“Judi was great with our nervous pup who hates to be alone. She was a very conscientious houseguest and communicated with us regularly about how our girl was doing. We're really happy we booked her.”
“Camille and Jordan were fantastic with our house and animals (elderly dog, cat and rabbit)! They were prompt in responding and making sure they had the information needed to take the best care of our animals. They were on time and communicated with us as needed. Our animals are our babies and they seemed perfectly comfortable and happy with Camille and Jordan so we will definitely be booking again!”
“We completely trust Kaiden to stay at our house and watch our dog. He is conscientious, thorough and a great companion to animals. This was the second time we have used him, and we have him booked for one more stay. He is one of the best out there!!”
“Rachel did a great job housesitting for our two kitties who are a bit demanding. She took care of our mail, trash, packages, and other people coming and going from our home while we were gone. Highly recommend hiring her if you want peace of mind while on your vacation. Will use her again for upcoming trips.”
“Naomi was great with our high-energy hound. Stevie was happy and content when I got home and the house was spotless. This was our second time having her here and I’m sure we’ll have her back again in the future.”
“Kirsten was fantastic with Maple while we were gone for the week. She sent lots of pictures and I could tell Maple was happy when we returned. Kirsten also was incredibly helpful housesitting with water plants and feeding the fish. She also helped us navigate the AC going out during a heatwave and made sure Maple didn't get too hot.”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter. She was a great communicator, the dogs felt loved and taken care of. The house was left in great condition. She is our “go to” for pet sitting going forward for our frenchie and two Bostons.”
“Penny was absolutely wonderful with our Bailey boy. He absolutely adored her and has been looking for her since we got home! She was very communicative and cared for him as if he was one of her own. 100% recommend her for any of your needs. We are ready to plan our next vacation knowing we have Penny to care for him ❤️”
“We needed a last minute sitter to fly south for a funeral and was so glad Keely had availability! She took time to swing by last minute and meet our fearful girl plus our other two crazies. House was exactly how we left it and all 3 dogs seemed happy and well cared for in our absence.”
“Heather was took outstanding care of our senior, tripawd dog for 3 days & 2 nights. Penny was happy & healthy when we returned. She also was an impeccable house guest….everything was clean and you’d never have known you’d had someone in your home. Loved the photos & updates as well. Great sitter!”
“Jamie did a fantastic job watching Rosie! She was very communicative with me, sending regular updates, which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for in home sitting!”
“Emma did an AWESOME job! She kept us updated with pictures and our cat who never trusts anyone was totally content and happy with Emma and hung out with her all weekend. One of our dogs has to take medication and Emma was very professional and had all the medical stuff under control. Emma did a fantastic job and we will absolutely ask her to watch our two dogs and cat again!”
“Christine was very good with our 2 dogs and cat. While staying in our home, she left it clean and cared for it as if it were her own. Definitely will call again.”
“Hailey is an incredible sitter. My cat was ill when I had to go out of town, and Hailey took amazing care of her and made sure she got her medication. Through no fault of Hailey’s, my cat had a medical emergency and had to be rushed to the vet. Hailey handled the situation perfectly, which is something I’m not sure I could have done. If you want someone who is caring, reliable, and able to handle themselves and your pet in a crisis, hire Hailey.”
“Leann was wonderful! She took great care of our 4 dogs for a week. This was our first time using Rover and it went perfectly. All our dogs were well taken care of, as well as, our home. Couldn’t be happier, would absolutely recommend Leann!”
“Bailey sat my furry monsters for an extended stay and it’s like I wasn’t even gone! I received frequent updates and check ins and she even took Badger to see his friends at the store next door.”
“Kristina did a fantastic job coming and staying with my dog. She sent multiple videos and kept me up to date throughout my trip. I would recommend her to anyone.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maplewood
This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous, but Madeline eased all of our worries! She was so fantastic with our dog - our dog loved her. We appreciated the photos and updates that Madeline sent. We will definitely be booking with Madeline again in the future!
We had such a great experience with our in-home pet sitter, Heather! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish and asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure she understood exactly how to care for both our home and Louie. It was clear that she genuinely wanted to keep his routine consistent and make sure he was comfortable while we were away. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond what we expected. We came home to a happy Louie and a well-cared-for home, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely trust her to care for Louie again!
Jamie did a fabulous job with our 2 goldens, cat and gekcos. 2 of our pets are older and needed more attention than normal, particularly our older golden who needed regular meds. She also stayed on top of watering the garden and plants in the heat. Left our house clean and did the laundry and trash! Very pleased.
I felt very confident leaving my home and two cats in Annie's care. My cats are in the process of being introduced, i.e. living separately, and Annie was dedicated to spending time with both and being mindful of the gates, separate feeding and meds, etc. It's no small feat! I booked Annie for two drop-ins prior to our trip so the cats could get acclimated to her and she could see how things work, and she was a clear communicator in getting that scheduled during already busy weeks. Annie provided lots of updates over our long weekend with pictures. In addition, I found my home just as tidy and clean as I left it. I feel very lucky to have booked Annie.
We had such a wonderful experience with Naomi! She took amazing care of our dog, Milo, while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. We received regular updates, which meant so much to us, and it was obvious that Milo was in great hands. She was truly a lifesaver, and we are so grateful for everything she did. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet. Thank you for taking such great care of Milo!
We are repeat customers of Sahtyn. She gives us great peace of mind and provides kind, reliable care to our older dog and cat. We appreciate her flexibility, patience, communication and experience. It makes all the difference to know our animals are in good hands when we can’t be at home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maplewood on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,412 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
