“Melissa was great! We have a timid but loving dog and he warmed up to her right away. Everything was just as we left it when we returned home and Melissa will be our first choice in the future!”
“Zach was amazing! Always friendly, attentive, and punctual. Mikey and Zeus have pretty specific needs and Zach made sure they were well cared for. Highly recommend, will book him again 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a large majority of my life! It all started with my grandma who has been doing it for as long as I can remember. I would always watch and sit with her while she was dog and cat sitting for many years. I can do anything from walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after, and overall making sure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away! I’m currently working on with kids Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2-6 so part time, which I love! I also have classes at NDSU Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but only from 10-11:50 so pet sitting can easily fit into my schedule! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to create a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing plenty of fresh water, giving lots of attention and playtime, and following any special instructions from the owner. I also keep their space clean and watch for any signs of health issues, so I can respond quickly if needed. Whether at my place or theirs, the goal is to keep pets happy, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have over two years of experience caring for dogs and cats in a daycare and boarding setting, along with additional experience caring for pets for friends and family! I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies and kittens to laid-back seniors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and administering medications. I’m also trained in dog and cat CPR and first aid, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in safe, caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently a Veterinary Technology student at NDSU, and I love being able to combine my education and hands-on experience to provide the best care possible for every pet! I’m currently a college student looking to share some extra love and snuggles with your pets! While I do have classes to work around, my schedule is fairly flexible. I’m available most weekends and select weekdays, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine to help them feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away! For walks, I provide safe, enjoyable exercise and time to explore. During drop-in visits, I take care of feeding, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. For overnight stays, I maintain their normal routines and make sure they feel safe and cared for. With over two years of professional experience and as a current Veterinary Technology student at NDSU, I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care for every pet!
About: I have a well trained puppy and have been working with my roommates dogs and cats for the last four years. I love to care for the fur babies. I work part-time at CCRI on weekdays so i can make ample time for your pet's routine. I can stop by as much as needed. I have a fenced backyard, a super friendly puppy and can have extra kennel if you need your dog to sleep in a crate/ kennel
About: I have had dogs since I was about 10 years old. I have dealt with aggressive dogs, dogs that love to escape, puppies, non potty trained dogs, and many more. Any corkiness your dog has, I can handle it! Your dogs and any pets can surely be trusted with me! I am currently a full time college student, but I only have 2 classes each day which leaves plenty of time to come on over and walk your dogs, feed them, etc! I have plenty of time to make sure your dog is taken care of! I will be able to care for your pets in your home no matter the circumstances. Whether you just need me to come by and walk them, or spend some time there to keep them company! You can trust me to be there for your little fur babies
About: I have helped in nearly every type of animal from avian to pets to livestock and more. I have in depth knowledge of behavior and training, nutrition, and even health and reproduction. I know how important animals are to their owners and do not take watching them lightly. It is a responsibility I love since I have an overwhelming passion for all living things🥰 I only have 2 in person classes a week and go to the gym. Everything else I usually do from home. My availability is near ideal for people who care about the level of attention their pets want/need😊 I have 2 friendly cats and have a large field outside my building. I have a large bed to share and room for kennels too. I live within walking distance of the river and nice trails so I can keep them active.
About: Currently a registered nurse. Worked in a vet clinic and went to vet tech school. Has worked with many different dog breeds and temperaments. Has worked with reactive dogs. I work full time in Jamestown so I would be able to assist with Jamestown pets during the week. Then I’m home on weekends so I could board during weekends. I have a fenced yard. I have three cats but if your dog is not cat friendly I would keep the dog in a separate room where they would still receive lots of attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mapleton. 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 Mapleton 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 Mapleton 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 Mapleton 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.
