“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.”
“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!”
“I have put my life on hold for a long time, but leaving my fur babies with anyone is always stressful. However, Elena is a breath of fresh air! She is truly amazing, and I felt at ease with her immediately. Elena is very communicative and sends cute photos to check in regularly. Marley recently lost her brother and has been feeling depressed. The bonus is that Elena has a 2-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle named Lava, whom we introduced to Marley during a meet and greet. They got along so well that Lava gets to babysit too! I hope this new friendship will help bring Marley out of her shell and support her through the grieving process. I cannot say enough great things about Elena. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog nanny who may even teach their fur baby a trick or two! Lava does backward handstands on command so definitely talk to her about dog training, which is a passion of hers.”
“Eleanor had great communication and was super prompt. She asked good questions at the meet and greet and my dogs were super chill and relaxed when I came home. She was also fantastic about helping me work through a last minute reschedule which was above and beyond. I am super excited to have found her and will def be using her again.”
“Alex stayed with our pets for 8 nights and took really good care of the pets and the house. We received a number of updates about how they were eating and behaving and pictures that helped us know the cats and guinea pigs were well cared for. Thank you Alex!”
“Casey took care of our two dogs during our time in Charleston, and she made everything easier. She adjusted her arrival time to fit our schedule and did everything we asked without any fuss. When we arrived late, she made sure we still had access to our keys, which was a huge relief after a long day of travel. Most importantly, she was great with the dogs. They were relaxed, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her, which is the best review a dog can give. We’d book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Isabel is the best! From when I first met her at the meet and greet I knew she would be great for Roxy. She took great care of my fur baby. She gave Roxy lots of attention and loves just what my little separation anxiety girl needs. She sent pictures and video daily and was quick to respond whenever I reached out. When our flight got delayed she was so understanding and helpful. It was a big relief she could work it into her schedule to stay another night. I can’t recommend her enough! She will always be my first choice, thank you Isabel!”
About: I've pet sat for a few family members for as long as they've needed a sitter for. I also have my own animal currently and grew up with many animals in the household. I'm good at doing the specifics if your pet needs meds, has a specific diet, or needs special care. Just give me a list and I'll do whatever is needed. I can work my schedule around what you need, just ask and I'll see what I can do! I can work anywhere between 6am and 10pm unless I'm house sitting, then that's 24 hrs if needed. I have a small fenced yard and a cat if you want the Fur baby to stay with me, or if I care for them at yours, just leave me a list, and I'll do whatever is needed!

“Gaby was great! Mack took to her instantly and she was amazing with him. Gave great updates throughout the stay and checked in with me when he was feeling a little off and helped through that. Very communicative. Would absolutely have her sit again!”

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Maple Valley is $77 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $122 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.

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 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 Valley. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
