About: I have two dogs right now. One is a yellow lab and the other is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The Spaniel is 3 and the lab is 2. So there is a lot of energy in the house. I have experience with walking them both while on camping trips, giving them baths, playing fetch and of course laying on the couch and cuddling. I also used to have an older Cavalier King Charles Spaniel so I have experience with all ages of dogs. I love to interact and give dogs all of my attention! I have currently just finished my first year of college at Buena Vista University. I am looking to make a little more money for this summer, and this job is something I know I would enjoy. I am not sure how my summer will plan out exactly yet, but I would love to make time and will be flexible! I live in the country with a 3 acre yard. There is plenty of room to run around and play fetch if needed. I also have two dogs on my own that are very friendly and playful, but can also be calmed if needed. I will respect your needs and wants as the dogs owner.

This was my 4th time using Rover, & my 2nd booking with Dylan, & very happy to have trusted my boys with her! Her rates are gr8, & she's been very responsive! The 1st time I booked with Dylan in July 2023, I only had my senior, 13 year old cat, Jack. Now, I have a new guy, Stache. Jack is also now fully blind WITH Special Needs (not on medication, thankfully!) while Stache has a few possible behaviors & Dylan was able to follow my instructions for their care, & they did great! I don't have another trip planned, but it's a relief to know Dylan is super reliable, & will hopefully be available! Thanks for the caring care!

About: I provide reliable, attentive care with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a dog owner myself (7 year-old corgi & cocker spaniel puppy), I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. Whether your pup prefers a long adventure walk, a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, or extra playtime and attention, I’ll tailor each visit to their needs. I’m committed to being on time, communicating clearly, and treating every dog like one of my own. Fridays are my primary availability, with flexible scheduling on many weekends. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, or some extra attention during the day, I’m committed to being on time, communicating clearly, and providing reliable care. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own, following your instructions carefully and respecting your home. My goal is to provide a safe, positive experience for your dog and peace of mind for you.

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. We lived on a farm with different dogs coming in and out that I took care of along with some cats. I love animals and would love to have my future career with them. 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. I will walk your dogs around town as much as they need and they will be fed on time. I have 3 pets at home I take care of, my dog spot and 2 cats Tom and Tita. (Not named by me)

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: Good pups are a huge portion of my life. I was raised around animals and cared for others pets while living with family and independently and all of my free time is spent caring for my six pets: Spencer the fish, Yato & Yuki kitties, Tilly & Deku pups, and Peter the rabbit. So anytime to care is a good time to call. I am a full-time healthcare worker at Shell Rock Senior Living that loves to be active and to have an interactive lifestyle. I would be available during most morning and afternoon hours to provide any pet care you would need. We have a decent and clean home and yard in the Cedar Valley that we share in a lovely neighborhood that has welcomed us and our fur babies. We go on walks and play outside with our two dogs and pet rabbit Peter. We also are lucky enough to share our pets with the residents at Shell Rock and take them in quite often. Any pet is welcome with us!

About: I've had furbabies of all types since I was a child, worked as a veterinary tech for several years and foster cats and small pets. I currently work part time remotely from home and can take my work with me anywhere I go! I love kitty cuddles and no pup is too big to sit on my lap. My furbabies are family and are treated with respect, care and love. I treat all animals the same way, as if they were my own!

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Grundy Center

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Grundy Center on Rover is $16.05 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 136 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Grundy Center. 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 Grundy Center 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.
