“Rachel did an amazing job watching my dogs while I was on a weekend getaway! She took such good care of them, and I really appreciated the pictures she sent – it gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy and well-cared for. Coming home to a clean house was an added bonus! I'll definitely be using her services again in the future. Rachel is my go-to dog sitter!”
“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”
“We chose Sierra to provide in-home dog sitting services for our first use of Rover. She came to meet us a couple of weeks ahead of our travel, and spent time answering questions about her knowledge and experience caring for puppies. She also asked us questions about our preferences for their care, and for her use of our home. By the end of the visit, we felt far more comfortable with our decision. During our trip, Sierra kept us informed about her schedule, how the puppies were doing, and sent us photos of them. It was clear from the way she talked about them that she genuinely cared for them, and was taking excellent care of them. Upon returning home, we found the home and our puppies in good shape, with minimal cleaning needed (I should note that we have very high standards for cleanliness). Overall, we were very impressed with Sierra. She was very friendly and personable while also being very professional and responsive. We would gladly use her to care for our puppies again when we travel.”
About: I’ve been a vet tech in the army for 2 years. I love it! I’m trained in basic aid for dogs and cats including providing any medication. I have experience with multiple dog breeds small and big, aswell with cats. My military work hours are 6am-1pm with 1 hour lunch at 11am. I have a lenient boss and is more than willing to allow me to leave work early when something comes up. I have so much free time after work and on weekends which makes it a perfect opportunity to hangout with someone’s furry friend! I absolutely love animal interaction. I love going to the park on calm sunny days, it is calming and relaxing. I would love to bring a furry companion to enjoy it with!
About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.
“Bailey took great care of our large menagerie. The dogs snuggled with her and the cats did cat things. We came home and everyone appeared happy and healthy and not terrible upset with our absence. Will book with Bailey again for future stays.”
About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and currently work at a doggy daycare where I care for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. My job has given me hands-on experience supervising playgroups, understanding dog body language, and making sure dogs stay safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ve also taken care of my own dogs for years, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, and older dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced caring for multiple dogs at once and making sure everyone feels safe and included. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure your pet feels relaxed and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for! Caring for animals has been a regular part of my routine through both my professional experience working at a dog daycare and caring for pets in my own life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and monitoring pets’ well-being. I make reliability a priority and ensure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it keeps them in a familiar, comfortable environment and helps reduce stress. When I provide in-home care, I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times, keep the home clean and respected, and give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Brandon was a great choice to take care of our boys Del & Rio while we were away. He was very communicative, providing updates and photos each day. It's clear that he has a lot of love & compassion for animals and really makes a personal connection with them. It was nice to know he understood Del & Rio so well and they were in good hands. Thank you Brandon!”
“all my fur babies seemed happy and healthy when we came back from my vacation. I got pictures daily which helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. The house was in good order and I have no complaints except Pip seemed disappointed to see me and not Gabriella.”
“Ashley was amazing. She was prompt with all communication and sent photos, took such good care of my pups and home, and went above and beyond to help with a couple things I forgot to do on my way out the door. I was so grateful to be able to fully enjoy the holiday knowing they were in her hands.”
“Jordan stayed at our house for 5 days while we were on vacation. She did a great job taking care of the house and all our critters. Everyone was in excellent hands and we could breathe easier while being away from home!”
“As usual, Ashleigh took great care of the dogs and kept us posted on how they were doing while we were gone. Will always use Ashleigh as long as she is available! My dogs love her and we trust her!”
“Gabby is the best! This is the second time she's watched our dogs. She reached out to meet again beforehand because it had been awhile and one of our dogs is very skittish with new people. It was a great idea and helped our dog acclimate during her stay. Would, and have, recommended to friends.”
“This is the first time we had Joy come and stay with our dogs while we were out of the country. First of all she was available to stay at our house through Christmas Day. When she came to meet the dogs, Waldo, our reserved Australian shepherd, jumped up in her lap. She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures. The dogs were happy to see us when we got home but the JRT kept looking for her in the guest room. She washed towels and sheets and remade the bed! We will definitely use Joy again. Pretty much perfect Rover experience.”
“This is now the third time we have used Shawnette to take care of our dogs while we were out of town and couldn’t be more pleased with her and her care. We were gone for 10 days this time and she took incredible care of our dogs and even won over our very shy girl. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Rose is the pup whisper! My dog is highly anxious, and Rose took the time to connect with her. She is excellent at giving updates, photos , which eases my mind I can’t recommend her enough”
“My first rover experience and Autumn did fantastic this past weekend! She was extremely respectful, communicative , caring and patient while taking care of elohim and my place. 1000% would have her sit again and recommend! Thank you Autumn!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Macdona
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Macdona on Rover is $38.85 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 1,524 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Macdona. 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 Macdona 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 Macdona 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 Macdona 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 Macdona. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
