House Sitting Marmot

“Wendy was dependable and communicative. We have a very outgoing and vocal cat, as well as a kitten that hides from people she doesn't know. Wendy patiently navigated the challenges that presented and made sure each cat was taken care of. We appreciated knowing the cats were safe and well cared for while we were on vacation.”

“He was professional and friendly and great with pups”

“Aislynn was so wonderful. This is our second setter through Rover and have had nothing but great experiences. It was great knowing Millie and Oliver was in safe hands during our day. I would for sure rebook with her again.”

Jennifer S.

“Gema was so accommodating with my schedule. I booked last minute, she came for a meet and greet, listened with intent to care instructions, and provided me with lots of photos and updates. Gave medications to my elder dog and gave lots of attention to the playful pup. Would book again. 12/10”

“Karen was amazing. We cannot say enough good things about her, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She watched our two very different dogs while we were away for my father's memorial — our French Bulldog with separation anxiety and our parents' Saint Bernard, who is very sensitive. Karen handled both of them with so much patience, love, and care, and sent us regular updates that gave us complete peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands allowed us to be fully present when we needed to be most. We came home to two happy, relaxed, well-loved pups — and that says it all. Karen is professional, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with animals and a great person. We will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pets like family. 🐾”

“We were pleased with Kiernan's care of our dog in our home. She followed our instructions, left our home in great shape, and even laundered her sheets and remade the bed. She took our dog on two walks per day, as we requested, in spite of rain and windy weather. She stayed in contact with us, sending photos and notes on Chiqui. We appreciated the great job she did, and we would hire Kiernan and Jay again.”

Patricia N.

“As per usual, Starla was amazing with Momo. We came home from a long trip to a happy and healthy pup. She's so good with Momo, that now she misses her when she's gone!”

About: I already have a lot of experience with animal care, and now that I'm a housesitter, my experience with all kinds of dogs and cats is surging. I grew up with dogs, a long-term pet bird (a cockatiel), and I raised rabbits in rabbit 4H as a child. As an adult, I'd cared for several different cats, dogs, and a rabbit for friends and roommates, even before starting housesitting. I've given pills to dogs and cats, and administered insulin to an elderly cat. Since moving to Oregon in July 2026, my schedule has filled up so fast with several amazing house and pet sits. I'm taking care small dogs, large dogs, calm dogs, and high-energy dogs. I adapt walking strategy to dog's reactivity, according to the owner's guidance and everything else I observe in real time. And if you count your beloved plants as part of the family, I understand. I've got experience caring for those, too! I can take care of your chickens and keep your garden going, no problem. I'm a full-time professional housesitter! That means that I am very flexible to accommodate your pet's usual routine. I work in data annotation, and it's all on my laptop. My work schedule is incredibly flexible. This means I can set up anywhere with wifi, and we'll be good to go! I have pretty extensive gardening knowledge, having taken a large chunk of the WSU home horticulture and master gardener's training program. I've grown a lot of different vegetables and berries, and I can care for flowers and ornamentals, too! I love plants and would very much enjoy spending time in your garden, monitoring plant health and giving good morning waterings, etc.

“Jordyn did an amazing job petsitting my 4yo husky and 2 cats. I always worry with new pet-sitters that my dog is going to be too much - too hyper, too overwhelming, too vocal, and that she'll intimidate a new person with her husky antics and shenanigans, but Jordyn handled her like a pro. My dog loved the special attention she got from her new friend and the cats were clearly well taken care of. Jordyn was clean and tidy and respectful and the house looked great when we got home. We'll definitely try to book Jordyn again for future trips and I'd recommend her to anyone who asks!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Marie and would absolutely book her again. She took excellent care of our 8-year-old indoor/outdoor tabby, and when we returned from our trip, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well loved. She sent us regular updates with photos and videos, spent lots of time playing with him, and even bought him some new toys. It was obvious that the two of them really bonded. She also kept an eye on an old wound he had and was very attentive to his well-being throughout our time away. She truly went above and beyond. When our cat stayed out later than usual, she walked around the neighborhood calling for him until he came home. We really appreciated how seriously she took his safety and how much she clearly cared about him. She has a big heart for animals and a very good understanding of cats. She even had some thoughtful suggestions about where we might place his food and water to make things work even better for him. She took wonderful care of our home as well. Mail and packages were brought inside, our plants were watered, and everything was extremely tidy when we returned. She even left us some fresh blueberries as a welcome-home snack, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, we really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marie is caring, responsible, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile. She will absolutely be at the top of our list the next time we need a house sitter, and we would recommend her without hesitation.”

