“I was very pleased with Jill! It is obvious that she really cares about the animals. I loved that she took time at the introduction meeting to connect with the cats. She made sure I felt comfortable leaving them in her care and that she would follow instructions. Her pictures of my kitties made me laugh and made me feel less anxious about leaving them. I adored her! I highly recommend Jill! Susan N”
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!
“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.”
“Thank you, Heather, for once again taking such wonderful care of Tigger, Mac and Juneau. Your drop-ins are spot on. Great communication and reliable. I never have to worry. You’re the best!!”
“Jessica is amazing with my boys! They adore her and she’s loving and plays with them while keeping them safe! She’s always on time very respectful and highly communicative. I would trust her for walks, and both short and long-term visits”
“Monika was wonderful to work with, and our kitty, Macho, seemed to really love her! We're so grateful she was there to give him attention and ensure he had everything he needed while we were away.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”
“Carolyn was a godsend for us! Last minute we needed someone to come let our three dogs out to go potty! Carolyn was super flexible with her time and went out of her way to play with our furbabies, gave them treats and even got us some wee pads to help us with potty training our new puppy! We are super lucky she was available and will 100% book her repeatedly!”
“Erin has been a huge blessing for us and our dog! She has always arrived right on time and has taken the time and patience to convince our older, anxious golden doodle to be friends. We are always nervous leaving our spoiled, attention seeking girl home alone but knowing Erin is stopping in for visits to play or have a potty break makes us feel more comfortable and relaxed knowing she's in good hands!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and have had dogs and a cat of my (our) own for nearly 12 years. I have also fostered dogs and cats for the past decade (~30 animals), and am comfortable with many types of animal personalities, including reactivity, shyness, and anxiety. I will meet your pet where they’re at, and let them lead our interactions. Currently have 2 senior dogs and am comfortable with medication administration. I work hybrid and am flexible with my schedule. I work from home generally M/W/F and am generally much more flexible those days. I am in the office Tues/Thurs but generally only gone up to 6 hours at a time. Much of my work is event based, so there are also times evenings/weekends I will need to be gone, but generally 3-4 hours. In general 6 hours would be the max time between potty breaks, etc. I am currently only available to sit in your home or for drop in visits (we have a full house with our fosters). I will treat your home as a guest in it; I’m tidy and will clean up after me and your pets! What is helpful for me to know is what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any favorite or important parts to their routine, and ways they like to get stimulation (walk, play, puzzles). Where do they sleep? As much information as you can tell me about your pet is better so I can keep things as normal for them as possible!
“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!”
About: I use to walk dogs for a part time job when I was younger. Have always had one or more dogs in my house hold. Also use to work at a pet store that was very into teaching about dogs health and fitness. I currently work full time but need more fun in my life. Dogs have always been there for me in my life and make my day better and more relaxing. I am great with keeping your pet safe from others on walks on roads. I know dogs take time to warm up to some people and have the patience to work with them to make them feel safe and trust me.
“Angela was great! She is very experienced and very comfortable with any and all instructions I gave! She took great care of my cats, and I never worried about them while I was gone!”
About: I’d love to walk your dog! I grew up with dogs and would love to get one for my family once my young children are a bit older… until then, I would absolutely love to spend time helping take care of your dog! I’m currently working part time remotely so have a flexible schedule to walk your dog anytime during the day when my kids are in summer programs/school! I’m a mom of two young kids and work at an education non-profit. I’m responsible and friendly and would love to spend time with your dog!
“Christina has been such a lifesaver for me! Brought home a puppy in June and had to go back to school in August and pup wasnt able to hold it for 8 hours yet! Christina came over multiple days a week to play with her and take her out while I was working! It was nice to not have to worry about the pup while I was at work!”
“Kaiden was great with Mylo. He came on short notice, sent pictures and was extremely responsive which we appreciate! Will definitely use again and refer to friends/family.”

Heather is an absolute gem to work with. 💜Her energy is so warm and inviting, I knew right away she was the sitter for my cat. She bring a calming, soothing presence that I know her animal, and human, friends appreciate! Thank you so, so much, Heather! ~Carrissa, Tom, Sage
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.
This was the 3rd time Carolyn cared for my cats while I was away, and she continued to be great. I especially appreciate the persistence through some access issues (my fault). I always get great notes and tons of photos... Thank you Carolyn, for letting me travel knowing my babies are safe.
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!
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,715 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 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.
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.
