“We had only a few days to find a sitter and Casey came to our rescue! Our babies loved her and she was super sweet to meet us, and our 2 girls, within 24 hrs after we requested a pet and house sitting. Also awesome to know that Casey's a vet tech and understands our needs of an older dog. Thanks again Casey! Definitely 5 stars! Randy, Denise, Delilah and Sammy 🐾🐶”
About: I have taken care of small, medium, and large dogs! I have also taken care of cats! I have had animals in my home for as long as I can remember. I love being playful with them and try to always keep them feeling loved and entertained! I’m very active and love walks. I’m currently working part-time and am available Mondays after 4pm, Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 5pm, Thursdays after 3:30, all day Friday, and some weekends depending on travel! My schedule also depends on traveling due to family being out of town! I let them out as frequently as I can and I do love taking the time to play with them! They deserve to burn off their energy! When I come to your home I will leave it better than I found and make sure to follow the routine that you request to the best of my abilities! I want to make you and your pet feel safest and most comfortable during the service!
“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.”
“Debbie and her family were a true blessing! She had a "meet and greet" with us and our 2 girl fur babies in our home. It was great to see the interactions between them. We went over pricing, the services she provides and what our expectations were as well for the care of the girls while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures and notes/texts from every visit to let us know our babies were doing great! It was such a huge relief to have someone like Debbie caring for and paying attention to our girls versus them being locked up in kennels at doggie daycare for 5 days. What a peace of mind! We would definitely recommend Debbie and her family again!”
About: I took care of my childhood dog for 13 years, from her puppy years to her senior years and I have a big passion for animals I’m currently still a senior in highschool, however my availability with open up greatly after December! My weekends and evenings are usually free. I will be able to work more during the week after my first semester I love animals more than anything so I will always make sure your animal is taken care of in anyway possible like: feeding them, keeping them hydrated, walking them, bathing them if needed and I will play/hangout with them to keep them company!
“Tamra did an outstanding job of house sitting, Fred sitting as well as keeping Fred and his overly concerned and worried parents happy. LOL We received multiple pictures and texts every day showing how Fred was doing and how much fun they were having together. We had the best possible experience having Tamra as our Fred's caregiver. In the future she will be our "go to" at home pet sitter.”
About: I have done rescue work for dogs. I actually have two dogs of my own one. I saved from the Humane Society and one I saved for a rescue who is going to be put to sleep for no reason. I am currently not working so I would be home all of the time with them. They would get all the attention in the world. We have a a fenced in backyard that they would be able to run around in and the cats would be kept inside and fed. What food daily if you please. I have a fenced in backyard and two very very friendly dogs who love new friends. Your dog would be very loved and taken care of. I also have four cats who love to have new friends in they would be very loved and taken care of and would not be let outside at all

“Julie did so good with our three fur babies! We had a bad Rover experience in the past and we were hesitant to try again but she made all our worries go away. She sent updates with the cutest pictures and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: I cannot think of a better way to spend a day than walking or taking care of your fur baby. I currently have two large dogs myself. One is a 3 yr old golden doodle and the other is a 7 yr old mix rescue. I believe our pets are our family and deserve to be treated like it. I have had both my dogs since they were puppies and have been through all of the training stages. I grew up with dogs and cats around the house at all times and feel confident in taking on any situation that may arise. I have been around young puppies and senior dogs that need extra attention. I currently am freelancing my work and have open availability to fit your needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions and I look forward to helping you give the best life to your doggos! I have open availability to accommodate your needs. I am currently freelancing in work and eager to schedule weekly drop ins, walks, or your emergent need for help with your pet. I will acclimate to your pets environment and what they are used to. Animals are creatures of habit, so I will do everything to make the transition and your time away as smooth as possible for them. The animals in my home are trusted to be out, have a doggie door for easy access and sleep in bed with me.
About: I’ve been around almost every kind of dog in my life, from little small wiener dogs to Great Danes and pits. I enjoy dogs with a passion, I truly love their loyalty towards their owner. No matter how hard your day is once you come home it’s the best greeting you’ll ever get. Can’t say that about to many things nor people now can you. So I’m getting ready to head to the airforce very soon and I need to find a way to have money coming in before I leave. I thought what’s the best way to do that and the first thing that came to mind was my dogs. So I want to provide others with a solid person to trust around their loved ones no matter what. So i got a small morkie mix as the little brother and an American bully for the big brother. We establish walks,food,water is given 24/7,treats when a task or a good dog is listening. The most important of all, attention and love.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for neighbors, family, and others for a while and have had dogs my whole life. I absolutely love them! I’m currently a student at WSU and I have a pretty tight schedule Monday-Thursday but I would absolutely be willing to work around what I can. I am free most weekend. I am very clean and tidy and will make sure not to leave a mess anywhere! I can crate your dog if necessary and should have little to no issues!
About: Hi! My name is Ayanna and I’m an avid pet lover. I love dogs and cats of many shapes and sizes. I used to have a long haired Chihuahua that I had since I was a child but he sadly passed away two years ago and at the moment I have no pets. If you leave your pet with me they will be shown tons of love and affection and will have a lot of attention! Being around animals makes me the happiest person in the world! I haven’t had the chance to take care of any pets professionally yet but I have spent a lot of time with many through out the years and I’ve been told I am so loving towards them, doing this professionally makes me excited to take care of your furry friends. I work full time so I could always check in on your pets while on my break depending on the area and I can do boarding on the weekends since I’m off Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in backyard to keep your pet safe and if they’re crate trained I could also do that if allowed. I have a 5 year old child who is surrounded by a lot of dogs frequently and she is a cat lover. She is never left alone with the animals and is always watched when around them.
About: I was raised on a farm my whole life taking care of animals! I have a huge heart for any animal and always enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I have experience with diabetic and senior dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay at home mom. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate their feeding schedules, exercise, and individual needs into my day. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re in my care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special routines that help their pet feel comfortable. I make sure pets receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and safe. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“I have used Angela twice for 1-2 weeks when I was out of the country. She does a wonderful job with both my dogs, one puppy, and one very old dog. When I used to the second time, they seemed extremely glad to see her She even watered my plants! I highly recommend.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Maize is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 215 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maize. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
