“jillian was there when we needed her and sat with our pups while we had to take care of medical issues… the pups bonded with her immediately… They werw sad when she left.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ive always had pets in the house and I have always had responsibilities to take care of them. Our 14 year old husky/heeler mix just crossed the rainbow bridge but we had him since he was 8 weeks old so dont worry if your babies are loud and rowdy I can handle it. I also have a sweet 2 year old corgi who is basically a toddler and a t-rex combined. I have two adorable cats who I love. I have house sat for family members for the past 5-6 years and love getting to spend time with their animals. I currently work full time but I leave early (usually around 6:30 am) and get back early (usually about 4:00pm) but weekends im all yours!! So there is plenty of time for play! I will follow your schedule as needed. I know how important it is to keep things at home as stable as possible when it comes to your pets! But dont worry there will be lots of love and playtime!!
“Tawny was so great with our dog, Hank! Took her on walks and was very attentive with her. He is an excellent communicator. Keeping us up to date before he arrived and while watching Hank. I would definitely book him again!”
“Michelle house sat for a couple of those rare days when both my hubs and I were both out of town. She left the house in great condition, and was sure to check in with us on our two kitty cats, who needed some extra attention while we were gone. She has a gentle demeanor that I think is particularly well-matched to cats!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of formal veterinary education, hands-on medical experience, and specialized behavioral handling. Having completed coursework in veterinary science and veterinary assisting, I bring a professional understanding of animal health, safety protocols, and early illness detection that standard pet sitters often lack. I am fully confident administering oral or topical medications, ensuring pets with strict medical needs or chronic conditions never miss a dose. Furthermore, my background with behavioral issues means I can accurately read animal body language, manage stress triggers, and provide a calm, safe environment for anxious rescues, high-energy puppies, or senior pets requiring gentle, specialized care. Pet care serve as the core structure of your daily routine by setting fixed times for feeding, exercise, and play. Daily Anchors: Schedule morning and evening feedings, regular walks, and playtime at consistent times each day to give structure to your morning and afternoon. Midday Engagement: Dedicate open daytime blocks to longer walks, trick training, or grooming, which helps keep both you and your pet active. Weekly Tasks: Set aside specific days for deeper maintenance, like cleaning food bowls, washing bedding, and stocking up on supplies. Care for pets—whether in your home or a client's—centers on establishing strict safety routines, maintaining clear communication, and respecting behavioral boundaries. Safe and trustworthy environment for both settings: In Your Home (Boarding or Daycare) Since you can only host pets that get along with others, pre-screening and temperament testing are critical: Conduct a "Meet & Greet": Always meet new client pets on neutral ground (like a local park or quiet sidewalk) before accepting a booking to observe how they react to other animals and strangers. Controlled Introductions: Introduce pets slowly on-leash, watching for tense body language (stiff posture, hard stares, raised hackles) before allowing free interaction. Separation Capability: Maintain dedicated, secure spaces (such as crates, playpens, or separate rooms) so pets can eat, sleep, or rest without stress or competition. Always separate animals during feeding time. Home-Proofing: Ensure backyards are fully fenced with locked gates, hide all cords/cleaning supplies, and keep trash cans secured. In the Client’s Home (House Sitting or Pet Sitting) When caring for pets in their own environment, consistency and home security are key: Follow Their Routine: Adhere strictly to the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, medication, walk routes, and bedtime rules to keep the pet calm and secure. Maintain Home Security: Keep doors and windows locked, ensure gate latches are secured, and properly manage keys or security codes. Leash & Door Safety: Never let pets off-leash in un-fenced areas, and always double-check door latches or gate locks before letting a pet loose in a yard. Emergency Readiness: Have the vet’s contact info, emergency clinic locations, and pet insurance or payment preferences clearly laid out before the owner leaves. Communication & Trust Daily Updates: Send regular photos, videos, and brief notes about feeding, potty habits, and mood to give owners complete peace of mind. Honesty First: If a pet shows anxiety, behavioral issues, or signs of illness, notify the owner promptly to discuss next steps together.
About: I have always had a love for dogs. I walked dogs for my neighbors in my early teens. Helped my father’s dog through her birth of 11 puppies. And most recently, my 16 year old Australian Shepherd passed away just a few months ago. I adopted him at 8 weeks old and from the beginning we had a special bond. I was able to teach him things like opening doors for people. And he passed the test to become a therapy dog! I love all types of dogs. I will always treat your dog as my own. I work most nights and weekends as a restaurant manager, about 30-40 hours per week. Typically, I have the same days off every week and available most mornings. I will update my calendar as my schedule becomes available. I can easily travel to you and am able to transport your dog in my vehicle, if needed. I’m happy to walk with your dog as much as they need.
“Mckenzie was an awesome sitter! Even with short notice, she was able to come meet my animals and see my place before staying the weekend with them. She immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my animals and house in her care and that comfort continued throughout the 4 nights she was with them. I would definitely recommend Mckenzie to anybody looking for a sitter in the Ogden area!”
About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 20 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!
“I have never had a better pet sitter/house sitter than Natalie and I’m pretty sure there isn’t one out there. Her love, care and attention to detail are amazing. Our pets didn’t miss us at all.”
“WOW! This was our first time using Rover. Larissa was amazing. She sent us pictures and videos of our little Yorkie. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again. Thanks Larissa!”
About: Spending time with your pet is my pleasure, and I would care for them as if they were my own. As far back as I can remember I have been a go-to petsitter for friends, family, and coworkers and am known for being flexible, low maintenance, responsible, and having a blast with pups. I will follow any special instructions to the letter and will give your pet a full measure of attention and playtime. I can also send pictures daily if requested. I am easy to communicate with, and I'm easy to reach by phone, WhatsApp, or your preferred messaging service. I love the outdoors, so if your pup wants to enjoy trails and time at the beach or in the mountains, I'm your girl. I am also happy to have a cuddly kitty or lapdog sit with me in the sun as I work on my laptop. I run my own online business and work from home, so I can provide around-the-clock care for your pet. My schedule is highly flexible, so I can provide regular walks throughout the day and attend to any special needs as they come up. We'll discuss your pet's special needs and unique behaviors ahead of time and meet to acquaint ourselves. Knowing how your pet will react to dogs, cats, wildlife, people, children, noises or other unexpected stimuli is important to know ahead of time. I can care for any special dietary needs or medications, or any other unique needs your pet has. Send me a message and let's chat about your pet!
“Jarrod was awesome, he really treated our house and pets like his own. He tidied up our house and did the dishes, he even vacuumed! He consistently communicated with us and sent us all the photos! Thank you, Jarrod!”
“Maxton just keeps getting better as a sitter! We cannot recommend him enough. Please see my last review for a more comprehensive explanation of the quality of care that he has provided to our dog Corporal. My only hesitation for giving yet another 5 star review is he may be booked in the future 😄😄”
“Valerie took great care of Frank! She was very patient with me as well. I was unnecessarily worried about leaving Frank with a stranger but Valerie sent me lots of updates and made me feel very comfortable that Frank was safe and happy. Will definitely be using Valerie again in the future.”
“Christina was great! She was proactive for the meet and greet, took great care of our lil cat, and kept us updated with pictures throughout our vacation. Would book again. Thanks Christina!”
“Nicole was a wonderful help while we were away, very attentive, extremely kind and professional, with excellent communication. I would 10/10 recommend this individual to take care of your fluffy children.”

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 Marshall 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 Marshall 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 Marshall 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 with handling special pet needs in Marshall. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
