“Nat has been so wonderful with our dogs! Nat comes over for a midday break to let our two puppies out. They play and run around our yard when my husband and I can't come home during lunch. On-time (or communicates when they cannot be), and takes the most wonderful pictures!!”
“We found out last weekend that I would be having a c section this past Monday. Right away I messaged Alyssa to see if she would be available to do some drop ins on our two dogs and luckily she was! Alyssa is always so communicative, shares lots of pics, and shows our pups so much love. We will continue to have her watch our fur babes in the future for sure!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years! I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since I was in 4th grade. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and absolutely love them both! I also spent 3 years volunteering with a bully breed rescue, where I gained experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently attending graduate school in Medical Physics and enjoy spending my free time with animals. Whether your pup needs a fun walk or some extra exercise, or your cat needs some companionship and care while you’re away, I’m happy to give your pets the attention and love they deserve. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs and will always treat your pets like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! 🐾 I currently attend graduate school, which gives me a unique schedule with plenty of daytime and nighttime availability for pet care! I carefully plan my schedule around classes so that I can give each pet the attention they deserve. I’ll always be upfront about my availability and only accept bookings I know I can give my full attention to. 🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routines as much as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I’m mindful of keeping their environment clean and comfortable, and I’ll always leave your home just as I found it. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe and relaxed in their own space while you’re away. 🐾
“Tori was amazing! Our dogs are very high energy, and she spent time playing and giving them love. She was super communicative and we felt very comfortable leaving our pets with her. She even won over our cat! Highly recommend Tori!”
“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”
“Brittany was able to help us out and fill in for our regular sitter. She had no issue getting into our building, getting our pup walked and loved on, and we got cute pics of course. Would rebook again, thank you for helping us out!”
“Anna was wonderful in caring for our dog and cat! This was the longest we have been away from our animals and weren’t sure how they would handle it. They absolutely loved Anna, and she cared for them like they were her own. Her calm and caring demeanor helped them feel at ease. On our return, the house was just how we left it and the animals were happy, showing no signs of anxiety over us being gone. She stayed in contract and kept us informed on how they were doing. It helped put my mind at ease with being gone for so long. Anna was great, we will use her services again and highly recommend her!”
“Jazelina is a wonderful drop-in pet sitter. She took care of my doggo, Malibu and shy kitty, Willow at a last minute notice. I highly recommend her to anyone that’s in need of someone to take care of their fur babies. 10/10 Thanks for everything!”
“Brooks was able to bond with our dogs who are "iffy" about strangers. He was very attentive to their needs and was a great communicator during our time away. Not to mention that he is a 5⭐ pet photographer! We are already rebooking him for our next trip!”
“Wonderful experience with this sitter. Ashley showed up for my kitty every day and tackled all my requests. I would feel very comfortable asking her to sit for my fur baby again.”

Cats, kittens, guinea pigs, various small animals; bunnies, rats, mice, fish, you name it. I even ran my own hamster rescue, having 18 hamsters at once, years ago. I’ve volunteered at the animal shelter growing up because I just love dogs so much! I’ve been pet sitting for friends & neighbors for 5+ years now. I have had 5 dogs throughout my childhood, probably would’ve had 12 cats too, if my grandpa wasn’t allergic, safe to say i’m addicted to animal lovings! I currently have a Great Pyrenees & lab mix currently that are spoiled rotten. Need someone who understands your pets special needs- like medicine, potty breaks, and the dog who won’t eat their treat until you turn around and look away from them? I’m your gal! This is more than just a job for me, it’s dedication & passion! I can do whatever will meet your babies needs, short or long term! Housesitting experience aswell.

Your baby will be cared for around the clock, and there is always somebody home to watch the pups! I have a fully fenced in huge backyard with my two friendly dogs, Serenity & Halo, to keep yours company with outdoor supervisions and playing & exploring with my dogs. If needed, my dogs can be kept away and your dogs have their own private room, and or also kenneled when needed, we have a large kennel unless provided. I am also available for in house pet sitting aswell as walks, check-ins, etc. I have experience with in-house and just got done watching my neighbors 3 dogs for a month long pet & house sit.

Brittney was awesome again! This is the second time we have had her take care of our cats while on vacation. She makes sure on each visit to clean boxes, refill food/water bowls and give one of them medication. Brittney is very dependable and I would highly recommend her for your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Council Bluffs on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Council Bluffs. On Rover:

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 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.
