About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Both being surrounded by 4 dogs and 2 cats my entire life I know how to cater to each pets personality and make them feel safe! I’ve had experience with senior dogs as well as young pups and know the patience needed for each pet!! I am currently in between graduating and looking for another job for my career. I am currently available all days of the week and am willing to do early mornings and late nights! I will make sure to study my environment and ensure that I can understand your pets to the fullest! I am a guest in their home and will treat it as such as well as make them feel comfortable with me in it✨
“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and also the first time leaving my 4 month old kittens overnight. Lana was great! Shes super friendly and nice! The kittens loved her and she sent lots of photos to let me know they were okay and happy! I would definitely use Lana again!!”
“Jordyn was amazing with my pitbull Leah! She really cared about her routine and well being. My dog has a lot of separation anxiety so when I left she didn’t eat much. Jordyn kept me informed and even went out of her way to cook her some chicken and rice to help her to start eating again and help stomach issues. Leah is also very strong and can pull hard at times and she had no issues walking her. I have been so scared to leave my dog with someone for this long (6 nights). So I feel so happy I found Jordyn so I can vacation without being nervous about Leah. I recommend 100%!”
“Trustworthy and professional dog sitter. She provided regular updates with photos, maintained a clean environment, and followed all care instructions. It's evident she genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Will definitely book again!"”
“Annett is wonderful and I’d recommend her to anyone! She stayed with our two sphynx cats for 10 days while we were in Europe. She took the time to really bond with them and we felt so much better knowing they were getting plenty of attention and care while we were away. She had excellent communication and her daily updates brought smiles to our faces every time!”
“I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.”
“Trista came and helped out with a last minute request to watch my 3 Pom’s (including one with pretty bad separation anxiety 😬) while I was at a wedding. She was very responsive, on time, and flexible! If I’m ever in the area, I will definitely reach out again if I need a sitter! 😊”
About: Over my life I have had 5 cats, 5 dogs ranging from small yorkies to pitbulls and a golden doodle. I would usually take responsibility for these animals like taking them outside on walks, feeding them, buying the toys they love to play with. Overall I can’t remember a time in my life where a pet was present around me in my home. Pet care fits into my daily routine easily I’d say, I am a freshman attending Rutgers New Brunswick and I do have a job but it’s not daily. I have a fenced in backyard that I used for all my dogs and if they got tired of just roaming the same backyard I’d take them on walks when they wanted it. I put them to sleep in their crates and feed them when it is time. My cats are pretty free and only bother me if they want to use the backyard or want food, but I like to keep them entertained so I play with them using the toys I’ve bought.
“Brigid was extremely professional and thorough taking care of our dog. She made sure he had everything he needed, from walks, food, and attention (most importantly). She provided regular updates along with pictures to us and it was apparent that our dog felt safe and sound. Highly recommended.”
About: I have sitter for mores than 20 years to family and friends little ones. I like to walk and cuddle with them. Playing and fetches at the park. Training and teaches new tricks I work full time but able to walk them early in the morning and afternoon. available to sleep over at sitter house. I follow instructions and be on time at their house I have a small dog and able to stay with them at home. I can take care and give them medicine if it’s necessary
“Erin recently stayed in our home for several days with our pup. She provided exceptional care for both our dog and our home. She left the house in perfect condition, and it was clear that my dog thoroughly enjoyed her time with her. She provided photo updates throughout the stay, which gave me additional peace of mind. Erin is everything you could ask for in a sitter; she is a rare find and a true gem!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Animals are a passion of mine, as well as traveling, music and nutrition. The slogan Eat, Play, Love is a spin off of my favorite Eat, Pray, Love. I grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. I loved each & every one of them. When I got older I turned my passion into a form of income. I’m a former kennel-hand. I’ve been a house/ pet sitting for years now but just as a side job & usually by word of mouth. Now I’ve turned it into a full-time business. I’ve dealt with breeds ranging from golden retrievers and labs to rottweilers and pitbulls to chihuahuas and french bulldogs. I believe I am fully capable to properly and lovingly take care of your furry friend(s) ! I walk many dogs throughout the week. I housesit whenever someone needs me. Then at home, I help out with my family’s dogs. I’m really flexible, I’m willing to work weekends & holidays as well. I care for your furry friends like they’re my own, with lots of love. I pride myself on leaving a home better than I found it.
“Thanks to Vanessa, we had one less thing to worry about during our recent trip. She took great care of the boys and a few things around the house. Logistically, her work place being close to our house, gave us the assurance that she is closeby if needed during her working hours. The boys loved her so much, they went crazy when she had dropped by later to collect a few stuff she had left behind.”
“Alexyss was absolutely amazing. Our dogs are our babies and we have never left them with anyone other than Family, but after Alexyss was recommended to me by someone I trust, we decided to set up a meet and greet. It went very well and We felt comfortable and knew that our boys were in good hands. Alexyss’s history working in emergency vet offices was extra reassuring and honestly one of the main reasons I felt so comfortable. She was very communicative, thorough, and left our home in perfect condition. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust!”
About: I've taken care dogs for 5 years. I have extent knowledge of caring for elderly dogs. But I care, feed, and walk for all dogs. I currently work full time so I can walk dogs after work and on weekends. I can also dog sit on the weekends as well. When in my clients home I'm very attentive to the pets. I'm very careful on entering or exiting and following any instructions left for me.
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our dogs, Lila and Cash. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Lila can be particular and Cash is still a puppy with plenty of energy, but she handled both of them so well. We came home to two happy dogs and had total peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter 💕”
About: Ive been giving out love to every pup possible, for as long as I can remember. Dogs have been my true passion all my life and nothing makes me happier, than getting to meet new ones and give them love. I am a vet tech and absolutely love what I do. Caring for animals of all size, age, and condition is what makes me happy. With being a vet tech, I have experience with administering medication, care of many health conditions, and caring for dogs of all sizes and age. I do work full time, but have a pretty flexible schedule of days and times. My work schedule is the same weekly with alternating Saturdays. I feed pets and keep to their schedule, when it’s breakfast or dinner time for them. I also give lots of attention, walk, and play with them.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ironia is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ironia
I didn't give Brigid an easy first go-round...my rescue had only been with me ~2 weeks before I needed to go see family for a long weekend. So both my pups were still getting used to each other and adapting to this new normal...and then mom LEAVES!!? She handled them both so well, calmed all of my anxiety because she sent SO many pictures and little "what they've done today" summaries. She even left a family event early because they were causing havoc in my apartment! It's exactly what I've been looking for in a sitter for my babies. :) She is wonderful!!
River was really amazing with both of my pups, one a senior that needed oral medication and eyedrops. I had a last minute travel for a funeral and she was able to come on a short notice and be comfortable with all their demands. I really appreciated her photos and feedback after every check in, really thankful!
Trista came and helped out with a last minute request to watch my 3 Pom’s (including one with pretty bad separation anxiety 😬) while I was at a wedding. She was very responsive, on time, and flexible! If I’m ever in the area, I will definitely reach out again if I need a sitter! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 12,169 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ironia. 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 Ironia 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 Ironia 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 Ironia 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.

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.
