“Taresse was amazing! She was on time, flexible, very attentive to our dog and cat (and gecko) and very responsive. Taresse was very sweet with both our furry pets. She played ball with Loki and even got our cat to come out and get pets/attention. She also was very gracious when there were a few scheduling hiccups that we made on our side. I would highly recommend her!”

About: From a dog-filled childhood to a mom who ran a humane society, my journey makes me your pets ideal companion. I have extensive experience with a wide variety of breeds. My tall stature ensures safe, fun times for all dogs or cats. All sizes welcome. Your pets are sure to receive the love and attention they need to make them feel safe in your absence. In addition to their 3 daily short walks, your babies will get 1 long walk or run a day around the lake, where we can get some exercise and go on a “sniffari.” They’ll also have access to our large, fenced-in backyard to play and hang out. Pictures and videos included at no cost of course! My years of experience with animals has taught me that every pet is unique and needs different levels of care and attention to ensure not only their safety but their happiness. As a baseline, all walks will be leashed with an appropriately sized collar/harness. In my absence your pet will have a private room in the house with a comfortable bed, toys, food, water, and lots of sunshine. Please communicate with me about any special attention your animal may need and I will be sure that they are tended to.

About: Hello my name is Naedra and I have experience with dogs for 12 years now. I love taking walks and interacting as well as getting trust with my friends! I am available any time. I am able to come to your home or have them over mine. At the moment I have no pets so your pet will be the main priority. I have 4 amazing children who are loving and understand the importance of being gentle with your babies! There are a few requirements that I would like to check off. And we can speak about that in private. If you have any conserns with my children we can always set up a meet and greet. We really hope to meet and care for your pups! As I said before I’m free at any time between the hours 9-8pm. Sunday through Saturday’s. Summers I’m s little more busy but the calendar will be updated by then. We live in a town and a quiet community that has plenty of dog friends to meet as we walk. They would make new friends in the way!

“Paula was reliable, communicative, and willing to take on administering oral medication for both of my cats, which I really appreciated since that can be hard to find. There was a bit of a learning curve at the start with the medication process, but she adapted quickly and was receptive to guidance. I would book Paula again for future visits. She did a great job and I’m grateful for her services.”

About: Hi, I’m Hannah! Over my lifetime my family has fostered over 50 dogs. While I specialize in hounds, I’ve had a wide exposure to many different breeds of dogs. I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility for several months before transitioning to becoming a nanny. While there I learned how to manage multiple dogs at once, bathe and trim nails, and how to support various behavioral differences. I have also owned 2 cats and have cared for many cats in my lifetime, max being 5 at a time all in the same house. I have administered medicine to both dogs and cats, having experience of caring for pets 1 year through senior years (16+). Our pets are like our family members and deserve the best care. I love to send updates on your pets throughout my time watching them as well, and will take plenty of photos. I am an eager learner as well, so if your pet has any specific needs I’m willing to work with you so I can best take care of your pets! I also have some experience with various reptiles. I’m excited to meet and support you and your pets needs! I’m currently transitioning careers, so I have full availability to stay as long as needed. While I have a few activities out of the home such as church and the gym, I’m mostly available. They usually don’t last more than 2 hours, so your pets will never be left alone long. I absolutely love to pet and play with various pets! Depending on the specific animal’s temperament, I’m flexible to play more, or relax with them. I can be adaptable for whatever care requirements your pets may have, whether it be medications, bathing, or exercise. While I don’t jog, I’m happy to take things at a leisurely pace. I also am very familiar with counter surfing, so I will be sure to maintain any pet proofing that the home may require. I can also send updates as frequently as you would like.

About: I grew up with dogs and fostered sick and behavior needs dogs (and 2 cats) in home for three years. I've trained and cared for puppies and older dogs. I love interacting with dogs and getting them outdoors for fun and exercise. My work schedule varies and I can be flexible for walking hours. I'm happy to care for pets in their own home and provide them the best care with minimal disruptions to their routine. I currently don't have space to board but I'm happy to care for dogs in their own home and take them for walks or hikes.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have six years of pet care experience. As a Biology Pre-Med student at Howard University, I balance my passion for science with my love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, including puppies and senior dogs. I provide attentive care, ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away ☺️❤️ As a student at Howard University, my school schedule keeps me busy, but I have plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays Mondays and Tuesdays from 8am-4pm and open Fridays. Making sure your pets receive the attention and exercise they need. I have a spacious home, perfect for dog sitting, with plenty of room for pets to play and feel comfortable. I’m also open to dog sitting in clients’ homes if preferred.

About: Hi Im TJ, a lifelong dog lover who truly understands how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve been there myself, and that’s exactly why I joined Rover, to offer pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is safe, loved, and well cared for. My Care Philosophy: I treat every pup I care for like my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their comfort and well-being. I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very hands on and present throughout the day. Whether your pup is energetic or laid back, I’m able to match their vibe and provide a safe, nurturing environment. I have experience with administering medication, puppies and elderly dogs. In my home, I specialize and care for small and medium sized pups. I’m focused on quality care, I make sure each pup has a comfortable, cozy setup. I understand that every pup is unique, so I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help reduce any stress or anxiety. What to Expect •Constant supervision and companionship •Lots of playtime, affection, and mental stimulation •Regular walks, potty breaks, and updates to you •A calm, pet-friendly home environment • Crate-Trained Canines Only Your pup must be crate-trained because we serve meals and naps in their cozy "doggy suite." While you’re away I’m here to make your pup feel at ease, cared for, and loved. As someone who works from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to consistent potty breaks and cuddle sessions. Pet care is naturally built into my routine, so your pup will never feel alone or overlooked. I also keep their spaces clean, cozy, and calm to make them feel right at home. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where dogs feel safe and loved. I follow each pup’s routine closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, quiet rest, and use crates for overnight safety and comfort in line with Rover Trust & Safety guidance. For drop in visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention while keeping their home routines consistent and stress free.

Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. My shy cat even came out after only a couple of days to be pet, which is not something she does with just anyone! Jessica also provided me advice on lockboxes, which was needed in my specific building to enable easy access. She is much appreciated and I hope to rebook with her in the future!

We are new to Rover. This was our visit. Richard helped us through the process and answered all our questions. He was a terrific sitter. From our initial visit we felt instantly comfortable with him and the way he interacted with our cat. We had a week long trip and never worried. We would definitely recommend him!

Yasmine is the best person you could possibly have to care for your fur baby! All week I received detailed visit reports and many adorable pictures. First time I had left my 7 year old big kitty but after first visit knew he was in the best of hands! Yasmine even washed the couch cover when he threw up and took out trash/litter which I never would have expected. She figured out his favorite thing is to snuggle on top of you and indulged him. Yasmine will be one I call when need arises and I strongly recommend her!!!!!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - MacGills Common

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in MacGills Common is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 16,340 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across MacGills Common. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in MacGills Common. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
