“I can’t say enough good things about Beverly! She stayed at our house to take care of our dogs while we were away, and honestly, it made our trip so much easier knowing they were in her hands. She sent us the sweetest photo updates throughout her stay and kept us in the loop about everything, from playtime to nap time. It was clear our pups absolutely loved her, and they were happy and tired in the best way when we got home. We’re already hoping Beverly is available the next time we need to travel. Thank you so much, Beverly!”

“Justine was great. She did everything I asked, was responsive and left my home very tidy. She wasn't ever gone too long so my fur baby wasn't alone much which is very comforting when you're away. I definitely recommend her. Thank you for taking care of Misty!”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was a child, animals have naturally gravitated toward me, and I've always felt a special connection with them. As a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. My genuine passion for animals isn't just a job—it's who I am. I am a full-time pet sitter with a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute assistance, I'm committed to working with your schedule to provide dependable, loving care for your pets whenever you need it most. Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure routines for doors, gates, and feeding, and stay attentive to any changes in behavior or environment. I make sure pets are never put in risky situations, keep their spaces clean and calm, and provide constant supervision during visits. What sets me apart is my detail-focused approach and commitment to treating every home and pet with the same level of respect, care, and responsibility I would expect for my own.
“Alex is fantastic, I am so glad that I chose her. My animals love her. I came home to my house looking as I left it, clean with my dogs happy to see me, but not frantic. I know that they were happy during my trip.”
“Jacqueline is a little shy in person but she communicated very well on text - she kept me updated daily how each of our pet were doing and sent lots of cute pictures of them! :) She also spent time playing with each pet, and they seemed very happy in the pictures. My cat is usually shy and would hide if a stranger is here but she warmed up pretty quickly to Jacqueline. Our place was also kept clean during her Stay too. Will rebook again!”
“Jordan was amazing! My senior citizen has a history of bad anxiety especially around the Fourth of July with the fireworks but Jordan kept me reassured that my boy was doing great and that made me at peace while I was away, which is all I can ever ask for while I’m away. She sent pictures and updates and I would definitely reuse her again.”
“Viviana was amazing with our puppy, Ollie! It’s clear that she has a true love for animals and is committed to providing excellent care. She’s also knowledgeable and gave us great feedback on what to expect during this stage (it’s our first time raising a puppy). I would have her watch Ollie again soon, and I would recommend Viviana to others in a heartbeat!”
“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”
“Viky was a really amazing house sitter for my cats! She was even able to clip their nails! I got many updates and she was really communicative. I will definitely be hiring her for house sitting in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Irwindale
Tyler was amazing with my dogs! She house sat for my 2 large dogs (one of them being reactive) for a whole week! She followed all the instructions that we gave her. We had specific instructions to keep our dogs seperate from each other because we had never left them before and were worried about how my reactive dog would act towards our other dog while we were away. We are so grateful for her!
Jaylin and Isaiah housesat and took care of my sweet anxious dog, Magpie while I was out of town. I returned home to a completely spotless house, towels folded, and a relaxed dog who was listening to some zen dog calming youtube videos, which I thought was extra sweet and thoughtful. They were great communicators and sent me lots of cute picture updates. I'd definitely book them again!
As always, we felt completely comfortable knowing Gio was caring for our dog and cat. He sends regular photos and communicates clearly, which we really appreciate. He also took great care of our home and followed all instructions perfectly. Having that kind of peace of mind while traveling is invaluable. Our pets absolutely love Gio!
Pasha and Nathan were absolutely fantastic with our home, two dogs, and new cat. They were reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of everything while we were away. All of our pets were happy, relaxed, and well loved when we returned, and the house was in great shape. We would happily book them again.
Sara did such a great job taking care of our cat! She gave him the care he needed, including getting his daily medication. She was also really communicative and sent tons of photos! She also took great care of our home while she stayed there, everything was very clean when we returned. We hope to continue to use her whenever we need a pet sitter:)

FAQs for House Sitting - Irwindale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Irwindale on Rover is $35.31 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 15,141 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Irwindale. 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 Irwindale 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 Irwindale 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 Irwindale 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.

- 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.
