“Brad was excellent! He sent photos everyday. The house looks the same as we left it, maybe even better. He handled giving my dog oral medications well. He also helped coordinate a dog door installation which was unexpected. I would highly recommend Brad for your house sitting needs as the dogs were well cared for and safe.”
About: Pet care is my full time job, so I have open availability! I am also a proud owner of a fully trained German Shepard. I’m open to doing dog walking/playtime, day sitting and overnights! I’m a full time student graduating in criminal justice with bachelor degree this coming summer 2027 who is responsible and dependable. All prices are negotiable depending on the needs. I’ve been a pet lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old. I’m 22 yrs old now and a proud owner of a 5 yr old German Shepherd who is fully trained. I believe all animals deserve one on one attention, care, & Love. I care for pets by making sure their basic needs are met first. Along with assuring each pet is happy and are enjoying their time with me. So much that I want them to be excited with just hearing my name. Whether in my home or at a clients home I follow any specific care instructions, maintain a clean space and provide consistent attentions, love and care to help pets feel safe and happy in my presence.
“We are so glad we found Zaria to watch our two dogs. She stayed at the house and not only took great care of the dogs but also our home. The dogs loved her. We can’t recommend Zaria enough.”
“Lauren did a phenomenal job with our fur babies. From the time she replied to our request she took the time to listen and understand our challenges. Then she came over and took the time to familiarize herself with both of our babies ensuring there wouldn’t be any issues. Great job and great person.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have such a love for them. I know that dogs are more than just pets-they are part of the family! My family has had basset hounds for my whole life, so I have seen and loved them at every stage of life. I’ve done my share of dog care for them, including walking, feeding, giving medicine, ear-care, and brushing fur (my dog’s personal favorite)! I have also taken care of friends’ dogs, ranging all sizes and ages, when they have been out of town as well! I’m currently a teacher on summer break so I have a pretty open schedule! I can be very flexible with what times I am needed and if you need me to be very specific at the times I take care of your pets I will absolutely do that-I know lots of doggos need or get used to certain times for care! If you let me know what areas for walking are at your home, I am happy to follow whatever route you normally go on or would like for them to-same if you have a neighborhood dog park! I’m very active so I’m happy to walk/run with them as far as they need! If you need assistance with my giving them food and/or medicine, just let me know where it is and how much to give and I am happy to do that!
“Elizabeth has been taking excellent care of my pets for sometime and I feel so lucky to have found her on rover! I feel very secure when she is at my house and love the photo updates. My pets always seem so happy when I get home! Highly recommend Elizabeth.”
“Caitlin always takes such great care of our babies! She is great at giving updates and I always have such peace of mind leaving my girls with her. She is also a great house guest and leaves our house spotless every time. Our fur babies are always so calm and happy when we return and we can tell that they have been well cared for and loved on. I definitely highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter! 😊”
“Outstanding! Kept me informed with text and pictures. Also, as requested, took Stella to the dog park when weather permitted. Just as I was leaving for the airport, I remembered Stella was due for her heart worm/flea/tic tablets. To my embarrassment I found I had none. Brendan took charge, pick up the tablets, gave one to Stella and made sure she ate it all. You can be confident your pets will be well taken care of by Brendan.”
“Edelyn was amazing with our 2 dogs! Kept us photos and updates! House was so neat and sheets washed! Bedding was made up perfectly! She will definitely be back to stay with our dogs again!!”
About: I grew up in a house where there were always more paws than feet. From the time I was born through my years in high school, I was the designated caregiver for our family pets and the "go-to" sitter for neighbors and friends. Having owned and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, I understand that pets aren't just animals—they’re family members with their own unique personalities and routines. What Sets Me Apart I am a Senior Software Engineer currently working remotely, which means I offer a level of reliability and structure that is hard to find. I’m a regular at the gym and love staying active, so if you have a high-energy dog that needs a long walk or a vigorous play session, I’m your guy. My Care Style Reliable Communication: I’m tech-savvy and organized; you’ll get regular updates, photos, and quick responses. Multi-Pet Expertise: I’m comfortable managing households with multiple animals (including cats!). Active & Attentive: Whether it’s a focused walk or just some quality couch time for a senior pet, I adapt to what your pet needs most. I’m currently between projects and have plenty of availability to provide your pets with the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! If you want to see more of how I take care of my own personal dogs, they have their own Instagram called Pinero_Pups, take a look! I am a tech professional currently in a career transition, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule and am home for the majority of the day. Unlike a standard 9-to-5 sitter, I am available to provide constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions. Whether it's a weekday or a weekend, your pet will be my primary focus, and I can easily adapt to their specific feeding and exercise routines. Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, safety is my top priority. My home environment is pet-friendly and well-organized, and I am experienced in managing multi-pet households (including both dogs and cats). I am a firm believer in clear communication; you’ll receive consistent photo updates and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. In my care, your pet will have: A Secure Environment: I am diligent about door safety and leash security during walks. Active Supervision: I’m a regular at the gym and love staying active, so I have the energy to keep up with high-energy breeds. Personalized Attention: I respect each pet's boundaries—whether they need a vigorous game of fetch or a quiet corner to nap in.
