“Alexis met with our pups the day before our booking. They loved her! She was prompt and attentive to our spoiled pups. We got beautiful pictures and updates. She was absolutely perfect for them.”
“This is the second time we’ve had Summer house sit and she’s been great every time. The house was tidy and she even stayed a little later to feed our dog which was so nice and much appreciated!”
“Daisy did an amazing job checking in on Violet while I was away. She took time to meet Violet ahead of time. Sent me lots of pictures her and spent extra time with her when she could tell that she was anxious because of an event happening outside. Definitely will use her again.”
“Alex was great with our dogs. She provided daily updates and photos for us! She stayed overnight at our home and left the house in the same condition as when we arrived. We have Alex book again for October and are looking forward to having her back!”
“Sarah is wonderful! She asked questions & was attentive to my detailed communication. She is conscientious. She was sensitive to my feelings about being away from Sargent & sent pictures & communicated throughout the weekend. This eased my separation anxiety, allowing me to enjoy my time away. She was active with Sargent, which is what he needs. When we got home from our weekend, he slept most of the evening. A tired dog is a happy dog. Sarah has a genuine love of animals & it shows in her care of them.”
About: Hi! :) I’m Hanna, and I’m passionate about providing the best care for your pets. With a flexible schedule, I’m available whenever you need me. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs of (most) breeds & sizes, and I pride myself on my time-management skills. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’ll always ensure they’re treated with the love and attention they deserve. I work full-time, but my position is incredibly flexible, allowing me to adjust my hours or work remotely. This flexibility helps me accommodate your pet's needs, whether it's regular walks, feeding times, or just companionship. I can easily rearrange my schedule to ensure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Additionally, given the flexibility of my schedule, I’m able to employ this level of effort for clients while still ensuring my own pets are tended to, loved, and cared for! I live in an apartment with my two cats, who stay indoors full-time. Unfortunately, my space isn't large enough to house additional pets. However, I’d be more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home and familiar environment!
“Tara was wonderful with our precious Ellie and sent many pictures while we were gone and kept us updated. We had lost our other older dog right before she came to sit and she left us a memory photo and touching card for us when we came home. This was so incredibly sweet of her. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and truly enjoy getting to know each one’s individual personality. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, loved, and—most importantly—happy while you’re away. I’m happy to keep active dogs busy with walks, running, fetch, playtime, and trips to the off-leash dog park when appropriate, while more laid-back pups can expect plenty of belly rubs, attention, and snuggles. I also enjoy working on basic commands and teaching new tricks, so your pup might even have something new to show you when you get home! I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, energy levels, and boundaries, and I make a point of giving each dog individual attention rather than treating every pet the same. I’ll follow your care instructions and do my best to keep their routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for your pets, and I’ll treat your pups with the same patience, affection, and attention I would want for my own. I can’t wait to meet them! Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. I love spending my free time walking, playing, cuddling, and just hanging out with them. I’m very easygoing, calm, and attentive, and your pet’s care and comfort are always my top priority. Potty breaks are one of the first things I take care of, and love, playtime, and attention are never in short supply! I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, whether they’re in my home or their own. My goal is to become a familiar, trusted friend that your pet is genuinely excited to see again!
About: I’ve taken care over many different kinds of dogs and enjoy it! I love anything outdoors and fitness so I thought this would be a perfect fit. I’m currently self employed and have the freedom to make my own schedule so I am always available to take care of other things. I have a son who loves to go on walks. I have a fenced porch as well as many dog parks near me. I have a clean apartment for overnight stays and very spacious too.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small and medium to large breeds. I’ve also cared for dogs at every stage of life, including energetic puppies and senior dogs that require extra patience and attention. My experience has taught me how to meet the unique needs of different dogs, making me confident in caring for any size, breed, or age. I am currently working a part time job and work Monday through Friday from 9 am to 2:30 pm every week. If you book with me at least 2 weeks in advance, I’d be happy to take that time off of my part time job! I will take great care of your dog’s while respecting your home, only going into rooms I’m allowed and only touching the things I need.
“Sara did amazing with our pups! They can be rotten and attention craving and Sara was in tune with them and spoiled them while we were away. Communication was on point with plenty of photo and text updates each visit. 10 out of 10!!”
About: My parents and Uncle/Aunt home raised/bred German Shepherds and Doberman Pinchers since I was born. I learned to take care of them, train them, play with them, and love them. We also had pets in the home all my life. My parents later home raised/bred Shih Tzus. I then found my own Shih Tzu and my daughter wanted a Yorkie. My daughter and I then home raised/bred Shorkies. I currently have my dogs and a Ragdoll cat. I'll never be able to have a home without a furry family for myself and my children they are a great source of relaxation, stress release, and unconditional love. I have complete respect of all animals and of their feelings because I believe they feel what we feel. I am currently working on my Master's in Social Work program. I am also being a Mom to my human kids and my furry kids. I would care for someone else's furry kid like my own. Pets to me love us unconditionally and support us emotionally. They are always there when we need them.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years, playing with them and learning all different kinds of body language! I also dog sit for my friends dogs all the time! I love to work with dogs and build that special bond, any size and age!! I currently have class from 8:25am - 9:45am and 8:25am - 12:00pm every other day! I play softball so I do have practice at 5:00pm everyday besides weekends but it won’t be for much longer! I am available any time between those times and will always make sure to find a way to care for your animals!! I have an unfenced yard but will make sure potty breaks and outside play are carefully watched over. I have one very friendly dog and one cat that doesn’t really care for any animals attention!
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! When she came to meet our fur babies our boys just warmed up to her immediately. She kept in constant contact with me. I have a lot of anxiety leaving our boys at home especially Vader he is older and he did great and she was so good with them and walked them down at the ponds like they love. Vader takes medication twice a day with his meals and she did great making sure he didn’t miss any of his meds he is soo hard to get to take his medication. I really appreciated her staying at our house with all of them. River our feline princess doesn’t socialize very much but she was well cared for too. She even organized my craft room for me. I am so particular about some things and Lauren is AMAZING Truly!! We were gone for 6 nights the longest we have ever been away. I never give five stars because I always think there is room for improvement but not this time I think Lauren is really quite perfect. You can tell she loves animals and pays attention to detail and takes her job seriously. Thank you so much!!”

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.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sergeant Bluff walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sergeant Bluff maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sergeant Bluff choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
