“We couldn’t be happier with Jaime! She was absolutely amazing. Our dogs, Luna and Norman, adored her from the start, and it was clear they were well-loved and well-cared for while we were away. We came home to a spotless house — she even picked up the dog poop in the yard and washed the sheets she used, which went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Jaime again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Kayden was great! You can tell she has a way of getting pets to quickly get close with her. My pup Roman is battling isolation anxiety, and was very happy to have Kayden come by. Not only that, but she went above and beyond with updates and even keeping my house very tidy! She goes above and beyond. I am super grateful for her and will be rebooking :)”
“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.”

I’m comfortable with all dog types and have a soft spot for senior pups.

I work remotely while completing my MBA, with the most flexibility Friday through Sunday. I’m available for drop-ins, recurring weekend walks, and overnight or extended stays with advance planning.

About: I’ve taken care of majority of species for years. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats at home, so i definitely am comfortable with them. I work either daily from 12-2:30 then 5:30-8:30 at one job or i work 7ish-3:30ish ( schedule varies) I have downtime the rest of the day. My animals get fed daily before work and 5pm daily. My dogs are walked 3-4 times a day and fed twice. We let them out just not in the cats room. Cats free roam other than the kitten when we are not home. They are fed twice a day. i clean out the litter box every other day.
About: I lived with my 2 pit bulls throughout all of high school. They are a handful and there would be many nights were I would have to take care of them on my own and by doing this I was able to pick up everything you need to know about a dog. When they need to go to the bathroom, how to feed them, how to walk them, playing with them, and bathing them. I was able to pick up all of these skills along with many more from taking care of my dogs back home. There is nothing I haven’t seen with dogs and there’s not a dog I’ve met that I haven’t been able to take care of, I also love all dogs! Right now I’m only talking 2 summer classes online for the next couple of months so I will be very open and have time to take care and provide all the attention in the world to your dog(s). I have a collar and leash I can walk your dog out in and out of the house with. My backyard is not fenced but there is plenty of room for your dog to roam around while I have him leashed. I have a pretty big, open house that he can run around in and do have a crate if needed.
“Having Isabella at our house was such a huge relief. We were gone for a week and she sent lots of pictures of our dogs and stayed in contact with me the whole week. It provided such a peace of mind knowing our dogs and our home were well cared for so we could enjoy our family vacation! I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Kirsten (and Andi) are wonderful pet-sitters! Our lab loved having the company of another dog during his weekend stay, and Kirsten kept us updated with lots of photos of their many adventures. I felt most at easy, knowing that Kirsten was giving our guy plenty of play-time and snuggles - his 2 most favorite things. As a new member of Rover, Kirsten made the whole process so easy. 10 out of 10 and will use again! Thanks again, Kirsten!”
“Ashley was amazing! I couldn’t have had a better sitter. She was really sweet and cared for my dog as if he was her own. She sent me pictures of him and the communication was outstanding! When I came home and walked in my house it felt cozy and was cleaner than it was when I left. I highly recommend her and I will definitely have her back again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mayhew
Addison was an amazing pet and house sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dog and home while we were away and gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She even went above and beyond to make his birthday special while we were gone, which meant so much to us! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a tidy home, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely recommend Addison and would love to have her watch him and our home again!
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.
We had a great experience with Jordan. She took extra care of Sage and made sure she was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. She kept us updated regularly, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She also treated our home with respect and kept everything clean and in great shape. It made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and attentive.

The average cost of House Sitting in Mayhew is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $111 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
