“You took the best care of my cat! Even went above and beyond bringing in my mail. I appreciate the photos of your drop ins and the love you gave to Cora while I was away.”
“Beth came 3 times a day to check on Katrina. She would feed her once a day, but more importantly, she sat with her and let her know she was not abandoned. Beth kept me advised what Katrina did and how she responded.”
“Mercedes did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. She was able to accommodate the times we needed her to come to the house, which was so helpful. I would book with Mercedes again!”
About: - 4 years experience of having cats and taking care of a blind cat. Experience with administering oral medication to cats. - Used to working in an animal shelter, dealt with nervous dogs with patience and love. Currently working in a dog daycare as a dog trainer trainee. - Familiar with leash walking (including double leash, slip/P leash, gentle elader), basic obedience, and safe dog socialization. - Detail-oriented, follow care indtruction, strong communication with pet owners (if needed). Monday - Friday availability: Before 9am and after 6pm Weekend: Available all day. Availability may occasionally vary due to personal plans. Please message me to confirm specific dates and times. I prioritize pets' safety at all times. When walking dogs, I always secure leashes/harnesses and keep them away from potential hazards such as traffic, other animals, or other (potential) harmful objects. For cats, I'll make sure they are in a safe, enclosed space during visit, and I handle them gently to reduce stress. I observe all pets' behavior and status closely to ensure they are comfortable and unstressed. I'll follow care instructions for feeding, playing, and daily routines. I keep owners updated with pictures and messages, so they know how their pets are doing.
“Cecily is amazing. She has watched my dog multiple times and ive never had any issues. Communication is great and my dog seems to do well with her. I always use Cecily anytime its needed and will continue to do so. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your dog she is the one.”
“Valerie exceeded our expectations caring for our 13 year old dachshund. She spent ample time with him outside and ensured he ate. We enjoyed the updates with pictures which gave us confidence he was in good hands. We highly recommend Valerie and will request she care for our dog the next time we go out of town.”
About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Brownsburg resident, lifelong animal lover, and experienced caregiver. My background includes years of experience caring for animals through 4-H, including dogs, horses, and livestock, as well as caring for pets in home settings. I’ve worked with animals of different sizes, temperaments, and care needs, and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. My experience extends beyond household pets and includes dogs, horses, and livestock through years of 4-H participation and hands-on animal care. Professionally, I’ve worked in education, healthcare leadership, and caregiving roles where trust, responsibility, communication, and safety were essential every day. Those same qualities guide how I care for your pets and your home. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is different—and every pet is family. When you book with me, you can expect reliable communication, regular photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are being cared for by someone with both animal-care and professional caregiving experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits, feedings, playtime, litter box care, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and provide regular updates so owners know their cats are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences provided by the owner. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their family is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. While I primarily care for pets in their own homes, I may consider select services in my home on a case-by-case basis. My focus is always on providing a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience for each pet.
About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
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!
“Noelani was super helpful with a last-minute booking! The flexibility and communication was so helpful and I am super grateful! Storm loved the time she got to spend with Noelani while we were away. Thank you for keeping her safe and comfortable and fed!”

About: I don’t just love dogs because they’re cute. I love them for who they are. Their loyalty, their innocence, their unconditional love, and the way they can make you feel loved without ever saying a single word. They don’t care what you look like, how much money you have, what kind of day you’ve had, or whether you have your life together. They just want to love you, be near you, and be part of your world. 🐾 I’m currently working full time, free during the week to be around dogs, care for them & be their extra love. I love all dogs ♥️ Fenced in yard, I have 2 dogs whom I love everyday of my life. They’ll always be a part of my life, everyday! My life is just about dogs
About: I’m the go to dog sitter in my social circle! As a designated dog-mom, I’m always trying to give each dog the best care I can from different enrichment activities like lick mats or puzzle toys to long 3-5 mile walks through the neighborhood or through a park. I do have my own dog, who loves to play but will also enjoy quiet naps with any visiting dogs. I am lucky enough to work from home so pets are not left alone for the work day. They would have access to a fully fenced yard for outside time several times a day. When a pet is in my care, I do my best to keep to their routine while keeping mine and my own dog’s routine. While with me, they’d have opportunities to not only play with my dog, but to run outside in a fully 6’ fenced in yard, different enrichment activities and to work on any training their pet parents would like us to work on.
About: I’ve taken care of friends & families pets. From a cat or a dog to a bearded dragon! From a 15 lb pup to a Great dane! Even puppies to a 16 year old dog!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,485 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Maplewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maplewood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
