“Grace responded very quickly to my booking request and we easily scheduled a meet and greet. She is obviously an animal lover. She provided lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We were able to enjoy our vacation worry-free knowing our dog was being well taken care of. We came home to a very clean house and a happy dog!”
“Claire sent daily pictures of their walking adventures and and even snuggletime. She kept my house in great shape and even made me a homemade peach pie from my peach tree. She's a true gem and I will be calling her again.”
“Emily was INCREDIBLE! She was available for a last minute booking, took incredible care of our baby Ivy, and she even left our home cleaner than she found it. We will certainly be booking with her again!”
“Would highly recommend Sophia! She was very accommodating for our dogs schedule and handled a stressful situation very professionally. She kept us informed of what was going on and sent pics of our pup while we were gone. Gave us peace of mind and would definitely have her dog sit again!”
“Anastasia was great and watched our girls for two nights in a row so we could go to a dog free dinner at a restaurant while on vacation. She was very responsive and we highly recommend her.”
“Ok, wow. I moved to town a year ago with my 12-year dog, Malachi. He has never boarded a lot, but since we moved here and don’t know many people, he has had to go “kennel jail”. He liked it there, ok, but he was never excited to go. This time, I took a chance and searched Rover and landed on Sara’s page. From the beginning she made me feel comfortable. She’s super communicative and seemed excited about staying with my boy. During the stay, I got frequent pictures and updates, which was great for my anxiety, this being the first time I’ve left him at home without family watching him. But, that wasn’t the best part. I got to watch my boy be completely head over heels for Sara! He seemed so happy to have her here and was so happy when I got home. It was as if he had the best weekend ever! 20/10 stars, would absolutely recommend and will absolutely book again.”
About: You can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your dog is receiving dedicated, one-on-one care in my home. Since I don’t currently have any pets of my own, your dog will be my sole focus, ensuring they feel safe, welcome, and active. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of room for supervised play and exercise. Because I work remotely, your pet will have constant companionship and the freedom to enjoy the yard throughout the day. Having previously owned a Golden Retriever and two mixed-breed rescues, I am experienced in caring for different personalities and activity levels. Because I work from home and live alone, your dog becomes my primary companion and the heartbeat of my home. My daily routine is perfectly suited for a pet who thrives on consistency and attention. We start each morning with breakfast and a potty break in the large fenced-in backyard before I settle in for work. While I am at my desk, your dog is welcome to nap in my office or relax at my feet, enjoying a calm and quiet environment. I make it a point to step away from my screen for several breaks throughout the day, which provides the perfect opportunity for us to head outside for fresh air and supervised playtime in the yard. Once I log off for the evening, we head out for a long walk to wind down and get some exercise. My weekends are dedicated to trail walking, and I love having a furry friend join me for these longer outdoor adventures. Since I don't have other pets or children, your dog will truly be the centerpiece of my day and will fit right into my active lifestyle. Since I work from home and live alone, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment where your dog is the sole focus of my attention. My day is built around companionship—your dog can lounge in my office while I work, and we take frequent breaks to play in my large, fully fenced-in backyard. I strictly follow your existing feeding and medication schedule to keep their routine as normal as possible. Because I am active, they will enjoy a long evening walk every day and the option for trail adventures on the weekends.
“Janelle stayed with our 3 dogs for a week and did a great job. Janelle was very responsive when we would reach out for updates, she sent updates and pics and took good care of our pups.”
“Ella was great to work with and took great care of our boy! She was very responsive and accommodating to our schedules. We loved getting updates and photos while we were away. Would definitely recommend and use her services again :)”
“We had Alexa stay at our home with our puppy recently. This was not the easiest ask given it was very hot in our area during her stay and our puppy (prone to heat stroke) needs a fair amount of exercise. Alexa handled it very well. She was very reliable, trustworthy and had great communication before and during our stay, which allowed us to be fully present on our travels and relax while we were away knowing Milo was well cared for. We felt she did a great job and would hire her again in the future without hesitation.”
“Marianna was amazing ! she was highly adaptive , easy to communicate with and super up front. She showed up on time. She gave the dog the best care possible and not once did I worry about her or the dog. I was free to enjoy the weekend and celebrate the events we were in town for. She offered peace of mind knowing she had the best care to offer ! Highly recommend!!!”
“Victoria did a wonderful job watching my pets. She sent many updates and through them I could tell she was taking thoughtful care of my energetic young dog. She was very understanding and empathetic. And when I came home, my home was in perfect order. She truly went above and beyond, and I’d feel very comfortable having her watch my pets in the future.”
