“Jessica was exceptional! Even with it being a last minute booking, Jessica did all the things a professional would do. She set up a meet and greet, made the right questions and made quickly managed my puppy’s energy. Jessica was super prompt, respectful of our home and kind with our baby. I couldn’t be happier and I can’t wait to book her again! THANK YOU JESSICA!!”
“Jean was wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, and incredibly sweet to our pups. We would highly recommend her and look forward to booking her again for future trips.”
“Baylee was fantastic and we're appreciative of her care for our two boys. She provided daily updates, along with photos, and kept our home in great condition while we were away. We loved that our boys took a liking to Baylee, especially how mopey they were after she left - definitely showing they were cared for and given the attention they needed. I'm glad we found Baylee and would definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you Barb for your care of my doggo. I appreciate you keeping me updated on how he was doing while I was gone and always checking in if something came up that you thought I should know. I know he was well- cared for which allowed me to have a worry free vacation!”
“We had Erica back to house sit out dogs and rabbit a second time and she did a great job again. Our house was spotless when we came home and our dogs were relaxed and happy. Communication during the stay was great and she helped out with a few small requests I had around the house as I remembered them. I am planning to have her house sit for us again and gladly recommend her.”
“Lauren was great! She stayed in my home with my senior pup and I knew he was well cared for. She was great with communication and would absolutely have her watch my boy again. Thanks Lauren!”
“Lindsey was so helpful in making sure our dogs felt comfortable with us out of town! One of our dogs needs some supplements and medication and she made sure that he was well taken care of everyday. She made sure to pay attention and spend quality time with them and give them potty breaks when needed! We also really appreciated all the pictures (: Highly recommend!”
“Meka is amazing and pickle adores her. Today we had a minor emergency and we were out of town. Meka stepped up and made sure Pickle was safe until we could put a plan in place. This was priceless and you can’t put stars or money on it’s value. If I could give 10 stars I would. You can’t go wrong with her caring for your fur babies. Meka we were so lucky for your help.”
“Danayt took wonderful care of my dog and house, and I would definitely hire her again! She sent lots of updates about how my dog was doing and was very professional and friendly. She even cleaned up the house before I returned. I highly recommend her!”
“Tyler was awesome. He did an amazing job caring for our dogs and old cat while we were on vacation. Everyone was well exercised and happy when we came home. He helped with medication as well. Highly recommend! Thanks Tyler.”
“Christine is absolutely amazing! She sent us loads of photos and updates the whole time we were away. This was especially important since we were dropping off our daughter at college for the first time and it was very hard to leave her dog she’s known as a kindergartener. Christine knew the stakes! I’d book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Stephani was such a wonderful sitter for our handful of dogs, that have their various needs (i.e., prescriptions) and strong personalities being huskies. Our doggos seemed instantly calm with her during the meet and greet, and when we returned they didn't want to leave her side. We are so appreciative of her staying with them and giving them such love and care!”
“Laurel provided pictures and videos of our troublemakers. She played with them and provided them with new toys. She gave timely feedback and messaging so we came home to them well cared for.”
“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!”
“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
“Zachariah goes above and beyond for our puppies! He asks all the right questions and sent us prompt updates and photos of puppies so we ALWAYS had assurance that our puppies were doing well! He is so kind and courteous, thoughtful and respectful to our furry family and his love of animals is VERY clear! We’ll be depending on Zach for our puppy’s care in the future!!!!”
“Brandy was amazing with our dog, River, and cat, Reese! She sent lots of photos and updates, gave River his meds perfectly, and took such great care of both of them. We even had a scheduling mix-up on our end, and Brandy was so kind, flexible, and understanding.”

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.
