“I had such an amazing experience having my Luna cared for over the weekend by Audry! From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Communication was wonderful, and I really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout her care. It made being away from her so much easier knowing I could see how she was doing and that she was happy and comfortable. Overall, it was such a great experience from start to finish. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Luna received, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets. I’ll definitely be booking with Audry again in the future! 🐾”
“Taylor did an amazing job watching my dog Bugsy. She was on time, followed instructions, kept me updated on how my dog was doing and was instantly a best friend and safe person for my anxious dog. I can’t wait to have Taylor watch Bugsy again :)”
“Rebecca is a fantastic sitter who took great care of both our house and our new cat Baby Lizard. She sent us lots of photos, did face time calls when asked, stuck to our vet's dietary instructions, and gave Blizzard lots of cuddles but also just chill time and space. She also helped out with managing our home, taking out trash, cleaning litter boxes and making sure the house stayed safe while we were on our trip. We will DEFINITELY be booking Rebecca again to watch our Baby Lizzy!”
“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!”

“Daylin was fantastic! I cannot say enough great things about her. It's always nerve racking getting a new Rover person to watch your dog and stay in your home. She updated me with pictures all the time. I came home and the house was spotless. She is very respectful and quick to respond. I had to extend my trip 1 day and she was able to accommodate. I think Gypsy found a new best friend. Daylin woke up with Gypsy on the bed next to her and she never goes on the bed...Haha! If I could I would use Daylin every time I had to go out of town.”

“Yulia is a gem. She watched our dog over the holiday and provided us with plenty of pictures and videos throughout her stay. She is kind and very caring, taking our dog on multiple walks per day. Even when it was raining! She gave us the sense of security as we were out of the country. We came home to an incredibly happy, well taken pet and our home was spotless. Wish there was a rating for more stars!!! Thank you Yulia 💛”

Audry stayed for two nights looking after our two cats! She was very communicative, attentive and just an overall great person! We loved having her stay and felt at ease that our cats were very well looked after. We will definitely be using her again and I can't recommend her enough for your pets!
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
