“Bianca did wonderfully with our girls. She sent us update pictures twice a day and some videos of her playing with them. The girls were happy and well taken care when we returned. 10/10 Will Book Again”
About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am a full-time college student with a busy schedule, but most of the time, I am free after 2 pm from Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Tuesdays and Thursdays I can do at 10:00 AM. And weekends I am free. Currently not working at the moment so don't hesitate to reach out! 😀 I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
“Yeah, best sitter ever. No contest. Regular updates and pictures while we were gone. The dogs were calm and not stressed when we got home. As long as she's available, she's our choice.”
About: I'm looking forward to taking care of your furry family member while you are away! I have owned pets my whole life and I used to work at a vet clinic so I've taken care of all types of breeds. I can't wait to spend time with your pooch! I do work Monday through Friday 8:00-4:00 pm, however I am able to let pets out before and after work, and occasionally take an hour lunch if need be. I like to have a calm, relaxing environment for your pet. I follow the routine that is done daily in your home. Please let me know when feeding and medication time is, as well as anything else I can accommodate to make your pet feel as relaxed as they can be!
“Riley was amazing with our dog last week! She was incredibly attentive and communicative throughout the entire time, sending regular updates and photos. She even offered to stay with our pup during a big storm, even though it wasn’t required. That extra care and thoughtfulness meant so much to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Luke is a fantastic Rover. We had Luke sit for our 2 dogs recently, and not only was he great with our dogs, he was incredibly flexible and helpful. We actually had a family medical emergency happen while on vacation, and Luke helped out by extending his stay an extra 4 days. We highly recommend him for sitting.”
“We are so happy we found Amanda! This was our first time using her, and she went above and beyond caring for our dog while we were away. She sent lots of updates and cute pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was happy and well cared for. Amanda was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about our dog. We couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter.”
“This was our first time needing someone to house/pet sit. I was a bit nervous, but Andrew was confident at the meet and greet that everything would be just fine. He took wonderful care of our fur babies. He gave us updates. He sent us some wonderful pictures and a video of Lucy playing. He asked good questions. I was able to leave town for the first time in a while and enjoy myself knowing someone was going to be there. He did the expected chores morning and evening. He kept the house in great order. He had to do a little extra cleanup after one of the kitties had an accident. I would absolutely have Andrew stay and care for our cats again.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I used to love looking at animals and playing with them in the store. I wanted to own every pet I am open availability and local! I'm willing to drive a bit but that depends on weather! Easily able to do last minute if you need! Excited to care for your pets! I can easily crate if needed and feed/bathroom breaks/play time for as long or as short as needed. I am readily available to take care of your fur baby as if they're my own!
“Dina did an awesome job caring for my corgi's. One gave her a little trouble but she worked thru it very professionally and all ended well. I would highly recommend her if you want someone who will really give your pups great care. I hope to use Dina again in the future.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Tia as a pet sitter for my two dogs, Darrow and Ozzy, while I was away for 10 days. From the very beginning, Tia was incredibly professional and attentive. She provided daily pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see just how happy and well-cared for my dogs were during my absence. Tia went above and beyond in her care, taking the time to play with Darrow and Ozzy, ensuring they were not only fed, but also entertained and loved. It's clear she has a genuine affection for animals, and it showed in the way she interacted with them. When I returned home, both dogs were in excellent spirits, and it was obvious that they had formed a bond with her. I highly recommend Tia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Tia, for taking such great care of Darrow and Ozzy!”
“Abby was fantastic with our dogs. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout her time with them, giving us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pets and took excellent care of them. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our dogs a bath. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Angel was amazing! He took care of my babies for 2 complete days! Took them for more walks than I do, provided pictures throughout the day and was paying attention to their behavior which made him realize one was having an allergy reaction. Overall, I 100% recommend him and will be booking him next time.”
“Brooke is amazing! She stayed with our dog and cat while we were out of town, and took great care of them. She definitely has a way with animals- our dog warmed up to her immediately and she never does that with new people! I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Her communication was top notch and she took great care of our home, too. We will be hiring her again in the future. Very highly recommend her!”
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
“Two very large dogs intent on destroying our home (or so it seemed) and somehow Amanda kept order. We received daily communication and pictures and she cleaned up their destruction. We returned to a surprisingly clean house. Definitely rebooking her.”
“Cassandra was a great sitter for Peaches. She has experience with senior dogs and giving medication and sent pictures and updates to let us know how things were going. Upon our return, Peaches (and the house) were in great spirits and conditions.”
“Drew was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our three dogs while we were on vacation. From the moment we connected, he was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. He made sure our dogs were taken out regularly, kept them on their routine, and truly treated them like his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Drew stayed overnight each night, which meant the dogs were comfortable and our home was well cared for too. On top of that, he kept the house in excellent condition, honestly, we came back to everything just as we left it (if not better!). He was also very responsive and kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. It’s clear Drew genuinely cares about animals and goes above and beyond for the families he works with. We’re so grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone reliable, respectful, and truly great with pets, I highly recommend booking Drew, you won’t regret it!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Jenna went above and beyond caring for Max. She made sure he got his medications, gave him lots of cuddles and attention, and kept him busy with playing chase and squirrel. She even anticipated the storms and made sure he was comfortable and safe. She was a great communicator throughout our time away, and we came home to a house in great condition and flowers that were still happily alive! It was clear she cared not only for Max, but also for our home. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend Jenna!
Erin did an AMAZING job taking care of my two spoiled pups. She provided updates and photos regularly, so I could relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were being VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I would definitely recommend Erin to others, and I plan to use her again in the future. Thanks, Erin, for being so wonderful with Lily and Lola!
Amara did a wonderful job taking care of our dog (and house) while we were away. She sent updates and photos to let us know our dog was doing great! We had never had a dog sitter come to stay at our house previously, but all went very smoothly and we have only good things to say about Amara. We would book with her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bettendorf walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bettendorf maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bettendorf choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
