“Pamela was great! She was responsive via text and left the house in perfect shape. We felt reassured knowing our pups were in good hands while we were away for a whole week!”
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”
“Jennifer was so good with my dogs! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them. We already have her scheduled for our next trip. 🙂 I would definitely recommend her!!!”
“Lulu is fantastic! She communicated well before, during and after the booking. She sent great updates and photos, and left the house looking spotless. I’ll definitely use Lulu again - can’t recommend her enough!”
“Angie was amazing and meeting her put me completely at ease! I knew our zoo was in good hands and would end up spoiled, which they were. She even left us a report card which was appreciated. Angie will be our go to sitter without a doubt!”
“Thomas was amazing with our animals. So loving and kind, they were happy and healthy when we returned. He also took immaculate care of our apartment, it was clean and tidy when we returned!”
About: Hello! I worked with animals for as long as I could remember! I use to dog sit for my neighbors since I was 10 years old until I was 17! I currently still work at a dog daycare and have been working there for about three years now! I also work for wag as well so I take care of animals on there as well! I also have dogs of my own and two cats! I’m very fortunate to be able to take care of animals and have always loved and appreciated that owners would allow me to care for there pets while they are away! I would love to help you take care of your fur babies as well! :) I work full time at a dog daycare but I mostly spend my days at home with my own dogs! I besides working 2:30 to 10:00 pm I’m always at home! I will be with your babies when I am not a work and make sure they are getting the proper potty breaks as needed! I can also come home during my break which is usually the half way mark to come and give them attention and potty breaks! I only work Tuesday-Saturday! So I’m free Sunday and Monday which I will be home the whole time! At my home I usually let dogs free roam when they come to my house but I’m perfectly fine with crating your pups if needed I do have an in home crate! I mostly spend my time going on walks and something lazing around on the couch! I always give a good amount of outside time so they can have some fun playing and enjoying the weather! I always have safety in my mind especially when it comes to being outside and other dogs to make sure they are always safe! I would love to be able to help take care of your babies while you’re away!
“Jenna was great. Super communicative, very attentive during the meet and greet, and sent regular updates for both my pets. I would definitely have her house sit again!”
“Christina was THE BEST dog and house sitter we have ever found on Rover in Kansas City. Incredibly professional, super nice, our dog LOVED HER, she left our home cared for and spotless, and sent us a ton of pulsates. 13/10, we can’t (and our pup can’t!) wait to work with her again :)”
“We were so happy to have Erika come stay with our dog! She was professional, easy to work with, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. She sent frequent photos and updates, and was quick to respond to our texts. And her flexible schedule meant our dog didn’t need to be left for any long stretches. We look forward to having Erika come back again!”
“Kristen did an awesome job watching our pets while we were gone. She was very communicative with us and we appreciated that. I will definitely be re-booking in the future!!”
“Lauren is amazing! She communicated regularly and sent pictures to us throughout our vacation. Our dog was well cared for and happy when we got home. We will absolutely book with Lauren again and recommend her to our friends!”
About: Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, your furry friend will receive all the love and attention they deserve. I prioritize safety and fun, ensuring your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and neighbors ever since high school. This has included both dog walking and dog/cat sitting. I was also a nanny to both a toddler and two dogs so I am confident that I have the experience to ensure excellent care for every pet that I take on. Let’s connect and make your pet’s day brighter! I work from home Wednesday/Friday and other weekdays I typically get home from work around 2 pm. Weekends I am completely free. I am a homebody at heart so looking for some furry friends to keep me company or get me out for my daily walk/run! I am both a huge dog and cat lover! I live in an apartment in a very pet friendly building within a great walking neighborhood. I love taking dogs along for my morning run if they need to let out some extra energy. I have no pets of my own to worry about which is why I’m looking to give yours some extra love! Totally willing to accommodate any special request such as administering medicine, maintaining a training regimen, etc.
“Baleigh took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town! She provided check-ins with pictures, which was so appreciated. We asked her to housesit as well and she left things tidy and exactly as we left things. I highly recommend Baleigh!”
“Haley was fantastic! She took great care of our two big dogs while we were out of town. She sent us pictures to keep us updated and it was clear that the boys loved her company in our absence. We didn’t have to worry about them at all while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future!”
“Maryn provided exceptional dog/house sitting services. She made sure my dog was attended to as requested, provided walks, kept the house tidy, and provided me with regular updates on my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the process seamless and worry free.”
“Adrianna was AMAZING! It was my first time leaving my dog and she was so great to send constant updates and pictures. She knew just how to approach my dog who is nervous around new people at first and by the end of the stay, my dog was loving Adrianna! Adrianna was willing to be super flexible with my unreliable flight schedule and work to accommodate any last minute changes that could arise! Highly recommend Adrianna! Thanks for the wonderful service!”
“Evelyn was great! She was super flexible with both having a meet & greet and also during the job start and end time, and excellent with administering medication for our diabetic cat. We would definitely use her services again in the future. Our fur kids seem happy and we got a ton of cute photo updates along the way.”
“Chloe was absolutely great. On time, very conscientious, My Dog Apache and Parrot Smokey Loved her, they didn't want to see her go. She left the house better than she got it and was kind enough to send pictures, video and daily updates. I would be happy to use her again, and highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maywood
Adrianna has house sat for me for years! She was a favorite of our Golden Retriever and now that he’s passed and I’ve rescued a Great Dane, she has gone above and beyond to be patient and understanding of him being unsure and slow to warm up, but she was able to make friends before long! We will be forever grateful for her!
It was such a relief knowing Samantha was at our home caring for our dogs while we were away. She shared photos of the dogs that showed how happy they were, and she seemed to truly enjoy spending tune with them! When unexpected heavy rains hit, she made sure that ask us where towels were to clean off paws. She even mopped the house prior to leaving, going above and beyond our expectations! We definitely recommend Samantha for in-home care of your pets. We hope to book with her again in the future!

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!
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.
