“Gabby was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our home and pets while we were away. Everything was spotless when we returned, and our animals were happy and clearly well‑loved. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Ashlynn! 🐾 I’ve never gone a day in my life without an animal! I’m currently a proud pet parent to a 17-year-old Goldendoodle, a 4-year-old Mini Goldendoodle, an 8-year-old Persian/Russian Blue cat, and an 8-year-old leopard gecko. Needless to say, animals have always been a huge part of my life! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets, medication administration, daily walks, feeding routines, and overnight stays. I primarily offer overnight house sitting and in-home pet care, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, and I always prioritize following your pet’s routine, keeping your home tidy, and providing regular updates and photos. I work full-time Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, and am typically available for overnight stays from 6 PM–8 AM. Weekends 24 hrs. Have no problem going to and from work while staying with your pets! Whether your pet needs extra attention, a little patience, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! ❤️ Looking forward to hearing from you and your babies! My Availability: I work full-time Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For overnight house-sitting bookings during the workweek, I am typically available to be in your home from 6:00 PM to 8:00 AM. During the weekends I am available 24hrs! I’m always upfront about my schedule to ensure your pet’s care needs align with my availability. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect as my own, ensuring a clean, safe, and comfortable environment throughout my stay. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box maintenance, and any special accommodations you or your pet may need. This can include garbage/waste disposal, light cleaning and laundry etc.
“Was very nervous to leave my dog with someone he barely knew, as he is very slow to warm up to strangers. From the first meet and greet Aileen took diligent notes and was respectful of the space Henry needed to feel comfortable. She stayed with him for 2 nights while we were away & kept us updated the whole time with copious updates and photos (and a few videos too). She was also considerate of our home and left it secure, clean, and cared for— just like the dog. Whether it’s a walk or an overnight stay, will absolutely rebook with Aileen. 10/10 recommend”
“Vanessa is a true animal lover! She does what is asked, sticks to the routine and gives 100% attention to the babies! Our babies loved her right from the second they met her! I highly recommend Vanessa!”
“Jess was fantastic! We had plans to board our dog while we went on vacation but it fell through last minute and we were stuck without reliable care. We downloaded Rover, did some research, and found Jess who was INCREDIBLY responsive and sensitive to our needs. She was able to offer in-home pet sitting for us on short notice which we were so grateful for. We were still able to go on our trip for a few days and we felt like our sweet girl was in great hands with Jess. She kept our home tidy, followed all of our directions, and even helped us meet some training goals! We highly recommend working with Jess and will be keeping in touch with her for future care!”
“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!”
“Whitney was so great! When my flight was delayed by 10 hours she was so kind and extremely helpful with staying longer with my dog. She’s the best!”
About: I’m a true animal lover and college student and I love to pet sit in my free time! I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and private clients for about 6 years now, and I always send pictures and videos from every visit to check in! I work full time as a shift supervisor at starbucks, so I balance pet sitting around my work schedule. Due to this my availability varies significantly weekly, but I will always be communicative about how pet sitting fits into my schedule! I have two cats of my own and I know what it’s like to worry that your animals are in good hands! I always provide the care I would require for my pets when I sit for anyone!
“Catherine took such great care of our little princess. She was extremely professional and kept us informed the whole time we were away. Our dog loved her calm demeanor. Our dog is a blind, diabetic little softie who requires help to get up and down stairs but again Catherine was up for the task. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to look after your dog.”
“I've had Peter petsit for a year or two now, and he's fantastic. He's responsive, timely, trustworthy, and communicative. You can tell he really cares about the animals and treats them like family. Peter goes above and beyond, and he's helped us with a crisis or two while we were out of town. He did really well with my reactive dog (who loved him despite being aloof with most people) as well as my new puppy. Peter is my go-to for pet care and once you hire him, I'm sure he'll be yours too!”

About: Long-time Dog Lover and Owner Here! I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, ranging from Beagles to Pits but I love all breeds of dogs. Over the years I’ve done lots of dog sitting for friends and family and am always up for some good play time and cuddle time with doggos. I’m experienced with administering medication to dogs and cats. I’m also a quick learner and will be very mindful about particular requests in caring for your dog. I love to walk all over the city and look forward to taking your fur babies along with me!. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and spoiling your pups with lots of love! Note: Unfortunately, I cannot care for or accommodate cats as I am highly allergic :( I currently work mornings until 2pm and live close to work so I have full afternoons and evenings available for your fur baby. I’m also off on weekends and have open availability. I have a fenced in yard and no pets currently. I do have a 5-year-old child but she has been around dogs and is very kind and gentle with them. However, your dog must be ok with small children. I also live in a neighborhood with wide sidewalks and a nearby playground making it super easy to walk your dog. I also have a car so I can easily drive to places in the area to for drop-in visits and dog sitting.
“Kayleigh was fantastic and I would highly recommend her. She sent me pictures and videos, of my dog and cat, so I knew all was well. She also keep me informed, via text, of the daily walks and such. Truly a great person , trustworthy, and reliable.”
“Hanna was everything you’d want in a sitter. Communicative to your preference, experienced, caring, loving and cleanly! We immediately clicked with Hanna and so did the animals, most importantly. She took care of our two dogs and I could tell how happy they were just from the pictures. She was also extremely respectful and cleanly during her stay. I have two happy loved dogs and I can’t wait to rebook. Cannot recommended enough!”
“We used Ari for 5 days for our dog Freddy , we had a destination wedding for my sister who was getting married and we interviewed with Ari in oct and we had a meet up with him and Freddy to just make sure he would be able to watch him for 5 days in our home because our Fred is comfortable in his own home and Ari has no problem accommodating and staying with him each night at our home. He was attentive and communicative lending up to his arrival day and while we were on vacation he made sure to send update and answer and of my million calls just to check in on our dog. I made sure to ask Ari if he wanted any food stocked in the house for himself to have while he was here and his only request was simple just lemonade . Once arriving home today our Freddy was as happy as can be our house looked the exact way we left it and we are already in talks to have him back again in May for our Mexico Trip !!! I can not recommend Ari enough to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter for a vacation trip or wedding or just to walk your dog !! We provide him also with a tip via Apple Pay for him because of him going above and beyond for our Freddy and for us .”
“Jordyn was so great! We were away for a long trip and she took such good care of Mika. I appreciated her daily updates and pictures so we knew our dog was doing okay! Would definitely book with Jordyn in the future!”

Kristen was Amazing! She cares for our 2 pups for a week while we were away. My little Penny who initially tested her became her best friend. We had photos daily and videos. She did such an amazing job I think our pups were disappointed when we came home…LOL. I highly recommend her we couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker.
Gabrielle took great care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for 4 nights. Our 10 month old puppy is a handful and Gabrielle was incredibly patient with him. Our other dog is a senior who requires oral medication twice daily which she administers no problem. She is a great communicator and gives timely updates!
We’re so lucky we found Veronique - great communication and really helped us out with a pretty last minute request. We felt confident leaving our dog with her after the meet and greet. He seemed very comfortable and happy with her and she left us with the cutest photo and report card.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Maple Shade is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $105 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,285 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maple Shade. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
