“Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!”
“Zoe was great with my Charlie! As a new puppy I was a little nervous leaving him alone to run errands and my doctors appointments,she was able to pick up the shift last minute and Charlie was well taken care of. Highly recommended!”
About: For nearly 20 years, caring for pets has been a natural part of my professional caregiving experience. I've also had the privilege of caring for clients of RxTra Care Pet Sitting & Services, PetCare with Love LLC, and currently Pawmunications, entrusting me with the care of pets of all ages, personalities, and care needs. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a multi-pet household, my goal is to keep their day as consistent and stress-free as possible. I believe the best pet care starts with communication. I take the time to learn your expectations, your pet's routines, and the little details that make them feel safe and comfortable. Every visit is tailored to your pet, because no one knows them better than you do. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine oral medications, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and caring for multi-pet households. I'll also provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is simple: for you to come home—or finish your workday—to happy pets and the confidence that everything was exactly as it should be. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, allowing me the flexibility to provide dependable care, accommodate a variety of schedules, and be available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks. My availability is updated regularly, so if you have recurring or long-term needs, I'd love to chat! Because I'm caring for your pets in the environment they're most comfortable in, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and respecting both your pet's needs and your home. Before every booking, I take the time to learn your pet's schedule, preferences, medications, and any household routines that are important to you. During each visit, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, double-check collars and harnesses before walks, and provide regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind.
About: Hi my name is Amanda, I am a recent graduate. I’m a huge animal lover and I’ve had experience pet sitting and caring for animals for about 4 years now. I’ve had a fur baby of my own named Leo who sadly passed from epilepsy. I am responsible and will treat your pet like it is my own. I will update you frequently on how your pet is doing and respond quickly to any questions you may have. It is my pleasure to get your services set up so that your fur babies can experience outstanding care while you are away. I would love to welcome your furry family member! I currently work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate pet care requests. I’m off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, making me available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, or daycare. On Fridays, I work from 4:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and am available for visits and walks after my shift. Saturdays are wide open, making them perfect for daytime care, walks, or date-night sitting. On Sundays, I’m available after 6:00 p.m. for evening visits or walks. If your requested time falls outside of my listed availability, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if I can make it work! I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of green space for potty breaks and outdoor time. I'm also just a 3-minute walk from Monte Irvin Park, where dogs can enjoy longer walks, exercise, and fresh air. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment and always follow each pet's routine and any instructions provided by their owner. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, feeding, or medication (if needed), I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
“Dan was awesome! He really helped us out on short notice and over a holiday weekend! Great communication and pictures of the kitties. 10/10 would use Dan’s services again!”
“Bianca is always a pleasure to work with, my Nipsey loves her. There were some occasions when I needed her last minute and she’s been available to us. That is much appreciated. Thank you so much Bianca for caring for Nipsey he loves you.”
“First time Rover user and Anya was wonderful. She popped over to play and feed our boys Mac and Mo while we went out of town for the first time since we adopted them. They warmed up to her immediately and i appreciated her attention to play time and she was also very responsive whenever I had reached out. Will definitely book her again! thanks Anya!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs all my life, such as walking, feeding or bathing them. I have also taken care of my neighbors cat for feeding. I have some jobs as a soccer coach but have a lot of experience with dogs since I have lived with them my whole life. Usually I will do what they tell me to do for their pet, such as walking, feeding or bathing I can also do if needed.
“We were a little nervous about this as it was our first time using this app. Thankfully Amanda made the process so smooth. She communicated with me, and took pictures of the dogs, which put me at ease. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“This is the 3rd time Trisha has taken care of our precious pets. She continues to go above and beyond. This time she alerted us of a health issue and went to the vet to obtain the medication. By the time we came back, our doggie was all better.”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I currently have two dogs I walk and board as well as a dog at home. I’m committed to keeping the dogs in my care safe, and making sure they are having a great time. Currently I have a pretty open schedule and could work with you on the details. Available 7 days a week, days and nights. Long term or short term. I walk the dogs two or three times a day. Often walk the woods in the reservation and use the dog park. My yard is fenced in and private. Have dog at home (Messi) who loves dogs and company. If you’re more comfortable having your pet caged, we can make arrangements for that or whatever makes you comfortable.
About: Having my own dog before, I understand the needs of taking care of a dog! Leash training is an essential part of having a pet, and that is something I know how to work with without using any shock collar, or prong devices that might be painful to your pet. Currently I am a Chemistry student, and have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to work around most individuals schedules. I am always willing to talk and coordinate something to work out a pet care schedule, communication is key and important to figuring out a schedule that meets both your pets and family’s needs. I am very respectful and will work with a client according to their rules, and how they would like to go about caring for there pet. The client’s house privacy and protection is something I take very seriously, and respect however the client wishes to go about their pet’s care. I am respectful, and accommodating to all. I am a full time student. I am happy to be with your pups whenever I’m not at school, and am accommodating to almost all schedules! I am respectful and understanding of clients home request. Whether theres certain hours they’d like to have there dog outside, or certain places they may not want there pups to be. I am understanding and can follow clients request to ensure they feel comfortable with there sitter.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Maplewood
Kethely is such a sweetheart and was amazing with our baby pomsky! She was such a big help when we needed someone for drop in visits while on vacation. She always sends daily videos and pictures so that we were constantly updated on how our puppy was doing, and it gave us peace of mind knowing the good care our fur baby was in. We would definitely rebook with her and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable caring pet sitter!
Bianca was amazing while my husband and I were away! She was so prompt and followed all our instructions perfectly. She also showed us so much love, care, and patience, especially with our three dachshunds—especially our little guy, who was a bit anxious and timid at first. Dachshunds, especially three, can be a bit of a challenge and can get a little chaotic, but she handled all three with such compassion. She even offered some alternative options when scheduling conflicts came up. Thanks again, Bianca! We’re already looking forward to booking with you again :)
Jennifer has a special relationship with Jolene - 10 minutes before Jenn arrives, always on time, Jolene starts to get excited and ready for her long walk. Rain, Sleet, Snow, Bad Attitudes (the dog) and even in sickness (Jolene is getting old) - Jennifer is here for us.
Veronica took care of our dog while we went to Paris. We ended up getting stuck in Paris two extra days because of the blizzard that hit the northeast. Veronica took our dog to her place so she could make sure she was okay during the storm. She went far beyond what we expected of her. I cannot recommend her enough. Your pet will be in excellent hands with Veronica!

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.
