“Lauren and Ernest provided excellent care and love to our pets- we have a very temperamental cat who loves Lauren, an affectionate doggo who soaked up all the snuggles from Ernest and our lizard Rocky enjoyed a salad prepared by Lauren. The two of them have extensive pet experience and cared for our three pets like their own. Thank you!!”
“Renee was the best! She was so good with our cat that is very shy and she took great care of her! We will definitely ask Renee to care for our cat every time. I recommend her highly.”
About: I want to provide the best experience and care for your pets! Whether it’s walks around the neighborhood, playing at the park, cuddles, etc. At the moment I’m not able to have a pet of my own, and miss the true companionship and joy that caring for them brings. It is truly fulfilling. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing that your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy! I work Sunday through Thursday and am available for pet care after 2 PM on those days. I have more flexibility for longer house sitting stays from Thursday afternoon through Saturday evening. I’m happy to work with your schedule! Every furry companion requires special care, unique to them! No dog or cat is the same. I follow all instructions for your pets with great detail.
“Mandi followed all the directions I left for her and sent many pictures of her short 30 minute visit with my pups! It was a hot day, but she still made sure they got a low key outdoor break during her time with them.”
“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”
“Provides exceptional service to our pups. She sends us great pictures, descriptive updates, and offers to do more than what was initially requested. Our dogs love Heather. She treats them like they are her own, and we could not be more grateful!”
About: I’m a current dog mom to a 1 year old lab/black mouth curr and a 3 year old Yorky Chihuahua. Since I was a child i’ve always had a genuine love for all beings. I’ve worked with pets in the past when I was younger but as my daughter got older I adopted my first fur baby at 8 weeks who is now three years old and then adopted my second at 9 weeks old. My background working in the childcare, caregiving and Mental Health field has shaped my skills with being intentional during all moments while maintaining trust, patience, consistency and good communication. I believe in caring for all fur babies the same way I’d want mine to be loved and cared for during my most busiest days. With working part time I am looking for independent and intentional ways of expanding my skills in community service while utilizing my expertise as a dog parent to two. I hope to have to honor to be a service and community member to you and your family. I am currently working part time but I am available to flex my schedule Tailored to family needs. I am available for walks between weekends, mondays and fridays 11:30-3:00pm and I am currently available for in clients home care between 10:30am-330 pm mon-friday and weekends depending on client needs. I am very flexible I care for pets as if they are my own, whether if I’m in their home or if they’re in mine, I focus on safety exercise affection, clear communication, and paying attention to each pets unique personality as well as their needs. I also tend to use observation skills so that way I can identify changes in dogs behaviors to keep parents/owners updated. I enjoy making sure that all pets are safe, loved and comfortable no matter the location or time.
“It was awesome knowing that our pets were being cared for. We didn’t worry a bit. Andrhu immediately made us feel comfortable leaving. He went above and beyond. I strongly recommend Andru to everyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 6. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I get blocks of time off that allows me to be available 24 hours a day for pet care. I also have 4 daughters who love pets as well so they will be well loved. I have a fenced yard with one small dog and one dog friendly cat. I can easily crate if needed. I also have a large house to roam and kids who would love to cuddle them on our couch.
“Ivy was fantastic! I appreciated her patience, understanding, and consideration with Aspen. She was kind, thoughtful and careful while Aspen became comfortable with her. Scheduling and coordinating with Ivy was a breeze. She put in time and effort to make the schedule and manage everything through Rover. I'll be using Ivy in the future, without a doubt.”
About: Hi! I have had over 10 years of experience with my own fur babies. Both of my girls have crossed the rainbow bridge but we got to enjoy their golden years together, going for walks and soaking up the sun. As my dogs got older I became a pro in distributing oral medications and eye drops. Roxy (my Shih Tzu) also became blind and deaf so I have experience with those disabilities as well. I give exceptional belly rubs, & will give these babies compliments all day long. I do work full time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. Saturday - Monday my availability is pretty open. Tuesday - Friday I would be available after 5pm. My neighborhood has wonderful with walking trails that we could explore. I also live next door to my aunt who has a super friendly Corgi and is always looking for friends to play with. I do love to snuggle up with a pup on the couch or bed, but do have space for a crate if that would be more comfortable for them.
About: I've grown up with an array of animals and never stray from hard or dirty jobs. I am well versed in large and powerful dogs as they are all I have had growing up but that absolutely doesn't mean I won't take on the smaller ones. I have experience in home visits, walking, bathing, and ear cleaning to ensure your pet gets all the care they need! As of right now my schedule is wide open but eventually I will be needing to move to evening care. I will absolutely update and communicate when these needs change I want your pet to be the most comfortable they can be with me. If they need to be crated or need their own space I will be happy to oblige.

Keri was wonderful! She was very accommodating and communicative. She really gave us peace of mind leaving our dog under her care while away. She bonded with our dog Archie relatively quick and you could tell she has a way with animals. Would book her again in the future without hesitation. All around great service and experience!

Anna made drop-in visits to our cats while we were away for two weeks, and what a relief it was knowing they were well taken care of! Anna was great at communicating, responsive, and shared updates and photos regularly. She’s smart, friendly, responsible, and trustworthy.. everything we needed to feel okay about being away from our fur babies for that long. Thanks so much Anna!!

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 Algona 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 Algona. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
