“Deborah did a fantastic job watching buddy. She kept us informed daily and even sent us photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. we will use her for sure going forward, thank you again Deborah”
About: Ever since I was little I've always had a special connection with animals. My life has always been with my lovely pets. I love animals so much that I used to be a pet groomer just because I was so passionate about spending time with dogs and cats. I've taken care my family's pets before, provided full care: feed walk, bathe and even taken them to their vet appointment. Me and my husband are remote workers 100% we can fully dedicate and watch over your cute pups. We're off during the weekends and that's no problem because we have more time to provide attention to your pets I live in a nice and quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced backyard which is very spacious for potty and play time. My house is comfortable and accommodating if a kennel is required to be set up for your pet
“Kailey was amazing! She took wonderful care of Diesel and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos, communicated quickly anytime I had a question, and was incredibly responsible throughout the entire stay. I also came home to a very clean and tidy house, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing Diesel and my home were in good hands. I would absolutely book Kailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Chris was amazing! He took great care of Anubis and kept an eye on our home. We feel comfortable continuing to travel knowing we can leave our pet(s) in reliable hands. Thank you and we look forward to requesting you again!”
“Tori stepped in to help with my two dogs at such a crucial point for me. She completely lived up to all of her 5 star reviews. Communication in meeting the dogs, leading up to the stay and during the stay was excellent. She sent pictures and gave me the updates that were so important to me. I will always be grateful to her for helping me out this weekend. Thank you Tori!”
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.”
“I can’t recommend Peter enough! Leaving your home and fur babies with someone you don’t know is never easy but Peter exceeded every expectation. My dogs were clearly happy, relaxed, and loved while I was away. It was obvious Peter gave them plenty of attention and care, treating them like his own. And my house was left spotless! Finding someone as reliable, respectful, and genuinely caring as Peter is rare. We’re already booked again 🫶🏼”
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
“Rob and Wynn are excellent communicators and loved my pups like their own. They took great care of my home while sitting and my pups were super happy when we arrived home. I appreciate their flexibility and kindness!”
“First of all, I must say that Brenda and Dwain are great ambassadors for Dog setting. Prior to us going on vacation our dog Molly suffered two seizures in one day and we were about to go on vacation in a month and a half, having Brenda and Dwayne taking care of Molly and ensuring she got her medication while we were on a cruise in the Caribbean. There was a point during the vacation. Molly didn’t want to take her medication with the pill pockets. Dwayne and Brenda got some peanut butter and insured that Molly had her medication the entire time we were gone. I plan on using Dwayne and Brenda more often because of the care that they gave Molly, also they took pictures and gave us daily reports and how she was feeling while we were on the cruise. I would highly recommend if you have a pet that you love very much hire Brenda and Dwayne.. I want to thank both Brenda and Dwayne for taking care of our puppy. I highly recommend them. David & Denise. 🙏”
“Alicia stayed at our home for the weekend and took care of our 2 small dogs. They can be barky but they seemed to relax around her pretty quickly. She sent several pix -our doxie was snuggling up to her the same night we left and our nervous chihuahua was in out in the yard wagging away the next day. The house was the same as we left it. We would definitely book Alicia again 😀”
“Michael was wonderful! He took such great care of our Dog Branch! Excellent communication and he sent sweet pictures everyday of Branch with an update. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was being taken care of and loved! He stayed in our home and took excellent care of Branch and the house was immaculate when we arrived home! Thank you Michael for such great care of our dog Branch! We will be happy to have him watch and care for him in the future!”
“We love Taylor! She took the time for a meet & greet beforehand to get to know my kitty and his routine. She is responsible, trustworthy, compassionate towards animals, communicative, and detail oriented. I had no stress while I was away for several days as she took great care of him, and sent updates daily. Would definitely recommend and book again :)”
“Natalie took great care of Lily for 4 drop in visits! She sent me videos and pics and everything was just how I left it when I got home! Will be re booking her in the future….thank you Natalie!”
