“Alexa always does a great job! She is excellent at communication and always keeps me updated while we’re away. My dog and very shy cat adore her, and I appreciate how reliable she is!”
“Kayleigh was absolutely amazing to work with! She was timely, attentive & communicative. We were so at ease with her staying at our home with our pups while we were out of town. She shared daily photos and updates & was always quick to respond to any messages. She was so respectful of our home and took care of sheets, dishes and more before leaving! You could also tell the dogs were very comfortable and cuddly with her which speaks volumes. I will definitely be using Kayleigh again! We can’t thank her enough.”
“Connor did a wonderful job house- and pet-sitting for us for last 10 days. He cared for our dog and cat as if they were his own and tended to our small jungle of plants with great attention. We returned home to thriving greenery, happy fur babies, and even a freshly vacuumed house! We will definitely call on Connor again for any future trips that take us away.”
“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!”
“Kensington took great care of our sweet Penny girl. We just recused her so we were nervous about leaving her for the first time, but we felt comfortable leaving her with Kensington and knew she was given lots of love. We will definitely use Kensington 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.”
“Michelle did well with staying a few nights. House was in good shape as when we left. Our dog seems to have been taken well care of and happy. I received pictures daily, which I enjoyed!”
“Louann took great care of our little guy, Max! She spent plenty of time with him in the morning and evening to hang out and give him the chance to eat and have potty breaks. Great job, Louann! ”
“Adrian was so amazing with our two pups! Our sweet babies can get very anxious but he kept them so calm and happy while we were away. He sends THE BEST pictures of your babies to update you. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“The boys absolutely LOVED her and I also got lots of comfort with cute videos and pictures of the boys! Scooby says 100/10 best play mate and Prince says 100/10 best snuggles! Thank you!!”
“She was absolutely wonderful! So kind, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care, and I could tell my pup was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Amy did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs, and also took on some kittens I was fostering! She met with us and the dogs beforehand so they were familiar with her, and now consider her one of their best friends! House immaculate, mail brought in… highly recommend Amy.”
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life! I have had dogs, cats, and small animals (a hedgehog even!) of my own. My current furry family members are my 2 cats, Stella & Burtie.

I understand the worries that come with leaving your pets on trips or day to day activities - that’s where I’m here to help ease your mind!

I WFH making it easy to check in & stay with your pets as needed 🐾 Help with senior animals (medications, special treatment, etc) I am fully remote so my job gives me plenty of flexibility to work around your pets schedule and regular routine. Whether it’s drop ins, walks, or house sitting, I am more than happy to adjust to what your pets are most used to! Happy to adjust to whatever care your pets need! My own furry friends have dietary restrictions and specific routines so I know what it’s like to want the best for your pets while you’re away. I will be sure to communicate regularly and provide updates as well as plenty of photos (the best part 😊)
“Torrie was absolutely exceptional in watching our fur babies, and she took good care of our house too. She made sure our girls felt so loved and just like her own. We definitely would like her to sit for us in the future.”
“Tania was a great dog sitter! She provided plenty of updates/pictures of the dogs! She watched my two Great Danes and left the house so tidy! I would hire her again, and y’all should too.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Marilee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marilee on Rover is $35.52 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 2,792 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marilee. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
