“Debra and Jamie did a fantastic job caring for our pets. They responded immediately to our request and were incredibly reliable throughout the stay. Debra took great care of both the dogs and the goats, following every instruction perfectly. We came home to happy animals and a neat, well-kept house. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for trustworthy, attentive sitters.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 12. I am incredibly patient and very good at making animals feel comfortable around me! I have experience with younger dogs and seniors. I also adopted cats in 2024 and have experience caring for my kitten and older cat. I'm unemployed currently, so I pretty much have all the time in the world. I prefer later times as it gets pretty hot here, but I'm willing and ready to accommodate! I'm not planning on offering services inside my own home, but if I'm available to dogsit/check in on your pets I will do my best to follow any rules and meet the needs of your pet!

“Tammy was the best pet sitter ever!! She took care of my boys so well! I had a very bad experience with a Rover pet sitter last month and was really concerned on hiring a new sitter from Rover. Well if you need a sitter you really should do a meet & greet with Tammy! So caring and took the time to get to now not only my pets but myself and my husband! Very respectful with my pets and my home. I finally found a sitter that I will continue to use whether its a drop in to let the boys out or more overnight stays. Tammy is the BEST!!!”

About: I'm no stranger when it comes to walking dogs. For years I've always gladly volunteered to walk my family's adopted Greyhound and Shi Tzu, and I've loved every second of each walk. Nothing makes me happier than getting some fresh air with them or playing with them inside with their sqweak toys. I'm extremely availed and flexible as I'm home for the summer from college. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and there is no obstacle I can't overcome when it comes to taking care of them. Whether it be special dietary eating habits, an exercise routine, or even medical issues, I'm ready and willing to work with whatever you got. I look forward to meeting and working with any and all your lovable companions! I'm very flexible with my schedule and have no problems adjusting within the timeframes I've established. As long as it doesn't interfere with another client or appointment I can make it work! I care for everyone and everything as if it were my own, especially when it comes to animals and property. I always make sure to ask multiple questions so that I may show the respect and dignity that I believe everyone deserves when it comes to to house and/or pet care.

About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).

About: Hi! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has been a passion of mine since seventh grade. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs, from energetic little puppies to sweet senior dogs. I understand that pets are more than just animals — they’re family! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and trustworthy hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾 My schedule is fairly flexible, allowing me to accommodate pet-sitting and dog-walking needs around working as a hairstylist at a salon. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits both of our schedules, whether you need occasional walks, drop-in visits, or care while you’re away! 🐾 I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care in your pet’s familiar environment while respecting your home, following your instructions, and keeping your furry family safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 🤍

FAQs for House Sitting - Marion Oaks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Marion Oaks is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $64 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.

As of October 2026, there are 456 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marion Oaks. 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 Marion Oaks 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 Marion Oaks 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 Marion Oaks 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Marion Oaks. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
