“Alyssa stayed overnight with our two large dogs and left the house in incredible shape and we came home to two very happy pups! One of our dogs has a number of medical needs (three legs, epilepsy, IBS) and she took incredibly good care of him. Would highly recommend and will reach out to book !”
“An incredibly effective and quick communicator. She pays close attention to the dogs’ routines and remembers all the important details. We always receive photos while we’re away, which gives us great peace of mind. She also takes wonderful care of our home. Highly recommend!”
“Kristina took excellent care of our Miss Elsa kitty. Elsa was calm and relaxed when we returned home. Kristina left the house as she found it. We highly recommend Kristina!”
“Wow! Alex was wonderful. Communicative, respectful, left our house nest and tidy and took such good care of our pets. I hope we get to work with her again and feel blessed to have found her.”
“She loves dogs. Susan is a great communicator, reliable and friendly and prompt. We could tell within a few seconds that our dogs were in good hands with Susan as their sitter. She did a great job letting us know that the dogs were happy and well cared for while we were at our event. We highly recommend her and will ask her to sit again the next time we are in the area”
“Megan is awesome! We had an Airbnb in Carlton and for her, she was great and sent us lots of photos! We have a dog we cant leave at home and she did great with him! Totally recommend her!”
“Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.”
“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”
“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
“Wes was great with all three of my dogs. He did a meet and greet prior to staying with them. He is caring and has compassion for the dogs. They felt at home with him and even my timid pup warmed up to him quickly. He gave my older pup his pain medicine. He’s great with young and old dogs. He reached out quickly when one of my dogs was acting ill. He left my home in excellent condition as well. Thank you, Wes, for caring for my pups when I had to be away for work.”
“Kate did a great job housesitting my two pups on short notice. It was obvious how much she loves dogs at our meet-and-greet and the dogs loved her right back! She sent cute pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing. We absolutely recommend using Kate!”
“Erica was amazing with my 10 month old rescue. This was my first time using Rover and she made us feel very comfortable, watching our dog in our house for the weekend. Even during all the fireworks and having to give her medication, she made our dog happy and comfortable. Will for sure use her again.”
“Chris meet and exceeded my expectations. He took great care of my two girls and I could tell they were comforted by his presence when I received my photos. I was able to fully relax on my vacation and not worry about my puppers. I have experience with quite a few boarding and pet sitters and Chris has been the best. House was also well cared for and as clean as when I left it. Very respectful and reliable sitter.”
“Lindsey did an amazing job caring for Rae and Austin over the holiday weekend. The pets were incredibly well cared for, the house was spotless when we returned, and she shared plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay which gave us great peace of mind. Coming home to such happy pets made all the difference. We truly appreciated her care, communication, and attention to detail, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Izabella was wonderful. Our pups loved her from the minute they saw here. Izabella was kind enough to sit for our pups on a last minute notice. We will definitely use her again if we return to the area!”
“We had an amazing experience with Alivia and would recommend her to everyone looking for a dog sitter! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone. He’s kind of anxious around new people and she was so kind and patient with him, she sent us videos of him wagging his tail and being goofy :)”
“Rachel cared for our two dogs so well. She is calm and reassuring to the dogs and so careful about all the details of their care. They were perfectly content and cheerful when we returned home!”
“Kealani was exceptional in watching over our dog and home. The dog was happy, he was walked twice daily, fed well, and was happy to see us upon our return. Kealani washed the linens, made up the bed for us and cooked scones and a casserole for our dinner which was delicious. She stayed in touch with us daily, too. Overall, a wonderful house/dog sitter. I recommend her highly.”

This is my second time with Alyssa and was just as great as the first! I was able to leave my furr babies in peace so I could go be with my human "baby" in a big moment in his life. Great communication and my kitties were happy and healthy when I came home. Thank you Alyssa!!
Cristina is fantastic. So happy we found them. Cristina a very clear communicator, is reliable, sends lots of pics and most importantly our dogs love her. Cristina came to meet us and our dogs prior to our trip, which we really appreciated and we left knowing our pups and our home were in great care. Highly recommend them!

FAQs for House Sitting - McMinnville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in McMinnville on Rover is $55.25 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 1,585 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McMinnville. 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 McMinnville 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 McMinnville 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 McMinnville 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 McMinnville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 89% 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.
