About: Ever since the age of 10 I’ve had responsibilities for our pets; taking them out to potty, playing/exercising, cleaning up any accidents, making sure they have food and water, and bathing. I would be happy to take care of and love on your babies! I’m currently on summer break from college and dog sitting is my only job so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets. I don’t board any pets at my house, but I do go to the client’s home. I can stay over at the house if that’s what the client would prefer, or do drop-ins.

About: Effective 09/10/2025 I will be available in the SW Louisiana area for services! My name is Kloe, and I am a 27 year old RN who is deciding to pursue her dream of working with and helping animals full time! I am enrolled in online courses for Veterinary Nursing through Purdue University. I am also a registered nurse with a Bachelor’s degree from Lamar University in Beaumont, and I hope to continue working part time in this role. I have loved and owned animals all my life. I routinely picked up strays starting as young as 10. I have four dogs of my own at the moment, but I have had as many as 10 in my home at a time! I have a long history of fostering dogs as well as dog sitting, both in the Houston area as a Rover sitter and privately in the smaller community of Jasper, TX. I have volunteered with multiple shelters and rescues since high school, and I have experience with a wide range of behaviors, personalities, and breeds. I have functional/basic bathing and grooming skills, such as nail trimming; I’m willing to add these services on for any new booking - whether it’s just check ins/walks or doggy daycare/boarding. Please reach out to me with any questions, even if you’re only lightly considering a new human friend for your dog! I am quite flexible, and I am looking forward to getting to know new families and pups in the area! My current routine can be a bit chaotic - between my career as a nurse, my vet tech program, and my own personal zoo to care for - but luckily this has made me a very flexible person! I an available most week days for walks, check ins, and anything else I can provide. I will be more selective with boarding or house-sitting so I can make sure your pets get the best care possible! Please reach out for any scheduling concerns and I would be happy to discuss how I could help. I am a very safety oriented person with my own animals and especially with others’ animals. I am very observant of my pets’ behaviors and personality so that I can identify potential problems early on and intervene. I enforce good leash manners at all times and overall encourage polite, calm behavior from my animals. I love to play a good round of fetch or tug-of-war and have no problem work with just about any behavior or play style.

About: I didn’t have pets growing up but I’ve always wanted them! When I started my own family, me and my husband got our first pet cat named Sebastian and we love and care for him as if he was another one of our kids! We also added a dog named Astro to our growing family a couple of years after getting Sebastian, and he is so sweet and friendly. I have learned so much over the past few years about how to care and treat animals and I have enjoyed every minute of it! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m currently working from home from 6am-3pm and I can even stop by on my lunch break! Weekends I have the most flexibility. I will treat your cats/pups with respect and give them the outstanding service(s) they need with a whole lot of love and care! I will take them on long walks and make sure they eat/drink well!

About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!

About: I grew up on a farm where I helped take care of livestock (cows, horses, goats, chickens, ducks) and plenty of pets at a young age. Pets have always been a huge part of my life and are always treated as family. I understand how valuable and important it is to have someone trustworthy taking care of your companions. I am currently unemployed due to a lay off but I will be back to working full time soon. I will be available at any time up until I go back to work. I have 3 dogs of my own which I normally bring for on leash walks or to the dog park and sometimes I’ll bring my own to my dads in the country to let them roam freely.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently share my home with three dogs and three cats of my own. Animals have always been central to my life, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. In addition to lifelong pet ownership, I have extensive experience in dog rescue. At one point I was actively caring for and rehabilitating 14 dogs at once, working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience taught me patience, strong observation skills, and how to quickly recognize changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for pets at every life stage — energetic puppies and kittens, adult animals with established routines, and seniors who need extra time and compassion. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets, including administering medications, maintaining detailed care schedules, and assisting animals with mobility challenges. Most recently, I cared for a senior pit bull with hind-end weakness who required lifting assistance to stand and walk, along with consistent medication management. Providing calm, steady support for pets who need extra help is something I truly enjoy. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine familiar and low-stress while providing dependable care, lots of affection, and clear communication so you always know how things are going at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a work-from-home contractor, which allows me a very flexible schedule and makes it easy to adapt my day around pet care needs. Because I’m home much of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and companionship needs are met without disruption. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize your pet’s comfort and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavioral or medical guidelines. I approach each home with respect and responsibility, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for both your pets and your space, and I communicate regularly so you always know how things are going. With experience caring for animals of all ages—including rescues, seniors, and pets with special medical needs—I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of care is required. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care so your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for in your absence.

About: Hi! My name is Kyra Sims. I’m a psychology grad from Nicholls State University. I have had pit bulls and one chihuahua before leaving home for school. I now have a 2 year old lab mix. I am not a certified vet tech or groomer but I’m very energetic and friendly. I am also very independent and take my jobs seriously. I understand the love between a pet and their owner is just as strong as that of family. Every pet deserves the very best and I will strive to be that best. I am out of school for about a month so my schedule is almost completely open until mid January. Normally I’m a part time employee full time student at Nicholls. I do not offer boarding services at my home but for clients homes I make sure to meet the pets before I sit just to make sure I can get clear instructions on the best way to care for the pet.

About: I am active and love to be active with a canine. I moved back to Louisiana from Hawaii in 2021. I have been an active Rover sitter in Honolulu since 2018. I love dogs and enjoy when they visit my home. My sweet Bear passed away last year so opening my home to care for other fur babies is extra special. I would really like to share the love I have to give with your dog/s. Also, I know dogs miss their owners and get lonely when their loved ones are away. I enjoy being able to keep your dog/s company and make sure they have all of their needs met; love, attention, treats, activities, etc. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals (wild and domestic). I have owned dogs, cats, cows, horses, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, guinea pigs, hamsters, skunk, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, and prairie dogs. I have a college degree in biology and I worked as a veterinary tech while attending college. I work and babysit part-time so my schedule is flexible. I am home to cuddle and spend time in the yard as needed. We love to play outside. I have a fenced in yard with quite neighbors. It is very peaceful in my backyard. I love to spend time outdoors in my yard unless it is extremely hot or raining. I also love to take fur babies on outings to parks and wildlife areas.

About: I’m a huge animal lover with four dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve been pet sitting for my neighbors for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. Since I’m a teacher on summer break, I have lots of free time and a super flexible schedule—perfect for giving your pets the attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow any instructions you leave and make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m experienced with different breeds and temperaments, and I know how to read animal body language to help them feel safe and secure. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want from someone watching my own pets. I keep things tidy, follow house rules, and make sure your pet is happy and well-cared for. If there’s ever anything you want to check in on, I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Iowa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Iowa on Rover is $28.89 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 77 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Iowa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Iowa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Iowa.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
