About: I started off by helping my mom when she did boarding at her house, then I worked my way to doing it on my own. I've had pets my whole life and I do animal care constantly at my school. I also have been a volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society since 2023! I've had experience with all kinds of animals, from hermit crabs to english mastiffs! I'm always willing to learn new things and get to know each animal individually. I work part time and go to school, so I might be too busy for pets that need a lot of attention or a strict schedule. I want what's best for your pet, so I will be very open with you about my schedule to make sure it works with your expectations! I make sure to send pictures of your pets while you're away! I absolutely love affectionate animals no matter the size, but I will also respect your pet's space if they're not so cuddly. I always ask questions when I have them, so you don't have to worry about me overfeeding or giving them the wrong treat!
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, both are doodle mixes and one is a smaller dog and the other is a big dog so they have helped me learn how to care for dogs. Throughout my life as a teenager I’ve been tasked with basic dog watching duties here and there with a range of breeds, mostly doodle mixes with small and big dogs. Over this past year I’ve had more frequent dog watching jobs, mainly just check in visits with dogs while the owner is out of town or just busy in general. Recently, I had my biggest task which was watching 7 dogs for a week straight while staying overnight. With this task I had to provide medication for some of the dogs, feed every dog, take them outside frequently, and just basic caring duties for every dog. The sizes of dogs I had to watch were from very small to very big dogs. The breeds of dogs there were two Pitbulls, a French bulldog, two small doodle mixes, and two small Shih Tzus. Currently I’m a Sophomore at Bowling Green State University studying Accounting and I’ll also have a part-time job while I’m in school. So I should have plenty of time to care for dogs. Starting August 25th on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’ll be available anytime after 3:00 pm, and for Mondays and Wednesday’s anytime after 4:00pm works for me. For Fridays between 4-9 pm I’m available. Finally for Saturdays and Sundays anytime before 9:00 pm I am available to care. My dogs at home are very friendly and easy to care for. I help with feeding, walking, playing, and bathing. For any client I’ll be able to provide those services as well, and also other things such as providing medicine for any clients pets.

About: I have a gentle and compassionate approach to caring for dogs, thanks to my experience with my dog Winnie. She has anxiety and is a sensitive girl, and has taught me to be more perceptive and respectful with dogs. She’s in her senior years now and I’ve learned to watch for body language and to adjust our routine for her needs. I’ve also cared for energetic, lap dogs, dogs who have allergies, and small to medium sized dogs. They all have their own personalities and needs, and I try to learn and adapt quickly! I work remote very part time, so my schedule is completely flexible with plenty of time to pay attention to the pets I am with! I have a senior dog at home with some spinal issues, so I am very familiar with keeping pups safe and secure! I am happy to follow any special instructions if needed.
“Grace did a great job caring for our dog and house sitting while we were out of town for a few days. We got regular updates and photos of our pet, which helped put us at ease. We would highly recommend Grace for pet and house sitting.”


“Lily was great! Professional communication, gave us an update and photo while we gone, and left our home tidy. I would definitely recommend and plan to book her service again.”

About: I have been taking care of fur babies for 12 years. I have sat for friends and family. I have grown up around cats and dogs. I love seeing their own little personalities and quirks! I’m currently working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available on week days as well as the weekends. My shift is usually only five hours. They are usually from 6:30am-11:30am or 11:30am-4:30pm. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I respect any boundaries the client might have. I require a meet and greet to make sure your pets feel comfortable with me and will always update and send photos of your fur babies.
“Jess made our trip out of state possible. We were gone for 8 days, 7 nights. The longest we have stayed away from our three dogs and one senior cat. We have one dog on medications, and she handled that with no problems. Having them comfortable in their own home instead of crating elsewhere was the only way we could have left them. And I know it made them feel at ease when she stayed. That truly made a world of difference. We're so thankful to have found a person who cares for them like we do. We came back to happy fur babies and a clean home. Great feeling, great experience. Definitely recommended Jess, as pet parent who has booked twice now and will book again!”

“We had a unique situation and opportunity to be away for 1 week, come home for 1 1/2 days and leave again for another week. What we wished for our 3 dogs (2 of the 3 senior dogs) was that they stay in their own home and yard with as little disruption as possible. Donna allowed us to do that by staying at our home and maintaining our dog routines for us. Our dogs had a "stay - cation" and we had the vacation. Donna posted pictures and sent us notes so we didn't worry. Upon our return we found 3 happy girls who welcomed us home as if we never had been away. Also upon our return we found a plate of delicious cookies handmade by Donna”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little kid. Our family always had a dog and my specialty is belly rubs and long walks I work from home and can spend as much time as possible playing with them. I give unlimited belly rubs and kisses to make them comfortable I have plenty of space to make your dog comfortable and happy with love and lots of rubs and kisses. The dogs have access to lay on the bed and furniture

“Emma did a great dog with our dog while we were away! Made sure she got outside and our fur baby was surprisingly calm when we arrived back home. It stormed and she even rescued my windchime and picked the over abundance of veggies that ripened while we were gone!”


