“Erika was WONDERFUL! Not only did she agree to watch my dogs SUPER last minute (I had already left for Chicago when my original plan for them fell through), but also right before a snowstorm! Still showed up as scheduled and even cleared a new path for them to potty (because they’re little). I also love that she stayed the full half-hour to snuggle with them and sent pictures and an update every visit! Will DEFINITELY use her again!”
“Maegan is the first person to lay eyes on my black cat, Pablo, which must mean she’s magic. So happy all the critters had someone lovely to check in on them, and big extra thanks for taking in my packages that showed up early!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs almost my whole life! My family has had dogs for as long as I can remember and I’ve always had a passion for working with them and getting to know all their different personalities. I believe fur babies deserve the absolute best care as they are what make our lives so much better! I have a soft spot for the elderly kiddos and have been working in veterinary medicine the past 4 years :) I’m currently working full time during days from 7:30-5 pm but am available around that schedule. I would love to add some daily walks to my routine or some dog sitting time! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly 8 year old St. Bernard/ Australian Shepherd mix if you need your dog out of the house for a few hours or a kit I have put together before every visit including some grooming brushes, treats, and any doggy bags that will be needed if I make the visit to you!
About: I have had dogs in my household since I was around the age of 5. I love caring for dogs in my hometown and would love to take care of yours while I am in college. I have done drop-in visits with many families around Carroll, IA. I have also done many overnight stays with pups in which I am willing to get up with them throughout the night for any needs they may have. I can work with any age of puppy ranging from puppy-senior dogs. I’m currently a student at Hawkeye Community College! My schedule can be a big crazy between school, work and dance but I would love to work something out! In my home we have a full fenced in yard and baby gates to keep our dogs from roaming wherever. I am willing to work with any circumstances whether it be standing outside with the dog and watching them or holding them on a leash to ensure their safety and mine.
“Nico saved our vacation when we had a last minute cancellation from our dog sitter. He was able to watch our dog when we contacted him through rover the night before our vacation started. He sent many pictures every time he went to walk our dog Webby. We would definitely recommend using Nico for your pet sitting g needs.”
About: I love dogs and have had dogs my whole life. I have been trusted by friends, family, and coworkers to take care of their dogs whether that be walking, bathing, or just simply staying with them! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I only work four days a week starting at 5 pm! I can crate your dog if needed or I can provide loves of snuggles if they don’t use one! I don’t have any other dogs in my home so they wouldn’t have issues with any other animals.
About: I have four beautiful dogs and two gorgeous beautiful cats. I have a senior dog who just recovered from joint issues and who just graduated from therapy! I’ve always loved animals, pet care has been apart of my life since I was a kid, I’ve rescued and will always have time to fit my furbabies and anyones furbabies into my routine. I have a fenced in yard and 4 loving hyper active babies, I have the essentials in my home for their health and their own room!
About: Hey I'm Syd! I'm a recent UNI graduate with degrees in Criminal Justice + Public Administration. During this season of life I’ve been able to embrace two of my favorite things: pet care + travel! As an avid traveler myself, I recognize the importance of trustworthy pet care. This is why I prioritize honest and reliable communication with pet owners. Going into my last year of college, I launched an in-home pet sitting business serving the Cedar Valley called Traveling Tails Pet Sitting. Traveling Tails allowed me to grow my own pet care experience and also mentor the 7 other sitters that make up our amazing team! One of my most rewarding pet care experiences was when I stayed with a very timid rescue dog named Coco. Coco was very untrusting at first and would not let me near her. However after giving her time and building trust by hand feeding her, we quickly became friends. I loved watching Coco break out of her shell and feel right at home until her family returned! I’m in a transitional season of life at this time which has allowed me to collaborate with owners to create the best schedule for their pets and their needs. I've lived in the same neighborhood for almost my whole life and feel very comfortable taking strolls around the neighborhood. My mom works from home and is almost always around. We live less than a mile away from the dog park and near a beautiful nature reserve and trail we frequent often :)

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for my entire life. As a kid, my family bred and raised Shih Tzus. I have experience with all ages! I am currently working part time/as needed while attending college part time. I have a flexible schedule and commute from Charles City to Waterloo most every day. I have a private, fenced in backyard. My wiener dog, Tootsie, enjoys roaming our 3-bedroom house, sunbathing on the couches, and snuggling in bed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 132 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hudson. 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Hudson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
