About: I currently have three family dogs. Hunter (the youngest but biggest baby), Rocky (the middle child), and Bella (oldest but most sophisticated). All of which require their own routine and specialities since two of them are on the older side. I also have my own pet, Peppa Pig (a guinea pig) who also requires her own little routine. As of right now, I am completely available to take care of your pets needs at any time! Monday-Sunday I available for home check ins and daily walks. I have a car, meaning I can cater to your pets needs at any time of day. Onboarding is currently not a service I offer, but I can ensure you reliability on my end to meet any of your needs.
“J stayed with my two Bengals while I was out of town and did a great job caring for them. She followed medication instructions, cleaned up a couple of pee incidents (which is unfortunately part of life with my cats), and reached out whenever she had questions instead of making assumptions. It was obvious she genuinely liked my cats and paid attention to how they were doing. I appreciated that she noticed one of my cats allergies while I was away and texted to ask how she could help medicate if needed. I came home to two well-cared-for cats and would happily book with her again. ❤️”
“Best sitter ever! Olivia is kind, responsive and reliable... And most importantly, my dogs felt comfortable around her. Olivia sent videos and photo updates throughout the evening. This is my new go to person! 😊”
“Jehiny was available pretty last minute and made me feel so safe and secure leaving my foster dog at home alone. She sent timely updates, shared pictures, and gave us some suggestions for some difficult situations we were having with the foster. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have had pets most of my life. I had a Labrador for 6 years and a Chihuahua for 5. I’ve also had two cats for 3 years, and I’ve raised all my pets since they were little puppies and kittens. I love pampering my pets and I’d love the opportunity to pamper yours! I am currently studying at an online college so I have a lot of flexibility with scheduling pet care into my schedule. I just need 2 days notice of when to arrive so I can plan things out. My approach varies depending on the temperament of the pet (if they are high energy, low energy, timid, etc). If they are high energy and comfortable I’m happy to play with them and let them burn that energy off, if they’re lower energy or timid I’m happy to keep an eye on them and give them their space.
“Don was amazing! He sent us regular updates and photos. He took great care of our little senior puppy, medications and all! We would definitely have him take care of Sissy again.”
“This is the second time we’ve had Stella stay at our home with our dog and have been 100% happy with her stay! She’s very communicative and sends lots of pictures- I can see how much my dog likes her! And it somehow looks like nobody was even in the house when we return home. Highly recommend!”
“Megan was great! She provided thorough updates with pictures. She was timely, responsive, and committed to watching our pups while we were away. We will definitely be booking again.”
“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! 🐶”
“Rebecca was nothing short of amazing with our Lexi. She was very communicative and gave us daily updates. It made us feel very at ease being away from our girl. I normally worry and wonder if Lexi is okay with other sitters, but knowing Rebecca was there with her and was so responsive, I didn’t worry at all. She’s so good with animals and I felt like our dog was in good hands the entire time. We had her house-sit so Lexi wouldn’t be taken out of her comfort zone. Rebecca walked Lexi and even took her for a car ride. She left our house exactly how we left it, which is so appreciated. I’ve already sent her another request to house-sit again because we are so happy with her services. I highly recommend Rebecca because your animal will be in very good hands. Thank you Rebecca!”
“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.”
“Brenna stepped in for me in an urgency and was the utmost friendly, communicative and wonderful caretaker for my two pups - one big and one small. I would hire Brenna again (and plan to!) in a heartbeat. She is the best and a fantastic doggie caretaker.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have taken care of many friend and family dogs and cats. I generally love to spend time with dogs and cats. I love to give them attention, cuddles, and of course belly rubs. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I can house sit anytime between Thursday and Monday. I can walk and check in on your fur baby as many times as needed. I will follow any house rules and general rules you have for your fur baby. I will give your pet all the attention they require and keep them to their routines and habits. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of while you are away.
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: I’ve worked with Animals since I was about 10 with my own Pets and taking care of others. I love animals and I even wish to become a zookeeper in the future. So taking care of animals is what I love to do. I have a pretty flexible and open schedule. I like to be active so I can handle a high energy dog and I have a high energy dog. But I can also be lazy and lay down and slow things down for lazier dogs. I have a fenced gate with a big yard and I can watch them through the glass. I can do baths if needed I have toys and I can walk them and play with them so they can get lots of interaction.I allow dogs in my house. I do have a German shepherd but I’m able to have separate areas so dogs do not have to interact or be aware of each other
About: Hello Paw Parents, my name Is Alicia. My love for pets started when I joined a club called We ❤ Paws in High School, and we would rescue pets from our community, and we would help them find forever homes for the pets. During my time In the club, I welcome 4 pets in my home, and adopted one that became my best friend. I would like to continue taking care of furry friends, so I can play with them in my home. I'm currently working full time in the meantime, but I would love to play and take care of your pets on my days off. I am able to take care of your pets 7 days a week. I would love to take care of your pets in my home and also in landscape for example, I can take them to the park so they can do what they love which is run, walk, and play.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maywood
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.
Jen was absolutely wonderful with Bogart. She is caring and compassionate and a lovely person! She cooked for him and was patient with Bogart's needs as an 18 year-old dog. She was sending me pictures and updates regularly and he was so peppy and happy after spending time with her. I know Bogart would love to spend time with her again!
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.
Briana was punctual, friendly, and most of all great with our pets. Our dogs and cat are our children and their care and happiness is of the utmost importance to us. Briana was receptive to our requests and our dogs’ schedule, which is important as one of our dogs has a seizure disorder and requires just a little extra care and attention. Being able to go out without needing to worry that our pets are in good hands means everything to us, and Briana provided us with that peace of mind. Would definitely recommend and book again!
Georgia and Andrew were great! They took care of our dog and cats for three weeks in our home. They have great communication, and left our house in better shape that when we left for our trip. Our pets warmed up to both of them quickly, and Georgia and Andrew had excellent instincts for how to help the dog and cats acclimate to them. We would definitely call them again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maywood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maywood on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15,391 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 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 Maywood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
