“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 30 years, starting when I was in second grade. I've owned several dogs throughout my life, including my current dog, Obi! All of my dogs have been part of my family since they were puppies, so I'm familiar with the patience, energy, and attention younger dogs need. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've also looked after dogs and cats for friends and family. I've cared for pets of different ages, including a senior cat, and understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I know how important pets are to their families, and I'll treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. This allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, or some extra companionship. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine and can also accommodate house sitting when needed. I understand that everyone's schedule is different, so I'll do my best to find times that work for both you and your pet. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and comfortable when you're not home. Having pets of my own, I know how much trust goes into leaving them in someone else's care. When looking after your pets, I'll follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I'll also make sure they're secure during walks and that their environment stays clean and comfortable. I respect both your home and your pet's personal space, and I'm always happy to send photos and updates so you know how they're doing while you're away.
“Zoey is excellent. I highly recommend her. She did pet sitting for us, 2 overnights for our 2 small dogs. She kept us updated and sent pictures of the dogs regularly. She was very affectionate and loving with our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Shannon was terrific. She loved the dogs and the dogs loved her. Our pack is a bit challenging at times and she embraced their quirks. Thank you, Shannon!!”
“This is our second time using Nikki for our anxious dog and she was great! Our dog seemed to warm up to her immediately, she sent regular updates, and left our house spotless. It can be really nerve-wracking having a stranger watch your pet/stay in your house but we have no concerns about Nikki at all. She is definitely our new go to dog sitter, highly recommend!”
“Cara was great. She watched my 3 dogs in my home while my husband and I were away. She was on time and I know my dogs were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Cara if you need a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I am in between jobs right now with plenty of free time to care for your dogs and cats! I grew up having dogs and cats. I adopted my own dog 12 years ago and my cat 6 years ago. My dog Yoshi is a 13 year old dachshund who is playful and friendly with all dogs (he has never tried to bite anyone or any dog). My cat Melvin is a 13 year old sweet old man I adopted during Covid. I am available to check in on your cat or dog/take them on walks or stay with them at your home. I am also experienced administering oral medication if needed (both of my boys take medication). Being a dachshund owner I am very experience with special needs dogs as Yoshi has had a few run ins with IVDD. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns! Hope to hear from you and your dog and cat! Thank you! I’m currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. Reach out with your request and I will try my best to accommodate your needs. I am open to long walks, playing in the yard, playing in the house, whatever your pet needs as long as they are safe and happy!
“Nico was great with our dogs, Sammy and Hazel! He stayed at our house and sent daily updates. The dogs seemed happy when we returned home! He was also very responsive leading up to the trip. It’s great to be able to leave for a long weekend and not worry. I would recommend Nico!”
“I can't say enough great things about Jeannie. She is so kind, and you can just tell how much she loves animals. I feel very lucky we found her and will be using her in the future.”
“Brooke did a fantastic job taking care of Duncan. She sent us updates and pictures of our boy. It is nice to know he was in good hands. I hope Brooke will be available when we go away again. I would recommend her to my family and friends.thanks Thanks again.”
“Rae was amazing! We had a some stuff change and she was great! Our dog Chase loved her and her daughter!! Rae sent a bunch of pics of Chase who looked super happy!! She even watered my flowers which I was so grateful for!! Esp bc she found some still in pots I forgot to plant! Def give her a 5 star!! And use her again!”
“Laura was so helpful with our 15 year old pup, who can be a little quirky. She handled his evening medications perfectly and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful to know he was in such good hands, thank you!”
“Alex was great with my pup Zoe. He graciously accommodated a very early drop off time and was flexible with me when my flight was delayed coming home. I loved getting some photos while I was away. It was clear that Zoe had a very good time and was kept very busy the whole time -- she slept for a whole day after getting home!!”
“Ari is incredible. He is patient and kind and obviously cares a great deal for the pets he sits for. He went above and beyond and, most importantly, gave us peace of mind that Toby was in great hands while we were away. 10/10”
“Fandi and Martin were extremely kind and attentive to Chloe during our week long vacation. We received just enough communication to allow us to know Chloe was in good hands! Thank you very much for keeping her busy and keeping her safe!”
“Devyn was over and beyond with my dog Teddy! She was prompt, answered my texts in a timely manner and most of all was so kind to Teddy!! Devyn left my home better than I left it! When I got home Teddy was content, happy to see me but not stressed at all. We are so grateful to find Devyn as a pet sitter💖”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maple Glen
Kristina was absolutely awesome in sitting at our home for our Yorkie, Snickers. She sent us pictures and updated us throughout the experience and even took care of our Koi fish as well as left our home in the same way as we left it, and it even appeared cleaner! She is reliable and trustworthy and would recommend her to anyone who needs sitting in their home. I would use her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Rosemary K! She cared for our three dogs in our home on the day of our son’s wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the attention and love she gave them. We needed someone on short notice, and Rosemary was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated throughout the day and sent us pictures of our dogs, giving us complete peace of mind so we could fully enjoy such an important family occasion without worrying about them\. We highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter\. Thank you so much, Rosemary K.💙💙💙
Jane was great! Benny and Murphy had a wonderful time with her and she sent photos regularly. Even when they woke her up very early, she sent a photo of them snuggling before she got some more rest. Would definitely book again! Thank you Jane for taking care of our babies
Ben was fantastic! He kept me updated on Boots' medications and sent the cutest pictures of all 3 pups throughout his stay. He also took excellent care of our home, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him to others!
My dog's immediately liked Sam when she first came to meet them! The pictures and videos she sent while we were away showed me just how happy and comfortable they were with her. And it made me feel better to know they were being well loved while I was gone. It's not often I leave my dog behind, but if I had to do again I would absolutely rebook with Sam!! Thank you!
Tracy is amazing! We had to go to West Virginia for the weekend and I didn’t have to worry one bit about our pups getting the best care! Not only did she feed them and let them out, she took time to do some training / games with them and even taught them new things! She was very attentive; sent lots of pictures and videos! Also, when the girls were playing one of them got hurt. She took super good care of her by keeping an eye on it and washed her face daily to ensure no infection! Not only did she take super good care of the pups, we came home to a perfectly maintained home! She did all of the dishes, mopped the floors (since it was snowing and there was salt and marks all over) and even replaced our milk because she used it! We didn't even require any of these things! To say Tracy is awesome is an understatement! We will definitely be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Maple Glen is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $137 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 Maple Glen 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 Maple Glen 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 Maple Glen 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.

- 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.
