“Alexis was great! I appreciated her willingness to help with additional tasks like watering the plants and bringing in mail. We loved receiving daily photos of our Coco while we were on vacation.”
“Kristin was the best Dogsitter & house sitter we’ve ever had. She constantly shared updates to let us know things were going well, took amazing pictures, and handled all the pups complicated medical issues. They were so happy and realized with hereven though they’re so high strung. She’s truly cares about their well being. Also I’m pretty sure the house was cleaner than when we left!! A+++ thank you so much!!!”
“Our cat has separation anxieties, and Stephanie went above and beyond to take care of him during the 8 nights that we were away. She even brought her Amazon Echo to play calming music to help with our cat's anxiety when left alone, and it's obvious to us our cat adores her. Stephanie also helped me feel comfortable and at ease since that was the first time we left our cat for an extended period. We received daily updates and photos of our cat, which we truly enjoy and appreciate. Stephanie is honest and reliable, and there aren't enough words to describe how much we appreciate her. We plan to use her service in the future and we highly recommend her.”
“Ashli was wonderful with our girl! We got frequent updates with pictures. We were very comfortable with Ashli staying in our home and can’t wait to have her back! Our dog definitely loved her!”
“Katie is a great house sitter and took wonderful care of our home. She's super responsive and kept us informed the whole time about our pets. When we got back our pets were relaxed and happy and we couldn't be happier.”
“Thank you so much for taking such sweet care of our fur babies! Our little ChiChi was diagnosed with Addisons just the week before and was very ill. We came home to a very happy boy who had gained nearly all 9 pounds of his weight loss back! Thank you!!!”
“Brevin was great with all 4 of our pets (3 Dogs and a Cat) and they are a handful lol. I would recommend Brevin for all your petting needs and look forward to hiring him for our next trip.”
“Christian was great with our pups and took good care of our place while we were on vacation. Our house was spotless when we returned and he went above and beyond in playing with the dogs, they really enjoyed all the fun time he gave them.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years now and want to make a future out of it. Any experience helps me ensure that my veterinary technician career pathway is tangible! I am completely free in availability- although I may be busy during the day doing my volunteering at my local cat clinic! My schedule fluctuates within a wide range, but is usually only during 2 days of the week. I have a fenced yard and two cats that I groom and take care of myself. I have had both of them for about 2 years now and they are the healthiest; cutest cats you’d ever meet!
“Gianna did a great job with our two active Australian Shepherds. She left the house in great condition and helped us out by watering plants when the temperature was abnormally high. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our two in the future.”
“Mandy did an outstanding job with our 10 month old standard poodle. People in our neighborhood commented on how happy Teddy looked on his walks. Mandy sent photos of Teddy while we wee on our trip and gave us info on what she was doing with him, She even did a little training with Teddy which we greatly appreciated. In addition to caring for the dog she kept the house spotless and neat. I would strongly recommend Mandy to anyone looking for a caring and loving house sitter for there pet. we will obviously try to get Mandy for any future travel plkans we have.”
“Ardelle took care of our very energetic 90 lb dog in our home. We had two meet-ups prior to her stay. Our dog felt comfortable with her immediately. She took him on several walks, hikes and adventures. She was great at communicating and sent several pictures which was wonderful to see when we were across the country. I would highly recommend Ardelle.”
“Alex took great care of our two 17 year old cats while we were gone for 11 days. She gave us regular updates. The cats bonded with her fast! It was clear they felt comfortable and safe with her, and we came home to happy, healthy, relaxed cats. We were able to relax on vacation because we knew they were in great hands with Alex. We would book with her again.”
“Steve was great! Conscientious and very communicative. He took excellent care of our “boys”. Gave medication for several days and followed all the routines for feeding and toileting. He brought in packages and checked the mail regularly. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maple Valley
Lily was awesome! She took excellent care of our senior and young dog, who are equally sweet but have very different energy levels. She was prompt, attentive, and so kind--and even left my home cleaner than she found it! She provided daily updates and had great communication all around. We feel so fortunate to have found such a friendly and trustworthy sitter! Will definitely book with her again.
Sam was amazing! We hired her to take care of our dog and cat, and she was wonderful with both of them. She’s great with pets and really understands their behavior, which gave us so much peace of mind. She kept us updated with pictures throughout her stay and was very attentive to their needs. Even with a rainy week, she made sure to take our dog out whenever the weather cleared. Our return home took longer than anticipated, and Sam went above and beyond by staying with our pets until we got home rather than leaving them alone. She was also very respectful of our home and left everything exactly as we had left it. We were completely worry-free while we were away! Sam is officially our go-to pet sitter from now on. We’d absolutely recommend her!
Kate was very good at communicating quickly! Our dogs were well taken care of and seemed to have a good time with her watching them! She went above and beyond and watered our outdoor potted flowers to keep them thriving in the hot summer. We will definitely choose to book her again!
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!
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!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Maple Valley is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $121 per night.

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 , 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.
