“Grace & Mara were wonderful sitters! They took care of our three fur-babies while we were on family vacation. They had excellent communication the entire time and gave extra attention to our dog who deals with separation anxiety. We highly recommend them for your future pet care services!”

About: As a teen I loved to help walk neighborhood dogs before working in childcare 9+ years. I say pet care isn’t far from caring for babies. I am just whom you are looking for to care for your fur family members’ I’m Nora and I’m job hunting for remote work at the moment, so lots of time for pet care and walks. My full-time Rover care schedule is Sun-Fri and any boarding options are open after August 10th 2024. Thank you for reading through my profile! I have a semi attached home with an unfenced back yard and a safe shady neighborhood for strolling around in. A crate is needed for overnight boarding.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for approximately 8 years, beginning in middle school when I started helping my mom care for pets in our community. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away from home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am able to accommodate pet care visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting, and I do my best to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed. I am reliable, consistent, and always communicate clearly about my availability so pet parents know what to expect. environment in every visit. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to detail, keep doors and entry points secure, and treat every home with respect. I also make sure pets are supervised during visits and receive patient, attentive care based on their individual needs and personality. My goal is to create a safe and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

A warm, caring, and empathetic person by nature, I would love to be able to assist you in your dog care needs! I currently have two rescues of my own and they are the sweetest.

While the kids are in school and I’m not on a shoot, i have the free time and flexibility to help out with dog walks, feedings, play time…etc! My two dogs are both rescues. They are both so sweet. Both are type B and all vaccines. We have a huge yard for them to run around in!

“Eli’s wonderful! She’s incredibly reliable and prompt, and her communication is always excellence. I never have to wonder how things are going or whether our pups have been taken care of. I know I can count on her. She truly spends time with our pups, giving them lots of love attention and of course, a few treats! 😊 Eli is always very attentive to our home, which gives me such peace of mind when we’re away. I especially appreciate that she’s willing to help with light household tasks when we’re gone for an extended period. One of my favorite things is getting pictures of the pups! Seeing their happy faces and knowing they’re enjoying their time with Eli makes being away a little easier. Eli’s dependable, caring, attentive, and someone I completely trust with both of our pups and our home. We’re so grateful to have her and would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs, for example, helping energetic dogs burn off energy through long walks/playing in the backyard and attentive care for senior dogs who might need a little more assistance! I’m comfortable administering oral medications, working with puppies on basic manners, and walking dogs that pull on leash. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care! As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! Since I am currently not working another job, I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I can accommodate most schedules, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. My goal is to provide reliable care and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I do have a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and exercise. I also have dogs of my own of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, which has given me a lot of experience caring for many different personalities and needs. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate, monitor all interactions, and can separate pets if needed to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels happy and safe while in my care!

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, haven’t yet met an animal that didn’t like me. I have experience with difficult dogs, nervous and overly excitable fur missiles. I’m willing to work with them as long as I feel safe to do so but im not a trainer, I don’t know how to make them unlearn bad behaviors and learn good ones. Right now I don’t have a regular full time job, I have been searching and applying but no offers as of yet. I have no kids or pets of my own so I’m available at nearly any time, from drop-in visits to overnight sitting. I understand letting a stranger into your home is unsettling, I don’t take it for granted and I’ll do my best to respect your home and pets. I don’t currently have my own home, I live with others so I’m unable to board pets. It tends to be less stress anyways for the pet to stay home where they are in a familiar environment. Unless they have a rigid routine involving sleeping in your bed with you, and won’t go to bed otherwise, I tend to stay on the couch.

About: I have a two year old and a 9 month old dog, both girls. I also foster dogs, have been for close to a year now. I love dogs and would love to watch over your fur baby while you are away and rest assured they will be babied just the same as my own. Please note that I work 9-5 during the week, and come home for about 30-40 minutes for lunch around noon. Typically I am only gone in 3-4 hour stretches. Your dog will not be left alone for longer than a 5-6 hr stretch at the MOST, which is typically ok for an adult dog but I really try to avoid that at all costs for both my babies and yours. I am home in the evenings Mon-Fri, work from home on Friday, and home most of the weekend. I do work a dinner serving shift at the restaurant on Saturdays but hoping to stop that soon as dog sitting picks up. Your dog will either be crated or separated into their own room while I am away to keep everyone safe, we can discuss what works best for your dog. I have crates for all dog sizes. Must be (mostly) potty trained and must be spayed/neutered. I work 9-5 during the week, and come home for about 30-40 minutes for lunch around noon. Typically I am only gone in 3-4 hour stretches.

I have extra rooms, baby gates, and play pens. Everyone gets fed separately to avoid any kind of resource guarding. All dogs get at least a 30 minute walk per day and of course lots of play time with me and/or my dogs. Will happily follow whatever instructions you provide for your pet. Their comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for in my home. Walking/drop in: will make sure to follow your instructions. Lots of play and love.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for years now and have always loved it since I’m an animal lover at heart. I’ve taken care of everything from high energy pups to bearded dragons! I’m currently working part-time, but i’m always flexible for weekdays. Hopefully I’ll be able to be full time for pets soon! You can always ask me. I currently offer drop-ins and walks! I own a cat with felv who isn’t very fond of other cats or dogs, so I cannot board. Since I have a feline friend who is felv+ i’m very comfortable with administering medications! I always prefer being able to spend as much time with the pets as possible, which I will always be able to provide as many drop-ins as needed!

About: Hey everyone , I’m Megan! I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My husband and I adopted our rescue lab mix pup Chloe about 9 years ago and she is very loveable, cuddly, and the friendliest dog ever. I am a nurse and only work 3 days a week so I’m looking to hang out with some new dogs on my days off and give Chloe someone to play with ! We have a large fenced in back yard to run around and play and also have lots of places around the neighborhood to go for walks. We are also fine just lounging around the house and watching tv if that is more your dogs style! Chloe and I can’t wait to meet and take care of your loved ones :) I work 3 days a week as a nurse and am home two days plus the weekend with my 4 year old daughter and infant son. My husband also works from home 3 days a week so someone is always home! I’m currently looking to do drop in visits on my days off as well as dog boarding! When I’m caring for a dog, I treat them just like I would my own! I will be very respectful of the rules that the owner has in place.

About: Experienced lifelong animal lover offering reliable, dedicated pet care. Having personally cared for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and livestock—I understand the unique needs and temperaments of different pets. I bring patience, strong empathy, and attentive, playful energy to ensure your pets feel safe, active, and comfortable while you're away. I work in the mornings and I'm off on the evenings. If you like me to stay at your home I can do that too, I've done it before with my aunt's and cousin's cat I have a kitty on my own, her name is Velvette. I wake up at 5am to get myself ready for work, before I leave around 6:30am I feed her tuna, and pour some of her dry food in another bowl. When I come back I give her treats, play with her, she follows me around and then we lay together in bed and then 10am I feed her tuna again

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8 years and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own! I currently have clinicals during the week, but I’m typically available after 5 PM. I have more flexibility on weekends and love spending my free time caring for, walking, and giving pups plenty of attention and love. I care for every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I have two crate-trained dogs, and I’m happy to keep them separate if that makes your pup more comfortable. I can also crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine and you prefer it.

Jackie was amazing with my girls!! Shelby has anxiety & she loved Jackie the moment they met. She made Shelby feel comfortable & did everything right so Shelby wasn’t scared. Jackie also made sure Hemi got plenty of love & attention. I was able to go out of town with no worries & that is the best feeling as a pet mom!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Marvin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Marvin on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,948 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Marvin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Marvin 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Marvin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
