“Jennifer did amazing. I had a family emergency and need to leave town she responded quickly and jumped right in to house/puppy sit. Within the first few hours, I could tell Winnie was in good hands. I had so much going on I didn’t have time to check on her, but I didn’t even worry. I knew she was taking care of. Jennifer went above and beyond she took care of my puppy and was respectful of my place. I highly recommend her and I definitely will be choosing her again.”
“Sophia kept us super informed while we had to travel for a wedding and our pup was dealing with a medical issue. She has been fantastic with them! Especially for our pup that needs tons of meds!”
“We are so glad to have found Gabby! We have 3 dogs, one of whom is extremely anxious, so we were worried about leaving her for the first time. Gabby clearly did a great job making her feel comfortable - I was surprised to see my scaredy dog doing things like curling up next to her on the bed. Two of our dogs are also on medication. Gabby did a great job ensuring everyone got everything they needed! We will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Anaiah! We have two very different dogs — Koa, our wild and lovable 1.5-year-old who basically demands your full attention at all times, and Rose, our sweet older girl who has a previous ACL injury that requires a more gentle approach. Anaiah handled both of them beautifully. She matched Koa's energy and gave him all the engagement he needed, while being incredibly thoughtful and careful with Rose — never pushing her too hard and always keeping her comfort in mind. It was clear she actually read and retained everything we shared about their needs, which meant the world to us. On top of the amazing dog care, Anaiah took wonderful care of our home as well. We came back to everything exactly as we left it — no stress, no surprises. Her communication throughout the stay was consistent and reassuring, and it was obvious this wasn't just a job for her — she genuinely cared about Koa and Rose's wellbeing. We will absolutely be using Anaiah again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust with their pets and their home. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate — you'll be in great hands! 🐾”
“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.”

“Victoria is really sweet and we will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need a dog sitter! She had mentioned that we were her 1st customer on rover. What we asked of her (house sit + dog sit for 2 weeks) was a lot to ask of someone for the 1st time being on rover but she took it like a champ! She came over to do a meet and greet and we found out that she’s a preschool teacher too so she is a double weapon for those who has kids! We told her while we are gone our house is yours especially with groceries that were not used since we had been gone for so long. She not only updated up with pictures of the pups and how things were going and when she has guests over (we had told her if it made her feel comfortable she can have a friend, siblings, or significant other over) but she even bought us a value pack of soda since she had some of ours we left behind but she bought our kids spooky nuggets (just because!). She even left a welcome home not on the kids chalkboard that I did not see until later. You are the best Victoria, don’t change!”

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!
Sophia is wonderful! She was very communicative about what was going on with our boy. She was patient with him as he was a little shy with her at first. Sophia sent me pictures throughout her stay which I absolutely loved! I highly recommend her and will ask her to stay with our boy again.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
