Very happy with how well Nadine took care of all of our pets and our home while we were out of town. The animals all liked her right away, the home was clean when we got home, and she was very responsive with updates.

Good communication. Willingness to do a meet and greet and house sit on short notice was a life saver. Rachel and family seem to really love pets and get to know their personalities. Our animals were all happy when we came home.

I wish I could give Megan more than 5 stars! Megan was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Benji! She came to our home to watch him, & I could tell right away she genuinely cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was punctual, kind, and so easy to communicate with. While we were out, she kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Megan treated him like her own, which made us feel so at ease! When we got home, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great day. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants their pets cared for like family!

Kendra was amazing!! She came over to our home prior to house/dog sitting to meet our babies. She kept us updated while we were away with how the dogs were doing. She also sent pictures. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!

About: I’ve had experience caring for both dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide patient, loving, and reliable care that helps them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable caring for energetic dogs who love to play as well as older dogs who may need a calmer environment and extra patience. I always prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels happy and cared for. As a pet lover, I treat every animal as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. As someone who’s new to the area, I’m excited to make connections within the community while doing something I genuinely love. I enjoy being outdoors rain or shine, so daily walks, playtime, and exercise are something I look forward to. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and routine. I believe every pet deserves plenty of attention, love, and reliable care, and I treat each one as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while keeping their environment clean and safe. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I prioritize communication by providing regular updates and photos throughout my visits or stay. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet by treating them with the same care and love I would give my own animals.

Jenna was such a wonderful sitter for our 2 dogs for a 3 day vacation. House was very clean and she took out the trash and stripped the beds, even though we didn’t tell her to do so. The dogs were so comfortable with her and it was like we weren’t even gone! We will definitely be booking again in the future!!

Allison recently stayed with Maisie again for 4 days. I say “again” because we are repeat customers of Allison’s. she is such a great dog/housesitter. I know I can travel without worrying about Maisie’s care and without the hassle of taking Maisie someplace else. And the condo is spotless when I return. Thank you Allison!

Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.

Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.

Aaliyah watched my two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of them & our home even though my boys put her in some tough & unexpected situations. There were late nights, early mornings, and lots of phone calls & texts messages. I'd definitely book her again if she'd accept me!

About: ***So you want a housesitter?Please read carefully before booking. ***I have an 11lb Havanese in my home who will be w/me for housesitting and boarding assignments*** I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services. Very flexible and try to respond promptly bc we all have busy lives. I do not have a crate. Bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***Housesitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight housesitting assignments. He's house-trained, does not shed and very friendly with people and other dogs.*** ***Boarding / House-sitting requests please note that I have a 1yr old 11lb Havanese in my home. Very social, friendly and playful. He gets along w/all people and dogs. He will also be w/me for any house-sitting bookings. House-trained and not destructive.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feedings as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. ***I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention. My Havanese will be present for boardings and will accompany me for house-sitting bookings***

Abby was a fantastic sitter for our elderly cat, Bob, who has some pretty high snuggle needs. She went out of her way to introduce herself in person before our trip, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Bob's routine and personality. While we were away, she was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, giving us regular updates that made us feel so at ease. Bob seemed to warm up to Abby quickly, and it was clear he was well cared for while we were gone. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us true peace of mind. We’d absolutely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Marquisville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Marquisville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 643 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marquisville. 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 Marquisville 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 Marquisville 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 Marquisville 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marquisville. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
