“Kayly was so sweet and so responsive. She gave numerous updates on our two dogs without being prompted and provided plenty of pictures. I would definitely book her again!”
“Elizabeth is a great dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were very happy and our house was so clean like she had not been here at all! She was very communicative and responsive! Will definitely use again.”
“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
“Korrey was amazing! He was very attentive and understand with my concerns regarding general care, as well as my dog’s previous health issues. He kept me up to date with everything they were doing from her behavior, her day-to-day routine, etc.! He was extremely charismatic and went the extra mile for my girl. I will definitely be booking with him again when I need services!”
“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”
“Anne couldn’t have been better! Caring for my dogs for 16 days & nights, Anne was the perfect match for Ronnie & Teddy. She was respectful of our property & neighborhood. She treated my dogs as if they were hers. Anne updated me daily with pictures of my pups, which was greatly appreciated. I could tell my dogs were so loved & cared for while I was away. I would highly recommend Anne to anyone who needs a loving, responsible pet sitter! Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Antonia was great! Lots of updates while we were gone and I think my dog was looking for her when I came home! I felt at ease leaving our pup and home in her care.”
About: Growing up I’ve always had animal companions in my family’s house. My family has had generations of dogs raised into senior ages full of health. I currently have my buddy Timmy who’s been with me since I was 9, he’s a 14 year old German Shepard, Corgi mix. I’ve been responsible for his senior care for the last 5 years and have learned so much. I’m excited to be a part of your companions life and look forward to working with you! I am currently a full time student at an online university. My schedule is very flexible, so I am certain I can work with you to find consistent times to meet your pets needs. I believe that keeping a pet on a leash while on walks is the best way to protect them. I will ensure that your pet enjoys their time outdoors while being extra safe. I am a vigilant person as well, so I’ll always be on the look out for danger 🫡🫡
“Phong is far beyond my expectations! She is very experienced, attentive, knowledgeable to take care of pets and treated my dog as hers. My dog and I legit fell in love with her. I’m so grateful that I could connected to her and had a chance to work with her.”
“Karachi was one of the easiest sitters we’ve ever had for our senior dog! He requires some special instructions and she followed them to a T. She left our home spotless and we returned to a very relaxed and well-taken care of pup. 10/10 would recommend Karachi for any pet care needs!”
“Kylee did an amazing job with our anxious pup! She couldn’t have been more patient or inventive, and our house was in great condition upon our return. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Mark was great with our dogs! Took them all around town, and spent some time to win over our nervous younger dog. He took fine pup pictures as well. He took good care of the house.”
“The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kaye was amazing! She was incredible to work with pre-booking, willing to meet early to make sure Nell would be comfortable during her stay. During the stay, she accommodated surprise needs, made sure to communicate regularly, and really helped keep Nell on her regular puppy schedule! While watching Nell she went above and beyond to help us bring in packages, provide regular pictures, and play with our girl! Nell was safe, very loved, and had the best weekend ever! We will only be using Kaye from now on - we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you K!”

We had Sjoribel housesit for us for a second time - she watched Cleo for an entire week. Cleo got several walks a day and ate her meals. Sjoribel always gave us detailed updates and let us know if anything was off routine. We received photo updates every day which we loved. We came back to a spotless house and a happy dog. Highly recommend Sjoribel!
Savannah was wonderful with our pets - they took to her right away and were so excited to have her stay! She was very communicative, responsible, and provided updates great updates reassured this overprotective pet mom about my pug handling the summer heat! Would absolutely book her again!
There are no adequate words to describe Yiting's incredible gift with animals and our gratitude for her work with us! We have a dog with very special needs, but from the first moment our dog interacted with Yiting, he was at ease and connected with her as if they'd known each other for years. This is entirely due to Yiting's innate ability and specialized training to connect with animals in a way that dignifies them and their needs, helping them feel secure. I am so thankful we found Yiting. She will be our #1 go-to for anything our dog needs in the future. And she took absolutely wonderful, thoughtful care of our home and even our two birds as an overnight sitter. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Amanda has house/dog sat for our two pups for the last couple of years, and she is simply the best. Not only has she done all of the ordinary things wonderfully—being timely, taking care of all of the doggie meds, taking them for great walks, sending cute pics, keeping the place spotless, etc—but she has gone above and beyond countless times for us. Taking care of the pups on short notice and extending stays when life has thrown emergencies at us, shuttling them to the vets, and taking great care of our home, plants, and cars. You name it. And the best thing is she gives them love. We are moving, alas, and will truly miss Amanda. But if you are lucky enough to have her watch your pets and homes, you will thank me for steering her your way.
