“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!”
“Rebecca stayed in my apartment overnight to care for my dog while I was working. She was very communicative. Made sure expectations from me were clear and asked a lot of clarifying questions. She send many pictures of my dog throughout her time with her and followed my instructions to the letter. She is very kind and clearly loves animals. 10/10 would absolutely book again!”

On my days off or before I start work, I’m available for any pet services. I live in a house with a yard area in the back. There’s space for pets to roam around my home and walk outside!
“Monica was great. She was not only attentive to our pup’s needs, but Monica genuinely enjoyed her time with her. She sent pictures or texts to me daily which put my mind at ease. And on top of that, she left my house in tip top shape, sparkling clean! I would highly recommend Monica as a sitter for your pet.”

I keep feeding schedules consistent with what they’re used to, provide supervised playtime, outdoor patio breaks, and lots of affection.

I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for about two years, which has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, understanding a pet’s needs, and I’ve learned how to help with basic puppy training, like sit, stay, and come. I love spending time walking, playing, and giving plenty of attention to keep dogs happy and active. What sets me apart is how much I truly care; I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved and comfortable at all times. I’m gentle, dependable, and always focused on keeping pets safe and happy. As a college student at PCC, my schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I enjoy starting or ending my days with walks, playtime, or just spending time with animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and truly enjoy being around animals. When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar space. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and pay attention to each pet’s unique routine and personality. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and plenty of time for exercise, play, and attention. My focus is keeping pets happy, relaxed, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Hello! My name is Nick, I originally come from Colorado—the land of dog lovers. I’ve owned pets my whole life, including a golden retriever, two Yorkies, two American Bulldogs, and a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. My experience and skills are mostly with small-to-mid-sized breeds, but I do love taking care of big dogs too (bonus points if you have a poodle mix!) I am able to fit pet care into my daily life very easily. The type of work I do outside of this makes it incredibly easy for me to be on the move and take time out of my day to give your pet the attention they need. When I take care of people’s pets, I generally like to have a first meeting with the clients and their pets to make sure they are comfortable around me and confirm all details about taking care of their pets. Depending on what a client needs, I can either stay with the pet for most of or all of the days, or I can just pop in to visit, feed, and walk them and leave. Whatever works best, I’m here for you and I know you know your pet best, so whatever they need is what I will provide!

“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.

She send many pictures of my dog throughout her time with her and followed my instructions to the letter. She is very kind and clearly loves animals. 10/10 would absolutely book again!
Vanessa was absolutely fantastic! She is highly professional, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of. I had complete peace of mind throughout my entire trip. When my flight was delayed, she even offered to stay longer than originally booked, which I truly appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her!
Nancy was amazing and extremely responsive. She was able to come for a last-minute meet and greet and was able to watch my pup Francisco within a few days notice. I would definitely have her watch him again as she is trustworthy, kind, and generally a positive and helpful person!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Irwindale is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $36 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 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 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.

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.
