“Cannot say great enough things about Gabrielle! She took wonderful care of my pups. One of my pups is challenging but she handled it with ease. I would highly recommend Gabrielle!”
“Fantastic house/dog sitter! She did an AMAZING job taking care of my two dogs and keeping us in the loop with daily photos and reports. If you get the opportunity to book with Alexa do it!!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Rob and Mabel got along well. Rob provided daily updates and was last-minute flexible when our end date changed! He even grabbed the mail for us as a courtesy. Rob left our home in the same condition it was in when we left. It was nice to come back to that. I We are happy to recommend him for your pet sitting needs. Mabel also gives five licks of approval!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Catherine was fantastic! She took great care of our puppy Phyllis and our 2 kitty cats, Frankie and Mimi and our home, and her communication was absolutely top‑notch. I got regular updates that made me feel totally relaxed while I was away. I came home to a happy pup and a house that looked perfect. Highly recommend Catherine! I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“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!”
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring reliability, calm confidence, and genuine affection to every pet I look after. I understand routines, behavior cues, and how to create a stress‑free environment for animals of all ages. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive care, clear communication, and a safe, comfortable space. Your peace of mind, and your pet’s happiness, are always my top priorities. Animals have always been part of my everyday life, so pet care blends seamlessly into my routine. I’m used to balancing work, errands, and pet responsibilities, from morning play sessions to evening wind downs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like an interruption. I provide all pet care directly in my clients’ homes, where animals feel safest and most comfortable. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and any special instructions, so nothing in their day feels unfamiliar or stressful. I pay attention to their habits, moods, and comfort levels, and I make sure their space stays clean, calm, and consistent while their family is away. My goal is always to keep pets relaxed, happy, and cared for in the environment they know best.
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.
“Kaylah is an absolute gem! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and attentive from start to finish. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and took such wonderful care of both our dog and cat while we were away. We especially appreciated all the photos and updates throughout the weekend. Knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us such peace of mind. She also took excellent care of our home, which made being away completely stress-free. It’s clear that Kaylah genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility of caring for them seriously. We came home to two very happy pets and a beautifully cared-for house. We would absolutely trust her with our babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring sitter!”
“Kayleigh is absolutely wonderful and a great fit for our pups. She sent plenty of pictures and updates on Finn and Maverick and gave them plenty of love. Maverick usually takes a bit to warm up to new people but with her he immediately found a new friend. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time that we've left our boy, Finn, at home with a sitter. Amy was great! She adapted to our slight changes in plans, with us having gotten stuck at the Jersey shore during a Nor' Easter. Great communication and left the house spotless and the dog happy! We highly recommend Amy!”
About: I adored my puppy for nearly 13 years and I trained her as a puppy. I also had two dachshunds that I raised as puppies. I have dogs sat for many friends and I cared for each as if they were my own. Dogs feel comfortable with me immediately. I am retired and have full availability to be with your dog all day. I only need a couple of days notice to be available. I cannot have dogs at my apartment at this time as I live in a place where dogs are only allowed if they are service dogs. I can stay in your dog’s environment so they feel safe and comfortable.
“Quanece & Malik did an amazing job watching our dogs. They were incredibly communicative, they sent a message every time they walked our dogs with pictures/videos and details of the walk. We have two large breed dogs and one who can be a bit of a challenge - as he has a lot of energy - he takes an experienced dog walker to care for him. Quanece & Malik handled both dogs like professionals, which allowed me and my family to take a vacation without worrying about our pups at home. Thank you Quanece & Malik for your excellent care of our dogs- we would 10/10 recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our dog Reggie! It was the first time we left him and she was amazing about sending pics and updates! I couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she took of our puppy”

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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 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 October 2026, there are 5,301 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