“Danielle watched my toy fox terrier in my home for 5 days. She was so professional and caring. She did not blink and my detailed instructions, gave me great updates throughout the stay, including noting details of my dog's behavior. When I arrived home yesterday my dog looked fabulous and so did my home. So thankful I found her. Highly recommend.”
“Lisa was fantastic! She was so nice and friendly during the meet and greet and before the stay. She took such good care of the dogs and our home! She sent daily photos and was always quick to reply. We will absolutely book Lisa again and highly recommend her!”
About: •IF YOU WANT CHEAPER RATES OR A DISCOUNT PLS ASK! I’m open!• I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since 2017, providing pet sitting, dog walking, overnight care, boarding, and drop-in visits for family, friends, neighbors, and clients. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I have experience maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior and health, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences so they receive personalized care. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their families. 🐾❤️ I currently work a flexible part-time schedule, typically only 4 hours per day (either 9 AM–1 PM or 1 PM–5 PM), which allows me to dedicate the majority of my time to pet care. I am available on weekends and am often off several days throughout the week as well. Because of my flexible schedule, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, drop-in visits, overnight care, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Pet care is a major priority for me, and I make every effort to accommodate each pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, or regular check-ins throughout the day, I have the flexibility and availability to provide dependable, attentive care. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For dogs, this includes regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, feeding according to their schedule, fresh water at all times, and plenty of affection and companionship. For cats, I ensure feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are kept clean, and they receive the attention, playtime, or quiet companionship they prefer. I am comfortable administering basic medications as directed by owners and carefully monitoring pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. I also help maintain a clean environment by cleaning up accidents, washing food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, and keeping pet areas tidy. If caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect. I can bring in mail or packages, water plants, follow household routines, and help keep your home secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
“Very communicative and loved on my pup the way we would! So comfortable having her in our home and loved the pics she sent so we continued to know he was in good hands!”
“Autumn was amazing! My puppies and kitty cat had the best care while I was gone! I didn't think twice about their care because I knew how well taken care of they were. The house looked fantastic, and Autumn even brought in the mail, even though I had not specified that. The effort and the documentation were well above and beyond what I expected. Highly Highly recommend Autumn!”
“Hannah was great with our dog from day one on. She dog and house sat for 1 week. Our pup was tail up and happy. Hannah sent several pictures of their adventures together. I would recommend Hannah”
“Lillian did an awesome job watching Scarlett over the weekend. Scarlett can be pretty anxious and high energy, so I’m always a little cautious leaving her with someone new, but she took to Lillian right away, which says a lot. Lillian was very responsive the entire time and clearly put in the effort to work with Scarlett, not just watch her. That meant a lot to me knowing she was in good hands while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future.”
About: My favorite childhood memories are that with my German Shepherds Carson and Lady and my Chihuahua Nukiums. When in college I dog walked and pet sat my boss' French bulldog Beatrice and her lovely cat Ms. Kitty. Though Ms. Kitty only used me for a quick rub and for me to fill her bowls, Beatrice and I went on plenty of errands together. Currently I have a Silky Terrier named Rocky, a cat named Nipsey (who hides from visitors:), a rabbit named Daisy and two pet loving children who would love to have playdates with your furry family member. My kids and I have lots of energy. We are used to walking Rocky and letting him play in the backyard several times a day from 6am-9pm. If you would like a friendly dog walker, or someone to check on your cats I would love to help! I even enjoy watering plants and taking care of exotic pets if needed. I am a teacher so I am off during the summer and would otherwise add your pet care and checkins into my daily routine. I also have two kids ages 8 and 14 who love animals and will sometimes ask to come along and help out. I usually walk my dog once a day and let him enjoy the backyard for 5-15 minutes (depending on the weather) three times a day. However, I prefer to cater to your schedule which is why I usually request to have a meet and greet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mayhew
We could not have asked for a better experience! Caitlin took amazing care of Romeo and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely loves dogs. Romeo absolutely adored her and we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She also took care of our home. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.
Jennifer stayed a couple of nights with my lab mix, Milo, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Milo can be a bit particular, especially with new people but Jennifer won him over almost immediately. It was clear she took the time to understand his personality and needs, and she picked up on how to use his e-collar quickly and confidently. I also really appreciated how respectful she was of my home—everything was left exactly as she found it. On top of that, Jennifer was excellent with communication. Since I’m new to having someone stay overnight to care for my pet, her updates and responsiveness gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and attentive pet sitter.
Nicole is a great sitter! She was respectful of my space and took good care of my dogs. She seemed a little overwhelmed by Parker’s puppy energy but she rallied and made it work. I do wish she provided more frequent updates and pictures like some other sitters I’ve used but, overall, she’s a great sitter. I’d definitely book her again, especially for Preston who’s an older, more mellow dog.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mayhew
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mayhew on Rover is $72.15 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 2,844 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mayhew. 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 Mayhew 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 Mayhew 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 Mayhew 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.

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.
