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!
“Christina was an amazing pet sitter! She stayed in our home for a long weekend to care for our mini labradoodle and our rabbit. I knew from the beginning that the pets were in good hands--she asks detailed questions and makes sure she has all the right info in case of emergency. She sent lots of pictures and was an excellent communicator. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. I will 100% be booking with her again when we need a sitter!”
“Nancy was absolutely amazing!! She spent quality time with Millie and kept me posted throughout the sitting on how Millie was doing. She went above and beyond to accommodate our sitting needs and last minute booking. I was able to enjoy my trip with absolutely no worries!!! 🥰 Millie and I have definitely made a great friend and will ask Nancy to care for Millie many more times!! Thank you so much for loving our Millie as much as we do !! 💞”
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.
About: My name is Britney and I'm 35 yrs old. I was a traveling sitter for over two years and loved every moment of it. I also used to work at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for 5 years. I'm currently the proud human of 5 shih tzu's, 2 corgis, and my "old man" terrier mix. All are dog and human friendly amd love to play (except the old man). Throughout my life I've owned a variety of different pets including dogs, birds, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, tortoises, and a variety of farm animals including goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I love working with all animals and am very excited to meet new pets. I have quite a bit of experience working with animals and am comfortable giving medications if needed. There will be plenty of play time and leashed potty breaks for your pup. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Thank you! I have a full time job now, I work overnights so I'm only away at night during the weekdays and my partner works from home so someone is home all day. The dogs we take care of have their own area to sleep in at night and have free access to the living spaces in our 3 story home, it's vary spacious and perfect for doggie stays.
About: I’ve taken care or both cats and dogs for 14 years since I was 5. I’ve learned pets body language over the years and know just want they need . I have free time during the week to stay with your pets for a few hours and over the weekends I have can stay overnight to look after them. I will stay where I can see them when I am over and if they need their space I will allow them that but they are always monitored and if they go silent I will check on them constantly.
“Plachette gave all the right attention to our two cats,two dogs and 5 fish tanks- she was responsive and engaging throughout our week long trip. Her maturity and experince put us as ease, and her empathy and compassion with our fur-family was obvious from the moment she met them. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
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.
“Gabby did an amazing job of taking care of our dog and cat. She sent several pictures and videos throughout her stay. The house looked just like it did when we left it. She was very sweet and you can tell she cares about the pets.”
About: Dog owner since 1970. My property has TWO fenced in yards, one in front, and one in back, with a gate in between if needed. Dogs love me and I love them. ❤️ I have an older service dog as well, and am able to help train a dog if needed. I'm semi-retired, so it's rare that your dog would be left alone at all, but if you're dog enjoys being left alone, that's always an option as well. Communication is the key.... feeding times, special needs, etc. I have everything needed to pet sit. My property has TWO fenced in yards, one in front and one in back with a gate in between. My home has whole house ac and vinyl flooring. I have 3 dogs to keep your dog company, or those two seperate fenced yards if requested or needed. I also have crates for dogs that enjoy that den feeling.
About: Hello I love children and animals! I love taking care of dogs and watching them get excited as you walk in the door or as the leash comes out and they know it's time to go! They bring joy to your heart as they explore their world either playing, sniffing or just enjoying their walk. I engage your dog with whatever their interests are: favorite toy, ball, running or playing hide and seek! I also can be calm and affectionate with your elderly dog and just do potty breaks and supply cuddles and love. I like to know your dogs normal routine so I can make them as happy as possible during my visit with them. All fur babies receive unconditional cuddles and love from me! I work as a nanny part time and do pet care Services part time. I enjoy spending my time providing care for others when needed. I will take care of you animal(s) as you have instructed. Let them out on a potty break and give them time to explore. Make sure they have fresh food and water and then give them playtime and cuddles if they allow me to! If I am caring for your cat I will scoop litter give fresh food and water and give them play time and cuddles also if they allow me too!
“Carly was great. She stayed in our home for week and took care of our pup. She kept us updated throughout the booking. Our pup was happy and well taken care of when we returned. We would recommend Carly and will be booking with her again!”
“Gretchen was awesome! She was very attentive, offered frequent updates, and great pics of my boy while she was watching him. It was obvious that they got along great. 5 stars! Will definitely book with Gretchen 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
“Eric’s was amazing! She took great care of Rocket and gave him plenty of cuddles and walks. I’ve already booked her for a longer stay with Rocket. I just hope he doesn’t want to go home with her when I return.”
“Kristie was a wonderful sitter for our mini labradoodle and our bunny! She stayed in our home for five nights while we were out of the country. From the first exchange of messages through the meet-and-greet and the pet-sitting itself, Kristie was very communicative and professional, and she clearly cared a lot about keeping our pets safe and happy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. This was our first time having Kristie sit, and we will definitely have her back when we need a sitter again. Our pets were in very good hands.”

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!!

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.

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.
