“She’s great!! Came over last minute to watch our Frenchie. Very responsive and left the house just like she found it. Sent us pics of the little fur baby and kept us up to speed on everything. Love her!”
“Jeena was so great with our high energy dogs. She sent many pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. We will book with her again!”
“Max took excellent care of our 2 dogs while away on vacation. He sent regular communication and I could tell he really cared about them. He left the house in great condition. Will use Max again for sure.”
“Our babies were obviously very well cared for and the house was left super clean. Our animals were relaxing comfortably when we got home- literally zero signs of stress. Tori did a great job of keeping us updated every day which helped a lot with our peace of mind. She even brought our mail and packages in so they wouldn’t get rained on! Great experience, would absolutely recommend. It was easily one of our top Rover experiences since joining the app over 2 years ago.”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“We don’t want to tell everyone how great Natalee is because then she’ll get be even busier and hard to book. I’ve used Nat a few times now for over nights and some drop ins, but this was my longest time away from my dogs- 10 days. My youngest has some stranger danger so we did a couple of meet and greets before I left just to make sure, but my dog immediately remembered her and was so happy to see her. Unfortunately right before I left, two of my boys were rough housing and a minor injury occurred. Though minor, it was on the tip of his ear so it kept opening up. Nat took care of him and cleaned up (which was a lot) because otherwise my house would have looked like a Jackson pollock painting. While I was gone, he also managed to injure his tail, though I presume he was just so happy having out with Nat that he hit it and hurt himself. She took great care of him and even ran him to the vet, so she really went above and beyond. I came home to happy dogs, a clean house, and changed sheets, which was amazing when you get home very late from a long day of travel. We will continue to use Nat, she’s the best!”
“Hayden did a good job taking care of Jack while I was out of town. She was very attentive to his needs and made me feel comfortable. Communication was good.”
“Alicia was great! Very responsive and timely. Took excellent care of our elderly dog, sent daily updates with pictures, and left the house in great condition! We were very pleased!”
“We were nervous about leaving our fur babies having had a negative experience (not through Rover) in the past but Cara was amazing! She took the time to meet us and our puppies ahead of time, rolled with it when our one dog became two as we adopted our dog’s littermate only two weeks beforehand. She was super communicative sending us pictures and videos. We knew our dogs were getting lots of love and that our house was well cared for!!! I hope we can book Cara again in the future.”
“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”
“Hadley was absolutely amazing taking care of Oscar. She sent me plenty of updates which really put me at ease since I hate leaving him alone. He's usually pretty lazy, but she was able to take him to the farmers market where he had such a fun time. It's great to have someone like Hadley available to dog sit for me,and 100% recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Jennifer and co were absolutely fantastic! I had a last minute request because my cat injured himself and needed extra care. Jennifer stayed with him, gave meds, and updated me with any changes. My other cat was also well loved and taken care of! I received many video and photo updates every night and I knew my babies were in good hands!!! I will definitely book again!”
“Alyssa was so sweet! We got lots of updates on our fur babies, which was much appreciated. We could tell they were very well taken care of. Will definitely re-book Alyssa in the futire!”
“We are so glad that we booked Ross to stay with our adult dog and our puppy while we were out of town for a few days. He did a fantastic job. The dogs had lots of fun while we were gone. And the house looked great when we got home.”
“Porter is EXCEPTIONAL! Pebbles ADORES him! I read on here that he was very dependable (which was the biggest thing I was looking for). My experience with him was that he’s very dependable, he’s very dedicated to my pet’s care and safety, he kept my home clean, and I came home to a very happy pet. I could tell she had so much fun with him! I could not have asked for a more positive experience. Thank you, Porter!”
“Autumn was amazing! This was my first time having someone watch my dog and Autumn got my high anxiety pup to warm right up to her. Thank you so much for taking care of Roux!”
“Jennifer was great caring for our energetic one year old. She walked her and also took care of all her needs as she is still training a bit. Our house was well taken care of like we never left. Thanks Jen!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for my neighbors since I was in elementary school. I have also owned my own dogs for all of my life. I pride myself on ensuring that every dog I take care of is given above average care. I make sure that they are walked everyday I am taking care of them and also play with them on top of that. I’ve also helped in the process of raising a puppy, which has taught me even more about what dogs require. I don’t have as much experience with cats but I was a cat sitter for my neighbor throughout all of elementary school and middle school (they moved away). I’m a college student so when I’m home for the summer the only things I have are my part time job. This means I’m very openly available to check on the pets, walk them, and play with them. I typically go to the gym every morning, so they’ll be up early and fed early. I will also walk them daily so they’ll get plenty of exercise throughout the day. I provide reliable, attentive care to each pet i care for. In my home, I create a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision, lots of bathroom trips, playtime, and rest. There are no kids in my house so it is a very comfortable and calm environment. Even when everyone is home, it’s a comfortable and calm space. In a client’s home, I stick closely to the normal schedule so your pet is as comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates with photos so you are confident your pet is being taken good care of. My goal is always to make your pet feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you’re gone.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Maplewood is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maplewood
Laura is simply the best. She stayed with my weird little dog for a week and did a spectacular job. It's the second time she sat for me in my expectations were fulfilled. She left my house tidier than before. She always goes above and beyond. You won't be disappointed if you go with Laura. I highly recommend.
Clarisa took great care of my 2 senior dogs and one senior cat for a week while I was away for 5 days. She was very sweet my pets, and they were happy and content when I got home as if I had never been gone. Exactly what you hope for! Clarisa was very communicative with me during the trip and sent daily photos of them which is always comforting. I highly recommend her services for your pets!
Jenni was an excellent dog sitter for our 2 dogs. She is friendly and very communicative. We received regular updates with pictures on walks and questions when necessary. Our dogs were happy when we got home and clearly well cared for. I would rebook Jenni again!
Nicole did a wonderful job caring for my pets! Both of my dogs can be skittish around new people, but they took quickly to her and were comfortable with her in their space. She did an amazing job at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing. I would definitely book with Nicole again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maplewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maplewood on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 1,670 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maplewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Maplewood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Maplewood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maplewood. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
