“Andrew is great! I’ve booked him more than once now and always feel comfortable leaving my pets with him. He communicates well, sends regular updates, and does such a good job with all of them. One of my dogs can be a little more cautious with people, and he’s especially great with her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind while I’m away. I’ll definitely continue booking with him!”
“Bianca was wonderful with our two labs while we were on vacation. She was reliable, attentive and sent so many pictures. It was nice to know our dogs were so well taken care of while away. I would for sure use her in the future.”
“Michelle loved my pets as if they were her own. She was attentive and communicative with me while weekend. She has sweet and loving person. I would highly recommend.”
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
“Abby was fantastic with our dogs. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout her time with them, giving us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pets and took excellent care of them. She even went above and beyond by giving one of our dogs a bath. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Tia was great taking care of our pups! She was very communicative and sent lots of pics throughout the week! She got them out for two walks a day per our request and gave them lots of love! Will definitely use her again and would highly recommend!”
About: I have one adorable, high energy, dog at home that loves long walks and a good game of fetch. I’ve also pet sat for multiple family members with all different breeds. I’m currently working full-time so my evenings are open for walks, playtime, feedings, etc. Weekends are completely open for all of the above and overnight stays. I will treat all of your animals as I would my own, with lots of love and attention. I can guarantee your pets are safe with me, and will get all the care they need.
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.
About: I love taking care of pets. I have two of my own back home and I treat them like the cute spoiled little things they are! I have taken care of many of my neighbors and coworkers pets before. I completely understand how busy life can get, so when you need a little extra help making sure your pet is cared for, you can count on me! I am a current college student trying to earn my degree! I have a pretty consistent schedule during the week, however I still have a lot of free time. I am usually available everyday after 4pm during the weekdays. On the weekends my schedule is wide open for almost any time of the day! Like I said I have two of my own pets back home and I treat them like family. They are walked multiple times through the day and when the weather permits they play outside. When I’m taking care of a clients pet I make sure to care for them with love, but also just like their owner normally would as well.
“Took care of older cat and young cat who are still working things out. I felt so much better leaving them in Breanne's care. She is knowledgeable and attentive. And goes above and beyond.”
About: Having grown up around everything from hedgehogs to mastiffs and either helped or been responsible for their care, I have a lot of practice in many areas of pet caregiving. I have studied dog and cat behavior in particular, and though my specialty is with cats, I am very well-versed in dog communication as well. I also have experience medicating ill or disabled animals in a way that limits stress and maintains a healthy relationship. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I can shape my schedule to what's best for your pet. My ideal pairing is with night owls like myself, as I tend to sleep in and stay up late. If you're planning a date night, or if you work late and can't check on them, I can fill in those gaps. I believe that a safe and low-stress environment is best accomplished by knowing who I'm working with. If your pet is skittish around new people, I will move calmly and avoid eye contact or unprompted touch. If they want a playmate for when their people are away, I can be exciting and fun! If I need to do anything that may be stressful to your pet, such as bathing them, correcting behavior, or medicating them, I will take extra time to sit with them and let them hear my voice in a nonthreatening context, to bring the relationship back to something more trusting. I do not wear strong scents or talk loudly, and if play gets too out of hand, I know how to calmly but firmly redirect into more acceptable behaviors.
About: A Lifetime of Loving Animals 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I had lots of dogs of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them. For 7 years, I also worked on a farm caring for a variety of animals. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ Evenings & Weekends Filled With Pets 🐾 I currently work full-time as an Assistant Manager, so I’m looking to spend my evenings and weekends doing something I truly love—caring for animals! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to dedicate my free time to providing pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. After growing up with dogs and spending 7 years working on a farm with a variety of animals, caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’d love the opportunity to make your pet’s day a little happier while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, responsible hands. 🐶❤️ Caring for Pets in Their Happy Place 🐾 I currently work full-time as an Assistant Manager, and I’m looking to fill my evenings and weekends doing what I truly love—caring for animals! I’ll be providing care in your home, which means your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and stick to their normal routines while you’re away. My evenings and weekends allow me to dedicate quality time to walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and whatever else your pet needs. Having grown up with dogs and spent 7 years working on a farm with a variety of animals, I’m comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and needs. My goal is to give your pets the same love and attention I would give my own while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. 🐶❤️
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: With 12 years of dog training experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and behaviors. I specialize in obedience training for all breeds, and I’m particularly experienced in training pointing dogs for upland bird hunting, as well as training dogs in various other hunting disciplines. In addition to field training, I have worked with protection dogs and understand the skills needed to develop focus, discipline, and responsiveness. I offer dog sitting at my home, dog walking, and custom training sessions tailored to your dog’s individual needs — including behavioral challenges and medical considerations. My property features a fenced yard with connected kennel run that’s safely separated by a privacy fence, plus 75 acres of diverse habitat ideal for training, hunting dog conditioning, and exercise. I’m well-versed in caring for puppies to senior dogs, and I provide patient, reliable, and expert care that helps every dog thrive. I am available any day, any time, for your needs. I offer walking any day and any length. I provide training at both my property or can come to your house. I can also stop over to let your dog out for a quick break. I am available and flexible to best tailor care to you and your dog’s needs. My property features a fenced yard connected directly to my home, in addition to a kennel run that is connected to the yard but safely separated by a gate and privacy fence. If I am sitting your dog in my home, I have a variety of dog crates and arrangements available within my home to meet your dogs needs. I have my own dogs and can have your dog interact as much or as little (or not at all) with my pack as you’d like to meet your dog’s unique needs. All dogs will be handled with a leash if not in the yard unless we have agreed to specialized training arrangements. I offer training at my property or can come to your home. I also offer dog walking. If you have questions about my services or safety protocols, please inquire.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Davenport
Taeden is amazing =0} She accepted a last minute booking to sit with Mack for an evening and then an overnight the next night. Mack had surgery 5 days prior, so needed extra watch and attention. Taeden was great with him! Very attentive, caring, and sent updates with photos. She's sweet, flexible, caring, and trustworthy =0}
Andrew was great! We are always nervous when leaving our pups with someone new for an extended time. We have 3 dogs, one that is VERY energetic and active. Andrew seemed like he genuinely cared about the care he was providing for our pups. He communicated great and sent pictures throughout the stay. We will absolutely rebook and definitely would recommend booking with him!
Emerson was INCREDIBLE. This was our first time having someone watch our animals and our home so we were of course nervous but Emerson made sure to put us at a peace of mind before our trip and all throughout. She sent tons of updates and pictures of our fur babies throughout our time away from home and was extremely responsive. We are so happy with finding her and having her take care of our animals. We can’t wait to reach out again so she can come back and visit our babies!
Amanda is the best. Last minute out of town trip, I text and she never even hesitated. She watched all of our pets, took them for walks, played with them! Happy home when we returned! So nice to have such a kind caring person watching everything at home so you don't have to worry! 💞
I seriously cannot say enough good things about Megan! I was SO nervous about leaving my dogs, especially because they’re big girls and I’m very particular about who I trust with them. Megan completely eased my mind. She sent me pictures and updates EVERY single day, and seeing my girls happy and comfortable made such a huge difference. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were safe and being cared for by someone who genuinely cared about them. Megan was patient, dependable, and amazing with my girls. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs confirmed that I made the right choice. I will absolutely be using her again. If you’re nervous about trusting someone with your dogs, Megan is the person you want! 🐾❤️

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 Davenport 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 Davenport 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 Davenport 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.
