About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. What even is life without a furry friend? Me and Archie are looking to make some new furends! We love to Netflix and chill but are open to going for longer walks & have tons of toys to play with! I work a normal 9-5 so I prioritize my mornings and afternoons for the furry friends. Just like we need our coffee, they need their morning walk and breakfast! I have a small but clean space, with a decent sized yard for playing & pooping! My space is pretty quiet too! No complaints from Archie.

“Tammy was absolutely amazing. She followed instructions and was very attentive to my pets. I was very nervous leaving them as this was my first experience on Rover and having someone stay in my home. Tammy sent me many photos throughout the stay and communicated regularly which I truly appreciated and which also allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Another thing that I noticed is that SHE ENJOYED my pets. That in its self meant the world to me. Thank you!!!!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with our Gabby! She was so patient and understanding with Gabby’s anxiety, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she looks after and goes the extra mile to make them feel safe and comfortable. Gabby was very well taken care of, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would definitely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”

“As soon as Lauren walked through our front door, Charlotte (our senior pup) wagged her tail & was ready to be petted. Lauren’s kindness and patience allowed us to leave for the evening knowing that Charlotte was in good hands. We can’t wait to use Lauren again!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about using Joey as a dog and house sitter. If you are considering booking him, just do it. Prior to leaving town, I had to change my booking dates more than once and Joey handled it very professionally. While away, I received hilarious pictures of my very happy dog having a great time. My dog and booking can be “a lot.” We have acreage with many critters and a strong dog who loves to hike and swim. All went well and then some… Joey left the house immaculate, my dog tired out and my bird feeders filled. I couldn’t have come home from a long vacation to a better situation. I can highly recommend Joey and will definitely be rebooking him.”

About: I was born and raised to love dogs. I grew up in a household that bred Rottweilers and I could not be anymore grateful for the lessons of love and care for animals it instilled in me. I began caring for other's pets when I was in high school. Over a decade later I have had experience in short and long-term overnight care/house sitting, day-visits, walks, and some medication administration for pets of all ages and sizes. I have a special spot in my heart for senior pets and giving them the extra love and care they deserve. I know that every home and pet has unique needs and ways to be taken care of. I believe with clear communication I am able to approach each new pet care situation with confidence that we can both feel when you leave your loved ones in my care! I am currently just working part time and have lots of flexibility/weekend availability. I love to take early morning walks with dogs, especially given that it's summer I keep the heat in mind and have availability during the cooler hours. I have reliable transportation to come to your home! I am a very organized and clean person so if I am welcomed into your home I assure it will be treated with respect and care. For walks I believe I am very observant and aware of my surroundings, ensuring safety for both myself and your pet(s).
About: My love for pet care started about 8 years ago when I began raising and training future guide dogs. Since then, I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood, giving me lots of hands on experience with puppy training, socialization, routines, basic commands, and caring for dogs through different stages of life. Over the years, I’ve also dog sat and house sat countless times for friends, family, and others. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxing and getting lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. Most importantly, I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog and home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I work four days a week, but I’m available for lunch hour check ins and walks for pets located in the Webster area. I’m also available before and after work on those days. Wednesdays and weekends offer me more flexibility for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and spending extra time with your pets. I’m always happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine and keeps them comfortable while you’re away! I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and love! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply giving a more independent pet their space. I also take great care to respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for while you’re away.
“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! And have years of experience with sitting. Big dogs, small dogs, cats etc. I love animals so much. Hi! I’m Emma! I am 19 years old working as an esthetician looking for an extra gig. I recently moved in with my boyfriend but have 2 cute pugs that live with my parents. I am dog deprived all the time and miss having a furry friend running around. Apart from my immediate family, I’ve grown up surrounded by my relatives and friends dogs. I’ve been pet sitting for many years and I’m looking forward to walking with rover! I will make sure to closely follow whatever directions the owner has given me. The dog’s comfortably around me is important, and I am willing to do whatever I need to to earn their trust.
About: I have been around pets of all kinds most of my life. Dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs you name it. I have an 8 year old bull mastiff named Brooklyn and a 4 year old cat named Cato both of which I got as babies and love them with all my heart. I have experience as well taking care of my friends puppy a few times in the past. I am a freelance graphic designer where I make my own schedule so I have a lot of free-time to care for your pets whenever you require my services. I will give your pet all the love and attention they need. If you have a more active pet no problem! I've played sports for years so we can play fetch or take a trip to the park. If you have a older pet or less active I can bring the activity level to where your pet is most happy and comfortable.
“Sharon and James sat with our guys in home for a week, did great with the indoor pets and the poultry didn’t scare them off. Everything went well, they were very communicative throughout, and everyone was calm and happy when we got back!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 527 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Macedon. 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 Macedon 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 Macedon 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 Macedon 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.
