“This was our first time having an overnight pet sitter in our home and Gabby was fabulous! We were kept up to date and got lots of pictures of our pooch throughout the weekend. We will definitely do this again!”
“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!”
“Destiny was so amazing with my dog Finn! She sent lots of photos and videos for me and Finn looked so happy! She is so awesome and Finn had the most wonderful time and was very spoiled! Would definitely use her again! :)”
“Christopher was absolutely amazing! He came to our home early for a walk-through and made sure he understood everything about our dogs’ routines and our house. He was very professional and went above and beyond to check on our pups and keep us updated while we were away. It was clear how much he truly loves animals, and knowing he’s also a vet nurse gave us such peace of mind during our trip. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and our home was spotless when we returned. We couldn’t recommend Christopher more highly!”
“Kristen was wonderful. My dogs took right to her. She sent me some pictures with my dogs on her lap. Pictures of my dog kissing her. Kristen rose to the occasion and took great care of them.”
About: With 18 years of pet care experience, I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve spent years volunteering at local SPCAs, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and other animals in need. For over a decade, I’ve also been walking dogs regularly—rain or shine—ensuring they get the exercise, stimulation, and love they deserve. Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, your pet will be treated like family. I’m a stay at home Mom with school-age kiddos so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for drop-in visits and walk requests. Will do my best to help out last-minute! I provide loving, dependable care for pets in their own homes, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. From playtime to feedings and snuggles, I treat every pet like family while you’re away.
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!
“Aileen watched our dogs for the first time and she was amazing! She sent us updates on the dogs while she watched them. Our dogs were so calm when we came home too. We can’t wait to use Aileen again.”
“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!!”
“Jen is amazing. She came in super early in the morning for 3 consecutive days and took great care of our dog, making sure he gets constant attention. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their fur babies to be cared for by someone so reliable and lively!”
“Kathryn was awesome and very professional. She kept me updated throughout the day and made me feel very much at ease. Katie took excellent care of my dog (Ruben). I would highly recommend Kathryn!”
“We have two large, anxious dogs and finding a sitter we trust can be difficult. Greg is a total exception. Communication was consistent and reassuring, updates and photos throughout without us even having to ask. Greg genuinely knew how to handle big, nervous breeds. Calm, patient, no rushing, our dogs were relaxed by the end of the stay and it put our minds at ease.”
“Barbara was fantastic with my dog Bailey when I was on vacation for 5 days! Wonderful communication and sent pics to check in! Definitely would recommend to anyone that would like a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
“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!”
“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!”
“My husband and I would 100% trust our dog with David. We have an anxious pup and was worried about strangers meeting him but from the first meet, our dog was very comfortable with David. He gave punctual updates while we were gone and the visit went smoothly. When my husband and I came back home, we found a very nice handwritten card, chocolates, and even a dog toy from David! A very nice gesture and the kind of generous person we would invite back to our home to care for our pup. Thanks for your help David!!”
“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!”
“Kayleigh did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby! It’s clear he had a great time and was happy. I really appreciated all of the updates, photos and videos. She suffered a loss of her own the day the house sitting started and she didn’t cancel and was willing to still take care of my dog. I can’t imagine what she was going through but her professionalism, and commitment was immeasurable.”

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!
Gabrielle watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for the whole week. One of the dogs is a 9 month old puppy and Gabrielle was extra patient with him and took such great care of all our babies. The other dog is a senior and requires oral medication, which Gabrielle provides twice daily without any issues. She is extremely reliable, communicates well, and is always on top of things. An unexpected plus, she left our home in beautiful shape! Highly recommend.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maple Shade
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maple Shade on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,320 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maple Shade. 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 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.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maple Shade. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
