“Ashley was incredible! We needed help at the last minute as we were heading out of the country and Ashley happily stepped in and treated our pup like a queen.”
“Our pups loved their time with Rebecca! She is very detail oriented for their care and communicated well with daily photos. Even left our house in as clean condition as we left it in, which is greatly appreciated :) 10/10 would recommend”
“Jenna was wonderful! She accepted my last-minute request and took such great care of my dog and home. She was kind, respectful, and very communicative throughout the stay. I really appreciated the photo updates. It definitely put me at ease knowing my dog was happy and well looked after. I’d certainly book with Jenna again!”
“Words cannot explain how at peace we were with Gabriella being at our house for 2 weeks and taking care of our fur babies! The boys were well loved and taken care of, the house was spotless and the communication was top notch! Don't hesitate for a single second, she is the best one out there!!”
“Ross took excellent care of Rocky, who can be a real challenge at times! He went above and beyond in keeping the house super clean and keeping my potted herbs watered during the extreme heat. So grateful to be able to travel in peace knowing everything will be handled in my absence.”
“Cara took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was communicative, sending regular updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was well cared for and in great hands. I had such a positive experience that I’m already booking with her again. I recommend Cara to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Kayla is amazing! My dogs and cat loved her! I could tell how happy they were in the photos she sent. She house sat for the weekend, and was exceptionally clean and considerate. My senior dog is diabetic and a picky eater, and she was able to get him to eat all his meals! With her background as a vet tech I completely trusted her with giving him is insulin. She’s so kind and took such good care of my pets!”
“Great dog and house sitter! Natalie went beyond the call of duty when she found that our dog killed 2 baby rabbits in our yard. She found the rabbits nest, rescued 2 bunnies that were still alive, got in touch with experts and followed their guidance for protecting the nest. She left the house neat and clean. And most important she was great with our otherwise friendly dog.”
“Marsha took amazing care of my dog for an entire week, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the moment she arrived at my home, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. Marsha provided frequent updates and pictures, which I truly appreciated—it allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. It’s clear that Marsha genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I returned to find my dog happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Marsha again in the future. Thank you, Marsha, for doing such an incredible job!”
“Thank you to Max for taking such great care of our home and 4 fur babies (2 cats, 2 dogs) while we were away for a long weekend! He was very responsible and communicative before, during, and after his stay. Our household situation is a little complicated because some of our animals don’t get along and need to remain separated, but he handled it extremely well. I felt that he asked all the right questions that demonstrated his past animal and house sitting experience and his attention to detail. We would absolutely work with Max again!”
“Lauryn was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, and she was responsive to messages. We will definitely book her again the next time we go on vacation!”
About: **I currently have two dogs of my own, but they stay at my partner's home if I am boarding your dog!** Hi! I’m a PhD student who has called St. Louis home for the past five years, and I’m currently in the final stages of writing my dissertation. The good news for your pets? I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, belly rubs, playtime, and keeping your furry friends company while you’re away! I am located in The Grove with access to a dog park at my apartment complex as well as walking distance to both Forest Park & Tower Grove Park for pups that enjoy long walks. One of my dogs loves people and dislikes other dogs, while the other one enjoys dogs and is wary of people so I have experience with a variety of dog personalities and their differing needs. Whether your pet is a professional cuddler, an energetic adventurer, or simply here for the treats, I’d love to spoil them ◡̈ Since I work from home while finishing my PhD dissertation, pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. 🐾 My schedule is much more “read a paper, take a dog for a walk, write a paragraph, give belly rubs” than a traditional 9-to-5. I can easily adapt to the schedule of your pup! I’m happy to build pet care into my day and give your pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Having a furry coworker around is honestly a pretty great dissertation-writing perk! 😂 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or theirs, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see what your furry family member is up to. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe & happy!
“Devon did a great job taking care of my two young cavapoos for 2 weeks in my home. She handled their complex diets well and was willing to co-ordinate visits/walks from family and friends during my absence. She also responded to all of my queries about how the pups were doing as this was my first long vacation without the dogs. She was all very accommodating about their daily schedule as well as any issues with the house and snow storm!”
“Bridget did a wonderful job with both our cat and dog. She went above and beyond with regards to sending photos, keeping us up to date on everything, and making sure our pets were happy. It was visible in the photos how comfy and content our pets were with her. She even did arts and crafts with them and took Letti to get ice cream. On top of all this, Bridget was watching our pets at a point where the cat and dog were getting used to living with one another, and she did a wonderful job giving them supervised interactions and continuing our socialization for both of them while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Allison was amazing. Willing to meet before we left town, sent us a picture every day, was flexible when we needed her to come earlier than originally planned, and left our house cleaner than she found it! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Tori took great care of our 2 dogs and 3 cats (plus a stray kitty staying with us!) she was flexible and communicative - we are so grateful for her taking on the care of our chaotic household.”
About: I am a traveler who wants to spend weeks home with your pet!! I have owned dogs of all ages and know how to speak the language! Woof! I am extremely available when scheduled and will let you know otherwise. I make my own schedule so I am highly available when I am not traveling! Very flexible. Always honest about my availability and what I am able to provide. I am very good at reading what a dog needs and not lazy about it. Walk at 5 am? On it. Weird feeding times? Not a problem.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Mackenzie is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mackenzie
They were Great with a capital "G". So attentive to both cats and keep me well informed even helped with my garden/lawn watering when my irrigation system quit during one of the hottest weeks of the year. Got tons of pictures and videos. And Jenny was able to brush my old cat who normally resist anyone but me. She's a true cat-whisperer!!
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Kayla! This is the first time we’ve ever had to have a pet sitter that wasn’t family and our pup is super anxious anytime we leave. Kayla was great! She provided lots of updates and pictures on Jojo was here at the time we requested and kept the house clean since she was staying with him! Bonus, her vet tech experience definitely made us feel better about her staying with our anxious boy. Will be using her again in the future and highly recommend her!!
Alexandra watched my German Shepherd and senior cat while I was away for a float trip over the weekend. Even though she knew I would be in an area with limited cell reception, she took the time to send pictures and updates a few times a day so they’d arrive when I did have service. I could tell that my printed care instructions were followed because they were checked off and notes added where needed. Alexandra also went the extra mile and took the time to brush my cat, strip the bedding off the bed, and leave a written note before she left. Would highly recommend Alexandra as a petsitter!
Julia stayed with my pup Fiona for 3 nights and was wonderful! Fiona took to her immediately, zooming around the when Julia came over for the meet and greet (an activity usually reserved for special friends and family). Julia was professional, responsive, and took care to leave my place tidy. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Julia!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mackenzie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mackenzie on Rover is $53.5 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 1,638 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mackenzie. 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 Mackenzie 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 Mackenzie 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 Mackenzie 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.
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.
