About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving medications if needed, and sticking to any instructions that help keep your dog happy and stress-free. I understand how important routine and attention are, and I treat every dog like they’re my own! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to make sure your dog gets plenty of care, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you and your dog(s)! I'm a May 2026 Augie grad who is navigating my first full time job post grad, but with a pretty flexible schedule outside of that! I am free weekends at pretty much any time and Monday thru Friday after 4pm. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and care based on their individual needs and energy levels. For cat sitting, I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm environment so cats can feel comfortable at their own pace while maintaining a clean litter box, offering attention (if wanted), and of course food/treats and water. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, leash handling, litter box cleaning, and any special routines or preferences. Safety is very important to me, so I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and gates, and always mindful of pets’ behavior and surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and in good hands while they’re away.

About: What sets me apart from others? I managed a humane society and owned a dog transportation business. I have 2 girl dogs that are 11 and 3 yrs. I have always had dogs and pets. I’ve sat for friends and family a lot. I put my dogs through training so I know basic commands and how to interact with dogs well. Also I can handle dogs in unexpected situations in a safe and careful manner. I think caring for dogs is fun and relaxing. I started taking care of dogs when I was 3 and have almost always had one or more dogs. My dogs love other dogs. I will walk, play fetch, and jog with dogs. I love meeting all kinds of animals and dogs and have no problem cleaning up after them and following any type of schedule they might be on. We live in a great area for walking dogs. I have 10 years of professional dog walking and pet sitting experience. I have taken care of pets with many different needs. I had my own dog transporting business for a year but I got tired of being on the road. I managed at a humane society for 2 years as well. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with pets. I have a flexible schedule. I usually have 3 days off a week and have lunch breaks on the days that I do work. I have 2 playful, friendly pups. I also have lived with cats most of my life. I understand the dynamic of a multi pet household.

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. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.

About: I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, routines, and energy levels from energetic pups who love to play and explore to laid-back dogs and independent or cuddly cats who prefer a quieter environment. ❤️ I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can count on! Flexible schedule, willing and able to provide check ins, pickup/drop off. I am aware every animal lover has different needs, I can assure great communication and updates as needed. I personally love to go on hikes and long walks. Open large yard ideal for dogs who love to play ball and frisbee. Family friendly dogs are encouraged to stay. Our home does have small children and 2 friendly dogs.

About: Neighborhood pet sitter in Bettendorf, IA. Experience with dogs and cats, young and old, and varying breeds. Able to give medication & other accommodations Also experienced cat owner / sitter. Have worked with some fish and other small animals. I work full time 8-4:30 with an hour lunch break. Happy to stop by during that time as well as before and after work. Weekend availability varies, but I’m relatively open. I usually stay in-home, but I have had dogs stay with me. I will let the owners tell me the dog’s routine, and I adjust accordingly. Dogs with higher energy have different needs than elderly dogs, so I try to be sensitive to that. Potty breaks and walks are usually slated into my plan of care, but always open to hear special requests.

About: I’m always the first to be next to the dog at any event. My love for fur babies started young with family pets, friends pets, and hopefully my own one day. I hold them to a high importance and make sure they’re happy as can be. I’ve been post grad for about a year now, living at home. I’m currently working a full-time job from 7-4. Time away from home is something I do enjoy . Weekends off with an occasional quick serving dinner shift on Saturday, I keep my weekends pretty open. When I’m with fur babies, I enjoy getting to know them, taking care of them like my own, and communicating with their owners like I would a child. Making them happy is top priority while also entertaining myself. Entertaining myself means I will be taking them on walks, playing with them, watching movies with them, cuddles, etc.

About: A Lifetime of Loving Animals 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I had lots of dogs of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them. For 7 years, I also worked on a farm caring for a variety of animals. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ Evenings & Weekends Filled With Pets 🐾 I currently work full-time as an Assistant Manager, so I’m looking to spend my evenings and weekends doing something I truly love—caring for animals! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to dedicate my free time to providing pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. After growing up with dogs and spending 7 years working on a farm with a variety of animals, caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’d love the opportunity to make your pet’s day a little happier while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, responsible hands. 🐶❤️ Caring for Pets in Their Happy Place 🐾 I currently work full-time as an Assistant Manager, and I’m looking to fill my evenings and weekends doing what I truly love—caring for animals! I’ll be providing care in your home, which means your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and stick to their normal routines while you’re away. My evenings and weekends allow me to dedicate quality time to walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and whatever else your pet needs. Having grown up with dogs and spent 7 years working on a farm with a variety of animals, I’m comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and needs. My goal is to give your pets the same love and attention I would give my own while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. 🐶❤️

Katherine was super awesome with my rescue who has major trust issues. It's so hard to line up friends and family to let your critters out for potty breaks when you are away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Rock Island

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rock Island is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 263 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rock Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 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 Rock Island. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
