About: I have been caring for animals since pet sitting for my aunt and uncle’s 3 rowdy dogs as a teen, sometimes up to a month when they went on long trips. I also have cared for dogs of my own for most of my adult life and consider them to be members of the family. My current dog Ron has some special care needs which has taught me to be patient and sensitive to pups who need a little extra care and attention. I would love to welcome your furry buddy into our home and would treat them like another member of the family. I currently work from home so am able to give your pup lots of attention and exercise. I also am a very active person and love to frequent the local trails if that is something you would like for your pup. I have a fenced front and back yard and a dog door that can be locked if need be. I have multiple dog beds and also allow dogs on the furniture (I of course will not allow it if it’s a behavior you don’t want your dog to learn). Like I said, I consider them to be part of the family.
“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.”
“Amy is the best!! She took incredible care of our three babies. She sent pictures and provided updates along the way. Asked questions when needed. We couldnt have asked for a better sitter. She even went above and beyond with a favor and ran an errand for us without hesitation. We cant thank you enough!”
“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.”
“Holly was absolutely amazing with dogsitting my shy dachshund Rudy while I was away. She was so thoughtful and communicative. Could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much Holly! Highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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!”
About: In all my life, I've always had at least 3 dogs - from huskies to chihuahuas and in between. I've been involved with all stages of their life starting as hyper puppies to senior care. Plus, I've helped care for various litters of kittens. I've been the go-to pet sitter for so many family since I was young, and I've loved every moment I've spent with each & every pet! I'm currently a full-time college student with a pretty flexible class schedule. I work remotely so it's very easy for me to design my schedule around what your pet needs! Your pets wellbeing is the most important part! I ensure that every aspect is as safe as can be, and as a cuddle lover, they will be as loved as can be. I'm also a big walker, so I love to have a furry companion when I can!
“Sariah stayed with my two doggos at my place for 4+ days while I was out of town. They got great walks with her and she was an excellent guest in my home. I can back to happy, well-cared for pups!”
“Reid was great! He took the time to do a meet and greet prior to watching Dale, which I really appreciated. Our home was clean when we got back from being gone for two weeks. He sent photos of Dale and updated me often. Thanks again Reid! Definitely recommend and will use his services again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Iris
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Iris on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 291 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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
