“Chaselyn is great! Leaving wolfdogs can be incredibly stressful but Chaselyn completely put our minds at ease while we were away overnight in Seattle. She took amazing care of Fenrir and Althea, handled them with confidence and kept us updated the entire time. It is rare to find someone so capable. Trustworthy and attentive with large, high needs-dogs. We returned home to two happy, relaxed pups. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Kathrine was amazing! She took great care of dogs and home while we were away. We would book with her again! She sent updates of our dogs each day, followed all instructions that were left, and our dogs felt safe and happy! She went above and walked them often while we were gone and even helped our pup that wasn’t feeling well in the middle of the night. She was wonderful!”

“I needed a dog sitter at the last minute due to a family emergency. I was thrilled that Shayla was available and willing to help us out. I was 800 miles from home, so she had to coordinate with my husband beforehand. Everything went well, and I will definitely reach out to her again for help.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy as a dog sitter, and I can't express enough how impressed I am with her level of preparedness and experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a deep understanding of canine behavior and care. A delightful bonus was when Wendy brought her sweet dog, Honey Pie, along. My dogs got along wonderfully, and Honey Pie's friendly demeanor made the transition smooth for my dogs. It was heartwarming to see them all play together. Wendy’s extensive experience with dogs was evident in everything she did. She was well-prepared with all the necessary supplies and created a safe and engaging environment for my pets. It gave me peace of mind knowing that my dogs were in such capable hands.”

“Sarah was fantastic and I will absolutely request her services again! I was nervous to leave about leaving my dogs for the first time; they are both rescue dogs with separation anxiety and used to a very consistent routine. She took the time to come meet them ahead of time and go over their needs with me. She was very communicative, sent multiple check-ins and photos, and was quick to clarify details if she was unsure about something. They both took to her right away. She was the perfect fill in for "mom" while I was away. Thank you so much! We will definitely reach out again in the future!”

About: I grew up with 5 dogs and have been watching after dogs and cats for the last 15 years for friends and family. I always prioritize fun and walks :) I'm currently working part-time for myself growing my small bakery business. I can easily work around your schedule to be there any day/time of week as needed. I am going on 5 years of full-time vanlife so all overnight visits will be in your home. I will go over every detail of visits with you to ensure your pet(s) are comfortable and are able to stick to their routines.
“Cely and Jordan took amazing care of Ruby and our house while we were out of the country for a week. We appreciated their regular communication through the app because we didn't have cell service, and when we got back Ruby was clearly comfortable with them and being her playful self. They also watered our yard to keep our plants alive and left the house tidy. We'd recommend them to anyone and would definitely work with them again!”


“We are so happy with the loving care ty got. We booked last minute and they were so accommodating and great with the cat and provided updates and photos to make us feel at ease”

“Very caring and attentive. Lots of photos and videos to keep my nerves at bay. Great communication. Very caring provider. Pecan was very relaxed when I returned home, which is a sign she was well cared for.”
“Terry was incredibly accommodating, communicative, thoughtful and immediately bonded with our new rescue pup, Goose! He was very respectful of the house and made our time away an easy one because we never had to worry about the caliber of care our dog was receiving. Will hire again and recommend with no reservations!”

About: I grew up with every sort of animal imaginable, and I'm always happy to spend time with all the cats, dogs, birds, and other critters out there when I have the chance. I have extensive experience caring for animals all over the world including off-grid, remote, and city environments. I am semi-retired and location independent. My schedule is highly flexible, and I'm happy to work with pet parents on making mutually agreeable pet care schedules. I am happy to stay with pets in their own homes to ensure that they get the care and attention to which they are accustomed.

“Dawn is amazing!!! I have already booked her for another time:) My dog Brody has epilepsy and needs medication 4 times a day. He’s very high maintenance and Dawn understood this and put my mind at ease when I was away. She text updates and even included photos and videos! If you need a sitter, definitely book her!!!”

