“Our first visit was Samantha was excellent. My two dachshunds are usually nervous around new people, but they liked Samantha right away. She took her time to let the dogs relax and come to her. She was kind and gentle, and that made a huge difference. The pups quickly felt relaxed and calm. I look forward to working with Samantha this fall!”

About: I have several years of training by and experience with handling and caring for pets. I have experience with all different animals from being a dog trainer, working in vet clinics to working with large farm animals. I’m currently looking for early morning opportunities and evening opportunities. I’m also open to overnight stays as needed. I can be flexible in those early and evening hours! I provide lots of care for your animals, if they need any maintenance (nails clipped, ears cleaned, medications, etc.) I’m totally comfortable with that from my work experience. I love to spend lots of quality time with your pet and get to know them and what they need!

About: I have had pets all of my life and love every one I meet. From puppies to older dogs to cats! I can administer medication in pill and liquid form. I miss my pets at home and would love to spend quality time with your pets when you can’t! For drop-ins and dog walking I can go before and after my part-time job and classes at ISU. My job is extremely flexible so I can take days off if necessary or leave partway through my day! Overnight stays are very easy for me to fit into my schedule and would enjoy the time with your pets to give you the relief you need while away! I have house sitting experience, and spend all day at the house interacting with your pets! I try to replicate their normal experiences because I want both them and you to feel like they are in great hands! I have an older dog at home and a puppy at school, so I am well versed in various age ranges!

About: I genuinely love and care about all animals! I am a nurse, and my husband is a British geologist which means I’m currently alternating living in two countries. I am only working three months of the year, so that leaves my schedule quite flexible! I’m positive, kind, adventurous and fun, and also intuitive, patient, respectful and tidy! I love to walk and hike so I thought why not take someone’s fur baby with me to help break up their day! (Calendar notes: I may be in the States for the last 3 weeks of January 2027, and available, so please check back as it gets closer to those dates:) Currently, my schedule is quite flexible. I can accept early morning thru late night, any day of the week. Just ask and I’ll let you know if I’m free! I am not currently able to care for pets in my home, but would love to do nice fun walks, and overnight, or drop-in care, playtime, and cuddles!

About: I have lived on a farm for my entire life up until now, and have only moved to town because of college. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and have previously owned horses, cows, chickens, donkeys, goats, etc. I have also cared for my neighbors and family friends’ cats and dogs throughout the past few years during vacations. I am confident in my ability to care for any kind of animal. I have had puppies, senior dogs, active dogs, and couch potatoes. I am also happy to be patient with nervous dogs, as I have one of my own and understand that it can be hard to find someone who will do so. I am currently going to college, and all of my classes are in the afternoon. This leaves plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to do things like care for pets. On the weekends, I am usually around because I live at home with my mom. I am more than happy to come care for animals during the day, which could include things like playing with them, walking them, feeding/ watering, and whatever else they may need.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with all ages of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am one of the first people my friends call when they need someone to check on their fur baby! I work from home and am off at 4pm every weekday and take an hour lunch from 11am-12pm so anytime I am not working, I can care for your pet. I will offer care to pets outside of my home as to not upset the daily routine of my cats. I am flexible depending on the client's needs. I always create a safe and loving space for the fur babies that I care for whether it be for a walk, a quick visit, or for house sitting.

About: I have taken care of high-maintenance dogs for 6 years now! I have had 2 dogs, 1 miniature schnauzer and one bichon frise. My schnauzer was a rescue. As she got older, she grew blind and needed eye drops twice a day, medicine twice a day, and eventually food substitutes. My bichon frise was also a rescue, and was described with CDB ( canine dysfunctional behavior). This is what they use to describe dogs with autism-like behaviors. With him, I had to be sure I didn’t get in his face, make loud noises, or expose him to high-stress environments. I put in a lot of work to ensure they lived their best lives, and I would absolutely give the same care to your babies! I am a current cosmetology student. I am at school 9-4 Monday-Friday. I don’t currently have a job outside of school, so I am completely free outside of class! I currently live in a pet friendly apartment. People are always taking the dogs on walks around my neighborhood, and there is a nice pond with lots of room to roam around! I also have a front door leading straight outside, so your dog wouldn’t have to face staircases or hallways.

About: For several years, I’ve cared for friends dog while they are away and needing someone to provide care, either extended in home stays or just popping in. I had a dog when I was growing up, and I loved being able to take her on walks and little adventures, now I just have cats. I enjoy walking dogs and taking them to the park for some enrichment and exercise! Providing some time during the day to keep your pet company is something I love to do. As a pet owner, when I'm away for longer than normal, it always makes me feel better knowing my pets have someone to check in on them, so I love to do that for others when I can! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I am available for daytime care during the work day, as well as last minute care needs! I am happy to take dogs on walks, or to the dog park, and provide engaging play and attention. For cats, I'm happy to follow their cues, hanging out nearby, providing opportunities to play, and come get some affection if they want. I pay close attention to animals and their needs, responding quickly to any cues they are giving me about what they may want or need. If a dog seems stressed, we will head back home and get back to a comfortable space. With cats, I always let them set the pace and get comfortable.

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Ly ( pronounced Lee) and I am a seasoned vet tech turned vet student at ISU! I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry (or feathery, scaly, or hoofed!) family members behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I have 9 years of experience working in critical care in ER and ICU settings, most recently at the UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital, the #1 vet school in the country. I’m Fear Free Certified, CPR certified, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages with special needs or medical conditions. I also offer nail trimming drop- ins! Beyond my professional life, I’ve shared my home with all kinds of animals, including chickens, dogs, cats, tortoises, and even farm animals, so I understand how much each pet’s unique personality matters. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and gentle, I can help! Their happiness and safety will always be my top priority! I am currently a full time student with classes from 7 am- 5pm weekdays. I prefer check-ins and quality time vs overnight stays at the moment as I have a small older dog of my own. But am open to it for the right client. In the past, clients have allowed me to bring my pup along for overnight stays so please let me know if that is an option. Nonetheless, let me know your pet’s needs and I’ll try my best to help! Of course, caring for every pet is unique. I will work with you and your pet's usual schedule to ensure their needs and yours are being met to perfection! My time as an ER tech taught me the importance of being prepared and cautious, thus I do require parents to fill out my own version of an intake form, which basically outlines your pet's medical history, preferred veterinary ER, medical insurance information, emergency care cost approval, and at least 2 emergency contacts if I am unable to reach you. All of which is to ensure that I am best equip with the tools to get your pet the help they need as soon as possibly if an emergency should arise.

About: I grew up taking care of dogs on our family farm. I was responsible for feeding, watering, cleaning, and spending time with them each day. I also grew up with a cat in the home. I love animals and enjoy taking dogs on walks. Besides my school schedule, I am very free. I have my own car and I live on campus. I am available in morning and evening and in between classes. I can fulfill any need that you may have for caring for your animal in your home. I live in a dorm on campus, which is not animal friendly:)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kelley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kelley is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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 1,117 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kelley. 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 Kelley. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
