About: I’ve had and been around pets my whole life and have experience with animals of all sizes. I have house-sat, dog walked, and done routine checking on pets for multiple years for friends and family. I also volunteer at the animal shelter to help animals in need I’m currently working part time and only work a few days a week so I am available almost all the time to check in and help out with animals. My long shifts also contain breaks so I can interact with animals throughout the day even while working. I don’t typically stay overnight for house sitting because of the larger time commitment, but if that is something you are interested in I am able to add a small overnight fee to give your animals the care they need. I know how to handle all kinds of pets in all kinds of sizes and I care for each animal as if it were my own. The safety and health of your animal is my top priority while they are under my care.
“Molly was wonderful! She dropped in to handle walks and meal time for our three dogs. Every one was happy and our home was well cared for. Even our grumpy Olivia enjoyed her time with Molly. We are looking forward to her in home sitting next week.”
“Leonitia, is amazing! This is our first time using a pet sitter for our cat Goldie and she put us at ease. She is great in communicating and very accommodating. Definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone! Will be using her services again. Thanks, Leonitia from us & Goldie”
About: As a dog mom with 16 years of experience caring for my own pets, I understand that dogs deserve more than just basic care. I rescued my own dog from terrible conditions and gave her the love, patience, and safe home she deserved. That experience taught me how important compassion, attention, and dedication are to an animal's well-being. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for, and I would bring that same commitment, time, and affection to your furry family member as if they were my own! I am currently a college student, but I have a flexible schedule with plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I am available from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM. On Tuesdays, I am available throughout the morning and afternoon until 5:30 PM. My class schedule leaves me with plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, playtime, and affection they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine! I have a sweet and friendly Golden Lab who loves being around other dogs and would be happy to have some furry company! I enjoy taking my dog on long walks, playing outside, and making sure she gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I would provide that same level of care to your dog, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's going on walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply spending quality time together, I want every dog in my care to feel right at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I always do my best to make sure they receive personalized attention and care!
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
“Lauren provided excellent care for our cats - she was attentive to all their needs; played with them and made sure they were safe while we were gone. I will definitely rebook her and recommend her to care for anyone’s pets.”
About: I’ve worked in the dog boarding industry and have experience in pet sitting as well as tending to my own pets. Any routine needed I can adjust to, I’m big on positive training but I am not certified to do so but with permission will implement it into check ins and activities! Weekends work for me although I can come at other times, I’m part time in my ministry and am open to different schedules if needed. I keep a sharp eye on whomever I’m watching while outside and find different activities tailored to their liking, my goal is to keep them safe and happy they have company.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for years, and every dog I care for becomes my little best friend. I have a special soft spot for golden retrievers, but I love pups of all kinds! I’m active and enjoy walks and playtime just as much as lazy couch cuddles. I’m flexible and happy to follow your dog’s routine, whether they’re full of energy or prefer taking it easy. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away. I love puppies. I can also do senior care giving them medication doesn’t bother me at all. Anything that makes them feel comfortable. I work full-time hybrid. My current schedule I am off until November 30 so I have full-time flexibility. This allows me to spend all my time caring for a dog. Lots of outdoor time I live across from four Mile Creek so I do a lot of walks. My parents have a huge fenced in yard. I have taken dogs there to be able to play awful leash. I’m very active in group fitness other than that. I’m pretty much a homebody but any dog that’s usually with me. Is my best friend and comes with me everywhere or I just spend all my time with them.! I live in a one bedroom apartment and most Dogsitting that I do is in the owner’s. However, I recently had a friend bring her Lab to stay with me at my apartment while she had some day trips and he absolutely loved it. I was able to take him on a walk to the Greenway. We had easy access for potty brakes and I live very close to my parents that have a fenced in yard on 1 acre! My parents have an Australian Shepherd, but I don’t introduce dogs unless the owner is OK with it. This past situation he loved having a friend to play with so I was able to introduce them and then they had a big play date and I was also able to take them to my parents yard just one on one and by the time he got home, he was exhausted!
“Brea is wonderful! My dog immediately fell in love during this drop-in visit. She is very attentive and really works well with my dog. I am so relieved and excited that she will be helping me with my dog. I am grateful to have found a great sitter who really understands dogs.”
“Shakoya is always so sweet to my babies. She treats them like her own. She makes sure to take several pictures and gives detailed updates. She is very accommodating even if it's last minute. Truly a great sitter and shes very appreciated.”
About: I’ve grown up wanting a dog for many years and finally surprised my family with a rescue puppy. I’ve fully trained her from 8 weeks old and now she’s 5! She lives with my parents now but I’m ready to redo the process and help take care of another dog! I’m currently working a hybrid schedule and i’m free to take care of a friendly dog Thursday through Sunday! I have a very relaxed workday Thursday and Friday so i’m always available. I prioritize the safety of the dog and will make sure they’re comfortable with my living space and me. I will offer my patience and time to make sure everything goes well!
“Marina did a great job with twice daily drop-ins for 3 cats for 4 days. The cats where all comfortable with her and all went smoothly. She also seems to be a genuinely nice person. She is going to come by for drop-ins for my cats on my next trip as well!”
“Sarah is hands down the best sitter we’ve worked with! She is the absolute sweetest and so detailed with her updates. We know our pups had an absolutely amazing time with her. We were beyond pleased with her service and will absolutely be booking with her again. We recommend Sarah a million times over!”
About: My current job is taking care of dogs of all sizes and I love every moment of it. I have also grown up with two large dogs that are the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. I currently work at a pet boarding/ day care job so I currently work with pets. I can work around my work schedule to find a time that works for you. Just a heads up, I am usually scheduled for 8 hour shifts so it would be ideal if your pet is ok being alone for that long. I have two dogs of my own and they are very well house trained so that they don’t have to go in a crate when we leave the house and they get plenty of play time with us inside and outside.
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’ve taken care of many dogs for my family, friends, and neighbors! Most of my experience includes in home pet sitting, walking, and check-ins. I’m a long time animal lover and I’m excited to meet yours! I’m currently an online college student, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available all weekend, Monday and Tuesday. If you need care for longer, that can also be arranged! Depending on your pets needs I can provide check-ins or an in-home pet sitting, offering a more comfortable time for your pets while you’re away!
About: I’ve been dog sitting for the past 5 years. I’ve been dog sitting for the same clients all this time. I love their dogs like they are my own. They got lots of attention, snuggles and love! I work from home so I have lots of time to walk, play and attend to your pups! Also, I have a very golden retriever who loves to play! Your pup will never be unattended or off the leash when outdoors. I can crate if required. I have a friendly golden retriever who loves to play!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marvin
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!
Gracie was incredible! Our dog isn’t the easiest but she took care of her and our cat effortlessly. She is very punctual and very communicative, never felt like I had to pry to figure out what was going on at home she just always said everything in her reports and mentioned anything out of the ordinary she saw day to day. She even left food out for the stray cats that come by! Thanks so much for everything!
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!
Cortney is friendly and reliable and punctual, I asked her to bring her dog over to my house for a drop-in because I have a golden retriever as well and I wanted them to be able to play together. She was right on time and sent me a nice update with photos of her visit. My dog told me she is looking forward to having more play dates soon!

On Rover, 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.

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.

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.
