“Kendall was super responsive and helped watch Jasper and house sit with short notice. He is a bit shy but Kendall was sensitive to his needs. Thanks for taking care of my sweet little guy!”
“Margaret and Travis did an excellent job giving our animals tons of TLC during a day visit. They also maintained great communication. I will trust my furry friends with them any time!”
“Mark is awesome. He came and met Eazy beforehand and made everyone comfortable. Received updates all weekend with pics and videos of them having a blast. Eazy had a great weekend outside playing with Mark and was looking for him long after we got home! He is the absolute best! Will be using him again for sure. Could not recommend Mark enough!!!!”
“We LOVED having Jennifer care for our two doggos while away for a weekend. Our last river experience was not ideal and she quickly eased my nerves with how prepared she was just at the meet and greet! She sent updates throughout the weekend and rolled with the punches when our internet went out during her stay. We came home to two happy and tired dogs and she even left a goodie bag with treats. We won’t hesitate to ask Jennifer to care for our pets in the future!”
“Hallejia was an amazing dog sitter. She and Willow got along great. I attribute that to her coming and meeting Willow ahead of time and taking her time to get to know her. Hallejia is very attentive, caring and kind. I loved her the moment I met her which made me feel comfortable leaving Willow. She familiarized herself with Willow’s routine and habits. And Halleija is so flexible. I had to change some things at the last minute and she was so accommodating. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to sit for Willow!”
“Autumn cared for her dogs like her own. She understood what we wanted from a pet sitter and made sure to spend a lot of time with our pups. We will continue to request Autumn when we need a dog sitter.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Sydney. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with—someone we instantly felt we could trust. She was reliable every step of the way, and our two cats absolutely adored her. Sydney went above and beyond by sending us frequent photo updates, which not only showed how happy and relaxed our cats were, but also gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thanks to her attentive care, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were in the best hands. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and truly caring sitter!”
“This was probably the best experience I’ve had away from my dogs. Lillian was so attentive, so easy to communicate with, and brings a genuine peaceful presence. I got text updates and pictures of my pups seeming so happy, so in their element. I WILL be using her again, actually immediately booking for my next trip!!!”
About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”
“Katie K. went above and beyond taking care of our two large dogs. First time using Rover and am so happy we did. She sent text updates with pictures which we loved! Stayed at our house and left it as when we left. We will be having her come back for sure!”
“First time with Taylor for an overnight house and dog sitting. Taylor had great communication, and excellent care of my two pups! She contacted me promptly when she had a question about giving meds to one of my dogs. I came home to happy beasts, and that's the best.”
“Maddie was great with Meatball and sent us pictures of him throughout our trip. He can get really down when we are away, but he seemed to be very happy to spend time with Maddie. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup! We will definitely be booking with Maddie in the future!”
“Stephanie was amazing - very communicative, lots of pictures, and overall an awesome person to trust with our dogs for the day. Will definitely be adding her to our short list for future sitter needs.”
“Bobbie went over and above with all my pets. Oliver is blind and still acts like a puppy so he can be a handful but Bobbie and her family treated him like one i or f their own. I could tell that he was super comfortable in their care. She took the best possible care of Dottie and Toby as well. Bobbie was awesome with the daily pics and updates and was very flexible with our vacation schedule. We’ll be using her on our next vacation for sure.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals almost all my life. From helping neighbors as a child feed and love on their cats to taking in my own cats and dogs and raising and loving them. I have 4 wonderful cats and a spunky fun loving 2 year old golden retriever that are adored by myself and family. I work full time but have time in the morning, an hour at lunch time, and full evenings for feedings, walking, play time, cat litter clean up etc. I have a fully fenced good size yard with a friendly golden retriever to keep you dog(s) company for pet stays in my home. If I will be in your home I will make sure during a meet and greet what your expectations are for your animals prior to my stay.

Margaret and Travis were terrific! I so appreciated their regular updates and photos. They took wonderful care of my animals and home. They are very personable and funny, and hearing stories of their interactions with my animals while I was away and missing them made me so happy. Margaret and Travis have my highest recommendation!
Krystal was amazing with our pup! Very professional, easy to communicate with, dependable and arriving on time. Really took the effort to get to know our pups routine and follow it as closely as possible. She made us feel at ease leaving our “fur baby” with her. Definitely recommend and will be using for future trips.
Madalyn did a wonderful job with Piper!! It was her first time she watched Piper and it was for a weekend. Madalyn was at our house at the time we asked her to be and let us know when she was leaving. She kept in contact, sent a picture of how happy Piper was, and our was clean when we got home. We will definitely be in touch with her when we need a sitter for Piper again!! Thank you again Madalyn! 🐶😍

FAQs for House Sitting - Maumee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maumee on Rover is $49.17 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 333 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 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 Maumee. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
