“Makayla did a wonderful job taking care of and taking pictures of my little Gouda while I was out of town! Very thankful they were available on such short notice and bonded with my baby ❤️”
About: Although I am new to pet care, I have lots of experience with many types of breeds and ages. I currently have one 13yr old papillon whom I raised from 12 weeks, and a rescued 2yr old beagle/catahoula hound mix. Both have current vaccinations. Previously, I have 2 senior boxers, a senior german shepherd whom i also raised from a puppy, and a husky who i raised from 1yr old. My home environment is very quiet and relaxed. I have a 6 yr old daughter half of the time and my 2 dogs. I am very watchful and careful with my daughter around the dogs, to prevent any conflicts between them and have had no problems. I have a spacious, fenced backyard for dogs to run around and play. My daughter and I like to throw balls and toys for fetch, play tug of war and run around the backyard with the dogs. We also like to relax in the house. I live in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty of sidewalks for walking. I have no problem taking dogs for walks around my neighborhood or somewhere close by that requires a vehicle to get to. Its a great and fun opportunity for the dogs, my daughter and myself. I also have no problem bathing your dog if requested. I'm Active Duty Air Force so I do work full time during the day M-F. Dogs get let outside to use the bathoom in the morning before I go to work. I can come home at lunchtime to let the dogs outside again if needed. And then when I get home in the evening after work, dogs are let in and out of the house whenever needed to use the bathroom/play/be comfortable. All dogs are fed on a regular schedule. Breakfast before work, midday lunch (if required), dinner after I get home from work. Meds can be given if necessary on the prescribed med schedule. I do not work weekends, and am usually home all day. Dogs are let out to use the bathroom and play on a frequent basis while I am home. Feeding schedule remains the same on weekends as it is during the week. I have a very large, fully fenced backayrd and 2 friendly dogs to keep your pet company. Gumbo, my 2yr old LOVES to run around and play with other dogs. Ophelia my 13yr old is very laid back and likes her space to relax. I have a 6yr old daughter who LOVES to run around outside and play with the dogs. We like to take the dogs on short evening walks around the neighborhood after dinner on cool nights. Gumbo is crated during the day and anytime I am not home. Ophelia is allowed to free roam the house while I am out. I would prefer pets that are crate trained, so they can be crated if necessary for safety/separation. I do also have pet stairs to aid senior or disabled dogs get up onto the couch for a comfy spot to relax
“Arthur was wonderful. I would definitely use her to sit for Paddington again. I am hoping that she will stay in touch with us even if she is not sitting with my dog as she is a lovely person to know”
“Miranda did a great job watching our dog, White Sox. She walked us through the booking process and came out to meet him a few weeks ahead of time to ease the process. It was our first time using an in home dog sitter and the experience was wonderful. If we go on vacation again we will definitely use Miranda again.”
“This was the 4th time Camille has stayed in our home and watched our two dogs for us. She has been amazing each and every time!! She is great at communicating and she sends pictures each day. It has best so nice to be able to travel knowing our dogs are so well taken care of! ❤️”

The average cost of House Sitting in Iowa Park is $23 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $23 per night.

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 Iowa Park 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 Iowa Park 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 Iowa Park 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.
