“Danielle was wonderful with our dog, Hop! We’ve never used a dog sitter outside of the family with him before, and of course we were a bit anxious about the whole thing, but Danielle put us at ease with her passion & knowledge about animals, clear communication and consistent updates on Hop while we were gone. We’re so lucky to have found someone we can trust when we need our little man looked after!”
“Amanda did a great job caring for my two old ladies and taking care of my home. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She kept in touch while I was away, kept my plants alive, left my house clean, and my girls were happy!”
“Above and beyond -- and peace of mind regarding my house and my pets. Virginia took over from another Rover with whom we had trust and safety issues, and immediately addressed every issue and loved our dogs! I don't care what she charges; I will do everything I can to hire her every time we go out of town.”
“Highly recommend Sonya. She did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and house. She pays attention to the details and communicates regularly. Sonya went the extra mile to engage with our pups and they really liked her. On recent trips, even with responsible sitters, both dogs have displayed some anxiety/stress behaviors when we were gone but not this time! We came home to calm, happy, healthy hounds and a clean home.”
“I had a great experience with Rebecca for an overnight stay with my dog. She communicated well from the start and came over beforehand to meet us both. She was very relaxed and easy to work with, and sent a couple of updates while I was away, which I appreciated. I came home to find the house exactly as I had left it. She also kindly suggested using a lockbox for the key, which was a great idea and made everything easier. I’d definitely be happy to have her stay again.”
About: Hello! My name is Breann, and I’m local to the Walnut Creek & Oakley area. I’m a lifelong animal lover with previous experience working as a veterinary technician and I’m also heavily involved with a local dog rescue. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I was born and raised around five xl large dogs, three cats, horses, cows and goats, so I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes from small household pets to large dogs and livestock. I’m outgoing, loving, caring, trustworthy and reliable. I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust caring for your pets and I will always treat your animals as if they were my own. Animals are truly my passion and I would love the opportunity to care for yours! Please feel free to reach out anytime with questions or to see if I would be a good fit for you and your pets. Thank you for taking the time to read about me! 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to pop in and out and spend time with my pet sitting pups! Giving them all the love they need. Lots of love, training exercises to help with mental stimulation and walks. Pets with special needs I am comfortable with as well. Weather it’s behavioral or medical.
About: For 2 yrs, I was a volunteer for an animal shelter, Berkeley Humane, and took care of dogs & cats needs. I’ve also have plenty experience watching overs friends’ loved ones and had no problems at all. I’ve been and capable to watch, walk, play and make sure your loved one gets all the attention as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs & cats. I’ve grown up with many pets before, and now I have a sweet, yet energetic of my own. I love to walk and I would love to get the opportunity to walk your dog. I’m currently a full-time artist at home. I’m almost home 24/7. I’m only gone for 2 hours to go to the gym. However, I do keep my dog inside the crate too so I would need your dog to be crate trained in case I need to leave the house. This provides a safety and peaceful nap-time for the babies so when I come back, we are all ready to play again! I’m very respectful and clean of one’s property and of my own. I follow instructions clearly and ask important questions needed to ensure I have all the correct info. All always update you and ensure your fur baby is happy & loved :)
“Jessica was great with our senior English bulldog. She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated while we were away. I'm *that* dog owner that obsessed over my pooch and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I would not hesitate to book with 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! :)”
“I cannot recommend Paulo highly enough. He was amazing with our two dogs, but especially with our anxious & reactive boxer, Beau. It has been a challenge to find someone who understands how to interact with a reactive dog but Paulo was incredible from the start. He is clearly knowledgeable of dogs & was proactive in making sure that his first meeting with Beau was a positive experience. He kept me informed & was patient with Beau even when he was too anxious to eat. Paulo spent quality time with both dogs & it was clear that they enjoyed their time with him. He was even able to take both dogs for a walk together which we haven’t been able to do in two years! I can not express how much of a relief it is to know that your dogs are in good, kind, capable hands when you are not able to be there. Paulo, you truly have a customer for life!”
About: Hi everyone! I love all animals! Your pet and I will definitely have a great time together! I am trying to become a veterinarian in the future and this is a great start for me! I have a park that is a 5 minute walk from my house and I have a huge yard for any pet that likes outside activities. I can care for disabled pets and older pets as well. I have always wanted to live in a farm because of all the animals but this is close enough for me haha! I have a dog of my own and he will love the extra company and play time. Be certain that I will care for your pet like it is my own! Thank you for reading!
“Lisa was terrific! I had a late notice cancellation by a friend who was going to watch our dogs. Lisa responded to my Rover request within ten minutes and came out to meet the dogs the next day. She was lovely, attentive, kind and immediately great with the dogs. She stayed at the house for four nights and took great care of them. She will be my go to person for all future trips!”

“We had such a great experience with our cat sitters! Kitten 🐈⬛ was so well taken care of and clearly got lots of love and company while we were away. We received lots of great photos and communication throughout the trip, which made us feel completely at ease. When we got home, the house was left exactly the way we had it, and Kitten was happy and in such a good mood. We will absolutely use them again! It makes us look forward to our next trip knowing our fur babies are in such good hands. ❤️🐾”
“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!”
“Joe was amazing. We needed last minute help with our dog and had never used Rover before. Joe jumped right in and made us feel super comfortable. He communicated all along the way and spoiled our dog with long hikes and tons of snuggles. We will absolutely use Joe 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.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life as I have a strong passion for them. I have taken care of cats and dogs since the day they were born. We have fostered many neonatals and raised them until we greatly send them off to their forever home. We have many years of experience how to take care and make a fun, loving, and playful experience. Our pets help us very much with making other pets feel very much at home. Since we’ve been fostering for a very long time, we love to open our doors to any pets while we are not fostering. I am currently a stay at home mom who fosters animals when they are in need of fostering. As well as taking care of my child. I have a wall in my backyard to secure the animals as I have keep a watch on them. I’ve also had experience with very sick animals and also have first aid and fluids (IV) for them just in case anyone is not feeling well.

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 October 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.
As of October 2026, there are 7,499 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maltby. 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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
