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!
“Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!”
“Jordana was great with our dog and with us. She asked good questions before the start of the booking that made everything go smoothly. Would definitely work with her again.”
“Excellent sitter. She went above and beyond for my baby. She followed my instructions on care and graciously added another day for me when I was stuck due to the snow storm. I am extremely grateful to her. She was very kind and gentle to my fur baby through her tantrums 😩😩😩. Recommend her. 10 stars.”
“My cat is usually shy and hates strangers, but Lisa took the time to get to know him during drop-in visits. By the end of the week, he was sitting in her lap getting plenty of cuddles! Lisa's Rover Cards were also well-detailed and had lots of pictures. Will be booking again!”
“Jessica is amazing. I had flight troubles and had to add trips. she covered for me without any problems and played with my pup even in sub freezing temps. If I have to go on a trip without my pup again I will be calling Jessica right up”
“Monica was a great sitter for me. This was my first time using the app and was a little worried leaving my pups with a stranger. One of mine can be kind of a handful as well lol. Monica took all those fears away by being very communicative, taking pictures and asking plenty of questions. I could tell that she really cared for how my dogs felt, not just letting them in and out of the house. Can’t wait to hire Monica again!”
“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”
“Great communicator and caregiver. Our dogs were well cared for and we were kept in the loop as the day unfolded. We appreciated her eye for detail & love for our elderly lab. We will request her again.”
“Our pup LOVES Kassy! She has been amazing with her even as she goes through her teething phase, follows our routine and shows up on time. Our cat also loves Kassy which is big bonus points because he doesn’t like anyone but us!”
“Emily makes days like this possible for me. I was on the run from 7:30’- 4:00 and needed drop in help so I didn’t have to run home. It takes a load off my shoulders to know Emily can step in!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Remy and spoiling him while we were away. Our pup is very timid and he did great with her. She also hauled in quite a few packages that arrived earlier than expected before they could get soaked with snow!”
“Heidi was so wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and while we were gone, our heater breaker flipped off and she quickly helped identify it and fix it. Our cat Pearl was well cared for while we were away and we would gladly book Heidi again!”
“Dawn is outstanding! We were nervous to let someone into our home to check on our two kitties each day during our two-week vacation. Dawn made the entire process easy and comforting from beginning to end. After the meet and great, we knew our kitties were in good hands. She provided detailed and personalized updates each day and sent photos. While our cats are typically apprehensive of strangers, Dawn took the time to develop a connection with both of them, adjusting food requirements, brushing and playing with them. She even watered the house plants for us. We never worried for a minute while away. We feel very fortunate to have found Dawn and will certainly recommend her to our family and friends, Thank you, Dawn!!”
“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”
“I cannot say enough INCREDIBLE things about Emily! We were gone for an extended amount of time and she was so sweet to our cat, Mowgli. She was timely and consistent in her drop ins and took some really awesome pictures of them playing and snuggling - be warmed right up to her from the moment he was around her. We will schedule with her again when we have another need to be out of town.”
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 :)
“Stacy took really good care of my cat, Lily while I was away! I always hate leaving my cat when I'm away, but it was good to know that someone was taking such good care of her! I got updates everyday and Stacy would stay even longer than I asked her to play with Lily and make sure Lily was happy =)”

Monica did a great job taking care of my 3 kitties while I was away for a week. This was only my second time using a pet sitter and I am always nervous to leave my babies. Monica sent updates and pictures every day so I was reassured they were alright. I’ve already requested another booking with her.
Sincerely amazing, took pictures of everything that I wouldve asked for without me even having to ask. Super sweet and considerate detailed notes with every visit. Cleaned up any messes which was so sweet. One of the few people on here that really knows how to care for cats and does so excellently. My cats loved her especially my scaredy cat who is afraid of everyone. I sincerely do not believe I’d book with anyone else after this amazing expirence.
We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Ashly was so kind & caring towards our elderly kitties while we were away. She stopped in twice a day to visit and give medications - they were definitely spoiled by the special attention! She let me know when one wasn’t acting normally and checked in an extra visit just to make sure all was well. Can’t wait to have her care for them again. 💕
Arielle was great! I felt so reassured that my cat was being well taken care of in my absence. She sent me daily update pics of my cat too. Found everything to be in order when I came back and she also helped fix my litter robot when it went offline unexpectedly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Clive on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,140 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Clive. 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 Clive 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 Clive. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
