“This was my first time using Rover. Was very happy how easy it was. Ashley was great and took good care of both Chance and my place. Would totally use Ashley again and would recommend her to any dog owner.”
“We booked Alaina for pet and house sitting for a few weeks. Alaina was super sweet to meet up a couple times before booking for introductions and instructions, which we appreciated! Our kitty seemed to be happy and healthy with her upon our return and I didn’t worry a lot while on vacation! Alaina communicated with us daily over text. Our apartment was left decently clean when we got back.”
“Shaylee was beyond amazing. She stayed at our home with our two crazy pups when we went on a cruise. Although they still have training to do, she handled them really well and provided many updates and sent pictures too. We always felt our dogs were safe and taken care of and never had to worry about them. I could tell they were definitely loved and cared for while we were away. If we need anyone in the future Shaylee would be our first pick! (Once they get better training that is haha) thank you soooo much. Also can’t forget how great the house looked when we got back. You’re the best. I would recommend Shaylee to anyone!”
“Jonah is awesome! He took such great care of Drew and my townhome…When I got home from a trip, you can tell that she was well taken care of and happy…he went above and beyond, communicated throughout the stay. Really appreciate the time and attention he gave to Drew.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved working with them. For two years, I worked as a boarding technician at a veterinary clinic, where I cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. My experience, both personal and professional, has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behavior. Pet care has always been a part of my life, Im going into vet school and anything that has to do with animals is like a dream come true. I have a Vizsla that is now 13 years old. I’ve had her ever since she was 1 years old. I’ve walked her and did everything with her but now she’s getting to old to go on some big walks. I have a big back yard that she loves to play and run or jog around in.
“Incredibly impressed with Tyler! We’ve had many house/catsitters and Tyler clearly stands above them all. Everything from his communications, check-ins, level of care, attention to detail, cleanliness, organization, and how much he loves animals in unmatched! Don’t hesitate having Tyler help you!”
“Kylie was amazing! Our dog Lila can take a while to warm up to new people, and Kylie was able to come ahead of her scheduled time to meet Lila and they hit it off immediately! She checked in with us every day and sent pictures of our babies, which made us feels even more comfortable. We will definitely be using Kylie as a sitter again!!!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs, cats, hamster, birds, you name it since before I could walk! Though many sitters are qualified, not all are as loving and attentive as I am. I treat each animal like a new member of my family. The years of experience x love for pets makes me the perfect fit. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to be home every hour if needed. In the past I have reached out to friends with pets to see if I could be their free dog sitter since I miss my family dogs so much. This fits in perfectly with my routine. Safety, care, and love, are always my top priorities. I am very sensitive to the needs and feelings of each pet I encounter and it always become a personal mission of mine to not only help them physically but to uplift them emotionally as well.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I'm excited to take care of your furry family. I've trained horses and I have a dog of my own who is very sweet and kind. I'm able to walk your pets, or drop by all hours of the day. I'll make sure they're well taken care of and loved 😋🩷 I have an open house, large back yard and a sizable built in kennel off to the side of the house. I'll be able to take care of all your pets needs and we'll have lots of fun together
About: I’ve had dogs in my house since I can remember, and have had my own fur baby for 4 years now! Friends and family have trusted me to watch, walk, and love their dogs while they are away. I will love your fur babies like they are my own! I am currently working part time and would love to help out with your pets when i’m not at work! My shifts vary day to day but am more than willing to work with schedules :) I have a car and can come take care of your pets right where they feel most comfortable, their home! I have lots of patience for even those pets who may be a bit nervous with new people!
About: I am a reliable and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong passion for animals. Having cared for pets all my life, I am knowledgeable about a wide range of animals, including horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, and even small fish. I truly love animals and understand the importance of providing them with proper care, attention, and comfort. Over the years, I have cared for many pets for friends and neighbors, and they have consistently praised my animal care skills, responsibility, and dedication to their pets’ well-being. I am a dependable and flexible pet sitter with plenty of availability to give pets the attention and care they need. I currently work part-time and attend school only one day a week for about an hour, which leaves my mornings, evenings, and much of my free time open for pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for pets while caring for them in their own home. I understand that pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I make sure to keep their routines consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I give every pet patience, affection, and personalized care to help them feel relaxed, happy, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had the absolute pleasure looking after numerous dogs and cats, tailoring my approach to each pets unique needs. From high-energy pups to senior friends, I’ve provided attentive care, ensuring their comfort, exercise, and happiness. I currently work and attend school remotely with a flexible schedule to take care and play with your pups or cats. I’m available both weekdays and weekends. I live in a house and have the schedule to take your dog out on long walks or runs. There are many trails that I know of that I like to go to often. I am an avid runner and hiker who is always looking for an excuse to be outside. Let me know if your pet has any specific needs or behaviors to attend to. I am comfortable with any breed or size of pet.
“She was so amazing 15/10 stars. I’m not going to lie I was a little skeptical about rover and having someone I don’t really know come over to my home and babysit my brand new puppy, was a little scary to me, but she was so nice. She sent hourly pictures, followed all the instructions and so willing to communicate. Would definitely rebook.”
“Sarah was great. She communicated frequently while we were away, she took my puppy to his daycare on the set days, my judgey cat became her biggest fan, and overall the animals seemed really happy. She also left my place in great condition and was even willing to haul some mistimed deliveries into my garage. Thanks Sarah!”
About: I come from a “dog” family and have been around and cared for dogs since I was little! I have experience with various breeds from dachshunds to GSPs to golden doodles and beyond! I now have a dog of my own who I have house-trained and obedience-trained to be well behaved and well loved. I love every animal like my own and am patient with wherever they are at in their journey. I have a 10am-6pm job from M-F which gives me flexibility throughout the day to move things around and take care of your dog! Weekends are open! I am living in an apartment and utilize my second room to crate my puppy at night. I can easily crate your puppy in our apartment or accommodate to make them most comfortable. We do not have a backyard, but have many grassy areas directly outside of the stairwell and around the complex. Due to having my own high-energy puppy, I spend a lot of time outside, on walks, and at the park to allow for sufficient play time throughout the day that also accompanies play time and mental stimulation activities inside. When I am not home, I have a camera which I can view from my phone and check once an hour to ensure that the dogs are doing well. I am not gone for longer than 4 hours when I am not at work. I am willing to care for your dogs from your home as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mapleton
Ashtyn was very accommodating. I had to drop my dog indy off at 5:30 am and she was awake to meet him at the door before I even knocked. My dog immediately embraced and warmed up to her. When I picked him up after work he was in a great mood. Happy as can be and was ready for a nap right when he got home. She took wonderful care of my puppy.

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.
