“Geta enjoys visiting Darcy, Charlie and the family, she gets so excited when we get close to arriving at Darcys home...I feel very comfortable leaving my girl while take vacations or go to work..thank you always”
“Audrey was a gracious host for my dog. She took excellent care of him and his needs while I was away. She even enlightened me that my dog was fond of cats 😳 I had no idea, but I think her care and introduction had something to do with it 😉 I’m not looking forward to leaving town again but when I do, I hope Audrey, and her family, are available to care for my fur kid..”
“Sarah was accommodating for our last minute booking. When we met she was very thorough on showing me around, and did a meet a greet with our dogs , which went awesome! Sarah kept communication with me as well as I received daily pictures that reassured us our furr baby was in good hands. I definitely recommend and will be booking again! Thank you Sarah”
About: I am also a dog parent and have been for over 12 years. My fur babies consume most my days and why not spread the happiness! I have walked and cared for others here in town and have been given great compliments and encouragement to help others thru this app since it's convenient and trusted! My routine mostly revolves around my fur babies. Morning we spend 2.5 -3 hours exercising exploring and making friends. Afternoon and night time another 30-45 min each one for potty and walk. It'll be very easy to include your pups they'll love the activities and best of all find some of what they're looking for 💚 In home ... each have bed/ room/ crate to be in. In your home i will care for your pet as you requested. Feeding the amount as per pet parent, meds or crate as per owner request
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
About: I’ve had dogs as long as I’ve been alive and since living on my own, have had the pleasure of raising 2 of my own. I’m a dependable, caring sitter who treats every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I am currently working part time and have availability almost every Saturday and Sunday. I would love to fill my time with more love from your pets :) I have a decent sized fully fenced back yard and two dogs to keep your pet entertained during their stay. I am comfortable crating your dog, but also allow pets to roam freely as long as they’re fully potty trained.
“Erica was wonderful. She had us meet her to go over details before the actual stay. She was very thorough and wanted to know all about my dog’s typical day. Her goal was for him to be as comfortable as possible. Her backyard is fenced and her home is neat and tidy. It was a very warm and cozy environment for my dog to settle into while he was there. She sent me some pictures of him and checked in with me so I knew everything was going well. I felt 100% confident that he was well taken care of!”
“Dillon took amazing care of my boy! His home is clean, pet-friendly, and a great spot for doggy stay-overs. Monte felt comfortable right away exploring every part of his house and meeting Shadow, which put me at ease. I got updates with photos, and it was clear Monte was having a great time and was well cared for. When I picked him up, he was all smiles and full of good energy. Dillon followed Monte’s complex feeding schedule and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time. (and ear rubs) He truly treats every dog like his own. I highly recommend Dillon if you're looking for a great place for your fur baby to stay! I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”
“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
About: Hello! I have experience with generally small/medium dogs. I grew up and cared for my lil yorkshire terrier, named Tommy throughout most of my youth. He received all the snuggles, belly rubs, yard play, and walks! Enjoying his best life with loved ones.. Once he passed, I have always wanted to keel fur ones around with how much joy they brought into my life! Rover was the best match for my current lifestyle. I recently moved into a new townhome and traveling every so often, I did not want to commit with my own fur baby just yet. This app allows me to love and care for pets as my own but without the long term commitment. Please know your pet will be loved as if it was my own and will be given all the snuggles and attention. With flexible availability, I hope to make your pet at home when you're not able to be there! I work from home Monday-Friday, so will be available to take out your pet throughout the day for potty breaks that works with their normal routine. I am able to take them out for longer walks during my lunch time, and also after work. You can trust that I will give your pet all the love and attention as if it was my own. Play toys, give them treats (if allowed), bring them on walks! I do live in a townhome, but am available at home everyday and will be able to take them out frequently.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in McCausland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their McCausland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your McCausland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McCausland. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your McCausland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
