About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a young child. My love for furry friends has only grown over the years, and I find true joy in meeting each and every one of them. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, or just snuggling on the couch, I believe every dog deserves all the love the world has to offer, and I'm on a mission to make sure they receive it! I have experience in pet sitting and walking, and I’m comfortable administering medication if needed while you’re away. You can rest assured that your beloved pet will be in caring, capable hands. Not only am I there for our furry friends, you can also expect for me to take care of your home while you are away! Cleaning, watering plants, and anything else you may need me to do. I want to ensure that you can relax upon your return. I pet sit full time so I am available all day for your fur babies! I truly treat all of my clients like they’re my own pets and give them all the love they need! I find it easier to care for your fur babies in an environment they are used to, at their home. Making sure they have all of their favorite toys, treats and whatever else they need to make sure their time away from you, while still in their comfortable environment, goes as smooth as possible!

About: I showed pitbulls semi professionally when I was a teenager. I have lived on a farm most my life so animals and I always get along. I'm currently working from home as a Game Developer. I am on a rugby team that practices Tuesday/Thursday 6-8pm and games on Saturdays, so there are a few select times I'm not available. I have a Husky who loves making new friends and 2 cats that are indifferent to others. I enjoy spending time with animals whether its cuddles, active play, or just sitting in the room so they aren't lonely.

About: I grew up on a dairy farm with all sorts of animals. From there I went to college, majoring in Animal Science with plans to attend Veterinary School. I have a lot of experience handle dogs and some experience with cats. I ended up going in a new direction but I still love being around animals of all kinds. I am currently working 7am to 3pm most days of the weeks. I will be able to care for your pet before and/or after my work hours. Keeping your pets taken care of and you informed are my number one priorities. As a pet owner myself I know I would want those things.

About: I have trained my family’s most recent pet especially with potty training and crate training. Now, that I live with my fiancé. She and I got our wonderful golden retriever named Lambeau! I have pets sat and dog walked for family friends for many years sometimes for a week at a time! Currently, I work full-time, but have days off. I provide plenty of care and training for my own puppy and will be able to do the same for yours! I currently live in an apartment that has two small dog parks built in to our community both are outdoor. Many of my former clients or family friends I have trusted me with their own ADT code and a home key as on top of being a wonderful pet sitter or a walker. I would water their plants or do small tasks as well.

About: -I treat all pets like that are my own- it is not just "another booking" for me. -I try my best to keep all their routines consistent, so I don't add any extra stress to their life, since I am sure they are already missing you. -I adjust care to each pet's needs, and I am very patient with dogs who are anxious and shy and also ones that are very high energy. -I send frequent photo + video updates (unless you would not prefer this, please let me know, I am happy to refrain.) & I leave detailed visit summaries and always use the app, so you know when I am in your home. -I am responsible, reliable, caring and trustworthy. I have struggled to find the right pet sitter in the past before I used rover, and to find someone that was available when I needed them was everything. I would love to be that person for you, and able to help you out when you need it most. Pet care fits into my daily routine because my fiancĂŠ and I already structure our day around consistency with taking care of our own pets. Even with my full time job, I plan my schedule carefully so walks, check-ins, feedings and play sessions are never overlooked. Those are my dogs favorite parts of the day so I make sure to treat your pet the same way. Caring for pets is not something I squeeze in, it's something I love to do and make time for. Having pets of my own keeps me in routine of exercise, and attentive care which carries over right into how I look after every pet I am sitting for. Owners will feel confident in knowing their pets are being cared for by someone who lives this routine every day, not just during bookings. I provide attentive, structured and personalized care, whether pets are in my home or the clients home. I follow each pet's normal routines as closely as I can; including feeding schedule, walk times, medications, crate habits, and play preferences so I can keep them comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets get a clean, safe and calm environment with supervised time, exercise and plenty of affection. I also have a friendly dog and cat who are well-socialized and get along with other dogs. If they are not crate trained I will be sure to sleep with them in our guest room so that they will get rest apart from where my dog and cat sleeps in our bedroom. In a client home I am respectful of the space and keep things so pets feel secure in their home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication and enrichment and I always send regular updates and photos, so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I need to know ahead of time if you dog gets along with cats, if they do not, I will need to watch your dog in your home. I also require a meet and greet if your pets will be coming to our home ahead of time to be sure they get along with our dog and cat as well.

About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

About: I have been a dog mom for 10 years and I truly love spending time with dogs. Friends and co-workers have trusted me to love and comfort their dogs while they are away. I am more than happy to welcome your fur baby into my home with open arms! I have a fenced in backyard and large front yard. I live in Taylor Ridge and work in Bettendorf so drop by visits are possible as well! I do work full time during the week but I work from home Thursday and Friday, perfect for mid-day walks, playing fetch and potty breaks. I do not work on weekends so my schedule can revolve around your dogs wants and needs. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! If they get along with other dogs my dogs are always excited for a play mate but I am able to separate them if needed. I have a furbo camera at home so I am always able to keep a close eye on the pups, communicate with them if needed and toss them treats! Doggy snuggles are guaranteed and appreciated :)

On the other days I stay home and work on homework for the class while taking breaks to let the dogs out/play with them. I interact with them a lot and I let them go out side every 1-2 hours to go to the bathroom/play with them while I’m doing homework. I take breaks to play with them whenever I can.

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had one of my own growing up. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, bathing, and general care, and I love spending time getting to know each dog’s unique personality. While i’ve worked most with smaller dogs, I’m comfortable and open to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am working part time, my schedule varies but usually I am working 2nd shift in the beginning of the week and working 1st shift during the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss dates and times and work around my typical schedule to meet your needs of pet care to the best of my abilities! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they always feel secure in my care. Whether i’m in your home or out on a walk, I make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and happy at all times. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, tidy, and just the way you left them. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and cared for like family.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm.

While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.

Lily was absolutely fantastic with Pixie! Pixie is a little neurotic and Lilly handled her so well that Pixie actually gave Lily lovens! Which she only gives my husband and me, so that was huge for Pixie. Lily very quickly earned Pixie's trust! I was extremely nervous leaving Pixie with someone new, but Lily earned my trust very quickly also!!!! When needed will definitely use Lily again without any hesitation!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Muscatine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Muscatine on Rover is $14.43 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 419 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Muscatine. 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 Muscatine 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 Muscatine. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
