“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!”
“Michelle was fantastic, Charismatic, and loving. I appreciate her staying overnight with my furbaby Zoe. It’s hard to leave your furbaby at home, but Michelle made us at ease while on vacation. Zoe was comfortable and relaxed. I am thankful for her! Definitely recommend!! Thank you so much.”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing! She stepped in for us at the last minute to stay at our house and take care of Eva for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and took such great care of Eva. It gave us a ton of peace of mind knowing she was comfortable at home and in good hands while we were away. Brittany also took great care of our house, which we really appreciated. We’re so thankful she was able to help us out on short notice and will absolutely be reaching out to her again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pup and your home, we highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Madeline was absolutely amazing with our little guy. She communicated with us, send videos and pictures, and loved on him like he was her own. We will absolutely be using Madeline moving forward for our house sitting needs. 😊”
“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!”
About: I have grown up with and worked with all breeds of dogs. I still actively work with dogs of family friends. Including feeding, bathing, walks, and all the snuggles. I work from home M-F. I start my work day at 8:30am, take lunch at 1pm, and finish my day at 5:30pm. I also work part time, but a flexible schedule I am happy to walk dogs, give them some play time, and feeding of course! With cats I am happy to clean litter boxes, feed, and play with them! All will get plenty of pets and snuggles
“Asia brings an incredibly kind energy into the home and I think the dogs picked up on it immediately. She did two pup visits ($15/per visit) before an overnight. Our dogs got familiar and more comfortable. This was the first time our dogs did not get stress induced colitis following a dog sitter staying in our home. We appreciated the photo updates and plan to regular clients.”
About: What sets me apart is how intentional I am. I don’t rush interactions or treat pets like a checklist. I pay attention, keep routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—not just watched. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I plan my time carefully so pets always come first when I’m scheduled to care for them. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, play, and rest. I keep the environment calm and clean, respect your home, and adjust my care based on your pet’s comfort level and needs.
“Zoe took great care of Libby during our seven day vacation. She was punctual, communicated and sent pictures with daily updates. She was sensitive to Libby's anxiety and was proactive in treating it. We would definitely recommend Zoe for your pet's needs.”
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”
“This was the first time hiring Christopher to watch our GIANT St. Bernard for three nights. It was nothing but awesome. He shared phots and was extremely communicative. Gretel enjoyed her time with Christopher - we will hire him again when we need to leave town. Five Stars!”
“Brady did a wonderful job with my puppy Draco! He even let my mom’s Yorkie stay with him and watched her too! He was respectful of my home and was very communicative. Even got a couple pictures while I was gone! Thank you Brady! We will be using your services again!”
“Alex was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our 3 pups! She was always on time and a great communicator! We could tell she really loves animals :)”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Jenna for a week. She took such great care of him and followed instructions. Banzo got extra long walks and lots of love! Appreciated the daily updates. Thank you, thank you!!”
“So glad to have found Gilda to housesit and take care of my 2 older and somewhat high maintenance dogs while I was away on vacation. She was very caring, conscientious, thoughtful, kind, and generous with her time. She gave medication for my oldest dog and was very patient with getting my picky eaters to eat their food. I highly recommend Gilda for pet and house sitting. She is wonderful!”
“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!”

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!!
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 :)

FAQs for House Sitting - McCordsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in McCordsville is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $68 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 1,426 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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
