“She was amazing with Beans. Love the daily pictures. Super thoughtful, brought in some packages that were left out in the rain for us. Very happy with the service.”
“Let my boy Odie out and fed him when I had some early and long mornings at work! Great communication and able to accommodate an early drop in time. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Paula was exceptional with our cats! She followed our instructions and was very responsive. She has extended experience caring for special needs kitties and has done an absolute incredible job with our ckd Salem who rewuired a lot of care. All the cats felt comfortable around her and always came out to greet and eat (even the shy ones). We are very grateful for Paula!”
“Celia has done an amazing job watching my cat Thelma when I am out of town. She always leaves prompt updates, responds quickly to any notes or questions and takes the best pictures of Thelma which are always a treat to see when I am away.”
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 been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.
About: I have had dogs and cats always! I would love to care for yours too! I have experience with puppies to seniors to care for as family! I also have given medication and shots to my fur babies I am flexible with my schedule and can cater to your pets needs while your away to make them as confortable as possible. Would love to pamper your fur babies! I would love to come to your house where they are most at home and comfortable I will give them love and attention while your away!
“Dale was great with my son and with his rats! He sent us pictures at every visit showing that they were fed and happy. I will absolutely use him again and recommend to others. Thanks Dale!”
“Melissa did great with my energetic and anxious dog. She was thoughtful and responsive prior to dropping in on him. Loved getting the updates. Definitely recommend and hope to use her services again.”
“Annie did a great job checking in on our two cats over a weekend we were going to be gone for long periods of time. I appreciate knowing they got some attention and care while we were away.”
“This was our second time having Rylan sit for our 2 cats. This was a much longer trip, and we knew our kitties were in great hands and everything would be taken care of. Loved the updates and the photos!”
“Katy is the best! Our boys love her and we have peace of mind traveling knowing the cats are in great hands. We’ve used Katy for a few years now and will continue to highly recommend her!”
“Madeline was great! I had a last minute need for a drop in visit and Madeline was very quick at responding and accommodating. My cat does not like other people but he came out of hiding when Madeline visited which speaks volumes!”
“Andrea is great! We were gone overnight and she made sure to accommodate our dogs' schedules, as well as tailoring the visit to fit their needs. We received visit updates complete with walk routes--I would highly recommend her!”
“Wonderful communicator! I’m not sure I gave the best instructions yet Cooper followed to a T. Great service, definitely will use again. The narrative summary and photos were an awesome, unexpected bonus! 10/10 :)”
About: I love animals, I'm the type of person who gets distracted by the dog on the street and I want to go to your house if you have a cat. For those of you from the 90's, if I could be like Ace Ventura the pet detective and fill my whole home and life with animals, I would. Clearly this isn’t the 90's and my apartment wouldn’t be able to house all the animals happily and comfortably of my dreams, so there comes rover, my opportunity to spend the time I want with all the animals of my dreams. Jokes aside , I have a background in social services and caring for others is in my nature, I've decided to go back to school in my mid 30's. I’m focusing on school so I’m no longer working my full time job, so I have plenty of time on my hands to provide lots of love and care to your loved ones. I grew up with 4 cats and as adult I have always had cats. I haven’t had the opportunity to have dogs of my own due to living in apartments or the preferences of my very particular feline friends, but I absolutely adore dogs and all animals. I grew up with family members and friends with dogs and I often will volunteer to pick my grandparents dog up for walks, just because. I have ample experience with temperamental cats, see my profile for paisley, my beauty queen of a kitty. I also have a lot of experience with medical needs and chronic illnesses for kitties, per my two kitties at home, see Jinx as well. I also have experience administering medications etc to other peoples pets as well. Friends and family ask me to watch their pets because they know how attentive and loving I am with animals. Animals are my passion. Fun Fact:I’m known to help rescue homeless kitties or wild life, keep dog treats and cat food in my trunk for kitties in need or dogs who need a snack <3. I love small critters to large live stock. You could say I’m a fan of the animal kingdom, no doubt. My availability is quite flexible at this time, per the fact that I'm going back to school ad not working full time. I’m happy to work with pet owners to accommodate their scheduling needs, as I have a lot of open time in in my schedule. I'm currently not taking sleep overs but potentially would be open to after a relationship is established and it’s a right fit for both parties. but I'm happy to check on your pet before bed and in the morning. While at your home, I'm a guest. I will respect your home via your guidance, directions and handle your home and animal loved ones with attentive care and discretion.
“Liz is a dream pet sitter and we’d hire her again in a heartbeat. She’s an excellent communicator, asks thoughtful questions and did a great job looking after our cats and home while we were away for an extended holiday.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Maplewood is $20

Victoria has been absolutely wonderful with my two large dogs! I was a little worried about one of them warming up to Victoria because she (the dog) can be pretty standoffish and VERY weary of strangers. By the end of the week, though, my girl was actually whining when she had to wait her turn! I don't know if she was crying for Victoria or because she wanted her turn to go outside, but honestly, I don't even care which one it was. I'm just so happy she was excited enough to whine about it! ❤️ Victoria is always on time, pays attention to the little things like making sure I know when she is arriving and when she's leaving, and follows the requests I've made. I couldn't take care of my dogs myself after having surgery on my ankle. The surgery itself was stressful, but knowing she was there to take such good care of my dogs took a huge weight off my mind. It allows me to focus on my recovery without feeling like I need to worry about my fur babies. I'm so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog walker!
Madeline is amazing! She is thorough, very communicative, and flexible. She has watched my cats 2 times now and I’ve always felt complete comfort while I’m away knowing she’s the one to look after them. She will always be my go-to sitter! Plus, my cats love her (even the one that is normally shy!) so win win :)
Carolyn does such a great job & enjoys the walks as much as the dogs do. Carolyn is sweet, kind & loves animals. Reid’s sees that she is coming & goes nuts as he knows he is going for a walk. Our coonhound Emma was the same way. She loved it when Carolyn would come to walk her. You can not go wrong with Carolyn.
Laura came over to sit with and feed our dogs this afternoon as we were out of town for most of the day. She had been here recently, so they were very comfortable with her and she knew what to feed them and where to find their food and medications. It made our day easier because we had complete confidence that she would spend time with them, make sure they ate, had water and got out to relieve themselves. She also sat with them for a while and played fetch with our younger dog.
They looked to have been well fed and happy when I got home. I always appreciate your willingness to communicate essentials so that important detail doesn’t get missed and that you were not put off by the snow. 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.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Maplewood is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,681 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 .
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 .
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.
