“Marie was an excellent catsitter and housesitter. She was patient with our precious boy R2-D2 and left the house as she found it. She communicated well and responded to messages quickly. Marie is a great choice to care for your pet!”
“Amy did a wonderful job with Lexi! Lexi can be anxious with new people but she seemed very comfortable with Amy and had a great time! Amy was also excellent about communication and sending photos of Lexi to us.”
“We had just gotten our puppy and needed a sitter to watch him two days later. Cassie was fantastic; she had no issues watching him in our home and was even nice enough to bring him back to her home where she has a fenced in backyard! She provided photos and updates throughout the day and we will definitely book her again!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Heather. Not only was she able to accommodate caring for our pets for an almost 3 week vacation, she also took care of all the other little details we requested such as getting our mail, taking care of package deliveries, bringing the trash and recycle bins out each week and managing to return the house cleaner than we had left it. This was a very time consuming engagement for Heather as we have 2 cats and 2 large dogs. Both dogs needed extra care in regards to medical conditions and Heather made sure all their needs were met both efficiently and with wonderful attention to playing with the dogs. She even brushed them. Throughout our vacation, Heather kept in daily contact with updates on how all the fur babies were doing as well as lots of pictures and videos. Heather is a gem and I wouldn't hesitate to call on her again the next time we go on vacation. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caregiver for their pets.”
“Kimberly was a great dog sitter for our dog, and I highly recommend her! She was incredibly responsible and kept us updated regularly throughout dog sitting duration. We especially appreciated how proactive she was in reaching out whenever she had a question or wanted to check on something. The frequent updates and all the wonderful pictures gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Kimberly truly went above and beyond. When we returned, not only had she taken excellent care of our dog, but she had also cleaned the house and even washed the sheets and blankets which was something we never expected but greatly appreciated. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable, and caring dog sitter, Kimberly is an excellent choice.”
“Isabel took great care of our two dogs in our home over the weekend! She was comfortable administering their medications, and sent lots of great updates and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our boys again!”
“Madison was very attentive to our pups and kept us updated the entire time we were away. She made sure our two energetic Aussies were well taken care of. A very responsible young lady!”
“Madonna was amazing! She communicated well, she was flexible as we had some work going on in the yard, and she was great with the dogs. The dogs love her! I will hope I’m lucky enough to ba e Madonna house sit again.”
“Lou stayed with our two big dogs this weekend and what a find! I told my husband that it's the first time that I've been utterly comfortable and worry-free on vacation. The amount of communication and updates were just right and left us feeling like our dogs were in good hands. And they left our place immaculate! I walked in and there was nothing to do! What a nice way to return from holiday. I would highly recommend.”
“Heather is awesome!!! A family member was supposed to watch our dogs but she was injured just days before our trip. I reached out to Heather at 4pm on a Tuesday and she was at my house for a meet and greet at 8am Wednesday. She was super accommodating from the first moment all the way to the end of the sitting. Throughout our vaca she sent pics and videos but was also totally self sufficient. The dogs had a great time with her. When we got home our dogs were happy to see us but not desperate for attention as they sometimes have been in the past after we’ve been away. You could tell that they were the #1 focus of Heather’s time while we were gone and received tons of play and snuggles. I will absolutely book Heather again and highly recommend her!”
About: I meditate regularly so I have a calm, grounded presence, especially around animals. I grew up around cat and dogs my whole life so I know them well and how to care for them. Also I all kinds of animals including octopus, fish, snakes, scorpions, frogs, spiders, hedgehogs, ferrets, etc. Happy to care for any and all pets in your family. I run my own design/tech/apparel company (goodfornothing.lol) so I can work from anywhere on my laptop and my schedule is my own. Taking care of animals is a joy for me and gets me out of the house and out for walks =) I can be available for weekdays or most weekends with enough prior notice. I especially enjoy dropping in on pets during the day when their people are at work and give them some time/food/walks/playtime/attention. I can't offer pet boarding in my home currently, but I'm happy to house and pet sit for you while your family is away. I prefer sleeping in my own travel camper that I can park easily by your home when I come to visit. Happy to arrange anything from as short as a weekend to a few weeks if you'll be away for a while.
“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”
“Kotone was the perfect solution when we had to go out of town for a few nights! Our AmStaff loved them and they even won over our cats, who are often wary of strangers and stay hidden. Kotone sent some pictures from the visit and even our most skittish cat was enjoying pets :) They were very pleasant and respectful of our home. We will definitely keep Kotone in mind for future travels.”
“Chloe did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two dogs (Nala, a one year old golden retriever and Maui, an almost six year old, lab mix) while we were away. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with handling pets. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. One thing that really stood out was how quickly our dog Maui—who is usually very picky about people—gravitated toward her right away. That alone spoke volumes about Chloe’s calm, trustworthy presence and natural connection with animals. It’s obvious that Chloe genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and she treated ours like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. We are already thinking about leaving again so the dogs can hang out with Chloe.”
“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”
“Kemba is great! The dogs love him and he leaves the house just as you left it. Recommend to anybody who wants dog sitting and house sitting services :)”
“Christina took great care of Teddy, giving him plenty of walks and attention. She kept us informed with pictures and updates. She was respectful of our home and helped with watering plants. Will definitely be having her sit for Teddy again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Mapleville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,941 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mapleville. 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 Mapleville 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 Mapleville 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 Mapleville 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.
