“Our dog and cat loved Aubri! It was so nice to leave for the weekend knowing they were so well taken care of! She sent us so many nice pictures and updates so we didn't have to worry at all! She went above and beyond to play with our dog and get his energy out. We will definitely be rebooking!!”
“We had an amazing experience! She took wonderful care of our guinea pigs and tropical frog while we were on vacation, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly reliable, friendly, and communicated with us throughout our trip, sending updates and pictures so we knew our pets were happy and well cared for. It was clear she genuinely cared about them, and we came home to healthy, happy pets. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little animals!”
“Alok did a great job in taking care of Zeus! He made sure he played with Zeus, sent pictures and videos and fed him on time. I was surprised how fast Zeus got used to him. Really happy with the services and would hire him again. Thanks Alok?”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life; owning 2, dog sitting occasionally for other friends and families, and even fostering a couple dogs. In all instances, I have been responsible for walking, feeding, bathing, and of course playing. Being outside and being active are a few of my favorite things that can be so much more enjoyable with a furry companion! I currently have a very available schedule, especially during the day during the week! I can make just about any schedule work with proper flexibility! My spacious apartment has a couple fenced in dog parks and many nearby trails and neighborhoods. I am more than happy to take your pup on a walk, run, or just valuable play time!
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was 5 years old. I was raised on a farm, and now live on one myself I am a teacher, and I will keep my availability open as my schedule allows. I will always make sure my schedule is updated. I make sure that your pet is my priority when scheduling any other events. I love being able to help you out as a fellow pet-owner. I want this to be as stress-free as possible! I am taking a break from house sitting at the moment but still available for other services.
About: I have had my own dogs for 3 years, I have 2 of my own as well as 2 with my parents. They are all Labrador retrievers. I currently work at a doggy daycare facility and have experience with administering meds, cleaning wounds, and all types of dog behavior and personality. I also would like to become a vet tech in the future. I currently work full time at a doggy daycare & boarding facility. I currently have a set schedule, so usually my days are the same. I would have time either before or after work depending on what you were looking for! I have 2 friendly dogs to keep your pup company if you would want that. If needed I do have a crate if that would be needed. I can also do check ins in your home so your pup can feel comfortable in their own space.
“Elliana was amazing! She took the time to come meet with us and our cat, Luci, before we went out of town. Every day during her drop by visits we got updates with photos! Definitely recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 10 years. Most of my experience comes from small to medium size dogs, but I’m also open to caring for dogs of any size. Additionally, I have experience with senior dogs that may take an extra amount of care/support (I.e., administering medicine, helping them get around, etc.). I’m currently between jobs, so I’m available whenever you need me! I’m happy to tailor my schedule (e.g., wake-up time and bedtime) to match your pets’ usual routines and what they’re most comfortable with. I do have two pets of my own, so I greatly appreciate advance notice for extended stays. This allows me to arrange care for my pets while I’m away and ensure they’re well taken care of, too! I will make sure to clean any messes or wash dishes while you are away. I like to keep the house clean while I pet sit.
About: I have been responsible for taking care of dogs of many different breeds and sizes. I have actively volunteered with All-Breed Rescue Vermont the past few years. My dog caretaking experience includes, feeding, bathing, dog sitting, walking, and playing. I don’t mind waking up early. In addition I am very active myself and love spending time outdoors. I would love to take care of your dog and make sure it has the best rover experience possible. I have always grown up surrounded by dogs and love to spend time with them. I love animals, and truly believe our furry friends are part of the family. I am eager and looking forward to providing you and your dog with any service needed. Thank you for the opportunity in advance.
About: Hi, I’m Grace! I have experience caring for pets of all temperaments, sizes, and ages, from fur 🐶 to scales 🦎 to feathers 🐓. I grew up around farm animals, have fostered bunnies, and taken care of senior pets and animals with special needs. My favorite part about pet sitting is getting to know your pet and their unique personality🤓 I would love to help provide stress-free care for your pets while you’re away with lots of photos and love like they are my own! ♥️ I’ve had two free-roam bunnies Honey and Bee cross the “rainbow bridge” and currently have an adventure cat named Toad and two of our rescue pups we are training — a Siberian Husky named Simon and a Blue Heeler mix Sage I am free to sit wherever, whenever! I work a full-time job, but I have a flexible schedule and am open to changes according to your needs :) I am a tidy and attentive sitter that will make sure to follow directions closely. My goal is to give the best care for your pet while you’re away!
“Great meet and greet with Yasmin. Definitely a dog lover and our trio of pooches loved getting to know her. Will definitely keep her at the top of our Rover list!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Adel
Aubri was absolutely fantastic! She was accommodating, personable, punctual, and wonderful with my Yorkie. From the very beginning, the communication was prior and thorough. She asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel completely confident that my pet was in great hands. Aubri’s reports were thorough and detailed, and she sent plenty of photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was so sweet to and spent quality time playing with my Yorkie and clearly treated her with genuine care and affection. She also kept the house tidy and made sure pet bowls and feeding areas were always clean. I would not hesitate to book Aubri again. I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Adel is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 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 932 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Adel. 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 Adel. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