We can’t recommend Leslie highly enough! Our dogs, Mikko and Jack, are a little older, and when work travel came up, we needed someone reliable we could truly count on. It was such a relief to know and trust that Leslie was able to take exceptional care of our older boys. She was always quick in our communications and we know that she cared for our boys like they were her own dogs. Thanks so much Leslie!
YASMEEN IS AWESOME!! Yasmeen cared for my two cats and my home for two and a half weeks while I was out of the country. I cannot say enough good things about her. At our meet and greet, she was warm and friendly and asked excellent questions. Any anxiety I had about being gone for so long disappeared after meeting Yasmeen. While I was gone, Yasmeen was proactive in sending updates, pictures and video of the cats. One had just started needing medicine with her meals, and Yasmeen handled that with ease. I could tell from the video updates that my cats felt comfortable with her - and in fact one of them shared lots of cuddles and play time. When I returned, my house was just as I left it, and the cats were happy and healthy. I'm sure they miss her! I am so grateful to Yasmeen and will definitely work with her again!
Gregory (Dean), was a terrific house sitter for our large mixed breed boy while we took a bucket list vacation for two weeks. He took good care of both our dog and our home, watered plants, brought in mail, and did great job bonding with our sometimes shy guy. I would absolutely recommend him.
Clare did a fantastic job house sitting and watching our dog for 12 days. She kept us well informed and shared lots of pictures so we could see how he was doing every day. When the power went out for an extended period, she was on top of things and even offered to take our dog to her home until power returned. I would definately use her services again and highly recommend her as a provider.
Ozgenur was an absolutely amazing sitter for the weekend! She came over for a last minute meet and greet the day before we left. She was so professional and gave us lots of updates throughout the weekend. Our two dogs were so well cared for and I could tell they were so comfortable with her. We will absolutely be reaching out to her in the future and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Trusting someone with your pets can be so stressful, but Lei makes it easy! She is communicative, dependable and very kind to our two boys (1 cat/1 dog). Lei sends pictures regularly and gives informative summaries of her walks/check ins, so we’re never in the dark. Totally recommend her for any walks or stays!
Alice was absolutely fantastic, and we would not hesitate to use her again in the future. We were a bit nervous using a new sitter for the first time while leaving on an international trip, especially because one of our dogs is very high energy. Alice exceeded our expectations in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. During our trip, one of our dogs developed an upset stomach, and Alice was exceptional at communicating with us throughout the entire situation. She kept us updated regularly, handled everything calmly and thoughtfully, and made sure our dog was well cared for. When we returned home, both dogs were happy and well cared for, and our house was honestly in even better condition than when we left it. It was clear that Alice treated both our pets and our home with incredible care and respect. We would absolutely recommend Alice to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring house and pet sitter.
Katherine took care of our dog in our home while we were away - if she had not been available we wouldn't have booked the tickets. The steady stream of communication, pictures and reassurances (our dog is not the easiest to care for) were amazing. We came home to a healthy and happy dog - who didn't seem to have overly missed us if I'm honest - and tidy home - with flowers on the table to welcome us back. We couldn't be happier with - well - literally everything about how she looked after our dog.
Elizabeth is an amazing sitter! She watched our two dogs at our home, and provided exceptional care, with lots of regular updates. The dogs were very well cared for, with plenty of play time and puppy play dates. She clearly adores dogs and it shows! She also took great care of our home while we were away. Fantastic communication both before and during her stay. We absolutely will book with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

FAQs for House Sitting - West McLean
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West McLean on Rover is $61.05 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 10,390 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West McLean. 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 West McLean 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 West McLean 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 West McLean 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.
