“Kirsten was extremely helpful to help on a short notice. She was very responsive to reply to me. She relieved a lot of my anxieties with having a senior dog. I would trust Kirsten with my dog again!”
“Raquel was great at communicating and taking care of Sage! We knew our girl was in good hands while we were away. Raquel took Sage for a walk, played with toys, and made sure she went potty. We appreciate it and will definitely reach back out to Raquel next time we need a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of my friends pets while they’re away from home so much I’d like to have the opportunity to help others too! I love meeting new pets and learning about their personalities and what they need. I work from home and have time before work starts to help take care of another pet in the morning outside of my home. I can let them out on a quick lunch break too. After work is around 5. I can let the dog outside in a fenced yard or take them out on the leash. Feed in the morning before work and after work.
“Nicky was wonderful with my cat! My cat can get pretty anxious while I'm away and she clearly felt very safe with Nicky. She was prompt with her check-ins and even scooped the litter box even without me specifically requesting it. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Kelsey took excellent care of my senior cat with a kidney regimen. Multiple meds and sub Q injections went smoothly right on schedule. Communication went well with visit updates, would book again.”
“Danny was amazing with our 4 year old reactive Aussie. She listened to all of our instructions during our meeting and made sure that not only we were comfortable but our pup was too. We got tons of pictures and a message after each visit. She was flexible and worked with our last minute needs.”
“Brittany was wonderful! Very responsive to messages, flexible with scheduling and able to help out without significant advance notice. My dog loved spending time with her and I trusted her to take great care of my pup. I got frequent updates and photos with every visit. I strongly recommend Brittany for all of your drop in and/or dog walking needs!”
About: I have a cat of my own who’s 4 years old & I used to babysit for many families with all kinds of different cats & dogs! I currently work two part time jobs so I’ll be available from 12:30-2 & anytime after 6! Also available all day during weekends. I have a cat of my own & I keep any food or glass wear out of reach since he’s a very serious cat. I own cat trees & toys & love to create enriching activities for him.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have had many neighbors back home request my dog sitting services. I am home all day, as I work remotely, and have a dog of Chocolate lab that loves to play but never gets to spend time with other dogs since we are new to the area. I definitely am open to negotiating prices so just reach out and we can have a conversation! I work remotely and will be available to care for dogs throughout the day and ensure they are well cared for. I work from 8-4 however have a lot of down time to care for dogs. I have a patio for dogs to be outside if they want to as well as a separate office space that my dog sleeps in at night. I also have a crate available if need be.
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Currently have 4 dogs: 80lb bernadoodle, 60lb bernadoodle, 28lb bernadoodle and a 22lb golden doodle which I walk at the same time everyday. I have 2 kittens which are fully integrated in our home and get along well with the dogs. I believe love, kindness and patience is the way to be with our loving pets My weekends are wide open so am able to visit and take care of pets multiple times per day. I am physically active so walking isn't an issue. I have a fenced in yard for our dogs and clean up after them multiple times per day. I take all 4 dogs on a walk at the same time everyday for at least 30mins and play with them when I arrive home from work. We have 2 large cat trees in our home which allows the cats to climb, play and sleep. I am always keeping an eye on where our animals are and what they are doing because I love them and want to keep them safe.
“Sarah responded quickly, was punctual for all check-ins, and took great care of our pets. Will definitely keep her at the top of our list next time we need pet sitting!”
About: I have had many family dogs in the past. I have also provided dog care for neighbors and friends throughout the years. I love dog walking and getting outside! I’m currently a college student working part time this summer. I am usually available all afternoons or all mornings and all evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. I am not able to accommodate other animals in my home because of my own cats needs. I will be more than happy to follow any specific instructions and guidelines for your own pet.
About: As both an animal lover and a responsible, dependable person, I take pride in providing exceptional care for every pet I meet. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as pets belonging to family members, and I understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities. I have a 7-year-old and a 12-week-old golden retriever. They mean the world to me, so I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Spending time with animals genuinely brightens my day, and I believe in the physical and emotional benefits of walks, playtime, and quality one-on-one attention. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t see dog sitting as just feeding pets and letting them outside. I love giving dogs enrichment through walks, play, attention, and companionship. I enjoy being active and outside, so your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be cared for, exercised, and genuinely enjoyed. I am currently a student at the University of Iowa with no job, so I have a very flexible schedule aside from my coursework. I have obligations from 3:30–4:45 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, but outside of that my focus will be on caring for your pets. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of time at home, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and make sure they receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in their home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I will follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I will keep your home clean, provide regular updates and photos, and treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect that I would my own.
About: Moved to a big house and that has a huge fenced in yard in Norway, Iowa 15 min west of Cedar Rapids! I’ve raised and trained a shelter dog when I was 10 yrs old. I then got my dog, Odie, and raised him starting at 4 months while in college. He’s very well mannered and calm. My golden, Bowser, is a goofy loving pup who sometimes doesn’t know his size. I love dogs and cats and love playing with them. I respect their personalities and make sure they’re always happy! I currently work from home and I have occasional meetings but I am constantly playing with my dogs and checking on them. I love having my door open to our fenced in backyard so they can freely run in and out. My dogs love water activities that keep them busy. We also love bubbles! I walk my dogs twice or 3 times a day depending on their and mine activity level. I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly active dogs that we love to play. I have kennels for them if your dog prefers to be alone. I can also walk them around my block with large side walks.
“Alexis did an excellent job with Snickers. she stopped in ahead of the date I needed her so she could meet Snickers and we could visit which was very helpful to both of us on the day I was gone she sent pictures so I know Snickers so I knew Snickers was absolutely in good hands. I will definitely contact Alexis again.”
“I needed help giving allergy shots to my wiggly dog and am not able to do them myself. Luckily I found Christian through this site! His experience was priceless! He was responsive, kind, helpful, and took time to show me how I can make shot giving with my dog the best possible experience. He was quick and my dog liked him after and tried following him out the door! That never happened at the vet or when others helped! Very accommodating. I can’t thank him enough for his help!”
About: I grew up with a family dog for 15 years and I adopted my own cat 4 years ago! I am currently a nurse so reach out to me for any possible changes in my schedule I am currently living in Iowa City as a nursing student so please reach out to me to discuss my availability as it may change! Some of my unavailable days may become available!! I can care for pets in the clients home as long as they provide instructions on pet care they will need. I hope trust can go both ways!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tiffin
Ana Clara is a competent cat sitter. She was very careful to check in with me by text and ask any questions she had. She also came twice to get oriented to Snowy's care before her scheduled session, since I had delayed it by two months. Additionally, she tended to Snowy very well, keeping him off the deck when rainy, letting him back on when nicer, and kept good notes and photos. Everything was in order when I returned.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tiffin is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 563 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tiffin. 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 .
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 .
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.
