I had Grace housesit/petsit for 3 days. She was excellent! I'm a helicopter cat mom and it's not easy leaving your home and baby with someone you don't know, Grace made the experience worry-free, my shy cat loved her and she sent frequent pics/updates. My house looked great when I got back, she even watered my plants. I'm definitely booking her again, and you should too, she's trustworthy, reliable and was just a nice, easy person to work with.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life having grown up with both cats and dogs. While I don’t currently have my own pets, I regularly dog, cat and house sit for friends and family. I am extremely active (avid runner, hiker, walker) so I make sure your pet gets the exercise they need. I make sure all pets feel comfortable and are cared for like family! I work remote for a non profit so I am able to spend the whole day with your animals. I work remotely for a non-profit so I am able to give your pet the attention and care they need. Being outdoors and exercising is a huge part of my life so your dogs are sure to get their exercise in! I am a courteous guest that treats other peoples homes with the same respect as I treat my own. I am not able to host pets at my current living situation but am happy to come to you! I promise to provide your animals with the care and exercise that they need.

Lily was great all the way thru our trip and before. She came to meet the dogs twice before our trip. Sent updates and pictures throughout and left our house in the same condition as when she arrived. My mom's dog is nervous and had never been left with a sitter before and Lily was patient and sensitive to her needs. We will definitely be calling her the next time we need a sitter!

About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs in the house at a time. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from big to small, Seniors to puppies. I provide daily photos throughout your pets daily routine and tons of love I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of enough time to care for your fur baby. I believe all animals should be treated like they are you own even if they are temporary I live in a quiet cozy apartment with a big yard in the back. There is plenty of room for playtime and resting. Pets are welcome on all furniture

About: I’ve grown up caring for animals & have experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even chickens! Taking care of pets was part of my responsibilities growing up, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, & making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Although I don’t currently have pets of my own because of my work & school schedule, I love spending time with & caring for my family & friends’ pets. I also have experience staying overnight to care for dogs through a family connection. I’m responsible, attentive, & will treat your pets like they’re part of the family. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to get my serotonin dose from all the cuteness of animals while doing something I enjoy! I’m currently in nursing school, which gives me flexibility outside of my class & clinical schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, & overnight stays depending on the day. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure their pet’s normal routine fits with my schedule. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet & your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine & any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, crates, litter boxes, or other care needs. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, & gets plenty of attention while you’re away, & I’m happy to provide any photo & text updates as needed for peace of mind.

Maura and Will treated Ozzie like he was part of the family! He felt right a home at their house, and I believe thoroughly enjoyed having another canine companion to play with. Maura will be my go-to any time I travel in the future.

About: ✨ Schedule & Availability I currently maintain a full-time position but please do not hesitate to reach out and we can talk about options to accommodate your pets needs. ‼️Currently can only guarantee afternoon services on Monday and Tuesday. ✅House sitting includes Morning and Evening services with overnight care. ✨My Experience I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets over the years, I have multiple years of providing care to clients, and volunteered with animal rescue and shelter organizations. I currently work full-time, but I still maintain availability outside of my work schedule for pet care, drop-ins, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. I’m reliable with routines and make sure pets receive the attention, consistency, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention to their individual comfort level and routine. I’m experienced with shy pets, senior animals, anxious pets, and pets that may need a calmer approach or extra time to adjust. I always prioritize safety, clean environments, secure doors/leashes, and careful attention to instructions so owners can feel confident their pets are being cared for like family.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.

About: My dog passed and I miss her company! So I love having visitors to keep me company and play with while working from home :) Work from home, I'm free to walk the dogs first thing the the morning, around noon and anytime in the evening and spend the whole day with them if needed :) Quiet home, no children, no smoking, no other dogs or cats - just fish n two birds, half way fenced Yard, but very safe. We can walk around the neighborhood, there is a park down the street as well and the back yard.

We had a great experience with Alexxis. Our dogs absolutely loved her — it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She was communicative, kind, and made sure to keep us updated with photos. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house, which we really appreciated. It made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!

Michael is a true five star pet sitter. He took such fine care of my pups for the week I was away. He loved on them and made them forget I wasn’t there. I got regular updates with texts and photos that made me feel a good bit less-guilty for leaving. When we returned home, the house was in perfect order and, most importantly, my pups were calm and obviously loved on. I would recommend Michael to anyone who is n need of a Rover pet sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hannah recently watched our golden retriever and Siamese cat rescue while we were away for a wedding, and from start to finish we couldn't be more impressed. From the very first meeting, her professionalism and compassion was what really stood out - she immediately was able to put our pets (and us!) at ease. When we came back, our babies were in excellent spirits and we found our home looking better than we left it, which was very much appreciated. Hannah is a rare find - reliable, professional, and genuinely kind-hearted. We will definitely be booking her again and cannot recommend her enough to any pet parents looking for peace of mind.

Jaime and Kasey were great! It was our first time using Rover, and we had a great experience. Our dog Frank was spoiled and our house was cleaner when we returned than how we left it! Not only did Jaime send updates with pictures of Frank every day, she also helped out by meeting an appliance repair person at our house and watered our flowers several times! Thank you Jaime!

FAQs for House Sitting - McDaniel

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,498 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McDaniel. 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 McDaniel 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 McDaniel 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 McDaniel 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 McDaniel. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
