About: I’ve dog sat for about 10 different families over the past 10 years. From small dogs like chihuahuas to large breeds like mastiffs. I also watched the most interesting bengal cat! For many years I babysat children and cared for pets simultaneously. I was raised in an animal loving family, most nights I had a dog at the foot of my bed or a cat underneath it. I understand that pets are family and no one knows your pet like you. I am detail oriented and high energy. I’m am currently a student at Cal Poly Humboldt. I am a child development major. I took a step back from my work with early education to finish a few core classes. This makes my schedule quite open! I have a fully fenced yard with an extra high fence. It is mostly grass with small concrete pathway. I am never in school longer than 3 hours. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood.
“Tatianya instantly gained the trust & affection of my shy little cat and demonstrated real fluency in the language of kitty cat vibes. Communication was good — I appreciated the photos & video. Came home to a clean house & a happy cat. Thanks Tatianya!”
“We are always so appreciative of Bailey’s time and feel relieved knowing our cats are in good hands with her! She is a caring and attentive Rover and we highly recommend her services. Thank you Bailey!”
About: I have had the amazing pleasure of working with many dogs and cats in my life! I cater to each and every type of personality and routine, so I will be more than willing to go for long or short walks/runs as well as stay inside and lounge around! Please reach out to me with any questions, concerns or comments! I am currently a Cal Poly Humboldt student, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding availability! I’m available all day Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays; Mondays and Wednesdays before 1pm and after 5pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays before 3pm and after 6pm. I am here for your fur babies so my attention will be focused on them! I am an excellent communicator and will ask how often you would like to be contacted (outside the usual questions and concerns) ex. photos, updates, food diary, etc! In my home I have a fenced patio and I am located next to a park!
About: I have taken care of many dogs professionally. I have 3 dogs and know how to take care of chaotic dogs. I have bathed and fed my dogs for 12 years. My dogs like to escape and they bark at other dogs. I know how to solve these situations. Im going to school but I have classes in the morning so ill have plenty of time to play with your pups! I can also stay over night if you need an overnight stayer! I entertain the pets and make sure they are always occupied if need be. If they look sad I make sure to pet and give them a lot of belly rubs.
“She was absolutely amazing, great communication, helped me figure out the app because I am completely new to it, sends me pictures and videos of my pet 10/10 pictures I will save them forever because of how cute they came out. If I have to go somewhere and I can’t take my beloved fur baby I am coming back to her.”
About: For as long as I can remember, animals have been a part of my life. Dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, sheep, horses, you name it, I’ve taken care of them. I’ve raised and trained puppies, cared for elderly pets and everything in between. Large or small, I love them all I am retired so my time is very flexible. From a short drop-in to check on your pet to a long- term house sitting assignment, my schedule is open. When caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to respect your privacy and to diligently follow your instructions. Your pets needs are my top priority
“This was a great experience for us and for our cats. Mark's spacious, warm garage was the perfect place for our 4 cats to spend the night. We knew they were safe, they had lots of room to explore and they were together. We are booking another night soon.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 36 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Indianola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
