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.
“Jackie went above and beyond my expectations. She had a flexible schedule and always spent a little extra time during her drop-in visits making sure my cat was taken care of. Would highly recommend her taking care of anyone’s animal. 10/10 stars”
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.
“Livvi always takes excellent care of my grumpy/sweet tripod kitty! She rarely comes out for other people but she loves Livvi (I'm trying not to be jealous). Livvi is professional, answers quickly, and I think may be a real live animal whisperer.”
“Angelina was very professional, and her personality is great. She cares about the animals and took great care of my cat and was very prompt. I will be calling her again to come take care of my kiddo.”
About: My name is Megan and I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I work in the veterinary field as an assistant in rooms and surgery. I am able to handle any size dog or cat. I am able to medicate, walk, drop in, feed, or just hangout with your pet. I do work full time. I am available to drop in before work and drop in after work. I can also do walks after work. I work 4 days a week. On my days off I can drop in 2-3 times a day or go for walks! Taking care of pets in your home I will also focus on the home itself. I will stick to your pets schedule for walks, feeding, and potty breaks. If watching your pet while you are away I also make sure to maintain your home meaning vacuuming or cleaning up any day to day messes.

“Shachel did a great job of taking care of my 3 cats while I was away! I really enjoyed getting the update notifications and pictures, and I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands while I was gone! Highly recommend Shachel!”
“I'm so glad that I found Rover to help me with my cat while I was on vacation. Sherin took good care of Toby and I was relieved to see that he was happy upon my return home..”
“We are so glad for your care Monica. It was our first Rover experience. It made the 3 day getaway so relaxing and would absolutely love to have Monica care for our 3 cats (and us) in the future. Fun summaries and selfie pics made it easy to relax. All 3 cats were their normal selves. Playful Toffee had a blast. Shy Carbon lap snuggled. Outdoor Argent also showed his snuggly self.”
“Christy was extremely kind and accommodating assisting me when my dog sitter was unable to make it due to an emergency. She has great communication, sent lots of wonderful updates and notified me of how my dogs were really doing! I would absolutely book again and appreciated her making time to check on my dogs last minute!”
About: I have had animals my whole life, including raising puppies through every stage of growth! Experienced with feeding, walks, playtime and affection, and making pets feel comfortable. I am currently a stay at home wife with plans to start a family in the near future! I am free all hours of the day :) I have a fenced in yard with a labradoodle and mini Australian shepherd keeping it busy! I am very attentive and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved.
About: I grew up around animals. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. I can provide a safe happy space for your pet to explore. I work two days a week. I have a lot of availability and flexibility the days I am not at work. I go to and leave work at 8am. I have one friendly 4 year old neutered male dog. He is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in bed with my husband and I. We bring our pet with us whenever possible on new adventures. We have a large fenced in back yard.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life since I grew up in a farm. Have taken care of all of our family pets, from bunnies to dogs. I have a big heart and just genuinely love all types of animals and love to take care of them. Currently only doing an internship and have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I absolutely love dogs and all types of animals. I work 7 hours daily and then I spend a lot of time just playing with my dog and just resting during the afternoon I would prefer to take care of the pet in my client's house, but this is open for discussion depending on the circumstances and the needs of the owners.
“Cailee did a great job taking care of my pup while I was out of town for work. She was even available for an additional day (at the last minute) due to flight delays on my part. Consider me a repeat customer.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rathdrum stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
