“Brad did well with both of our dogs from the start. Our bigger dog can be a bit anxious when strangers come into the house and Brad let her sniff him and get used to him before he tried to interact with her. He sent us several pictures throughout the week and when we returned the house was just as we had left it—-or better! We will definitely try to book Brad again when the need arises.”
“I truly can’t recommend Katie enough! From the moment we left, I knew my boys were in the best hands. She loved and cared for them like they were her own, and all of the photos and updates she sent made being away from them so much easier. It was obvious they were happy, comfortable, and getting so much love and attention. Coming home to two happy pups and an unexpectedly tidy house was the icing on the cake. She went above and beyond in every way, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave both our dogs and our home. We will 100% be booking with her again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets.”
“Amanda did a great job. Followed directions and asked good question at the initial meet. Regular updates and pups looked happy and relaxed when I returned. I’ll definitely have her back.”
“Nicole stayed with our Great Dane for a day while we were away. Our Dane doesn't typically warm up to people fast, but snuggled up with Nicole right away. She sent me pictures throughout the day and I could tell our dog really felt comfortable with Nicole! :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“madison took fantastic care of my two pups and i could not be more grateful! she consistently sent us updated with photos and my pups seemed to adore her. this was our first time leaving our dogs with someone who was not family and we were able to enjoy our vacation worry free. highly recommend madison!!!”
“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.”
“Jen is a fantastic and reliable friend to our fur-kid Gromit. She is always very responsive, even last minute, and reliable. We know Gromit loves her and enjoys his time out and about with her. Her attention to care and updating us on how he is doing via texts and photos is wonderful and we recommend her 100%!”
About: Hello Families! My name is Aaliyah, and I am a 20-year-old community college student transitioning from a career in hospital housekeeping to providing in-home care for dogs, cats, and babies. My passion for caring for all creatures runs deep, and I treat each one with the same love and attention as if they were my own. Over the years, I've gained valuable experience caring for a variety of dogs, from playful puppies to gentle pit bulls. Additionally, I have been babysitting my nephew since his birth, dedicating at least 18 hours a day to his care. He is now four months old, and this experience has enriched my understanding of infant care. I also have experience dog sitting for my neighbors while they were out of town, which has been incredibly rewarding. It brings me joy to know that I am helping families by providing peace of mind and comfort, knowing they can trust me with their beloved pets and children. If my skills and availability meet your needs, I would love the opportunity to work with your family. I am available seven days a week, from morning to overnight, and can adjust my schedule upon request. My pay rate ranges from $100 to $150 daily. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and providing exceptional care for your loved ones! Warm regards, Aaliyah I am currently looking for a job in the sitting community. I am available upon request. As well as being flexible to fit what’s best. Your fur babies will love my neighborhood. Every corner you’ll see someone with their own. If you animals don’t like others that’s okay because they’re welcome in my house as if they’re my own!
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my natural ability to understand a dog’s demeanor and adapt to each dog’s individual personality and needs. As a dog owner myself, I have hands-on experience caring for and training two dogs. I successfully potty-trained both of my dogs and taught them a variety of tricks, commands, and skills. My patience, attentiveness, and ability to build trust with animals allow me to provide personalized, compassionate care for every dog I look after. Currently I am in school part time so I have plenty of time to play with pups and give them a happy, healthy, fun day away from their family. I have two friendly pups Oreo and Ozzie that loves all animals and caring for our pups is an important responsibility because they depend on us for their health, safety, and happiness. Dogs provide unconditional love and companionship, so they deserve to be treated with the same kindness and care they give to us. That’s how I care for all animals. I truly am a lover of all pets.
“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 :)”
“When I returned from my long weekend away, my cat babies were content and seemed relaxed. Emilie was attentive to their needs and left the house as good as when she arrived! I appreciated all the photos and daily communications. I highly recommend Emilie.”
“Meghean was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Tiger and Sky, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pets. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Meghean!”
“Peyton was absolutely amazing with Axel and went above and beyond in every way! Axel is a German Shepherd with a big personality — fun-loving, energetic, and definitely a little sassy — and Peyton handled him wonderfully. She was patient, attentive, caring, and clearly made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I especially loved that she took photos of Axel while I was away. Those little updates gave me peace of mind and made it so much easier to know he was having a great time. I would highly recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. I would also be more than happy to be a reference for her if needed. Honestly, Peyton was SO great that I almost don't want to recommend her… because now I don't want to share her with anyone else! But I can't be dishonest — she’s fantastic, and Axel would be lucky to have her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mayhew
Katie was a wonderful caring and patient sitter. She communicated very well while we were away and sent lots of pictures. I have an 18 year old dog and two indoor outdoor cats. My 18 year old dog is a medium to large dog and gets around fairly well but definitely needs understanding and patience as she gets stressed when I leave. Katie was very good at all the thing Ginger needed. I came home to a clean home and calm pup and kitties. I highly recommend Katie especially for older pets. She can handle it!.
Meghean was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Tiger and Sky, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pets. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Meghean!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mayhew on Rover is $72.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,805 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.
