“Skyler was awesome as always! Pleasant to communicate with, liked by my critters, very attentive to instructions, and excellent with updates on how the animals are doing. I would highly recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for 2 years now, no matter what age or if they need extra care, they will be well loved!! I work full-time and if close enough from work, I can let them out at noon! I love all animals. They will be loved a lot! I always stay at peoples houses, I listen carefully to instructions and I love to go on walks. I will feed them and give them water!
“Bethany was helpful and caring. She was willing to come Meet before watching our dog. She also listened and gave him his medicine at the exact times needed. She communicated each time his medicine was given which kept my worry down.”
“Another great stay with Megan. She has housesat with our two dogs several times in the year that we have lived in the area. This particular time there was a problem with the garage door that she was kind enough to help manage. She is conscientious, reliable, and very communicative. It is very assuring to have someone we can count on to care for our beloved pets when we are away. HIghly reocommend Megan!”
About: I am a senior at GVSU looking for a few shifts once in a while. Because of my work schedule, I am available after 5pm on Fridays and anytime on Saturday and Sundays! Due to my school/work schedule, I will be available Monday-Thursdays anytime after 7pm! Open to weekends as well, I’m very flexible with those times and will try my best to meet your needs! I have experience in dog walking and drop in visits for both cats and dogs. I prefer to know where food, leashes, etc are located as well as your pets feeding schedule prior to my first visit.
“Hanna did a great job with our puppy! He was four months and needed a lot of extra love and care and she was willing to do it all! She sent lots of pictures and followed all the instructions we left for her. She communicated quickly and always responded within a few minutes. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Ricardo stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of our two mini doodles, one of whom needed medicine while we were gone. We returned home to two happy, well-fed and well-cared for dogs. He did a great job and I would be happy to hire him again. Before staying with them, he visited with the dogs on two occasions and both seemed to take to him immediately. Grateful for his care for them while we were away.”
“I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!”
“Matthew was an excellent dog/house sitter. The dogs really enjoyed him and he really took care of them like they were his own. He communicates regularly and was an excellent houseguest. You would have no worries with him as your sitter. Highly recommend him.”
“Sierra was amazing! She took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats above and beyond. She was also very good with communication if anything was happening or just for updates as well.”
“Tayler was very responsible and took great care of our two dogs. She was responsive and easy to work with too. The dogs really enjoyed their time with Tayler. I would highly recommend her as a dog/house sitter”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marne
Megan was so sweet and patient with Layla during her 4 night stay at my place! You can tell she really cares about animals and their wellbeing. Unfortunately, Layla is in the work up process for a neurological disease that has lead to slight immobility; but Megan was very aware and attentive to her needs and signs and was careful when on walks and day to day activities. Megan was also very communicative and sent at least a few pictures daily which was greatly appreciated. I appreciated her extreme flexibility as well as there was a chance my flight home was going to be cancelled, but Megan reassured me she would come back and continue care of Layla even though the booking was completed. Overall, would definitely book with Megan again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Marne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,046 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marne. 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 Marne 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 Marne 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 Marne 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.
