“Allison was great with my 2 pugs. She went above and beyond what I expected. My go loved her. She watered plants, filled Hummingbird feeders and dispensed medicine to one of the girls. She left my house clean and was a joy to work with”
About: I have watched dogs both young and old. They are truly beautiful animals, and I love being around them. I know how to communicate with them and make them feel comfortable and loved:) Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I work approximately 10 hours a week, so I have plenty of time to care for animals and love on them. My life is pretty simple and uncluttered so being able to care for your animal would be a perfect fit for both me and your pet. I live in the country on 2.5 acres. My 2,300 square foot house is open concept and there is plenty of room for pets to roam. There are many large windows to look out and watch the wildlife. I love to take walks and there is next to no traffic in my area. My spare room has a large tree house for cats to enjoy.
“Sadie stayed at my condo for seven days watching our dog and cat. She did an amazing job. She was trustworthy and responsible and she gave 150% for everything she did. Sadie communicated well before, during, and after her stay. She was clean and she was gracious. I will definitely plan to see if Sadie is available if I ever am out of town and I highly recommend her to anybody wanting an amazing pet sitter!”
About: I have been babysitting and pet sitting for 5+ years. I love animals and always have! I love running around with them, taking them to the park, throwing their ball, playing tug of war, etc. Animals are family and should be treated as such! I am prepared for puppies all the way to old aged dogs. I have been around dogs my entire life and as they have provided me with happiness I intend to always do the same back. I am available to meet the animals before hand and have a meeting so that we know we are a right fit! Don’t hesitate to ask about any extra things while your gone like watering the plants, cleaning, or running errands. Me and your dog will have an amazing time! I am currently a nurse so my schedule is constantly changing. I typically work three 12hr shifts during the week! I just wanted to add this to my weekly regimen because this is something I did before becoming a nurse and miss. I am excited to meet you and your pets! I will care for your babies the same way I care for mine - with love, patience, and playfulness. I can also do extra care such as watering plants!
“Abbi is so sweet and was so nice with my dog!! He is a handful but Abbi took great care of him and was so kind and patient with him. She even called me to tell me that my ceiling was leaking and stayed over while the guy fixed it. I highly recommend Abbi and will be asking her for any of my pet-sitting needs :)”
“Earlier this year Elizabeth would do once a day drop in visits for our cat. But now my cat is newly diabetic and needs shots twice daily which complicates going out of town more! Having Elizabeth regularly checking on my cat and doing the shots is so helpful. I appreciate it so much!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and started pet sitting other people’s pets in high school. I’ve looked after all types of pets such as hermit crabs, rats, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Since then I’ve adopted two kitties of my own and I can’t wait to look after yours! I am happy to stop by for drop in visits before or after my shifts at work or on my days off, send me a message for more specific scheduling. I am very comfortable navigating your home to your needs. I am happy to follow any instruction given and will make sure your fur baby is happy and safely taken care of.
“Riley made our furry family happy and safe. She has the unique ability to communicate and bond with animals. Our pets and house were well cared for. Riley communicated with us throughout our 5 day trip with pictures and updates. There were no surprises upon our arrival. Riley is an absolute gem.”
About: I took care of my childhood dog for over 10 years, walking, feeding, playing, and bathing. I love all kinds of dogs, especially the little weirdos and lazy ones! I've had the opportunity to tag along with my older sister when she would cat-sit. Cats tend to love me (sometimes because cats are cool like that) even when they're not usually cuddly, and I love them even more! I'm currently a full-time college student, so evenings on weekdays, except for Fridays; then I'm free all day! Of course, I'm also free on the weekends whenever! I can absolutely crate and walk dogs, scoop litter boxes, provide any comfort/support required for anxious animals according to your instructions, feeding with clear instructions (I know sometimes they have sensitive stomachs, allergies, or strict regimens).
About: I was a devoted pet parent for 12 years, caring for my yorkies Maggie & Molly from the time they were one through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, maintaining routines, and administering insulin injections when needed. While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love I’d want for my own 🐾 I work Monday through Friday 9am to 4pm. I’m in the office every Tuesday & Wednesday and every other Monday. I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays. I can provide pet care both before and after work, with extra flexibility on my work-from-home days ☺️ I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away 🐾❤️
About: I have 4 years of pet sitting experience and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or occasional overnight stay, I provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently in graduate school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or an overnight companion, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I strive to provide dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I prefer to watch the animals in the clients home. I feel it makes them more comfortable when they’re in an environment that they know! I will follow any instructions given and will be just a phone call or text away if you want to check on your pups!
“Heather was awesome with our lab, Matilda. We felt totally comfortable with her and this made our overnight more enjoyable. Heather was patient with Matilda and went the extra mile when Tilds was being stubborn. We will definitely book Heather again and recommend her highly.”
“Holly stayed with our two pups and cat. She sent us photos and updates each day and even helped out with some unexpected eyedrops needed for our cat while away. We look forward to booking Holly again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maplewood
This was our first time using Rover.com and we were very impressed with this service. Just great!!! And, the highlight was our sitter, Taylor! We had her come to meet Levi about a week before we left to make sure both her and Levi would be good together. He can sometimes be a grouchy old man! lol After the meeting, we felt we made a great connection with finding a sitter for Levi. Taylor was awesome. She sent us pics showing what he was up to each day. We will definitely be telling our friends about Taylor and Rover.com - this is the way to go rather than stressing your pet out taking them to the kennel. Taylor was GREAT!!!!! Thanks so much!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,375 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maplewood. 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 Maplewood 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 Maplewood 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 Maplewood 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.
