“Regina took great care of my senior dog. Being a senior, he requires more care and patience. It was a relief to meet Regina and to feel comfortable that Chester would get the attention that he needs. I also was comfortable having her stay at my home. I will engage her services again when we travel.”
“Breana stayed for a week with our dog. She sent pictures on a regular basis and checked in. When we got home our dog was happy, healthy and calm. Breana had stripped her bed and started laundry with towels and sheets. Highly recommend Breana. She takes her pet sitting responsibilities serious and our dog loved her. I would have her back in a heart beat.”

I understand the importance of trust and care, and I’m here to ensure your furry friends get the attention, playtime, and care they deserve while you’re away. Let me provide your pets with a loving and reliable experience! I am currently a kindergarten teacher with summers off, and I’m available to help with dog and cat sitting! During the school year, I’m free anytime after 4:00 PM. I’m flexible and can stay in your home if needed, or I can come by during lunch hours to take care of potty breaks. Familiar Environment: I ensure your pet stays in their comfortable home environment, reducing stress while you’re away. I follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, playtime, and care. Routine Maintenance: I can help with daily tasks like feeding, administering medication (if needed), and ensuring your pet gets their exercise and playtime. Potty Breaks: I’m happy to stop by during lunch hours for quick potty breaks, walks, or just some companionship.

“Alex was great. We have cameras that showed she played outside with the dogs a lot. She also sent pictures of the dogs. They looked very happy to spend time with her The house was neat and clean. She also watered my pots and hanging baskets. Which must of taken a bit of time because it was really hot while we were gone. We would definitely use her again and recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m a college student based in Dover, also serving the Sandpoint area. I’ve grown up around dogs and have had my own for several years, so I’m very familiar with daily care like walks, feeding, and maintaining routine. Having cared for my own very energetic dog, I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m calm and patient with dogs and take time to make sure they feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors — hiking, running, and staying active — so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks or play outside. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasional house sitting. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan my day around bookings. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m typically active during the day and enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks and visits fit in naturally. I treat every client’s home with respect and follow all care instructions closely. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while I’m with them. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates of your pet.
“Lily did a great job with our 3 pups. We had her house sit as well and the house was exactly as we left it when we got home. She sent pics and responded to any texts right away. Will use again for sure.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and ages. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m committed to providing personalized care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student on summer break with a completely flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the week. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.
“Abby was amazing!! We contacted her last minute to dog and house sit over Labor Day weekend and she was able to accommodate. From the meet and greet we knew she was the right person to care for our dogs and our home. Great communication during our trip, and lots of pictures and cute videos of the dogs. They absolutely loved her!! I can’t say enough about Abby’s kind and caring nature. She’ll be our “go to” sitter in the future!!”

“Grace was wonderful! Took great care of our two beloved mutts, got them lots of exercise, and was really attentive and communicative. Shared updates and photos, which is always appreciated 💫”
About: I’ve cared for seniors and disabled humans. All my pets have been rescues including dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits. Current work is with purebreds (not exclusively) and I’m training in scent tracking with 2 of them. My kids are grown and gone, I’m single and work from home, anywhere I have wifi. I walk pets early in the morning, and spend 90 minutes at the gym which is potentially the longest your pet would be without supervision and care. I require specific details about your pets routine, character and potential Veterinary needs and care, plus communication while you are away at your discretion. Owner preferences for change of habits requested (do they sleep with you? Treat/reward/training system? How are they in the car?).
“Rachel was friendly and communicative, and she took wonderful care of our dog, bird, and house. She sent detailed updates, and it was obvious to me that our pup enjoyed having her around and was really bonding with her. In addition to that, the house was as clean as we left it, maybe even cleaner, which I really appreciate. I will definitely turn to her again in the future when I need another sitter.”
About: I have experience with larger breeds all the way to chihuahuas. I enjoy long walks, playing and training. Experience with puppies and seniors. I have no issues with potty training or house sitting. I work part time and have plenty of availability for walking, playing or sitting any day of the week! I am open to early mornings as well as multiple times a week or consistent scheduling. I adjust according to owners systems and ways of training. I respect the owners trainings and the needs of your pet! I respect others personal property and home and will treat it like it were my own as well as your pets!
“Living in a sparsely populated area a bit off the beaten path, we were skeptical of being able to find a local pet sitter willing to stay at our home. We were thrilled to find Mickaelin and so fortunate that she happened to be available on our dates of need. She was very professional and took wonderful care of our three cats and our home while we were away. During an already overwhelming situation, with the need to be far from home for several weeks due to a serious health issue, leaving our kitties and ensuring their care was our biggest stressor. Mickaelin literally lifted that weight from our shoulders, and we were so grateful to have found her, and so were our fur babies; they loved her - even our shy girl warmed right up to her! We would highly recommend Mickaelin.”
“Hannah is amazing! She spent a month at our house taking care of our two dogs and cat and she went above and beyond. She not only is now best friends with our pets, but she also cleaned our house and bought us flowers and homecoming gifts! Also, she sent us constant updates and photos of our animals while we were gone. We will be hiring her every time we go on vacation from now on! We 100% recommend her!”

We are so grateful to have found Abby! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone, and she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative—sending texts, pictures, and videos throughout the stay—which meant the world to us. It’s clear that she is genuine and truly cares for animals. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and so well-loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Abby! Thank you so much, Abby!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sandpoint on Rover is $63.83 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 41 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sandpoint. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sandpoint walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sandpoint maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sandpoint choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
