“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”
“We love Ashley! Zia and Nacho were both happy when I got home from my trip which is always a good sign. House was clean and everything was well kept. Hoping to use her again in the future!”
“Shad did a great job looking after our pups (4). He was in contact with us daily with a few short notes and photos to let us know all were well. When we came home, the house was as we left it and wagging tails. I would definitely give Shad a call back.”
“Melinda watched my dogs for a 10 day trip after another sitter cancelled. Dogs were happy and calm when I returned home and house was well kept. Thanks so much Melinda!!”
“Shannon was great with our 5-month-old Border Collie puppies for a 3-day house/dog sit. They are a handful, and both dogs and house were in great shape, upon our return. Shannon is punctual and a solid communicator. Highly recommended.”
“Erin took great care for our pups! She definitely has a great love for your pets! It is helpful to be at peace while you’re away! She also house sit as well and kept everything organized. Thank you Erin! We will use her again! She is a great pet lover! By the way Annie is a pup 4 months now!”
“Jeff is great! Very easy going in all things, except when it comes to the well being of your pet. His attention to detail there is above and beyond! Took care of my pup like a member of the family, would trust him any day to provide the best for her. Will absolutely book again.”
“Kristen was a thorough and prompt communicator and awesome with our critters! Our anxious dog and cat warmed up to her quickly and she was able to navigate a troublesome toilet issue while we were gone. She is great and we appreciated her house sitting!”
“Brigit was amazing taking care of our dogs and house while we were away for a week. We got daily updates and she was very aware of our dogs' moods and what they needed. It really made it so we could enjoy our trip knowing our girls were being taken care of.”
“Jasper is attentive, positive, caring, and fun! Appreciate the questions Jasper asked in our first meet and greet-they really captured everything. Our dog, Fennel, loves Jasper. We received just the right amount of updates from them. We would highly recommend Jasper as a pet sitter!”
“this was our first experience with Rover. Rosanna made it so easy and welcoming from the time of our meet and greet all the way through. She is prompt in communication. We were on an international trip and her presence to watch our dog at our house put us so at ease, when it felt like such a big leap to trust a stranger. We didn’t worry once, our dog Bagel adored her the minute they met and was spoiled with fun engaging care. The house was left spotless. This was a great experience and we hope to be able to work with Rosanna again in the future!”
“Holly did a great job at house- sitting our pup! She was very communicative and we didn’t worry about our dog at all. She even watered our plants for us. We would absolutely call Holly again to sit our dog in the future!”
“Oh my goodness things could not have gone any better. This was my very first time using Katherine/Rover and needing to leave my pet with someone. The whole idea of not being with my girl for an extended period was so uncomfortable to me. Katherine was so professional. She went above and beyond to help calm my nerves and make this process pleasant. It was so fantastic coming home to a well cared for home and pup. Katherine is not only kind but skilled. She made me want to look for reasons to need her again. When I was missing my girl while on the road. I had pictures and videos of her. I loved seeing my dog smile knowing she was not only ok, she was happy in in good capable hands. It was everything to us to not have to remove my dog from her home when we went somewhere she couldn't be with us. Thanks Katherine. Many thanks for a job well done. My heart is so full.”
“Claire took great care of our two new little kittens when we spent a weekend away. We really appreciated her help all weekend, and knew after meeting her that the kitties were going to be in good hands. We would love to have Claire and her kiddo help out again in the future when the need arises!”
“Adrienne was wonderfully communicative and shared sweet pics of Bootzilla while I was gone. He may like her more than he likes me! :) I've already re-booked her and will continue to rely on her services.”
“Eva was great with our two dogs. She is very communicative, prompt, and followed care instructions. We arrived to a clean home and happy pups. Would definitely book with Eva in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maywood Park
Shiloh was a fantastic sitter for my very shy, sweet cat Luna. This is the first time that I have hired a sitter through Rover, and I was very impressed by Shiloh’s attention to detail and thorough communication skills. Luna has some complicated dietary and medication needs and Shiloh was on top of all of it and kept me in the loop. Not surprisingly, Luna hid most of the time Shiloh was sitting, but they made sure to keep an eye on how she was doing the whole time and made adjustments to make sure she was eating and quickly addressed an unexpected health issue. Shiloh also was kind enough to accommodate a last minute scheduling change for my booked dates. Shiloh kept my apartment in great condition and it was exactly as I left it when I got home. Highly recommend Shiloh for cat care and pet sitting.
Melinda has been so great with our dogs, especially with our anxious pound mutt who fears the whole world. They became best buds instantly. She always leaves the house so nice, and the dogs are calm and obviously well cared for when we get home. Can't say enough great things.
This was my first time using Rover and to be honest I was a little nervous hiring someone to watch my furbabies; but Katherine did an AMAZING job taking care of our dogs and house. My husband and I were very pleased and we enjoyed our weekend getaway with zero worries. Katherine was responsive, kind, and even sent me pics of my dogs - which I loved. We will definitely be hiring her again! ☺️ Thanks so much! Neela and Rio were well taken care of.
Katie did an amazing job with my rescue Great Pyrenees who struggles with anxiety and to connect with new people in his life. She patiently worked with us to gain his trust and build rapport with him leading up to our vacation, and she did an excellent job while we were away. She is responsible and communicative and was respectful of our home, leaving things pristine. Both of our kitties loved her too, including our little old lady cat who is often wary of new folks too. Thank you so much Katie!
Mandy is the BEST! I highly recommend! She is timely and communicative and sends the cutest videos daily. I have 2 very energetic and reactive pups and Mandy is so patient and loving with them. It is so nice to feel relaxed when out of town and not worry a second about your babies being in the best of hands!
Erin responded quickly, and setup a time to meet. My dogs loved her and were well cared for!. She was very accommodating, and even stayed longer with the dogs when she did not have another pet sitting job to go to. Our home was left clean when she left. My only concern is that she is so good, I am afraid she may be too busy next time we need a sitter. One of my dog group members, whom she met up with ever day she watched my dogs, has inquired how to setup a job with her!
Claire & Summer were excellent caretakers for our little Poppy while we were on a two week vacation in Europe. They sent us plenty of photos, and even got her some toys and little dresses. Claire was very communicative & filled us in on anything we may want to know during her care of Poppy! We will definitely be using them again!
I’m so grateful for Grace! She was a great sitter—communicative, thoughtful, and flexible. My dog, Stevie, is leash reactive and I was worried she might be a bit much to handle, but Grace did so with care and kindness. I value knowing my dog was walked and loved despite her anxieties. Also, she hurt her paw while I was away and Grace was great at caring for her + communicating with me about it and how it healed (my Stevie was being a tad dramatic hahaha). Also, I loved the photos and videos I got almost everyday and would absolutely book her again. Thank you, Grace!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maywood Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maywood Park on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,501 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maywood Park. 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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.
