“Lynda was the most accommodating and considerate house sitter. She met with us several times prior to our departure and became familiar with both our dogs. My pups were well cared for and we got daily updates with pictures. The added bonus was I returned to an immaculate clean house - I highly recommend Lynda as a reliable and loving friend to your pets when you are out of town.”
“I couldn't recommend Haley highly enough. It's hard to find people you trust and can rely on - and with Haley you get both. (Plus daily photos and great communication.) She's one of the only people we will have watch our dogs. We appreciate you!”
“Cam did a great job taking care of my cat and watching my house while I was gone for about a week. He left the house clean and everything was in good shape when I came home. His daily text updates with photos of my cat was really appreciated and made me rest easy so I could better enjoy my vacation. I strongly recommend Cam and plan to rebook with him next time.”
“Liza took wonderful care of our dog. She was on time, easy to communicate with and sent photos every day. She asked good questions during our meet and greet and followed through with all the instructions beautifully. She left the house in perfect shape after staying over. I would highly recommend Liza!”
“We had a family emergency and Nickolas responded immediately and put us at ease under very short notice. He went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were gone. He sent us photos and genuinely cared for our animals and it gave us huge peace of mind in a difficult situation. We are so thankful.”
“I would happily hire Holly again! She was communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, gave great care to my pets, and most importantly, my pets loved her.”
“So glad we connected with Deb! The initial meet & greet. we agree is an important step, connecting people, dogs & routines. We have 2 German Shepherd dogs, 11 months old, about 65lbs each. Knowing that she could comfortably manage them & that they responded well to her was important to us all. We needed some what of a hybrid sit, a day 8 hrs, with individual attention & walks. They aren't ready for an unsupervised day :) or just a stop in visit/walk. Deb was punctual & communicatve! Sent photos & video even tidied the kitchen & vacuumed the rugs, which with 2 GSD always needing vacuuming! Absolutely great experience! Its been years since we've used Rover, as we now live in a very rural location & it hadn't been an option til now. Glad we're back.”
“Becca was amazing! Apollo absolutely adored her. I was really nervous to leave him and she made everything so easy. Very kind person who is definitely a dog whisperer. I’ll reach out again 🥰”
“Elise did a good job of taking care of our house and our pets while we were out of town for two weeks. She was quick to respond to communications, followed instructions, respected our house, and left everything the way it was before we left. The pets didn't even act like they missed us that much, which is a big complement. Thanks!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Iris on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 285 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Iris. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Iris 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 Iris 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.
Tip: 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 Iris 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
