About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko! I would love to meet you and help with your pet care needs! I'm currently available part-time, on Monday- Friday from 9:00 am- 1:30 pm. I would be happy to work around your schedule as much as possible! I have a fenced in yard and pets of my own. I understand each pet has their own personality and needs tailored to them. I will be an active listener and always treat and care for your pets according to your wishes!

Sara is truly a great sitter. She took very good care of my senior dog. I told her and he showed her all of the issues that he has and she handled them with great care which put me at ease. I'll definitely be using her again.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every size and personality since I was 14, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me because I’m patient, gentle, and really pay attention to what each dog needs. I’m great with shy or anxious pets, and I know how to keep energetic dogs active, happy, and safe. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or baths, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for the entire time you’re away. Your fur baby will always be my priority. I’m a nursing student with a very flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I plan my classes and study time around my bookings, which means your pet always gets my full attention. I love having animals as part of my daily routine, and I’m happy to adjust to whatever schedule your fur baby needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort mean everything to me. I take my time to learn what each fur baby needs so they always feel calm and cared for. I keep a clean, peaceful environment and follow your routines closely—feeding, walking, litter care, meds, anything they need. Whether I’m in your home or mine, you can trust that your pet will be loved, watched closely, and treated gently every moment they’re with me.

I can see why Sarina has great reviews and repeat clients. She is very responsive and respectful. My husband arrived home a day before I did and said everything looked great and the pups were happy. One of ours needs eye drops and oral medication and that was no problem. We will try to book Sarina again.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well. Even though every dog is different, I am able to provide adequate care and attention to every fur baby that I have the privilege of looking after. I am currently a student and have plenty of down time when I am not at school. This includes Fridays and Weekends and I can be pretty flexible with time! I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.

Kayla was great— very communicative, professional, the type of person who you trust will take good care of your pup. We had travel issues crop up while Kayla was slated to take care of our dog & she just rolled with it. We would be happy to work with her again!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for more than half my life. I love going on long walks on trails, and cuddling on the couch with my dog back home. I have experience with young and senior pets. I will provide daily updates to make sure your pet is in safe hands! Feel free to ask any questions. I will do my best to make sure all accommodations are met. I am in school full time, but have weekends free and as well as MWF. Tuesdays and Thursdays I can check in on pets from 6am-10am and 4pm- till 11pm. I can board pets with me on occasion and pet sit whenever needed. I have an apartment with a dog yard to make sure pets can run around fenced in and have time to destress. I can walk pets, and make sure all dietary needs are met. I also live next to a 3 mile trail which can be used with pets.

About: I've had animals since I was ten. I have lots of friends who work high-travel jobs, so I have years of experience taking care of their pets while they are away. I love animals and I love giving their humans the peace of mind that their best friend is safe while they are away. I'm currently working part time, so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. I work M/W afternoons and Sunday mornings, but otherwise I'm available during the morning, afternoon, and evening. I sometimes substitute teach as well, so more notice is always better in terms of scheduling your pet's care. I cannot keep animals in my home at this time, but I am happy to maintain a clean, happy, and healthy environment for your pet in your home. I can offer regular walks, potty breaks, and playtimes to keep your best friend from getting lonely while you are away.

Since I work remotely from home, I have the flexibility to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. That allows me to give dogs regular attention, take them on walks, provide playtime, and make sure they stay on their normal feeding and potty schedule. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so caring for them doesn’t feel like a chore! it’s something I look forward to. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. Since I work remotely, I’m home most of the time, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Jessica was amazing! She kept us informed and sent pics! she was so sweet and kind and I know our pupps loved her. The next day when she was gone they went straight to her “room” when they woke up. That made me so happy knowing they were very well loved on. She even made sure the floors and bedding were clean when we came home and left the sweetest pup report cards! I hope she will always take care of our babies🩵

I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets when you can't be there. As a pet owner, I know that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Some pets love playtime and lots of attention, while others prefer a calm companion and a familiar routine. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience by helping your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to provide attentive care tailored to their needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the same level of care and affection that I would want for my own pets. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member can be stressful, which is why communication is very important to me. During each visit, I'll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to carefully follow all care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life till i moved to college when I was 18. After that, I worked at a doggie daycare where I worked with large groups of dogs, helped socialize reactive dogs, exercised overactive dogs, and looked after boarded dogs for long periods. I'm currently a full-time student and looking for a part-time job. I am free early in the morning before class and in the afternoon to give all your pups the attention they need and deserve. I can't board in my apartment, but I can dog-sit in the comfort of their home base. I provide attentive, reliable care for every pet, focusing on safety, consistency, and making sure they feel comfortable in their own environment. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and secure. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I treat every animal like they’re my own.

Riley was great. My Bentley is young and in the middle of potty training. Riley continued to work with him during his stay and took the necessary time and patience needed. This took a lot of late nights and early mornings. I cant say enough how happy we were with the time he put in with Bentley. He left the house in pristine condition and followed up with a call to summarize the week. Riley is awesome and we will continue to use him in the future when available.

FAQs for House Sitting - Maytown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maytown. 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 Maytown 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 Maytown 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 Maytown 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maytown. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
