“This was our second time having Isaiah housesit for us. He was very attentive to our dog, leopard gecko, and hermit crab, and I trust him to take good care of our pets and our house while we're gone.”
“Halona was a fantastic house- and pet-sitter for us. Her communication was prompt and clear, she went above and beyond our expectations in terms of making sure the animals were well cared for from the time we left until our return, and she genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with the animals and getting to know them. The house was spotless upon our return, and the fresh flowers and note were a nice touch. I'm so happy to have found Halona to take care of our home and pets while we are away!”
“Rebecca has been caring for Mikko and Kona for a year and a half now. She is truly the best! She takes great care of them, and has even had to take Mikko to the vet with an emergency and did fantastic caring for him! She is a great communicator and loves Mikko and Kona very much!”
“Mike seemed to do really great with our dogs and the house was just as we had left it which was truly appreciated after our trip. We got a daily update of their activities along with photos which certainly helped put our minds at ease that our fur babies were being well cared for in our absence. We will be rebooking Mike for our next trip!”
“If I could give Myra, and her daughter, Victoria, 27 stars, I would! The short version: Hire her. Here's the long version: I am, by every benchmark, a crazy dog mom. I am way too particular about our dogs' food, I am overly cautious about their safety, I'm surprised our pet insurance company hasn't dropped us by now due to all the vet visits, and we pay to have the dogs walked Monday through Friday to ensure their happiness. Leaving our dogs is nearly traumatic for me. I am never able to actually enjoy "vacations" because I worry about them the whole time. But not this time... Myra and her daughter, Victoria, recently stayed with our dogs in our home for a week. They tag-teamed. There was always someone here with our dogs. Before the trip, Myra came over to meet the dogs. They immediately loved her. She asked insightful questions and made sure she understood everything that was important to us while we were away. She even came a second time with Victoria to meet the dogs. They loved her too. True to my crazy dog mom moniker, I left an entire 20+ page binder with detailed directions for every day we'd be away. Every day, step-by-step. Not only did Myra and Victoria follow every instruction to a T, they went above and beyond by filling our bird water, setting out seeds and peanuts for the squirrels, changing the outdoor dog water bowls, and watering my garden, every single day that we were gone. Our critters and my plants wouldn't have known I was even away. They treated our home with respect and care. I think it was cleaner when we returned home than before we left. Several times a day, Myra sent us photos of the dogs. They didn't feel like the standard proof-of-life photos. The dogs looked legitimately happy and carefree, and her messages carried her own joy in their wacky behavior. While they were here, they bestowed so much love and care on our dogs. Our rambunctious Aussie-mix can be a challenge, and instead of becoming frustrated with her, they seemed tickled by her goofiness. They made sure our newly adopted one-eyed dog was always safe. This same dog has some food resource guarding issues, and they were very careful about separating the dogs during meals. Our dogs compete for first position on walks and pull like sled dogs. At my request, Myra walked them separately, one at a time. This was twice the work for her. I honestly feel terrible that I asked so much of them while we were away. And when I reiterated this to her upon our return, she simply said nothing was out of the ordinary for her, and she loved being here with our dogs. I would be honored if Myra and Victoria would be willing to sit with our dogs again. If you are lucky enough to have them fit you into their schedule, I'm sure you'll feel the same.”
“Virginia was a lifesaver! We needed a dog/house sitter last minute, and she gladly accepted without hesitation. She even showed up at 5 AM when we were panicking about our puppy Chico barking and the neighbors possibly complaining. That alone already meant so much to us. She took such great care of Chico, played with him, kept him entertained, and he genuinely seemed to have an amazing time with her. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house, which says everything about how thoughtful and responsible she is. We’re super grateful for her help and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommended! 💛🐾”
“Melissa was amazing! She was in contact with us multiple times each day we were gone and I could tell our girls were having a blast with her. She followed our instructions, was very proactive if anything came up, and left our house looking better than when she arrived. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“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!”
“Tracy was a great pet sitter for our dog while we were away for a long weekend. She was respectful of our home and kept the place just as we'd left it. She accommodated all of our scheduling and pet care requests and communicated with us well all through our trip. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we returned home. We would gladly recommend Tracy to our friends and book her again! Thank you Tracy!”
“Tatyana took great care of our dog, Cooper, while staying at our home during our trip. She followed all of our instructions, and it was reassuring to know he was in good hands. We're grateful for her help and would happily recommend her to others.”
“Jessica was the Best Marley had the best care ever Jessica sent so many photos and updates Jessica is part of our family now We can’t say enough about her obvious Love and enjoyment for her profession”
“Sierra was wonderful with our pups. We had a last minute need for a pet sitter for our 2 Border Collies who have some specialized needs. Both dogs immediately fell in love with Sierra. She gave them the care they needed while we were gone and followed all our special requests to make sure the dogs were safe and happy. She asked all the right questions to make sure she knew their quirks and what helps with reactivity, anxiety, etc. She also was very communicative and sent lots of pics and messages to keep us informed while we were gone. We'll definitely be requesting her and Karma's services in the future!”
“Our boys are not the easiest to manage. We've got three Great Danes, about 450lb of dogs. Candi handled them, and our home, for a week with ease. The dogs loved her, and we got daily pictures of them lounging on her. We feed raw, which was also not a problem for Candi. Neither was the troublesome neighbor who complained about our old guy barking in the wee hours. Candi politely handled the knock on the door at 5:40am with the angry neighbor, and dealt with the situation. Candi is our new favorite house/dog sitter, and we've already booked her again for another upcoming trip.”
“Paulo has been fantastic. My lil guy shadow is timid and fearful therefore he barks a lot and can be tough to befriend but Paulo remained persistent and kind. Him and shadow are on their way to best friend status. Other news is that he was punctual and so friendly. He’s easy to work with. I will work with him again.”
“Jovelle took great care of pup while we were away. She was a great communicator and always replied promptly. She left our home very clean too. I’d definitely hire Jovelle again!”
About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.
“Rocky absolutely loved hanging out with Carrie. He got to meet Carrie's dog too! He had a great time. Carrie was absolutely wonderful for the entire time. She took great care of Rocky. She even went the extra long mile of cleaning our living area before we got home so we had less to do after our trip! Thanks Carrie!!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She took great care of our 3 doggos, sending all the pictures a dog mom could have wanted. She gave regular updates, which really set our minds at ease while we were away. She has a great way with pups, understanding the each doggo has their own personality and working with them as they were comfortable. Highly recommend her, your pups will be in save hands!”
“Danielle is the best!! She stayed over a weekend to watch our new pup Bella. Her communication is great- she went above and beyond to keep us updated on Bella’s care. We were so comfortable knowing Bella was safe at home with her while we were both away. We will definitely ask her to come back in the future!”

Teagan did a wonderful job house sitting with our good boy. Teagan was very communicative and respectful. This was a bit of a last minute request on our side, but Teagan went out of her to make it work. She came home at lunch to walk our dog, and then did a walk in the evening. She sent us photos throughout and checked in if she had any questions. She cleaned up after herself as well before leaving. We would use Teagan’s services again!
Monica took great care of my aging, somewhat needy pittie and her sister kitty, and kept me informed with messages and photos. Great communication! My house was left clean and linens washed. My deck plants were also well taken care of. Hope for a repeat someday.
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!
Ashley is absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home with Manchas for 15 days while we were on vacation, and she did an incredible job. She kept us updated every day with pictures and videos and always let us know how Manchas was doing and what they were up to. We truly appreciate everything she did and would 100% recommend her without hesitation. Thank you so much, Ashley—you’re awesome! Manchitas loves you just as much as we do 💕🐾

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
