About: Hi! While I absolutely adore all small and medium-sized dogs, I am a certified dachshund enthusiast! I specialize in doxies and understand their unique personality quirks and back-safety needs. I am equally experienced and comfortable with all medium breeds.I can’t wait to meet your pup and provide a fun, safe summer vacation for them! As a school teacher on summer break, pet care is my primary focus every single day. My completely open schedule allows me to stay at your home for house sitting or provide midday walks without the constraint of a 9-to-5 job. I use my natural knack for teaching structure to seamlessly maintain your dog's normal eating, sleeping, and potty routines. I focus entirely on keeping your small or medium-sized dog safe, active, and comfortable using your own preferred supplies. During house sittings, I provide full-time companionship, protect breed-specific needs like dachshund back safety, and respect your property. You will also receive regular photo and text updates every morning and night so you can relax knowing your pup is happy.
“Sarah took great care of our kitty and our home. Our cat can be skittish and anxious around new people, but she they immediately vibed so well! We could tell in our daily updates that she was having so much fun and bonding with Sarah.”
“Harrison was pretty much everything we’ve ever wanted in a dog sitter. He was patient with our youngest who takes some time to warm up to people, and really took the time to make our dogs and us feel comfortable. The txt updates every time he went and tended to them really had us at ease on our trip. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for any help with their furry loved ones.”

“Cambria took awesome care of our two cats while we were away! She’s professional and responsive, and we appreciated the updates and photos. Our cats look forward to seeing her again!”
“Aileen was so good with my dogs. She sent lots of update photos and kept in touch. My dogs are on the shy side but they warmed up to her very fast. She is so sweet and my dogs loved her will definitely be booking whenever they need a sitter!”
About: Since I was 12 I have had pets of my own. Growing up I was always the one in my family to take care of our family animals. When I was in high school I volunteered at YAPS an animal shelter for dogs and cats. Now for the last 5 years I have had my babies, a dachshund and an all black cat. I am currently working part time while going to school for nursing and have the free time to take care of others pets. I am free Friday-Sunday and mainly Tuesday and Thursday after 3:00pm and Monday and Wednesday from 12-4:30 Your pet and their safety will always be my top priority. I believe consistency is key to keeping your pet feeling safe and comfortable so whatever your routine is at home I will try my best to keep that same routine.
About: Although I dont have any pets myself, I have had plenty experience working and taking care of cats and dogs. I am more than qualified to help because I am patient, and passionate about caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule I usually work weekends part time at a restaurant so I have the time to be able to walk or feed any cat or dog any day of the week. I dont have any pets myself so that would give me the time to be able to help take care of others. It depends on the standards of the owner, with dogs its important to walk them with a secure leash and make sure to let them walk around and sniff before doing their bussiness, I will always pick up after them to ensure a clean neighborhood. With cats and dogs you want to make sure to open the door slowly when walking inside and keep them indoors so they are safe.
“Marilyn was able to house sit and stay with my 2 pups and manage their daily walking and eating routines while I was out of town. I trust her to both take care of my pups and respect my home boundaries. Please note providing a general schedule will help manage expectations So Marilyn is also able to manage her daily routine and personal responsibilities outside of my home. I Would reccomended her for your future needs 🙂”
“andy stayed in our home and watched our 3 cats and 1 dog for a couple of days/nights and i would hire him again in an instant! he was so quick to respond, highly communicative, followed my detailed instructions, asked questions when needed, and sent so many photos, videos, and updates! we’ve tried a few different sitters (pros and friends) and he’s definitely one of the best. i highly recommend him for your pets!”
“THE BEST, book her! My boy is a little monster (standard poodle) and she had so much love and care for him and his brother. And she left my home in pristine condition. Thanks Maiya!”
“Tony was excellent. We were out of town for 11 days, he sent us updates and photos. He is an amazing communicator. Our flight canceled coming home and I had my sister go pick up the dogs, she said that the dogs were so calm and happy. He also left my house spotless. I couldn't be more happy with Tony's services. We will be going out of town a few more times this year, Tony will be our FIRST choice, nd hopefully only choice. We couldn't be more happy with the respect and love he gave to our home and our dogs. Thanks Again Tony.”
“Lindsey was incredible with our fur babies! She was very attentive to their needs including caring for one of our pups that was in heat. She was very thorough in learning their schedules and how to best care for them. She sent great updates and pictures. Will definitely be booking Lindsay again! 😁”
“Eliana took great care of our babies and our home! We felt confident leaving them in her care based on her calm, kind demeanor and the insightful questions she asked during the meet and greet, which showed her knowledge and intuition for animal behavior. She kept in great contact and was even a great sport about some circuit breaker issues that popped up while we were away. Reliable, responsive, and very sweet with our precious pets!”
“I am so happy we had Cadence dog sit for us! She is so professional and sent us updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving her with our dog. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ask Cadence to sit for us again; she was fantastic. Our dog was clearly a happy gal!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marigold
Cadence is the scardie cat whisperer!! This was our first time leaving our kitties and we informed Cadence of our worries. She reassured us they would be taken care of, and she was not lying. Krusty and Luna NEVER come out for strangers. We received updates, pictures and videos of the kitties daily and were so happy to see them thriving. She cared for them like they were her own. She cared for our special needs kitty who is very low vision and met him at his level. We honestly were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were cared for by Cadence 💓💓💓💓💓
Andy is above and beyond an amazing pet sitter!! Instantly my dog felt comfortable and Andy sent updates and pictures and even asked questions to clarify which was very respectful. Andy is trustworthy, understanding and very respectful my dog found a new best friend!! I highly recommend Andy!!
They did a great job of watching my dogs for me in my home. The dogs loved them immediately and wanted to spend the entire time playing or cuddled up with them. They were also really quick to respond to my last minute message requesting a booking. I really appreciate them being able to watch them and doing such a great job. I would book again.
We loved Abby as well as our Dog Charlie. It was our first time using her but we immediately felt she would be the perfect fit. She was sweet, smart and very respectful. I could tell she loved animals. When you leave your pet with a stranger you worry about them but I could sense that our dog felt very comfortable with her. When we returned home after being gone 3 days she left a nice note and had done the laundry. That was really above and beyond.
Jacen was an amazing sitter for my 3 boys!! I recently adopted one of my cats so I’m still in the process of introductions and Jacen understood the importance of keeping my cats separated but giving them all playtime. He was very caring and loving to my cats, even my big grumpy boy didn’t hide as much as usual! Jacen was also super flexible with my schedule, I had to travel for the birth of my brother and sister-in-laws first baby and he was so accommodating with the changing dates. Thank you so so much!! I would recommend all my friends to rely on Jacen for animal care, and I plan to ask him to watch my cats again when I travel.
Lindsey was incredible with our fur babies! She was very attentive to their needs including caring for one of our pups that was in heat. She was very thorough in learning their schedules and how to best care for them. She sent great updates and pictures. Will definitely be booking Lindsay again! 😁

FAQs for House Sitting - Marigold
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marigold on Rover is $76.59 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 2,419 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marigold. 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 Marigold 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 Marigold 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 Marigold 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.

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.
