, safety, and comfort as if they were my own. I bring exceptional care and attention to detail, ensuring their unique needs are met—whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, administering medication, or providing plenty of playtime and affection. With my strong communication skills, you'll enjoy peace of mind with regular updates, including photos and detailed notes about your furry friend's day. I go above and beyond to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, so you can feel confident that they are in loving, capable hands. I currently work from home, which makes it easy to housesit and provide your pets with all the care they need. Because I work from my desk, getting to get up and take your dog for walks or just have a play with your cats is my favorite way to destress! When it comes to caring for pets in my clients' homes, safety, trust, and creating the right environment are paramount. Firstly, I prioritize understanding the specific needs and routines of each pet entrusted to my care. This ensures a seamless transition and minimizes any stress or anxiety they may experience while their owners are away. In terms of safety, I meticulously inspect the home environment to identify and mitigate any potential hazards. This includes securing doors and windows, removing toxic plants or substances, and ensuring that any potentially dangerous items are safely stored away. Trust is the foundation of my relationship with both the pets and their owners. I communicate openly and transparently, providing regular updates and being responsive to any concerns or special requests. I strive to build a bond of trust with each pet, taking the time to understand their unique personalities and preferences. Creating a comfortable and stimulating environment is essential for the well-being of the pets in my care. I maintain their regular feeding and exercise schedules, engage them in play and enrichment activities, and provide plenty of love and attention. Whether it's cuddle time on the couch or exploring the backyard together, I aim to make each pet feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home.
“Karla was fantastic, it was a long trip for us and I didn’t worry at all about the care she was giving as she kept me informed with photos and messages. She left my house spotless as well.”

“Marci definitely deserves 5 stars!! I always trust how my fur baby reacts to new people and from the first moment she walked through our door, Utah absolutely LOVED her! We could truly enjoy our vacation knowing he was going to receive tons of love while we were gone. Marci sent photos and video to us the entire time which we appreciated immensely! She even bought him new babies to help fill the void of us. I highly recommend Marci. We are so grateful that we crossed paths with her!”

About: Dogs have so much personality. Ive always enjoyed the enthusiasm they exhibit whenever I show up at their place of residence. It’s fun to toss a ball, frisbee, or whatever their toy of choice is. And taking them out for walks around their neighborhood is always a refreshing experience. They get their exercise and so do I. I’m self employed as a freelance landscaper and take on other odd jobs as needed so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do my best to adjust to the needs of the clients who have hired me in the past. I prefer coming to the clients place to care for their pets as it’s an environment that’s already familiar to the animals and I’m always preoccupied with the comfort of the pets I’m looking after. Plus they have the set routines they are used to and it’s far easier to implement a routine on familiar ground for the animals.

Rathdrum pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kaitlyn was amazing! This is the first time we used Rover and from the first initial contact and meet and greet, we immediately felt like Kaitlyn would do well with our pups. Our older dog gets quite a bit of anxiety when we leave which can turn into aggression sometimes, but Kaitlyn wasn’t afraid and was understanding/aware of how to handle the high stressed/anxious dog. She was comfortable giving anxiety meds as well. We will definitely be using Kaitlyn again and felt very relieved and comfortable having her watch our two dogs and house while we were away on vacation.
