“Couldn't have played out any better! We will definitely be asking Desi back. She's the best Sioux City Pet Sitter anyone could ask for. Plus, she's a great communicator. Desi sent us photos right away and we could tell our dogs instantly loved her!”
“While experiencing a flight travel delay returning home from a trip and my current dog sitter being unavailable I appreciated the response time and willingness to help out my pup for a potty break and brief activity while I made my way home. Thank you!! I will definitely be a repeat customer”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and absolutely adore them. I grew up with my golden retriever, who was by my side for 18 years, so I know how special the bond with a dog can be. These days, I spend lots of time with my in-laws’ Bernedoodle, Al, who I love babysitting and taking care of. I’m very active and love getting outside for long walks, hikes, and adventures, but I’m equally happy spending time cuddling and keeping a dog company at home. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your dog like they’re my own! I’m very active and naturally build walks into my daily routine. I take several walks throughout the day, including a long walk every morning and evening, and would love to have a pup join me! I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual routine. I’m attentive to their needs, respectful of their home, and will always follow your instructions closely.
About: Hi, Im Julia! I’m a nursing student, 5-star dog sitter, and proud dog mom of two small pups. They hate being alone—so I totally understand how important it is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and never lonely while you’re away. My dogs are super friendly and used to having other pups around. Whether your dog loves to play or just wants a cozy cuddle buddy, they’ll fit right in. I’m home a lot outside of my class schedule, and when I’m here, I’m all about giving them (and yours!) my full attention. Being in nursing school has taught me how to be dependable, detail-oriented, and caring in all the best ways. I’ll treat your pup like my own and keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can relax while you're away. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! With a flexible schedule, I'm here to tailor my dog-sitting services to meet your furry friend's needs at any time. Whether it's daytime walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddles, I'm ready to accommodate and ensure your pup feels loved and cared for whenever you need assistance. Offering the best of both worlds! I can provide a cozy and loving environment in my home or offer attentive care in the comfort of yours. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I'm ready to adapt to their preferences. Let's create a tailored experience that suits your pet's needs, whether it's a familiar setting or a new, welcoming home!
About: As a dedicated pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, I understand the importance of providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your companion. I've walked, fed, and played with countless pups, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. My goal is to make each walk an adventure while keeping your pet happy and healthy. You can trust that your dog will receive the best care and lots of love while in my hands! I currently work & live here in downtown Jackson, WY. I’ve been here for over 2 years so I know the area well & am able to get around to pretty much any nearby areas to care for your furry friend! I work overnights as a Night Auditor/Manager so my availability for daytime/evening is super flexible. It also gives me a chance to get outdoors during the day so I really enjoy getting outside for walks! To create a trusting environment for a pet while their owner is away, I make sure to stick to their routine as much as possible—feed them at the same times, take them for walks, and keep their playtime consistent. I spend quality time with them to build a bond, and provide a safe space where they can relax. Lastly, I am patient and attentive to their needs to help them feel comfortable and secure!

About: Growing up I have always had animals , mostly big dogs so I am not scared of a big breed. I currently have 2 spayed female cats. I know the importance of giving care to animals as well as their tells that they need to be left alone. I have also rehomed many stray cats in my neighborhood (15+) and have even gotten some spayed. I am looking to do pet care on the side for some extra money. I am a full time college student (online) and being able to get some extra money for grad school is what I am searching for. I typically work throughout the week 7 hours at most. However I do have a partner that is home a couple hours earlier then I. If scheduled in advance I can adjust my schedule to. are you feel comfortable. I am a manager at my job so schedule adjustment is typically easier for me. I have a large yard, however it is not fenced so I could walk the dog on leash. My house has two separate rooms, spacing animals apart is no issue. I typically feed my own animals two times a day. I can provide walks , potty breaks, feeding, and indoor play.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rafter J Ranch
Julie was perfect! She was very prompt with her responses. She arrived on time and followed instructions thoroughly, & although my dachshunds have a lot of anxiety, they were calm and comfortable enough to go for a short walk with Julie. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
