“Alyssa stayed overnight with our two dogs for the second time and, again, did a phenomenal job! We came home to two very happy pups and a house just the way we left it. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We had Megan sit our dog and cat for one day previously so had no worries having her house sit with our pets for 10 days. We returned to a clean house, happy pets, and enough confidence to recommend Megan and book her again. I think she has a good feel for what any situation requires and is able to communicate clearly. Great Job!”
“We were extremely pleased with the attention and care Emma gave our 4 year old golden doodle. Our older dog had recently passed and our younger dog was just getting used to being an only dog, so we were a bit nervous the first time leaving her for 5 days. Emma sent texts and pictures each day to let us know things were going well. Our dog and home were well cared for. We will definitely use Emma again!”
“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!”
“Kim did a fabulous job taking care of my home and my two fur babies. She provided me with updates and pictures that definitely showed how comfortable they were in her presence. I will definitely use her in the future, she is my go-to sitter.”
“Christopher took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures. I had a water leak a couple days before I was leaving and was great about being there for maintenance to come while I was gone”
“Wes was amazing! He was very conscientious and caring of our pups. I think he took on a little more than he expected with our situation but he was such a trooper and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur babies for two and a half weeks in his care! He sent us photos every day so we could see our pups were happy and well cared for! He also did an awesome job watching over my house and taking care of my plants! I would highly recommend him! And would definitely book him again! Thanks so much!”
“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”
“Erica was great!! She is super responsible and sends very creative and fun photos!! She even folded my clothes that I accidentally left in the dryer before I left! I appreciate her great care of my pets :)”
“Rachel is amazing! Her calm nature and constant communication was our saving grace and hers, since our youngest dog had separation anxiety at first. I appreciate everything she did to help the dogs relax a trust her abilities.”
About: If you’re looking for a safe, loving place for your dog while you’re away, I’d love to help! I grew up surrounded by animals on a Japanese maple farm with over 20 horses and lots of dogs, both indoor and working dogs, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and training backgrounds. I am a student and only have one in-person class this term, giving me lots of availability for quality time with your pup! I live in a cute, quiet neighborhood near a park and walking trail, and I usually go for walks in the mornings and a couple miles before dinner when my partner comes home from work (weather permitting). I’d happily bring your dog along for those little adventures so they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. I believe mental and physical exercise is very important for all breeds! After walks and a lot of playing, I make sure to keep track of any supplements and food schedules needed (usually by setting reminders and alarms on my phone) I also know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I like to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. If you have any questions or want to chat about your dog’s specific needs, feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you both!
“Sveta was amazing! She gave our girl kiva everything she needed while we were gone! She sent us cute pictures & videos & took great care of the house. Highly, highly recommended! She’s amazing!”
“Amani was fantastic! She took such good care of our dog, Hero. They went on multiple walks per day and she sent us tons of updates while we were gone. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and we felt totally comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She also took great care of our home and left it spotless when she departed. We will 100% use Amani again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McMinnville
I have an anxious older dog who had a little freak out and tried to escape the first night we were gone. Alyssa did an excellent job of communicating and adjusting to keep the pets safe! You can tell she really cares for the animals! Exactly who you want caring for your pets!
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!
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.
Beth did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and cat while I was out of the country for 5 days. She made my dog her special dog food and was all around very sweet when she texted me. She walked my dog in the evening which gave her some exercise. She additionally took care of my plants because I was gone in high harvest season. She did have to work during the day and was gone for 10 hours 7:30-5:30pm, but I have a pet door for them to go in and out, so potty breaks weren’t a problem but it was a long time for them to be by themselves. She did inform me about her long work hours before booking and I agreed to it. I did ask for a daily update with pictures, but had to initiate the conversation and ask a few times. Beth is new to pet sitting so I understood. But all around, would hire again!

FAQs for House Sitting - McMinnville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in McMinnville on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,576 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.
