“Malika was amazing. We had a couple hiccups while we were away with security system batteries and some mail and Malika was gracious enough to be a helping hand beyond the house-sitting/petsitting duties. She also had cleaned to make sure we came home to a comfortable home after our flight. Much appreciated! And the animals were happy too!”
“Our fur babies love Brittney! She is great with them! Our dogs are a little extra sometimes but she has no problem dealing with them. She is our favorite go to sitter for our pups. 🐶 😊”
“What a great dog sitter! Jenilee was so communicative and thoughtful, and our dog had an awesome time with her! I’m sure he can’t wait for their next adventure together!”
“Alissa was great! She was very punctual and communicative! She sent me so many photos of my babies which I love as an anxious mama! She did amazing with our 6 animals which isn’t always easy! She also did great with our dog Jasmine who takes some time warming up to new people! She worked with Jasmine until she was comfy and Jasmine ended up cuddling her later that night! Definitely will book with her again!”
“Sarah did a great job pet/house sitting for us. She sent lots of photos of our pets which we really enjoyed receiving and when we returned home, our house was clean and the pets were very well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
“Michelle did a great job. We really appreciated her assistance on such little notice for her. Diesel was very happy. Would strongly recommend Michelle to everyone. We will be using her again in the very near future!!!”
“Seraphina and Elsa enjoyed their vacation with Tammy cat sitting them 😻. And this cat mama can enjoy her time away knowing that Tammy cares for them like they are her own pets! Thanks.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pups. She gave daily updates and pictures, very communicative, and we could tell our pups were well taken care of when we got home. Highly recommend her! We will definitely use her again.”
“Trinity did such an excellent job. She stayed in our house for 10 days. She was very responsive and sent lots of updates, and did a great job taking care of the house and our two dogs. Would recommend her to anyone and definitely will use her again!”
“Natalie did a great job with our 2 big boys, one of which is a senior, high maintenance, English Lab. We didn’t worry about them once while we were away. In addition, when we got home, the house was spotless.”
“Jasmine did a great job house sitting for our high energy dog while we were gone. Definitely put our mind at ease for the week and would for sure go back at Jasmine again!”
“Brady went above and beyond taking care of our dogs through a medical situation. He was very communicative and responded promptly to any requests! He also didn't hesitate to include our bonus animals (aquariums/caged) in his care.”
“Nick did a fantastic job watching my small zoo. Our cat Walter usually avoids strangers, but warmed right up to him. The dogs were happy to keep to their routine of walking and crowding up to him at night. He even fed the squirrels that visit our house. He left the house immaculate and sent regular updates.”
“This was my first time experiencing anyone watching over my kids, Kendall went above and beyond what I required, Kendall is very friendly and polite person who sent me pictures and video of my kids. Kendall went above by actually tidying up my house, in places I don't commonly keep clean. I came home to like new appliances she cleaned my washer and dryer. She vacuumed and steam moped my floors. I highly recommend Kendall, and if I choose to leave again, Kendall will definitely be my 1st choice.”
“Michaela was awesome! She was reliable and trustworthy. She took good care of the dogs. Michaela left the house clean and even did additonal things at the house. The puppy is a lot of work and she survived. Thank you.”
“Kort took such good care of my Clark. He sent me lots of pics, and they clearly spent loads of time playing together. He even got Clark to get onto the cat wheel, something I’ve never managed to do! Clark was so happy and well with Kort that my mind was completely at ease.”

FAQs for House Sitting - McCordsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in McCordsville on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,540 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McCordsville. 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 McCordsville 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 McCordsville 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 McCordsville 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 with handling special pet needs in McCordsville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
