“Mya was a wonderful sitter while we were out of town. She communicated with periodic check ins complete with pictures of our fur babies. She followed all of our instructions to the letter and even left us a thoughtful keepsake. Will definitely book her again.”
“I really wanted to keep Brianna, but she communicates well when securing the job but her communication is hit or miss when sitting. Also, the last visit she was late and I asked for her to modify the visit to a drop in since she came late even after me asking for a cancelation. I still have not gotten half of my money back even after contacting Rover, which Brianna has nothing to do with. She was great with my pet and I appreciate that, but as a traveling fur mommy, communication is non negotiable and I still want my refund from Rover.”
“Lori was great with our English Bulldog, Honey. She also went above and beyond by bringing packages inside while we were away, and coordinating the delivery of our new couch while we were gone. Highly recommend booking her (if she is available).”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that our pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to providing the same care, love, and consistency I would want for my own pets. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, from feeding and walks to playtime, medications, rest, and plenty of companionship. I have experience caring for senior pets, special-needs pets, and puppies, each with their own unique needs and personalities. I truly believe that time spent with an animal is a privilege. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have open availability so frequency of visits will not be an issue. Tell me the time and place and I will make it happen. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy. I am respectful of their established routines and will do my best to keep their day-to-day schedule consistent while you’re away. I also have no problem administering medications as needed and will follow all instructions carefully. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. * No problem administering medications as directed * Respectful of your pet’s routines and daily schedule * Patient, attentive, and dependable in every aspect of care

“Susan has house sat for us several times and we are very pleased with her services. She is an excellent communicator and we really appreciate her flexibility. Our Shih Tzu Pumpkin is always well cared for and we have peace of mind while traveling. We will continue to request Susan to house/pet sit as often as possible.”
“Ash was so great with our dogs and cat! This was my first time using Rover for pet sitting so I was a little nervous about leaving them, but I quickly realized they were in great hands with Ash. She made sure to give them so much love and attention while we were away and I think they made a new best friend!”
“Elizabeth made our first traveling experience in a new area a breeze. We’re used to leave our pups with friends and family, but Elizabeth treated them exactly like someone who IS family and kept me updated with photos the entire time. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town”
About: I've taken care of small dogs all the way up to big dogs like an Irish Wolfhound. A young pup, all the way to a 9 year old Irish wolfhound. I love dogs! They're the best! I work cleaning houses and pet sitting. So I am flexible in my weekly routine. I'm usually home when not cleaning someone's house so, it would be perfect for keeping your dog for you. Which I only have a few houses I clean a month. I have access to a spacious 50 acres that I can walk your dog or play with him or her. Other than exercise and playing with your dog, they will also receive quality time with a dog lover!
About: I am a respectful and caring sitter waiting to assist! 🩷 I currently have two dogs, a rescue named Kali and a mini golden doddle, Bentley! Over the years, I’ve taken care of my own dogs and friends/families whenever needed! I promise to be gentle, caring and responsible when watching or walking your baby 🦮 I work full time, remotely from 9-5pm. My day to day schedule is not busy and I am open to be more flexible if needed. I have an unfenced large backyard where I usually leash my dogs to walk or play. Inside my home, there is space in my basement, where my office is, to allow any dog of any size to play.
“We are so grateful for Kelly! She stayed with our three dogs from November 7–9 and took such wonderful care of them. It’s not easy managing three personalities, but she gave each of them so much love and attention. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and clearly had been well cared for — it was such a relief to know they were in such good hands. Kelly went above and beyond, and we can tell she truly loves what she does. We’ll definitely be calling her again the next time we go out of town or just need a drop-in!!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals since a young age growing up my parents never allowed me to own a pet, so I found a passion for caring for others pets ! I have worked for family and friends with watching and grooming their pets and I’ve also watched babies and toddlers since middle school which I now would be in my 2nd year of college. I currently am not employed, but I do side hustles such as selling on depop so sometimes I’ll ship packages off, I create clothes and accessories, and I babysit. Outside of that I have a lot of free time. I will care for your fur babies by listening to them while also following your requests/schedule throughly. I have no problem with more energetic animals taking them on a walk or just any personality finding a way to accommodate.
“Nmantendi was THE BEST!! We were gone 3 nights and got updates and photos many times throughout the day. We came home to a spotless and organized home and happy dog. Unfortunately, our puppy got sick on the last day, but she was there to love and care for him until we got home. She will be our go to person to watch our dog and home. Thank you, Nmantendi!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,547 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across McWhorter. 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 McWhorter 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 McWhorter 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 McWhorter 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.

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.
