“Kayla is amazing. She was so kind to our needy hound dogs and even fed our chickens for us while we are away. She stayed in contact with us each day with pictures and even took her lunch breaks to be home to reassure our fur babies. We are very thankful for the care and love Kayla showed all of our animals while we were away. She is professional and reliable and we cannot wait to book with her again (once it is safe to travel).”

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.

“If 6/5 stars were an option I would give them to Alex. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Animals were well loved, exercised and captured when they escaped (🙄). Great communication. Completely reliable. We had flights delayed and date of our return kept changing. Alex kept changing her plans to accomodate us and assured us that no matter what she would make sure our pets would be cared for. That kind of responsibility is priceless. Our home was well cared for and spotless on our return. Will absolutely use again.”
About: I am an avid hiker, biker, jogger and dog park enthusiast. I'm always looking for new hikes, trails and dog park adventures for me and my 2 Dogs. I have a 12 yr old lady dog whom I take on her own special shorty turtle pace hike and I have a 3 yr old extremely well-trained dog that is amazing with all other dogs and animals and he joins me on all other adventures. I am looking to help others get their loved pups out and about and have some doggy time. I know the importance of exercise and socialization for our pups and sometimes life gets hectic. A tired doggy is a good doggy. Your pup will get socialization, exercise, training and love. I have a flexible schedule, so I am able to personalize pet/house/property sit with your schedule. My goal is to provide mindful, personalized care that keeps pets happy, active and comfortable so you can enjoy your day/travels with peace of mind. I provide in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits. This can include feeding, playtime, exercise, companionship. I'm dependable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and home.

I am currently helping my mother with Rover so my schedule is pretty flexible. When you book with either of us you will receive 3 adults giving your babies the upmost care and respect. I have a fenced 3 acre yard and 3 friendly dogs to keep your babies company. I have crates and means of separation if that is necessary. We treat our company like family, they are allowed on furniture and able to sleep with us unless told otherwise.
About: I have experience with larger breeds all the way to chihuahuas. I enjoy long walks, playing and training. Experience with puppies and seniors.

“Mary was so sweet and great with our Dane. She took good care of her. She cares about your animals and we trusted her with our baby. Will definitely go with her again!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: With 20 years of experience, I’ve cared for animals my whole life. I love exploring the outdoors and staying active with pets, but I’m also a comforting presence for those who prefer cozy companionship at home. From playful puppies to senior cats needing extra TLC, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs—just like I do for my own. As a teacher, my schedule is structured, allowing me time in the mornings and evenings to provide attentive care for pets. On weekends, I enjoy spending extra time outdoors, taking pets for walks, and giving them the exercise and attention they need. I balance my responsibilities by ensuring pets get plenty of playtime, love, and care, whether it’s during breaks or after school hours. In addition, from June to September, I am on summer break and have the utmost flexibility! In my home, pets are treated like family. With a securely fenced yard, they can play and exercise safely outdoors. I ensure they get daily walks, scheduled meals, and plenty of cuddle time indoors. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain their routines, provide stimulating play, and keep their space clean and comfortable—making sure your pet feels safe and loved whether in a familiar environment or my secure, pet-friendly home.

“Eva did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our husky and calico. She was very friendly, polite, and cordial in person at our meet and greet and was available via phone/text during our absence for progress updates. We returned to our pets in good nature and our home just like we left it. I would not hesitate to book Eva again for house sitting/pet care! Thank you very much.”
About: I lived on a small farm growing up and fell in love with animals. I took 4H when I was little putting rabbits in the fair. One thing to know about 4H Rabbits is at the Fair is that they are the tamest rabbit there, because of the time and love we give the rabbits. At the fair we got the opportunity to present the open class rabbits to the judges since we where train to handle them. I also worked with our family dog, (a collie at the time), on training him for 4H. Since them, in my teenage years, I bread and hand raise parkettes. I sold them to people once they where old enough to leave there moms. I know have two dogs I rescued, and a cat. I am always walking my dogs come rain, snow. Or sunshine. If you find yourself unable to walk your dogs because of work or weather, I am more then willing to walk them for you. Just give me a shout! I have three friendly dogs and a cat to keep your dogs, or cat company. I always leash the pets up before we go out for walks or whatever to keep them safe.
“Jessica stayed with our babies during the holiday and made sure they felt save and secure during the fireworks by snuggling with them in the bed. We came home to a clean home and happy girls!!”
About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life. We mainly have Angora goats, chickens, ducks, and guardian dogs. However, we’ve also had the occasional sheep, dairy goat, guinea hen and even a llama. In the house we have a Vizsla, four cats, and salt water fish. In the past I have also had a gecko and a hedgehog. I am available from 11am to 2pm and after 5pm. My weekend availability varies as I have tournaments most weekends, but I am usually available all day on Sundays. I also am available full time during holiday breaks. I do not offer care at my house because I don’t want to risk any problems with my pets, but I am happy to come to your house or take your pets for walks!

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!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
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.
