“We had such a wonderful experience with Jackie over a long weekend. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond even taking the time to meet with us beforehand. While away, her communication was exceptional. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and clearly treated our cat with so much care and attention. It gave us total peace of mind. When we returned home, we were genuinely touched to find a sweet thank you card and a warm “welcome home” loaf of bread from her favorite bakery. That level of thoughtfulness is so rare and truly sets her apart. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is truly one of a kind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you and your pets like family book with Jackie.”

“This was my first time using Rover (or any service) rather than having a friend who was able to take care of Bader while I was out of town. Alex was super sweet when we met and immediately had a great interaction with my dog. He even wanted to follow her out the door when she came by to drop off the key. Traitor. She sent pictures and updates each day and let me know how he seemed to be doing, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely have her watch him again.”

“Olivia was great. My cat was in very good hands. I had to book last minute for a family emergency and she was willing to work with me in a short period of time. She kept me updated and was great about paying loving attention to my pet. Next time I leave town, I will definitely try to book her again.”

“This was our first time using Rover and came across Stephanie. We are sure glad we found her because she was great with our kitty. We were gone over the 4th of July and she was great with Maggie. Pictures and videos were provided and Stephanie gave great insight to how Maggie was doing. We had a great first experience with the app, through Stephanie! Thank you!”

“Dena is great! One of our dogs ended up on a couple medications due to a leg injury and Dena was more than happy to give them to her twice a day. She left detailed messages on how the dogs were doing after each visit. She also included some fun pictures of them. We could tell they were being well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you, Dena!”

It was comforting to know that Ranger and the cats were in such capable and caring hands. Your attention to their needs and well-being made a world of difference for us. Thank you so much for providing such excellent care while we were gone!”

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.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always considered my dogs part of the family. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their individual personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Boston Terrier, Daisy, was the love of my life. We were lucky enough to have 10 wonderful years together, and she taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of her, I understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a very important member of your family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with dogs. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, learn their routines and preferences, and make sure they receive the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone who will give them lots of attention while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I’m dependable and like to plan ahead, so I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to accommodate their individual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routines when needed. I know pets feel most comfortable when their normal routine stays consistent, so my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet! When caring for pets in their home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others need a little more space and patience. I never want a pet to feel rushed or uncomfortable, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and doing well. I’ll leave your home clean and tidy and make sure everything is just as I found it when I leave.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two wonderful dogs, Bitzer and Bueller—they bring so much joy to our lives! I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, snuggling, and making sure they are incredibly well taken care of. Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience caring for friends' dogs, cats, and birds. Why Choose Me: Highly Experienced: Lifelong pet owner who understands animal behavior and needs. Reliable & Punctual: I show up exactly when promised for walks and visits. Gentle & Loving: Your pet gets the exact same high standard of care, attention, and safety that Bitzer and Bueller get. I would love the opportunity to give your pets a fun, safe, and happy experience while you are away! I am very flexible with my time throughout the weekdays and weekends. I can walk your pets, play with them, check in on them, and dog sit them at my home if they are good with other dogs and children. I will send you updates and photos during each visit so that you will have peace of mind that they are being well taken care of and feel very loved! I have a gated backyard, two very friendly dogs that are good around all people, including children, and would be willing to watch them in my home if they’re good with dogs and kids. I could also crate them if you needed me to as well. I will follow your direction on what is best for your dog(s).

About: I absolutely love dogs and I am passionate about their care! I have over 40 years of experience working with animals, and dogs are my passion. I have always considered them as part of the family, and treat them that way. I no longer have a dog of my own, so your pet will be loved and cared for in a one on one home setting. Being a Rover sitter is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I work from home, so I am able to stick to the schedule you have set and that also means lots of play breaks together in our large fenced yard! I will send you daily updates and pictures to keep you posted. I personally know how difficult it is to leave your pet behind and not worry. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, loving, and engaging experience for all dogs, and allow you as a pet parent to vacation or be at work without any stress or concern about the well-being of your fur-baby. I have experience with administering medications, preparing specialty foods, and I am familiar with basic training techniques.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rathdrum. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
