“C'Aundra stayed with our pup for a second time, and we're so glad she did! We are so appreciative of her flexibility and support for Wynnie, who was recently injured and needed some additional care including medication and leashed potty/outside time.”
“Debbie is the most amazing dogsitter, even when I forgot to leave the keys she found a way inside and was able to care for my pup. Debbie always goes above and beyond! 😊”
“UNBELIEVABLE!! Faith was amazing I only gave her a couple days notice and she was able to do it. She sent pictures of my cat and dog every day and when I got home, my house was cleaner than when I left it”
“Casey is such a great pet sitter. She took Holly for walks and on car rides and sent pictures so I knew she was getting love and cuddles. Holly is diabetic and Casey was a champ at making sure she got her insulin. I will definitely call her again. She was very responsible and left the house in good order. Thank you, Casey!”
“Laine was amazing, she made sure my shy cat felt not only at ease but happy. My cat is usually shy but he is completely in love with her to the point that after I came back he kept looking for her!! She is the best pet sitter I've had far best, definitely will ask her to pet sit again in a second.”
“Mandy was great with our pups. She stayed at our home with our 2 Bernese Mountain dogs. They loved playing with her and she left our home as good or better than when we left. She updated us on how the puppies were doing and sent some pictures through the weekend. It made our weekend so much easier knowing the dogs were in great hands.”
“This was my first time using Rover but I needed a way to find a house sitter that knew what they were doing. I booked Arianna because she had good reviews, available for the booking, and cheaper. I have 4 dogs so I needed someone with a lower “additional dog fee”. She watched them about 10 days. When returning home, I didn’t find any bathroom accidents or tore up furniture. She fed them twice a day and gave my pit an allergy pill each day. I did not require any dog walking. When going out of town, I will use her again.”
“Emily was so caring for our pets and left our house spotless. You wouldn't even know she stayed over for 3 nights. She checked in frequently and made sure to follow all of our instructions. We would love to hire Emily again to watch our pets.”
“Kyelene was so wonderful with all our animals and the responsibilities of our entire household. She was Beth attentive and communicated with me regularly. I hope to have her back at our house for our next adventure. Thank you, Kyelene!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now! I’ve taken care of both Dogs and cats of all sizes! I’ve been dog sitting for years and I have been working at Sydney’s pet resort as a supervisor for 4 years now! I have experience giving all animals medication and will help animals with any medical issues they may have! I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens and senior cats! I currently work Tuesday through Saturdays but I will work around my schedule to make sure I find time to care for your pets! I am typically free all day on Sundays and Mondays! I am currently not watching any animals in my own home but I am able to watch them in the comfort of their own home!
“Ingrid is amazing! She she took the time to meet our boys so that they would be comfortable around her. She's has great communication and made sure she understandstood the needs of our boys. She went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and our home. She actually left our home in better condition than when she arrived. She really loved our boys and they really enjoyed being with her. We highly recommend Ingrid as a sitter, she really is the best!”
About: I enjoy building relationships with both pets and their owners. My goal is to become someone your dog recognizes, trusts, and is genuinely comfortable seeing. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications as instructed, and keeping your pet’s normal routine consistent while you’re away. I also offer pet-waste cleanup anytime—not just during a pet-sitting visit. If your yard needs cleaned up, I’m happy to take care of that too. I’m looking to build long-term relationships with local families so you have someone you already know and trust whenever you need help with your pets, your home, or simply keeping the yard cleaned up.

I’m looking to build long-term relationships with local families so you have someone you already know and trust whenever you need help with your pets, your home, or simply keeping the yard cleaned up I prefer to start with a morning meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, meet your pet, learn their routine, and get familiar with the lay of the land. That gives me a chance to understand feeding, medications, favorite spots, doors and gates, yard setup, and anything else that will help keep your pet comfortable and your home secure while you’re away. From there, we’ll set up a schedule and care plan that’s the perfect fit for you and your pet.
“Misty took such phenomenal care of our pets! She sent regular updates and pics that showed the pets both happy and being themselves, and she spent lots of time with them every day. When we arrived home, both our pets were calm, well fed, and happy. I could tell that she had done a great job not just meeting all their needs but also giving them affection and helping them feel safe while we were traveling. So thankful that we were able to leave our pets in such good hands!”
“Ellen was wonderful with my three kitties! My one kitty is 17.5 years old and has higher needs with meds and getting around. Ellen did great with taking care of my old baby! I’ll for sure be booking her again :)”
About: I have owned 4 dogs and treat each one like family. My little one goes with me about everywhere I go. I love to walk dogs for good exercise. I'm currently working from home so I have my own schedule. Weekends are great too. You're furry friend will have plenty of good loving fun. I have a fenced area and dog run to let your beloved dog run and play. I also like taking my own dog to the dog park to meet and greet other pets.
About: I learned everything I know about pet-care at the vet I worked with many years ago. There my love and passion for animal…especially dogs… grew. It was also there that I learned cats are not my favorite. 🥴 Though I learned a lot from my time working at the vet, I realized that seeing animals suffering or in pain was not something I could do on a daily basis. That realization led me to this job. In my spare time I enjoy my community at Life.Church. Service there has taught me the importance of consistency and reliability. I was recently given a new mental diagnosis, and having my community, my family and my therapist surround me with love and support has been life-changing for me. I would love to get to know you and your furry family members! Because this is my full-time job, I have open availability, and would love to help with scheduled or drop-in visits. Please just leave written instructions that I can recall later, as your pup will not be my only furry client I will need to care for. I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. While I do enjoy my work as a house sitter, watching and caring for dogs is what brings me the most purpose. I have experience with big and little dogs, so whether you have a golden retriever or a Shih Tzu, rest assured, they will be well taken care of.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maize
I originally thought I would book for someone to stay at my home with my dog, but Tara was able to take Rosie to her house instead. This worked out well. Tara was very accommodating and took great care of Rosie. I will definitely use her again and Rosie has found a new friend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maize on Rover is $31.08 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 217 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maize. 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 Maize 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 Maize 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 Maize 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 Maize. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
