“Eliza is our new favorite sitter! She did an excellent job caring for my reactive/anxious pup, was very communicative, and left the house even better than when she arrived. Would highly recommend Eliza to other pet parents!”
“Linda was great! Typically when I return from being away, Jax has severe separation anxiety but his demeanor was completely different when I returned. He was happy to see me but I could tell he was well loved while I was gone. That is the most important aspect I look for when using a care giver. My bonus was the house was spotless. I will be using Linda as often as I can get her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and all since I was young. There has always been a dog or cat in my home and I understand the importance these little critters have in our lives! I am ready to accommodate to whatever you and your pet may need! As a college student, my schedule may be busy but is also extremely adjustable! From house sitting with your pet to drop in visits, your pet will receive the care they deserve and the kind that will put your mind at peace! I believe in my three E's of caretaking. Eat: Whatever the situation or meal plan, animals should be taken care of on time and properly! If your pet has any accommodations such as medication, specific eating times or dietary restrictions let me know and I will ensure they are happy and full! Engage: Whether its nap time or running around, your pet deserves an engaged environment where they feel happy and looked after! This means whatever kind of attention your pet prefers, I also prefer! Easy: This process should be easy for not just your pet, but also you. If there is anything I can do for either you or your pet, please let me know!
“Georgina is a fantastic dog/house sitter. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua. He warmed up quickly to Georgina and she sent me lots of photos and updates, which I appreciated! I could tell he was well taken care of while we were gone! She also kept the house clean and went above and beyond and washed the sheets at the end of her stay. I will definitely book Georgina again in the future!!”
“Bryan was fantastic! He took great care of our little girl, and she and his dog Ron truly bonded and had great fun doing various outdoor adventures! We would highly recommend Bryan for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Reid was great! He took the time to do a meet and greet prior to watching Dale, which I really appreciated. Our home was clean when we got back from being gone for two weeks. He sent photos of Dale and updated me often. Thanks again Reid! Definitely recommend and will use his services again.”
“I would happily hire Holly again! She was communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, gave great care to my pets, and most importantly, my pets loved her.”
“Liza took wonderful care of our dog. She was on time, easy to communicate with and sent photos every day. She asked good questions during our meet and greet and followed through with all the instructions beautifully. She left the house in perfect shape after staying over. I would highly recommend Liza!”
“Haley was exceptional with the dogs. They were so happy and she was excellent in sharing their experiences. She is really attuned to their needs and behaviors. I highly recommend her!”
“Elise did a good job of taking care of our house and our pets while we were out of town for two weeks. She was quick to respond to communications, followed instructions, respected our house, and left everything the way it was before we left. The pets didn't even act like they missed us that much, which is a big complement. Thanks!”
About: I grew up in a house of animals. We had 2 dogs, 3 cats, 5 chickens, lizards, snakes, birds and more. I understand the importance of cleaning, feeding and spending time with pets. I especially love cats but love getting to go on walks with a dog and play with them :) I am a student and have a part time job. I often have times in the mornings and day and can find some time at night. I stick with a clients wants and needs and follow what they ask of me. I have a vehicle and can take a dog some where for a hike, also in case of an emergency can transport.
About: I have been working with and training Avalanche search and rescue, high drive dogs for 7 years! I have experience with all energy level dogs from lab puppies to senior dogs. I’m currently committed to full time pet care! I’m happy to accommodate any schedule and would love to be a long term walking buddy for you furry friend! I would be happy to take your high drive dog on a trail run or hike! I’m able to come to your home to take them out for walks! I have the ability to transport multiple dogs to get on or off leash exercise. I also have dog first aid training.
“We had a family emergency and Nickolas responded immediately and put us at ease under very short notice. He went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were gone. He sent us photos and genuinely cared for our animals and it gave us huge peace of mind in a difficult situation. We are so thankful.”
About: My name is Sarah, I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I have many years of dog walking and pet sitting experience but am new to this platform. When I am caring for pets I enjoy being active, as long as the dog is able and going for walks, hikes, or runs. My previous clients, whether previous co-workers or my clients through Wag have appreciated the care that I have provided for their pets in the past. If your pet is high energy, I will run around the hills with them until they are worn out, if your pet prefers staying indoors, I will gladly lie around with them, giving them tons of attention. Whatever your pet's particular personality calls for, I will gladly accommodate!
About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I have extensive knowledge of animal health care and am prepared to administer medication and treat minor wounds. I have also worked as a professional dog hiker. In this role I walked up to 8 dogs of various sizes in the mountains near Victoria, BC, Canada. Through this role, I gained extensive experience as an obedience trainer. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes, as well as cats, birds and reptiles. I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was the owner of an adorable labradoodle named Max, who passed away in 2020. Since then, I have been a reliable dog and cat sitter for many friends, family and neighbors. I am currently a graduate student in the Environmental Philosophy program at the University of Montana. I only have 13 hours of class a week, which gives me plenty of free time to stay at home with your animals and go on many walks. I do not have class Friday-Sunday and am available for full-time care on these days as well as all evenings. I am also able to leave campus in between classes for walks. As I am not permitted to have animals at my current home, I am extremely eager to house-sit or drop in to your home to care for your pets. As a former veterinary receptionist, I can ensure a safe environment for you pets and am prepared to care for them in the case of a medical emergency. As a former professional dog walker, I am also eager to drive to your home to pick up your dog for a big mountain hike or a simple walk around the neighborhood.
“Iris did a great job taking care of our pets! She asked all the right questions during the meet and greet and made us feel very comfortable going out of town for the night! Will definitely book with her again for further trips!”
“Cam was really fantastic. Took great care of our home, doggie, and two kitties. He was very communicative while we were gone and left the house super tidy. He also was flexible about staying later should we have needed it (our flight home was delayed).”
About: I grew up around dogs and have always loved caring for animals! About 5 years ago, I welcomed my lovely cat into my life, and got him a friend about 3 years ago! I’d love to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own! 🐶🐱❤️ I currently work full time, but am available any week day after 6pm and before 9am in the mornings and am available full day Saturday and Sundays! I have a small fenced yard and can walk dogs around the neighborhood! Can absolutely dog proof the house and keep your pets safe always!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 280 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McNamara. 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 McNamara 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 McNamara 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 McNamara 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 McNamara. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
