Maegan is the first person to lay eyes on my black cat, Pablo, which must mean she’s magic. So happy all the critters had someone lovely to check in on them, and big extra thanks for taking in my packages that showed up early!

Maddy stopped in twice to check on our dog. Both times she arrived promptly, provided communication and pictures. Our dog loved having her visit and take time to cuddle and play. We will definitely book Maddy again and would recommend her.

Lindsay did great with our doggy while we were away on vacation, keeping us updated on how she was doing and acting and taking photos of her during the in home visits. The photos appeared that she was well taken care of and I appreciated Lindsay’s communication. It’s clear that she cares a lot for animals. Would recommend and use her again!

About: Hi! I’m Patricia, and caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years. I’ve spent years volunteering with animal rescue organizations, fostering animals in need, and caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. Those experiences have taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable—even in new environments. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. Whether they love long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a familiar routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I also know that trusting someone with your pet can be stressful. That’s why communication is one of my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s unique needs and your home’s routines. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care and love that I’d want for my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! During the week, I work full-time, but spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to unwind! Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some quality cuddle time, caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to after work and on weekends. It doesn’t feel like a job—it feels like the best part of my day. My schedule allows me to provide dependable care while giving your pets the attention, love, and updates they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, or simply giving your pet the companionship they need while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine—keeping things clean, locking up securely, and making sure your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable. You’ll also receive regular updates with photos and messages, so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving loving, dependable care.

Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)

About: Graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree in biology with an emphasis in zoology! As of now I am working full time at Eurofins, but can't help but miss the animal interaction. Previously I worked as a Vet Assistant and also have prior pet sitting and dog walking experience. I have had very minor experience in training/ working with goats through my time in college. My passion is working with animals no matter what species! I also have experience with reptiles through my time as a reptile keeper intern at Rolling Hills Zoo in Salina, Kansas! I have two cats and two dogs of my own. I would love to get to know more about you and your fur baby!:) I work full time from 8-4/5 everyday. I will have plenty of time for pet care in the evening and I will alternate weeks of boarding care vs in home pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard for pups, although it is fenced I never leave pups unattended! In my house I have 2 cats that are very use to dogs and a 3 year old son. So dogs for boarding need to be cat and child friendly. I am able to follow any care plan you have and meet needs such as dietary instructions and medications that may be needed.

About: My whole life I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats. I’ve done some overnight house sitting with dogs within the last couple of years. Im comfortable with both older and younger animals. I personally have one cat of my own. I adore all types of animals. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to have the time to make sure the best care is given to your pets. I have always been a very vigilant pet owner. Having grown up with many different kinds of pets, I’m well aware each animal has their own needs. Whether that be a dog who has a ton of energy and needs a more engaging walk, or one who like to take a slower stroll. I’m ready for whatever needs your animal may have.

I have a wild, large dog myself but I also have been around cats. I also volunteer at the humane society so I have lots of exposure there too.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Cedar Falls

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Cedar Falls on Rover is $16.65 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 127 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cedar Falls. 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 Cedar Falls 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.

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 Cedar Falls 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Cedar Falls with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
