“Karissa did a fantastic job. She took great care of my two dogs. Her communication was stellar! I got pictures and updates a few times per day. She was very punctual and kept them in their normal routine. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing their dogs cared for while you are out of town. Or just want someone to drop in on them while you are at work.”

About: I had taken care of my grandparents animals growing up. Recently had a pet for 3years, but had to get rid of him due to having to move around during the pandemic. Looking to walk or house sit. Would help me cope being without my Chewy. I do have children, but I don't mind training an animal to feel more comfortable around children either. I'm really good with training dogs and have learned a lot through my years of pet sitting/walking. I have experience with all ages of dogs. My schedule is extremely open right now. I stay home with my three children most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. I have a very clean comfortable place for your animal to stay. If they like going to a dog park, I am open to tsking them. I can care for them in my home or your home. I'm very flexible. I currently do not own any animals. My profile says I do, but it won't let me change it. I am at home most of the time so my schedule is full of time to care for your pets! Any time and any day I will make any schedule. I live in an apartment with a back porch. My home is very welcoming to animals and is pet friendly. My neighborhood is dog friendly. I also know of a lot of great places to walk dogs or I can walk them around your home to follow their regular routine.

“Charles took great care of my dog! My dog is a lot to handle but Charles was more than capable. He came by for a meet & greet to get familiar with him and I definitely felt comfortable enough to leave to a multiple day festival while he watched my dog. Charles was also very respectful of my apartment and my neighbors who like to hang out with my dog on his walks only had positive things to say. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

About: My husband and I grew up loving dogs and, in fact, met through our pups. A real life case of puppy love! I grew up raising labs with my parents and through my work abroad have come to adopt two dogs of my own - Chance from Sudan and Mia from Colombia. My husband , David, studied veterinary medicine in Colombia where he has offers private dog training and runs a successful dog school (Gooddog Colegio Canino Campestre) for nearly 10 years. We hope to open a pet shop in MD soon. In the meantime, we hope to make more furry friends part of our extended family here and to save up for this dream to become a reality. When not focused on our dog business, we are proud parents to our own adopted pups and are always looking to take on more. In the near future we’ll also join Guiding Eyes and train dogs for the blind. We are true believers that pets are part of our families and look to take care of each clients’s pet as if they were our own. With us, you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands with a team that has extensive professional and medical experience working with dogs and, most importantly, is passionate about creating the perfect environment for humans and animals to interact. Let us share our love for animals with your family by becoming part of ours. A little about me personally: I’ve worked for the federal government nearly 15 years and take my responsibilities very seriously. I consider myself detail oriented but flexible. I will always do my best to go the extra mile and keep clients informed of everything through regular texts and photos. I’m also always looking to learn and welcome recommendations on how I can grow. Our home in Hyattsville has a fully fenced in backyard with a doggie door for easy access in and outside. We’re also surrounded by plenty of parks and green spaces and, on the weekends, love to explore new places with our pups and their stay-over friends! I have standard work hours during the week and great flexibility on the weekend. I’m on a hybrid telework schedule so the number of days I go into the office varies by week. I’m happy to try to rework my schedule to adapt to the needs of long term care or repeat clients. Our two pups are very easy going and have never had a problem with any other pets. They love the company and vice versa! Pets are able to roam the bottom floor of the house and fenced backyard freely. We also have crates of all sizes for those who prefer it.

About: I have been a dog lover and owner most of my life. I currently have 2 dogs, both are longhair dachshunds ages 8 and 5 months, who do get along with other dogs. I’ve grown up around horses so I am comfortable with even the biggest of dogs. Im always up for an adventure through the woods or taking a walk along the water somewhere. Would love to meet and care for the four legged member of your family and provide the same love and attention to them as my own dog. I am available for: dog walking, dog sitting (your home or mine), dog visits and much more. I take great pride in how I interact with animals, I feel they listen better than most people I know haha. I do work full time, 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday and live on the 3rd floor of a gated apartment complex in Fort Myers. I do work full time during the weekdays but I am available in the evenings and on weekends. I also live with my boyfriend and he is home usually before me during the week. I treat all animals with love and patience. Every dog is different and I take my time getting to know their personality and quirks so they feel safe around me.

About: Excited to meet your fur babies! I'm super attentive, love keeping them happy, and promise to send you the cutest updates. Your babies are in the safest hands with me! 🫶 I also have 4 of my own, Violet and Clover. Both very spoiled kitties with big personalities! As well as Hazel and Basil, two little weenie pups! 🥰 ( Perks - Will take cute pictures of pets with my digital camera 😆 ) In your home, I will make sure to follow any specific rules or requests you have to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable. Your pet's well being is always my priority, and I provide them with lots of love, attention, and a safe environment. :) Its important for me to know your pet's routine, likes, dislikes, and any special care they may need. Their feeding schedule, favorite activities, and how they respond to new people and situations to make sure they feel safe. Also very important to know any health concerns, allergies, and behavioral quirks.

About: I have had dogs around me since I was brought home from the hospital. I have helped raise puppies, cared for senior dogs with medical issues, and many of the types of things you might run into in between! I am a proud dog mom to my dog Scrappy, and I’ve had him for 7 years! He has his own medical issues, so I’m familiar with strict diets, meds, and all the things that come with that! I am an elementary PE teacher during the week and happy to help you with your fur babies in the evenings after work, on days off of work, and on weekends! For overnights and boarding, I am available Friday evenings- Sunday evenings! I am able to help on weekdays anytime after 4:30pm until about 10:30pm- some wiggle room on both ends of that! I am a PE assistant teacher at an elementary school, so if there are days off from school I could be available throughout the day! For overnights and boarding, I am available Friday evenings-Sunday evenings. I do my very best to honor whatever rules/wants/wishes/needs the owners have- whether I am taking care of their dogs in their home or mine! I have such a big spot in my heart for dogs and I love them like they’re my own!

About: Hi! My name is Paige, and I’m 24 years old. I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in forensic studies with the goal of becoming a crime scene investigator. 🕵️ I currently work two jobs and now a third to look for a little extra income to save for my new home. My love for animals began when I was a child and has only grown over the years. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and even lizards! Because of that, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience providing overnight dog-sitting services for families through other pet-care apps. This has allowed me to work with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines while giving pet parents peace of mind when they’re away from home. I also have two furry companions of my own—a Mini Dapple Dachshund named Bennett and a sweet cat named Ruby. 🥰 They mean the world to me, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I would love the opportunity to provide them with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own! 🐾❤️ I work part time and I’m in college. I can find time between classes and work to take care of your pet. I can also stay additional nights or days as well. I can assure you that your pet will be loved and taken care of! I can provide dog toys if given permission and I will always make sure your pet is happy.

FAQs for House Sitting - McGregor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in McGregor is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $95 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 1,040 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McGregor. 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 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.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McGregor. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