About: I have sat dogs, cats, and fish for abiut 12 years. All ages and types and I love doing it! I have a dog of my own and shrimp! I am a current student at nmu and work at the dining hall. After all that I still have several hours in my day to care for animals! I have a dog of my own. At my house we have a fenced in yard and a woods with trail right outside my door. I take my dog out at least once a day and love going outside especially with a furry buddie!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, providing fresh water, giving medications when needed, cleaning up after pets, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs and understand that every animal has their own routine and comfort level. My own pets have also given me years of experience understanding and caring for animals. I’m currently working full time at a vet clinic, but I would be able to stop in on my way into work, on my lunch (depending on how close you are), and on my way home. I’m off on weekends so I would be able to come by more often. We can always talk about my hours and figure things out. I’m a caring, dependable, and animal-loving person who truly enjoys spending time with pets. I have experience caring for dogs and cats and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I scoop my cat’s boxes everyday or every other day. They’re always getting lots of love and spoiled with treats. I play ball with my dog in our yard and go on walks. I’m a very clean person. I love to deep clean my house once a week, but I’m always vacuuming and cleaning. I would always make sure to keep your place clean.
“Bailey was great with our pup Sully! She sent regular updates w/ photos which was really nice since we were about 7hrs away. Sully looked like he was loving life with all of the walks, treats and snuggles. Definitely recommend Bailey!!”
“Katie is an excellent sitter. She keeps in contact throughout each visit and our dogs love her. She spent a week in our home with the dogs while we were on vacation and we returned to two very happy dogs. Before that, she was able to watch our dogs in a spur of the moment situation. It's nice to know your pets are in good hands while you're gone!”
About: When I was young, I had always grown up around dogs & had familiarized myself with their behaviors and antics! As for hands-on experience, I have 2+ years of experience from working at two Animal Shelter’s! For a time, I was an “Animal Caregiver” which was essentially walking dogs, facilitating play groups, administering medications or vaccinations when needed, feeding them, enriching them & learning their behaviors! With the years of experience that i’ve accumulated over time, I have grown very comfortable around most dogs regardless of breed, size, age or needs! I am ready to take on any task thrown at me, and would love to work with you and your furbaby! I am currently working full-time at UPAWS (Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter) and would love to add in some extra time walking dogs, hanging out with cats, or just being able to help out my local community! This will especially help me gain more experience & confident in my caretaking abilites. Of course it depends on the pet and their needs, but I am open to accommodating for any behavioral and/or medical issues if necessary. I will spend plenty of time enriching them (Playing, walking, etc.) as well as encouraging their use of mental stimulation or training. Regardless, I will be sure to keep them on a consistent schedule and give them plenty of love!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marquette
Grace was a perfect dog sitter for our 2 ,12 year old WP Griffons ,her gentle demeanor was perfect for Walden who tends to be anxious.I was thrilled to receive pics of the dogs doing what they normally do when we are home. I also liked that she seemed content to stay overnight at our home in the woods
Claire was great while staying at our house with our husky Kota. She provided pictures and updates while we were away. We knew Claire would be great with Kota as they hit it off during our meet and greet. She exceeded our expectations. Kota can't wait to see her again!
Couldn't be happier. Alexa arrived a few minutes early, which was great. She appeared to have a good understanding of the needs of dogs. While we were gone, she sent 3 pictures which was great. The house looked great when we returned and the dogs looked great. I would highly recommend her and will use her in the future if there is the need and she is available.
Olivia was excellent. Took good care of our somewhat difficult black mouth cur, including at least one walk a day off lease using our e-controller. Was a good sport in following or venturing off our custom routes we linked to in the All Trails app. Kept our house in good condition over our two-week vacation, and was willing to do two walks before this time to meet Tavo and get to know him. We highly recommend her.
Shannon was awesome! Our puppy Sadie was well cared for and got plenty of attention. She barely noticed us leave the house because she was already having fun. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and was a huge success, which allowed us to attend a family wedding all day and into the night with no stress about leaving her. Shannon sent pictures periodically and let us know how everything was going. We would definitely recommend Shannon and would book with her again in a heartbeat!
This was our 3rd sit with Belle. She is great with our dogs, who love her. She keeps us updated on how they're all doing with daily messages and photos. She takes great care of the house which was spotless when we returned. And finally, she is just a really sweet person to talk with and work with. She has become our first choice whenever we need to be out of town.
Hannah was amazing! She made sure that our dog got daily walks, sent updates and photos, and left the house spotless. There was a blizzard during her stay, and it was such a relief to have her there looking after the pets and house. We loved having her & will definitely hire her again!

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 Marquette 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 Marquette 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Marquette 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