“Katy is an absolute gift to the Rover community. Leaving our dog and cat with a non-family member for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Katy immediately put all our anxieties to rest. From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our pets adored her. Even my normally shy cat—who usually hides from visitors—came right out to greet her. Honestly, it felt like our pets had known her in a past life; that’s how comfortable they were! Katy is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond. She asked all the right questions, sent some of the best photos of our pets we’ve ever seen, and even came early and stayed late to make sure our dogs got extra potty breaks. Her detailed updates and genuine kindness made being away so much easier. I almost hesitate to leave this glowing review because I know everyone will want to book her, but she truly deserves it. If you book with Katy, you won’t regret it!”


About: Animals and the outdoors have always been a huge part of my life. Having lived with dogs and cats my whole life, I am completely comfortable with all kinds of pet routines. I also have unique experiences farm sitting sheep, chickens, and llamas. I love hiking, camping, and exploring nature, and as a future educator, I am dedicated to giving your pets safe, attentive, and loving care. I’m currently a student at Bowling Green State University, so my schedule varies day by day. I have built in time (before, between, or after classes) nearly every day for walks and drop in visits. I am also available on weekends! I prioritize pet safety and client trust above everything else. I make sure all entryways and gates remain locked during visits, keep dogs strictly leashed on walks, and pay close attention to safety details and emergency instructions provided by owners. You can count on reliable, attentive care every single visit!
“Megan wonderfully with our older dog Fiona, she was very good with communicating with me when we were on our trip! We received pictures and videos so we could still see our old girl while we were away. When there was an issue she was quick to let us know and reassured us that Fiona was OK (my poor pup has a nervous belly).”

About: I’m a 25 year old pet sitter. im a full time dental assistant and part time dog sitter! Im a pet owner, I’ve grew up with pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, goats. I love to care for animals/ people who can’t take care/speak for themselves😇 I’m a full time dental assistant who works 8-5 during the week days. I am available on weekends at ANY TIME for boarding, house sitting or drop-in visits. And during the week I am also available any time after 5pm! For any pet they need to be fed, bathed, time to play, let outside to potty and just be a nice companion to them everyday.

About: Hi! I'm currently a college student who's looking to have a decent side job while also dealing with missing her animals back home! I have eleven cats and four dogs back home, as well as three guinea pigs, a hermit crab and some exotic animals as well. My parents are the primary owners, but I am often the caretaker of all of our pets, especially when my parents are out of town! I have experience with senior dogs, young dogs, small, big, and medium sized dogs and dogs of varying temperament. I am used to the varying temperament of cats, too! Since we have exotic animals, I'm also used to a handful of different routines and dealing with different feeding preferences and rules. I have experience with watching some pets of my family members as well, so it's not just limited to my immediate family! I'm currently a student full time at BGSU, but my classes generally get done around 12:20PM on Mon/Wed/Fri, around 2:30PM on Tuesdays, and around 10:30AM on Thursdays! I'm more than willing to stop by after my classes to check up on your pets, and I'm generally up around 6:30AM so there's no issue in morning routines. In my home, things are ran a bit different since we have so many different animals. My main focus at home is usually keeping the dogs out for periods of time, watching them and playing with them if they're willing to play along! Whatever your usual routine is at home is what I'll be willing to adjust to, since the comfort of your pet is my priority!
About: Animal lover household! I have taken care of many dogs in the past. I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever that would love to have some friends around! We have a house with a gated yard. I am currently working from home which gives me the capability of giving your pets the full attention they deserve. Your pet/pets will be my top priority from playtime to bedtime! I have a fenced in yard and a gentle golden retriever who gets along great with other dogs and is willing to tire herself out playing with your pup! We allow pets to roam the home and lay on the furniture and if the owner prefers, we have crates and gates as well if the owner thinks accommodations are necessary. Your dog will be fully safe and supervised for their stay; as well as provided with lots of cuddles! I fully understand the feeling of leaving your pup with someone new, but I am consistently updating with pictures, videos and updates of the stay/visit!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maumee
Krystal did a great job caring for our two high maintenance dachshunds! Would book again without a doubt. She went above and beyond to meet our dogs beforehand and was very thorough to learn their needs/routines. She was great at communicating and we loved the updates and photos throughout the stay, thanks so much Krystal!😊

Mark was excellent with the dogs and also took care of bringing in my packages and keeping an eye on my house. He kept me constantly updated with texts and photos and I never had to worry about my dogs being in good care. I rebooked him immediately for my next trip. Would 100% recommend!!

Maggie and Travis are THE BEST! Our girls love them so much and I can tell through the updates and photos that the dogs are relaxed and comfortable with them. Communication is important to us and they are always responsive and thorough when talking with us! 10/10 would recommend them!

Marie did a wonderful job taking care of Brownie. She was here for a week and made sure he’s been fed properly, played with him, took him for walks, etc. Brownie looked happy staying with her. She went above and beyond & made sure wverything in the house was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Marie and for sure for our next trip she’ll be our first priority!

Jennifer did amazing watching our two dogs. She was very attentive, caring-staying in our home, taking them on numerous walks a day and so patient with our more timid girly. Getting her updates with pictures was reassuring and I would love to book her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Maumee is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $65 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 305 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maumee. 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 Maumee 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 Maumee 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 Maumee 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
