About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities and energy levels. I understand that every dog is different, whether they love long walks, playtime, or just want a calm companion. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to following each owner’s care instructions so their pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I am available for pet care on weeknights after 6 PM and anytime on weekends. Whether your pup needs a quick 30-minute walk, some extra exercise, or a longer play session, I would be happy to help accommodate their needs. I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and caring, and I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while in my care. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, consistency, and care. I know every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following the care instructions provided by their owner. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and lots of affection. I prioritize safety at all times by using secure leashes and harnesses, cleaning up after pets, and keeping a close eye on their behavior. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I had taken care of my grandparents animals growing up. Recently had a pet for 3years, but had to get rid of him due to having to move around during the pandemic. Looking to walk or house sit. Would help me cope being without my Chewy. I do have children, but I don't mind training an animal to feel more comfortable around children either. I'm really good with training dogs and have learned a lot through my years of pet sitting/walking. I have experience with all ages of dogs. My schedule is extremely open right now. I stay home with my three children most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. I have a very clean comfortable place for your animal to stay. If they like going to a dog park, I am open to tsking them. I can care for them in my home or your home. I'm very flexible. I currently do not own any animals. My profile says I do, but it won't let me change it. I am at home most of the time so my schedule is full of time to care for your pets! Any time and any day I will make any schedule. I live in an apartment with a back porch. My home is very welcoming to animals and is pet friendly. My neighborhood is dog friendly. I also know of a lot of great places to walk dogs or I can walk them around your home to follow their regular routine.

About: I have and have taken care of large breed dogs like Pitbull's and Cane Corso's for over 9 years now. I have been through multiple trainings and interactive settings with both.

I also can make morning/lunch/ and afternoon check ins due to work flexibility. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I provide daily walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding according to their schedule, and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’ll follow any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Paige, and I’m 24 years old. I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in forensic studies with the goal of becoming a crime scene investigator. 🕵️ I currently work two jobs and now a third to look for a little extra income to save for my new home. My love for animals began when I was a child and has only grown over the years. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and even lizards! Because of that, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience providing overnight dog-sitting services for families through other pet-care apps. This has allowed me to work with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines while giving pet parents peace of mind when they’re away from home. I also have two furry companions of my own—a Mini Dapple Dachshund named Bennett and a sweet cat named Ruby. 🥰 They mean the world to me, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I would love the opportunity to provide them with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own! 🐾❤️ I work part time and I’m in college. I can find time between classes and work to take care of your pet. I can also stay additional nights or days as well. I can assure you that your pet will be loved and taken care of! I can provide dog toys if given permission and I will always make sure your pet is happy.

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently a full time student at FGCU. However I only have closes on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am available any time when I don’t have class. I work part time at a babysitting company, however I make my own schedule and therefore am very flexible! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Iona

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Iona is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 1,706 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Iona. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Iona. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
