“Gianna was fantastic! We have a fairly high needs bully breed and she was great with him. Between medication, walks, and high energy, all of his needs were met! Highly recommended!”
“Chris was awesome! Our dogs took right to her and the house looked great! She was comfortable when meeting our boisterous dogs and very punctual. She also sends great pics! We will definitely continue booking with Chris!”
“Natalie took awesome care of our dog and house for 5 days! She was especially skillful helping Luna stay calm during the fireworks following the Seahawks win! We came home to a very happy pup--who now expects multiple walks added to her daily routine :)”
About: I worked at a boarding business for about a year and a half for dogs and cats. I worked with all different sizes and breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. My job tittle including playing and cuddling with the animals, feeding the animals, cleaning where they stayed, and giving medicine to the animals that required it. I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.
“Our pups and home were so well taken care of during our weekend away. Came home to happy, content campers. Chelsea was communicative and shared lots of photos and updates of how everyone was while we were gone. Will definitely have her pup sit for us again!”
“Elena is such a sweetheart!!! My dog instantly fell in love with her and she was extremely fast at responding. Loved how she would send me lots of photos for updates and kept my dog busy with playing with him for a long time. I cannot wait to book her again she's amazing!!”
“Stephanie is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She took care of our boy a few days after he had a medical emergency and was diligent about his new pill routine and sent us regular updates on how he was doing. We would not have felt comfortable leaving him with other dog sitters. Thank you for providing thoughtful care, Stephanie!”
“Katelynn was wonderful! She took such great care of our boys while we were gone, sent regular pictures and updates, and helped us feel good about our vacation knowing our fur babies were in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Kathi, our pup sitter, was incredibly attentive and caring when taking care of our pups overnight. She was punctual in her arrival and promptly sent us pictures of how they were doing. We thoroughly enjoyed having her watch them and would definitely book her again for another time. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pup sitter!”
“Sara was wonderful with our older dog. We were gone for 9 days and she went above and beyond. She gave us daily updates and photos as well as asking good questions when she was unsure. We would definitely recommend Sara for dog sitting. You will have peace of mind.”
“Abigail took excellent care of Luna while we were away. She sent a ton of photos and was very good at communicating with us. I can tell she was well loved and cared for and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Isabella was amazing! She stepped in within just a couple of hours after my original sitter canceled last minute and stayed for two nights to watch my dog and cat. She kept me updated throughout her stay, sent me regular check-ins, and left my house spotless. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were well cared for. I would absolutely hire her again!”
“Jayden was amazing with our pets!! We have some unique needs and she was so attentive to detail. We were gone for a week and every day we got an update and she also sent some photos. She took care of the house, and it was clean when we returned home, just as we had left it! Our pets love her and we will for sure be rebooking with her.”
“Morgan was excellent! Struck the right balance of keeping us up to date without too much information so we could enjoy our trip. She sent plenty of pictures and really made us feel like our pups had someone who loved them almost as much as us taking care of them. I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone who needs their pups or house watched she was fantastic! We will definitely book with her in the future. P.S. our pups can be a little bit of a pain and she handled everything with finesse and grace. I can't express enough how appreciative we are that she was able to deal with their little quirks!”
“Makela watched our house & dog and cat for 8 days and she was absolutely amazing! She updated me daily and was always available if I reached out, and was always kind & professional. Our pets were very comfortable with her and extremely well taken care of which put my mind at ease. I will be rebooking with Makela for all pet sitting needs in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted sitter :)”
“Michelle was a fantastic pet and house sitter. She went above and beyond our expectations. Our pets were well cared for and maybe had a better vacation than we did!! We look forward to rebooking Michelle for our next trip.”

Kathryn was fantastic! She watched our dog, Oakley, for 4 days and treated our home with total respect. Our dog immediately warmed up to Kathryn at our meet and greet and was very excited to see her when she arrived to start her sitting. She showed up on time, was great at communicating, and provided daily pics (which we really appreciated). We highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. We would certainly book with her again.
This was my first time booking with Julia and she did a great job taking care of my dogs. She was very quick at responding to my messages, updated me on the dogs, and sent me daily pictures. I knew my dogs were in great hands the whole time we were gone. Would definitely have her watch my dogs again!
Gianna was an excellent house sitter. I came home to a happy dog, house in excellent condition, and appreciated the updates and photos that she sent. I also appreciated her last minute availability and how easy it was to coordinate with her. I will definitely ask her to house sit again!
Once again Dawn took wonderful care of our 3 dogs. She followed all instructions for their care. They love being with her. She is always punctual, an excellent communicator and reliable. The house was clean and tidy upon our return. We highly recommend Dawn to anyone!
Eleanor watched our dog Scout for us at our house over a 4-day long weekend. Scout got walks and lots of attention! We felt good leaving Scout in Eleanor’s hands while we were away—she’s communicative and very responsive. And left everything very tidy! We’d have her back for sure!
Sean was awesome. He and my dog did great. I appreciated the walks and play time he spent with Beuford. Sean stayed at my house and we were completely comfortable with him being there. He communicated clearly with us all through the process. I was able to be totally relaxed because I knew my dog was in good hands!
Mia did a great job for us. The animals loved her. Great personality and very reliable. We’ve had our fair share of average sitters, and Mia was well beyond expectations. Fantastic communication. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect sitter.
This was my first time using Rover and it did not disappoint. We found an amazing dog sitter in Amanda. She took care of our 3 frenchies. She was caring, sent pictures of them playing each day with an update. We asked if she could water our garden and she kept the house in order while we were away. She was fantastic and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 5 stars!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maple Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maple Valley on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,865 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maple Valley. 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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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.

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.