About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 4 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work two to three days a week for no more than 4 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 7 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night. I do host up to 3 dogs at a time and have a small pup of my own, so I ask that your dog is well socialized.
“Kat is hands down the best sitter we have ever had. As someone who has done Rover for 10 years myself, and has had trial and error with sitters before, I can honestly say she is the absolute best! Both of our dogs were smitten with her from the moment she walked in the door for a meet & greet. She sent the cutest photos, gave great updates, and really tailored her attention to each dog’s needs. She was sweet, polite, so clean that she left no footprint, incredibly caring and prompt! She stayed with our pups later than planned after our flight got delayed multiple times. She even left the sweetest note and Polaroids from her stay! 110% going to be using her time and time again!”
About: I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment. I’m patient, reliable, and always pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs gentle care, I adjust my approach to make them feel comfortable. Im currently working remotely and part time, so I have plenty of time to make pet care part of my daily routine. Great help for you and for me I create a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and happy. I keep a consistent routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quiet rest periods. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level, and adjust activities to fit their personality.
About: I’ve had various types of pets since I was a kid. I love taking care of animals and getting to hang out with them. I can’t wait to meet yours! :) I am currently working part time and I can take care of pets before or after work. My availability is rather open, though I do have more openings in the evening. I can pet-sit overnight most days of the week :) I have a medium/large fenced yard, which is perfect for playing fetch in! I also go on walks regularly around my neighborhood and would love to take your pets with me :)
About: With me, your pup is never competing for attention. I provide exclusive, one-on-one care so they feel safe and at home. I’ve cared for dogs for over 12 years, including Italian Greyhounds, Dachshunds, Whippets, Chihuahuas, Poodles, Border Collies, and Terriers. My lifestyle is quiet and calm, which makes me especially attuned to sensitive, low-energy, and senior dogs who need a little extra understanding. My own dog, Clark, a whimsical and willful 12-year-old Poodle, recently passed from mitral valve disease which progressed to congestive heart failure. While this is sadly common in Poodles and other small breeds, it’s never enough time to say goodbye. Dogs will always be a part of my life, and I’d be honored to welcome yours into a calm and nurturing home. Through supporting Clark, I became deeply experienced in senior care- administering oral medications, monitoring for signs of distress, and creating a peaceful environment where he could feel safe and loved. I’m comfortable with medication management, light grooming (teeth brushing if tolerated, baths, and nail trims), and I keep essentials like pee pads, a litter box, and a playpen for dogs who are dual-trained or prefer enclosed rest. I also have a backpack carrier for pups under 15 lbs who like to come along on errands. I live near downtown Seattle, so I’m very vigilant during walks. I keep dogs on a close leash when needed, and for small dogs I’ll scoop them up if a large dog, bike, or scooter is approaching or when crossing busy streets. Safety is always my top priority. I’m typically home all day, and if I do step out, it’s never for more than 3–4 hours. I know the local emergency vets in Seattle and can quickly recognize signs of illness or stress. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that feels like an extension of your own love for your dog. Since I’m currently in school remotely, I’m home all day to provide attention and care. I may run errands but takes no more than 3-4 hours. If your pet is under 15lbs, I can Carry them in my backpack pet carrier and they can come with me. My apartment building is very secure. A fob is required on entry. The building is quiet and I like to keep a short leash upon entering and leaving.
About: Hello! My name is Patrick, although my friends refer to me as V. I have a TrustedHouse sitters profile that I am primarily on & have over a dozen 5* reviews which I can show when asked! I’m originally from the South and grew up in rural Texas on my family’s farm. From my early adult years until now (30), I’ve been traveling around the country & have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and be exposed to so many different lifestyles! Because of that, I am very flexible with a lot of different quirks in people, places & animals. Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up around farm animals, and later on, cats and dogs became a consistent presence in my home & especially my travels the last 8 years I had a cat named Tulip, who was my best friend and travel companion for the past eight years. She recently passed after a long, full life with me. Because of that loss, I’m not quite ready to welcome a new pet of my own just yet. Instead, I’ve chosen to spend this time loving and caring for other people’s animals, which has helped fill the space she left in my heart. Corny I know! But she really was my best friend & my only family I’m a very clean and respectful person (I actually enjoy tidying up!) and will always leave your space better than I found it. I like to send walkthrough videos before you coming home so you have the peace of mind of knowing for a fact you’re coming home to a clean home. Since I’m self-employed and work remotely, your pets will never be left alone for long…they’ll have company, playtime, and affection throughout the day & night. I’m also happy to send updates or photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I do not smoke, do drugs or have a strong desire in going out. I’m a bit boring in that I like being a homebody as I appreciate solitude & peace; nature is the biggest motivator for me as well as pleasant places to walk. I am big on communication & work best with clear guidelines from both yours & my side. I raised tulip on a structured routine since we did travel so much so I really appreciate those who have their own animals on structured schedules. Not mandatory of course, but I do think it plays a positive effect on the animals life - especially when a stranger is taking care of them it usually helps with their anxiety. I’m always happy to meet ahead of time so you can feel comfortable with who you’re entrusting your pets and home to. Speaking from personal experience, knowing the person caring for your animals makes a huge difference in reducing stress and anxiety. I am a fulltime house/petsitter & use other apps as well so if you’d like to see my profile on other places let me know! And even if we cannot meet in person, I am more than happy to get on video calls, phone calls etc as it’s extremely important for both of us to get a feel for each other If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out, I’d love to connect! I am self employed and work completely remote so I am able to fit the needs of the animals I am currently taking care of before anything else in my schedule and work around your pets needs. Because I traveled for so many years with my cat & taking care of such big dogs, I have become very in tune with the needs of animals & how to ensure they have an enriching environment; as well as knowing how to read their body language and help them relax during stressful situations. I find consistency best for pets especially when they’re anxious about new people — it helps them relax a bit so I do my best at providing as much structure as possible

About: Since being on my own, I have had some fur baby in my life. Both puppies and elders will be well loved here. We have a deep relationship with our own animals. All are fully vaccinated and attend their annual health checks. We also love on them when they ask us to, meeting their mental health needs as well. Husband is still working from home with no return to the office in sight. And we are a currently a multi-generational home. There will always be some human here to care for your furry family member. We have a huge, secure, fenced backyard and two dogs of our own. Your pup will be well exercised here and will come home exhausted (and maybe a little dirty). We also love cuddling with our fur babies, and will welcome any (reasonably sized) dogs onto our bed if that is where they feel comfortable, or we have room for a crate or any dog bed you want to bring. We feed our pooches 3x a day. But we find that most guests have a 2x per day routine, and will continue to hold your home routine. We also give oral medication to one of our pups, once a day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,308 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maynard. 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 Maynard 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 Maynard 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 Maynard 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.
