“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.”

“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!”


“I had a big order for Alana, and she was amazing. While I was away for several days, not only did she take care of my dog, my cat, and my bird, but she also took care of my entire flock of ducks! She was timely and had wonderful communication with me. I got a picture of my pets every day, and I was never worried for a moment. Very well done, she deserves all 5 stars.”
“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Anna was perfect! My two kitties so appreciated her visits and I appreciated coming home to happy girls! Anna was punctual everyday even w the holiday and bad weather and very communicative. I'd use Anna again without hesitation :)”

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.
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. :)
“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.”

“Lisa was wonderful as always. Even our timid cat will come out to visit with her, which is difficult to achieve! We appreciate being able to go on vacation without having to worry about their care, knowing they are in good hands.”

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!
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: Do you have a sweet fur baby who wants room to run and sniff and play with other dog friends? I offer kennel free, constant care, in home dog boarding. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover excited to offer in-home boarding and doggy daycare. I've spent years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—whether it’s through helping friends and family or volunteering with local shelters. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or special care. Creating a safe, fun, and loving environment is my top priority. Your dog will be treated like part of the family—whether we’re playing in the yard, going for walks, or just relaxing together. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you're away, and I’m here to provide that for you and your pup. Let's do a meet and greet at a local park here in Kingston. Dogs are a part of my everyday life and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I’m home full-time, which allows me to give each dog my full attention and provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning potty breaks, supervised play in the yard, or quiet companionship indoors, I’m always present and engaged. My days revolve around the dogs in my care—from mealtimes and outdoor fun to afternoon naps and evening routines. On a weekly basis, I maintain a calm, structured environment where dogs feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, your pup will always have someone nearby to meet their needs and keep them happy. Puppy Care Experience: Over the past 30 years , I’ve raised many puppies and understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need to thrive. I use a potty schedule and positive reinforcement to encourage good habits and build trust. For puppies still learning boundaries, I’ve successfully used long lines indoors for gentle guidance. I also have a variety of dog crates available for all dogs who are crate trained, ensuring a safe and familiar environment that supports their routine. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I live on a quiet property with over an acre of fully fenced, grassy pasture—perfect for running, exploring, and playtime. Whether your dog loves to fetch, sniff around, or just relax in the sun, they’ll have a supervised, safe space to enjoy. Inside, your pup will be treated like family, with cozy spots to rest and plenty of love and attention. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is in a caring, secure, and fun environment.
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: My name is Nikki. I am 29 and blessed run this business with my husband Gabriel (pictured in our profile picture). As I am home full-time, we are able to give around the clock attention to the animals we care for! Your pet will get all the loves, just like at home. We are open to all preferences and follow care instructions thoroughly. In my free time, when I'm not caring for pets, I enjoy cooking, traveling, hiking, the outdoors and playing music. I have had animals my entire life. From chinchillas to puppies, I have loved and cared for many breeds types and temperaments. We pride ourselves on our ability to handle all animals and am confident that my experiences will make a stay with us smooth for both pet and owner! I am a stay at home dog mom! I have wide open availability. We provide dog walks, overnights, drop-ins, and all other services. We're available to do any length of time bookings as well! And are constantly available to meet your animals needs! We have a beautiful neighborhood that offers plenty of enjoyment and room to roam! We also have a neighborhood fully fenced dog park 5 minutes walking distance from our home. We are very outdoorsy as well and enjoy long dog walks to our local beach and park.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Indianola on Rover is $33.3 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 11,981 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Indianola. 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 Indianola 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 Indianola. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
