“Heather did a great job with our girls! We loved getting daily updates and pictures of how things were going and they both seemed happy/comfortable with Heather. When we got home the house was clean, mail was collected, and the dogs were doing great. Will likely use Heather again if she’ll accept more sofa time and walks 😂”
“When Isaiah visited for our meet and greet, our somewhat timid dog liked him immediately. We booked Isaiah to take care of our dog, our leopard gecko, and our hermit crab while we were away for a long weekend. He walked our dog every day and checked in with us and sent photos often. He is responsible and reliable, and we have already booked him for another long weekend.”
“Jimena did a great job with my sweet but neurotic cats (and their neurotic owner)! I was nervous about going out of town because the cats had recently been demonstrating some changes in appetite. Jimena sent lots of pictures, which helped ease my mind, and she was vigilant in reporting back to me about the cats’ meals and bathroom habits. My shy kitty also seemed to warm up to Jimena quicker than she usually does with new people!”
“Fiona is wonderful she is very knowledgeable about dogs and was so kind to my anxious dog. She came to me for a meet and greet and followed every direction. I would love to have Fiona watch my dog again!”
“Cristal and Aiden were fabulous house and pet sitters while we went to Europe for Christmas. They sent pictures every day, took our little Margot for walks and on errands and we returned to a clean home and happy dog. We’ve found trusted partners to allow us the freedom to go away.”
“Carrie was absolutely amazing with Watson! ❤️ He’s recovering from a back injury, so I was nervous about leaving him, but he instantly loved her and felt completely at ease. Carrie is so warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, and she was always timely and reliable. She gave Watson so much love and TLC, followed all of his care instructions, and kept me updated throughout her stay, including the behaviors and medication side effects I was tracking. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Watson was in such caring, attentive hands. I’m so grateful and would absolutely have her care for Watson again!”
“Jasmin was a wonderful caretaker for our two dogs while we were away. She kept us informed, sending frequent photos. She’s great at communicating, before, during, and after this day. We will definitely be calling her again.”
“We're beyond grateful for Chris's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Toby had a surgery 3 weeks before our trip and Christ took extra care making sure Toby is recovering well. We received regular updates and photos and Toby was relaxed and happy! We wholeheartedly recommend Chris and his wife Alexis! :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tina, who cared for our dog Berkeley for two weeks while we were on vacation. From the start, she took the time to meet with me for a meet-and-greet, which really helped ensure it was a good fit for everyone—especially considering the specific needs of our elderly dog. While we were away, Tina communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending photos and videos that gave us great peace of mind. It meant so much to see that Berkeley was comfortable, happy, and well cared for in our absence. Tina stayed in our home during that time, and we returned to everything just as we had left it—clean, organized, and clearly well respected. It was such a relief to come home to a happy dog and a well-kept house. I would absolutely trust Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Sydney was very sweet with my pets and sent me pictures to let me know my cat was thriving while I was away. She was communicative and responsible, following all my instructions. I will definitely use her again!”
“Candi was an awesome house & pet sitter! She took care of our three dogs perfectly! She gave them lots of attention and they loved her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.”
“Luna is a total pro! My dog loved her and she gave me regular updates. She kept my place in great order and was a dream houseguest. You can trust Luna to take good care of your fur baby. I’ll definitely book her again.”
“Wonderful pet sitter. She’s very responsive, performed medicine to our 21 year old cat and sent wonderful videos. This is the first time we have used Jordyn and couldn’t be more satisfied!”

“I can’t recommend Lisa enough! She took amazing care of our dog and cat, treating them like the prince and princess that they are, haha. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Both were relaxed and happy when we got home- clearly well-loved and well cared for. We are beyond grateful for Lisa's kindness, reliability, and genuine connection to us and our fur babies. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

Huda , what more can I say . Huda was the most caring and attentive sitter for my fur babies . We’ve never had much success with strangers coming into our home , with Huda they were relaxed and settled . Huda went above and beyond to care for them . Taking extra care for one of our cats who is dealing with some appetite issues . She knew exactly what he needed and cared for him . I returned to a home of relaxed happy kitties .
Teagan is an awesome sitter. I’m out of the country and she took care of my challenging but sweet pittie with grace and made me feel so comfortable with leaving her. She also dropped her off to her other sitter with no problems. Highly recommend and will be using her again.
Hosana took excellent care of my two high-energy dogs (one of which is extra, extra high-energy). Really appreciated her updates and excellent, proactive communication. She stayed at our house and took great care. We very much appreciate her and look forward to using her services again!
Trinity is the best! She takes her job seriously, and Milo adored her! He’s normally hi anxiety when we are gone, yet he seemed quite calm and happy. Trinity took lots of photos and some videos too!….kept us up to date! Will def use her again! Thanks Trinity! Milo says “any time!” Diane and Jocelyn
Aida stayed at our home and cared for our dog and cat for 10 days while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and proactive throughout our trip. She sent updates and photos every day. When we returned home, everything was spotless, and it was clear that Aida had taken excellent care of both our pets and our home. In fact, our pets weren’t quite as excited to see us as they usually are when we get back from a trip. We take that as a great sign that they had been happy and receiving plenty of attention while we were away! We’d recommend Aida to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again for future trips.
Marcia came through for me on very short notice and I’m so glad I found her! She was very communicative, always sending photos of my pups and keeping me updated on their days! Marcia was also super helpful with other things around my house like checking the mail and feeding my fish. She spent so much time with them that I could see in the photos how their comfort levels grew each day! Would definitely book again!
Jessica is a wonderful pet sitter. I was very worried about leaving my old cats for a couple of days and Jessica was so kind and responsible that it eased my worries. She was able to give my cat three liquid medications and help him eat. The cats seemed happy and well cared for when we returned home. In addition, she was flexible with schedule changes and very responsive over text. I could not recommend her enough!
I can never say enough positive things about Tia. She has watched my house and my dog several times and is always top notch. She is a great communicator and loves my dog. She takes care with my home and leaves things in good order. I am appreciative of her and always feel comfortable entrusting her with my dog and my home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Maltby is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $38 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.

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 Maltby 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 Maltby 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 Maltby 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 Maltby. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
