“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!”
“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 !”
“Alexa was great! I appreciate how she took care of my dogs and our home! Especially my old girl who is almost 17 and needs extra care.! Everything was done as I had asked and she left everything very tidy! I look forward to using her again very soon!”
About: I have about 15 years of experience caring for pets. I've cleaned kennels, bathed and raised mostly puppies and kittens, and am flexible with schedules, attentive to any medical conditions your pet may have and I just really love animals. They are one of many things in this life that bring me lots of joy! 🥰 I'm currently working full-time at a theater, but have consistent days off and am looking to go down to working four days a week so I can make room for caring for animals 😊 I have plenty of experience staying overnight when sitting, so I'm used to playtime, lots of walks, down time while giving lots of attention and cuddles, and adhering to consistent schedules. I have no issue cleaning up any accidents and would ensure that your home stays clean as new!
“Cheyenne was great with our pup, giving him the love, care, and attention we couldn’t while we were away for a week+. She sent frequent updates (at least 2x a day) with lots of pictures and also kept an eye on things around the house for us. We’ll definitely hire Cheyenne again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for dog care/house sitting.”
“Averie did a wonderful job watching our fur baby overnight! She went above and beyond and was even able to help with my daughter’s show goat. I appreciated her flexibility and communication! We will be asking her to sit for us again!”
“Jaynie has been an amazing sitter for us. She sends us pics & updates intermittently while we're away from our pup.. she is so complimentary of our Hank, even though we know he can be a handful sometimes! We love Jaynie & will continue to use her for future sitting needs as her schedule can accommodate!!”
“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter! She stayed in constant communication with me, providing updates and pictures of my dogs throughout my trip. She followed all of my instructions, including hand-feeding Fat Fat and making sure both dogs got their favorite ice cream treats. I especially appreciated how attentive she was to their individual personalities. My dogs are complete opposites, and she picked up on their funny little quirks perfectly! She also made sure my home was clean and everything was taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. Everything went perfectly, and I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Cassandra was very reliable. She sent me pictures of Latke and a brief update of his mood and activities while I was overseas. It was very comforting that I never had to worry about him while I was so far away. I would highly recommend Cassandra to watch your pet. She has lots of experience with animals of all kinds. Thank you!😊”
“Isabell did such an amazing job watching our two dogs. She was super communicative, proactive and was even nice enough to help us out with an extra morning drop in due to our evening flight being canceled, which delayed us from getting back to our pups in the evening as intended. We truly appreciate how attentive and caring she was, and will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! I’ve worked for various horse ranches taking care of the animals and I have my very own puppy at home. Previously, I took care of senior dogs so I consider myself well-rounded with ages. I’m currently a full-time student so my weekly routine is pretty flexible at the moment! Many of my classes are online so that makes things much easier to continue to be flexible. I have 11 acres that my puppy explores and plays on, and we use a personal crate for nap times so he feels like he has his own space.
About: I grew up in the country, where animals were always a big part of my life. My pets were not just animals—they were my best friends and part of my family. I have over 40 years of experience raising and caring for animals, including rabbits, cats, and dogs. Throughout my life, I have learned that every animal has its own personality, needs, and way of communicating. I understand the importance of providing patience, love, attention, and dependable care. I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I have always given my own animals—as family. A typical day with me is filled with love, attention, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I start the morning by taking the dogs out for their first potty break, followed by breakfast for everyone. After breakfast, we enjoy some snuggle and playtime before heading out for our morning walk. During my workday, your fur babies will still have plenty of attention and cuddles. I take breaks to let them outside as needed, spend time with them, and make sure they are comfortable and happy. Around lunchtime, we enjoy a light snack, followed by more playtime and another potty break. After work, my full attention is on the pets! We have dinner, followed by playtime and an evening walk. We finish the day with plenty of cuddles and quiet time to relax and rest. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, safe, and like part of the family while they are in my care. 🐾❤️ I provide loving, dependable care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Whether I am caring for them during the day or staying overnight, I will follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I will make sure they are fed according to your instructions, have fresh water, receive regular potty breaks and walks, and get plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I will take the time to get to know your pet and provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. During overnight stays, I will make sure your pet has companionship and feels secure throughout the night. I will also respect your home and follow any instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you are away by caring for your pets as if they were my own. 🐾❤️
About: One aspect that distinguishes me from other pet sitters is my genuine passion for caring for dogs, whether it involves walking, training, or dedicating my free time to their well-being. For me pet care is every minute I’m home, I have a very energetic 3 year old jack Russel that has an obsession with tennis balls. I take him on walks and play with him every day as well as feed and groom him I consistently strive to ensure that other people's pets feel comfortable around me when entering their homes. Throughout my past experiences, I have never encountered a dog that did not like me or was fearful around me. I am adept at building positive relationships with dogs of all ages, tailoring my approach to each dog's unique personality.
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
“Jocelyn went above and beyond for our Ranger. We came home to a happy Yorkie, clean house, and received pictures the whole weekend. We would highly recommend Jocelyn for pet sitting/house sitting. We will definitely book her again if she is available:)”
About: Well hello :), I am a skilled kennel technician and Dog trainer with a solid background in animal care. I worked for an establishment known for boarding and grooming fur babies, as well as earning my certificate for positive reinforcement training, providing me with the opportunity to watch them throughout the day and night. That includes playtime, meals, nap time, or just simple boarding, and if needed administering medicine to those in need. While doing those I’m also very attentive to our surroundings, constantly monitoring conditions, to maintain a clean area and keeping an eye out for an unusual behavior. I am currently a Dog trainer at Petco, and in school for Veterinary Technology. I do have a very flexible schedule and could always make something work with just a heads up in a decent amount of time. i won’t schedule a day that i am working just for the sake of the animal. I provide loving in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and companionship while owners are away.
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals, including cats, dogs, and small pets/rodents, and have years of experience helping care for them. I’m comfortable with both big and small dogs and have experience walking and caring for dogs in my neighborhood as well. I currently have two kittens of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and loving to care for your pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your animals, give them lots of attention and affection, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work during the day, but I often have free time in the evenings and on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and quality care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I love making time for in my schedule. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, or just some company while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I currently have two kittens at home, so at this time I do not offer boarding or pet care in my own home. However, I do offer pet sitting, walks, and drop-in visits in clients’ homes and would be happy to help care for your pets where they are most comfortable!
About: Ive not only taken care of my own pets but I have also taken care of my friend’s and family’s and I know and understand the value of them as they aren't only pets but family and I will make sure I give them the love, respect, and care that a family member would deserve!!!

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 of House Sitting in Marilee is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $147 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marilee. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
