About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.

When I got home to my kitty, her water dishes were full and her litter box was empty, so I could tell Marjorie had kept everything just right. Each day I received photos, replies to my texts, and assurance that my sweet elder kitty was receiving love and attention.

About: Lots of Hands-on experience assisting with dog walking, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, crate care, and high-energy breeds through direct involvement in daily pet care support. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I structure my schedule with flexibility in mind. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I plan my days to allow dedicated time for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins without feeling rushed. Consistency and reliability are priorities for me. Safety and trust come first in any home. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain feeding and medication schedules, and keep a calm, structured environment. I monitor pets during walks, avoid unsafe areas, and ensure doors, gates, and crates are secure. I respect each client’s home, keep things clean, and give pets attentive, responsible care at all times.

Jadeyn was great! Super kind and had good communication. She helped us out with lunch time check in’s for the week. She took cute pictures and left thoughtful updates every day showing that she spent quality time with our dog and cat for the full 30 mins. They were happy and calm each day when we got home from work.

About: Hi everyone! I’m a dedicated and trustworthy pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, and keeping pets active and engaged. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with someone else, so I always provide updates, photos, and clear communication. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities! I have two dogs of my own back in my hometown who I love very much. I can't wait to devote my time to your pets! 💛 Let me know how I can help! 🐕 I currently work part-time as a Therapy Technician at a UMC Team Rehab clinic, so this gives me plenty of time to care for your pet! I am off on weekends, and during the week I mainly work in the afternoons, but I am off by dinner time, so I will have no issues scheduling-wise! My apartment is gated, and has lots of green space where I always see dogs playing! I strive to give the best service to my clients' pets every time I watch them, and I hope to create a space that feels like home for the pet!

About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.

We have used Rachel multiple times and always had a wonderful experience. Our dogs love her. She has made sure our babies have been fed and potties and always reports with pictures. She has also returned to check on them whenever we have had travel delays. We will always choose Rachel whenever we have to leave town.

About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many dog pets in my life. One whom was sick since she was born and i had to give medication daily. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with its hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! I am currently in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist. My work schedule is mornings/almost afternoon. I am available in the morning for those whom can’t be attentive to their fur babies due to being at work. While i’m going in to work my husband is almost out so fur babies will not be alone too long. We are a team!! I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.

I work part time, so I have pretty open availability on weekdays as well as weekends. I am always available on Sunday’s, early mornings, or evenings. I have two friendly dogs that would love to play if in my home. At your home, I would care for your fur babies the way you would advise me to.

Gwendolyn did an excellent job of caring for our dogs and they really love her. We are extremely selective about who takes care of our babies when we have to be away from them and we hope she is the only Rover sitter we ever need again. I highly recommend her (unless you need her the same dates I do, in which case I don't). But seriously, she understands these are people's precious babies and cares for them as such.

About: I have a dog of my own and my sister has a cat. I've taken care of pets for family and friends. Both staying in house and dropping in for feeding and potty breaks. I firmly believe pets are members of the family, a friend and a companion not just an animal. I have very flexible hours. I will be returning to college in the fall but i will continue accepting bookings. Im typically available morning to late at night. For Drop-in visits or house sitting that require early morning care I am able to work it with my schedule with no issue. For drop-in visits I'll check in minimum 3 times daily for feeding, potty breaks, and short playtimes. For house sitting i am happy to stay overnight. In the event I need to leave for any reason, I'm happy to take your fluffy loved one on a car ride with me if acceptable and only if i am not getting out of the car.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Idalou

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Idalou on Rover is $19.98 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 407 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Idalou. 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 Idalou 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 with handling special pet needs in Idalou. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
