“Hailey was amazing! She is so kind and professional. My girls loved her! She took such great care of them. She communicated, sent updates, and pictures. Reached out with any questions or concerns. She went over and above taking care of my house, leaving it very clean. I am so happy I found her.”
“Stephanie was wonderful with Wiley. Wiley was living the good life with lots of walks and attention while we were away. Thank you, Stephanie, for taking such good care of our pup and our home.”
“Michelle was really great. She was prompt and clear when communicating with me. She sent pictures and updates through out each day. Most importantly she was understanding and patient with ME as I explain in detail a lot of what my dogs need. I have a 13 yo and a 13 month old, both labs and each comes with some very specific handling needs especially around feeding and walking and Michelle was open to letting me communicate these needs. Her care and attention to the dogs' needs helped me relax on our vacation. I will definitely be asking her again to stay with the dogs. Thanks Michelle”
“Lindsey is amazing!! She is so nice and took great care of our dog. She sent so many photo and video updates and our dog looked happy! She sent updates about bathroom breaks and food too. I also appreciate that she has experience with epileptic dogs so we felt comfortable leaving ours in her care. We already have her booked for another round of overnight sittings!!”
“Allegra constantly exceeds expectations and alleviates any anxieties I have about leaving my dogs for several days at a time. She is responsive and great with the dogs and house. I'll never book another dog sitter if Allegra is available!”
“Rosemary was a legit godsend. She was amazing and I'm so happy I found her. My situation was very unique and she took it in stride. But the main thing was she helped my dogs feel comfortable and loved in a brand new house. She sent so many photos which helped ease my mind. Then she left my house super clean. I couldn't even tell she had been there. I will hire her again and recommend her to all my fellow dog people.”
“Kaitlin was a wonderful sitter for Harry, who loves her and now thinks she’s part of our “pack”! She was considerate and careful with our home, which she treated with care. We would highly recommend her to anyone who wanted a great in-home pet sitter!”
“Seth did a fantastic job house sitting and taking care of my 11 month old Golden. He was punctual, responsive, caring and knowledgeable. Maverick was in very capable hands which gave me peace of mind and the opportunity to really enjoy my time away. Highly recommend. I would give him more than 6 out of 5 stars!”
“Winnie is such a sweet person and loved my dogs. I will use her again and because I am going to be selfish and not want her to be to busy to watch my dogs.... she is wonderful.”
“Layla was in great hands with Livia! She sent us photos throughout and took Layla on plenty of walks. We came home to a happy, well-looked-after pup and a house left in perfect condition—exactly as we’d left it. Livia is trustworthy, kind, conscientious, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!”
“I am so appreciative of having Lorene as my dog sitter for our recent vacation. She kept us updated with a daily report, added some cute pictures, and learned more of the dogs’ quirks making it a great fit. We knew we could travel without any worries because she took great care of my boys. They loved hanging out with her and Cash even took on the role of “work supervisor”. Would highly recommend Lorene for any of your dog needs.”
“Nathaniel was great with the pups, and he left the house as clean (or maybe cleaner) than we left it for him! Our pups were in great shape when we returned and we'll gladly book with Nathan again!”
About: I have owner a variety of animals from fish and rodents to three large dogs at once ( 2 huskies and aGerman Shepherd ) . I have also used rover formally to dogsit and walk many sizes and temperaments of dogs. I currently volunteer at the shelter to take dogs out of the kennel for the day and actively pet sit dogs and cats of friends. I have experience working with puppies after raising my German shepherd and another set of four puppies until adoption. I have also worked with senior dogs with dietary restrictions and medication. I am self-employed and an online student at the moment and have more free time that can be flexibly managed. I spend extra hours taking my friends pets on walks or spending time with them while doing work at home. I love to go on walks as I used to own two large and active dogs ! In-house sitting would mean respect for the clients home and their belongings. I also understand that the home is the safe space of the pet and should be treated with care. My priority is the comfort and care of the animal during the time their owners are gone to make sure they are well taken care of and enjoying their time :)!
“Daniel took care of our two boys while we were away. He gave them lots of love and attention providing us with daily photos. He was very respectful of house rules. We will be using him in future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ivakota
Hailey did an absolutely amazing job with our two large dogs. We got daily updates, dogs looked happy and well cared for. She handled multiple walks per day and a medication routine for one of our senior dogs. Our house was spotless when we returned, plants and other tasks had been taken care of as asked. Honestly we've never had such a great dogsitter experience before. Would highly recommend Hailey.
Ellie was amazing with our pets! Due to a family death we had to adjust out pet sitting schedule and Ellie was flexible, which we greatly appreciated. She sent pictures and took good care of our elderly and quirky pets. We are extremely grateful for her love and care. Ellie administered medicine, spent the night, and even cleaned up! Highly recommend Ellie!! Thanks again Ellie!
Claire did a GREAT job taking care of our two little terriers. She followed all our instructions perfectly and kept us updated with pictures all day long. She was on time and left our house just as she found it. The dogs were not stressed at all when we got home, so we knew they were happy being in Claire’s care. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a caring dog sitter. We will definitely be using her again.
What an incredible pet sitter! I got multiple photos and updates, and she even brushed my dog! Both he and my home looked great when I returned. Elisabeth asked great questions when I met her and wanted to keep his routine consistent while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again real soon.
We hired Anna to watch our four precious babies (three kitties and one dog) while we traveled out of the country. She took particularly good care of all of them, sent us updates, asked questions when needed and left our home as good as she found it. It’s a lot to take care of four animals at once, especially when our cats have some funny habits. They all really loved being around Anna and were obviously felt safe and happy with her. We will most definitely be using Anna again—she is professional, kind, funny and reliable. Thank you Anna!!
Melika was a fantastic sitter for our very opinionated elder beagle. She played age appropriate games with him, carried him up the stairs and kept him company on the couch. She was also very communicative which helped soothe my nerves about leaving our doggo for several days. She also took care of our house, which was cleaner than we left it. 100% would recommend her.
Laura was amazing with our 2 energetic dogs and older cat that needed daily thyroid medication and subcutaneous fluids. The house was left all in tact and she even washed her linens and put clean sheets on our bed. I can’t tell you how much we appreciated that after a long days journey 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Ivakota
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ivakota on Rover is $31.03 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 9,655 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ivakota. 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 Ivakota 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 Ivakota 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 Ivakota 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.
