“Nejra was great at communicating with us and very patient with our cat with social anxiety, and even spent 45 minutes with her the Saturday before our trip and was also patient with my 4-year-old human child who chose that time to be a chaotic preschooler. She took lots of photos during our trip and provided a detailed Rover card after each drop-in. Our extroverted kitty absolutely adored her.”
“Morgan took great care of our two 70lb dogs. She provided pictures to show all of the fun they were having outside and all the pets they were getting. Morgan was always right on time which is so nice to not have to worry about while out of town.”
“Sarah has been sitting for our bulldog, Amelia, since August 2019. She takes her on daily walks and feeds her lunch. Sarah has been extremely reliable, communicates well and proactively checks in on upcoming schedule. Love the pics and updates she sends. Amelia loves her time with Sarah and we have piece of mind that she is being well cared for. Highly recommend Sarah!”
“Daniel does an amazing job with my two-year-old German Shepherd/Husky. He takes lots of photos, and I can always tell that Mabel is having a great time and being well taken care of”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs but more recently have been watching friends and families dogs (including a young lab puppy). Tell me everything about them so I can make them feel more comfortable! No detail is too small. My weekdays and weekends are very flexible for walks and/or check-ins. Please see my schedule for booking—multiple visits per day is no problem for me. I cannot provide home boarding, but I can be flexible enough to spend as much time as you want with your fur baby at your place!
“Grace was great with my boy Murphy! She was very communicative and made sure I was aware of anything I needed to be made aware of. Murphy loved the visits and I will definitely rebook her in the near future!”
“Brad was top notch, we’re so happy we found him! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home from vacation. Brad was punctual and we didn’t have to worry at all with our dogs in his hands. In fact, we immediately booked again with Brad and look forward to having him back. Thank you so much, Brad!”
“Jaden cared for our cats with drop-in visits while we were gone on a trip. She came to meet our two cats and learn their routines in advance, and captured pics each day when she visited. Thank you, Jaden!”
About: I’ve enjoyed having dogs for the past 35 years but can’t currently have them so the next best thing is taking care of yours! I would love to help you with your fur baby! I currently work weekdays but can walk dogs in the late afternoon and evening. I’m available weekends too. Willing to dog sit at your place evening and overnight as long as you don’t have cats. Although it’s true I like a funny cat video now and then and enjoy cute kitty photos I’m allergic to the real thing. I can care for your pets in your home and take them for walks. I will be respectful and considerate of your privacy and property.
“Kelly was amazing with our pups! I never once doubted if they were being loved and cared for as we would. She was flexible, quick with communication and trustworthy. Will definitely book again!”
About: We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had my own dog for 4 years. I love being around dogs and want to show yours as much love as I show my own. I work from home 2-3 days a week. I’m also available for overnight boarding depending on the night and weekends. Just ask if I’m available! I have a fenced in backyard. Your dog is welcome on beds and furniture. My house and property is very dog friendly for all types.
About: I've been around animals my whole life - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, geckos, fish, even as a care taker for great apes! I love animals whole-heartedly and focus my career around them. I've raised and trained puppies in the past and am now looking to get my animal fix by helping more pets in my spare time! I'm currently working full-time at a rehab facility for animals as a rehab technician, so I’m around dogs and cats all the time! I don’t work on the weekends, either! Working in the animal world my whole life, I aim to create a safe and enriching environment for any animal I take care of. I will make sure their routines stay as consistent as possible to allow them to feel most normal, and will add in extra enriching activities to make the experience as positive and rewarding as possible.
“Thank you for taking care of our babies!! You did a great job and a fantastic job keeping us up to date hiw Daisy and Kimo was doing!!! They were happy to see us back home. Daisy quickly came to the garage door when she heard us!! And yes you forgot the lunch bag. If you want you can still stop by and pick it up. The alligator Daisy had in the middle of the floor, we don’t recognize it. Where did it come from?”
About: I've taken care of three dogs of my own for the last 3. My oldest pup turned 10 this year. I love learning each pups love language to best take care of them. I'm available for drop ins at your home as well as short or long in home stays while you're aware to ensure your dogs are well taken care of. I look forward to caring for your pets like you would and keeping them safe, snuggled and well cared for while you're away. I will make sure they are loved and taken care of like I would want mine to be.
“Mackenzie helped us out when we needed her most - she is super responsive and did a great job watching and walking our little Rowan. He's been a very happy pup since getting a break at lunchtime! Thanks Mackenzie!”
About: I have well over 24 years caring for dogs. I believe a house isn't a home without a dog. We (me and my family) lost our dog, Teddy, about 11/2 years ago. It has been very hard living without him. I still look for him at the door whenever I come home. We are still heartbroken from his passing. Someday we hope to find the courage to love again. Until then we want to love on all the doggies that come to stay and play with us. When your dog is here he/she is part of our family. Please be willing to come by with your pup for a meet & greet before any reservations are made. Our main concern is that you are completely comfortable leaving your fur-baby with us. Here is a coupon for $20 off. Your Promo Code: TIFFAK87923 Your promo code is only for new Rover members you recruit through your profile link. Rules and restrictions apply—read our Terms of Service to learn more. I work for H&R Block during tax season, January thru April. I am home all day the rest of the year to care for your doggie. I care for your dog as if he/she were my own. We will go on walks to Greenbelt Park, Grays Lake, and all throughout our neighborhood. We can play fetch in our yard. Also, belly rubs are a must :)
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Clive is $18

Have really appreciated working with Megan. She’s been really great with my puppy and provides me with great details of their time together. I just really appreciate the communication. He’s so young and I worry about him but know he’s been in good hands with Megan!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Clive 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 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 .
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.

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.
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.
