“Gabrielle was wonderful while we were away. She kept in contact the whole time. We gave her a lot of details for Bowie’s care before we left. She followed them precisely and asked questions if anything came up that we did not tell her. We got lots of pics and updates. We felt at ease knowing Bowie was being well cared for. When bad weather was predicted for our return date she stayed with him way past when we had agreed upon to make sure we were safely en route home before leaving him. Definitely got 5 star care and service from her and recommend her full heartedly.”
“We always know our dog and our house are in good hands with Christopher. He leaves the house spotless, and he keeps our dog happy, healthy, and comfortable, with no complications or other concerns.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a young child and have 2 of my own that I am absolutely obsessed with! Cats are my speciality. I currently work in Philadelphia as a visiting infusion nurse Monday-Thursday 10hr shifts. And have more availability Friday-Sunday. But also can be available after my shift if needed! I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in my clients' homes so they can stay comfortable in their own environment. I follow each individual pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I will also provide photos and videos for owners to give them peace of mind!
“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.”
“Another incredible air & stay (pun intended). Aileen took great care of two of our dogs while we were away with our third. She gave very detailed updates and made sure our girls didn’t miss us one bit. Highly recommend.”
“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!❤️”
“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!”
“Christina’s been great. I’ve used her twice so far and will continue to use her for over night stays. She has quickly bonded with my anxious dog. She handles all my dogs daily needs, and leaves my apartment clean and neat. Would definitely recommend”
About: I’ve been pet sitting, including overnights at clients' homes, for over six years. I genuinely love getting to know animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and even bearded dragons! I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those who need a little extra patience, including blind pets and those who sometimes have accidents. I always strive to keep my clients' fur babes happy and relaxed so that they feel safe while their parents are away. I also include watering plants and mail fetching in my services. If desired, we can chat about house cleaning rates, too. Thank you for considering me! I work full time but am available to check in on pets in the morning, at lunch, and after work, including overnight stays. When I accept a job, I make pet sitting my first priority! I am happy to flex my work schedule to ensure you receive the best care for your pets and home. It is my absolute priority to create a safe, calm, and familiar environment for every pet that I care for. I am a stickler for following instructions, and even prefer a detailed list of feeding schedules, medication needs, routines, and any behaviors or triggers that may help me with your pet(s). I am detail oriented (which helps in my full-time job, too!), paying strict attention to locking doors and gates, setting alarms, and keeping spaces clear for my furry friends. I also monitor pet behavior and their bodies for any changes that may warrant contacting you. My ultimate goal is your peace of mind.
“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!”
“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!”
“Thanks to Greg we were finally able to go away without our needy pets. We were able to relax because Greg did a great job of connecting with our pets and communicating with us. He followed all of our detailed instructions and cleaned up like he was never here. We hope to hire Greg again for more housesitting. His care is much appreciated.”
“I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!”
About: Hello this is Santiago, If your dog loves to burn off energy, they will love hanging out with me! I am very playful and love nothing more than a high-intensity game of catch in the backyard or at the park. If a game of fetch isn't their thing, I am always down to run around and play whatever games they enjoy.Just like the sweet, massive pups I’ve cared for in the past, I bring a patient, loving "Gentle Giant" energy to every visit. Don't worry if your dog is on the smaller side, either—I am incredibly mindful of my size and know exactly how to be soft, gentle, and encouraging with smaller dogs and cats so they feel completely safe and secure around me. Pet care fits perfectly into my morning and evening routines! I dedicate my early mornings and late afternoons/evenings entirely to drop-in visits, walks, and playtime. This routine is ideal for working pet parents who need someone reliable to check on their furry friends before and after the workday. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities.Inside the Home: I strictly follow the owner's entry and exit instructions, ensuring doors and gates are securely locked behind me. I provide a calm environment, refresh food and water, clean up any messes, and give lots of affection. As a gentle giant, I am highly mindful of my size and make sure to approach smaller dogs and cats softly so they feel completely safe. If the dog is high-energy, we will spend time playing catch or running around the yard to burn off energy safely.On Walks: I maintain total control of the leash at all times. My physical strength allows me to easily manage large, powerful breeds like German Shepherds or hunting dogs if they pull or encounter a distraction. I stay alert to our surroundings, avoid unknown dogs, and ensure your pet stays safe, happy, and well-exercised before tucking them safely back into their home.
“Alexys did a great job with our kitten and puppy. She kept us updated on how they were doing. Our puppy is skittish around new people and things and she was able to win him over. She was also very professional and our home was as we left it. We will be using her again in a few days after having her here for the past week.”
“What a great house sitter! Keeps us informed and gets along great with our dog, This time, she handled him and my daughter’s dog at the same time, despite them never have spent a lot of time together.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maple Shade
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!
I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!
Aileen was absolutely incredible! My dog, Taylor, just loved her. She was so careful and on top of everything. She sent wonderful photos and videos that made me feel so good about the care that Taylor was getting. I had some special instructions, and she followed them so carefully. Aileen has a wonderful personality, and you can tell that she loves dogs. Dogs love her too. I never worried about leaving Taylor with her – she was in the absolute best hands! As a bonus, she even cleaned up before she left, and my house was immaculate. If I could give her 100 stars I would. I will definitely use Aileen 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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 5,317 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.
