About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. I am available all times on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I am also available Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoon. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Lauryn, a University of Iowa student who has been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Growing up with multiple dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and love are when caring for pets. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone to stop by for potty breaks and company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll always treat your pet like they’re my own. During every visit, I’ll send photo updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is happy and safe while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and flexible with scheduling. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I’m currently a student so I do have classes everyday but I am able to take care of pups in between them! I am able to care for your pet on week days. I will oblige to whatever fits your dogs needs! Whether that be going for walks, staying in your yard for a potty break, or just stopping in to give them some love!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have yet to meet a dog that I don’t care for and love as my own. Dogs are the one thing in the world that is a constant source of happiness for me, and I can ensure that your doggies are supported and entertained while you are away. I am a current college student at the University of Iowa, and I am home for the summer! I have open availability 7 days a week, apart from a class I am taking on some mornings. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping their usual routine exactly as they like it to minimize any stress. I strictly follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, medication, and playtime. I always ensure your house is locked up and fully secure after every single visit.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had dogs since I was in second grade all the way through adulthood, and I was very involved in their care—everything from daily walks to training. In high school, I even took my dog to the county fair for dog shows and attended weekly training classes, which gave me a strong understanding of behavior, patience, and positive reinforcement. More recently, I lived with a dog that I cared for daily, and I truly miss having that companionship—so I’d love to give that same care and attention to your pet! I currently have cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dog and cat personalities, routines, and needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you total peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I prioritize clear, consistent communication. You can expect regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’ll match their energy and treat them like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐾 I’m a reliable and flexible pet sitter with a schedule that allows me to offer consistent care and plenty of availability for drop-ins, walks, and visits. I typically work shifts from 11–8pm, 12–8pm, 1–9pm, and 10–2:30pm, which means I’m often available in the mornings, late evenings, and during midday gaps. My schedule also varies at times—occasionally I finish work early or don’t get booked for midday shifts—so I’m frequently able to accommodate additional drop-ins or last-minute visits. I also have weekends completely off, which gives me full availability for weekend care, extended visits, or multiple check-ins per day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, so I always do my best to be responsive, communicative, and dependable with scheduling. If I’m available, I’ll make it work—and if my schedule opens up more, I’m happy to offer extra care when needed. Feel free to reach out with your pet’s needs and I’ll do my best to accommodate! My top priorities as a pet sitter are safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I provide drop-ins, dog walks, and in-home pet sitting (I do not host pets in my own home), so your pet can stay in their familiar space and routine. I believe pets feel most secure when they’re in their own environment, and I do everything I can to keep that consistency intact. When I care for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect I would expect in mine. I’m careful, responsible, and mindful of both your space and your pet’s needs. I always follow instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walking routines, or special care preferences. Safety is very important to me, especially on walks and during visits. I pay close attention to surroundings, use secure handling at all times, and make sure your pet is always comfortable and safe in my care. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet reliable, loving care in the place they feel most at home!

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.

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 Tiffin 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!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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 , 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.
