About: I personally have 11 cats in our house and seven dogs. Most of the dogs are 30 pounds or less but we also have a golden retriever and a labrador. I have some experience giving medication but depends on how open your pet is to their meds. I currently work full time hours but have time for overnight stays on the weekends. I also have time for drop in/checkup visits and walks on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after 6pm. On Fridays I have time for drop in visits noon or later. Exact details can be discussed based on location. I only offer services in the comfort of your own home as I have too many animals at my house to make accommodations. Having your pet remain in your home will help them feel more at ease in your absence.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, from fostering puppies and kittens from the animal shelter to raising many dogs and cats! My family raised me to be an animal lover as we care for animals in such a different way. I have done overnight sittings, walkings, and day care visits for many friends and family and decided to join here to expand my abilities! I love getting to know all different kinds of animals and being able to provide them the love and care they need while their owners are away. I am currently going to start sonography school and I am not able to work a full-time job as a result I would love to watch your babies.I usually like to go for walks so it would be easy to fit any animal in my schedule as well! I have a big teddy bear of a dog that is the most spoiled rescue dog ever! If i am staying at the owners house I let them feel comfortable sleeping with me and I always clean up after myself if at someone else’s house and make sure to always keep the house tidy!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, fish, and other beloved pets — learning that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and lovingly care for their pets while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, active, and genuinely loved in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like family. As a gentle added touch, I’m also experienced in animal reiki, which I’m happy to incorporate during visits if welcomed by both pet and owner to help encourage relaxation and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are with love, warmth and care. I currently work part-time. I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and weekends, including most holidays. I have a fenced dog-friendly where your dog can roam and play. I have a beautiful lawn and a beautiful tree lined neighborhood for long walks.

Ava is a reliable dog sitter. My dog was well cared for in my home while I was away. She is quick to respond to texts. Everything went smoothly. I would recommend Ava and use her again.

About: I used to have an auggie, which I sadly had to give away when we moved. He was very hyper and loved to play. I walked around the neighborhood with him, took him to the dog park - or played with him at home in order to tire him out. I am a college student currently taking online classes, I have plenty of time before or after class to take care of your furry companion(s) I like to make sure my own pets have a clean and comfortable environment, refilling and cleaning their food and water dishes as well as any litter. I also love to play with them and give em treats. I'll make sure to give your fur babies the same treatment!

He was asking a lot of questions about Maddie and that says a lot. You can tell he loves animals and this isn't just a hassle for money. Maddie had an instant liking for Rafael and that isn't common for her. Will be using Rafael again for sure.

Monica is amazing! She took such good care of our pups; specialized walks depending on energy levels, park play, spent time giving attention and love to them while being on top of all medicines or ointments. My dogs absolutely adore her and I will definitely book again and again with her! 🐶🩷🐶🩷

About: Hi! My name is Brianna and I'm a dog mom myself and would love to watch yours :) I’m a volunteer as a dog walker at the Antioch shelter along with the Martinez shelter on my free time. I have no restrictions when it comes to breeds and I’m more than happy to take extra time to get acquainted with your pets! I don’t have any “professional” training experience but I’ve trained many shelter dogs with basic commands like sit and lay down, and with walking on leash. I use positive reinforcement with low calorie treats to achieve this. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet you and your pets in the near future :) I’m currently on summer break from college so I have a lot of time on my hands! My hours are flexible and I’m happy to work something out. I can provide any service you request in your home, from walking your dog to watering plants to anything you need! I’m familiar with crate training and will be sure to take caution with securing your home when I'm going in and out.

About: I helped my parents take care of there friends dogs since I was 8 and they've taught me a lot. Also my mom worked at Petco and worked in animal care and she told me and taught me what she's learned from her experience at work with cats and other animals. I've been currently looking for a job and havent had any luck so I have a lot of free time on my hands weekdays and weekends!! When we went to go sit my parents friends dogs we would feed them every morning and evening and then let them run around in the backyard they had a doggie door in their bedroom so for the most part the dogs had access to the bathroom to go potty and come and go as they please. But when we hung out in the living room with them since there was no access to a doggy door we would let them out around 3-4 times per day we would also walk them in the morning and sunset and feed them either before or after there walk depending on their actions and vibes

From energetic puppies to senior companions and special needs dogs requiring extra patience and attentive care, no temperament or situation is unfamiliar. Decades of working closely with dogs have built a deep understanding of behavior, health, routines, and the small details that make each pet feel safe and secure. As a trusted pet sitter for neighbors year after year, I'm known for reliability, gentle leadership, and the ability to step into any home and create an environment where dogs feel relaxed, understood, and truly cared for.

Without the constraints of a traditional work schedule, I’m available on a consistent daily or weekly basis, allowing me to provide dependable, unrushed care and genuine companionship. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding routines, medication support, or simply being a calm presence in the home, I’m able to give pets the attention they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind. This season of life allows me to focus on what I enjoy most — caring for animals with patience, reliability, and heart. 🐾 I provide flexible, personalized care based on what each pet and owner need most. Whether staying in a client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment, dropping in for scheduled visits to handle feeding, playtime, and medications, or simply stopping by for a refreshing walk and some exercise, I make sure every visit is calm, attentive, and tailored to their routine. My goal is to maintain consistency, reduce stress, and ensure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away or busy.

About: I’ve had dogs and tons of animals (cats, mice, lizards, bunnies, etc.) through out my life. I currently have a toy poodle, I trained, I groom him myself and I make his food. He is a healthy boy that has never eaten kibble. I currently have a cat and pitbull at my parents house I also care for when my parents go out of town. I love animals and they love me back I can show you better than I can tell you! I’m very patient. I never use harsh reinforcement to correct my fur babies. Time, Love, Consistency and Patience is the key to an amazing dog with great behaviors! I’m currently working part time/reduced hours. I have open availability. I’m very flexible also when it comes to dog parents schedules and things coming up. Love number one. Learn the dog. I’m there to serve them. Comfort and good communication.

About: I’ve housed and cared for dogs and cats of different sizes and personality types simultaneously in the same house on a regular basis. Nothing’s new. If you want nightly care throughout the week and pet sitting during family trips. I can definitely coordinate with your schedule or if there are any special needs pets. I measure each personality, always create a safe zone for more timid types. Having a consistent routine for each pet to make sure there is an even amount of stimulation distributed throughout the group.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mackenson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 2,508 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mackenson. 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 Mackenson 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 Mackenson 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 Mackenson 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
