“Malika did a great job with house sitting and drop in visits with my dog, Dolly! Dolly is a foster pitbull who was recently pulled from a shelter, and she can be nervous around new people. Malika helped her relax and send lots of pictures and video updates!!”
“Amara did a great job taking care of our pups! This sit was on 4th of July and our dogs get a little anxious when they hear fireworks. Amara kept them close and calmed them down. She checked in before she left to see if we needed her to do anything else, which was much appreciated.”
“Brittney was amazing with our dog and was available for a last minute change of plans. She sent pictures and kept us updated the whole time. Would definitely use her again!”
“Michelle was incredible. Excellent communication, took amazing care of our babies, and left our house pristine. Can't say enough good things. Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Chris did a wonderful job watching over our dog and two kitties while we were away. He sent great updates, pictures, and kept us informed of everything that was going on. Would definitely recommend him!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, starting with friends' and neighbors' pets and later working at two dog care facilities. I've handled feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays, and I'm comfortable giving medication and caring for senior dogs. Working with so many different dogs taught me to read body language closely, so I can tell when a dog needs space or reassurance. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I can fit visits and walks around your needs, including midday check-ins that break up a long workday. I'm generally available weekdays and mornings and happy to work out a routine that matches what your pet is used to. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. Having worked at two dog care facilities, I'm used to following safety procedures and handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I stick to your pet's normal routine for feeding, walks, and medication, and I follow your house rules. On walks I always keep dogs leashed and watch their body language so I can keep them away from anything that stresses them. I'll lock up securely every visit and send photo updates so you know how things are going.
“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.”
“Sammy was great! She came by to meet Leo prior to our vacation and asked all sorts of questions which really showed me she was paying attention to all of the details and that doing a good job was important to her. Sammy sent me a few messages while we were gone with updates about Leo and let me know when she arrived and left. I hope to use her services again this summer!”
“Cameron was great with my anxious dog, who has been having a rough time after our recent move. He gave him snuggles and reassuring pets at his drop-in visit, and a little walk to stretch his legs. It gave me comfort to see my dog already laying on/against him before I left for an outing. My dog seemed really at ease knowing he was there. I would recommend Cameron for anxious dogs, dogs with separation anxiety or dogs going through move/transition. Thanks, Cameron!”
“Tammy did a great job with our anxious doggy. She was very communicative and made sure we always knew how he was doing. Our dog loved her, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

“Aimee house sat and watched our dog June for us and did a wonderful job! She was easy to communicate with and sent us regular updates. I would definitely recommend her to other dog parents and would ask her to sit again!”
“Norah is personable and reliable, and took good care of our home and two dogs for six days. When our husky mix turned down dinner and Norah observed her eating grass, she was right on top of things, immediately texting to ask if we had medication for an upset stomach (which we do). Norah was good-natured and patient with our doodle mix, who is young and rambunctious. She walked them both a couple of times each day, as we asked her to. We would definitely hire Norah again!”
“We had a great experience with Lauren! She was very communicative starting from our meet and greet, and throughout the stay. We also got lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. She was very attentive to Lola and Callie and made sure to let us know right away when Lola had a little upset stomach. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in her care and came home to happy pets. We’d definitely be happy to have her care for them again!”

Sarah was amazing!! She responded quickly to my request and was a great communicator! She sent pictures and gave updates during her stay with our two dogs. She was so sweet and flexible. We would highly recommend her!! We felt 100% at ease with her staying at our house with our Goldendoodle and Bernadoodle!! We will definitely be using her in the future! Thanks so much Sarah!!
Natalie was absolutely fantastic with Lola and Callie. We have pretty detailed care routines, especially with Lola’s supplements and Callie’s feeding, and Natalie handled everything incredibly well. We actually had a miscommunication on our end before leaving and didn’t have everything portioned and prepared the way we intended, and she didn’t miss a beat, she figured out Lola’s supplement routine, used the food scale for Callie’s meals, and made sure everything was done correctly. She was also incredibly attentive throughout the stay. She noticed small things like a change in the indicator light on our Litter-Robot and checked in rather than just ignoring it, and she was very conscientious about our home, locking doors and being careful with the garage when coming and going since we have a cat who likes to sneak out. Communication was great, and we came home to happy pets and everything exactly as it should be. We felt completely comfortable having Natalie care for our pets and home and would absolutely trust her to stay with them again. Highly recommend!
Our pups really enjoyed having Erin here in their own environment!! She was very communicative & took great care of dogs. She was even woken up by kisses from one of the dogs which tells me they were super comfortable around her which really made my heart happy! I would recommend Erin & wouldn’t hesitate having her watch the dogs again.
Amara did a great job taking care of our pups! This sit was on 4th of July and our dogs get a little anxious when they hear fireworks. Amara kept them close and calmed them down. She checked in before she left to see if we needed her to do anything else, which was much appreciated.
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.
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!
Corey was phenomenal! Both my dogs absolutely love him and Archie, who is normally very shy, was absolutely smitten with him. Corey’s communication is absolutely phenomenal and I feel like he could absolutely be a member of our family! I look forward to choosing him to be our dog sitter in the future and I’m thankful we found him :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in McCordsville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $70 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 October 2026, there are 1,432 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 , 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.
