“Bee was amazing with my guy! Super quick to respond and I got a bunch of cute photo updates while I was an away. Bee’s demeanor is incredibly warm and Mac warmed right up with her. I would definitely recommend and hope to use Bee again!”
“McKenna and Charlie (my dog) got along great from the moment they met. I knew right there I made the right chose to care for Charlie while I was gone. McKenna was very responsible and kept me informed I will definitely call her when I need someone again”
“Janis was amazing with our cat Em. She had Em sitting on the sofa with her within minutes of arriving at our home....a true cat whisperer. It was also nice to receive photos of Em, while we were gone. When we returned home, the house was tidy and all linens washed, which was very thoughtful of Janis. We will definately use Janis for our catsitting needs in the future. Thank you Janis!”
About: Hi! I'm Megan, and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew upon a farm and currently have a 130 lb. Newfoundland, so I'm very comfortable handling large breeds as well as small dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I follow care instructions carefully and treat every home with respect. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medications, or simply keeping your pets company, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I provide clear communication and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and can provide morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. Since my daughter is sometimes with her dad I am also available for overnight house sitting. I plan my day around your pet's routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I treat your home and pets with respect and care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines you provide. I am comfortable with large and giant breeds, and I prioritize safety, secure doors, and clear communication. You will receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“I heartily recommend Quyanna! We received regular reports with photos, she took our dog out on hikes and snuggled with her at home, we returned to a happy dog and a spotless house. She is very personable and easy to work with. What more could you ask for? Nothing!”
“Christy was really great with our two pups while we traveled. She spent tons of time with them, took them on walks, and kept us updated with pics and videos. It was so nice to travel and not worry about our dogs!”
About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds and ages. As a licensed pharmacist, I have extensive experience safely administering medications — both to pets and humans — and I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your furry family members get exactly the care they need. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with a wonderful German Shepherd and two rescue cats. Though my current housing situation doesn’t allow me to have pets of my own right now, I still cherish every moment I get to spend with other people’s pets. I especially love active dogs — bonus points if yours is a frisbee enthusiast! You can trust that your pets will receive attentive, compassionate care in a calm and structured environment while you’re away. I work part-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide lots of attentive, one-on-one time with your pets throughout the day. I’m very active and love going on walks, runs, or trips to the park, so I’m a great match for energetic dogs or playful cats. My availability is generally flexible, though it works best if you’re comfortable with my children (ages 9 and 11) joining me during visits if your booking falls on my parenting time (please ask if it’s an issue). I’ve been trusted by many clients — including friends and strangers alike — to care for their beloved pets and homes. I provide daily updates and photos throughout each booking so you can stay connected and feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Jordana was absolutely amazing with my injured 12 year old dog! My pup's nerve injury definitely makes it complicated to find a trustworthy pet sitter, so I was thrilled to find someone as calm, qualified, and communicative as Jordana. She updated me throughout the weekend, which definitely helped MY anxiety!! I'll definitely be booking her again, 10/10 recommend!!”
“Alexandria took very good care of our dog Steve. It was our first time hiring someone to take care of him so I was a little hesitant, but she was so nice and sweet with him during our initial visit and I know Steve was in good care with her. She immediately sent a picture showing Steve snuggling which made me very happy knowing he was in good hands.”
About: I have been around dogs of different temperaments and personalies my whole life and I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every dog I come across. When I spend time with my dogs I enjoy being outside and active, just as much as hanging out and giving pets. I've never met a dog I didn't get along with, and I promise they'll love hanging out with me (maybe too much). I like to either go for a walk, run, ski, or maybe even for an excursion into the mountains. It really depends on the dog though. If we need to keep it low-key then we'll just do a few laps in the neighborhood or even just hang out at home. Aside from getting the pup some exercise, I will often go spend time with friends or go run errands. In these cases I like to bring the dog with me as much as possible, but again, it depends on the dog. If you have a younger dog I can do some very basic training in obedience, commands and behavior. I work inconsistent hours and days. Outside of that I spend time outside or at the house cooking and hanging out with friends. Typically if I'm not working I will spend most of the day with the pet. When I do work, I can be gone 8 to 14 hours, so I like to get up super early to walk the dog, and take care of chores. This really depends on the pet. Some dogs like to flee if they get out, some like to stay around the people. Some dogs are friendly to other dogs, some are not. Some are all bark and no bite, some no bark and all bite. Learning how the dog does in different situations helps me figure out where I can take them, and how to take care of them and keep them safe. I think the big thing about house sitting is making sure they have everything they need before I leave them for an extended period of time: taking them out to poo, making sure they're fed, making sure there's no human food left out for them to snatch, etc.
