“Thankful to Karah for being available on such a last minute request. She was very personable and responsive that I felt comfortable leaving Timon to her care. She sends updates which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend her!”
About: I grew up loving all kinds of animals. I help my family out when they leave to vacations. I recently lost my best friend of 11 years from cancer. I am very patient and will tend to your baby as my own. I do work from home so I have the availability to tend for your best friend. I am also flexible on weekends and open to work around your schedule :) I have a huge back yard and my house is fenced. Your pet will be safe at all times. Can’t wait for all the fun :)
About: Experienced in dog/cat boarding, farm animals, ect. Worked at animal sanctuaries, boarding facilities, ect with every type of animal you can think of. Comfortable in all types of environments. Background in zoology I am felxible as most of my work is done by 2:30pm during the week. Comfortable around all types of animals and pets as well I have the ability to crate fenced off areas as well as having a private room for the animals to stay in when it’s necessary
“Becca is the best! She was very accommodating & flexible with our last minute housesitting request. She took great care of our pets & provided our dog all her medications per specific instructions. They received lots of attention & cuddle time. We felt more relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were being well taken care of by Becca. Thank you!”
“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since my family got a dog when I was a kid. Since then I’ve cared for pets for friends and family. I am currently a grad student and I’m looking for part time work. My schedule is really flexible and can walk your dog at different times in the day. I live in apartment with one dog already so I’m used to going out and walking my dog often. I like to make sure the dog I’m with feels good and isn’t bored.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, giving me firsthand experience with their unique personalities, needs, and proper care. More recently, I was a member on another pet sitting website when I was a student at a university in Paris,France, where I had experience taking care of dogs and cats in my own apartment for a few different families for a period of time. The best part about watching pets is the pleasure I get from being able to give them love while their owners were away. I am open to pet sitting weekdays and weekends. I work during the week with days off in between. Early mornings and late nights are no problem. I’ll closely follow a pets routine, providing fresh water, food as instructed, exercise/playtime, medication if needed, a safe environment, and of course lots of love and affection.
“Anna was great to have hang out with our pup. Anna was attentive, kind, and continued the training we have been working on. Anna also spent time talking with us and shared helpful tips with us as we continue our at home training regime. We look forward to seeing Anna again and we know our pup is excited as well.”
“Brianni is wonderful. She was early to our booking and was super attentive to Pinto. Pinto really took a liking to her and immediately felt comfortable around her. We also really appreciate that she kept to the schedule that we have for Pinto and kept to to his training. Book her!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs! I have experience with kittens and puppies, as well as our rescue senior dog. I have occasionally used tricks to get pets to take medication, and I am no stranger to moody pets. I also have experience with pets recovering from various medical procedures ranging from teeth removal to major surgeries. I recently moved to the city! I’m not planning to get a strict scheduled job and prefer the flexibility Rover has to offer, so my schedule is very open. I do not have any personal equipment for handling pets at the moment, so anything needed for the care of the pet must be provided by the client. I am very happy to walk, feed, play with, and just simply spend time with your pets whenever needed! So long as all the necessary care items are provided for me, I can do it!
“Jaqueline was fantastic. She stayed at my home for a week while I was on vacation, and I never once worried about my pup. She sent photo updates throughout, gave him plenty of snuggles, and — the real test — he's an early riser who sometimes wants up at 4 a.m., and she got up with him every time to keep him on his schedule. I'd book her again in a heartbeat and can't recommend her highly enough.”
About: 23 years of experience, but dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, from Chihuahuas to Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! We can talk price adjustment after the first booking 😉❤️ I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on, daily experience raising and caring for my own dogs through every stage of their lives. Having managed everything from strict medication schedules to comforting aging pets, I am highly attentive to senior care and changing health needs. I know how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and provide a low-stress, comforting environment. Your pup will get the exact same dedicated, intuitive care I give my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my week because my school and part-time job hours are highly flexible. Even though my work shift schedule changes daily, my part-time hours mean I have an abundance of free time throughout the week. Because my days are mostly clear, I can easily adapt to and strictly follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care routines without any hassle. I provide pet care exclusively within the client’s home because I believe keeping pets in their own familiar environment is the best way to reduce separation anxiety. My approach is centered on strictly maintaining your pup's established daily routine. During my stay, I follow your exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty break intervals. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping everything secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. You will receive regular photo updates and transparent communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Meganjoy’s dog sitting during our wedding! It was such a relief knowing our dog was in caring, reliable hands on such an important and busy day. Having someone we could trust to look after him allowed us to focus on celebrating without worrying. We really appreciated the care, kindness, and attention given to our pups. Thank you for helping make our wedding day that much more special! We would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful dog sitter for a wedding.”
“I'm delighted to share that Katherine provided outstanding care for our whippet, Finn. Her commitment was evident as she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to ensure Finn's well-being until we returned. We greatly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her as a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I was raised in a house that for ten years had 5 dogs, 3 cats, a sugar glider & a hedgehog! I have my fair share of working/living with animals. For the last four years I've even lived with six different cats & two dogs! They quickly became my best friends who I regularly talked to like they were people! I promise to love & treat your pets like family! I've gone my entire life living with over ten different animals & for the first time I am living without any animals & I truly miss it. Taking care of pets & even receiving attention from pets truly makes a life feel more complete & I hope I can help you with your pets as much as I'm needed because I'd benefit from it too! Ultimately, safety is the name of the game! Whatever rules you give me are the rules your pet & I will follow closely! On walks the chain will not just rest in my hand but wrap around my arm. If they need to be crated, I will ensure their crate is cozy & safe! But most importantly: They will get PLENTY of scratches & pets!
“Super great with communication and flexibility. She was great with both my pups and left my house spotless. I will be booking again and I would highly recommend her”
“Neko is a fantastic dog sitter. He’s experienced, professional and a great communicator. He went above and beyond in every aspect - providing consistent updates and extremely attentive care. Book him, you won’t regret it!”
“Olivia is the best dog sitter in town! Truly a gem! We were so blessed to have Olivia care for our Teddy while away on a 6 day vacation to Hawaii. She was always available and provided all of Teddy’s needs. I can’t express my gratitude with just words. She went above and beyond caring for our Teddy while away. Teddy has found a new best friend in Olivia. My trip was care free because I left my pup in good hands. Theres nothing better than to have peace of mind that my Teddy was being fed, walked and played with daily. I recommend Olivia for your furry friend. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Olivia! 🐶”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maywood
Audrey was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two cats, Wednesday and Mavis, for four days and stayed overnight to make sure they were well cared for. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, followed all of our care instructions, and made sure both cats were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We came home to two happy cats and a clean home! It's clear Audrey genuinely loves animals and takes pride in being a responsible, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing cat sitter or overnight pet care. We will definitely be booking her again!
Megan is absolutely wonderful! My timid cat was instantly smitten with her. He usually hides. It's truly heartwarming to see them bond so quickly. She has such a special way with animals, creating a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend her services to any pet parent.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Maywood is $49 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $49 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 15,115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maywood. 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 Maywood 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 Maywood 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 Maywood 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maywood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
