“Catherine provided great care to our 2 pups! She stayed with them for a long time every visit and sent regular pictures and updates to keep me in the loop! Will definitely use her again to look after our dogs :)”
“Tori was great, she took very good care of our home and dog over this past weekend. Tori sent daily status emails and texts with several photos included. These helped keep us informed of how Toby was acclimating as this was the 1st time we had left him home with a sitter. Toby seemed to enjoy his time with Tori, and they went outside to play a few times a day.”
“Isabel is kind, loving and reliable. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter for our family. Not only did our dogs take to her immediately, but my house was spotless when we got back. She’s the best!”
“Gloria was an excellent pet sitter. She was very attentive to every detail; her communication was timely and detailed; she went above and beyond to ensure our pets safety and well being.”
“Kyle was wonderful with taking care of our Charlotte (85# Lab). He played with her, took her out multiple times during the day and kept her happy. He was also very respectful of our home and are thrilled with the care he provided to our girl.”
About: My experience started when i was about 14. I started watching family dogs and cats for money and it slowly became a passion. I work now at a dog resort which has daycare, boarding, bathing, and is now adding training. There I do bathing services, doggy daycare, feeding, administering medication. And that includes Cats as well. My aunt fosters cats/kittens and I have raised 2 dogs starting at month 3 as my grandpa adopted puppies. I helped and have experience with both little puppies and kittens. I love animals so much. I am super happy with this passion and hope to experience and learn more in the future. And am excited to work with you! I work currently at a Resort facility who works with both cats and dogs. And our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. I work day to day in that facility walking, feeding, medicating, and so much more. I have learned so much about animal behavior and have a pet of my own at home who I take care of day to day. So i work with pets daily. It will depend on what service you are looking for. I can do a basic bath for your pet in your home. (No nail trimming, and you would provide the bath and products you would like used.) For Boarding, either coming to me or me coming to you I can provide playtimes, long/short walks, administration of medication, litter-box cleaning, and more. For walks I can do walks in the neighborhood or take your dog to a dog park! And so much more! I am open to suggestions and ideas of what I can add/offer!
“We are so grateful that Anahita was able to help us with Boomer, even though it was a little last minute. She was very attentive and responsive. Very lucky to have her close by!!”
“Melissa was an absolute dream to work with for my two standard poodles! She stayed at my house while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I came home, the house actually looked better than when I left it — everything was neat, clean, and in perfect order. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and well cared for. I came home to happy, relaxed, well-exercised dogs who clearly adored her. This was hands-down the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had. I will definitely be using Melissa again for future trips! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“We used Marsha and she was wonderful!! It was a seamless situation and we will definitely use her again!!! Very polite, friendly, tidy, thorough and most importantly great with our dog!!!”
“Preston was great with both of our dogs! He was really knowledgeable with how to care for our senior dog and handle his medication and was available on pretty short notice! We’ll definitely want to rebook next time we go out of town.”
“A wonderful pet/home sitter, Amirah provides excellent, thorough care. Her love for animals is apparent in all she does: meeting our dogs and cat prior to the sit, asking questions to clarify responsibilities and expectations, consistent communication and updates, even photos of our fur babies. She sat for our two dogs and cat for two weeks in our home. We would not hesitate to book her again.”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough. I needed someone to watch my three dogs over the Christmas holidays while I traveled for urgent family needs. I was honestly very worried about leaving them behind during such a chaotic time, but Steven made the entire process incredibly easy. From our very first conversation to the moment I got back, his communication was top-notch. He stayed at my home and kept me in the loop with daily updates, which allowed me to focus on my family without stress. He even brought in packages that arrived while I was away. If you need a trustworthy, communicative sitter who will treat your home and pets with respect, hire Steven!”
“Ella is an incredible Pet Sitter! She is conscientious, attentive, and really, really good with animals. She was very responsive to all of my texts. My dog was recovering from surgery and she administered all medications and was careful with stairs, running, and jumping. I enjoyed my vacation because I didn’t have to worry about the care of my pet while I was gone. Thank you, Ella for a great job!”
“Laila was incredible! My boys had the best time with her. They went on so many walks, had so much play time, and received an abundance of attention. Both of them pull quite a bit on their walks, and she got them to relax and enjoy the scenery! Not only that, she managed to tire my super energetic 6 y/o out (which is basically impossible) Laila sent a bunch of pictures & videos & remained extremely responsive the entire time. If I could leave her more than 5 stars, I would!”
About: Hi, I'm Alyssa! Dogs and cats have been part of my life for decades, and caring for them is my passion. I've pet sat for all kinds of personalities, from playful pups to cuddly cats, and I treat every pet like my own. Expect walks, snuggles, playtime, and regular updates so you can travel worry-free. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I'm currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible and I'm home for much of the day. That means I can stick to your pet's normal feeding, walk, and play schedule, give them plenty of attention, and be available for last-minute or extended stays. Your pet won't be left alone for long stretches with me. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with their own bed, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of attention. I follow your pet's feeding, medication, and bedtime routines so they stay comfortable and feel at ease. In your home, I keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible, with feedings, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles on their usual schedule. I also bring in mail, tidy up after your pet, and send you photo and text updates throughout the stay.

The average cost of House Sitting in Marshall is $71 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $91 per night.

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 , 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.
