“Amanda did such a great job with our two dogs. One is older and takes daily medications and the other anxious, especially when we aren’t home. Additionally, she was flexible to stay an additional night when we had the opportunity to extend our trip. She was great to communicate and had our anxious dog snuggling with her. The house was extremely tidy when she left. Our AC went out after a power outage/surge and Amanda was great to share what was happening. She stayed with our dogs and was available even though the HVAC company couldn’t arrive until 9pm. I highly recommend Amanda and look forward to having her take care of our boys again.”
“Desiree did a great job taking care of our Zoye for us for the days we wore gone ! She sand us pictures and updates on Zoye! Zoye looks happy and healthy! Desiree did a great job! We are so thankful!”
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Autumn stayed with our 2 pups and cat. She is excellent!! Several daily updates. Great communication. She is very professional and left us information about how our animals did while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Daniel was great with the fur babies. He was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Both babies are long haired and he cleaned up all the leaves they brought in. He left the house cleaner then when he arrived.”
“Katya was awesome house sitting for our two dogs (one senior with multiple medications to administer) for a long weekend. She provided us plenty of updates, our home was perfect when we got back, and our dogs were spoiled rotten. We’ve already asked when is the next time she can sit for us”
About: I've had a dog my entire life and never want to do without. I am friendly, mature and responsible and will treat/love your dog as my own. I was previously a Pet Host for Sleepover Rover, but moved, and could not longer have dogs at my house. In the meantime, I started my own pet sitting/dog walking business in Southern California. I have hosted small dogs, big dogs and in between dogs. In my building I was the go to person whenever a friend needed their dog fed, walked, kept company, etcetera and I was glad to do it. Seeing those tails wagging when I came to take care of them was priceless. Everyone knew how much I loved dogs and that I am trustworthy. I've had doggie clients of various sizes and breeds for walking, playing, sitting with them and even giving them their medications, and also took care of their homes when their people were at work or away. Now that I've recently relocated to North Carolina, and in a house, I am looking forward to pursuing this love again.
About: I have been dog sitting for awhile, I also used to work part time at a boarding facility, but decided to start Rover and have my own clientele. i’ve had all different types of animals all my life and i have had all of my dogs trained inside and outside. I love having pets and also having the ability to help watch other peoples dogs when they go out of town or are working. I love animals all together and love to help others. I currently need a part/ full time job to earn some money. I can work any days throughout the week especially the weekends, and i can always make time for your animals. I have a big back yard and I have collars and leashes and dog toys and treats and food to take care of them while they are at my house.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own currently one is 8 and one is 10. I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. i work 5 days a week less than 40 hours and i’m taking care of animals when im on and off the clock so it seems fitting to become a sitter and walker:) I live in a home with an unfenced 2 acre yard. we have a runner in case the dog isn’t leash or off leash trained.
About: With 5+ years of experience caring for animals and two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. As a local graduate student, I’m responsible, organized, and dependable, and I lead an active lifestyle that’s perfect for keeping pups happy with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they feel cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll provide personalized care, patience, and lots of love. 🐾💕 As a current graduate student, I attend classes on campus Monday through Friday, so I’m available for pet sitting on weekdays after 3 PM and have more flexibility on weekends! I’m happy to work with your schedule to find a time that works best for you and your pup. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, where your pets can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, and plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I’ll always treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own.
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
“I would highly recommend Caitlin as a dog sitter! We were going out of the country and I’ll be honest we’re a little nervous about leaving the girls with someone we didn’t know with us being so far away and because it was going to be a 13hr time difference. As soon as we met Caitlin and saw both how sweet she was with our girls and how much they loved her we knew they’d be in good hands. She provided us with thorough updates, made sure to communicate often, and was very observant with our fur babies. I could tell that she took wonderful care of the girls and she also left our home immaculate. Thank you again!! ❤️”
“Chrissonna is truly the best, my dogs love her and they are picky ladies! They are so well cared for and comfortable with her that when I got home after a full week away they acted like I had just come home from work. Happy, healthy, and wanting to talk me into snack distribution! I feel absolutely terrible that sometime while I was gone my air conditioning went out, but no one seems worse for wear.”
“Ashley stayed with our pups for a week and was so great! Our pups were happy and well taken care of and the house was clean (even washed the sheets and towels she used) when we returned. Definitely recommend. Thanks Ashley!!💕”
“If you are looking for someone who cares for your pets like their own, book Brittany! She updated me everyday with multiple pictures and even got them a few toys to play with! I will definitely use her again!!”
“Katie was fantastic! She took great care of our pup while house sitting. She sent pics and kept me updated and he was very happy when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have adopted many animals since I was 13 years old and they all have been loved and cared for in the best way possible. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including energetic puppies, cats, rabbits, and some aquatic animals in tanks. I will love every animal like my own and make sure that your furry friend is happy and healthy. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to accommodate your pet into my schedule and adapt to your schedule as needed! I have been responsible for training puppies and working with week old kittens, so I can take on any task in your home that is needed. I will always ensure your pet is safe and taken care of the way that you need.

John was amazing! Our two dogs were so well taken care of by him. And not only our dogs, but our home looked better when we returned than how we left it. I would highly recommend John to not only take care of your pets but also stay in your home. We will definitely become his repeat customers.

The average cost of House Sitting in Iron Station is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $117 per night. 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.

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 Iron Station 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 Iron Station 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 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!
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 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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
