“Lisa was the best. She was consistent, loving and eager to hang with my dog! I work from home and this was my first time I had to leave him in the crate longer than usual. The pictures she sent brought me so much peace of mind while I was gone and I truly am so grateful!”
“Stephanie was amazing and our corgi loved her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior as well as very kind and affectionate toward our boy. She took photos every day to show what they did on her visits. Highly recommended.”
“Sarah did an outstanding job! We truly appreciated the thoughtful updates and adorable photos of our fur babies throughout our time away. 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 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 am a trustworthy, reliable, dog lover. I have been around animals my whole life and love to tend and make an animal love having to be away from their family vs in a kennel. I will treat your dog with all the love and walks their hearts can imagine. I’m currently working from home so I will have all day to make sure your animal is loved and taken care of and has plenty of potty breaks. I have a fenced yard and doggy door for your animal to run free when they would like. I am also able to crate your animal if needed.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I previously worked with Wag and have walked 100+ dogs, giving me experience with everything from energetic pups to shy or nervous dogs. I’ve also had my own dog, Chewy, for 7 years, and he’s truly my best friend and travel buddy. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, comfortable with different routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs and actively job searching, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I have my own dog, Chewy, who I’ve cared for for 7 years, and taking care of him is a big part of my daily routine. We typically walk about 3 miles a day, and I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their individual routine and their owner’s instructions. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and giving pets plenty of affection and companionship. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and tidy while making sure their pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well while they’re away.
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.

About: I have taken care of animals including dogs of all sizes as well as cats since I was young. I grew up with 7 dogs at one point and now we have a cat as well. I am a stay at home mother, so my availability is open often during the week and weekends and would love to help when I can :) I will treat your animals as well as I do my own. Making sure they had food, water, and had outside time frequently to use the bathroom and play if allowed.
“From when she came out and did our initial meeting with the animals, I knew she was going to be a great fit on taking care of the animals. Our cats don’t warm up to new people quickly & they were instantly friendly. She did daily check ins on them. Always super thorough, played with the dogs and gave the kitties treats. I think our animals are actually disappointed we did not come home bearing treats after having an awesome pet sitter all week. Haha. I highly recommend Alexandrea. She did great with our crew. We’ve got two dogs and two cats. Age ranges from 1 year to 13 years old. She even did some light cleaning so we didn’t have to come home to hair covered floors.”
About: Having grown up in a household filled with pets – 5 dogs, 3 cats, 3 hamsters, 2 birds, and a guinea pig – my love for animals has been a constant in my life. I'm that person who stops and asks, "Can I pet your dog?" every time a pup passes on the sidewalk. Thanks to a recent job layoff, I've got all the time in the world to give love and attention to fur babies in need. I'm friendly, loving, punctual, trustworthy and responsible. Pets are family to me, and I assure you that yours will feel safe and loved while you're away! I was recently laid off, so I've got all the time in the world to watch after your pets! I'm available for dog walks, dog/house sitting, cat/house sitting, and drop-ins. I’ll make sure your fur babies feel safe and at home by getting to know their environments, sticking to their routines, and giving them all the love and snuggles.
“Molly was great! We’ve got two senior kitties- one that needs twice daily medication- and Molly took good care of them while we were away. We were able to rest easy knowing they were in good hands.”
About: Not sure why my profile says that dogs must be spayed/neutered, I honestly don’t have a preference. I have consistently had pets since I was 6. Cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, and turtles. I have also taken care of friends’ pets on a few occasions. Animals warm up to me quickly and seem to be drawn to me. I also tend to leave homes a little bit cleaner than I found them and I have been told that I am the best overnight guest ever, by my mom. 😁 My schedule is very open as I am retired and currently don’t have pets. I am available for short or long term pet and home sitting in your home. I prefer to meet you and your pet(s) at your home before I commit to staying. I would like to be sure that there is a connection between you and me and between your pet(s) and me. I have been called a ”dog whisperer” and parents have been surprised at the instant connection that I make with their pets. ☺️ I have also done a lot of gigs with the TrustedHousesitters app too, in Ireland.
“Amanda did a great job feeding my pups while I was away! My dogs love her, and she enjoyed her time with them. She sent a Rover card and photos, which also provided the time she started and finished. I will definitely call on her again in the future. Thanks, Carol”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rathdrum is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,075 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rathdrum. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
