“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 🐾🐶”
“I simply put into words how pleased we were with Debbie and the care she took of our Izzy. It was our first Rover experience and Debbie gave us such piece of mind. We went out of town for 2 nights/3 days and received many pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Izzy looked happy - and even tried to steal Debbie’s pj’s by putting them in her toy box. She loved her! I highly recommend Debbie - she’s amazing!”
“Kyelene was a wonderful blessing to us over Thanksgiving! She stayed with our pup so we were able to visit family. Kyelene was great about following instructions on how to best care for our pup and left our home spot free. We'll definitely be using Kyelene again!”
“Mandy did great under challenging circumstances. This was our first time using a sitter since getting the dog from the Humane Society a year ago, and the dog took us by surprise with stranger anxiety - not wanting to be touched or approached and urine accidents. I take the blame - In hindsight I should have arranged trial stay(s) many months in advance of our weeklong trip, not just a meet and greet a week in advance. Mandy handled it well. She persevered despite the accidents and communicated candidly with me about how the dog was reacting and problem-solved with me. She figured out how to let the dog out without approaching it, and kept both the dog and cat fed and watered, though walks were not possible. She even came to let the dog out over lunch on weekdays, which was above and beyond our original agreement. The cat loved Mandy - I thought the cat would be the one wary of strangers, and she let Mandy pet her by mid-week. Mandy was very tidy and conscientious and left the house in great condition. She even set out my bait when ants started coming in. Huge appreciation to Mandy.”
“Ellen does such a great job taking care of our pets! This is the second time she has watched our dog and even though he is so anxiety ridden and sometimes more high maintenance, I know he’s in such great hands. Our house is well taken care of as well. It’s awesome to know that when we leave everything is well taken care of.”
“My dog and cat were so calm when I returned from a week's vacation, and that is due to Kelli's good care! My pets love their routine and lots of attention, and Kelli provided what they needed! She left my home in tip-top shape, too! I will definitely ask here here again!”
“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!”
“Sarah did a wonderful job for the week we were gone! Our dog was still recovering from surgery and not able to walk much. She was quite literally a lifesaver and helped to get Lucy walking again! Highly recommended ❤️”
“This was a big job, as we have 3 dogs. This was our first time leaving them overnight, we were very nervous. One of our guys is 14 month 75 lb Labradoodle puppy, he is very sweet , loving and Loves to play, all the time….play, play , play and he sleeps with me. We have a 13 year old Lab and 7 year old Cattledog mix, they ocassionally play. Ingrid was fabulous from the first meet and greet , until our return home after 3 days. She sent great pictures and emails. Our dogs LOVED her. She took fantastic care of our dogs and our home. Even watering our flowers and vacuuming! We will absolutely call Ingrid again♥️”
“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!”
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!
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My sweet Charlie crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025, but when he was here he loved being a pal to all doggos and kiggies. Honoring his memory, I will care for your sweet critter with the same love and attention I have always shown to all creatures. I have one cat, who is aloof, but peaceful. Fenced yard, kiddie pool in the summer, and I am totally okay if your baby needs to dig a hole in the yard. This is a safe space for critters to be their authentic selves. I’m work during the week, so I am only available Friday after 5pm through Sunday at 9pm. I don’t go out on the weekends, so I’m totally dialed in to seeing to your pet’s needs for pottying, walkies, snuggles, and anything else that helps them cope with having their human be absent for brief times. I have a large fenced yard. The grass is soft, but I’m okay with them getting a lil diggy time in if needed. The neighborhood is safe and there is a beautiful park nearby for walkies. I also have a pet stroller if your furry fren needs the accommodation.
About: Hi! I am Laine. I am an aspiring Personal Trainer with a lifelong love for animals and a high-energy approach to pet care. Growing up in a home that was always welcoming new pets, I became comfortable around all types of personalities and species early on. While I am still building my professional toolkit in the world of formal training, I bring a massive amount of dedication, physical stamina, and a commitment to following your pets specific routines. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity walk to burn off energy or just an attentive companion while you’re away, I’m excited to provide a reliable and active environment for them. I’m currently in school so my schedule is extremely flexible with online classes and I work one day a week! I am early to rise and early to bed! I am extremely vigilant and highly trustworthy. My goal is to treat your home and pet like my own. I'm happy to provide regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maize on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 233 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:
- 100% 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.
