About: I have cared for pets throughout my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ducks, and cockatiels. While I am allergic to cats, I love them and keep cat food available for the neighborhood strays. I have raised dogs from puppies to seniors and am comfortable meeting your pet at whatever stage of life they are in. I will provide you with updates on how your pet is doing at least once a day, including a photo and a message. Of course, you are also welcome to check in at any time. Please rest assured, your pet will be well taken care of and living their best life. I work in marketing for the pet industry, which enables me to work from home and maintain a flexible schedule. I am a morning person, so taking a walk in the morning is often more enjoyable for me than for the dogs. I strive to be attentive to the well-being of pets both inside and outside, focusing on their nutrition, training, socialization, and overall care. I have two 10-lb Goldendoodles, Pepita and Miso, who are very social and have a nurturing yet playful spirit. We prefer to care for one dog at a time, as we believe this provides a better experience for both the pet and the owner. Our goal is to prioritize the best interests of your pet, recognizing that each pet has unique needs and requires individual attention and care while their loved ones are away.

About: As a graduate student in social work, patience, communication, and building trust are values I practice every day. I bring that same calm, dependable approach to pet care by respecting each pet’s routine, paying attention to the little details, and making sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and complete peace of mind. I am currently completing my graduate practicum during weekday mornings, which gives me flexibility in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends for pet care. I prioritize keeping a reliable schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets thrive when they’re able to stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to provide care that’s consistent, calm, and tailored to their individual needs. Whether that means following a feeding schedule, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications (if needed and instructed), going for walks, or spending quality time playing and keeping them company, I am happy to adapt to what makes your pet feel most comfortable.

About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I have been house/pet sitting for the last few years on my own but I'm trying to expand my client base and meet new furry friends! I also have lots of experience with cats! A large portion of my clients prefer overnight stays but I am willing to do drop ins as well. I'd love to hear from you soon. I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!

About: My pet care experience includes not only caretaking for my own dog and family friend's dogs over the years, but I also worked for a pet boarding and daycare facility for 2 years. This exposed me to knowledge about dog behavior, caretaking, playtime, and important details like specific needs of medicine and feeding methods for each dog in the facility of roughly 130 dogs. Additionally, my pup Bella has had a lifelong experience of many diagnoses such as mega-esophagus, acid reflux, and environmental allergies which have all required very specific feedings and medicines for her. Safe to say after all of these formative experiences, I'm very attentive to all specifics that your pup needs while you are away and happy to do it!! I'm a lifelong animal lover and I love to treat my pup like royalty (as shown in my pictures), because she is one of the most important things in my life. I will treat your pup with the same love and care as my own because they deserve it <3 I'm currently job searching for an additional part-time role to do with Rover, so my availability is pretty open right now for dog walking, dog sitting, etc. Before I do any caretaking for your dog, I do require meeting the dog(s) with the owner present on a separate day to make sure the dog is familiar and comfortable with me before I come over to take care of the dog(s). When I come over to your house to either walk or dog sit, I will first make sure I read all instructions carefully for what the pet owner wants & needs for their pup. Then, I will walk/dog-sit with them and send you some pictures of your pet to give you updates on how they are doing. I love it when people send me pictures/updates while I'm away from my dog, because it makes me feel secure knowing they are living well. Please let me know if you would like this or prefer not. Lastly, I will give them some pets and cuddles as desired and some play time so they have some enrichment time while I'm over. And of course, will make sure to lock up the house as instructed by the pet owner.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, especially Boston Terriers, so being around them has always been second nature to me. While I was in college, I lived with an Aussiedoodle, which gave me experience caring for a high-energy, intelligent breed as well. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and can guarantee they'll get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while they're in my care. My current dog has Crohn's disease and struggles with anxiety, so I'm very comfortable caring for dogs with special needs, administering extra attention, and following specific care routines. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly dog sit and house sit for family and friends. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a dog of my own, so I'm already used to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for pets every day. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to stay at your home full-time if needed and let your dog out frequently for potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I understand that every pet has a different routine, and I'm committed to following their schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. For overnight stays, I focus on keeping your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stay in your home so your pet can remain in a familiar environment, which helps them feel comfortable while you're away. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take them outside for potty breaks as often as needed, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. If your pet has any medications or special care instructions, I'm happy to follow those as well. I'll also keep your home clean and respect it as if it were my own, and I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Before I became an expert at keeping my 9-year-old on a schedule, I was already mastering the art of happy pets! As a lifelong animal lover and mom to a pet-obsessed kiddo, I know that routines, patience, and lots of love go a long way. I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years and have also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for just as long. I have an awesome and chill Tuxedo cat named Mittens who tends to get along which pretty much any other animal. Whether your pet loves zoomies, snuggles, bird watching from the window, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, belly rubs (if they’re into that!), and all the care they deserve. Every pet has their own personality, quirks, and preferences, and I love getting to know what makes them feel safe and happy. If your furry family member has any special accommodations, routines, or favorite toys, just let me know! My goal is to make sure they have a fun, comfortable stay while giving you complete peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work part-time, which allows me to have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets. I love creating a calm routine with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding Friday through Sunday and am happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s needs and schedule are accommodated. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while they’re with me. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a calm, clean, smoke-free, two-bedroom apartment where pets can relax and feel at home. I do my best to create a low-stress environment and will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I live near a park, so dogs staying with us can enjoy regular walks, fresh air, and plenty of opportunities to explore. For cats, I’ll make sure they have a peaceful environment, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention at their own pace. I’m also a mom to a wonderful 9-year-old who absolutely loves animals. She’s gentle, respectful, and never gets tired of playing or giving extra love to pets who enjoy human interaction. Of course, if your pet prefers quiet time or their own space, we always respect their boundaries and personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’m happy to accommodate their unique needs to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay.

