“This is so long overdue but I couldn't go without leaving a review. Audrey was a fantastic Dog Sitter and I couldn't be more grateful for how she took care of Max. Quick to respond, clear communication, pictures, video and updates. I never once had to question how Max was doing while I was away. She also came to stay at the house. She left my house in the state she found it, stripped her bed before leaving and even asked if I had any other requests before she left. I will definitely be using Audrey again and truly appreciate her, and Rover, for making my time away as comfortable as possible for Max.”
“First time using Chris to house sit our two dogs and he was great. Very communicative and responsive, asked good questions and was well prepared. He also greatly loved on our pups and they loved him. We will def use him again!”
“Gabriella was amazing. Fun, kind, and Milo loved her. She helped take care of our baby on our wedding day, even came to the venue to take pictures with him and drove him back! Thank you!”
“Stella was phenomenal. I needed her last minute and she was available! Came over to meet the dogs, then was on time and hanging out with them the entire time I needed her there. Sent pictures, was very responsive, and left the house in perfect condition. I will definitely use her again. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. From a young age, I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playing with, bathing, and giving my dogs the love and attention they need. I’ve always formed incredibly strong bonds with my pets and genuinely see them as members of the family. More recently, I rescued a French Bulldog who has become my absolute best friend. She has taught me even more about being patient, attentive, and understanding of a dog’s individual personality, needs, and routines. I’m someone who pays close attention to the little things—whether your pet is feeling nervous, needs extra cuddles, has lots of energy, or simply wants someone to keep them company. When your pet is in my care, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own dog. 🐾❤️ My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m very reliable and will always make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and lots of love along the way! 🐾❤️ My goal is to make your time away stress-free while keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐾 I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. I make sure they’re in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. I also understand that every pet is different, so I never force interaction and always give them time to feel comfortable with me. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely confident and at ease knowing your pet is being cared for like family. ❤️🐶
“Leo helped me out when I was in a jam. He agreed to take care of my dog and cat on very short notice and did a great job with them, keeping me informed multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”
“Ernesto was GREAT, he came by before I left for a trail walk with Tuxedo loved him, He watched Tux for 8 days all throughout he sent pictures and texts. He followed my instructions and spent lots of time with Tux while I was gone. He was totally responsible and professional. I will be using him again and you should too !”
“Great job! Great communication! She did what I asked her to do! Always on time! She showed me everything she did. La verdad muy satisfecho de lo que Gleidys hizo por mi mascota. No es fácil confiar en alguien que cuide nuestras mascotas.”
“Nicole was excellent! This was the first time we have ever had an overnight house sitter and she did a great job taking care of our two male Shar Peis. She even came by a couple days in advance to meet them briefly so that they would be comfortable with her on the actual evening!”
“I can’t say enough good things! He was super communicative from start to finish and followed all of Jayda’s medication directions perfectly. Since she’s a senior dog who needs a lot of extra help, I really appreciated the way he went above and beyond to keep her comfortable and help her get around. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Definitely booking with him again — highly recommend!”
“Denys took amazing care of our dog Rocky while we were away. He was reliable, caring, and kept us at ease knowing Rocky was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend!”
“Mars was very attentive with our dog, and did a great job keeping her on schedule, walked, and engaged. We also got lots of updates and very timely replies. Will definetely hire again to watch our dog.”
About: i’ve always had dogs since I was a child,always loved spending time and taking care of pets. and to this day I petsit for friends and family when they are away. i’m currently working part-time, so I’m available weekdays after 11am. I can walk pets throughout the day and if requested ahead I would be able to petsit for some days. I do like to ask questions to be familiar with my clients home when it comes to safety and boundaries to keep pets safe and home tidy.