About: Hey, I'm Riley! I grew up in Bend, OR my whole life. I moved to Texas in 2019, and just moved back in the middle of 2025. I ran a dog sitting business in Texas and had the pleasure of watching over 200 dogs during my time there (in and outside of Rover). Watching dogs has brought so much joy into my life, and I’ve built strong relationships with both the pets and their owners - I've never had a single client with a bad experience. Aside from dog watching, I’m a local insurance agent with the flexibility of being able to work remote whenever I want to. If needed, I’ll never leave your pups alone unless it’s for a quick grocery run or needed errand. My guarantee: - I never board dogs from different owners at the same time. - While leashed, no dog will ever get away from me, no matter the size. I am bigger than 99% of people and will always remain in control. - Your dog will remember me if we meet again! I spend lots of time loving on these dogs😁 Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I’m available on call 24/7! Since I’m not required to be in the office at all times, my schedule is super flexible with being able to do this. Depending on your dog’s needs, I will always give TONS of attention and affection! I give walks & potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Even more often for puppies.
“We have a 9 year old Mini Dachshund with a history of back problems. He also has stranger danger. Stacey immediately endeared herself to him and in every picture we received he looked so content. She had excellent communication and made us feel like we could relax on vacation because our best friend was in excellent care! We are looking forward to having Stacey stay again!”
About: I have my own dog, got him at 12 weeks he is 7 now. I also grew up with dogs as a kid to adulthood. My dog has a lot of health problems so I know a bit when it comes to a sensitive dogs or ones that needs things done a certain way because of a condition. It really depends on the day, but mostly I could so daily or weekly. I’m dealing with some health stuff and my dog has too. So I’m currently working on those but have plenty of time most days to do something like this. I have a fenced in yard for my dog, when I was in college one house I did it so he was constantly on a leash outside, another house I was in had fences but had to patch them up and make sure he couldn’t get out. I also created my dog at night he loves his crate. During the day when he is alone he has most of the house free to roam, but I will put down potty pads just in case. If clients are okay with there dog out or crated I’m for both.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years with experience with all types of breeds, age, and specific care needs! I provide detailed updates every couple hours to ensure you can rest assured knowing your babies are having fun with you are on your vacation! I can’t wait to love on your fur babies! I work around your schedule and pet’s routine. I provide a walk in morning (and evening if you would like)! I can give feedings as much as your pup requires during the day, along with medications. I have a fenced in yard and always monitor when my pups go outside to play! I pick up poop daily to make sure their environment is clean.
About: I am an animal lover who has taken care of many different animals in my community. I have experience training my own dogs as well working alongside a trainer learning those skills. Right now I work in Bend but I have flexibility within my week. I get off work by 3 and will be available to give lots of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard at my home and if I am in your home I would be able to be flexible about what works for your dog and your family.
“Emily was the best sitter we could have asked for! She constantly took Otto to the park and for bike rides and her pups Eve and Luna became Otto’s best friends. We loved knowing Otto was in his own home on our trip. We could tell he was so happy when we came back, and she left our house in even better shape than when we left! Otto is already looking forward to her next stay.”
About: I work from home, so I will be with your dog all day/ night. My dogs are young high energy, so l understand how important it is for them to get adequate exercise. My dogs get out at least twice a day whether it's to the dog park, hiking at good dog, swimming in the Deschutes, or biking along it. I like to make sure they get a variety of activities to ensure they aren't bored and get all their energy out daily. Your pet can join us on all adventures, and I can accommodate to their needs! Your dog is treated as my own when it's in my care. They have access to a fully fenced yard with room to run and play, as well as two very happy, friendly dogs to keep them company. In between adventures, they can join me in my home office while I work, and they will get lots of cuddles and enriching toys to keep them busy. I rescued my youngest dog, Pepper through Street Dog Hero and understand and can accommodate different needs your dogs might have. I will nestle up with them on the couch or in our bed (if permitted) and ensure they have a great stay with me whether it's for the day or multiple :) I currently am working from home. This provides a lot of availability and flexibility to take care of your pet/pets. My house a dog door for easy access to potty breaks without needing to bark or ask for me to open a door. With the same care I give my dogs. Attentive and aware of their needs and emotions. My house is very calm and stress free and your dogs will feel at ease staying here. I have a securely fenced in back yard for them to play in as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Madras on Rover is $99.9 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Madras. 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 Madras 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 Madras 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 Madras 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.
