“We are so grateful that Alexandria was able to watch our dog, cat, and house. Our pets a little quirky - we have an anxious dog and a very sassy cat who like things to be their way, and Alexandria was totally accommodating. She handled their medications, multiple foods, and bathroom breaks without an issue and sent lots of updates while she was with them. Our dog in particular can be a hider/runner, so I wanted to make sure he was watched carefully and Alexandra did that and more. Ever since adopting our anxious dog, we have not left him alone with anyone but family because we were nervous how he would react. Alexandria is the first "stranger" he's been with and he took to her immediately, happily cuddling up with her! I look forward to being able to plan more time away knowing that our dog and cat will be well cared for, and knowing that they will be comfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend Alexandria to anyone, because if she can handle our pets, she can handle anything!”
“You will not find a more reliable and loving sitter for your furbaby. Aileen is amazing! I can't say enough great things about her. I have her stay in my home with my dog while on vacation. I've used her at least 5 times. She is communicative during entire stay. I know what is going on every day, and I know she is present and actively caring for Cinnamon. She sends pics and videos as well as am and pm daily summaries. Aileen is kind, easy to talk to, follows any special instructions such as giving medicines, and cleans up house (even washed sheets) before she leaves. She is really the best!”
About: As a proud pet parent to a Newfoundland and a Coonhound, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, where I've worked with a wide variety of dogs and cats. Whether your pet is big, small, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I'll provide the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I'd be happy to care for dogs, cats, or any other furry family members! I work remotely from home so I have plenty of opportunity to stop by for a potty break or quick walk or hang out with your pet while I get some work done I always follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I have experience using a variety of harnesses, leashes, and crates, and I personally crate-trained my own dogs. I’m attentive to each pet's body language, behavior, and individual needs. As the owner of dogs with resource-guarding tendencies, I'm especially knowledgeable about recognizing stress signals, managing interactions safely, and preventing conflicts before they occur. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment while treating every pet like they're part of my own family.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid and my family brought home our first dog! My wife and I are the go-to for our friends and family who need their pets watched. I have experience taking care of dogs of many sizes and needs, including ones with physical mobility issues and with medical problems requiring oral and topical medicine. As a part-time tutor, my days are free during the school year until around 3:00 with evenings occasionally unavailable. During days I only work one class, I will be able to spend time with your pet for most of the day. If I work more in a day I can still make plenty of time for meals and walks! I always adapt my care to the schedule that the pet is used to, making sure they get their food and walks when they’re used to it. When I take care of a pet at someone else’s home, I’m always sure to respect the space the way I’d expect someone to treat my own home!
“Grace was great! She was on top of his med schedule and sending pics. It was very obvious Sochi was comfortable as he was laying belly and paws up sound asleep! Thank you, Grace, for taking such good care of our Sochi Boy!”
“Kiara did a wonderful job caring for my dog and cat last weekend, keeping them on a good feeding and walking schedule, hanging out with them, and providing medicine to my cat. She was responsive in a very timely manner, keeping me posted on how things were going throughout the weekend, with texts ad photos. My house was in perfect shape when I got home and my dog and cat were happy -- the best evidence that they had been well cared for and completely at ease with their sitter. Thanks, Kiara!!”
“Amanda went above and beyond in caring for North. She sent me photos several times a day, including during walks, and North seemed very happy to spend time with her. She left my home in perfect condition, and I feel confident that North was very well taken care of. I highly recommend Amanda to other pet owners, and I will absolutely hire her again! Thank you, Amanda!”
“Rob was very attentive to Shelby and gave us great updates while we were gone. He was very responsible about communicating ahead of our trip and even stopped by beforehand to review everything. We will definitely be using him again!”
“This was the first time we ever used the service for a week while we were away for vacation. From the first meeting with Alexis we knew Charlie would be in great hands. He had taken to her instantly and it was obvious her love for dogs. She kept us well informed throughout the week with text messages and plenty of pictures. Alexis was very respectful of our home and we returned to it as when we left it. It was such peace of mind knowing that Charlie was able to stay in his comfortable environment and keep his familiar schedule while we were away. Alexis was mindful and wanted to make sure Charlie kept to his familiar daily routine. She was an absolute pleasure to have worked with and we have no regrets. We will most definitely use her again in our next need . We would highly recommend her to anyone needed dog sitting. Thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Charlie!! The experience was more than we expected!!”
“One of the most important things when our family goes away is making sure we have a caring, responsible sitter for our dog, Bucky. Alyssa is amazing! We can go away and be certain that Bucky will be loved and cared for! We highly recommend her!❤️”
“Katie was an excellent dog sitter! She was communicative, thoughtful, and made sure that my anxious pup maintained her routine - it really felt like a seamless continuation of her life. Looking forward to working with Katie again in the future!”
