“Jamie and Marcel were well taken care of while we were away. When we returned, they were happy and at ease. Kristi was kind enough to clean up the mess Marcel made and double checked on our cats.”

About: I have been around animals of all kinds and sizes my whole life. I have been raised to love and care for pets. I am attentive to their needs and love dedicating time—including play time—toward them. I have provided pet sotting services both in my home and in other homes, have administrated medications for my clients, and have performed nail trimmings and baths to keep pets looking their best. I am also good with walking dogs and teaching them tricks. I have taken care of senior pets. I am patient, kind, and respectful of all breeds. As someone who works from home, I am usually always with my pets! I wake up around 8am and serve breakfast. Lunch is at 1pm and dinner at 6pm with a treat and plenty of potty breaks in between. In my home, I have a fenced in yard and plenty of toys for fun. I also have four dogs and four cats, all vaccinated, to keep your pets company. In your home, I am comfortable doing whatever you need me to.

About: I've had pets most of my life. I've cared for big dogs and little dogs. This includes potty training, walking, baths, ear cleaning, and nail trimming. I've also administered medications in pill, liquid, and shots. I've cared for puppies, middle aged, and seniors and know the unique needs at each life stage. I currently work full time, but my wife does not work, so we have lots of time to care for your pet. I am available almost all weekends. I have a full fenced in yard with a 4 foot chain link fence. The fence has been "small dog" proof to ensure no escapees. We have 10 dogs, but all are super friendly and get along well with others. We also have tons of toys, chew bones, and beds throughout the house.

About: Hi there! I'm an animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! Growing up, I was involved in 4-H and spent much of my childhood caring for animals on a small farm. From an early age, caring for animals became a huge part of my life. I've also had the pleasure of sharing my home with cats, dogs, and a variety of exotic pets throughout the years, giving me experience with many different species, temperaments, and care needs. Beyond my personal experience, I've also worked at an emergency veterinary hospital, where I gained valuable knowledge and hands-on experience caring for animals in a medical setting. This background has helped me develop a deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, safety, and the importance of recognizing when something isn't quite right. I love being able to bring that additional experience and peace of mind to the pet parents who trust me with their furry family members. I understand that pets aren't just animals; they're family. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated as if they were my own. Whether your companion needs playtime, extra patience, medication assistance within my abilities, or simply someone to keep them company, I'm happy to provide attentive and compassionate care. My goal is to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and confident while you're away. I can't wait to meet your four-legged family members! I'm generally always available! I take time off Mondays and Tuesdays but if you need assistance then still reach out and I'll see what I can do! When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I take the time to learn each pet's individual personality, preferences, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special care instructions. With my lifelong experience with animals, I bring a well-rounded understanding of animal care and safety. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I understand the importance of recognizing when something may need additional attention. I also believe communication with pet parents is important, so I love providing updates, photos, and messages to let you know how your pets are doing while you're away. I treat every home with respect and every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving dependable, compassionate, and attentive care right where they're most comfortable.

About: About Me: Hi, I'm Arya Naga. I was born in India and moved to the United States in 2005. Through the hard work and dedication of my parents, I achieved my goals of becoming a permanent resident (enroute to becoming a US Citizen in few months), earning my education and building my passion into a business dedicated to dogs. I provide boarding, daycare, training, behavior modification, walking, exercise, and grooming with one simple motto: **Happiness, Wellness, and Safety of Every Pet Under My Care.** I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, individualized attention, structured exercise, enrichment activities, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Every dog's care is customized based on age, energy level, temperament, health, and your specific instructions. I am currently signed up for my 3rd educational degree to finish pre DVM prerequisites in about 2-3 years, with the goal of getting into Cornell to pursue my DVM degree. I train my dogs regularly in obedience, tracking, agility and search and rescue. I am also a **NASAR Wilderness Air Scent Certified K9 Handler**, and I have experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, temperaments, and behavioral challenges. My Boarding Philosophy: Safety always comes first. Every dog is treated as an individual. I carefully evaluate each dog's temperament before introducing them to other dogs. While many dogs eventually enjoy supervised group play, I never force interactions simply because they're boarding together. If your dog prefers people over other dogs—or simply needs more personal space—they will receive plenty of one-on-one attention, walks, playtime, enrichment, and affection instead. What Your Dog Can Expect: * Constant supervision while boarding * Structured play, walks, fetch, and enrichment * Individual feeding and medication (if needed) * Fresh water and frequent potty breaks * Clean, sanitized environment * Comfortable individual crate for rest and overnight sleeping * Plenty of exercise balanced with appropriate rest Dogs are never left crated all day. Throughout the day they enjoy multiple outdoor breaks, exercise sessions, walks, and playtime before returning indoors to relax and recharge. Crate Policy: All boarding dogs have their own appropriately sized crate for meals, rest periods, and overnight sleeping. This helps maintain a safe, clean, and low-stress environment for every dog while preventing accidents, unwanted chewing, food stealing, marking, or conflicts between unfamiliar dogs. Crate training is also an important life skill that benefits dogs in veterinary care, travel, and training environments. Cleanliness: Maintaining a clean environment is one of my highest priorities. My home, crates, and equipment are cleaned and sanitized regularly using pet-safe cleaning products to provide a healthy environment for every guest. Feeding: I recommend owners bring their dog's regular food to avoid digestive upset. However, if needed, I can provide my own high-quality kibble for a reasonable additional fee, provided your dog has no known food sensitivities. What I Ask From Owners: To provide the best care possible, I ask that owners share: * Your dog's daily routine * Feeding and medication instructions * Behavioral history (both strengths and challenges) * Play style and exercise preferences * Any medical conditions or special needs The more I know about your dog, the better I can make their stay comfortable and enjoyable. My Commitment: My goal is for every dog to leave my home happy, healthy, safe, and excited to return. I take the trust you place in me seriously and will care for your dog as if they were one of my own. I also perform a wellness check during both drop-off and pickup to document your dog's condition and ensure transparency for everyone involved. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As i work from home, i can attend the pets needs in a timely manner and ensure they are always well taken care of and are having a good time when boarded with me. They come out every 2-3 hrs and get walked or played hard for 30-40 mins each session and the loop repeats like from 6am/7am to midnight. I give personalized attention to an individual pup’s needs and strategize my approach accordingly. The pets are always provided with required amount of food, plenty of water, play and potty breaks between 7am to 1am.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - McKay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 174 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McKay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
