“Jasmine was a fantastic dog sitter! She took care of our 10 month old shepherd-mix puppy, Nova, while we were away for the weekend. She stayed at our apartment for 3 nights to keep our anxious puppy company and make sure she had food, water, walks, and love while we were gone! Jasmine handled our anxious and reactive puppy like a champ and showed extreme patience until Nova warmed up to her over time. Jasmine also left our apartment exactly as we left it and even cleaned up the room she stayed in. She was wonderful and we would highly recommend her to others.”
“Riley was wonderful to work with! She communicated well throughout the stay, was easy to coordinate with, and took great care of Pickles. He clearly enjoyed spending time with her, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We'd be happy to book with Riley again!”
“Sam is great every time. I know when I come home to my pup who is calm and happy instead of starved for attention that it’s because of the love and time that Sam spent with her. Thank you!”
“Ella took great care of our two pups and home. It was a pleasure to come home from vacation to happy dogs, a clean home and blooming flowers. She sent us photos and communicated regularly so we had peace of mind on our vacation. We highly recommend Ella!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. My friends and family have been relying on me to walk and feed their dogs for years! Cuddles are also a must! May or may not talk to them like they are babies (which they 100% are) I currently work full-time at an elementary school, so this is only a weekend gig. That being said, I love going to watch and walk dogs of all kind!! Typically when I’m walking a dog, I make sure the dog goes at its own pace. It’s the dogs walk, not mine. That being said, I do what’s necessary to keep them from harm. I also will play with your dog whether it is just a walk-session or a full house stay.
About: Welcome! I just started an LLC if you want to check my Facebook out! You can find me at “Backwoods K-9 Boarding and Daycare LLC” Hi everyone!! We are going to be back Open June 2025 after being closed down for a few months for the birth of our daughter! I can’t wait to start back up, we will be doing this slowly and based on our family needs. I’ve been taking care of dogs/cats all my life to small animals to big animals I love them all! I am available anytime throughout the day and will always be home! This is my full time job! Your pets will love the fenced in yard and all the yard to run around! This is my full time job! So I have all the time to take care of your pup! We have a fenced in yard so your dog will have plenty of room to burn their energy off. We can take the dogs on walks as well. We have 3 very friendly pets Daisy, Toby, and Gracie they will help socialize with your animal and will love playing! All dogs will be boarded in my house and are allowed on the couch or bed! Also we can crate if needed. I wake up around 8a, let the dogs out then I separate the dogs for feeding time, after they ate I’ll let them out and they have all day to play. I offer Apple air tags as well for an extra measure of safety. For house sitting I offer daily check ups, I do not offer overnights.
“Aziya was very attentive, came to the house for all information regarding her stay and care for Brie. Brie was very happy and healthy when we came home. House was clean, sheets and towels washed. She was very responsive, sent us pics and updates.”
“Cate was so great with my dogs and cat while I was away on a weekend trip! She sent updates, communicated well, and when I returned home the animals were content and the house was just as I left it, if not slightly cleaner! We would absolutely book with Cate again!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life (cats and dogs). Currently, my family has 2 dogs and 3 cats. Living away from home for college is difficult without my pets, so I would love to tend to yours as I am missing mine! I’m working part-time while taking classes but always have time for a furry friend (the care goes both ways in my opinion! It’s a win-win). I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have always cared for them. I ensure a mess free environment and love giving the pets lots of love!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 123 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across MacDougall. 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 MacDougall 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 MacDougall 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 MacDougall 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.
