Marcy was incredible! Her communication was amazing starting from the meet and greet, to booking, to before and during her time sitting my pup! She provided updates each day making me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear that my dog was well taken care of. I will use her as a sitter again!

We had an excellent experience with Shelley! We would definitely book with her again. She sent us regular updates about our pups, with pictures, and was very easy to communicate with. We felt confident that our pups were happy and loved!

Kristen is INCREDIBLE. Our dogs absolutely adored her and they were very well taken care of. Sally has medical needs and received her medications, special meals, and all instructions were followed. She also went above and beyond to clean up Sally's spots where she got sick during her visit. Cassie is more cautious of new sitters until she warms up to them, but she loved Kristen immediately without hesitation. Kristen also sent us LOTS of photos and communication, keeping us up to current events as things progressed with Sally. We couldn't be happier with her service and will definitely be using her services again!

5 STAR ⭐️ Jasmin and her pup Thor took the best care of my deaf bulldog, Mouse while I was out of town for 3 nights. I was so worried when I saw that there would be extreme heat during my time away but when I reached out to Jasmin she asked great questions and listened carefully to how I usually handle hot weather to keep Mouse safe and comfortable. Jasmin provided great updates and pictures/video that made me feel able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Jasmin carefully followed Mouse’s complicated feeding and medication needs. I feel Lucky to have met Jasmin, she even provided some training for Mouse and I on a behavioral issue he was having.

Lori and Daisy had a great time! Lori kept me informed while I was away with sweet photos and texts. My apartment was in great shape upon my arrival home. Bed linens washed and replaced, kitchen cleaned up and all dishes put away. I will definitely ask Lori to stay with Daisy in the future! 😊

I was nervous about leaving my furbabies with a stranger but Kori reassured me and kept her word by sending me daily photos (sometimes several) of my dogs and was in constant contact the whole time. The house was as clean as I left it and she even washed her sheets and towels! The next time we go out of time I hope she's available.

About: i’m a stay at home mom of a 1 year old! we love to go on walks and be outside and would love to use that time to help some families with their animals! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our home was always full of at least a few dogs and i was always helping out neighbors and friends with pet and house sitting and have loved every minute of it! i’m a stay at home mom with open availability to check on and care for your pet! i’m happy to play with your pet at your home, at a park or with walk!! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you truly trust. I’ve used Rover to find care for my own dogs, so I understand both the excitement and the nerves that come with leaving your pets in someone else’s hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own.

Amanda was great with our three Husky’s. They are all blowing their coats and she did a great job keeping up with the flying fur. Our dogs were so calm and relaxed when we got home, she did a great job of keeping me updated and I didn’t have to worry about whether or not they were well cared for during our vacation!

I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has unique needs and will work to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away.

When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home.

About: I’m not sure that there’s one specific thing that would set me apart from other caregivers however, my best buddy Trouble crossed the rainbow bridge in February. Trouble was a 13 year old Weimaraner that my daughters & I rescued during Covid. Currently, Im not ready to be a dog mom just yet but I am ready to fill the empty space in my heart! I miss having a fur baby to walk with & playing in the yard. I have experience with large breeds , rescues, and seniors. I do work a full-time job Monday through Friday but I work a hybrid schedule & on the weekends I am an early riser so I could start as early as 5 AM. I am soon to be an empty nester and recently lost my fur baby. I am looking to keep busy with some new free time! In my clients home, I will care for their animals just as they do & keeping with their routine. If their dog needs belly rubs , quiet time, snuggling time & playing with & walking, I will do it all!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats when I was younger plus I also watched my mother in laws dogs a few times while she went on vacation. I enjoy playing with them. I'm a caring, kind, loving person I love both animals and people. I believe animals should be treated with love and kindness because they are part of the family. I work part time using another app called pappa pals. It's an app.that helps take care of and assist people in their homes and I do that when I want to too plus I volunteer part time for a program called respite helping and assisting people with mental illness and keeping them company. I have a cat she stays in doors I check make sure she has fresh water and food and she loves laying on my lap I sometimes give her treats and she loves them.

Brayden did a great job. He was easy to communicate with, was familiar with our training collar, and was able to help when we made a very last minute trip. Our dog is relatively low-maintenance, but Brayden went above and beyond what we asked by taking him on walks in the evening when he was less likely to encounter other dogs (he is dog reactive). Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maximo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maximo. 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 Maximo 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 Maximo 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 Maximo 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 Maximo. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
