“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!!”

“Caroline did awesome job again with our cats! With one of the cats being diabetic; Caroline had to drop in twice a day (am & pm) to feed and administer insulin. It’s obvious Caroline is a caring & conscientious care provider. I highly recommend!”

“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!”

About: I have experience with owning my own dog and also taking care of relatives/friends dogs when needed. My dog is a high energy GSP with separation anxiety. I understands the need for exercise and attention. It is me and my 6 year old GSP. I understand what it takes having a high energy breed and make sure she gets taken care of on the daily with playing ball, walks, and cuddles. I can easily add one more pup into the mix during our daily routines. I do not have a fenced in yard. I live next to a park where I run my dog almost daily. If we aren't doing that, we are going on walks around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, so I know how to take care of pets. I help take care of our current pets, a 17 year old dog and a cat with medicine. I’m a big animal lover (I have a degree in Animal Ecology) so I’ll be happy to sit for your pet! I usually work 2-6:30 around 4 times a week, sometimes working the full day (which I mark on my schedule). Outside of this timeframe I am available! I’m not able to keep pets at my house, unfortunately, but I am able to visit with your pet at your home and take care of them there.

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.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I believe pets are more than companions—they’re family! I cared for my own dog for over 10 years, so I know firsthand the responsibility and everyday care that goes into being a great pet parent. I’m caring, attentive and dependable, and I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality. I’m excited to be your pet’s adventure buddy for walks and playtime, ensuring they feel loved and safe while you’re away. My goal is to provide your pets with the same affection and patience I’d want someone to give my own. As a recent graduate pursuing a full-time career in the sports and design industry, I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule while I build my career. I’m currently completing contract and freelance work online, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the week. This means I have lots of time to dedicate to your pets, whether they need a morning walk, a midday check-in, an afternoon adventure or some extra companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your schedule, providing consistent and dependable care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I understand inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big deal. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’m attentive to your pet’s routines and personality, and I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure they are comfortable while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and your space. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, follow any house guidelines you may provide and ensure doors and gates are secure. Most importantly, I believe in clear communication to build trust with both pets and their people. You can feel confident knowing your furry family member is receiving loving and attentive care in a safe environment.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs but more recently have been watching friends and families dogs (including a young lab puppy). Tell me everything about them so I can make them feel more comfortable! No detail is too small. My weekdays and weekends are very flexible for walks and/or check-ins. Please see my schedule for booking—multiple visits per day is no problem for me. I cannot provide home boarding, but I can be flexible enough to spend as much time as you want with your fur baby at your place!

About: My mother runs my hometown's animal shelter; I built it with her from the ground up when I was eight. Ever since then I have continued to help when I visit home. I have worked with all personality types, breeds, and exceptional cases. I've done hands-on work with elderly pets to newborn puppies and kittens. In addition, I have house-sat for owners with many cats to one, a variety of dogs, and many with specific needs throughout the day. I myself have a dog and it's my top priority to give your pet everything it needs to be happy and healthy as if it were my own. I work weekdays from 9-5:30 pm but my calendar will be updated biweekly on weekends I’m available at this time. Feel free to reach out with any questions regarding scheduling! I always ask for a very detailed list of where the food and treats are kept, special medication, things they can and cannot have, etc. I also want to know their favorite toys, what their personality is like, do they like to play fetch, go on walks, or just to have some company indoors. If the animal has any health conditions I ask if I should be aware of anything other than medication when it comes to their health. If you pet is shy around strangers I ask to be shown the best way to approach them in your experience during the first meeting to ensure your pet feels safe.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and absolutely love being around animals! I grew up with a Lab, two Boxers, and a Morkie, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also pet sat for many coworkers, neighbors, friends, and family over the years. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and in your home. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime and attention, a quick potty break, or just a little company, I’m happy to help! I currently offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’ll also make sure your home is treated with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

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 on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per visit. 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 942 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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
