About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two lemon beagles, Hudson and Midas. I’ve also dog-sat for others multiple times and have plenty of hands-on experience with walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs. From daily routines to giving extra attention to senior dogs, I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I love being around animals and will treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m a student with a flexible schedule and classes Monday through Wednesday evenings at 6 PM. This leaves me available for pet care throughout most of the day, including walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their dog’s routine and needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I understand the importance of following feeding instructions, maintaining familiar routines, and making sure dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention, and keep you updated during visits so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
“Alex was fantastic with my dog, Nate! Nate can be somewhat unruly with other dogs. Alex was keen on listening to how Nate's been trained and (IMHO) had the calm demeanor that people and dogs like Nate want in a dog walker. He also communicated well and followed through on everything he signed up for. Thank you, Alex!”
“Danny and Jennifer were absolutely amazing with our pups for a really extended (two weeks!!) period of time. They came on time every day, twice a day, and saw to their basic needs, of course—food, water, love, play. But they also picked up after them, straightened the house, took the trash to the curb, kept the pups safe in the dorms, did troubleshooting on an AirTag collar, brought packages inside, gave great Rover cards, and clearly just CARED!!! They were great communicators and went WAY above and beyond in pretty much every possible way. Unsurprisingly, our pups love them! I will do everything I can to work with them again for future vacations!!”
“Emily was friendly and easy to work with. We hired Emily for our senior bulldog Christie to have a visit during the day when our work schedules were becoming more hectic. Christie immediately loved her and in just one week of her visits, we came home to a dog that was relaxed and happy. We will definitely book Emily in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I love dogs in all sizes and have the most experience with chihuahuas from puppies to much older puppies. I love going for walks and going places with doggies but I’m also not opposed to a leisurely stroll or hanging out on the couch! Currently I am waiting to start my full time position so I have lots of availability and can start immediately! I am doing this because I love animals and I need a little extra cash to get me by! I am willing to go for walks and do drop ins. I have recently been house sitting for family members with multiple dogs and I have taken those dogs on walks, to the vet, and even to camp. We play and hang out and I spend the night with them!
“Sarah was incredible with our two cats while we were on a trip! She was highly responsive and proactive, and we felt like our cats were in really great hands the entire time.”
“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!”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover and I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes. I am looking forward to helping out other pet parents when they need an extra hand. I am working from home and my schedule is extremely flexible, I can fit in walks throughout the work day and during the evenings as well. My dog is back in Ohio and will not be around while I care for yours. I am happy to walk your dog on whatever route you prefer!
“Claire was wonderful with our puppy Vinny. Vinny has been struggling a lot with separation anxiety and was had Claire come to watch him while we were out of the house for a few hours. She was sure to keep Vinny comfortable and cater to his needs (which can be difficult with a needy puppy). I would book Claire with 100% confidence and look forward to working with her again.”
“Kati was great with my cats! I had to book some drop ins last minute and Kati was extremely responsive and attentive to my cats’ needs. Would highly recommend booking with Kati!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. Over the last 6 years I’ve supported friends with short term care and fostered dogs Mikki has have a pretty flexible work schedule with a traditional schedule of 9am-5pm, Monday- Fridays, that can allow her to check in mid day for walks, feeding, or belly rubs. I pet sit for friends, walk and check in on their dogs when needed, and have fostered dogs. I’m comfortable and experienced in small and large dogs.
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life, including both dogs and cats. My family has had a Goldendoodle and a Golden Retriever, so I'm very comfortable caring for dogs and understanding their different personalities and needs. I've also gained experience dog sitting for a breeder who raises and trains hunting dogs, which has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments. I love spending time with animals and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, or keeping them company, I want every pet to feel happy and comfortable while their owner is away. I'm currently a full-time college student, but my class schedule gives me plenty of free time throughout the day and in the evenings. I have a lot of flexibility between and after classes, making it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I always make their safety and comfort a top priority. I make sure to follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their normal routine, so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I also make sure to keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
About: I'm happy to go on a long or short walk depending on what your dog needs that day — from exploring to leisurely block sniffs. I have a 7yr old pup of my own, Peanut (boxer-pit) and I understand how important walks and treats are to her ✨ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine - I’m available for both short and longer walks - depending on your dog’s needs for the day Your pup's comfort and safety will be my top priorities. I treat every dog I walk the way I'd want someone to treat my Peanut — with patience, attention, and a lot of love.
“Jessica did daily drop-in visits while we were on vacation for 9 days. She took great care of our kitties, gave us updates and photos, and they warmed up to her quickly. Would highly recommend.”
“Kaitlyn has been wonderful!! My dog, Wilson, is prone to anxiety and shyness and she was always so gentle and attentive with him. She understood his needs and took the time to get to know him and make him feel more at ease. It means a lot to have someone who’s willing to work with him where he’s at. She’s consistent, punctual, and an honest and diligent person. She took good care of my shy guy when I wasn’t able to be home at a decent time. Definitely a wholehearted recommendation for Kaitlyn!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m a dog owner myself, to a 3yo and a 14yo beagle mix, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, basic medications when needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable with large dogs and small and understand that different dogs have very different energy levels and needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog gets the individual care and attention they’re used to. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to fit walks and drop-in visits into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week and can often accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I’m happy to provide regular recurring walks or check-ins as well as occasional care when you’re working late, traveling, or just need an extra hand. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your dog. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs or house rules. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large and giant breeds, and I pay close attention to each dog’s body language and comfort level. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is my deep, practical experience caring for both dogs and cats, paired with a calm, attentive, and reliable approach to pet care. With 10 years of experience with cats and 3 years of hands-on experience with dogs, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My schedule is completely flexible! Because I currently work a part-time job with adjustable hours, I am able to set my schedule around your pet's needs. Whether you need drop-ins, house sitting, or daily walks, I can easily adapt to match your pet's routine and give them the dedicated attention they deserve. I live in a secure apartment in the Shrewsbury neighborhood. While my indoor space is cozy, your pet will enjoy a clean, clutter-free environment where they can relax comfortably. I am blessed with a large grass backyard right outside, perfect for outdoor play, potty breaks, and fresh air. Additionally, our neighborhood is safe and walkable, so I can easily take your dog on regular walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation tailored to their energy level.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maplewood
Maryanne was an absolute blessing. We needed a local sitter in a massive time of need and she was flexible, communicative, and attentive to details. And that’s before even the care of the dog came into play. She would send amazing updates even bringing food games and puzzles for my food driven dog. She would hang out with him and he really enjoyed her while we were away. I can’t recommend her more and I know in the future whenever I need her, she will be there. Thank you so much!
It was a wonderful experience! My pet sitter was incredibly kind, caring, and reliable. They took great care of my pet and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciate all the love and attention they gave my pet. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much!
Jake was always quick to respond and great about sending us updates and being flexible on short notice. I really appreciated his care for our two dogs and the concern he showed in making sure they felt cared for while we were away. I will definitely ask for his help in the future and trust him to do everything we can’t in our absence.
Claire was wonderful with our puppy Vinny. Vinny has been struggling a lot with separation anxiety and was had Claire come to watch him while we were out of the house for a few hours. She was sure to keep Vinny comfortable and cater to his needs (which can be difficult with a needy puppy). I would book Claire with 100% confidence and look forward to working with her again.
Just wanted to add that since Sarah started with us in July, she has not only been an awesome sitter for our dog, but she has also been a very conscientious house guest. She’s noticed when we have loose planks in the fence, poisonous plants in the yard, and even found a missing key fob. We really appreciate having found such a kind and helpful sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Maplewood is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 2,650 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
