About: As a pet parent myself, I know how challenging & stressful it can be to find a dog sitter that you trust. I pride myself on making your dog feel at home & caring for them as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets in the home since my dear dog passed away after 15 years, but I am happy to direct all of that love to the dogs in my care. I am a SAHM so I have a flexible schedule & your pup will get plenty of attention. I currently only board one dog at a time, although I am open to accepting multiple dogs as long as they are from the same household/family. My two daughters (10 & 13 yo) also love animals & are very dog savvy. I have a special spot in my heart for seniors after caring for my own dog in her twilight years & knowing the special challenges that go along with that. Our family recently moved back to the area after years abroad so I am excited to build up my client base in this area. Looking forward to meeting you & your pups! 🐶 I am currently a stay at home mom so your pup will get plenty of time & attention. I am available weekdays, weekends & holidays and offer flexible drop off & pick ups. I have a single family home with a fenced backyard. The yard is on the smaller side but luckily my neighborhood has a ton of great walking trails for your pup & I to explore.

About: I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m dependable and attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m also comfortable providing extra attention to pets who may need a little more patience, including puppies, seniors, or pets who are shy or adjusting to a new environment. I’m available for pet care before 9 AM and after 6 PM on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends, so I can provide plenty of time for quality care! I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m respectful of the client’s home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure while they’re away.

About: I am an animal lover since I was a kid. My 3 furry babies passed away recently and I have so much love to give to other ones. During these years taking care of my own babies I learned a lot with them on how feeding them, administering medications, walking them, and more than anything snuggles and having so much fun with them. I am currently working during the week, but I am available on Fridays after 3pm and I am free on the weekends and holidays as well. I have a safe space for your furry baby and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. House is smoke free and no other animals inside the house.

“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I’ve had previous pet dogs in the past, so I’m knowledgeable on their care and can customize it to the needs of each dog/cat! I’ve also worked with puppies and have helped train them. I’m currently working part time and only have school two days a week so my availability is pretty flexible! I can help Mondays and Wednesdays 6 am-12 pm and 4 pm+. I’m available other days and times too just ask me and I’ll let you know what works! I have previous experience in crate training and keeping pets safe from their environment. I make sure to always keep an eye on them and not step away unless absolutely necessary. I also send constant updates, which include photos and videos, several times a day!

Minnie came to our rescue because we had a last minute cancellation. We didn't even get a chance to do a meet and greet. Minnie was able to help us with very short notice more importantly, she understood what own need was and went above and beyond what was asked. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help us with our boy!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ivakota

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ivakota is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 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 November 2026, there are 15,096 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ivakota. 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 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 Ivakota. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
