About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!
“Shelby is a great sitter! She really helped us out with a last minute request and is responsive, professional, and provided great updates! Thanks for taking good care of our kitty!”
“Lisa, Always Reliable! Lisa goes up and beyond to ensure the safety and care for the pets she is caring for are first and foremost! We appreciate Lisa and all she does looking after our little ones when away from home. Thank you Lisa!”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING! This is the very first time using Rover and finding Elizabeth, and retaining her service to check in on my Puppy-Buddy, Liam, has been a fantastic experience. Liam instantly connected with Elizabeth. Elizabeth provided Liam with the care and love he needed while I was away. Liam seemed completely happy every day when I arrived home, and not because he saw me, but because of all the visits he received from Elizabeth. Elizabeth made sure to send plenty of pics and videos of playtime with Liam and this made me very confident that choosing Elizabeth to connect with Liam was the perfect choice. I would give Elizabeth 6 stars and more if given this option. I highly recommend Elizabeth, so long as I don't need her first.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with my pets!!!!! My dog got nice long walks, and my cats were given tons of love. I really appreciated the peace of mind while I was away. Stress free, and the note card updates were funny and thoughtful. Would definitely reccomend Ashley for all your pet sitting needs.”
“I feel confident when I leave for work that my dog Gemma is in great hand with Karen, Karen is a great communicator, and responsive to request to care for you pet. I’m fortunate to have found her on Rover!”
“Thank you so much Natasha for a last minute drop in. I know he is in good hands when you visit. Your instincts with him are always spot on! Thanks again for another great visit.”
“Being our first use of your service, we were very pleased with Alana. She gave us daily updates of our cats as well as pics awaiting their meals. The feeders were set and the litter tidy. Our old girl sometimes misses the target……”
About: Dogs and cats have been part of my life as long as I can remember. Unconditional love from them is simply priceless. Happy to help. I am retired now and home 24/7 except for errands. I can take them for walks around the neighborhood, keep them in a crate when I'm gone, whatever your routine is, I can accommodate. I have a wonderful fenced in backyard, as well. My fenced yard is a wonderful space for them to just poke around. I can also visit your home if they're more comfortable there. Happy to baby your baby.
“Leaving a pet at home when we go on a trip has always been stressful for us. This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we did. Kim did an amazing job looking after our cat while we were away. She was punctual, which we were grateful for, so as to keep our kitty's routine as normal as possible. We received daily pictures, as well as texts, on how each visit went. She was quick to respond to all of my text messages and just gave us such peace of mind knowing things were being done just as we would do them while were gone. We will absolutely be contacting Kim in the future for all of our pet sitting needs. Couldn't be happier!”
“We are very pleased with the care Thomas provided for our kitty Mieze. When he returned our house key, Mieze ran down the stairs to greet him. We can think of no better testimonial! Maria and Geoff”
“Jordan has watched our 2 cats for us twice now. The cats love her and she takes very good care of them. She leaves good feedback on each visit with lovely photos. She even took our trash and recycling cans out and back in for us since we were missing our trash day. Will definitely be asking Jordan to cat-sit on future occasions.”
About: We are committed to providing a clean and safe environment for all of our canine guests. Your pup will have all the features of a larger facility but with the comfort of a home feel. Dogs have a total 2,200 SqFt of play area. Our indoor play area is connected to a fully turfed yard, allowing dogs to run in and out as they please. We monitor the dogs throughout the space to ensure their safety and well-being. Our daycare hours are 9am-5pm on weekdays and offer boarding both on weekends and weekdays. We also offer drop ins for cat care. We have two well mannered and calm husky/malamute mixes to keep all the pups company. We also have a new puppy who plays with our high energy visitors! We ensure all the dogs (and cats) are well taken care of during their stay. We work from home and tend to be home for most of the day. We love dogs and have an interest in dog training and canine first aid, and we self-trained Ghost and Akira to be fully trained service animals. Ramya also is an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator and is currently completing a certificate in Applied Animal Behavior at the University of Washington. We are able to care for dogs of all sizes and ensure that all pups who stay in our care and matched in their play style. We want all the pups to be safe and have fun!
About: I’m a farm raised girl with years of animal care practice, dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, and donkeys. I’ve always had pets in my life and claimed the role of family dog trainer. Pets are my happy place, and I love spending time loving on dogs and cats so their owner feels more comfortable leaving home. My dog Pongo is very special to me and I know the pain of leaving him behind when it’s necessary, and also know the joy of finding someone with a big heart to care for him when I’m gone. I’m that girl with the big heart that will love and care for your furry loved ones so you can be comfortable leaving home knowing they’re well cared for. I spent a year volunteering at West Sound Wildlife which gave me experience tending to wounded animals. I’m well versed in giving animals medications and following strict diets. My schedule is very flexible at the moment which means I’m able to make your animal a top priority. I work at a local restaurant but my shifts aren’t long, at most I’ll be out of the house for five to six hours. I love getting to know each pet, what their needs are, and how to best meet those needs while I care for them. If tons of love and snuggles are required I’m happy to oblige, but I also understand the different boundaries of each individual animal and how to navigate them to earn trust. My dog Pongo gets 4-5 walks per day, some are sniff walks for mental exercise, and others are to throw a stick in the woods for him to let some energy out.
About: You know when they say some people are "pet whisperers?" Yeah, that's kind of me. lol I have been born and raised around animals and have had 2 dogs, 4 cats, 2 rats, 1 hamster, hermit crabs, fish, and a bearded dragon as an adult. I'm currently a full-time nursing student in an online-accelerated nursing program so I'm basically studying all day - which makes me the perfect pet/house-sitter...I'm always around! There is usually one day a week that I'm gone for 5 or 6 hours so your pets would need to be ok with being alone for a bit, but other than that, I'm around to give them all the loves and snuggles and belly rubs they desire! As mentioned above, I'm a full-time nursing student so I pretty much just sit at my laptop and do homework/study all day. I usually have 1 or 2 days per week that I have to be in-person for labs and clinical and those days typically are about 4-5 hours per day. Otherwise, I'm here for your pet(s)! As a pet owner myself, I know the importance of keeping a pet safe and loved! I would never take a pet to an unleashed/unfenced area - I would always keep them leashed or make sure it was a fully secure area that your pet already knows (your local fenced dog park for example). I recognize that some pets take a little time to warm up so I would give them the space and time to warm up, and accept me, on their terms - never forcing them to be by buddy. :)
“Devan did a wonderful job taking care of our pup for a drop in visit! He had a fun time playing and we felt great knowing he was well cared for. Devan sent cute pictures of him and gave us a great update on the visit after.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Indianola on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,318 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
