About: I grew up caring for my family’s three dogs and I loved every minute of it! I am able to care for any age and have experiences with those who need a little extra TLC (seniors, epilepsy, etc). I currently attend graduate school Monday through Thursday 8-3:30 and I am available most other days/times! I am able to do overnight care as well. I will care for your pet based on its needs! I will do everything that I can to ensure your pets safety and happiness (leashes, crates, etc).

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. :-)

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.

Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!

About: I am very passionate about animals and they have my heart. I have raised my own rescue dog, who is now 14 years old. I also have been an animal caretaker at a boarding facility providing all levels of care, including administering medications. I had my own pet sitting business in Arkansas where I cared for animals in my home and at clients homes. I also worked with Rover in Denver, CO! I LOVE animals, I volunteer with many animal organizations and I am a huge animal advocate. I am a student in massage therapy school, I am getting certified to be a yoga therapist, I teach yoga AND I am currently bartending as well! I would love to help you take care of your babies when you cannot make it to them. I know how important it is. My schedule varies, but lets work it out so I can help you!!! I keep all dogs on leashes, I bring water on very hot days and love to get them socialized if that is part of what you would like for your dog! I also love to spend time snuggling with dogs and cats in their home to make sure they are comforted and trust me.

Tiara was amazing! Although my baby was stolen from me right before she started her check ins, she did everything in her power to assist me in finding her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter for their fur baby as she will treat them as her own and take very good care of them.

About: I've lived with cats and worked with dogs my whole life. From bathing my grandma's dog to walking pit bulls at the shelter, animals have always been a part of my life. Over the summer I'm looking for work wherever I can take it but mostly open. In the school year I am usually never gone more than 3 hours. I live in a pet friendly basement apartment with air conditioning. There is space for a kennel and other supplies if needed. It's not gigantic is very clean and the complex has a bark park.

About: I love dogs, cats, small pets, big pets, furry pets, scaley pets, pretty much all animals. I am attending college to be a vet. I have experience with all shapes and sizes and love them all. I'm available most evenings (M, W, F, anytime after 3:00, and Tu, Tr, anytime after 3:30) and weekends at any time. I can check in on your dog (or any other pet) and take them for walks, feed them, play with them, or clean any messes. I can stay over night with your dog provided I am the only person in the house hold and the dog is comfortable with strangers. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and what I can do for you and your furry friend. M-F after 3pm and weekends any time. There is some wiggle room and some times where I’ve got my own dog to look out for. We can always work it out! I’ve got a large home with a large fenced in backyard. My partner and I both love dogs, and we have one as well. We’ve got lots of treats(allergies friendly) and toys to play with.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dunkerton on Rover is $13.88 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 134 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dunkerton. 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 Dunkerton 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.
