“Fantastic kitty sitter for our two snuggly kitties. Kim came and watched our home and our cats for 2+ weeks while we traveled abroad. She was extremely responsive and communicative during the trip, letting us know how everyone was doing. Upon our return our house was very clean and tidy, kitties were happy and looked well taken care of. We could not have been more thankful for her taking such great care of everything. I would highly recommend her and her adorable puppy!”
“Haley was super responsive and did a wonderful job pet sitting two poms. One of the poms is a little anxious and I was super impressed that he liked Haley right away. Would book again!”
“Jayne was fantastic. Very patient with our rescue dog that is a handful during the first meeting. Had great piece of mind knowing Jayne was taking great care of my two dogs. Will definetely use Jayne's services a great deal moving forward.”
“Katherine was an amazing Petsitter for our pup! She was highly communicative, sent lots of photos, and was able to be flexible and patient as we navigated some new-home challenges. We would definitely reach out to her again with no reservations.”
“My senior dog has a lot of medical and behavioral needs, and it’s hard for me to feel comfortable leaving him with a sitter. With Bria, not only did she seem to understand and love my old man, but she used her vet tech skills to administer all of his meds and closely monitor his respiratory rate. She flagged a heart failure episode early and worked with my dog’s cardiologist over the phone to adjust his mediation dosage to ensure he was stable while I was in flight. Bria’s expertise, reliable communication and nurturing personality were a godsend for my dog and me. I would definitely rebook and trust her implicitly. Would highly recommend, especially to go above and beyond for dogs with special needs.”
“Bradley was so great with my puppy. I never used Rover before and was nervous having someone else watch my pup and be in my house, but Bradley was amazingly and my pup was well taken care of. Sent pics of my pup out and playing which made me feel much more comfortable. Will def book again !”
“Edmond did a great job keeping me upset with lots of information about what he and Hobbs did, sent me plenty of pictures and Hobbs loved him! Would highly recommend!”
“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.”
“Keisha saved our Christmas plans! When our sitter canceled last minute, it was such a relief when Keisha was so willing to do a same-day meet and greet, and stay with my elderly dog for the week of Christmas. She was responsive the whole time, and we returned to a happy dog and clean house. She even treated Marley to a Christmas present, which was so sweet!”
“Jeannie is wonderful. She provides great communication and is super clean. My pups love her which helps me feel at ease when I have to travel. Thank you for all you do Jeannie!”
“Stephanie is really fantastic. We know our dog - and house - is instead hands when we’re away. Which means that we can actually relax and enjoy our vacations. We are repeat customers and will be sure to use Stephanie again.”
“Tenisha did a great job with my senior dog. Good communication throughout my time away. She was able to administer his medication twice a day. Very reliable. My dog was very relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend! Thanks Tenisha.”
“Brian was amazing. We had a last-minute request over the holidays, and he truly saved us. He stayed at our home and took excellent care of our dog, King, who isn’t always the easiest, but Brian stepped in confidently and made it work without issue. Communication was great; he was always responsive and kept us at ease while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and a house left in great condition. We would absolutely book Brian again and highly recommend him to anyone on Rover.”
“Hannah has been wonderful with our two dogs, one of which was recently ill and recovering from surgery. It’s been great having someone we can trust with them while we’re away! She always sends lots of pictures and communicates well :)”
“This was our second time being lucky enough to have Lindsey stay in our home and take care of our dog Kona and it was wonderful. She provided plenty of updates, expertly dealt with Kona’s little quirks, and left our house in great shape. Thank you for everything!!!”
“My babies truly love Kymberlee. They are always so calm when I get home, like they’ve been loved on adequately. My blind god especially loves her because she shows her extra care. She makes sure they are entertained and sends lots of pictures. Amazing!”
“Deloris did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Holly! From the start, communication was great, and we felt completely at ease leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.”
“Kathryn did an amazing job with our pups. She sent great updates including photos and videos. This helped us feel so much better about leaving them. Our house was left in perfect condition. Will absolutely use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marlow Heights
Mickela was truly a dream house sitter! She was incredibly responsive throughout our stay, sent lots of photos and updates, and, most importantly, spent so much time with our pets. We really appreciated knowing they were getting plenty of attention and care while we were away. Our dog has epilepsy and needs medication, which Mickela handled with no problem at all. He also has a habit of getting into things and eating things he shouldn’t, and she was so understanding and attentive to his quirks. She took such great care of both our pets and made us feel completely at ease. On top of all of that, she was extremely tidy and left our house absolutely spotless. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Mickela to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsive, and respectful of their home. We would absolutely have her stay with our pets again!
Keisha was absolutely wonderful with our Doberman, Ruger! She followed all of our instructions, including taking him out in the backyard, spent quality time playing with him, and kept us updated throughout the day with videos and messages. Those updates gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Thanks to Keisha, we were able to enjoy a full day celebrating our niece’s 10th birthday at the amusement park without worrying about Ruger. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and made sure he was happy, active, and well looked after. We truly appreciate everything Keisha did and would absolutely love to have her watch our Dobbie again. Highly recommend!
Trina was absolutely amazing! She kept me fully informed with regular updates throughout the entire stay, which gave me total peace of mind. To make things even better, my travel plans got seriously delayed on my way home, and Trina was incredibly responsible and accommodating. She immediately adjusted her own schedule to cover the extra time needed until I could get back. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!
Nile took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and even assisted with an apartment issue we had while we were gone. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Nile again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.
Alayza was really responsive throughout, and sent frequent updates. I especially appreciated being able to have a meet & greet prior to booking, to ensure my pups and Alayza would be comfortable with each other (and of course they were!). We will definitely work with her again!
Emerald helped us out in a big way when another pet sitter we had needed to drop because of a family emergency two days before our trip. We were able to get ahold of Emerald and get everything squared away to pet site for us the day before we left. She took amazing care of our pets and house.
Oksana was absolutely phenomenal, and we could not have asked for a better person to care for our dogs, Bo and Kobi. She was professional, reliable, and treated them with so much care and attention. Despite the summer heat and temperatures reaching 95 degrees, Oksana consistently took Bo and Kobi on walks once or twice a day and made sure they stayed happy and well cared for. She also looked after our home and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs’ well being. We returned home to two happy pups and a house that had been well looked after. We would recommend Oksana without hesitation. She exceeded our expectations, and we would gladly trust her with Bo and Kobi again. Thank you, Oksana, for taking such great care of our family!
We have an older, fickle rescue dog who can be challenging with new people. Bella happily came over for weeks leading up to our trip to take our dog for a walk to build up a relationship. Bella was very patient and understanding of our dogs quirks. Bella kept us updated during our trip and when we arrived home we got to see first hand how much our dog grew to love Bella. I would highly recommend Bella to care for your pet!
I am a first time Rover user, and was for a long time very wary of allowing strangers to take care of my fur babies. Roy, unequivocally, is the reason this site works. Roy communicated often, thoroughly, and was even patient when we had app difficulties and my communication lapsed. Roy took care of my two dogs and one cat and provided stimulation and lots of cuddles. We came home to a house that was pristine and three happy and healthy pets. As I told Roy personally, having the peace of mind to actually enjoy the vacation is nearly invaluable. We are very thankful to Roy and will definitely be booking again should the time come!

FAQs for House Sitting - Marlow Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marlow Heights on Rover is $26.64 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,353 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marlow Heights. 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 Marlow Heights 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 Marlow Heights 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 Marlow Heights 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.