“I am so grateful with Marina. She came home on time and was so attentive and took care of Candela as she was me. Experienced with elderly and medically compromised dog. She sent pictures and videos so I was informed about my dog at all times. Candela had a stress free time when I was away. ? Thank you, Marina”

Please bring your baby to my lovely house I stay home and love to be around animals as long as possible. They love is unconditional and I always pay them back with all my heart I live in nice fenced condominium and would love to take care of your baby. To be around animals is the best thing could happen to me
About: I’m new to professional dog sitting, but I’m extremely responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to following care instructions exactly as requested. I understand how important routines, safety, and clear communication are when caring for someone else’s pet. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, leashed walks, basic care, and providing calm companionship. I take this responsibility seriously and will always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. As an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m home often, work from my phone, and enjoy building calm, consistent days that include walks, check-ins, and quality time with pets. I focus on caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow routines closely and treat each home with care and respect.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and over 8 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, helping with walks, meals, bathing, and daily routines. I also volunteer at animal shelters, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and calm with pets of all temperaments. I truly believe animals deserve love and care, and I treat every pet like family. I have plenty of availability at night and I am flexible with my schedule and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with animals I have a small yorkie that is super friendly with both small and big dogs, we love going on walks and to the park. still trying to get him to like the beach lol
“Emalie is awesome, she took notes as soon as I started explaining what to do with my pets, and she sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated! She was attentive and communicative so I felt at ease with her watching my fur babies. Highly recommend Emalie!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to older pets who need a gentler touch. As a current college student, I bring energy, responsibility, and a flexible schedule to make sure your pets get the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or snuggles, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and cats who may be shy or need extra patience. Currently going to school part time, most days a week I’m available for care all day. Having a pet myself, I take into consideration the importance of them getting the proper care, nutrition and most importantly walks. Pet care at home is simple & a routine. Pets are walked as needed depending on their health and capacity. Often potty breaks and reinforcement is used if owner agrees.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ives Estates is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ives Estates
Nicole did an amazing job taking care of Dior! He absolutely loved her, and it was clear that he felt happy and comfortable in her care. Nicole is such a sweet, kind, and caring person. I would absolutely trust her to stay with Dior again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone wonderful to care for their pet. Thank you so much, Nicole! ❤️
Naomi and her husband did an absolutely, positively AMAZING job taking care of my animals! I honestly couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. I’ll be completely honest — I was very nervous about having someone I found through an app come into my home and take care of my animals. It’s a big thing for me to trust someone with my pets and my personal space, so I had a lot of hesitation at first. But Naomi gave me such a sense of reassurance and comfort from the very beginning. She was so kind, understanding, communicative, and made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. They went above and beyond to make sure my animals were happy, comfortable, loved, and having fun. Knowing that they were being treated with so much care while I was away gave me such peace of mind. You can genuinely tell that Naomi and her husband have a true love for animals and treat them like their own. They were respectful of my home, attentive to my animals, and made the entire experience so much easier than I ever expected. I’m honestly so grateful I decided to trust them. They completely changed my perspective on using Rover, and I would absolutely have them take care of my animals again without hesitation. If you’re someone who is nervous about letting a stranger from an app into your home or trusting someone with your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Naomi and her husband. They were wonderful from beginning to end, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you both so much for taking such amazing care of my babies! ❤️🐾
Taylor was simply amazing with Mulan. She was kind, attentive, and it was clear how much she truly loves animals. Mulan felt so comfortable with her, which means everything to me. But what made the experience truly special was the beautiful detail at the end—she gave me a collage with photos from the days she spent with Mulan… it honestly made me cry. I wil definitely rebook with her again
Herbert was extremely communicative and proactive when it came to caring for my 3 cats! He sent daily updates and was sure to ask questions when any concerns came up. He followed all directions and went above and beyond to make sure my pets felt cared for. Very grateful for his service and I will be booking him again in the near future!!
Izzy watched our senior cat, dog & frog for a week and was amazing! Highly recommend her to everyone. She sent daily pictures and even took our pup to the beach and on different adventures. They all loved their time with her so much and my wife and I fully trust her! It’s never easy letting someone new into your home but she was the perfect fit. Thank you Izzy! 10/10 experience
10/10 would recommend! Eliza went above and beyond all expectations this weekend for my dog and I. She asked all the right questions prior to her stay which was an immediate green flag. My dog is very cautious and sensitive around new people. Eliza used techniques to familiarize and comfort my dog. I recommend her to anyone, she is professional and her love and knowledge with animals shows in her work. She sent me lots of pics and updates, was flexible when I had to adjust my schedule. So glad I found her!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ives Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ives Estates on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,399 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ives Estates. 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 Ives Estates 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 Ives Estates 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 Ives Estates 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 Ives Estates. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
