“Highly recommend! I made a last minute booking that Kaylee and Nick accommodated. Very polite and sent me daily updates. Skaar was wiped out for 2 days after his visit! Will definitely book again. Thank you both!”
“Andrea was a pleasure to work with. She took great care of our pups. I look forward to working with her again and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies.”
About: I am new to Rover, but have several pets that I watch on a regular basis, including my niece and nephew (Cooper and Charlotte). My sister and brother in-law travel frequently, so I often have their two doodles and love to spoil them as my own. I also regularly watch pets for family and friends and volunteer at Cedar Rapids Animal Care & Control. I have experience with high-anxiety and high-energy dogs and can assist with any medication needs. Most of my experience is with dogs, but I love all animals and am happy to help with cats, reptiles, fish or any other exotics you might have- with the proper training and instruction :) Please reach out with any questions or if you’d like to schedule a meet and greet to make sure I’m a good fit. I currently work a full-time job from 7am-3:30pm, Monday-Friday. I work on the SE side of town and live on the SW side. I can offer care in your home or mine. Let’s chat about what works best and your specific pets needs. My work schedule is usually pretty flexible, so I may be able to let your pets out over my lunch break depending on needs, availability, and location. I have a fenced-in yard for your dog to run and play and also love to take dogs for walks! I can adjust to your pets specific needs and routine.
“If I could give a 10 star rating I would. Hatcher was very well taken care of. So much so that upon leaving it was obvious he was missing his new found friends. I can't say enough about how wonderful and stress free the experience was for both myself and my puppy. Great experience all around. Thank you so much.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Belle Plaine home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Belle Plaine.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Belle Plaine sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
