“Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.”

“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”

About: Without having a ton of experience, I work well and will live up to your expectations! I love animals; I have two dogs and a kitty. I'm good with all different types! I'm a senior high school, trying to start a part-time job here. I've kept the same job for two years and have loved that experience working with kids! I'm good with keeping puppies safe on walks. My cavalier loves to go on long walks. Keeping a good eye of roads, what they step on, and what they eat!

“Carol was amazing house sitting for my dog! I could tell how much of a dog lover she is and knew my dog would be in the best of care! She kept me updated and shared pictures during my trip! She left my home clean and tidy as well! Highly recommend!”

“Olivia was an amazing sitting for our dog! She sent many updates, spent quality time with her, and took great care of our house. I would definitely recommend her to others and plan to use her for future sitting needs!”


About: What sets me apart from others is that I have fostered many dogs and cats in the recent past. I have 5 animals of my own including 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have a special interest and love for animals and will always provide the best care. I also have a lot of training on dog body language and am currently in school to be a dog groomer! I’m currently self employed. So I have plenty of time to play, walk or care for your sweet babies. I hope I can be considered! I pride myself in my knowledge and skills when it comes to animals and if I am doing a stay in visit I’m confident I can follow any and all directions I’m given. As well as when walking your furry family member. I will take any and all safety precautions.
“I have used Madison multiple times, including for last-minute bookings, and have had absolutely zero issues every time. She is reliable, responsive, and always communicates clearly throughout the entire process, which gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. Madison is professional, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I always feel confident leaving my dog in her care, knowing that everything will be handled well. I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and communicative dog sitter.”

“Theresa is an outstanding dog sitter. The dogs love her so much, and she is wonderful interacting with them. She even tidied up the main floor of our house, which is above and beyond. She will definitely be my future number one choice.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and many other furry and feathered companions. I firmly believe that a house isn’t truly a home without a four-legged friend. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for family and friends, caring for up to five dogs at a time of varying breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also have experience caring for cats, including both indoor and outdoor pets. My background is in nursing, which has given me valuable experience with responsibility, attention to detail, and caring for animals with special medical needs. However, my love for animals has always been just as strong as my passion for helping people. My family and I recently relocated from St. Louis, Missouri, to St. Jacob, Illinois. My husband and daughter share my love for animals, and our home is currently filled with the company of our three beloved cats. Earlier this year, we said goodbye to our sweet dog, Roxy, after 17 wonderful years together. Her absence has left a noticeable void in our home, and we miss the sound of her sassy little feet following us around. While we take our time deciding when we’re ready to welcome another dog into our family, I’ve decided to return to pet sitting and expand my services. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I would be honored to provide loving, dependable care for your pets while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, medication administration, or vacation care, you can rest assured your pets will be treated like family. I'm currently a stay at home mom and can offer plenty of flexibility for your pet's care needs whether that is drop in visits, walks, or boarding. We live on a 2+ acre lot with lots of room to run/walk around the property. We do not currently have a fenced in yard so dogs would need to be on a leash to ensure their safety while staying with us. We have lots of walking paths in our area that we can offer for exercise. If your dog likes a quiet place to rest, we have used our laundry room as a quiet area for pets.
“Grayson came through for us at the last minute for an unexpected pet sitting need while we were on vacation. He did a fantastic job with Biscuit who is 20 years old with multiple health issues and was very patient with us getting home much later than expected. We got frequent updates and photos which was great. Fantastic sitter!”

“Oliver exceeded our expectations! He took wonderful care of our dogs and home, sent daily pics and updates, and even went out of his way to keep things clean. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. Highly recommend and will definitely book with him again!”

“Mallory did an excellent job ensuring our house and pup were well cared for. She was super reliable and responsive and asked questions if she wasn't clear on something. Strongly recommend her!”

“Amy was great with our dogs! She listened to all of our instructions, always communicated and kept us updated! I couldn’t be more thankful for someone to take such great care of our dogs who are family members to us. Highly recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for high-energy dogs, including golden retrievers, managing multiple pets, and handling routines calmly. My experience with young children has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and reliability as a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine. I schedule regular walks, playtime, feeding, and attention, ensuring dogs stay active, happy, and well-cared for while I work remotely. I provide attentive care in my client’s home, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and monitoring. I maintain routines, offer companionship, and ensure pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.
“We had a great experience with Seth! Our anxious dog seemed comfortable with him from the first time they met. He sent really wonderful photos of our girls each day and kept us updated about how they were doing. We get nervous about leaving our girls with strangers, but we would definitely have Seth take care of them again. He left our house clean and the three dogs seemed well cared for.”

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs of all sizes. I have taken them on walks, play catch, given meds, and willing to do whatever you need for your pup! I am doing this for some extra cash so my schedule is very open. Willing to work with you and try my best to accommodate! I like to make sure the pet is comfortable with me especially when their person is gone so I like to com by and meet you and the pet before your trip! I try my absolute best to stick with their routine and make sure I’m getting all of their needs met. I have dealt with high energy pups to pups with a lot of anxiety. I love em all even with their special quirks!

FAQs for House Sitting - Marine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 966 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marine. 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 Marine 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 Marine 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 Marine 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 Marine. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
