“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!”
“Destiny did a wonderful job looking after my Rudy. She was kind and attentive and adapted well to his temperament and minor shenanigans. Very responsible and provided excellent narratives in her daily reports along with great pictures so I was confident he was all right while I was away. Would highly recommend her!”
“Brooke was amazing! I can tell she truly loves animals and gave my cat Bandit the best care. She left my apartment way cleaner than I left it, and was communicative the whole time. I would definitely love to book with her again!”
“Meranda did an awesome job with my cat! She left thoughtful messages every day about how he was doing and what they did together. She gave him lots of attention and even indulged him speaking with her through buttons!”
About: I am comfortable with all dog breeds and temperaments, including high-energy breeds such as German Shepherds. I have had senior and medically complex dogs, and currently work in the medical field so I am comfortable with medical care. I enjoy training and playing with pups, and would be so excited to meet yours! I work full-time during the week, but can adjust my schedule to let pets out every 8 hours. I am happy to do walks before or after work, and can dedicate more time on the weekends. I am available for pet sitting any night. I will do everything I can to make your pet comfortable in the way that works for them - are they clingy? Need a little space and time to get comfortable? Treat motivated or praise motivated? I will always be respectful of your pet and your space and ask you what that means to you!
About: My house runs on cat hair and Alaskan Klee Kai energy — Annie, Mr. Darcy, and Benni keep me well-trained. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting. I'll follow your routine or adapt to your pet's needs. Adept at medication administration, including injections. You'll hear from me — photos, texts, video updates, FaceTime if you just need to see their face. I'm easy to reach and big on communication. My cancellation policy is as flexible as possible, because schedules change and I understand that. Available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. All breeds, all sizes, all personalities welcome. Your pet's in good hands — Benni can vouch. Pet care is a priority in my weekly routine, not an afterthought. I'm consistently available weekday afternoons and evenings, weekends, and overnights. When I'm with your pet, I'm actually present. My time is theirs; they're the point. Spending time with your pets is a privilege. Your home is your pet's comfort zone. I stick to what works for them — their space, their schedule, their quirks. I'm a careful observer, so if something seems off behaviorally or physically, I'll flag it rather than wait and see. I'm attentive to behavioral changes or anything that seems off, and I'm comfortable managing medications, including injections, so pets with medical needs are always welcome. The goal is simple: your pet feels safe, and so do you.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix named Maverick. I also volunteer with local animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As a medical student, I’m used to staying organized, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to routines and behavior. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog needs lots of exercise, extra patience, medication, or just a comfortable place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual needs. I’m currently a medical student, and much of my coursework can be completed from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. While my schedule varies slightly week to week, I’m generally available for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I make every effort to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I only board one guest dog at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Lab mix who enjoys other dogs when it’s a good fit. I always take introductions slowly and make sure both dogs are comfortable before allowing interactions. I’m happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any other instructions that help your pet feel at home.
“Anna is a professional, a great communicator and clearly knows what she’s doing. She has a great attitude, good judgment, and is someone you can trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Brittany was so amazing!! Truly went above and beyond at each visit and even took my buddy on an emergency trip to the vet after getting into some trouble without any hesitation. Brittany was the best sitter Cannoli has had thus far and I plan to consider her as my first choice for future trips.”
“Kirsten was able to drop in twice with a short notice for my two pups. She sent fun pictures and updates while she was checking on them. She was super quick to respond and we will definitely request her again!”
“Kristine was wonderful! My cats were very comfortable with her, my shy older girl let her give pets and did not hide the entire time. I appreciate her having availability over a holiday weekend so much! I will keep her in mind for future needs for sure!”
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and love caring for them through every stage. I trained my family’s mini Aussiedoodles, Millie and Mabel, and cared for my childhood dog, Tucker, as he aged and passed. I’m currently in a gap year while applying to Physician Assistant school and would love to care for your pet like my own! I’m available to walk dogs starting M-Th after 4, Friday at noon through most weekends, and can also do some weekday activities if arranged in advance! I’m happy to be flexible when possible! I keep dogs comfortable by following their normal routines, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and care, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed at home
About: I work remote and travel 90% of the year. I frequently visit and house sit in the following areas: Spartanburg, SC, Des Moines, IA or Iowa City, IA, Denver, CO & Bend, OR where I havr family and friends I visit. Along with raising 3 children, (1 in college still) I have had dogs, rabbits, fish, cats, lizards, birds & hermit crabs. The kids are gone now and my own pup passed away in 2016 at the age of 13, so I am looking to play with other people's pets in my free time. I am out traveling the country in my SUV working as a Digital nomad for a tech company. I love going for long walks and being outdoors, so this will allow me to get exercise with the company of your furry friend. No one likes to be alone, even our pets, so providing them companionionship and exercise while you are unavailable will provide me with great joy. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and providing the assistance you need. Have a wonderful day and thank you for checking out my profile! I work M-F, 8-5 EDT for a tech company, so I will be home all day with your fur babies. Evenings and weekends I enjoy hiking, kayaking, SUP & photography. I will stay in your home, days and nights, with your pets so they don't have to relocate anywhwre while you are away on vacation.
“Lily is very dependable & does a great job with my two dogs! It’s so helpful to have someone to let them out while I’m at work & they both look so happy in the pictures she sends.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coralville
We've had Destiny do drop in visits for our 3 cats twice now, and she's continued to go above and beyond! She provides detailed notes and 12-18 pictures during each of her visits which gives us piece of mind while we're away. We will 100% use her again in the future!
I am very very happy with my experience with Asha. I had a wonderful week long trip planned, but was worried about leaving my dogs at home. Not only did the photos with each drop in assure me that my dogs were doing great - Asha’s reports showed me that she understood my dogs and that they were in good hands. This is important because one of my dogs is very slow to trust people and has caused problems with other sitters (like refusing to come inside at all while I was gone). Asha provided great care and her updates helped me relax and enjoy my trip so much more.
Brittany was so amazing!! Truly went above and beyond at each visit and even took my buddy on an emergency trip to the vet after getting into some trouble without any hesitation. Brittany was the best sitter Cannoli has had thus far and I plan to consider her as my first choice for future trips.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Coralville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 577 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coralville. 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 Coralville 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 Coralville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
