About: My family has had a dog that I’ve loved to take care of and spend time with since I was 8. Also I would take care of my family’s dog since friends’ dog whenever they were out of town as a kid. I’m currently back for the summer from college so I have lots of time to take care of pets both overnight and during the day. I won’t be able to take pets into my home but can go to the owners house night or day. If for any reason you don’t have a leash or dog treats or something along those lines I’ll be able to bring it.

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

About: I love dogs and have a fenced in yard for them to play. 🐾 I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and recognize signs of illness or distress. I have experience with potty training, medication administration, and reinforcing basic training commands. I currently work three days per week and have plenty of time to spend with your pups.

About: I have worked in professional settings such as pet hospitals and volunteered at humane societies and wildlife centers for over 10 years. I have grown up taking care of mine and other families pets since I was a child on my farm and have lots of knowledge and hands on experience through studying and practicing as a CVT. I have a love for animals and is what I am pursuing as a career. I have been working as a CVT for a year and I work full time (4, 10hr days) however you can always ask and I’ll try to make time! Even with this busy schedule I could take care of your friend around my work! As of this moment my apartment would need me to pay each month to have a pet so I can’t house your pet, however I am perfectly capable of taking you pet on a car ride or walk to anywhere in the area (a park, lake, etc) as well as I am able to spend my time at your residence and walking them around the area. I am able to feed, play with, exercise, lightly train, as well as medicate as you would like. If wanted I can also do nail trims for an extra cost! I can provide your furry friend with a loving, playful, and enriching experience!

About: I've had 2 dogs but am unable to have an animal of my own right now. I am a go-to sitter of friends and family for caring for their dogs and/or cats when they go out of town. I love taking care of animals! I'm currently working a hybrid schedule of Monday and Friday's at home. I am available to watch dogs/cats the whole week, but need to be in the office Tuesday - Thursday. So, if your dog can go a little over 8 hours between potty breaks this is no issue. I do work fairly close to home, so could come home on lunch break for a quick bathroom break. I live in a townhouse with a small, mulched front yard. I have a long leash that I can let dogs out on for quick bathroom breaks (I will be outside with them to supervise) . The neighborhood has sidewalks throughout and low traffic to take dogs on longer walks. Neighborhood is very dog friendly. Applewood Nature Reserve is also a walkable distance from my house (dogs should have tick prevention if you want them walked in the park). Longer walks would be up to 2 miles depending on your pets ability.

About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.

About: I grew up around dogs on a ranch and have cared for them throughout every stage of their lives, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. That experience taught me that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medication, preparing special diets, and providing extra care for senior dogs or those with special needs. My goal is to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I also believe every dog deserves quality time, not just a quick visit. Whether your dog enjoys playing with toys, going for a walk, getting lots of pets, or simply having someone sit with them for companionship, I'll make sure they receive the attention and affection they need. With puppies, I'm happy to reinforce basic routines and good manners that you're already working on, such as waiting politely at mealtime, practicing calm greetings, and encouraging positive everyday behaviors. While I'm not a professional trainer, I'm always happy to help maintain the routines you've established. Every dog is unique, and I care for each one with patience, kindness, and respect. I'll also send photo updates so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy a few happy moments while you're away. Your pet's comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets throughout the day. This flexibility means I can spend quality time with each pet, keep up with their routines, and make sure they receive the attention, playtime, and care they need while their family is away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I prioritize following each owner's instructions and keeping their normal routine as comfortable as possible. I treat every client's home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I understand that inviting someone into your home is a big responsibility, and I take that trust seriously. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and maintain your pet's normal routine as much as possible. I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they need. My goal is to leave your home clean, cared for, and your pets happy and comfortable. I believe great pet care means taking care of both the animal and the space they call home.

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats. Experience with both. We lost our dog in March so our house is feeling empty right now and would love to have your fur baby over to keep us company. I am also available for walks or drop ins in the evenings and weekends. I currently work full time, usually 8-4. I can come home on my lunch break for potty breaks. I only work 7 mins from home. I do have a 7 year old daughter that is in the home as well. We have a fenced in yard that is great for dogs to run. We also have a lot of windows and bird feeders for cats to sit and watch the birdies.

This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!

Rylan is an exceptional pet sitter. We have two very skittish cats, one of whom is nearly feral, and she took gentle care not to spook them. She also handled unique litter box issues without batting an eye. She is intelligent, anticipates needs, and highly responsible. I wish I could give her ten stars in this app!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. Nothing would make me happier than a chance to get to know your precious pets and care for them like they’re my own! I currently work full time but with flexible hours. Typically, mornings and evening visits are best during the week but my weekends are wide open. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood a short walk from a large park with many trails and nature to explore. My place is full of sunshine that pets can bask in.

We’ve used Jessica several times, and she’s been fantastic every time. She’s consistently available on short notice, always punctual, and very polite. Even though we’re not home during her visits, our hairless cat, who is extremely selective about people,comes out to see her and happily lets Jessica pet her. That alone says a lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I am sure they loved your stories and I am grateful that someone they know and trust attends to them. Maturity and experience mean everything.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Maplewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Maplewood on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,510 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Maplewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Maplewood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Maplewood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maplewood. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
