“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.”
“Tori did a wonderful job taking care of our fur-kid, Franklin, and our home while we were gone. She was great about sending photos and reaching out to me if she had any questions. Franklin completely took to her and was as normal as could be when we got home after a week away. (He's 8 mos old and this was his first experience being left with a sitter.) It was wonderful to return home to a tidy house AND a happy cat. I would recommend Tori to anyone who needs a thoughtful, conscientious house & pet 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!”
“Mikayla was wonderful! She took excellent care of my cat while I was away for two weeks, sent daily pics, and left my place spotless for when I returned. She is so kind and thoughtful. Highly recommend!”
“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 did a great job dog sitting for us, especially given somewhat late notice and significant snow and ice during our booking. It was our first time using a dog sitter, and we will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Alicia truly is a Super Star Sitter. Right from my first contacts with her everything went so smoothly for me. She was a big help getting me started with using the app but by far her work as a sitter for my two dogs was phenomenal. Along with all the many small things that are so important with watching our dogs. I will be booking her again just as soon as I can. She is awesome. Thank you.”
“Natalee was great. She was very professional and communicative. She sent videos and updates regularly and did everything asked of her. Our dogs seemed happy and worn out when we came back. Would book again in the future.”
“Ross was great! All of our pets were well taken care of the whole time we were out of town. Our dogs are very particular about their routines so it was great to find someone who could stay with them all weekend. We’re definitely making Ross our go to sitter when we leave town.”
“Max was an amazing pet sitter for my cat Birdie and my hamster Oso. I was worried as this was my first time leaving my cat for this long and she's a rescue and very shy. But, Birdie took to Max very quickly and Max made sure to keep me updated and let me know she was ok. I appreciated how communicative he was with me throughout my time away. Thanks to Max I was able to enjoy my first vacation in over 2 years. I will definitely be reaching out to Max the next time I go on vacation.”
“Marsha was super communicative and took great care of our fur babies! She left the house super clean as well. Logan and Gilly seemed very happy for the company and cuddles while we were out of town!”
“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.!!!”
“Lauryn did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. Not only was she available on short notice but she kept me updated with pics and check ins. He has some medical issues and she was able to navigate those and alert me as needed. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Cara was amazing with our 2 jack russel terriers while we were on vacation for a week. She sent pictures and videos daily which we adored. Our younger, newer dog warmed up to her quickly. She played ball with pur older dog. Good communication, reliable and helped us relax by not having to worry about the dogs while on vacation since we knew they were with someone who cared. Definitely will be requesting Cara in the future. Thank you Cara!”
“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.”
“Zach was amazing with Acacia, she’s super timid and he was very patient with her. I loved receiving photos and updates from him, and he really eased my mind while I was away from Acacia. I hope to work with Zach more in the future! 10/10 service. He also left the house exactly as we asked!”
“We were so happy to leave Maple with someone we could trust to take good care of her. Maple took to Becky right away and we loved getting cute photos and videos of her antics while we were traveling. It was clear Maple was happy in her company. Great communication, and we came home to a clean house and very kindly watered plants. We’d definitely have Becky back again!”
“Jennifer took care of our two high energy dogs without any issues! She was incredibly responsive and left our house in great condition. I highly recommend her.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Maplewood is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maplewood
Mallory was wonderful. Mister is an older dog who requires special love and she delivered. She sent Pictures and videos throughout my trip which I very much appreciated. Definitely at the top of m6 list for future sits. Thanks so much Mallory.. from Mister and me!
Chris was amazing! Great communication and some great pics of our pups enjoying their time with him. Our pups were relaxed and happy when we came home and our house was spotless. This was our first experience with Chris and Rover, but it most certainly will not be our last.
Rebecca was absolutely fantastic! This was our first Rover experience and it couldn't have gone better for us. With having 5 dogs and 2 cats boarding is never an option . Rebecca met with us twice beforehand to help make us comfortable and go over all instructions. Such a wonderful person to work with! I cant say enough about how relaxed and confident everything was going to be fine while we were gone. Will absolutely use her again for any and all pet sitting needs.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Megan. This was the very first time I had ever left my pets, and I was extremely anxious about being away from them. From the moment we booked, she made me feel completely comfortable, and from the moment we started our trip, I genuinely didn’t worry about them at all. Her communication was absolutely incredible. She sent frequent updates, photos, and messages throughout our entire trip, and it was so clear how much she genuinely cared about our pets. She went above and beyond in every possible way. One of my cats is extremely nervous around people and typically hides whenever anyone comes over. Not only did she get him to come out from under the couch, but she also got him to eat and even helped him become comfortable enough to spend time around her, which honestly amazed me. She was also incredible with our dogs. She got them to play with toys they’ve never shown interest in before and even taught them how to play fetch! I had been very worried because one of my dogs can be protective of toys and bones, but she handled everything so thoughtfully and professionally, and there were absolutely no issues. When one of my dogs, Juniper, wasn’t eating her usual food, she took the initiative to go to the pet store and buy a different flavor that she thought Juniper might like—and it worked. That level of care and attention meant so much to us. As if all of that wasn’t enough, when we returned home, she surprised us with beautifully printed and framed photos of our pets from their time together. It was such a thoughtful and touching gesture. She treated our pets like they were her own, and I truly cannot imagine a better experience. If you’re considering booking with her, do it. She is kind, attentive, communicative, knowledgeable, and genuinely exceptional. We feel so lucky to have found her, and we will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maplewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maplewood on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,705 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.

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.
