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'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.

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: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I treat each one like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and I'm comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care around my classes. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine, and I make time to give every pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll always communicate my availability clearly and ensure your pet receives consistent, dependable care. Hi! I'm someone you can count on to give your pets the same love and care they receive at home. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I make it a priority to follow it closely. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving them lots of attention and affection, my goal is to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like they're my own and believe that patience, reliability, and communication are key to providing the best care possible. I'll make sure you have peace of mind by giving your furry family member the love and attention they deserve. Services I offer: 🐾 Drop-in visits- includes potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. 🚶 Dog walks- includes a fun stroll through the fresh air, either in your neighborhood or around a nearby trail to ensure your pup is getting some fresh air and exercise. 🏡 Dog sitting- includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their home. During this time, I provide daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and of course, cuddles. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide dependable care you can trust!

Lindsay did great with our doggy while we were away on vacation, keeping us updated on how she was doing and acting and taking photos of her during the in home visits. The photos appeared that she was well taken care of and I appreciated Lindsay’s communication. It’s clear that she cares a lot for animals. Would recommend and use her again!

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 have had over 25 years of experience taking care of my own dogs, at one time I had 5 energetic medium dogs. I truly love all animals (with the exception of snakes and spiders) and would love to retire and devote all of my time to caring for pets. I was not able to have 2-legged children so my furbabies really are my babies. I work downtown Nashville during the week but am very flexible with breaks etc from my office so I am available for walking, feeding, and loving during the week as well as on weekends. I have a lot of patience for puppies and especially for older and special needs dogs. I currently only have one dog at home that would love some periodic company. He is a lab/basset mix and gets along wonderfully with other dogs.

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.
