“My cat really needs human attention but she's also pretty good at telling when a person isn't interested and gives up. If a person is pro-cat, she will lick and be adorable wanting to be held and petted...until she doesn't. She also likes some people more than others for reasons only cats know. My cat immediately loved Helen during the meet and greet. I could tell Helen can read how to handle her without crossing her "boundaries", and enjoys doing so. She followed drop-in instructions well and sent lots of cute pictures.”
“Kristen took great care of my dogs while I was away for the weekend. She was very flexible and accommodating with my scheduling needs. I appreciate all the updates and pictures that she sent me when she made her visits. I will definitely book with Kristen again ?”
“Kelly is absolutely amazing!! She really makes you feel comfortable being away from home. She took care or my 2 dogs like they were her own and updated me thoroughly on their visits. I will definitely recommend her to anyone I know and request for her on my next trip!! Thanks Kelly(:”
“Alexis is a great communicator and is passionate about what she does! Our dogs love her energy and feel safe when she’s around. We’re always excited to have her around!”
“I LOVE Kristyna! A few years ago, she cared for my German Shepherd dog King, before his passing. And she did an amazing job! Recently, we booked her for our two new German Shepherds, Jax and Koda. Jax loves everyone, and of course, grew a liking to her quickly. However, Koda doesn’t give anyone a chance at a first meeting. Even though he’s a one year old 80 pound baby, he looks and can be very intimidating. But Kristyna was very patient with him. She eventually won him over, which says a lot about her care for animals. She is also very responsive and will go out of her way to help you. Our flight got cancelled at the last minute, and I contacted her in the late night to see if she was available to do one last visit. Kristyna did not hesitate to say YES! I am SO grateful and happy to add her to our family dynamics. Book her! You won’t be disappointed!❤️”
“Emma was able to care for my two cats with twice daily drop in visits while I was gone. Very communicative and gave lots of photo updates. No issues were had and she was very sweet to bring in a package at the door for us. Will use Emma again for our next trip out! Thanks again!”
“Calli was very prompt in answering a last-minute request to visit our dogs. She was understanding and patient. She's easy to communicate with and has a lot of experience. Our dogs loved her. She handled one of our dog's medication schedule really well. We're definitely going to book her services in the future.”
“Christian came for a last minute need when I had a cancellation and was very patient and caring with my cat, who is spicy about receiving her medication. He is passionate about providing quality care for all our fur babies”
“This was my first time using Jeremy to watch my two dogs and he was fantastic! Jeremy was on time and sent lots of photos and videos. One of my dogs can be a little nervous around new people, but Jeremy did well with him! I will definitely use Jeremy again for future dog sitting needs!”
“Ashley was amazing! Our cats loved her and she took great care of our home. We felt so relieved she was able to look after our gatos very last minute. She was very attentive, super friendly, great with communication, sent lots of photos and updates of our fur babies, gave our cats treats and much love. We are just so happy and grateful Ashley was our pet sitter. I will definitely book again if she is available in the future! 1000% worth it. Thank you Ashley!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and now have two cats of my own, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I know how much they mean to you, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities: playful, shy, or somewhere in between! I try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I have experience with feeding, walks, litter box care, and playtime, and I pay attention to the little things so your pet feels safe and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can count on me to give your pet lots of care and attention! I’m currently on maternity leave and will soon be a stay-at-home mom while finishing my master’s in counseling, so I have a flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets consistent attention, care, and check-ins throughout the day. I follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I handle feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions. I give pets attention based on their personality and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior.
“Austin did an amazing job and took care of our dog, Echo, who is quite a lot to deal with. He sent updates via message and pictures in addition. You can tell he really loves dogs and is happy to be doing what he is doing. Thank you!”
“Reese provided second to none services. I recommend her for all the services that ROVER provides. From the moment my Duchess met her, she was immediately drawn to her. Reese succeeded all my expectations.”
“Brianna is amazing we have used her services countless time and she cas continued to respect our home and treat our fur babies like her own! 10/10 recommend! Thank you Brianna!!”
“Fantastic sitter! They took great care of our two dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. We felt completely at ease while away and would gladly book with them again. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Iowa Colony on Rover is $23.54 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 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 August 2026, there are 4,781 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Iowa Colony. 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 Iowa Colony 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 Iowa Colony. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
