“She is literally the BEST!!!! I will recommend her EVERY time. She goes above and beyond and is constantly giving updates with pictures and videos. Idk how we got so lucky to find her but we are so blessed and will book her time and time again.”
“Salem was an amazing choice! It was my first time having someone stay in the house to care for my pets. But he put me completely at ease. Took such good care of the babies. We have pretty specific care instructions, and he followed them to a T. He spent so much time with them. He was very communicative. He left the house immaculate. I would 10/10 use him again. If you're looking for a trustworthy amazing sitter for your pets! Salem is your person!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of pets from birds to geckos! I have a lot of pet sitting experience and am super flexible with schedules and any of your pets needs! I have experience with pets that require daily medication as well. I work full time but I have only work 4 days a week and my work schedule is always changing allowing me to have flexibility with days and even times! I remember that when I am caring for someone else’s pet that I am in their pets territory and that I may be unfamiliar to them at first! I am always gentle with them and try to maintain a relaxing environment for each pet I care for. I always give them time to warm up to me as well and offer them lots of love!
“Thanks so much for all you did to keep my furbabies happy! I appreciate you going out of your way to do all that I asked plus the thoughtful little extras like setting out the garbage bag. We had a wonderful time knowing our pups and Bella were having the best care!”
“Plachette is amazing. She did a fantastic job staying at our house for a week and watching our bernedoodle, Stormy. They really bonded and I can’t wait for her to watch Stormy again, as I know she will have the best care possible.”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was young and have handled dogs both large and small. I've cared for cats since 2019, I am newer to them technically, but I love how different they can be. I run my own business, so making my own hours allows me a lot of wiggle room on doing check-ins or rearranging my day to allow for walks. My home is a temple to good vibes and my happy lil buddies (Sprout and Tansy) get along with everyone they've met so far.
“Emma did an excellent job watching my dog! He’s got some extra medical needs and she did such a good job with it all, keeping me in the loop the whole time. She loved my dog really well. She left my place really clean, too. I will definitely be booking her again- thanks Emma!”
About: I would like to own my own pup, but my lifestyle doesn't allow me to give it the attention it needs. Dog sitting is the perfect balance between allowing me to care for a pup when I'm available and not having to worry about the responsibility when I'm traveling. My family owns 4 cats - Peaches, Pepper, McCoy and Wonks. They are cool cats, and are mostly unbothered by other pups being around, as they grew up with my father's dog - Jake Dog. Jake Dog is a very intelligent GSP whom I had a hand in training and learning training techniques in both public puppy school and in home private lessons. Not that I want to train your dog, I just want to walk it and play fetch with it. I will only take in a dog that I am able to commit to full time for the duration of their stay. I needed three more words to complete this prompt, so that is the purpose of this sentence. I do not have a fenced in yard. But I can take your dog on walks through my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street with cul-de-sacs on each end.
About: I’ve only seriously taken care of dogs on my own for the past 6 years. My neighbor has hired me many, many times over the many years we have known each other to take care of her pets, but on my own she has hired me for just about the last 6 years. I’ve taken care of 2 dogs at once and have given oral meds to dogs before. i work full time, but i can 100% make time for all your pet sitting needs! i can come in the mornings to watch your furbabies while also coming on my lunch to check in. we can always work out a schedule in which works for us both I can do just about anything you need for either dogs or cats! Once you show me what i to do for your pet, I’ll be able to help them be as comfortable and happy as possible!
About: I can guarantee the peace of mind we all want in knowing our pets will be in safe, loving care! About me: I am 23, a Penn State grad (Psychology), and a huge animal lover- as well as an advocate for animal welfare. While I may not possess the skill set of a certified or trained professional, I am very knowledgeable and perceptive to feline and dog behavior, temperament assessment, signals of discomfort/boundary violation, and their needs for excellent care. I know my boundaries with what weight class I feel most comfortable working with, and for that reason I must clarify I cannot confidently handle dogs independently that weighing 50-60 lbs. I have raised and welcomed multiple dogs and cats into our family, adding to informal experience working with animals. I had also volunteered at my hometown’s local animal shelter for 3 years, ensuring all 30+ cats were well taken care of and living in adequate, clean conditions. If you would like to reach out and ask further questions, feel free to message me. I can/will provide my phone number via chat! If I accept taking on a job, it is because I can confidently provide adequate care without time constraints or other responsibilities to worry about. I care for every animal I am entrusted with as though they are my own. I look for creative ways to offer not only sufficient care but above-and-beyond care, like providing mental enrichment. There is no shortage of love and kisses and cuddles if I’m an animal caretaker.
About: I have owned my own dog for the past 15 years. Experienced with difficult eaters, medication needs, walking, playing etc. Experienced with dogs who don’t like other dogs. Currently at home most of the day most days. Will spend a lot of quality time with your pet. I’ll cater to how your pet wants to spend their time: cuddling, playing, walks, napping. I’ll provide whatever level of care and safety your pet is used to in your home and neighborhood. My goal is to make their time away from you as much like if you were there.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my lifetime. I'm responsible, loving and believe pets can bring joy to your everyday busy life.They become part of your family. I am a retired teacher and mom of twin teenage boys. I have plenty of time during the day to care for my furry friends. My current home does not have enough space for me to care for pets in my space, but I have np problem coming to yours.
“Helped me out when I needed her quickly and stayed over night with my Doggos who are sometimes difficult to deal with. 2 senior dogs (one not so friendly) and a 2 year old Frenchie. Thank you again!”
About: Reliable pet care while you’re away! I have no difficulty giving medications with no extra cost to you. Great communication to help you feel at ease while you’re away I work full time Monday-Friday in a healthcare setting. I am available anytime during the weekend and weekdays after work (typically after 5 PM dependent on day) Currently I only am providing services in the pets home, my cats aren’t so welcoming to new friends joining their pack ): thank you for understanding
“Erica did a fantastic job watching after my dog Jameson. She did everything she said she would do. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future. She is also a very nice and gracious person.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I love spending time with them in my free time! My daughter loves cats and dogs! Currently working 745am-345pm Monday-Friday. Can care for your pet before and after work! I also get a long lunch break would be able to check on them during then too!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Irwin
5/5 Stars! We couldn't be happier with Rachel. She stayed at our house to watch our two dogs, and she was absolute perfection from start to finish. She gave us regular updates and adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans shifted slightly. Our home was left spotless, and our pups were happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when we got back. We would rebook with her in a heartbeat!
Brandi provided care for our dog in our home and does such a good job taking care of her and our home. She provided updates for our dog and is always kind and understanding. You can tell she enjoys the pets she works with. We highly recommend Brandi!
Hailey was fantastic, and I highly recommend her. !f you’re still reading this review, stop and book her now. If you need the deets, she house sat for us over a long weekend to watch over our cat, and most importantly, our 16½ year old golden retriever. She was very kind and supportive, just as we knew she would be after meeting her the first time. She took great care of both animals, providing reports daily so we had no worries while we were away. She even helped us deal with a refrigerator emergency in the middle of it all. Through everything, she was calm and extremely competent. Now, go back and book her.
Vanessa was wonderful with our Millie who is most comfortable at home to decrease stress. She was very flexible with date and time changes which I very much appreciated. Vanessa was very kind to send pictures and updates which allowed me to enjoy my time away. Our home was left in the same condition as when we left. We will definitely ask Vanessa to help with Millie in the future!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Irwin is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $75 per night.

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 North Irwin 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 North Irwin 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 North Irwin 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
