“This was Captain’s first time with Yolanda. She took care of him in our home for two days. Cap can be a handful because he’s reactive to dogs and cars. She did a great job of anticipating issues and redirecting his attention. Overall, Yolanda was very professional, gave us updates and photos twice a day and responded quickly whenever we tried to contact her. We’ll be happy to have her take care of him again.”
“I’ve used Kayla more than once and always have a great experience. She took excellent care of my two dogs and cat for two weeks, sent daily photo updates, and left our home clean—even washing the sheets before she left. She’s also very flexible and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Alena is a blessing. She watched our pups for a long weekend. She knew exactly how to interact with our nervous pup to put her at ease and gave her enough reassurance that Arya settled quickly. We felt a 100% comfortable leaving 2 furry personalities in Alena's care! Can't wait to book her again!”
“Justin did a wonderful job caring for Queen and Isaiah! He sent daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. The dogs looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable snuggling with him—their favorite activity. We returned home to two happy pets and would gladly book Justin again. Highly recommend!”
“Ryan did an amazing job taking care of our Ricki in our house while we were away. She constantly communicated with us and sent pictures. She also did an excellent job managing Ricki's distrust of strangers. She also helped us by feeding our fish, and collecting our mail. Overall and excellent job, I will definitely use her services”
“Claudia is great. She has watched our pets multiple times. She is great at communication, sends pictures throughout her sitting period, shares important info, asks questions to ensure our pets are taken care of just how we want them to be, and she is a great house guest - very respectful and always timely. We will continue to use Claudia regularly :)”
About: As a teacher, I am organized, dependable, and attentive to details. I have experience caring for cats and walking dogs, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and well cared for while they're away. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, providing updates, and maintaining a pet's normal routine. As a teacher, I am used to maintaining a consistent schedule and following routines. During the summer, I have increased flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. During the school year, I am available before and after work, evenings, weekends, and for overnight house-sitting arrangements. I work to maintain a pet's normal routine and provide dependable care while their owners are away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is important. I carefully follow care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if applicable), and household routines. I provide updates and photos when requested and strive to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I treat every home with respect and prioritize the safety and well-being of each pet in my care.
“We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Taresse was absolutely wonderful in every way caring for our dog and 2 cats and our home while we were away on vacation! She is incredibly conscientious, responsive, flexible, kind, caring, thoughtful and responsible. She sent us wonderful photos so we could see our happy pets and always responded immediately when I would reach out with a text. It is very clear she cares deeply for animals and provides them with a lot of loving attention. She went above and beyond to clean up, disinfect and organize our basement specifically to make a nicer environment for one of our cats that has a chronic illness. She is an absolutely lovely and very trustworthy person and we were able to have great peace of mind while away on vacation.”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“We feel lucky to have found Erika to take care of our pups! She sent lots of great pictures and regular updates without us even having to ask. The house was in perfect condition when we got home, and the pups reported only good things! We'd be happy to have Erika watch Brie and Pod again in the future.”
“We had such a great experience with Sophia. She responded at the last minute, which we truly appreciated, and took wonderful care of our dog despite the snowy weather. She made sure he still got his walks and all the attention he needed, even with the challenging conditions. It was such a relief knowing he was in caring, reliable hands. We’re really grateful and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Liz was fantastic! She communicated quickly and often. She took great care of our pup, Emma! She left our house clean and even put away groceries I had delivered! She exceeded my expectations and I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Sara did a wonderful job with watching our pups while we were gone. They were calm and not anxious when we returned. They were well loved. The house looked great when we returned too! We highly recommend Sara!”
“Madeline was absolutely phenomenal; super communicative, sent me updates of how things were going, and friendly. Most importantly, my dog was well taken care of and had a great time. Madeline truly went above and beyond in every way possible.”
“Briana was great! We had a special situation where our two pups just met and so they had to be separated during her visit. And both of them are anxious. Briana handled it perfectly and was so sweet to them. From the minute we met her we knew she’d be excellent with our pups. She is reliable, responsible, communicative and so sweet. She gave us so much peace of mind we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use her again. Highly Recommend!”

Ashley was fantastic with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She stayed at our home and sent pictures frequently, and was easy to communicate with. My pets were so calm when we got home and you could tell they were well taken care of! She also helped out with other tasks like watering my plants and putting out the recycling. We will definitely be booking with Ashley again in the future.
We feel lucky to have found Erika to take care of our pups! She sent lots of great pictures and regular updates without us even having to ask. The house was in perfect condition when we got home, and the pups reported only good things! We'd be happy to have Erika watch Brie and Pod again in the future.
Jessica spent a week taking care of our dying 80 lb dog that has to be hoisted with a harness to walk while we were at our son’s wedding. She was beyond amazing! She went to heroic lengths to keep him alive and comfortable until we could get home. She was so communicative and willing to do anything we asked. She gave us constant updates and reassurance. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she has been with our beloved Riley. She is absolutely the best person you could find to take care of your animals.
Madison took excellent care of our dog Daisy while we were away. She communicated with us regularly and Daisy seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. She also went out of her way to help us when there was an unexpected power outage. We highly recommend her!
Kim was absolutely amazing. She came and spent time with our very anxious girl before the stay to make sure she was comfortable. She sent frequent updates and rarely left the house. She went above and beyond in all aspects. Can’t wait to use her services in the future
Sarah was amazing when watching our two dogs and cat while we were away on vacation. The animals were loved and well taken care of during her watch. The house was taken care of and she was very communicative and prompt with her replies. She took lots of pictures and gave the perfect amount of updates.
Came home to a tidy house and two very cuddly pets. Our dog is pretty high needs in terms of attention, and our cat is terrified of new people. We got plenty of pics and updates over the 10 days we were out, and by the end of their time together the cat was actually coming out to spend time with her and the dog, which normally would take him months of meeting a person. Cannot recommend enough, and would absolutely book again.
Absolutely great! My dogs are very scared when left alone over the 4th of July and they felt very secure with her there. Our cat is also a very needy boy who constantly demands whatever he wants and she handled it perfectly. She also gave a ton of pictures and gave a lot of updates. I would definitely book again!
Amanda and her daughter were INCREDIBLE!!! They were so attentive to our pups and gave them just as much love as we do when we’re home! I was completely at ease with them there!!! Pups were always smiling and tails wagging!! Very communicative and respectful!! Will for sure be booking her again!!!
I wish I could give Yasmine a million stars! She is so attentive. When one of our dogs was having tummy issues, she offered to make her a plain meal to help. She is so responsive and sends so many pictures and updates. We were so nervous leaving our babies but she is a pro. 100% recommend her and we will be using her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - MacGills Common
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in MacGills Common on Rover is $53 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,372 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across MacGills Common. 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 MacGills Common 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 MacGills Common 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 MacGills Common 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.

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.
