“Jamie was exceptional! Her communication was great. I can tell she really enjoys taking care of animals! She took great care of our dogs and was so kind! Always giving a daily report with pictures included! We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Kaylee was so great with my boys while I had to work the holiday rush. I’m so thankful for her willingness to last minute take care of my silly dogs. Will def be using her again.”
About: I’ve interacted with all types of animals and shadowed at veterinary clinics since I was a child. In the past few years, I’ve startedi helping pet sit for friends and family for periods ranging from a couple of days to a few weeks. I work 8:30-5 M-F, but have an hour lunch everyday. I have availability and reliable transportation before and after work hours as well. I make sure to follow owner preferences and safety precautions. This can mean making sure a dog stays away from other animals during walks, or making sure there is no trash around the house that the pet could easily get into.
“Kirsten was extremely helpful to help on a short notice. She was very responsive to reply to me. She relieved a lot of my anxieties with having a senior dog. I would trust Kirsten with my dog again!”
“Brittany was wonderful! Very responsive to messages, flexible with scheduling and able to help out without significant advance notice. My dog loved spending time with her and I trusted her to take great care of my pup. I got frequent updates and photos with every visit. I strongly recommend Brittany for all of your drop in and/or dog walking needs!”
“Kelsey continues to wind the hearts and paws of our two cats. She has been a godsend in watching the boys when we are away and ensuring that finicky Bebop eats a healthy meal each visit. Also getting Larry to warm up to her, which is no mean feat.”
“We have had Christa stay with our two beloved dogs for a couple hours at a time on multiple days and she has always been very reliable, conscientious, and responsive. We appreciate her and will continue to request her services :-). Thank you, Christa!”
About: I’ve owned a dog since I was 10 years old. I currently have 2 dogs living at home in New York. I also have experience in dog training at Art of Dog in Buffalo. I have worked with dogs as large as a great dane and as small as a chihuahua, as well as senior dogs and puppies. I’ve worked with crate trained dogs, dogs on an e-collar and prong collar. I am currently a graduate student taking only 3 classes a semester and plenty of time for dog (and cat!) sitting and walking. I have one class a day Monday - Thursday. Weekends are free. I would prefer to care for dogs in clients homes, but can take care of small dogs from my apartment if needed. I do have a yard that is not fenced. I live on a safe street and dogs will always be leashed outside. I do not have a crate, but can take clients dog crate for the stay. I have access to a car.
About: I’ve been taking care of and loving my own animals and my family’s animals since I was young and they’ve trusted me since I was a teenager to help take care of their animals and walk them when they are gone I take care of my own pets daily and make sure they get lots of enrichment. I love any and all animals and have always wanted to help other people take care of their animals when they need it I have a very friendly dog of my own but not a friendly cat so I will have to pet sit in your home for your pets safety and my cats safety. I make sure my animals are fed and taken care of properly and I’m not afraid to clean up messes when needed
“It was great to have Sydney care for our cat while we were out of town! She was professional and prompt with her communication, forward thinking, and showed true care for our cat. We enjoyed seeing the daily pictures she sent. Sydney was even willing to bring in a package that arrived at our house while we were out of town! We will definitely look to have Sydney care for our cat again the next time we go out of town!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have cared for dogs for friends over the years. While I don’t have formal training or certifications, I bring a lot of heart, patience, and playfulness to every pet I care for. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m all in. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and I’m here to provide that kind of care. I work for the Iowa City School District and have the whole summer off—so I’m looking for something fun to do, and what’s better than hanging out with animals? I’ve got plenty of free time and would love to spend it walking dogs, giving belly rubs, and making sure your pets are happy! I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved in their own environment. I stick closely to their usual routines, follow all instructions you provide, and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. I know how important trust is, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure your pet gets all the attention, play, and care they need while you’re away.
“I needed help giving allergy shots to my wiggly dog and am not able to do them myself. Luckily I found Christian through this site! His experience was priceless! He was responsive, kind, helpful, and took time to show me how I can make shot giving with my dog the best possible experience. He was quick and my dog liked him after and tried following him out the door! That never happened at the vet or when others helped! Very accommodating. I can’t thank him enough for his help!”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. I am available all times on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I am also available Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoon. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
About: I love meeting and hanging out with pets. I’ve always wanted a dog growing up but never got one. However, my sister has now gotten her own pup, and I’m the happiest aunt! Would be a lovely break during the day! Also, I prefer notice in advance, but sometimes my calendar has gaps and could possibly accept day of :) I can check their water and food. I can open/close shades, doors, etc. If they watch TV, I can make sure it’s playing or change it, etc. They can get play time!

Destiny is wonderful! She took great care of my kitty when I am out of town and made a good friend with him. I got updates and pictures every day, making me feel at ease. I am so glad I found such a nice cat lover in my community. Will definitely need her help regularly.
Amelia did such a great job! 10/10 would recommend her for all your pet sitting needs. I booked her with not much notice for an entire week, and she was extremely accommodating! My girls loved her and were clearly well looked after, her photos and updates were great, and she left my place spotless. I will absolutely be asking her to come back again! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Coralville is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 568 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coralville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