About: Hi, I'm Gracie! I do home remodeling & carpentry things for work, but my number one passion is in taking care of animals. I also travel pretty frequently and because of that, I’ve found this platform invaluable. So aside from wanting to meet and hang with your cute pets, I’d love to return the favor and help out fellow pet owners! Especially in those dire, last minute boarding/sitting situations. (been there 😅) Growing up, my family fostered retired racing greyhounds so I’m very comfortable around sensitive and unsure dogs. For several years I worked and lived on various animal farms- all of which had/bred livestock guardian dogs that I worked very closely with. I am experienced in senior care and administering medications (including injections) to all sorts of animals. I work for myself doing residential carpentry and remodeling, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m usually available for last minute bookings. I also never work very far from home. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s what they’re used to at home, and I have several dog beds set up around the house too. I also have a large crate available if your dog needs a quiet, secure space to settle into. I keep a close eye on dogs at all times, dog-proof the areas we’re in, and make sure fresh water is always available.

About: Do you live near University City or the surrounding areas of St Louis, MO and need a trustworthy, puppy loving person to drop in on your pups or take them out for potty and a walk while you are away at work or on vacation? Let me help. I have many years of experience with various breeds of dogs. I’ve also done basic training with all of my dogs and often care for my disabled grand-Frenchie. I am currently working part time, typically working from 11am-3pm weekdays. My availability would usually be between 6am-10:30am then 3:30pm-7:30pm on weekdays with much more flexible times on the weekends. Feedings and or meds would be administered upon arrival on drop-ins. Playtime and/ or walks are always followed by water and plenty of cuddles.

About: Dogs have been in my life since I could crawl. I've raised and trained bigger dogs since I was in grade school. I currently have a sweet 11 year old mixed breed named Luci. She gets walks, car rides, and trips to the lake whenever we can make it. Taking care of dogs has always brought me immense joy. I would love a chance to care for your furry friends too! I'm flexible with scheduling walks and drop-ins. Mornings are more complicated but I can make them work if needed. Please feel free to reach out to discuss what you and your pups need! Whether your pup has a favorite route, likes to follow their nose to new spots, or wants to wander to nearby parks, I'm here for it!

Katie is amazing with my pets! She takes time to play with them every time she visits. I have a senior diabetic dog, and she works her magic and gets him to eat every time. She gives him his insulin shot, and I know he’s in great hands. It’s hard for me to find people who my senior dog will warm up to, and let them give him his injection. She does an amazing job taking care of him. She gives my dogs so much love and I appreciate her communication and report cards and photos! I can’t recommend her enough!

This was my first time using Rover to have someone check on my dogs. I was a bit nervous of how it would go since my dogs get scared easily of new people, but Karen was very patient and attentive with them and overall did a fantastic job! She provided updates during each of the check ins and bonded with the dogs as the days went by. I would 100% recommend Karen as a dog sitter and if I need someone to watch my dogs again using Rover, Karen would be my first choice!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Maplewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Maplewood on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,695 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