About: I recently restarted providing pet services. Most of my experience is with small and medium dogs, especially seniors who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, provided daily walks, and made sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. While I don’t have direct experience with cats yet, I’m very open to learning and eager to provide them with the same level of care. I’m also new to house sitting, but I’m highly responsible, follow directions carefully, and will always treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. I do have a full time hybrid job, we can discuss a schedule if needed. I do come with a little senior, blind sidekick. He is very mild manner and chill but can not be left alone and therefore, we are a package deal. If this works for you please reach out. Familiarize myself with your home, your pets needs any instructions left and ask questions if I’m not sure, So I can provide the best care.

“She took great care of our two girl dogs. Our anxious girl has separation anxiety so it’s very helpful she’s able to be with them in our home so much. It is very hard to find a sitter that doesn’t have to leave for another job, go home to care for other pets, can’t stay the night, etc. We will be booking with her in the future!”

“Lena picked up a last minute house sitting request. She was easy to communicate with and took special care to support my pup in her post surgery recovery. Lena sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. My pup was happy and well cared for upon my return home and Lena also left the house in great shape. I highly recommend Lena for your pet care needs!”

About: Hi there! I'm new to Rover, but have been housesitting regularly since December 2024. I've had the opportunity to pet sit in Australia and throughout New Zealand with dogs and cats of various breeds and ages. I have also looked after fish and chickens. My experience ranges from caring for young puppies and kittens to older animals with health issues, including pets with arthritis, heart issues, IBD, and asmtha. I'm very diligent about managing any medication or supplements required. In the past, I've had two dogs as my own pets. One was a miniature schnauzer and the other was a mixed breed rescue. Throughout the years, I've pet sat for friends and family as well. I always love getting to know new animals and enjoy taking care of a home and any plants you may have. :) I work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to stay in with your pets and make sure they are cared for and happy. *Currently, I am fully booked for housesitting until the beginning of February. If you are interested in booking for your 2027 travel, feel free to send me a message to schedule a meet and greet. I do also offer dog walking or drop-in visits for other clients from about noon to 2 pm, so this would be a time that I may be away from the house. To ensure a good fit, I offer a 30 minute Meet & Greet prior to booking. All bookings include frequent updates and photos for your peace of mind. I am happy to have your fur babies as my close companions or give them more space if they prefer. My goal is make sure they are safe and comfortable while their family is away.

“Erich & Sarah are absolute rockstars. It's never easy leaving your pets/home in the care of others but Erich and Sarah could not have been any better. They took amazing care of our home and two wild puppies while gone for 5 days. I am pretty confident the house is cleaner than when we left it. They messaged us regularly, providing photos and updates which was much appreciated and we didn't even ask them too. Needless to say we would absolutely recommend these two with out hesitation. You could say they are a needle in a haystack and are some of the nicest people we have meet in a long time. We cannot thank them enough!”

About: Hello! :) I run a studio called Puppies & Painting, previously managing Puppies & Yoga. Every weekend I care for (alongside another staff member) up to 14 puppies for 8 hours at a time. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From playing at the park or a long hike to a specific medication schedule, i’m here for all their needs :) I’m currently running a Puppies & Painting studio on Saturdays and part time during the week as an art teacher at an afterschool arts program. My goal is to be a full time animal nanny 🫶🏻 I live in an apartment with my partner and cat. My cat is very shy and will mind her own business when another animal enters our space. I spend a lot of time outside, whether your animal likes long walks or sitting in a park for hours - i’m here to accommodate for their needs :)

About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.

About: The yard is like a private park for your pet(s) they will love it and you will be amazed! I have been a dog owner since family childhood and up until recently (3 months ago). I love dogs, being with them and caring for them. I have experienced first hand all of the joys and concerns involved with and know what to look for and recognize in an animals behaviour to determone happy or otherwise. I can communicate clearly with you how your beloved pet is doing when we're together. I am currently transitioning from a corporate cog to Rover. I will have all of my time when booked to be with and available for your pet. I have a fully fenced yard and no other pets. When I awake I look for your pet(s) and we have morning hellos, next exercise and nourishment as requested and instructed by owners and then play time ! ...

“My pup Justin always has a great time with Kaiden! He always sends plenty of pictures throughout his dog sitting and keeps us updated. Highly recommend Kaiden’s services!”
