“Amy was a great sitter for our Dixie girl. She sent pictures and communicated very well. She also watered our plans and left our home perfectly clean. We extended our time away by a day at the last minute and Amy was willing to stay and accommodate our plans. We look forward to having her again!”

“Kayleigh was an amazing dog / cat / house sitter! She even stayed through the night when the heater broke and it was freezing outside! I can definitely recommend her and will hope she is free next time I need a sitter.”

“Addison was an amazing sitter! This was our first time using the app and we were nervous about leaving our fur babies but Addison kept us up to date with everything regarding the dogs via text and pictures and videos! Would recommend Addison to anyone with fur babies especially if you want them taken care like her own!”

“We couldn't be happier with the overnight care Louann provided for our dog. Being new to town and nervous about onboarding someone new, she proved to be reliable, communicative, and flexible when our plans had to change last minute. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. We have already booked with her again and highly recommend!”


“Jane was so sweet and great with my pets. She was flexible and understanding when our plans had to change due to unforeseen circumstances. She was a real blessing. She was punctual, thorough, and was consistent with checking in so I knew my pets were well taken care of! Totally recommend her to everyone!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience providing reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats. My pet sitting journey began over a decade ago, while I was in high school, caring for my neighbors' pets and homes, and over the years, my business has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations through those same neighbors and several coworkers across various jobs, as well as caring for family members' pets. Whether keeping up with energetic dogs, maintaining strict feeding routines, or providing gentle companionship for cats, I pride myself on giving pet parents complete peace of mind while they are away through consistent communication and transparency. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. Because I work part-time with flexible hours, I am easily able to adjust my schedule around your pet’s specific needs and feeding routines. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, mid-day attention, evening check-ins, or all day cuddles and companionship, I build my day around ensuring your pet gets timely, uninterrupted care. When caring for pets in your home, I make it my mission to ensure the safety of your pets and your home's security are always met. I treat your home with total respect by ensuring doors, gates, and windows remain securely shut and entry codes/keys are strictly safeguarded. Whether walking dogs on-leash or spending time inside with cats, I am always vigilant about their surroundings and body language. I closely follow all feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, conduct double-checks on doors and fences before leaving, and send detailed updates with photos so you have total peace of mind.
“Got it—here’s a draft: We had a wonderful experience with [Name] during a drop-in visit with our dog, Finn. She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated the whole time. Since we were from out of town, she even shared great local recommendations for places to eat and things to do nearby. Her thoughtfulness made everything so much easier, and we’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, kind pet care.”

“This was my second time using Luis' services and he did not disappoint! My dogs love him (and they are very picky pups) and he does a fantastic job with them! He's my go-to and gives me incredible security knowing my dogs are in good hands when I travel! Thank you, Luis!”

“Andrew was absolutely amazing with Draco and Maverick! We have two big dogs with very different personalities, and he handled both of them perfectly. From the beginning, Andrew was extremely communicative, dependable, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. He kept us updated, gave them plenty of attention, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. Draco and Maverick both loved him, which says everything we need to know. Coming home to two happy, relaxed dogs made the entire experience stress-free. It’s not always easy finding someone you fully trust with your dogs, especially two large ones, but Andrew completely exceeded our expectations. We would 100% book him again and would recommend him to anyone looking for someone responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely great with dogs. Thanks again, Andrew!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Miller ! He took such great care of Jhonny while we were away and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and relaxed in our home. He gave him regular potty breaks, fed him on time, played with him, and gave him lots of attention and care. 🐶❤️ We also really appreciated how well he took care of our home and kept everything clean and tidy. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Jhonny and our home were in such good hands. We would definitely recommend him and would happily have him take care of Jhonny again !”

“Tom is a gem and we were lucky to find him after our relocation to East Texas. We left our home knowing that our babies were in good hands. Tom was respectful of our property and we were very comfortable being away. It was a fantastic experience.”

“Reilly did a phenomenal job house and pet sitting. Her communication put us at ease and she asked very thoughtful questions. She absolutely looked after our home and pets like they were her own. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Connor does a great job! Housesitting and dog care were his responsibilities for us. It is obvious he really enjoys fur babies. It does not appear to be just an avenue to make money for him. He is professional, courteous, and listens to instructions. Jake and his humans are immensely happy we found him!”

“Danielle is amazing. She plays with Blaykleigh and is interested in spending time with her. Blaykleigh loves her and immediately felt at ease. Danielle took professional looking photos and shared them with me. She cares and is enjoyable to have conversations with about life. Super grateful I found her. Highly recommend.”

“Rickey stayed with our 2 cats for a long weekend and did a wonderful job!! She provided us with regular updates, pictures, and videos so we could keep up with how they were doing & they looked to be having a blast - Rickey gave them lots of attention and play time. I appreciated all of the great care our fur babies received while we were away.”

About: Hi! I’m Averie, and I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. From dogs and cats to horses and livestock, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, personalities, and care routines, and I’m comfortable providing care for animals with different needs. I also have eight years of hands-on experience with pregnant dogs, litters, and newborn puppies. I’ve been present for and helped care for my dog through eight years of births and puppy litters, giving me experience that goes beyond typical pet sitting. While I’m not veterinary trained, I’m comfortable recognizing when an animal may need extra attention and understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and other special requirements. I understand how important it is to keep your pets’ routines as consistent as possible while you’re away. When your pets are in my care, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll keep you updated throughout your time gone so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every animal I care for like they’re my own. Whether you need an overnight stay or a drop-in visit, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! My schedule varies from week to week, as I do not work a traditional 9–5 schedule. I have some daytime work commitments and occasional evening commitments, but I’m able to plan my pet-sitting availability around each booking. I also have a few regular church and event commitments throughout the week. Because my schedule is flexible and changes week to week, I communicate my availability clearly before accepting a booking and make sure I can fully commit to the care your pets need. I’m happy to work with each owner to find a schedule that works well for both of us. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay in the environment they know and are comfortable in. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, medications, exercise, playtime, and any other instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of my clients’ homes and take responsibility for keeping everything clean, organized, and well cared for while I’m there. I clean up after the pets, keep their spaces tidy, and make sure I leave the home in the same or better condition than I found it. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, and other details that help keep pets secure. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big responsibility. I take that trust seriously and want you to come home knowing your pets were well cared for and your home was treated with the same respect.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marilee
Amy was fantastic with our pups. When we got home we could tell they were well cared for and the house was clean too! She stayed with them the whole time and kept them on their regular routine. This set our mind at ease since our last three sitters we chose were barely with our pups and had them in their crates for 12-14 hours at a time every day we were gone. Amy is a Godsend and we hope she is available anytime we need to leave town moving forward!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marilee on Rover is $32.19 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 2,700 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marilee. 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 Marilee 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 Marilee 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 Marilee 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.

- 94% 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.
