About: Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I want to make it easy. I'll keep your dog on their usual routine for meals, walks, potty breaks and bedtime, so they feel at home while you're away. High-energy pups get plenty of exercise and play, and calmer dogs get all the couch cuddles they want. As a boxer mom, I'm comfortable with big, strong, energetic dogs, and I've been giving medication for years, so special needs aren't a problem. I'm reliable and quick to respond, and you'll get photo updates every visit plus a short recap of how your dog ate, played and behaved. I'll treat your home with respect and your dog like family. I have a lot of free time on my hands at the moment so my schedule is fully open to pet sit. I can do weekday, weekends, at any time of day. Whether your dog stays with me or I come to you, I keep their routine just like home: same meals, walks, potty breaks and bedtime. They'll get plenty of exercise, play and cuddles, plus any medication they need. If they stay with me, they'll have my friendly boxer Maya as a playmate (always introduced slowly and supervised). You'll get photo updates and a quick recap every day
“Brendan did two drop in visits for my two dogs and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience. He’s punctual, great communication, and follows all of my annoying instructions. He does well with both my senior dog and my younger anxious dog, leaving us with happy pups when we get home. We are booking him again for our week long vacation in August.”
About: I have had multiple dogs in my family ever since I was little. I find it very important that dogs/cats get the required attention daily in order to live their best life. I work full-time but I am available most weekends. I find it very important for pets to get outside and live life to the fullest. I am very passionate and aware when watching dogs/cats at clients homes. They require love and affection. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and giving them exercise.
“Thankfully we found Michaela. Dependable and caring about our needs. Our boy is shy and she followed his lead to make him comfortable. We will be rebooking with her for sure.”
“D'yandra is fantastic! My dog enjoyed her walks and the time she played with him. He definitely make a new friend. And would be glad to recommend her and will rehire again.”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different dogs and I’ve owned my own dogs. I currently have a 12 pound cavapoo. She is the sweetest dog and very friendly with other dogs. My backyard is completely fenced in so your pup will be very safe during playtime. I love to take dogs on walks and be active with them and then snuggle on the couch! I’m currently a stay at home mom with my newborn and my husband works from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am available for boarding on weekdays and weekends! I have a big, fenced in backyard and one small, loving dog that would have so much fun playing with your pup. I am able to crate your dog if you would like, or my house is safe for free roaming.
About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pets, and I genuinely enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to help with feeding, walking, playtime, keeping pets company, and maintaining their daily routines. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your fur babies with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my priority! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time caring for animals. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work best for their needs. I can discuss availability for drop-in visits, walks, and extended care. I understand that consistency is important for pets, and I will do my best to accommodate their routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed.

About: I have 4 pets of my own currently, that are very spoiled babies. I have also done pet sitting for neighbors since I was about 13! I’m new to the area, and have not yet found a day job so my schedule is very open! I am available any weekday and weekends. I have a fenced in yard I can have other dogs around my two dogs or separated if need be. I can work with whatever the pet owner would like me to do for their pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about four years, and owned a cat for two. I’m looking for more formal experience. I love fur babies and have dog sat up to four dogs from one home. Older dogs are welcomed too! Pet sitting is perfect for my schedule as a full time undergraduate student. Most opportunities are over the weekend and walking during period of the day I don’t have class; allowing me to work through out with a manageable schedule. I clean after the animals, cuddle with them, and play in and outdoors. I find myself caring for them similarly to the way I care for my plants at home by talking positivity to them casually through out the day. I also ask a lot of questions to ensure that life with me isn’t too different from life with their owners.
