“Makenna left the dogs happy and well taken care of! I would have loved more updates but that isn’t as big of a deal as making sure my babies are happy and they are! Would book again!”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and little quirks so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m very attentive and dependable, and I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and my goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both of you! So i currently am i xray tech and ma at Baptist urgent care in Little Rock, and my schedule is put out to where i work a couple days in a row, and then I’m off for a couple days and I get bored with those days I’m off and I want something I love to do! So in my house I have 3 dogs, I have a fenced in yard and I also have sun shade around my entire fence! My top priority is my dogs safety no matter what! And with someone’s else’s babies their safety always comes first!
“Alaina was so great with our large pup Cooper. He was so well cared for and we received frequent updates. Cooper loved his walks and cuddle times - we have already booked Alaina for two more stays.”

“Cailey stayed with our boys several times over yhe course of 4 years. She was always responsive, respectful of our home and provided updates everyday. We recently moved out of state and dread having to find another sitter because we loved and trusted Cailey.”
About: I’m a college student in Health Sciences, so I have an intense care of others and animals. I ensure all humans and animals are loved and feel safe! I’m a college student who works part time, I’m always in Central Arkansas majority of the days. I tend to linger in Conway, Little Rock or Cabot. I will play with your little furry friends and cuddle with them. Tend to their needs. I will also send pictures of them because who doesn’t want cute pictures of their furry friends!
“Sarah S. was fantastic! She showed up on time and immediately held our toy poodle mix who gravitated to her right away. She listened to his care instructions and did what we asked while we were gone. When I would text her to check on him, she quickly replied also sending photos of him. He stresses very easily but he didn't feel a moment of stress with Sarah! If we ever need a pet sitter again we won't hesitate to contact her.”
“I forget to leave feedback after great stays, because Madison already feels like family when she’s here! Also, I’m scared my great reviews will put her in high demand and Buddy doesn’t want to lose her!”
About: For the past two years, I’ve cared for my neighbor’s pets while they were away, including overnight house sitting and daily routines. I provided consistent feeding, walking, playtime, and lots of love. I’m reliable, respectful of others’ homes, and treat every pet like they’re my own. During the summer, I am available Mondays and Fridays all day, and evenings after 5 PM on Tuesdays through Thursdays due to my internship. Once the school year begins, I am a full-time student at UCA, but I remain available for weekend care, evening drop-ins or walks, and overnight stays with advance notice. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and coordinate care that fits both our schedules! I have two dogs of my own that I care for daily, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I’ll treat your pets with the same attention and compassion I give my own, ensuring they get the care they need and deserve.
“I have an 11 yr old female pittie who gets stressed and sick when her Momma leaves her, so boarding became impossible. Charlotte was an absolute life-saver. She stayed in my home with my May for 4 nights and dedicated days. She was so intuitive and attentive to my baby's needs. By the time I got to my phone to answer questions concerning May's behavior, she had already figured it out by paying close attention to her just as I do! I've never seen her so relaxed and happy as if I never left. I will definitely be calling on Charlotte again.”
About: I have a dog of my own! I’ve dog sitting for neighbors and friends for a few years. I love animals so much. I would love to help in anyway way I can I do work at a tanning salon but other than that I’m free! I will be very communicative with you about my schedule and will let you know everything I currently have a cane corso! I walk him all them time with no problems. He has a crate so I can easily crate dogs if needed
About: I'll give your pet the attention, care and playtime they need so they can have an amazing time while you are away on vacation or business Pet care works perfectly into my daily routine as a Movement & Health coach. I can drop by and check on your pet multiple times per day and even stay over. I do not plan on boarding animals at my residence. I am open to housing sitting with your animal. It's better for the animal to be in the environment that they are use to.
“Katie H. sent only relevant messages, arrived on time and was gracious above and beyond expectations. I first booked two dogs, Mandy and Clarice. At the last minute she agreed to my adding a third dog, Winnie. Clarice was old, was diabetic and was not friendly due to her condition. Mandy was a normal, active 3-year old and Winnie was a 5-month old puppy. Katie sent us a couple of photos, and all three dogs were perfectly calm when we arrived after our event. This was my first experience with Rover.com, and I am truly impressed thanks to Katie.”
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my two Newfoundlands and my home. She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about the dogs as if they were her own. Every day she kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and in great condition when I returned. The house was also well looked after. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional dog sitter. I couldn’t be happier with her service!”
About: I’ve loved animals since before I could remember! I grew up in Scott on land with dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, and fish! Now I have a border collie husky mix, he’s 4 years old. :) My work schedule differs every week so message me to see my availability. I consistently work from 7-4 Monday through Friday and the rest of the time will change! I have a very large unfenced yard where there is plenty of space for dogs to be themselves. I have plenty of toys that I could bring with me or have at my house for boarding. I could crate your dog if needed (not required at all).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Macon
Bridget was wonderful! She really listened to all the quirks of our pups, and accommodated them tremendously. She gave snuggles, played with them, took them on walks, all the fun things while keeping us updated along the way. We’re pretty sure the boys loved her so much, because when we came home, they kept looking for “someone” periodically at the front door. We can genuinely say they had a great time without us home. Thank you, Bridget!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 308 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Macon. 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 Macon 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 Macon 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 Macon 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
