“Vivian is great! I'm new to Rover and she's been very understanding. She communicates well and followed thru with a meet and greet and her first visit with update and pictures exactly as promised! My pup seemed to love her right away meeting and Vivian even remembered we are working on not jumping on people to tell me how she did. I already have her booked for more days next week and am feeling much more at ease. 😊”

“Justus was AMAZING! She did drop-in visits for our cat for a week and when we came back, he was happy and well taken care of! Justus responds quickly and was very easy to work with. She sent pictures every time she stopped by to spend time with our cat. Highly recommended!!”

“Allison is always super flexible with my last minutes bookings & changes. It’s a huge weight off of my shoulders to know that my pup is checked in on when she’s alone at home all day!”


“Angie was wonderful!!! She took such good care of our (not spoiled) cats. We explained how to feed them, and the litter box cleaning, and she did it perfectly!! I texted and asked if she could let my sister in to get my tax information (I was in Omaha and needed to file my taxes) and she helped me out with that! Angie went above and beyond in helping us with our cats. I can not say enough good things about Angie!! We will use her again!! We were so happy with how she took care of our cats!!!! Thank you, Angie!!!”

“Jenevieve was fantastic and helped on short notice and did a fabulous job. She helped reassure that Albert was taken care of! I’d highly recommend her.”

“LOVE all the care Ash has with my cat, Gucci. I’m traveling for a month and Ash has been very communicative, helpful and supportive all the time. She answers me in a timely manner, send pictures and makes me feel safe with my choice of choosing her to take care of my cat. Best choice ever.”

“We absolutely love Rachel! She kept us up to date on our fur babies, sending cute photos and kind notes with each rover card. Our dog and cat were well loved while we were out of town.”

“Roswell was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She took great care of our puppies while we were out which gave us peace of mind. We will absolutely trust her to care for our fur babies again.”


About: My experience with animals spans a lifetime - from growing up with dogs to fostering rescue dogs until they found their forever homes. I’ve also completed dog obedience training myself, and that knowledge is reflected in my own dogs’ well-mannered, reliable behavior. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including piglets, birds, reptiles, dogs, and cats, and I’m currently expanding my knowledge by learning to care for livestock. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and prepared to handle unexpected situations. As a bonus, I train in jiu-jitsu, so if I ever need to protect your four-legged family member (or us both) you can trust that I’ll step in with confidence. I work hybrid with a flexible schedule to accommodate last minute changes or emergencies. 2 days out of the week are remote and the other 3 are hybrid in the Des Moines area. During my stay or visit, I’ll spend time with you dog hanging out, play outdoors (weather permitting) or give them their space if they so wish - so long as they can be trusted.
About: What truly sets me apart is that I don’t just view pet sitting as a job; I view it through the lens of a dedicated pet parent. My own 80lb German Shepherd/Husky mix is my absolute entire world, and raising a large, highly intelligent, and high-energy breed has given me incredible hands-on experience. Because of my background, I am entirely comfortable, confident, and physically capable of handling large breeds and managing strong pullers on walks with secure, attentive leash handling. I am also deeply attuned to unique personality quirks, whether a dog has high-energy mental stimulation needs, a specific grazing/eating habit that requires patience, or anxiety around changes in routine. I treat every single animal with the exact same level of devotion, love, and strict safety standards that I give my own. Because my own dog is the center of my life, a pet-centric schedule is already second nature to me. My daily routine is built entirely around consistent morning and evening walks, and plenty of dedicated playtime and mental stimulation. Integrating your pet into my schedule is easy because I am already very active, organized, and adhere to a structured routine at home. I am able to do this because I work from home and my work schedule is very flexible. Whether I am stopping by for a drop-in visit, or taking your dog for a walk, your pet becomes a natural extension of my day. I treat every single animal with the exact same level of devotion, love, and strict safety standards that I give my own. When caring for your pet in your home, my absolute highest priorities are safety, emotional comfort, and respect for your space. I will strictly adhere to your specific instructions, security preferences, and your dog’s established routine to keep their stress levels at zero and to give you peace of mind when you have to be away from them. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and to leave your furry loved one in the care of someone else. I treat every single animal with the exact same level of devotion, love, and strict safety standards that I give my own.
“She did a wonderful job caring for my sick and yet very energetic husky. Super nice woman and a very good caretaker. My husky threw a temper tantrum when she saw me walk through the front door instead of Farra 😂”

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.
About: My love of animals started from a young age. I grew up on a farm with a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to pigs and horses! I have fostered and boarded a variety of dog breeds and cats, and I currently have a dog and 4 kittens - so you can trust your pet will be in great hands! I am an active teacher, so I stay busy throughout the week, but I am off on holiday breaks and weekends, which is when I will be most available! I do also have afternoon and nighttime availability thought out the week on occasion. I provide personalized care for your pets by sticking to their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they have. I ensure their environment stays comfortable and safe while you’re away, offering companionship and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. Regular updates and photos will keep you informed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands!
About: Growing up with Great Danes taught me many important lessons. I have taken care of dogs with disabilities and medications, along with young puppies. Loving animals means treating them like they are your own. Currently, I am full time at my position for a remote company which allows a generally open schedule. I do have some travel days but they are limited. I prefer for pets to stay in their home, making them feel comfortable and safe. Along with the pets, I want you to have someone reliable and responsible helping out.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I would look after friends, families, and neighbors pets while they are away. Everyone in my life knows I am a very trusted person. I am currently a student at Aveda Institute Tuesday-Friday, and I babysit on Mondays. Pet sitting is a perfect fit for me on the weekends. I am able to work with any pet and cater to their needs whether they are a very energetic dog or a senior citizen dog who needs some more love. I am more than willing to accommodate to everyone's needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 531 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mitchellville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mitchellville. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
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.
