“Awesome to work with! Very dependable and a great communicator. So glad she was able to drop in and check in on our kitties while we were away. Would easily rebook with again! Thanks so much, Jessica!”
About: I want to be a vet one day and I have always been the go-to sitter for my family and family friends for years! I love all animals! I am available everyday! I am looking for a steady job right now so I can afford to transfer to ISU from MCC where I currently go! I take my husky for walks as much as she's willing to and she's 13.5! I play with her all day when I am home and I have had tons of ducks and other animals!
“Mary was wonderful! She made an instant connection with my cat, LaTot, who is usually VERY selective about who she warms up to. Mary clearly has a special touch with cats and is truly a cat whisperer! Unfortunately, a change in my work travel schedule means I can't hire her right now, but I recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive kitten nanny. Your fur babies would be in wonderful hands with Mary!”
About: I’ve spent a majority of my life around animals. Growing up, we had a variety in the house (dogs, cats, fish, squirrels). I’ve learned that being calm, loving, and patient is the key to dealing with any pet. Like people, pets have their own quirks and personalities that is an absolute joy to learn about! I currently assist my sister with her two boys. Now that they are both in school, my schedule is much more open. I help get them to school early in the morning, and help pick them up in the afternoon. I have no problem helping with specialty pet needs and care, whether that be crating, medications, or assisted devices. Your pets are in great hands :)
About: Extra reviews/testimonies not appearing on Rover available upon request! I’ve taken care of pets through volunteer ever since I was 8 years old for friends and family.

I’m working part time as I have school and am also applying to other part time jobs (especially acting) so I’d really appreciate a client with a willingness to a flexible schedule I’m willing to stay at a clients home to take care of their dog and be on alert for them and their whereabouts at a moments notice
About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have watched, played, fed and walked friends or neighbors animals. I love and care for any size animal. My family used to own a 200+ English mastiff. I work Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so pet care is part of my routine before and after work. In the mornings, I feed, walk, and spend time with pets before leaving. After work, I take them for another walk, feed them if needed, play with them, and make sure they have plenty of attention. On weekends, I have more flexibility for feeding, longer walks or other activities. I have a fenced in yard and walking paths all around in my neighborhood. I also have an open field near by to play fetch.
“Michael is great - we have used him a couple of times. He is very responsive when communicating and our two dogs really like him (and they aren't the easiest of dogs to sit for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

Kimberly did a wonderful job with my senior pup. She was timely and attentive to his needs, not to me tion incredibly accommodating to some last minute requests on my end. My pup can be intimidating when first meeting people and Kimberly was calm, putting him immediately at ease.

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.
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 Wonder Lake 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.
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.
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. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
