Madison was great with our 3 dogs! We have 2 Bullmastiffs and 1 Yorkie. She had to administer medicine to our smaller dog and had no problem doing so. She kept us updated and sent pics. I would definetly use her again.

Olivia did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs and home while I was out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of my dogs. When I returned home, I was amazed see my home had been cleaned and looked better than I left it. I will be using Olivia's services on future travels.

Can’t say enough great things about Victoria. From the moment she met our dogs it was clear she cares a lot for dogs of all temperaments and can form an instant connection with them. We deeply appreciated the updates throughout our time away from home. Highly recommend!

Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!

About: I’m not just a sitter—I live the pet life every day. Between my three dogs, a pig, and a few ducks, I’m used to energy, mess, and all the personality that comes with it. Big dogs, little dogs, sweet pups, stubborn ones—I’ve handled them all. I’ve got six acres for safe running and exploring, plus plenty of time for cuddles when it’s calm. I’ll keep you updated honestly, because I know how it feels to wonder what your pet’s up to. Around here, your dog’s not just watched—they’re part of the crew. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. With dogs of my own, I’m outside and active multiple times a day, so adding your pup into the mix is natural. I work flexible hours and spend most of my time at home, which means I can give plenty of attention, exercise, and check-ins without rushing Caring for pets in my home is simple. If i go outside , we all go outside. If I come inside we all come inside. We all eat breakfast snacks and dinner at the same time. This isn’t something that’s inconvenient or difficult to us. This is our life on the farm.

Lilianais is an absolute dream sitter. I cannot recommend her enough. As nervous dog parents, she was incredible. Our two Shih Tzu puppies and our Corgi mix loved her. Our home and our babies were so well taken care of and our experience with Lilanais was fantastic.

About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs

About: I have extensive veterinary, kennel experience and two college degrees in Animal Science & Biology. I am able to care for dogs and cats, including boarding, administering medications, providing baths and grooming, monitoring health and behavior, maintaining clean environments, and offering daily exercise and potty breaks. I am reliable, attentive, and full-time at home, ensuring each pet receives individualized love, safety, and attention while you’re away. Caring for pets is part of my daily life. I feed, exercise, groom, and provide attention to my two animals—a playful pitbull and a loving cat—who share a strong bond, ensuring their safety, happiness, and routines are maintained. This experience keeps me attentive, patient, and knowledgeable in managing multiple pets, making me ready to care for others with love and consistency. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for pets, including supervised play, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and grooming. On walks, I ensure safety, attention, and enrichment while monitoring behavior and energy levels. I adapt care to each pet’s needs, offering consistency, love, and a calm routine to make every visit enjoyable and stress-free.

About: I love animals. To add to that, dogs and cats love me and typically come up to me for love and attention. I also talk to them like I would a baby.. that's not weird, right? I work full time 6 days, but typically have 3 consecutive days off, so I can give your pets the attention they need as long as you need it. I can stop by in the evenings on workdays or anytime on my days off. My dog and cats are all indoor pets. They do not step foot outside sadly. They are very delicate to the environment here in Texas. I feed them 3 times a day and they receive fresh water.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and neighbors trusted me with their pets as early as age 16. I continue to help friends and family by providing walks, playtime, and plenty of comfort and companionship for their pet. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and with dogs who have disabilities. Also small animals such as mice, hamsters, bunnies all the way up to Salcuta tortoise , I truly treat every pet like family and believe animals bring peace and joy to our lives. As I write this, I’m sitting for six dogs happily curled up at my feet and in my lap right where they belong. I currently work a shift schedule where I would be available after 2 pm or after 5 am. Hope to make this more of a full time job. Your welcome to contact me and I can let you know my schedule for the week. If needed I can ask off should I be needed for multiple days. In my home, I have a fenced yard that is perfect for both my dogs and my tortoise. I spoil my tortoise with delicious treats and ensure he stays warm in the winter. My dogs are like my kids; I take them for walks, give them treats, and shower them with love. When caring for a client's pet, I strictly follow their instructions. I provide treats if permitted, take them for walks as needed, and offer plenty of affection to ensure they feel loved. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment, helping them feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away.

About: I started pet sitting while working as a vet assistant throughout college. I now enjoy caring for furbabies of all sizes for fun. I feel I provide them safe stimulation while they bring me non-stop joy. I am happy to provide extra services (nail clipping, teeth brushing, bathing) when needed. I am also comfortable with nuances of feeding a raw diet to your furbabies as I have kept all of mine on this regimen for over 10 years now. I am happy to keep your dogs on strict leash walks, take to off leash parks or work on any training youre seeking while out of town or unable to be around in sudden moments. You can feel at ease knowing your fur family will be loved and well cared for!

FAQs for House Sitting - McClanahan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McClanahan. 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 McClanahan 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 McClanahan 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 McClanahan 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
