“Haley was exceptional. She is an A+ communicator who provided thorough updates and great pictures after every visit. She proactively asked what was necessary to keep our animals safe and gave each of them individualized care. It is clear she truly loved our pets, and they loved her in return. As a bonus, she kept a watchful eye on our house and left it well organized. Haley is a gem, and we will absolutely use her again. Thank you, Haley, for taking such wonderful care of our little ones!”
“Stephen has once again done a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away. We will continue to book him for all of our pet sitting needs!”
“Sarah was PHENOMENAL! My pup is easily frightened so I was worried about having someone come in to take him out for his daily breaks. She was very patient with him and gave me detailed updates throughout the day. I am so glad I chose her to take care of my baby while I was away. I will definitely using her services again very soon !”
“Caitlyn was the best!! She was such a great help when I had a day trip and had to leave my dog at home! She was very communicative, great with instructions, and amazing with updates! Highly recommend and would love to have her back next time I need a sitter:)”
“Katie was an amazing cat sitter! She took excellent care of our cat and made him feel loved and cared for while we were gone on our trip. I highly recommend Katie for all your pet sitting needs and we will definitely be rebooking Katie for our future pet sitting needs! Thank you, for taking such great care of our furry boy!”
“Anya was amazing with our 14 week puppy. She knew exactly how to help us stay consistent with potty training and teething. She was communicative and always on time. We will miss having her when she goes back to school!”
“Brytan is awesome - she has been great with Georgie and he loves her visits! She has been so so flexible with my evolving work schedule too! Will definitely continue to use her and recommend her for services to anyone who needs puppy pet care!”
“I highly recommend Anna for your in-home pet-sitting needs. It would be difficult to find someone more dedicated to her clients' pets' well-being and happiness, while also providing owners with peace of mind. Anna sends daily updates, asks thoughtful questions, and works hard to build a strong rapport with both pets and their owners.”
About: Coming from an animal loving family and already volunteering part time at the Humane Society, I just can’t get enough of walking dogs — especially big ones ! My family’s dog, a total mixed breed that we raised from a puppy, is a modest 80 lbs. Before we got him, I grew up with a border collie and a cattle dog mix, so I deal well with high energy breeds. I’m happy to take them on 2+ mile walks multiple times a day. I have always had dogs, so I have a lifetime of experience raising, training, and taking care of them. I currently work part-time as a French teacher, frequently online, so I have a lot of free time to spend with your pet. Plus, if I am staying long term at your house, my students will love to see your pet pop up on my Zoom video! I can adapt to whatever your pet needs. If you have a pet that just needs feeding and a potty break/litter box scooping, I can provide that. If your pet is a little needier and needs playtime, ear rubs, and someone’s lap to sit on, I’m also eager to provide. I understand that each animal is different.
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.
“Allison did a fantastic job taking care of my Cat when I was called away for a last minute trip. I was very nervous since this was my first time using a sitter but Allison made us very comfortable while we were away. Highly recommend her for any pets that need some love while your away”
About: I allow the doggie to decide on their day of course following what routine you have set for them. I will Vlog so you can see what a true doggie star they are! I'm energetic so we will hike, jog, walk and wag our way into a fun filled day. My days and weekends are very flexible. I have a massage/pet caregiver business in St.Louis, Missouri and Taos, New Mexico that only I manage! I've cared for Great Danes to Pugs from puppies in potty training to females in heat. I treat them as they are my own and always adhering to their routine. Booking me "Animal Planet", belly rubs, and fun will be in your future (wiggle wag wiggle wag wink) Thank you, dawn I currently work part time as a massage therapist with a very flexible schedule. I will try and arrange potty breaks close to what your pet is used to but there will be days I can be gone up to fours hours. I treat your pet as you do and keep them on their routine. I always have a pet on a lead unless they’re in their own backyard. I usually have them stay clear of other animals and children since they’re are extra anxiety’s due to owner/parents being away. Your fur babies happiness and safety is first priority.
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.
“Reba went above and beyond to take care of my kitty over the holidays. She sent photos and updates every day, and I felt totally at ease while I was away knowing my cat was in such good hands. I couldn't recommend Reba more highly and look forward to booking her again!”

Candela is such an amazing dog sitter! She came over to meet Auggie ahead of her first time watching him. She gave him lots of cuddles, refilled his water, and gave him multiple opportunities to go outside while I was away at work. She is a great communicator and followed all of my instructions. Auggie was visibly happy in the photos she sent and clearly became quick friends with Candela! Very glad to have found her to take care of Auggie on a weekly basis! Highly recommend!!
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!
Emily is hands down the absolute best! I was stranded out of town for three extra days due to many, many flight cancellations. Every time I messaged her to ask if she could care for Blake another day she happily agreed! Blake (my senior dog) loves when she’s there and I love it too because I don’t have to worry one bit knowing Blake is safe and happy. I cannot thank her enough for what she does.

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.

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.
