“Miko was well taken care of with Dominique! Initially Miko was nervous but by the end of the stay, he got the hang of it. Dominique was great, keeping us posted regularly on how things were going. Highly recommend.”
“I can't say enough good things about my experience! My dogs absolutely loved spending the day with Rachel. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It's clear that Rachel is a natural with animals. Apparently, the boys enjoyed sitting outside and snuggling the most! I highly recommend Rachel’s services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Ashleigh comes over twice a week to walk my pups and so when I went out of town, I knew exactly who to contact to watch them! She was reliable as per usual, sent great pictures, and my dogs love her. I would highly recommend Ashleigh for any of your pet needs!”
About: I love going out my way to pet any dog I run into! I am a furry friend lover and enjoy seeing happy pets. All my life I have had a dog or have taken care of one. I also enjoy going on runs with dogs when able. I have over 200 hours of volunteer time at multiple animal shelters, veterinary shadowing, wildlife care, and other experiences that further support the growth and care of animals. I am in the process of becoming a certified trainer after having successfully trained multiple dogs and have actively attended multiple classes with my puppy Misty. Misty is a 8 year old labradoodle that is trained to be a therapy dog. She is super friendly and loves people and other dogs! I look forward to meeting your best friend(s)! Kanela is a 6 year old Airdale that is very sweet and energetic companion. She gets super excited to meet new people and doggie friends. I work from home so I am available to your pet all day for most of the week. During the weekends, I am almost always home as well and will generally go on longer walks or to the dog park. Our backyard is fenced. The home is clear of any possible hazards, has cameras, and a space for sleeping. Additionally, we provide plenty of treats as long as it is approved by the pet owner.

I currently have two dogs, I have a 10 year old staffie, he has diabetes and is blind. I also have a 4 year old Australian shepherd. I have been dog sitting since I was in high school off and on, only due to my availability, due to the jobs I was working at the time. Currently I’m a bartender, I work minimal shifts and would love to take care of your loved pets! I am very slightly allergic to cats but DO NOT WORRY I love cats so I’ll take Benadryl and suck it up lol!! I currently work 1-2 shifts a week, roughly 6 hour shifts. As long as that is okay for your dog and their needs, than I would love to work with you! I have experience working with dog aggressive dogs, friendly dogs, non-potty trained dogs, etc. I am willing to work with all dogs. I prefer to have a meet to make not only you but also your pet comfortable!
“Emily is fabulous! She’s stayed in our home with our two pooches on two occasions and has been very professional. They love her and that says so much for us. Please book her. We’re sure you will love her too.”
“Jennifer was so great we our pups and took such a great care of our home while we were enjoying our vacation. Will definitely book her again next time we are out of town, and will recommend to family and friends.”
“Mariah once again impressed us with her outstanding care of our four small dogs and our home this past weekend. Her attention to detail, cleanliness, and the love she shows our pets is remarkable. We truly appreciate the regular updates and adorable pictures she sends, keeping us at ease while we’re away. This was our fifth time using Mariah’s services, and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Mariah, for always going above and beyond!”
“We would definitely hire Rose again in the future. She was very prompt when I first reached out and got a meet and greet scheduled right away. Our dog really liked her as well. She showed up right on time on the day the house sitting started, provided updates, and followed all instructions that I left for her.”
“She went above and beyond. Was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures for peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals!!! We will be using her again”
About: I’m a Texas A&M University Animal Science graduate with hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic. Through my veterinary experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs and have developed skills in safe animal handling, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I take the time to provide individualized, patient, and compassionate care. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or needs extra attention, I’m committed to keeping them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My veterinary background allows me to provide an extra level of confidence and attentive care for both pets and their owners. I work a consistent weekday schedule, with Wednesdays off, so I primarily offer pet care before or after work and during my lunch break, with greater availability on weekends and days off. I plan my bookings carefully to ensure I have enough time to provide each pet with attentive, unhurried care. I’m dependable and communicative, and I’ll work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My veterinary experience has taught me the importance of safe animal handling, paying attention to changes in behavior, and following each pet’s individual care instructions. When caring for pets in their home, I respect your space and follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I’ll always prioritize keeping them safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have a dog or cat, so I cherished my pet turtle and fish. At 16, I finally got the chance to own dogs, and I’ve cared for and trained both since they were puppies. From potty training to leash training, the experience taught me responsibility, patience, and personal growth. Being around animals has always brought me joy, and I love giving them the care and attention they deserve. My work schedule fluctuates throughout the week. I have 2 dogs now and 1 angel baby. My soul dog passed away in Oct 2025. Mochi is a Miniature American Eskimo and Bean is a Boxer! When caring for pets, my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime, to minimize stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect while ensuring their pet’s needs are met. From belly rubs and cuddles to keeping up with training and medications, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and requirements to make them feel right at home.
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school for friends and family alike. Animal experience from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds. Some aquatic. I can also provide basic dog training. With currently working part time, I have the flexibility to take dogs for a walk or do some training at various times during the day. The welcoming crew at my house consists of two dogs and two cats. All co-exist and are super friendly rescues. Tundra (my husky mix) loves to play. We also have a fish tank they can enjoy for entertainment. I will treat yours as well as I would my own.
“Best decision I ever made! My dogs were taken care of and loved on and taken for walks! Made my momma heart rest a bit easier while away! Pictures were sent every time they did anything! I came home and they were so happy! Way different than any time I’ve boarded them…10/10 recommend these guys, worth every penny!”
“Jennifer was great. She and her family were respectful and kind to our great Dane Cletus and to our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Her knowledge of how to handle animals is well thought out and executed properly. We will be trying to use her services again if we need to.”
“Fernanda and Ben were absolutely wonderful with our pets and home. They are such a kind, thoughtful, and responsible couple— truly a rare find. From the very beginning, they impressed us with their professionalism and care. They came over twice before the stay to make sure they understood all the details of our pets’ routines, asked thoughtful questions, and listened closely to ensure everything would go smoothly while we were away. We have a large dog and three cats, one of whom takes daily medication and another one who uses an inhaler. Fernanda and Ben handled everything perfectly. Their calm and gentle energy immediately put our animals at ease, and even our shyest cat came out to greet them. They followed our instructions exactly, managed a fairly complex feeding and medication schedule without issue, and kept our home spotless. They also communicated promptly and clearly, and it was obvious they take their responsibilities seriously. They went above and beyond to make sure our pets felt secure and comfortable, and when we returned home, everyone was happy and relaxed. It is so refreshing to find such competent, trustworthy, and genuinely kind people. We are incredibly grateful to have found Fernanda and Ben and will certainly book with them again!”
“Annette did a good job looking after Skylar and Roxie. She was flexible as we came back earlier than expected. My dogs were well cared for and would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule, but I’m available for pet care before or after work and have more flexibility on my days off. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, or simply keeping them company. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions you provide. I’ll respect your home and your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Wendy! She took care of my three dogs — Jack, Finn, and Harvi — and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met, I knew my pups were in great hands, but she still managed to impress me even more throughout the entire stay. Wendy treated each dog with so much love and attention, giving them exactly what they needed — whether it was playtime, cuddles, or calm reassurance. Jack adored her, Finn followed her around like a shadow, and Harvi soaked up every bit of affection. It was clear they felt safe, happy, and completely comfortable with her. Her communication was excellent as well. She sent regular updates and photos that brought me so much peace of mind. I never had to worry for a moment. Wendy is truly one of a kind — reliable, caring, thoughtful, and absolutely incredible with animals. I feel so grateful to have found her, and I will absolutely be booking her again. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who will treat your pets like family, Wendy is the one!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Macdona is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Macdona. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