About: All throughout my childhood I grew up with dogs! I truly believe I was a dog in another lifetime. If we are being honest I like dogs more than humans. I always instantly feel connected with every dog I meet and treat them with great care as if they were my own. As for experience, I'm well aware that all dogs do is eat, sleep, and play. Emphasis on the play! I avidly believe that dogs should be shown constant affection. I would hate to be locked in a house all day alone so why should dogs have to be? Just looking for some fur friends to walk and hangout with! I am open to all dogs and am willing to work with all personalities. Pet care is already a consistent part of our daily routine. We schedule time each day for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. We also stay on top of grooming, cleaning, preventative care, and veterinary appointments as needed. Our schedules allow us to provide dependable care throughout the week, and we consider our pets part of the family. I’m new to the area and currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day and week to give your pups plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship! I care for every pet according to their owner’s instructions and usual routine, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I have a small, fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, as well as a dog of my own. Any pets staying in my home would be introduced to him carefully and supervised closely to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I carefully secure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, maintain a clean and calm environment, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Caresse was very professional and pleasant to work with, she followed all the directions and sent pics and updates about my puppy. Thx again Caresse 😊”
About: I have been house sitting for friends and family since I was probably around 14, so for almost 20 years now in total. As I got older, I started pet sitting for others outside of my regular friend/family group, and I just never stopped. I have frequently taken care of dogs, cats, horses, birds, and bunnies ❤️ With the proper instructions and safety measures, I am willing to meet any new pets. I will help with mail and plants as well if needed. I am blessed to be able to stay at home. I am available almost any days and times, as long as I have some kind of notice. I currently have four dogs. When not inside or outside, each dog has their own crate on the air conditioned back porch(glass doors from the porch open into the fenced in back yard), when needed. We have a large yard with plenty of sun and shade. Feeding schedules vary at times, but for my animals I try to keep the time of day as consistent as we can. When caring for other’s pets I follow whatever schedule they already have set in their home.
About: I've owned, trained and cared for dogs since I was little. I have experience with administering medications and making it as pleasant as possible. I also have some experience with basic grooming and love to brush out long haired dogs to help with shedding. I have a pup of my own that can be high energy but loves other dogs and can’t wait to play with your pup. I work from home so I am free to help out any time of day. I can be flexible on hours and usually I am able to go on short notice. I will spend time with your dog so they get the attention they need. I can take your good girl or boy to the dog park, on runs with me, or anything else that your furry family member enjoys. My dog loves all other dogs and can’t wait to play with yours. I have a large fully fenced backyard that is great to play and have fun.
About: Hi my name is Noelle I’m 31 years old and I have moved back to Charlotte so I am always looking for a furry friend to keep me company and have a friend! Always had a love for pets and dog sitting! I love being outdoors and going for runs in the park! Being a sport management major I love sports and being active! Watching dogs give me the excitement to have someone to keep me company and also have fun with! I always say a dog is everyone’s best friend and the more the merrier! I look forward to hearing from you and working with you and your furry friends soon. Thank you so much for your time! I love to be the person there for your better half while your away and keep them in their comfort zone since their mom/dad is away! I always go right home after work and spend the remaining of my evening home unless I just have to run to the store. I love to go on walks so your pup will definitely get their exercise in with me! I do not have a fenced in yard but I love walking them to get outside and enjoy the days! If your dog is crate trained and needs to be in the crate while I am at work I will do so otherwise I will just leave them out for the day until I get back!
About: I have been taking care of animals of all species my entire life! I have administered medicine such as insulin shots and vaccines, oral medication, special food routines and times, and have even rehabbed kittens, puppies, and wild species from growing up in Rural Texas. I’ve trained dogs and cats alike, and I’ve even done a little grooming. I have all the time and love in my heart to give your pet the best possible care. I work from home full time so I have all the time and availability to give your animal the best possible care! Who doesn’t love furry friends as coworkers? I live in a private, homey apartment with a lot of space and designated pet areas. I have one cat who is a friend to all species and folks, and he would love to hang out or be totally fine in his own space! (I have two bedrooms)
“Chrissonna was great to work with - available, responsive, communicative, sent updates of the visits, and seems to genuinely like dogs, including my own pup. I would absolutely book her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Iron Station is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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 November 2026, there are 4,514 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Iron Station. 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.
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 Iron Station 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
To find sitters in Iron Station with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
