If I could give Jess 100 stars instead of just 5, I would! I cannot say enough good things about her or recommend her enough. She checked in each day while we were away with pictures/videos, and little updates, our girl loved her, and I’ve already booked another stay with her! She definitely made our first Rover experience amazing and I feel lucky to have found her.

About: Hello there, my name is Ethan! I have two dogs and one cat, but I take care of neighborhood cats. I feed them, water them, bathe them (not the strays because they don't let me), love on them, snuggle with them, walk them, and just in general adore them. I love trying to teach new tricks and rewarding them with pets and (if allowed) treats. I love playing with animals too, and I tend to be quite amused by the way they play. I love making them happy and giving them the attention they require and deserve. I have been around animals my whole life, and I hope to be around them for the rest of it. Every day I feed, water and otherwise care for my three pets. Going for walks at least once a day and playing with them to get their energy out and their daily exercise. Pets, cuddles, and playtimes are on the animals terms, and I don't press them to want contact. I try not to raise my voice with them if I don't have to, and I don't like physical punishment.

Regan was a wonderful fit for our needs and for our elder doggo. She initiated the meet and greet process beforehand to get to know Giles and his routine, as well as sent daily updates with photos during our time away. We'll certainly call upon her again - fully recommend!

About: I have recently relocated back to this area, so I am opening my services back up. I previously worked through word of mouth. I am now in a different location upon moving back, so I am putting out my feelers for what may be needed in my current local area. If this sounds like something we can connect on, please feel free to reach out! I have been surrounded by animals from the time I was a young child. I love learning more about them and finding new ways to communicate with them. I have had many opportunities to care for several different breeds and sizes of dogs and cats. They never cease to intrigue and amaze me. Each one has their very own unique personality traits and tricks. I have had several four-legged siblings and loves throughout my years. My first love was a beautiful, white cat. Her name was Snowball. My second was Frankie. He was my baby stray kitten that I found in my yard, bottle fed, and nursed back to health. Now, I spend my extra time with my four-legged sister. She is a lab mix rescue, and we have an incredibly special bond. It has become my therapy and passion to work with animals, and I truly Iook forward to meeting you and your loves! I recently relocated back to the area, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am flexible with days and times. I have years of experience, and I am willing and able to properly provide the care you need. Each animal has different needs and personality traits, so I look forward to hearing and learning about yours.

I have a large fully fenced back yard with tones of space to run and play. I will make sure to make them feel comfortable and safe. I look forward to meeting your furry babies!

About: I am the biggest animal lover! Everyone I know has relied on me to take care of their beloved fur-babies and you guys should too! I am new to Rover, but not new to animal care! I have had animals my whole life and pride myself in giving the best care. I currently am a high school social studies teacher. As an animal lover, however, I am very much looking forward to incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I have had pets my whole life and can’t wait to meet your fur-babies! I live in an apartment with two cats—Princess and Lilly. I would be happy to provide in home boarding for your cats or drop in visits! My cats are a little indifferent on dogs, however, so it would take a meet and greet before deciding on boarding a dog! With that being said, I can do walks and drop ins before and after school and on weekends. I will be happy to help in whatever way I can!

About: With 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring a deep understanding and love for animals to every pet I care for. Whether it’s my own beloved pets or those of others, I’ve spent decades providing attentive, compassionate, and reliable care. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating your pets like family. I focus on creating a safe, loving environment while tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. You can trust that your furry friends will receive the same level of dedication and attention as my own. I do work full time, but my schedule is pretty flexible, as I set my own hours. My full time job is hybrid, remote three days a week and I travel two days a week. Those days are not set, but I prefer to travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am a great communicator and will always provide ample notice if I am not available, and I am happy to work with you to my best ability. When it comes to pet sitting, I ensure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and at ease. I prefer pet sitting in the client home because this is where your pets are going to be the most comfortable. I prioritize maintaining their routines and creating a calm, familiar atmosphere. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and snuggles, I follow your instructions to the letter, ensuring your pets feel cared for and content while you’re away. I also find it important to maintain a clean, comfy, and secure space. With my years of experience, I understand the importance of communication and will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in loving hands. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention I would for my own pets, ensuring their happiness and well-being every step of the way.

About: I’ve taken care of my household dogs for 18 years. Sadly due to my father’s allergies I haven’t been able to have a cat. But have been around them in any chance I can get and have experience caring for them. I’m working part time but would love to make room for taking care of your pets. I also volunteer at St Mary’s but will do my best to fit your animal into my schedule. I can’t care for pets in my own home due to my family not wanting to be around pets at the moment. But I would love to branch out to other homes to care for your pets.

About: I’ve mostly worked as an RN but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!

Christina was a great match for Sir Gizmo and us ! She is very professional and is just a really great human. She is also very patient as I needed to adjust time frames a couple times. All I can say is if you choose Christina as your Rover you will be getting the absolute best host available. We couldn't be happier with the service she provided ! Prompt, professional, polite and a positive attitude ! What more could we ask for ! We loved her ! Gizmo says she is very knowledgeable and has a special way with keeping him calm as he knows he has separation anxiety. It was obvious he loved her too ! Can't say enough good things about Christina as she made us feel at ease and left us with a great experience. Thanks so much Christina and Rover.com ! What a great service these two provided.

Christina was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated the whole time we were gone and sent such cute pictures of our boy and all their activities. I had no doubt that he was in the best hands possible, and was so cared for and loved. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ironton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ironton on Rover is $55.5 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 57 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ironton. 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 Ironton 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 Ironton 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 Ironton 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
