“Shelby dropped in to spend some time with our 10 month old lab while we were in town for a wedding. She was quick to respond and send updates, as well as send a thorough follow up with photos after leaving. We’re so thankful she was able to spend time with our pup on short notice!”
“We recently were gone for a week and hired Ashley to look after our cat during drop in visits, and she couldn’t have done a better job. Ashley made sure that our cat was comfortable in his own environment, and sent us the most incredible photos and descriptions of how he behaved that day. We are so incredibly appreciative of Ashley’s amazing work and will no doubt be hiring her again in the future. She really went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Ryland ( like Island :) ) did a great job taking care of Sonny - it was so wonderful getting a daily progress report and pictures while away from my furry one. It brings a real sense of comfort knowing Sonny was well taken care of and it couldn't have been done without Ryland's kind asisstance. Thank you again Ryland - much appreciated.”
“Kyrna was great with my pup! She followed instructions well and was flexible with my adjustments, and I could tell my girl was happy from their time together. I hope to use her services again in the future!”
About: My family got our first dog when I was 3, I'm now 41, and have been caring for/loving on dogs ever since. My family fostered dogs for our local rescue for 6 years while I was in middle/high school and had about 160 dogs in/out of our house during that time. We specialized in caring for the bigger, older, and abused dogs. One of them that we foster failed with had chronic issues that required daily medicine, so I'm comfortable with administering pills to dogs if it can't just be hidden in their food. I love making friends with all of the dogs that I meet and my neighbors actually joke that I'm their dogs favorite person because of how excited he is to see me. All of the dogs that I've had over the years have been German Shepherd mixes so I'm capable of handling the bigger breeds of dogs on walks. I am a stay at home mom, and my kids are finally at the same school, so I have a ton of time on my hands during the day to help take care of your furbabies. My schedule is open and flexible. All animals are my favorite animals and I love to love on any of them that allow me to. I will provide scratches, belly rubs, kisses, and take them on the best walks
“Anna is wonderful! She’s an open and clear communicator — which has been really helpful as my work schedule keeps changing. And most importantly, our slightly high maintenance dogs love her.”
“Overall excellent service! Elizabeth is punctual, reliable, goes above and beyond with communicating about our pup, and is so kind. Our dog jumps with joy every time he sees her.”
“Chantelle was so kind and attentive. She was attentive to my cat, Chiari, provided updates, and played with her. I’m so grateful for her help and care. Definitely would recommend booking with her!”
About: I have dog sat for a handful of people over the years. Some new clients and some faithful returning ones that become family friends. Some have needed medication and lots of walks, some just needed a friend, I love doing anything/everything. I do not currently own any pets and would love to be outside and more active. I would be available to do walks/drop ins around 3:30pm-9pm Monday-Thursday and most times Fridays-Sundays. Dog sitting availability depends on needs and pet schedule but please reach out about anything! I have worked with crates, dog doors, or dogs being inside all day and need walks/potty breaks. I hope we can work something out between us and your loved fur baby.
About: I've been around animals all my life! From as small as a mouse to as big as a horse, I love spending my time with animals. I have experience with training dogs (not certified), and love going down animal behavioral rabbit holes (pun intended). My goal is to make sure your babies are taken care and safe while you are away! I am disabled and mostly work several gigs jobs so my time is very flexible! I am willing to work with clients on their needs. I want to respect your and your pet's space and will be very mindful of where they feel comfortable. If you have crate instructions, I am comfortable doing that as well.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities! Always reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I am available for walks and sitting on weekdays and some weekends. I'll ensure that your pets feel safe in whatever environment I am interacting with them in! Happy to play fetch or run with your dog or just sit in the same room as your cat!
About: I have had many pets growing up and am understanding to the awareness and patience needed to care for diverse animals and look forward to learning more. My current work schedule allows me flexibility to attend to early walks or drop ins and afternoon as well. I am open to finding as much flexibility to ensure I can meet your fur babies needs! I have a fenced in yard with a 2 year old black German Shepard border collie mix and a 6 year old shorthair black cat.
