About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my energetic 2-year-old dog, Aspen, previously raised a family dog from puppyhood through their senior years, and fostered to own two cats. I’m comfortable caring for both young, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in reliable and caring hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m currently on paternity leave until the fall, so I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. At home, my 2-year-old dog, Aspen, has a structured routine that includes daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental enrichment, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to her health and well-being by preparing nutritious homemade meals with quality ingredients, providing healthy treats, keeping her clean with oatmeal baths, and making sure she has safe, durable toys to keep her engaged. When caring for a client’s pet, I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication if needed, going on walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply giving extra cuddles and reassurance, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own dog.

I can spend most of my time taking care of your dogs. I am available Friday evenings through Sunday nights. I make sure to read over the guidelines from my clients and how they prefer their dogs to be cared for. Let me know if their special care needed.

JMark was absolutely wonderful. He kept us updated throughout each day he watched our babies with pictures and videos. We were worried that our Malinois would not accept him and she took to him right away. She was attached to him so much so that when we came back it felt like she wanted him instead of us.🤣 JMark is definitely our man for next bookings.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.

About: We’ve looked after all kinds of animals! (And believe me I mean all kinds) I’ve been official in pet care for 5yrs, and my husband has 3yrs animal obedience training! Our family has always trusted us as the official pet sitter due to our patience, responsibility, and compassion. We take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and our genuine love for animals shows that. Whether they’re playful, senior, shy, or require extra attention, we care for every animal the way we’d want someone to care for our own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I run two of my own businesses, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to dedicate a lot of time to caring for your pets! I’ve been a CNA for 8 years, and after 4 years in healthcare, I branched out and started my own service. I’ve also owned and operated my pet care business for 5 years! I love being in healthcare, but my true passion has always been animals.🐾❣️My schedule is generally open unless I have something already planned, and I’ll always communicate with clients ahead of time about my availability. I’m also lucky to have my husband by my side! We’re truly a little power team when it comes to caring for your fur babies. He has 3 years of animal obedience training and is an entrepreneur who helps with our pet care in his spare time. When I’m unavailable, he is there to help take over and make sure your pets continue receiving the same loving, dependable care. Because we work as a team, you may interact with or receive care from both of us during your pet’s stay. We’re committed to treating every pet like family and making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐶🐱💕 We provide warm, loving, and dependable home for pets of all kinds. We live in a family oriented neighborhood with plenty of space in the house, as well as a large front and partially fenced back yard! (And a large deck for those who love to sun bathe!) Our neighborhood also forms a circle great for walks on a leash! We take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply offering companionship, we treat every pet like family. We guarantee the care you receive for your pets is the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for our own. I also offer extra kennels, leashes, bowls, and toys for those who are in a rush and simply forget!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have cared for all kinds of breeds, from small companion dogs to larger, high-energy working breeds. I currently care for four dogs and have experience with puppies, including helping care for puppies from birth. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable learning each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule, but I also have other work commitments that can vary from week to week. I prefer to receive requests at least 2–3 days in advance so I can confirm my availability and make sure I can provide your pet with reliable, attentive care. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. During drop-in visits, I can provide food and fresh water, clean litter boxes, give them attention and playtime, and make sure they are safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to follow the owner’s specific instructions and their pet’s normal routine.

I am absolutely blown away by the care and attention my pets received from Darian while I was away for 5 days. It was the first time in 8 years I didn't fell the need to worry about anything while I was away. I received plenty of pictures and updates and my dogs loved him! Care instructions were followed to the letter and he even checked in to make sure I didn't forget anything. If you book with Darian you can be sure your pets will be treated like family and they'll be happy while you're away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I don’t just “watch” pets—I build trust with them, learn their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I have experience working with pets of all ages and needs, including puppies who are still learning routines and senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training (like potty schedules, leash manners, and crate training) and sticking closely to any routines you’ve already established at home. For older pets, I pay close attention to mobility, medication schedules, and making sure they’re relaxed and stress-free. I structure my schedule to allow time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment. I keep things clean, stick to their normal routine, and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a calm, safe, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple different dogs, and cats at once. I’ve worked with elderly dogs and dogs who have needed medication as well. I'm available throughout the week so your fur baby will get lots of attention. I’m also available most weekends to pet sit as well! I have a big open yard perfect for your baby to run around in. I have one dog and four cats that are super friendly to everyone.

About: I understand animal behaviors and aspire to be a trainer eventually. While working in a boarding facility I noticed the dogs were not happy, uneasy and confused. Some wouldn't eat for days, some wouldn't go potty outside, and most would desperately look for their owners during our walks. And don't even get me started on how disarrayed the cats were. From that experience I knew I wanted to encourage pet owners if they must leave their pets, leave them at home, or in a homely environment, where they can be undividedly attended to, loved and cared for. I am a stay-at-home mother/wife, writer, artist, and animal lover with ample flexibility throughout the week. I like to plan my days at least 24 hours in advance to ensure efficiency in all my duties. Nature, nurture, and animals are part of my purpose for living I believe. Therefore, their wellbeing is what I care about. I am disciplined, forthcoming and honest, and enjoy interacting with others of similar character. Even though I play heavily with animals when they want to play with me, I also create an atmosphere of mutual respect and order, usually upon 1st introduction. This allows the pet to follow my lead and trust in me as a child would a parent.

About: I provide attentive, personalized care based on each dog’s unique needs and routine. From high-energy pups to seniors, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. With regular updates and a genuine love for animals, you can trust your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I’m currently a senior in high-school, but with free weekends and free time during the week, as a dog owner I love meeting new four legged friends to take care of. Staying in your home I make sure that your four legged friends feel safe and comfortable, allowing them to be themselves while you are away

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve helped with many animal rescue missions by offering my home to them, helping to groom and feed them, and helping want to be owners find great matches. I work full time on M-T! My work allows for a very extended morning, breaks in between my clients and an extensive night. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their individual personality and boundaries. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, visiting parks, and giving them new, positive experiences when appropriate. I’ll also treat your home with care and keep you updated throughout my visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also live in a gated community with a dog park, convenient waste bags, and a spacious neighborhood that provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for pets when they’re in my care.

About: I am the one who all of my friends ask to pet sit! Because I love them and spoil them like they are my own!!!!! I work from home so i would like to add some dog walking and pet sitting into my schedule -the house needs some furry friends. I prefer to care for the pet in their environment-its less stressful for the pet. Once the pet is familiar with me then maybe that would change. I do live in an apt and do not have a yard. However there is a pet play area in our complex and plenty of walking paths.

Kaylani was amazing. She took very good care of our home and my fur babies. She followed a schedule perfectly for our diabetic dog and gave her eyedrops daily. Our animals loved staying in their own home. We were gone 8 days out of the country and couldn’t be reached and we felt very comfortable leaving her in charge.

Mackenzie went above and beyond while caring for our dog for a week during our vacation. She provided exceptional care and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. We loved that our dog was able to stay comfortable in her own home while we were away. Mackenzie kept us updated, treated our fur baby like her own, and made the entire experience stress-free. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - McDonough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in McDonough on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,810 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McDonough. 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 McDonough 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 McDonough 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 McDonough 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 McDonough. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
