“Bridgette was amazing to work with! She exceeded our expectations, consistently staying for at least the 30 minute drop in or more and left great updates with multiple pictures for each drop in. She went above and beyond playing frisbee with Marley each visit and cuddles as well. She took great care of Marley and made it stress free being away! We’d highly recommend her and will book again!”
About: Over the past several years I have helped care for family and friend’s pets. I currently have 4 chaotic cats. I’ve always loved looking after our 4 legged friends! I am currently doing factory work so my schedule is a bit more limited. I am fully available three days of the week, and the other four I am available 3:30-10pm. I can walk dogs as needed, as well as provide the attention and play that they need. I am also able to ensure all the owners rules or guidelines are kept to standard.
“Maddy stopped in twice to check on our dog. Both times she arrived promptly, provided communication and pictures. Our dog loved having her visit and take time to cuddle and play. We will definitely book Maddy again and would recommend her.”
“Tee-Tee overall is an exceptional at her job. She took good care of our dogs while we were away. We trust her coming into our home for the first time and she did not disappoint. Tee-Tee was not on the scheduled time that we both agreed upon. However she did communicate with me each time she was late to perform her duties. Overall I will definitely use her again because we are pleased with her service. :-)”

About: I have lived with animals and taken care of them all of my life. As an adolescent, I had several dogs (sizes ranging from a chihuahua to a saint bernard mix) that I would frequently take on walks, clean up after, feed, play with, and overall care for. I also worked with a service dog trainer for about a year to train a dog I had in the past since she was three months old. I will be going to college in August, but until then I am completely free to watch, walk, or visit any furbabies at any time for as long as needed! (Starting May 25th, as I do not move to Cedar Falls until then) My cat is rather spoiled with hundreds of toys, constant access to food, and lots and lots of love. I understand the importance of socializing your animals to new people and other animals, and take it very seriously, hence why he is an absolute cuddlebug for everyone that meets him! I would make sure to give the same amount of care and attention to your pets. Spending as much time as they need to socialize, play, and relax, as every pet is different and has different needs!

About: I've had my dog and many others since I was a kid. My parents got me my dog Spot to teach me about responsibility and I have taken very good care of him and pay for him.

My work schedule is Tuesday to Friday and I work until 6-8pm. I'm available all day Saturday-Monday or night time on the other days if wanted.

About: I have been a dedicated dog lover and caregiver for as long as I can remember. My experience ranges from raising my own beloved Boxers in the past to regularly working with a wide variety of breeds and sizes. Because I used to own Boxers, I am very experienced with high-energy, medium-to-large dogs. However, I consistently work with dogs across the entire spectrum. This goes from larger breeds like English Mastiffs to small breeds like Terriers and Chihuahua mixes. Beyond my personal history with pets, I am a certified Humane Society volunteer. Whether your dog is high-energy or a just likes to chill, I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and reliable environment tailored to their specific needs. I am fully comfortable administering medications (with provided instructions) and am experienced with most harness types. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your pup is doing! My schedule is currently limited as I finish my senior year, but I will have much more flexibility starting in June! During the summer, I will be balancing pet care with some part-time babysitting and occasional family trips. I am very diligent about keeping my booking calendar up to date, so please check my specific availability for your dates. I love spending my free time making sure your pups get plenty of exercise and attention! I will take great care to follow your specific house rules and keep your pets comfortable in their own space. I make it a point to double-check that all doors and gates are locked and that your dog is always secure on their leash during outdoor time. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine while giving you peace of mind with regular photo updates and clear communication throughout the stay.
About: I have always loved pets. Throughout my entire life, I have had both cats and dogs, and recently my family adopted a gecko from my stepsister. Pets have always been the center of my day, and I always look forward to seeing my little fur-babies, and taking care of them. With this I have been referred to many family friends to extend the love and care I have for my babies onto their babies. I will always take care of your fur-babies as I would my own. I also am very good at giving pets medicine, as I have done it for a few years now. I am a full time college student at UNI, and I love taking care of animals. Being away at college has made me miss my own animals, so I fill that gap by getting to take care and love other animals, and give other families peace of mind while away. I am super open to any environments, whether it be a fenced in yard, or a yard where I will need to leash the pups/kitties up to take them out. I will listen and obey any instructions the client may give, whether it be for respecting the pets, or respecting the house.
“Maxie is great! She communicated well and let us know what was going on every visit. Very sweet and upbeat gal who lives animals. Our pups lived her. She is must have for your pets.:)”
About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. I have over three years of experience dog sitting, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I love getting my steps in every day, especially outside with my two dogs. I love going on walks whether it’s 20 minutes or 40. Since I have cared for animals my entire life it is easy for me to asses and adapt to any of your animals needs. I
About: My family has had dogs since I was born, and I took care of them since I was 12. I regularly fed, walked, played with, washed, and brushed our dogs. I have trained our two previous dogs with simple commands such as sit, stay, lay down, and come. I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for pets! Weekdays typically work better for me as I tend to travel on the weekends. I have always believed that every animal deserves all the love in the world, and I follow that in my every day life. I’m comfortable in almost any situation regarding animals, and have plenty of experience with crates and other measures to keep our furry friends from wreaking havoc within the house.

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 Dike 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.
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 Dike 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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Dike with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