“Whitney did a great job taking care of my dog & cat for a few days while I was away. She was very responsive and I came home to two happy babies. Highly recommend!”
“Alexys took such good care of our cats and dog! She's caring, pays attention to the details, and left our house in perfect condition. We're definitely booking her right now for our next trip.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, with a specialty in small dogs. I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so my #1 priority is providing a safe, structured, and fun environment while you are away. I am trained in canine first aid, experienced with high-energy small breeds, and skilled at administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, sticking to their regular feeding and walking schedules to keep them happy and reduce anxiety. I am extremely communicative and will send you detailed daily updates with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. My daily routine is incredibly flexible and built around your pet's needs. Whether I'm staying overnight at your house or just doing daily drop-ins, I offer early morning, midday, and evening visits with ease. For extended stays, I simply bring my laptop and work remotely from your home. This means your pets get constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and your house stays occupied for as long as you need me there. I know what it's like to lose a pet, so safety will always be my number one priority. Trust and security go hand-in-hand with my remote work lifestyle. Since I'll be in your home for extended periods, I can actively keep an eye on both your property and your pets. I take my responsibility seriously: I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, and clean up after your pets daily. I am meticulous about locking doors and windows behind me. I will closely monitor your pets for any subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I always aim to leave your home exactly as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it.
“Kat did a fantastic job with our dog and two cats while we were away on vacation! This is the first time we left our crazy 2 year old pupper for an extended period of time and we were a little nervous, but Kat out our minds at ease, sent daily updates, and followed our instructions perfectly. My pup took to her instantly and looked like she had a great time. Kat left our home in pristine condition, and we will definitely be booking again for future vacations! Thank you Kat!”
“What a gem Kim is!! I have a 7 month old HIGH energy GSP mix and when I tell you guys this puppy mom was stressin about going away this weekend for my husbands birdhday/father's day weekend..I was stressin'! Should I stay home? Who can handle this puppy? Will he be okay with a sitter? Will THEY be okay with my Max? But Kim eased all those worries for me. We did a meet and greet with Max first. (which put me at ease that he would be just fine with her) While we were away, Kim sent frequent updates and kept reassuring me that he was a sweetheart and that he's just simply a puppy! She even brought in the mail for us. What a relief it is to know that my fur baby was well taken care of and that he didn't drive Kim away 😆😆. We will most definitely be using Kim again in the future! Thank you Kim!”

Jessica did a wonderful job not only caring for my dog but also my home while I was away. She handled all mail/packages and took care of my home like her own. She gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my vacation. Highly recommend Jessica for any travel needs.
You will not find a more reliable and loving sitter for your furbaby. Aileen is amazing! I can't say enough great things about her. I have her stay in my home with my dog while on vacation. I've used her at least 5 times. She is communicative during entire stay. I know what is going on every day, and I know she is present and actively caring for Cinnamon. She sends pics and videos as well as am and pm daily summaries. Aileen is kind, easy to talk to, follows any special instructions such as giving medicines, and cleans up house (even washed sheets) before she leaves. She is really the best!
Stayce saved our lives when our prior sitter canceled 2 days before a 2 week trip. She immediately connected with my dog when she came for the meet and greet, and was so good with her. She communicated with us everyday through updates and pictures, which means alot when you are on the other side of the country. We came home to a very happy dog and a clean, orderly house. We are already planning to book Stayce again and highly recommend her.
Anne is awesome! She patiently listened to my “dog mom” ramblings while we were away as I remembered info we forgot to write down. She sent updates and pics of our pup in the yard and playing in the house. Sochi has a few special needs so we appreciated that she was proactive in clarifying info about his med schedule, exercise needs and showed concern that his appetite seemed off. Anne will be our first call next time we need a “sitter” for our pup!
Sarah was fantastic! She did such a great job with our dog. He has some special needs and Sarah was on top of everything. She spent a lot of time with him, played with him and sent us a lot of updates. She was very quick to respond to all of my communications. I look forward to having her watch our dog again when we need to travel.
Leah was an outstanding sitter for our two dogs and cat! Our senior lab has special needs and mobility issues, she did a wonderful job of caring for him and making sure he was comfortable the entire time we were away. Our younger dog immensely enjoyed her company and was spoiled with lots of treats and playtime. She was also incredibly patient with our formerly feral cat who is very wary of new people, finding ways to gradually gain her trust and provide the best possible care. Leah really took the time to get to know all of our pets, remarking on their personalities and quirks along the way. We had such peace of mind while our dogs and cat were in Leah's care, we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional pet sitter!

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 Shade 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 Shade 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 Maple Shade 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.
