“This was our first time using Rover and we were a little apprehensive. But Jared came and met our dogs before staying and made us feel at ease. He sent us updates and did everything he said he would. We had a great experience and will be asking him to come back again!”
“Great experience with Stephanie. Meet and greet went great, supper attentive and friendly. Our boys had a great time with her, she’s very communicative throughout the stay. We’re greatly appreciate the care she provided for our boys. We will definitely use her and the future again.”
“Sarah did a great job with our dogs and was more attentive to them than we could have asked for. During a time when they could have been stressed out our dogs looked happy and active the whole time we were away because they adored Sarah.”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for nearly all of my life. I believe in treating pets with love and kindness. I presently have 2 fur babies at home, a Husky and a Maltipoo. I have many years of experience with cats and dogs, especially with raising puppies and newborn kittens (several litters). I’m very comfortable with all forms of pet care, including: medical needs, in-home care, walking, playing, feeding, potty breaks, and most of all - spoiling them! I’m retired so I’m available most of the time. I’m able to house sit day and/or night, assist with vet/grooming appointments upon availability. Weekends are a bit more limited, but still an option based on times needed. I’m currently available for pet sitting (dogs & cats) in the client’s home as well as dog walking, feeding, administration of meds (if needed), playing/interaction, potty breaks, and potty training for puppies & kittens.
“Megan did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and two cats while we were away. It was nice to be able to enjoy our time away knowing that we had a reliable and trusted person taking care of things. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I currently have 3 dogs who I treat as my kids. I raised one as a puppy and rescued the other from the SPCA and saved one from being left stranded.My pit sleeps with my daughter and my shep/lab is our watch dog at night. My daughter is willing to help in whatever needs to be done too. I work full time and will be doing this before and after work. I am willing to stay over on weekends and when ever I am off from work. My dogs are very well behaved around other dogs and love to make new friends. I am willing to travel within reason. Can’t wait to meet you and get to spend time with your pups. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for reading this. I work full time during the week and available for dog/cat care anytime after 4pm. Weekends are spent caring for your pets!!! If you have questions regarding my availability please send me a message or reach out. I have a fenced in yard which provides extra security when we are playing outside. If I am going to be going to your home and you don’t have a fenced in yard then will definitely keep an extra eye/leash on your pet. I will make sure the house is in order the way you left it prior to me coming.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I take time to get to know their routines and what makes them comfortable. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always keep owners updated. What makes me different is the extra care and attention I give to each pet. I’m currently working part-time but I am super open to working with your schedule and my availability changed weekly. I have lots of time to do what I love and help you guys out!! In my home, pets get a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet rest. I give each pet personal attention and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s cuddles or space, I adjust to what each pet needs.
“I was really nervous about leaving my dog and 2 cats, however Haley and Quinn were very responsive to my calls and requests. They are Amazing. We have one cat that is very skittish, Haley and Quinn are able to warm him over within a short period of time. When we arrived home, the animals were happy and healthy and our home was well taken care of We would recommend Haley and Quinn to everyone.”
“We could not have been happier with Terry as our sitter! She was great at sending updates every morning and our dog seemed to be very happy spending time with her. He is also extremely picky when it comes to new people but Terry was great with him! We were very nervous as this was the first time we left him with a sitter for an extended period of time but Terry did a wonderful job to ease our nerves. It's also a huge plus that she can work from home as well so your pet will get full time care with her. She also left the house spotlessly clean and in pristine condition and was kind enough to leave us with gifts as well! 5 stars all around and we highly recommend her!!!”

“We were very apprehensive about leaving our dog with just anyone. However, we were blessed to have found Andrew. He assured us he would take good care of our girl and he definitely did.

FAQs for House Sitting - Maurice River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maurice River. 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 Maurice River 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 Maurice River 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 Maurice River 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 Maurice River. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
