“Angelina was very prompt with her messaging. She was reliable as she showed up at the appropriate time and followed my pets care instructions exactly. I came home to find my furry friend properly cared for. I would use her again!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for many years, and some farm animals. I currently have two adult cats and one young dog. We live on 5.5 acres that are fenced-ish, but the yard is certainly not escape proof. My dog Scribble loves to play, especially with new dog buddies. He never gets tired. We have loop trails through meadow and woods all year round on the homestead but will also explore all of Dodge Center with pups on leash walks. I will also try obstacle courses and other games depending on what your dog is up for. I have yet to meet a cat I could not draw out at least a little. For dogs, we will have to try a temperament test with Scribble, who always wants to play more. I can offer boarding on weekends only because I am at my day job for long days Monday through Friday. I can offer pet drop in visits or dog walks in the evening year-round as long as your dog will share a walk with Scribble. A quick cat visit is easy any evening. Your pup's weekend will involve play sessions, games, leash walks and possibly unleashed walks and play, and exploring with exercise. Until I know your dog can be trusted off-leash and we explore the full property a few times, we will do leash walks only on our loop trails (about 20 minutes casual pace to walk them all). Our field is great for playing and offers lots of space to run around. There is always plenty to sniff and explore, with a trail around a pond, and many rabbits, squirrels, birds and deer about. Scribble never gets tired of exploring, and neither will your pet, even if we stay on leash. For cats, I can set up a private spare room and time to explore chaperoned. A private room will have a human bed, cat beds, catnip mats, and at least one climbing tower. Your cat will need to be okay with my guys hissing under the door initially and Scribble coming around to say hi with his tail wagging.
About: Worked as a supervisor at daycare/ boarding facility for 6+ years. Have been around all breeds and behaviors. Have owned animals of different species my whole life. I am also a veterinary technician so I do know how to administer medications of all types. I work at a vet clinic full time and my days off may vary. Generally I work 7:30am - 5:30pm. On days off I spend time with my fur babies. 2 friendly dogs and 4 friendly cats. I also do have a large and XL breed wire kennel if your pet needs to be kenneled at night. I would love to take your fur baby on a walk if you are willing to work around my work hours.
“Lynn was available at the last minute while we traveled into town for the day. Highly recommend her. She made an extra trip to meet our dog and us. Very thankful for her drop in visit and taking care of our fur baby.”
“Brittney did an amazing job with our dog and keeping our house nice and clean. The photos and updates that we got for each drop-in visit made our day!! We will for sure be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. Throughout the years, my family and I have welcomed rescue dogs into our home and fostered dogs in need of a safe and loving environment. I currently have a Bernedoodle and a Golden Retriever of my own, both of whom I have been actively involved in training and caring for from a young age. For the past five years, I’ve also provided pet-sitting and dog-walking services for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for dogs and puppies of various ages, personalities, and needs. I’m committed to providing every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own dogs. I’m currently a Dental Hygiene student with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care primarily during afternoons and evenings. I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s individual needs whenever possible. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me! I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine and pay attention to their personality and individual needs. I’m also big on keeping pets supervised, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get their walks, potty breaks, food, and playtime. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re doing well while you’re away!
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 15 years now with experience with any age or size of dog. I am very flexible with your or your pets needs. I offer all services available. I am home full time so I am able to be with your dog and provide potty and play breaks several times during the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company! I am home full time so your dog will never be alone.
About: I've had pets since I was five years old, and have taken care of dogs for the last six years. I absolutely adore dogs and cats, and miss being around them every day. Growing up, I cared for different pets in my neighborhood, and have been on Rover since 2020, working with pets of all shapes and sizes (but mostly dogs and cats). I have an extremely flexible schedule since I work in a hybrid capacity, and can be available as often as your pet requires me to be. I have availability every day of the week, as well as nights. I am a very reliable and trustworthy person, who wants nothing more than to provide your fur baby with a safe and caring environment. I am also very respectful of others' space.
About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dodge Center
Absolutely wonderful! We were gone Wed- Sunday and she spent lots of time with the dogs and she went above and beyond with the care. Lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to be away knowing they had such good care, and they snuggled her up and loved having her. It was our first time leaving them, and our dogs decided to be less than perfect houseguests, and so Angelina ended up cleaning up for our spoiled little fur babies. She was so helpful, as I also messed up when booking so she fixed that (newbie!). Would 100% recommend. Came home to well cared for and happy pups! I can't thank her enough for the great care and attention she gave them so we could enjoy our trip without worrying about things. Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dodge Center is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 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 October 2026, there are 311 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dodge Center. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dodge Center. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 .
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.
