“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lisa did a great job with our shy kitty and even thought of things I didn't think to ask her (like leaving a kitchen lamp and the radio on for the cat, since we were getting home after dark from our trip). She left everything in great shape, ran the dishwasher etc., sent us pics of our kitty and was responsive to messages. Thanks Lisa!!”
“Penny was very easy to work with and my dog was very relaxed around her. She had no problem doing anything I asked was very sensitive to my dog’s needs.”
“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!”
“Christine did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and house. We were greatful she was willing to house/dog sit for us when we had a last minute family emergency pop up.”
“Heather does a fantastic job! Your search for a trusted pet sitter has been found! I would highly recommend booking any pet service with her because she truly cares about pets. This is our 2nd time booking inhome pet sitting with Heather. She stayed in our home while we were on vacation for a week and took care of our 1 year old Pomerianian, Moki. Everyday we received an update and picture card of Moki. You could tell Moki was so happy and contenant in every picture. It was nice receiving frequent updates to ensure Moki was doing good instead of just wondering. Moki was so happy staying in her home, sticking to her routine, and having a great friend keeping her company. Everyday Heather took Moki for walks in the neighborhood or longer walks, which was such a treat for Moki. We felt like we could truly relax on vaction knowing our pet was in great hands. We returned to a well cleaned home and a very happy dog. When we returned home everything looked fantastic, even better then we left it. Heather is very respective with privacy, and will always reach out to you before making any assumptions such as posting pictures of your pet, etc. I guarantee you will have great experience booking with her and we look forward to rebooking with her in the near future!”
“Pagie took wonderful care of our pets while we were out of town. We have one dog who is very shy and timed with strangers, Paige did a wonderful job with her and quickly made progress with her. I knew she felt comfort when I was getting updates about their walks, Lilly never wants to go on a walk with a new sitter until at least 3-4 days in, she's definitely a dog whisperer. She also handled our rambunctious labradoodle with ease and gave lots of love to our kitty who is usually hiding away from the dogs’ craziness. Paige provided daily updates and pics which put this dog mom at ease. We came home to a clean home and happy pets, what more could we ask for! We’ll definitely be booking with Paige again.”
“Rachel was awesome! She was great at communicating and kept me well updated while I was away. My pup was happy and content in her care. She was super flexible with my last minute scheduling. She did an awesome job.”
“Paige was such a gift! We loved all the photo updates while we were away and it's clear Paige is quite the cat whisperer. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girls 🥰”
“Keely was great with our pups and very accommodating. Keely was easy to communicated with and kept us updated with pictures each day we were gone. Additionally, Keely left our house very tidy when she left. We hope to have Keely stay with our dogs again in the future.”
“Leann was great! Since Cal heart murmur has advanced it was difficult to leave him. Leann sent a lot of pictures which made me feel a lot better and I knew he was in great hands with Leann. If we need a another dog sitter Leann will be our go to sitter.”
“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.”
“Jamie and Brooke were absolutely incredible and the best house / pet sitters we have ever had!! They even went above and beyond and did the laundry for our towels!! They were perfect in every way! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous to say the least. But Jamie and Brooke eased our concerns immediately. And after difficulty with our flights and a family emergency, they stepped up and provided last-minute house / pet sitting for our pups, Frankie and Diego. Frankie and Diego absolutely loved Jamie and Brooke! They were so sweet and brought them pup-cups from Starbucks, and filled their kongs with peanut butter (their favorite). They gave us updates every time they were coming to and leaving the house, and let us know when they would be returning. We received daily pictures and videos that absolutely brightened our day. Jamie and Brooke are wonderful in every way, and I truly cannot recommend them enough to take care of your loved fur babies. Thank you again Jamie and Brooke! Frankie and Diego look forward for seeing you next time!!”
About: When my friends go on vacation, I am the first person they call to petsit! Animals warm up to my calm demeaner quickly, and I've been told by pet owners that their shy animals have never been so friendly to a new person so fast before. I have experience caring for cats & kittens, dogs, and birds. I am very patient and gentle with animals, seeking to understand their physical and vocal cues to know what they need. I am also an expert at playing fetch and tug of war with dogs, and my expertise with cat feather wands means the cat usually gets tired before I do. I love walking, so it's a bonus if your pup wants to come with! I am a graduate student at St. Thomas with a part-time tutoring job during the school year, so I have plenty of gaps in my schedule to care for your pet. This means that I can spend time during the day, night, and weekend with your pet, including returning home for potty or play breaks in between tutoring or classes, depending on the needs of your pet. I am also available to stay overnight with your pet, so long as they don't mind helping me with my homework! I am vigilant and aware while pet sitting, making sure I know where your pet is and never leaving any doors, gates, or windows open. For example, my friend lives in an apartment and has two kittens who like to escape into the hallway, so I also create a barrier when I open his front door to ensure they stay inside. His windows also don't have screens, so I make sure they are always shut and locked up tight. I love interacting with and talking with animals when they are around, so even if I am busy working on my own projects, I'll take frequent breaks to catch up with your pets and give them attention.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Maplewood is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maplewood
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.
This was Leann’s second time sitting for our 2 dogs in our home and she did such a fantastic job! We have such peace of mind and no stress when traveling thanks to her! She does a great job caring for the dogs, often even teaching them new commands, leaves the house spotless and even watered plants, brought garbage to the curb and picked up dog poop. She’s the best!
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!
Madeline provided the absolute BEST care over the weekend to our two dogs Oakley and Paisley. Oakley is especially energetic and not always easy to deal with but she quickly gained his trust and was so good with him! She showed so much love and kindness to them. She took care of our house and spent a lot of time with our pups so that we could have a fun weekend out and we didn’t have to worry about them for one second! She went above and beyond helping to keep the yard/house clean and even drew us an absolutely stunning piece of artwork of our dogs! We are so thankful to her and would have her watch them anytime. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone! :)
We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver to our 2 little dogs. Judy was absolutely wonderful with them and gave them the best attention and care while we were gone that week. Excellent communication throughout with pictures and updates and gave them so much love and attention. Took great care of our home and left things very clean when we returned. We will definitely contact Judy in the future to care for our little girls. So very grateful!
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.
Rachel was wonderful! I could tell by the way my dog Ole reacted when she came back a couple of days later to retrieve something she'd forgotten. He went right up to her for cuddling. : ). Rachel sent updates and pictures of Ole and Panda and contacted me with questions. I will definitely book Rachel again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maplewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maplewood on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,439 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.
