“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!”
“Mandi was amazing!!! Mandi watched our sweet 10-year-old Maine Coon mix boy, Poseidon. Mandi was responsive, attentive, and our boy LOVED every visit!!! We also got the cutest updates and best photos too!!! We will definitely be booking with Mandi again and truly couldn’t be more grateful for all the love and attention Mandi gave our boy during our absence!!!! Thank you so much, Mandi!!!!!!”
“Glad to have a rover like Rose. She sent pictures and updates daily on how each drop in visit with my cats went and also emptied the litter boxes and litter robot. I will definitely book her service again.”
“It has taken me awhile to have time to write a review but not because Renee was lacking in her petsitting! My rescue pup, Cedar, and I had not been apart more than a few hours since last October when she came to me from Turkey. I needed to make a trip to Chicago and of course Cedar is too big to fit under my seat on the plane! Very nervous leaving her, my house and the 10 year old kitty, Georgi for the week I was gone. Renee was great however and made it a much more relaxing visit with my daughter than it would have been otherwise. My house was just as I left it and maybe with a few less Cedar hairs! Cedar was happy and content and Georgi loved the extra attention! I was sent photos daily with updates. Renee was quick to ask questions and get issues resolved with these two fur babies. She also cared for Georgi when Cedar and I drove to Montana in the latter part of September. Renee is quick to respond to my inquiries and very kind to the pets. Definitely will call on her again!”
About: I focus on building trust first. I like to play, engage, and use simple training techniques to create a strong bond, which helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also attentive to different needs: Puppies: patience, basic training support, and structured routines Adult dogs: exercise, engagement, and consistency Senior dogs: gentle care, close monitoring, and comfort-focused attention. My approach is simple, keep your pet active, safe, and emotionally secure, while maintaining clear communication with you at all times. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and loving care in a safe and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“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.”
“Danielle was very attentive with my rabbit and provided excellent care. I was very pleased that she seemed respectful of my rabbit's territorial behaviors. She was reliable, thorough, and took the best pictures!”
About: I have experience with pets. I have been trained with basic canine through the international boarding and pet association. I have had my own pets and have trained them in general and basic pet knowledge. Teaching them to be caring and loving, and basic understanding of commands. Understanding the body language of the pet so that I know how to better care for them. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask questions upon meeting. I currently work part time at an animal shelter; I am mostly available any time of the week. I am pretty flexible and can work around your schedule and mine :) I come with great enthusiasm and is capable of appreciating and talking with your pet and having fun with them so that they feel loved
“Heather was absolutely fabulous. I was gone for two weeks and she took excellent care of my two indoor cats. She had to coax them out, but by the end of the two weeks she had won them over. She went above and beyond to make sure to pick up a computer that was dropped off and even vacuumed before I came home. Communication was great. I got pictures and updates every day. I will absolutely use her again when I travel. I highly recommend Heather to take care of your fur babies.❤️”
“I have a diabetic cat who's afraid of everyone and requires insulin injections 2x a day. I have not been able to find anyone willing to take on this challenging situation, until I found Cassie on Rover. I swear she can walk on water and is a cat whisperer. She took the time to come and watch me do a glucose test and insulin injection before the first trip I've been able to take in 7 yrs , knowing she would take good care of Punkin. I was gone for 8 days and she came twice a day and Punkin didn't hide from her like she does with everyone but me. I could not recommend her highly enough and will definitely be planning longer trips, using Cassie without worrying my cat would suffer. If you want a sweet, reliable and caring cat sitter, you want Cassie on Rover.”
“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.”
“Jessica was so great at putting me at ease with my first trip away after getting a puppy. She came on time every day, communicated so fast, and was flexible when my travel schedule changed last minute. It’s great to have a trusted resource when needed!”
“Meeting Lauren and Ernest beforehand eased my mind and convinced me my beloved kitties would be safe with them. I loved seeing the videos and pics each day as well. I came home to happy cats. Thank you both for your care!”
“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 been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life and although I don’t have any of my own, I have many years of experience taking care of pets of all energy levels. I follow directions well and can provide the appropriate amount of attention for pets with special needs and/or requirement as well. Currently I am a part-time college student and caregiver for my younger sibling, although this may seem time restricting this allows me to plan out my schedule and can be flexible whenever and wherever. I am a very neat and tidy person, so house upkeep is one of my number one priorities aside from taking care of your pets. On top of that, I have plenty of of experience dealing with dogs of all ages and can accommodate accordingly.

She did a wonderful job taking care of Lynn while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and very accommodating with Lynn’s needs and schedule. She even offered to stop by and let Lynn out when no visit was scheduled, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing Lynn was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!
1 week in to our drop-in service. Our dogs are not well socialized as we rarely have people over but due to a schedule change, we desperately needed somebody to drop in on the dogs and let them roam the yard mid-day. Sophia has been amazing. Patient to a fault, willing to let the dogs move at their own pace to build the relationship and has kept us updated each day on any progress. She is amazing and we could not be happier.
Trust! Abbey is everything I wanted to find!! I had some truly horrible experiences before. Now, I have found Abbey and she is kind, understanding, fun, patient, respectful, and follows all rules/requests! 10/10 truly amazing pet sitter unlike most on rover. She truly is what her profile says! She has brought me and my partner peace of mind knowing our baby is safe and enriched with her. Also, she brought in a package that arrived for me without even being asked! Very thoughtful. Thank you Abbey!
We could not have asked for a better sitter! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear our dogs felt completely at ease — and that comfort only grew. We came home to dogs that were relaxed which as a dog parent means everything to me. The photo updates showed the pups who were genuinely enjoying themselves, not just being "watched." It's obvious that Diana has a real gift for making dogs feel safe and loved. We'll absolutely be booking again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Algona on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,220 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Algona. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 92% 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.