About: I currently have been working at a doggy day camp/boarding center for about five months now and I love it! I’ve grown up with and been around cats and dogs my whole life (so technically almost 20 years of experience with cats/dogs)! I also work with reactive dogs so I understand them and how to properly handle them. I have done all the shifts at my job but mostly do the mornings so I’m very comfortable with feeding and administering medications if needed! I have handled the smallest to the biggest of dogs, most breeds but all sizes and ages! Before starting at this job, I did some pet sitting and dog walking too. I’m currently working 40 hours a week. I have pretty normal days off, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, my normal shifts are 6-2, Thurs-Mon, sometimes they are different. I could do pretty much anytime on my days off and after my shifts when I do work! I will very regularly update my availability on here, you can also always reach out to me to ask and see if I am available if the calendar says I’m not! :) I have a 10-year-old female Ragdoll that’s been around most of my life, (she is mine), and I live with my parents who have two English Bulldogs! I always make sure that her litter box is clean and fresh for her. I regularly check her food and water to always make sure she has some. She is a quiet independent girl so caring for her isn’t too complicated. My parents dogs are a little bit more complicated. Both of them have daily meds that they need to get and I give it to them when I am needed to. I feed them and take them to go potty and walks very normally!
About: I have been dog walking for friends and families for about 10 years now with a variety of dogs! My experience with different breeds of dogs has shown me that all dogs have different needs to be met. My own dogs has taught me to always be aware of everything and to always be there for them. I enjoy being able to connect with animals and will make your dog my first priority! I will be wearing a mask when dog walking or sitting and will be following the CDC guidelines for COVID-19I am a student at Seattle University and all classes are online so I am free whenever you need a sitter or a walker :) Please let me know if you have any questions. Any time, currently I am unemployed and am taking classes online, so as long as I get a heads up I will be able to do whatever you need! I have a fenced place in a family and pet friendly neighborhood. I will figure out what else can be dog-proofed and to make sure that they is nothing they can get into.
About: While I don’t have extensive professional experience caring for other people’s pets, I have been around animals my entire life. My family has always had either a cat or a dog, which has given me experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets and understanding their needs. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, from mornings through evenings. Since I am not working at the moment, I have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting or dog walking for extended periods as needed. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every client’s pet. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while they are with me.
About: So my name is Aydin and I’d consider myself a pet care & housesitting professional at this point. I’ve used TrustedHouseSitters and Rover for over a year not to live all around the Puget Sound basically for free. I’ve completed over 20 housesits and a handful of dog-walking gigs so far and managed to keep a 4.9 star overall rating😋 I care deeply about the animals I take care of and often grow a close bond to them☺️ I promise your pets and home are in good hands with me if you choose to hire me. I always send lots of pictures if requested and try to be on top of communication at all times. After doing this full time and truly falling in love with Seattle over the last year I’ve decided to get myself a small studio apartment there so I can have a space of my own and a real address😂 but I hope to continue doing rover with anyone who needs any help at all🫶 Currently I'm in Seattle petsitting a sweet cat from December 29th through February 5th. I'll be taking care of three dogs in Vancouver, WA in February. I provide as much enrichment for your pet as you'll allow! I love going on walks and runs with dogs, love taking dogs to the dog park and just letting them run around or chase their ball. I can provide bathroom breaks as frequently as you'd like, and I love giving treats to them often. I love cuddling and petting almost any animal, love playing tug, and just doing whatever makes them happy:)
About: I may be newer to professional pet sitting, but I bring a full year of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I’m patient with puppies as they learn, gentle with seniors who need a slower pace, and comfortable giving oral medications when needed. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and understood — and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my week — I set aside time every day for walks, play, and check-ins with the pets I look after. I plan my schedule around their needs so I can give them steady attention, whether it’s a morning potty break, an afternoon walk, or evening cuddles. Keeping them safe, happy, and loved is something I enjoy building into my routine I make every effort to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. In my home: I create a calm space where pets can relax, play, and stick to their usual routine. I provide regular walks or yard time, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of cuddles or playtime based on their personality. I keep an eye on them at all times and make sure they have a cozy spot to rest.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Indianola
Ashley was so fantastic with my pup! She was enthusiastic and knew how to care for a dog with anxiety. I most appreciated the willingness to follow my instructions well, and she really eased my mind around ensuring my dog took her time-sensitive meds correctly while I was away. 10/10 sitter services, highly recommend! Thanks Ashley!!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Indianola is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 11,769 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Indianola. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
