“Chan was very kind and accommodating. He sent us pictures several times a day just like we requested and did such a great job with our pets. We came back and the house was just as we left it. We will be using his services again.”

About: I grew up with a house full of animals, both dogs and cats and still can’t get enough! I even run my dogs Instagram account and make her custom Christmas cards to send to her furry friends each year. I take animal care very seriously and treat other peoples pets as if they are my own (and mine are spoiled). I am currently dog mom to Douglas my nine year old Great Pyrenees! I have experience with blind and deaf dogs that require special care as well as dogs that need special attention for medications and the like. I have also shadowed therapy dog trainers for a period of time as part of a research project for school! love exercise and playing and can keep up with any breed or energy level I have a high patience level so i'm especially good with senior dogs or dogs with special needs/anxiety issues that require more help with their day to day activities. Please note I am unavailable for drop ins/walks after 7pm at this time. I am available most days morning, noon, and night. I’ve watched dogs over Christmas vacations both in my home or doing multiple drop ins at their home! I am very safety oriented I would never put someone’s pet in a position I wouldn’t want my pet in. Walks are always in designated areas appropriate for animals and we avoid busy roads and potential risks such as unleaded dogs which may pose a danger.

“Brittany was great with our 3 dogs and very communicative, we received lots of updates and pictures while we were out of town. Within a week’s notice she was able to come meet them and agree to watch them for the weekend. We would book her again & highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m Mia! I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years now. I’m compassionate, kind and caring towards all animals. Over the years I’ve gained experience with all sizes of dogs, making sure they are loved, comfortable, feel safe, and get the attention they deserve when their pawernts are out of town. I’ll keep you updated and send pictures of your furry babies. From dog sitting to dog walking I’ll treat your furry baby like they were my own with quality time and give them all the snuggles and treats. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I currently work at a daycare from 7-4 Monday- Friday. I’m available after 5pm for dog walking and anytime during the week for dog sitting in your home. I will ask what routine you have already set in place and follow that. To ensure your furry friends are comfortable, safe, and kept on routine. With additional snuggles and walks too :)

“It may be unfair, but If I want to know if the person I am speaking to is a good person, I watch for my dogs’ reactions. Andrea was immediately accepted into the fold with no growling or suspicion. My dogs just walked right up to her and gave her love. Her personality is sunny and friendly, and I was comfortable with her with my dogs and in my home, also immediately. I got several updates in the short time she was here, and the dogs were calm when I got home having been walked, wiped and fed. Happy to have her on our team, and if she hadn’t asked for a review, I wouldn’t leave one (I’d rather keep her amazing skills at dog care to myself). Seriously though, Andrea is a wonderful choice if you need help with your babies. ☺️.”

“Laura watched Ajax and Comet for 8 nights. She was wonderful! I haven't traveled in almost 3 years because I've always been so afraid to leave them. I am so grateful to have found Laura. She sent pictures and daily updates. She made me feel so comfortable that I didn't once have to worry. My dogs became so attached to her. In fact, when I got home they really weren't that excited to see me. I honestly think they wanted to see more of Laura. All in all, this was a great experience. Things couldn't have gone smoother. If Laura is willing to watch them again, I'll be planning my next trip very soon. Thanks again Laura! ”

About: Hi, I'm Ashlynn! I've been passionate about caring for animals since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I've gained a lot of experience with pets of all kinds, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! For in home care: I work Monday-Friday 9am-4pm. I will be more than happy to stay with your pets at home as long as they will be okay for that time period. In my home all of my animals are inside animals. My dog has two scheduled feedings at 6am and then at 4pm (plus treats because who can say no to those faces lol). My cat’s food bowl is full 99% of the time and he eats it whenever he feels like

FAQs for House Sitting - Mcas New River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Mcas New River is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 per night. 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 270 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mcas New River. 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 Mcas New River 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 Mcas New River 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 Mcas New River 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 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
