About: Hi! I’m Rehleigh, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Whether they love to play, snuggle on the couch, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for animals of all kinds, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow any routines, medications, or special instructions to help them feel right at home. My goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your furry friend plenty of love and attention. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I’m available for drop-in visits during evenings & weekends and don’t mind stopping by on my lunch break. On weekdays, your pet will get plenty of love and attention before work, after work, and throughout the evening. Weekends are all about playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have over 7 years of pet sitting experience and treat every dog like they’re one of my own. I always follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay to give you complete peace of mind.
“Jessica was amazing! It’s obvious she loves animals and we were able to have peace of mind because of her extensive experience with animals. We would love to have Jessica watch Clementine again!!”
About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog
“Kathy was fantastic in her care, professionalism and updates. We have a senior jack russell mix and a very shy bernadoodle. She took their individual needs into consideration and she gave them her full attention. They got lots of walking and play time. Her photos were great. I would definitely rebook!”
About: I am responsible, patient, and attentive to your pet’s needs. I am available during the week in the mornings and evenings, and I am flexible on the weekends. I work full time, and I have availability in the mornings before 9am and in the evenings after 6pm. I am flexible on the weekend. I have two cats in my home and a decent sized yard. It is not fenced in. I am primarily seeking to assist with dog walking.
About: I love dogs so much. My girl is part of the family. I do have a yard leash I use to ensure your pet is safe. I'd be more than glad to meet up in advanced or do a trial day. Please understand my dog is very important to me and my lifeline, so I understand how important your loved one is to you. I am a new mother and want to find a way to stay home with my little one. Thats why im looking for regular customers to care for. I do work during the day but I am able to run home if need be. My boyfriend is home during the day to be with the baby. That is why I want someone who can play with Ellie and keep her company durring those times. I enjoy running so ai can take the dogs with me. I let them have the run of most of the house. I close the bedroom doors when I'm gone but otherwise their free to tear up, chew, and run to their hearts content.

I do have a fenced in yard and can house my personal dogs separately, if necessary.

Genesys was great! If I need someone to check on my little guy while traveling again, I know who to rebook. Genesys was reliable and communicative, and also diligent when attending to unexpected snags in the beginning - such as my cat's bumpy first day without me there, and figuring out schedule / communication with a 6 hour time difference. We hit a good flow, my cat warmed up to Genesys quickly, and I came home after 2 weeks to a happy little fellow!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dubuque on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 105 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dubuque. 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 Dubuque 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 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.
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.
