Mark was just fantastic looking after my boys: communicative, conscientious, and just a true animal lover. He really took the time to get my cats to warm up to him, and just had such a mellow demeanor. Highly recommend him (and will use his services again if you don’t snag him first!).

About: We share our home with a sweet 3-year-old Old English Sheepdog, who is friendly, playful, and great with other dogs. She enjoys the company of all the pups that become family while they’re here. We look forward to welcoming yours, too. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine since I primarily work from home, with occasional site visits . We take daily walks and get plenty pets and playtime! While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs are always supervised and taken out on leashed walks. I recommend bringing your dog’s toys, bed and/or crate to help them feel secure, comfortable, and at home in a familiar environment.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.

About: I started out helping friends and colleagues with their pets, and it quickly grew into caring for high-profile families/individuals who need someone they can trust. I know your time is valuable and your privacy maybe is non-negotiable. I am here to provide a seamless, stress-free experience for your dog, ensuring they get the exercise and care they need while you’re busy with your day. Why clients choose me: • Total Discretion: I have years of experience working with high-profile households. I value your privacy and maintain a low-profile, professional presence at all times if needed. • Reliable & Hands-On: You are getting one-on-one attention from someone who understands the demands of a busy lifestyle. Whether you are just running errands for the day, need some “you time”, family event or stuck at the office late - I am available to bring peace of mind so you know your dog(s) is taken care of. Your dog(s) will never be around any other dogs as your time is solely YOUR time. • Experience: I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with special diets, dogs needing medication & even dogs that tend to be dog-aggressive. I am focused on providing the best possible care for your dog. I’m happy to chat about how I can make your daily routine easier and ensure your pet is always in great hands. Because I work fully remotely, I have the kind of flexibility that most pet care providers don’t. While others are juggling multiple clients and strict appointment windows, I am able to provide a much more consistent, reliable presence for your pet with the proper communication. Since I am not tied to a traditional office or a rigid 9-to-5, I am able to: • Provide True Flexibility: I don’t have to rush through visits. If your dog needs extra time to warm up, a longer walk, or a mid-day play session, I have the time to make that happen. • Offer Peace of Mind: Being remote means I am always nearby. Last minute client at work? Deciding to go-to happy hour with some friends? I am just a text message away. *I do have 2 days a week where I have work meetings I need to attend so scheduling may need to work around that if services are needed during those times.” Since I believe dogs thrive in their own environment, I do not bring any dogs to my place of residence, If I am at a clients home, I set-up complimentary meet & greets prior to any service being provided so we can all get to know eachother & you are comfortable with me being in your home & around your pups

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember, I enjoyed also walking them for my friends and neighbors. I don’t have one currently, this will hopefully help fill the void. I’m available from mid day well into the evenings also available on weekend under special circumstances. I enjoy my walk and helping people. The company and pay are perks. Your furry friends is my priority I only walk one dog at a time. Paws will be brushed and whipped to remove dirt prior to entering the home. They will also be brushed and dried on rainy days if brush and towel is provided.

Jonathan took care of my 10 cats for a few days while we were on a trip. He did a great job and was able to administer injections to my diabetic cat which was wonderful. He kept me thoroughly updated on my cats which gave me peace of mind while I was away from them. I would definitely book him again.

About: I LOVE animals. I believe that caring for them is one of my purposes in life. I have been caring for foster/rescue animals over the last 5 years. I have my own cats and dogs and I have also also been fostering animals through rescues such as Eleventh Hour Rescue and Jersey Pit Rescue. I have worked with all kinds of temperaments and breeds, such as pibble & bully breeds, huskies, terriers, chihuahuas, newborn and young puppies, newborn and young kittens, adult and elderly aged cats, as well as both rescue cats and dogs with specific medical needs. I am currently open to working part-time as I teach during the school year. During the summer I can work flexibly, and during the school year I can help on evenings and weekends. I can additionally help with pet sitting or walking. I can also do house visits in general. I have a fence for my own pups and rescue animals. I can help with crating animals and keeping them safe in their homes. I am flexible and excited to help your family!

About: Hello dog lovers! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Courtney and I am excited about potentially working with you. For starters, I have always have the opportunity to be surrounded by four-legged friends in my life since I was a young kid. I believe growing up with a dog is 100% attributed to my passion and ability to work with many types of dogs. With personal experience owning dogs and working for a professional dog-walking company in the past, I am committed to providing love and attention to YOUR dog. I believe dogs are a part of the family, not just a pet! I will take care and play with your dog and treat your home as if they were my own. Additionally, I am punctual, hard-working, and honest. I hope to work with you soon!

Mark checked in on our 16yo cat while we were away for a week and did a great job! She's on medication now, and he handled it without any issues. He was flexible with timing, easy to communicate with, and sent lots of adorable photos that made being away much less stressful. We'll definitely book him again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Lake Hiawatha

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lake Hiawatha on Rover is $33.3 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 26,355 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Hiawatha. 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 Lake Hiawatha 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 Lake Hiawatha. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
