“Laurel was such a good communicator, getting us lots of updates and asking us about any behavioral quirks to make sure Ruby was feeling like herself! Great to know that our dog was being sat by someone looking out for their emotional wellbeing as well!”
“Lauren was great with all of our pets and was super responsive and flexible. She also took on other responsibilities outside of pet sitting. We will definitely have her care for our pets in the future.”
“We have a 'difficult' little one, reactionary and weaning off behaviour meds while we were away. KJ did a great job managing our pup, worked with her on training, and gave her all the attention we couldnt. We will be booking her again for sure!”
“Baylee was an incredible pet sitter for our 2 small dogs and 2 cats. She constantly provided photos of our pets throughout the day, was very communicative, and kept our house in pristine condition. It felt amazing to come home knowing our babies were so loved and that the house was so clean. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Menaces was attentive, thoughtful and so kind to our babies! She sent lots of pics and updates and made us feel confident they were in good hands. She left our house clean and taken care of. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Kristy was great with our pup! She took him to the park and for walks. Communicated well and had a wonderful demeanor. She sent updates and pictures and left the house in great shape! Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Morgan is such a delightful human! One of my dogs was fresh out of surgery and needing constant supervision and reassurance and my other dog has separation anxiety and is very anxious with new people. My older dog loved her instantly and my younger warmed up to her so quickly! It’s very apparent that she’s a fantastic pet parent and brings that same love and care to any dog she’s watching. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her. I came back later to find them all snuggled up together, my dogs sleeping peacefully on her lap. They were so sad when she left!”
“Run, don't walk to book with Tyler! We reserved an 11-day housesitting stay for our blind Pomeranian, Dax, and by the time we came home Dax was clearly disappointed that Tyler was going to leave. Tyler took him all over town on so many adventures, sent us a million updates, and made us 100% confident in the level of care and affection the li'l guy was getting while we were gone. Tyler also took great care of our home while we were away and took out the trash on the way out. There's no question he will be our go-to source for dog care in future and if he didn't so clearly deserve a rave review I'd be tempted to keep him all to ourselves! :)”
“We really appreciated the care that Kayln took looking after our cat and home. She was always super responsive during the booking process and provided us regular updates during the stay. It was really great to see that our little guy was comfortable around her and the house was well looked after.”
About: Hello! I have been caring for animals and people for most of my life, and it is my passion. I raised my dog from puppyhood, and have over a decade of experience with pets ranging from babies-seniors with all types of specific required care. What sets me apart from many other caregivers is my ability to make genuine connection with people and pets, providing a safe, secure, and loving environment. I come highly recommended from the different families I have pet/house sat for, and I make it a priority to leave every space I enter nicer than I found it. I am a part-time student with a very flexible schedule and the ability to stay overnight. I live with my family and our two dogs north of Seattle and I have an electric car with a seat protector in the back for adventures with furry friends! I have experience caring for a variety of animals in a variety of homes and apartments. When my dog was a puppy, we had a fenced in area of the kitchen for him and his brother to aid in easy cleanup, and plenty of space for play. I crate-trained my dog, and made it a cozy space for him to relax in any time he needs. I've cared for senior dogs and cats who have medication schedules and other special needs. In some homes that I've pet-sat in, there was designated furniture to cuddle pets on, while in others, their furry friends had free range of the home. I am capable of providing love, joy, and security, to pets in any environment. My father did professional carpet cleaning while in college and has taught me his tips and tricks, so I am well-equipped to handle puppy/senior accidents with supplies that your home may have.
“Ashlynn was great for watching our dog Phoebe. She has watched her once before and has been great at communicating with us during the stay, sending pictures, and giving Phoebe the attention she needs. We highly recommend Ashlynn and will definitely message her again for future travels!”
“Dima did a wonderful job watching our 8 month vizsla puppy and two cats! He was communicative and took great care of our home for over a week. We loved the daily photo/video updates of our pets. 10/10 recommend for house and pet sitting!”
“Erica was a wonderful friend to our fur babies and house guest while we were away. Our dog and cat instantly bonded with her and calmed in her presence. Looking forward to having her back!”
“Dalainee did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of all of our pets while we were away. She followed all of their feeding and medication instructions, kept us updated, and made sure everyone was well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our animals and home were in good hands. She is responsible, dependable, and truly cares about the animals she looks after. We would absolutely trust her to house sit and care for our pets again. Highly recommend!”
“Giannara was amazing. She is great with responsive communication. My basset hound is normally very shy and takes days to warm up to people. Not with Giannara. He was on her lap in a few short hours. There is something special about her. We will be booking her again soon!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maltby
Hailey was a fantastic sitter for our two dogs with very different needs. She was attentive, caring, and followed all our instructions perfectly. We really appreciated the regular updates she shared throughout her stay. Both dogs got plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation, and it was clear they were happy and well cared for. She also left the house neat and tidy. It was a pleasure working with her, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!

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 , 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.
