My husband and I recently had a 5 day trip planned and were struggling to find care for our 6 year old dog and our young puppy ! I was super anxious about leaving them for the first time but after meeting with Jessica and Guillermo I immediately felt at ease. Jessica was super communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout the day of our pups! I never had to guess what they were doing and both the pups had a blast! Jessica was also very respectful of our home, we came home to everything clean and put together just how it was before we left. Our puppy is a huge chewer and she ended up chewing a little bit of our carpet, Jessica immediately informed and showed me, and it was wonderful to have someone so transparent and honest about anything they happened while we were gone. We will absolutely be using them again for our next trip! (As long as they’ll have us) haha.

About: My name is Joseph. I recently graduated from college and am living with my family and sweet Yellow Labrador in Mendham, NJ. I’m available for, and have references for, both in-house pet sitting, dog walking, and pet visits. I love to take extra time to care for your pets, such as giving them extra love and taking them on long, relaxing walks if they like that. I get great happiness from taking care of animals and would love to help out in any way you may need! I work part-time at a restaurant Thursday-Sunday evenings, generally from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Aside from that, I am pretty flexible and can work from the location with your pet(s) or come for visits, whichever the client prefers. I would not be caring for the pets in my own home since I am living with others. I would instead care for them in the client’s home according to their instructions.

About: Growing up, I helped care for my family's dog and regularly pet sat for neighbors' cats and dogs. I now have a cat of my own, so I truly understand the love and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind for a work trip or vacation. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and affection they need to keep their owners at ease. I recently graduated from graduate school and am enjoying a flexible schedule while waiting for my new role to begin this fall. In the meantime, I'm taking on a variety of work, which means I have plenty of availability to accommodate your pet care needs whether that's a regular daily walk, a last-minute drop-in, or an extended stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they stay in a secure, calm, and loving environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.

About: Hi!! I would love to help you with your pet care needs. I have a dog of my own who I have had for 6 years, since he was just a puppy. I have pet & house sat for friends and family members for years, often seen as a good “go to” person because of my love for animals. I’m also comfortable with providing care for plants, lizards, etc. as I have cared for them in the past! I work remotely so I am quite open to working around your schedule. Whatever works best for you will work for me! I walk my own dog 3 times a day so I can work your pet into that, or we can set up separate timing. If my dog is also welcome to stay at your home or on walks, he can be a great companion for pets who want a friend! He loves other dogs, cats, humans, etc. If you would prefer that my dog not join, he can stay home with my roommate. Let me know!

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed a special bond with animals. I was always surrounded by furry friends, learning to care for them. I have a unique connection with cats and dog. They have always been my loyal companions and playful buddies. I can sense when something’s off with an animal and respond with care. Friends and family call me an animal whisperer. I can’t wait to meet your cats and dogs, love them, and treat them like my own! 💝 I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to love and care for your pets. Even when I am employed, I always make it a priority to take care of your pets. This isn’t just a side job for me, this is my passion. This is not applicable as I do not currently take clients in my home. However for your home, my goal is safety and peace of mind for you. I will make sure gates are secured, leashes are buckled and doors are closed to prevent any sort of escapes.

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.

About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

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.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ironia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 12,117 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ironia. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
