Jamie and her mom did a great job taking care of our Yorkie, Aria. Aria is a spoiled little princess, and they did a terrific job of communicating with us, keeping us posted while we were gone, and helping us be comfortable while we were away from our pup. Ari is virtually never alone, and certainly not for very long. Having her here was a blessing! We’ll definitely ask her to stay with Ari again!

About: I had a 40 pound black lab for 14 years that I loved dearly. She loved walking to the lake everyday and swimming. For a couple of years her sister stayed with me as well. I've drove Amazon for 2 years so I'm use to every dog and use to being in different situations with dogs. Love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've had numerous friends and family have me house sit there dogs and houses over the years. My Mom and my Dad on occasion stay with me with their 2 female dogs. I'll let you know if I have the 2 female dogs when they are staying with me. They love going to the dog park and love being around other dogs and are trained really well. They'll welcome any dog to their little pack. I have an open schedule for pet sitting or dog walking. That allows me to care for the needs of the pets I care for. My flexibility allows me take care of the customers needs and wants for their pet. I own my my own house and have no fenced area. I have no neighbors on either side of my house so I can freely play with the dogs in my backyard. I do have a big cage if needed to cage any dogs. I don't care if dogs are on my furniture. I'm also very close to a dog park if your dog enjoys dog parks.

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 may be new to Rover, but I bring a strong caregiving background and love for animals. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I take the time to help them to feel comfortable, secure and loved. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule since I am off from my full time job. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I will continue to offer pet care around my work schedule and will keep my availability updated. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine, and take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs so they feel secure and well care for while their family is away.

We came in to town for the football game and Shaya ended up watching our Luna at the hotel. It was such a pleasure to meet Shaya and Faith. Throughout the day Shaya sent several updates, pics and videos! I loved it all. We could tell Luna was being loved and taken care of just as if they care for their own fur babies. If we are ever back down this way we will 100% ask of Shaya is available again!!!! Thank you! Thank you also for the wonderful conversation once we got back! It was a pleasure meeting you both!

About: I have always had a passion for animals all shapes and sizes. Ever since a little girl I could remember telling my mom how I can’t wait to be a “dog-doctor” and I am chasing that dream everyday. I currently am working to get my training certification, while working remotely at home. I have been in the pet industry for almost 10 years and plan on continuing to help my community and pet friends fur-ever. I can’t wait to meet you all! I am here to accommodate your needs whatever they may be. Any pet in home will be taken care with what I like call white glove service. They are essentially the homeowner in my care ! Definitely spoiled, lots of walks , scheduled meals according to pet parents preference. Many walks and lots of comfortability. My house is safe, only my partner and I live here and we take many precautions to ensure the home is safe. I work a very part-time job while I study for my certification so I will have ample time to give your baby, and give the attention they deserve ❤️. Although I do not have a fenced yard, my home is safe and secure and I have a secured field I can let my guest run freely and safely.

About: Our pets are our family. I’ve been fortunate enough to grow up owning numerous different types of animals of all ages and sizes. When looking for a caregiver for our pets, we want someone who treats them like family but is also highly educated. I take pride in my experience, knowledge and research on animals. Every animal has its own special needs and quirks. Whatever the needs, I’ll accommodate. Whatever the quirks, I’ll adore. I’ve grown up with all types of pets so they fit in my daily routine as any other family member would. With love, respect and company. In a clients home, I follow all instructions given and take into account any particular things they are fond of or prefer. It’s important to make your fur baby comfortable and at ease while taking care of them. They’re family!

FAQs for House Sitting - Marion Oaks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Marion Oaks on Rover is $44.4 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 440 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 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 Marion Oaks. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
