“Sarah was a lifesaver for our last minute request to watch our cats! She was amazing with Marlin and Lola… 2 very different 🐈🐈⬛personalties. We got lots of PICTs and messages… 💯 % recommend Sarah!”
“Mary was thorough and had good communication. 😸 I especially appreciate that she talked to my scared and hiding cat during her breakfast to try to earn her trust for the future. We give her 2 paws up! 🐾”
“Michaels the best! He’s helped us multiple times with overnight stays & quick drop ins. Our very selective dog & our shy cat both love him. He went above & beyond when we were away during a big snow storm & couldn’t get home to our pets. He cleared a pathway for our dog to go outside, cleared snow away from vents attached to our home & still managed to keep our pets active & exercised in the frigid temps. Everyone needs a Michael for their pets!”
“Erika was great with my very shy cat. She was extremely patient and willing to try a number of different strategies to get my cat out of hiding. I really appreciated that she was open to suggestions from me, and eventually, a video chat with my cat during her visit did the trick. Now they are best buddies! She follows instructions well and is a responsible pet sitter.”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs since early childhood and I have years of experience caring for them. From daily routines to playtime and cuddles, I'm attentive, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I'm happy to work around your needs to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and affection, and treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect.
About: I have had a dog for 7 years! He is super playful and joyous. I have had to brush his teeth, clip his nails, and give him medicine, along with all other responsibilities that come with a dog. I love big dogs and am very patient with all animals. I currently work part-time and have availability in the mornings and nights! I walk everyday and am hoping to include a pet in my daily walks! I am very tidy and considerate of people's space as well as the animal's environment. I take care to keep anything dangerous locked away from my pets in my home and am very careful with opening and closing doors to the outside due to my cat!
“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”
“Heather was so kind and upon meeting her, I instantly knew I wouldn’t have to worry while I was gone. She was very communicative and I know my boy had the best treatment.”
“Meagan was great! We were flexible about times, but she always came when she said she was going to and gave detailed summaries after each visit. We could see her playing with Louie on the outdoor camera, and he looked like he really enjoyed her company. She took great care of our buddy while we were out of town and we couldn’t be happier!”
About: I'm a dog mom myself & I treat every dog with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care requires total peace of mind, which is why I prioritize strict attention to routine, safety, and proactive communication. I currently work from 7am - 3pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends and overnights. After 3pm on weekdays I am fully available for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard, and a Golden Retriever who is very friendly and well trained. I make sure there is always a water in my dogs bowl and I am on schedule with her feeding times.
About: I've watched and walked friends and neighbors dogs since I was eleven years old. While my paid experience is currently minimal, my familiarity, energy, and reliability goes the extra mile. Whether you're short on time, heading on vacation, or not physically able to take your pup on the walk they need, I'm here to help. I've was also lucky enough to have a sassy silver tabby cat of my own for 17 years. I adore cats and would gladly sit for them as well. I'm currently in-between jobs, focusing on a passion project so I have plenty for time and flexibility to look after your pet's needs. I am not currently available to board in my home as my lease does not allow pets, but I'd gladly look after them in your home once we've established trust between us and your pets.
“I booked Sarah through Rover to check in on my pets while I was on vacation, and she was amazing! She visited daily, walked Yogi three times a day, and made sure Luna was happy and cared for. I loved getting picture updates, and she contacted me right away with any concerns. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were well cared for, which let me really enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I have ran an animal rescue for years and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I can bathe, provide meds, socialize, and give playtime and walks. I will have 3 free days a week and some evenings available to provide services. I can assist with dog walking and socialization for both dogs and cats. I provide feeding and water schedules exactly as the owner prefers for their pet, and provide multiple walks, playtime, and socialization, as well as a variety of toys.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Indianola
Sweet, caring, trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Sarah watched my 2 dogs & cat on a last minute request. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. However, Sarah made the whole experience a total joy. She was over the top responsive, always provided details about the visits, was happy to add a visit and tweek the times if needed. I look forward to using her services again and absolutely 100% recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,268 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Indianola. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 92% 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.
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.
