Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!

Adrianna was great! She followed our cats’ particular feeding instructions, stayed for the full half hour, and sent us plenty of pictures and updates. She was also very timely.

I am so happy with the care Jaron provided for my pets! He responded promptly to my initial messages and sent me detailed updates and pictures with each visit. He is a responsible and caring pet sitter. I have booked with him 2 more times.

About: I have always had a dog in my family since I was born! I had dog sat for friends and coworkers for as long as a week at a time. I am working full time with a non profit so my hours are pretty flexible. I would take care of pets in the morning before I go to work and they would be my first stop when I head home. I would respect the clients property and their rules and routines! Making sure everything is clean if not cleaner when how I found it! Nothing is better then coming home from a trip to a clean place!

Zoe did a great job taking care of our big pit bull and our ornery terrier puppy this last week. She did an excellent job of letting us know when there were concerns, brought in packages from the porch, and even offered to clean up the muddy paw prints that our boys trekked in while we were gone. Definitely plan to use this service (and request Zoe if possible).

Megan was able to make a home visit in the middle of the day on short notice. Though she was there a short duration, she still sent pictures. We could tell our dog was happy to see her again.

About: Hi, welcome! My name is Grace and I would be honored to care for your beloved pet while you are away! I’ve had plenty of experience with dogs, cats, and bunnies. Most notably, I’ve been a consistent caretaker for two energetic black labs for the past 8 years. I’ve also cared for fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon. If you think I’d be a good fit for your furry (or scaly!) family please reach out! I do not currently have any commitments! I’m new to the area and excited to meet some fur friends here. My new job will start September 14, 2026, but until then I’m wide open! Once I start my position, I’ll be working 8 hour days in Urbandale (if you’re close to that area I am more than willing to spend my lunch breaks with your pet). Once I’m back from work for the day I am ready to play! Coming home to an animal friend is one of the best feelings, and I want to give your pet all the love possible! I feel very comfortable being away from home. I love getting to help families keep their animal loved ones in a place they are familiar with. Whether you have a fenced in yard or no yard at all, I always get play time in every day. I love watching pets’ personalities blossom in their own space.

Austin was fantastic to work with a did a great job watching our kitties. He was able to get our shy kitty to come out with just 3 visits and some of our family hasn't even been able to see him yet. He sent great pictures and went above and beyond for us. Would highly recommend using Austin to watch your pets when out of town!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always loved being around pets, and that passion has stayed with me into adulthood. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for friends and family, caring for their furry family members as if they were my own. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of affection, or simply keeping them company. I’ve missed pet sitting and am excited to get back to doing something I genuinely love. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. If you're looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and who will treat your pets like family, I'd love the opportunity to help. I am currently working full time in a position that works from home. I have flexible hours and would be available most of the day for drop ins. I have two cats of my own that I love with my WHOLE heart. Currently looking to do drop ins as my babies aren’t super comfortable around other pets.

About: I’ve always grown up around lots of pets, all my friends and family have dogs and cats, I adore them all! I am very comfortable around all animals, and have had many growing up even down to turtles and ducks :) I don’t currently have any of my own due to apartment living, but I do well with active dogs, cuddles from all pets, as well as young pets who need more attention. I currently work retail with working almost no evenings, so I am free for check ins and walks most afternoons and evenings. As for stays and house-sitting, I can make my schedule more flexible, just ask! I cater to each pet as they need, and to keep them as happy and comfortable as possible when caring for them! I follow instructions easily and am confident in crating as needed and knowing when they get antsy and need more activity!

The care my kitties received was exceptional! Time was actually spent with them so they were able to warm up and get attention - and they loved their new friend. I enjoyed and looked forward to the pictures after each visit, they were always so cute and sweet. Communication was excellent, I didn't ever worry about the cats while we were away.

Went above by cleaning up messes when the fur babies over ate and brought in packages off the porch to secure them. Reliable, trustworthy, and completed care as requested. Thankful to have the love provided to our 3 cats when we couldn't.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Saylorville on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 525 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Saylorville. 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 Saylorville. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
