“Karissa was absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She was so attentive to detail, incredibly caring with our animals, and communicated so well the entire time. She sent frequent picture and video updates and was always clear about the care provided and the time she spent with our pets, which gave us so much peace of mind! She truly went above and beyond the whole time & also left us the sweetest surprise to come home too. She also included detailed daily care notes, which was a special touch. Karissa is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. We will 100% have her watch our dog and cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care 💕🐶 I promise you won’t regret it!”

Would definitely book with her again! Thank you so much Elizabeth!”

About: i’ve taken care of dogs/ cats since i was preteen, but the last 5 years is when i’ve began doing it more frequently. i’ve cared for medically needy animals aswell so i am very comfortable with pretty much any need an animal may have. i’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have helped train and care for family pets aswell. i help take care of my dads animals, walking and running his dog. i currently am free 7 days a week aside from one online course that i do at my own pace. i follow the clients directions specially when walking or letting an animal out. i never let a dog out alone especially smaller dogs at night.
About: I’ve been dog sitting and caring for dogs for about two years now, for friends, family, and anyone who’s needed it! During that time, I’ve worked with dogs of all different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, patience, and care. I understand how important it is for pet owners to trust the person watching their dog, so I always focus on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs! I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention, and care throughout the day! I’m available for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I always try to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible! I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, behavior, and individual needs, and I make sure to follow any instructions provided carefully. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or just giving extra attention and comfort, I aim to create a calm and positive environment for every pet in my care! I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to other furry, feathered, and even scaly friends, I’ve spent my whole life making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Being around animals brings me joy, and I take pride in treating each one as if they were my own. My passion for animals isn’t just a hobby it’s something I want to continue doing for years to come, giving every pet the love, attention, and care they need. I don’t have a job so I think this will be a great starter job to start with since I love animals and been around them my whole life I have a dog she is two years old and she loves to run and play outside and inside and she loves people. She sleeps in her bed and in mine. She loves her alone time but also wants attention and she always gets it.
About: I've had both dogs and cats as pets my whole life and understand how important they are in our lives. Experience volunteering for the Animal Welfare League and other organizations as a dog walker and in cat care. Can handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Experienced in pet sitting overnight if needed and willing to go the extra mile (literally) if you have a high energy dog or one trying to lose weight. Very attuned to an pet's needs and great attention to detail. Great at building a rapport with even shy cats. Very flexible schedule especially with some notice in advance. I work from home and essentially set my own hours, so if anything comes up I can be there when you need me. I will ask for your preference as far as desired length of walk (or run), care/feeding instructions and other things to look out for regarding your pet. I absolutely love animals, so I will make sure they are as comfortable as possible with me and of course will show them lots of love and playtime if they're up for it. Let me know any special requests that will make your pets happy!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McGregor
We had such a great experience with our sitter! She took amazing care of our two dogs, Luna and Blue, and our cat, Figaro. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip, and we always felt like our pets were in good hands. She was attentive to their needs, took the dogs on walks, and kept our house clean and tidy. It’s such a relief to have someone you can trust with both your pets and your home. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
I'm so thankful I chose Emily, she was the best and my baby girl Ellie loved her. My baby is a still in puppy phase and has a lot of energy. The first day she got into a toxic substance I accidently left out and Emily immediately took her to the ER Vet and treated her as if she was her own. I am so grateful for her and the loving care she gave my doggie. Ellie had a great weekend, thank you so much! Highly recommend Emily and will book with her again!!
Sarah was wonderful with our newly injured english bulldog. We went out of town and booked her last minute and she was able to step up and help us out in a big way. She sent photos and updates and was particular about giving our dog meds and attention while we were gone!!
Andrea was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She kept us updated every day with pictures and messages, which meant so much to us while we were away. Our boys loved her, and she took such great care of both them and our home. We will definitely be using her again. We highly, highly recommend!
Miranda was awesome! She watched my large, sometimes reactive, pup for a long weekend at my home. She took her on walks, played with her, brushed her hair/teeth, and kept up with her supplements and snacks. She made me feel very comfortable while I was away! Luna seemed well taken care of and happy when I got back.
Jessica was so wonderful with our dogs while we were gone for 2 weeks. She stayed at the house as we had hoped, made sure to get them out of the house on walks, and shared great communication throughout the whole process! We could tell in the pictures she sent us, that she truly cared for the dogs. We would have her back in a heartbeat! Thank you Jessica!
We had a great experience with Mary caring for our two golden retrievers in our home for a week! She is extremely dependable and went all out to keep our girls happy while we were gone. She is an excellent communicator and kept us well-informed all week. Plus, she took excellent care of our home. We felt our girls were in great hands and we would definitely book with Mary again.

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 McGregor 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 McGregor 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 McGregor 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.
