“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She took great care of our dog, Timber. Kept us updated the entire time. After having flight delay issues, she was willing to adjust her schedule to help us out. Would recommend Wendy to anyone looking for someone loving to watch their fur babies. She was very professional and caring of our dog!”
“Sierra took great care of my big dog Bella overnight at my home, as a trial run for a longer trip i have planned. Sierra was very respectful and tidy in my home and handled my big dog Bella with confidence and ease. My dog was calm and happy when I returned and I'm so glad Sierra will be taking care of her during my longer trip. I now have one less thing to worry about!”
“Janelle took amazing care of my cat! Lots of picture and video updates and went above and beyond with taking care of her and my place where she stayed. She’s very attentive and her love for animals is very apparent. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Aislynn took good care of my older dog, taking notes during our meet and greet to make sure that she had all the information she needed. He got plenty of time and attention, and I returned to a house and dog that were both in great shape.”
“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I bring over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience across long-term house sitting, international shelter work, and specialized medical care. My background includes a 6-month, full-time house sit caring for three dogs and two cats, where I managed strict health regimens—including administering medications every 2 hours at precise times for a dog with a neurological seizure disorder, treating skin conditions and wounds, and managing flea care. I am trained in emergency response and comfortable handling complex medical schedules. Additionally, I volunteered for a year at a shelter in India caring for 60+ dogs, providing physical therapy to paralyzed dogs, assistance with vaccinations, behavioral training, and custom dietary meal prep. Locally, I volunteered at Multnomah County Animal Services, completing intensive training in medication administration and enrichment. I'm certified in Pet First Aid through American Red Cross. Through TrustedHousesitters and caring for friends' pets, I regularly handle multi-week stays for both dogs and cats, ensuring consistent routines, high-level medical attentiveness, and dedicated care. As a freelancer with a fully flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the dedicated attention they deserve. I am available for long-term house sitting, weekend stays, and drop-in visits or walks any day between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. I prioritize safe, precise, and low-stress care above all else. Certified in American Red Cross Pet First Aid, I am fully equipped to administer oral and topical medications, handle intensive wound care, and maintain extensive care schedules. Because I specialize in caring for anxious cats and special needs pets, I maintain a calm, quiet, and secure environment tailored to your pet's specific routine and comfort level.
“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!”
About: I provide reliable, loving, personalized care for every pup, treating your furry family members like my own with patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I prioritize regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care so every pup feels safe, happy, and at home. 🐾❤️ My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I share it with Penelope, my friendly two-year-old tabby cat. I prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated on your furry family member.
“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”
“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”
“Nicki is an exceptional dog sitter. Our dog was happy & sweeter than when we left him! ? Nicki left our home clean. She is an easy going person & very responsive. I highly recommend Nicki. She’s an”
“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!”
“Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Sue did an amazing job with our 3 dogs and 2 cats. Even our skittish cat spent the whole weekend snuggled with her. Will definitely use again.”
“Amazingly professional and dedicated sitter. Knowing that she was taking care of our animals and our house really put us at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about our animals at all. Her dog Theo is very sweet and got along great with both my dog and cat. Jessie took my dog to a different park or part of the river every day I was gone. Very professional and dedicated she took her job very seriously and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
“James did a great job pet and house sitting for us while we were away for the holidays. He communicated clearly and responded quickly. Our dogs were taken care of and happy! Our house was also very tidy and clean when we returned. James is responsible and it helped us feel at ease while we were away. Thanks again, James!”
“We are very happy with house and pet sitting done by Hanna. She kept us well informed and helped make it easy to enjoy our time away from home knowing our home and pet were well cared for.”
“We had such a great experience with Madison! She responded incredibly quickly, was super easy to communicate with, and answered all of our questions without hesitation. Throughout the day she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs were so happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the service. We highly recommend Madison!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,675 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marmot. 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 Marmot 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 Marmot 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 Marmot 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.