“Autumn was Fabulous!! She is friendly, a great communicater, and sent me pictures throughout her time in my house. I have 3 goldendoodles and they gave her a 5 out of 5 review. Just watching my girls interact with her gave me such peace. The pictures captured their personalities and their smiles. I highly recommend Autumn for your pets needs.”
“Kiri was awesome at taking care of our pets and very communicative. Our dog is a little spicy and I get anxious when new folks watch her. Kiri helped ease that anxiety. Will definitely rebook!”
“Glacie rocks!! She took Emmy for walks, followed the directions perfectly & kept our home clean. Glacie watched Emmy for 6 days and 5 nights and I had zero concern. We will 100% be using Glacie again in the future. Emmy is happy & tired out & that’s all we can ask for 🫶”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”

Christina watched our sweet Stella and once again exceeded our expectations. Stella is always so well taken care of and the house is absolutely spotless when we return. Not one minute of worry when Christina is watching her, or our home. She’s the absolute best!
Katie was absolutely wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the entire sitting, which gave me great peace of mind. She did an amazing job with the dogs, and her communication from start to finish was excellent. I could tell they were well cared for and in great hands. I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter!
Ashlee is an incredible pet sitter who truly cares! We have three senior pets with special needs. We were afraid to leave them for the weekend so we needed someone who we knew would do an amazing job. Ashlee was amazing. She stayed at our home with the pets and checked in with status updates constantly so that we were not left wondering how they were doing. She was able to give all three senior pets all of their medicines, including our two cats, and that is never an easy task. She was loving with our pets because when we came home, none of the animals were stressed and acted like we’d only been gone for an hour or two. The house was immaculate and she gave us updates before leaving and sent us pictures all weekend. We will definitely keep having Ashlee care for our pets. Highly recommend!!
Isabella was AMAZING with our cat, Finn! She made sure he was taken care of and gave him lots of cuddles while we were away overnight for my birthday trip. She’s very attentive and always asked what our preferences were while she stayed at our home. We will definitely be booking her again! :)
Jin was great! Very good communication, sent photos/updates, left home in great shape, and most importantly took care of Duke well even with all his health issues! She was also so kind to be flexible with the schedule due to my son coming home earlier than expected. Appreciate it!
Wynn took excellent care of our pets! We have a big fur crew and I get nervous giving the responsibility to someone, but I had peace of mind on my trip which made a world of difference. She Did everything I asked her to do and sent me detailed updates and photos daily. Communication was great and our cats and dogs got plenty of attention. We have already booked her again. She is a 10 star sitter!!
We had an emergency midway through a weeklong stay and had to come back and leave again. Gwen was absolutely amazing and extremely accommodating to the last minute change in plans. So SO grateful to have her and Trevor here in an emergency and to be SO flexible! I never have to worry about the dogs when they are here!
Nathan took excellent care of our dog and cat, making sure to clarify instructions for medications, etc. When our flight was cancelled last minute, he was kind enough to stay another night at very short notice, which we greatly appreciated! He left the house very clean and tidy. We will certainly book him again.
Sarah watched our high energy Golden Retriever Blitz while we were away for the weekend. We love booking with Sarah because she gives us the peace of mind that Blitz is in the best of hands. We can fully disconnect and relax on vacation knowing Blitz is having a blast with Sarah. Highly recommend!
The clearest review I can give is the fact that we will be using Kaya each and every time that she is available. She was prompt, responsive, professional, and treated our house and our dog as if they were her own. I can highly recommend her, and as I indicated, we will be using her again in the future.
We could not have been happier with our decision to use Rebecca. She took amazing care of our senior pug, Tater. Her responses were always timely and she was awesome about sharing pictures throughout our time away. This was a great first experience with Rover and we cannot recommend Rebecca enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maitland on Rover is $61.05 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 3,170 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maitland. 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 Maitland 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 Maitland 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 Maitland 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.
