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!
“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.”
About: I have a lot of animal experience over the years from having and owning my own pets, and caring for friends and families furbabies. I've helped foster some kittens and cared for animals that are unwell that need close attention. I'm looking to help and be more involved in animal care, as they mean so much to me. Once I start caring for your animal, they're apart of my family too ❤️ My schedule is relatively flexible. I can care and watch for them anytime from 8am-5pm on the dates I have available, I'm willing to do night care but I prefer during the day. Overnight stays are something to be discussed, as each situation is unique. My pets are very spoiled. The ones I live with now were my partners before coming into the relationship, but they quickly stole my heart. Khloe (Akita dog) loves her cheese, butter and chicken, she free roams our yard in colona, and goes on multiple car rides and adventures. I walk her at least twice a week, but she's older and has difficulty keeping up. Kourtney (tabby cat) loves to get pets when it's on her terms, has an rbf, and speaks her mind. She's not mean, doesn't attack others or hiss at people, but she's stands further away to observe more than participate. These two absolutely love each other, and cuddle all the time. Any time I watch my friends animals I really stick to the schedule or plan that's given to me. Even all the quirky things that they need to feel comfortable while you guys are away. The animals feeling comfort, safety, and love is always the number 1 priority.
“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.”
About: I provide personalized dog boarding and in-home pet sitting. Whether your dog(s) stays with me or in their own home, they’ll receive one-on-one attention, love, and the comforts of home. If I’m not already booked, I’m available! I am chronically ill so this is my job and I do it as often as I can. I am here to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect for yard play and/or walks.
“Jonna was amazing! She took such good care of our dog, cat, and house for the 9 days we were on vacation. We definitely felt confident that our babies were cared for and loved while we were away. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: Neighborhood pet sitter in Bettendorf, IA. Experience with dogs and cats, young and old, and varying breeds. Able to give medication & other accommodations Also experienced cat owner / sitter. Have worked with some fish and other small animals. I work full time 8-4:30 with an hour lunch break. Happy to stop by during that time as well as before and after work. Weekend availability varies, but I’m relatively open. I usually stay in-home, but I have had dogs stay with me. I will let the owners tell me the dog’s routine, and I adjust accordingly. Dogs with higher energy have different needs than elderly dogs, so I try to be sensitive to that. Potty breaks and walks are usually slated into my plan of care, but always open to hear special requests.
About: I have had multiple dogs ranging from black labs to Saint Bernards! I have done dog walking here and there for over ten years. I am also a mom to an almost two year old (human) and I am very responsible. I’m currently not working and I am a student. Due to scheduling with my child’s other parent I am available every other weekend and Tuesday-Wed. Besides time with my child’s and class, I am free to care for your pet! I am very responsible with animals and professional in other peoples homes. I have house sat, cared for pets, and babysat without any issues within the home. I am happy to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet in your home.
About: I always grew up with cats but as I got older, have constantly been around dogs of all sizes as well. I currently do own one dog in our home too. I’m currently working part time and get to pick my own hours so I am very flexible! I can do some last minute pet care if the need should arise. I would be able to care for your pet in your own home. I can easily follow direction to make sure your pet is safe and comfy in their own home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coal Valley
Addison watched our cat Maxwell for 10 days, and she did a great job! She stayed in touch with us during the trip sending updates and pictures of Maxwell.We really appreciated that! She put in alot of effort trying to make him feel comfortable, and connecting with him. I can definitely recommend her as a pet sitter, and would book her again in a heartbeat to watch our cat.
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!

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 Coal Valley 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 Coal Valley 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.
Tip: 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 Coal Valley 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
