âAvery is amazing, even when we challenged him with a security gate issue, oops and sorry. I got updated pics, and status checks daily. We will be requesting his services again!â

âAlex is the best! Highly conscientious, a great communicator, and a real animal lover! Our dog's digestive challenges didn't faze him and he worked hard to develop a connection with her. (she's very shy and wary of strangers). At his suggestion, we had two meet-and-greet sessions and Alex took careful note of all the information we gave him. Alex left the house in perfect condition, even washing and changing the sheets on the bed. We would ask Alex back anytime! Thank you, Alex!â

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals Iâve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. Iâm always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.
About: Other than growing up with my own dogs at home, Iâve volunteered and worked at animal shelters as a kennel technician- I have a lot of patience for dogs of all types and temperaments. My childhood dog was very timid, so Iâm extra sympathetic to dogs who need a bit more personal space. Iâm a college student doing a lot of online classes. The only times Iâm needed on campus are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 am-12:30 pm, so my spare time can be happily dedicated to your dog. I will act in close accordance with any specific instructions given. If your dog is shy, I will respect their space- if they are high-energy, I am very capable of matching that too! I also have no qualms for cleaning up messes. Any concerns will be communicated asap.

âSo kind, & responsible. Went completely out of her way to care for our needy puppy while we were away on a very important trip!! Even when things came up she maintained so calm. Peace of mind was unmatched. Would hire again!!â


âFirst time I've used a house sitter, and was a little nervous, but Ella was wonderful! She made me feel very comfortable leaving my home and animals with her, and she did an excellent job of taking care of everything. She sent me updates everyday and pictures! I will call her againâ


âChristine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (weâve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! đ I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!â

About: I grew up in a household that was always full of pets. I've been responsible for cats, dogs, birds, gerbils, and many more! I'm experienced in caring for babies, seniors, and middle-aged animals. I can walk em', feed em', bathe em', give em' meds, and lots of cuddles! I'm in school during the week and I have a part-time job on weekends. My goal is to fit my pet-sitting jobs into my school schedule (Monday-Thursday) between classes. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I'm at school from 10:30am-3:30pm, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm at school from 7:30am-3:30pm. I have open availability on Fridays. I'm currently in college student housing, so I don't have the means to host your animals at my place. I'd be more than happy to take your dogs out to play in local parks or in your own backyard.

About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with small dogs, and over the years I've lived with and cared for cats and medium to large dogs owned by family, roommates, and neighbors. Today I own two cats and regularly watch friends' pets when they travel. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes and I treat every pet in my care the way I'd want mine treated. I currently work from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm able to visit at consistent times for feedings, walks, and playtime, and I'm flexible enough to adjust visit times if a pet needs extra attention or a different routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines and rules as closely as possible so the pet's environment stays familiar and low-stress. I always confirm entry/exit procedures, secure doors and gates behind me, and check that food, water, and litter are addressed on schedule. I treat each home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I stay attentive to a pet's body language and comfort level throughout each visit, always reaching out to the owner if anything seems off.

âKay is super nice and took great care of the fur kids! She went above and beyond by scooping the litter boxes, something we did not ask her to do. We even got pics of Hemi playing in the yard. It was a relief to know he, and the cats, were in good hands.â
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy and loved. I am very patient and responsible and I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether itâs going on walks or feeding them or just giving them attention I will make sure they are well taken care of. I will treat every pet like they are my own! Iâm currently a full time college student at Texas State! I only have classes Tuesday through Thursday so I have plenty of free time throughout the week. Iâm available all day Monday and Friday and on weekends! Even on days I have classes I still have some free time to help take care of your pets. I love going on walks and spending time with animals so this is something I would really enjoy doing! Iâm currently a full time college student at Texas State!

About: Please check my available hours!! I am a student currently! I interned at Bethany Pet Hospital, which had a boarding area, my senior year of highschool. Right now I am a student, on break, at Texas State University and plan to pursue vet school after I graduate. I am now living on Texas State University campus. I am available fully from Friday-Sunday. During the week, except monday, I have classes from 12-5 so, any time before and after that works for me. On mondays I only have class from 12-2. Because my dog is territorial I perfer to pet sit at your house instead of mine. My dog does go to daycare Wednesday and Friday so if needed your oet can come over. When I arrive I like to know as many details as possible like exact times for feeding and walking. If your pet is managable I can also do nail trims and baths if you provide the products. I am good at meeting you and your pets needs so just communicate what you like!
âWillow did a great job house sitting for us and watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats, they all loved her and she performed all duties we asked + gave lots of play time and walks. We will definitely book with her again!â


âWe had Brooke and Steven stay at our house for about 10 days with our dogs and rabbits while we were away on vacation. They kept the house picked up and most importantly cared about our animals. They kept in contact with me the whole time sending me messages and pictures. I felt very confident that our pets were being taken care of very well. I would have them stay at our house again and take care of our animals.â

âRegina was so great with our puppy. She was very communicative, sent pictures and videos, and truly cared about our dogâs wellbeing. I would highly recommend her for your petâs care.â

Kira did a fantastic job caring for Margo while we were away. When I arrived back home the house was clean and Margo was happy. She had fresh water and litter had been taken care of. I would recommend Kira to take care of your pets and would use her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maxwell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 3,738 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maxwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Maxwell walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Maxwell 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Maxwell 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
