“Jeadyce was wonderful taking care of our two babies. Jeadyce kept us abreast of all duties related to their care and beyond. Based on our constant communication and pictures she sent through, including how we found our home impeccable, we won't hesitate to arrange for Jeadyce to take her care of them again.”
About: I’m a pet lover. I have been an owner of cats, small & bigs dogs, birds & fish. It’s natural for me to take care of them and to get what they need. I remember that I adopted a mixed Husky who was born with some issues at his back legs. But for me I knew he worth it, to be loved as any other dogs. I’m experienced to handle puppies, to take care different ages & breeds of dogs. Keeping pets active, fed and cared is the most important for me I will take care your dogs like they was mine. And will provided them all my attention to keep them safe, bring more fun & love to make every journey unique until they get back to you.
“Brittany was very communicative and sweet to my 2 doggos! She sent pictures which made me feel at ease that my girls were happy and having fun! I will definitely be using her again! Thank you!”
“Lauren was very detail-oriented and thorough. She followed my instructions to a tee and asked her own questions to make sure she was prepared. She left my house exactly how I left it. She took such great care of my fur baby and always gave descriptions that were intentional and creative. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her again for my next vacation away.”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I bring not just a love for dogs, but a deep understanding of their needs at every stage of life. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need play, structure, and basic training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, medication, and gentle handling. I’m calm, responsible, and detail-oriented, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also pay close attention to each pup’s unique personality and routine, so your dog feels right at home—even when you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my day to prioritize walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care each dog might need. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, love, and activity throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to each dog’s needs, making sure they stay happy, healthy, and well-cared for at all times. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or favorite toys and routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and love while keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and caring for pets is something that genuinely makes me happy! 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pup has their own routine, quirks, and needs. I also have a background in the medical field, which has given me experience with medication administration, following specific instructions, monitoring for changes, and providing attentive care. I’m comfortable giving pets medications as directed by their owners or veterinarian, including oral medications, and I understand how important it is to follow their normal routine carefully. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they’re used to. I’m also comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, reassurance, or time to warm up. When your pets are in my care, I treat them like they’re my own. My goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and maybe a little spoiled while you’re away. 💕🐶 I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing! I have full availability on the weekends. I work until 3pm everyday and live a few minutes from work so I don’t have a commute. My availability is limited Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday because of my second job. I I live on the first floor of an apartment with a patio that my fur baby loves to sun bathe on. I have a dog park and plenty of space to go on long or short works depending on what your baby needs.
“Nikki did such an amazing job caring for our two pups during a 4 day house sitting. As littermates, they needed someone with extra patience and experience handling their occasional reactivity. She really took the time to get to know them and understand their individual behaviors. Nikki made us feel so comfortable with regular updates, and adorable pictures. She even managed to leave the house cleaner than when she arrived! Next booking is just weeks away, twice as long, and we have no doubts that she'll be fantastic with them again!”
“If I could give Richard more than five stars, I would. Leaving our beloved Oliver and Stella for a week while we traveled to Colorado was much easier because of Richard. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was his communication. He kept us updated on everything, from eating habits and supplements to potty breaks and sleeping arrangements. We never had to wonder how they were doing because Richard always let us know. He paid attention to details that mattered and genuinely cared about their safety. When the weather was extremely hot, he adjusted their routine accordingly and made sure they stayed comfortable rather than risking walks in unsafe temperatures. It was also clear that Oliver and Stella adored him. They cuddled with him, sat on his lap, and settled in beautifully. Those little updates meant the world to us and showed just how much love and attention they were receiving. Richard is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your pets: caring, responsible, attentive, and genuinely invested in their happiness. We would absolutely book with him again and honestly hope he becomes our permanent sitter whenever we're away. Oliver and Stella give him two paws way up!”
“Ashlie was amazing! She stayed with our dog and cat for 4 days 3 nights while we were away and they had the best time. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”
“Sophia was absolutely wonderful!!! She stayed overnight with our dogs and took such great care of them while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and such a great communicator from start to finish!!! We loved getting all of the photos and updates, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy and well cared for. She took them out several times a day for walks, gave them lots of attention, and made sure they were comfortable and loved!!! We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, and we are so grateful for the care Sophia gave them. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!!!”
“Erica was absolutely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! She was so sweet and took great care of both of our dogs while my husband and I were out of town. She sent multiple updates with pictures of them throughout the day. She stayed at our house and the place was spotless when we returned. My dogs were very comfortable around her and got lots of cuddles while we were gone. I will definitely reach back out to Erica again when needed!”
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.
“Christina was amazing and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She came down before the job to meet us and the pets. We immediately felt comfortable with her and our dogs both loved her. She communicated with us while we were away and was even kind enough to send pet updates and pictures. Our home was well respected and exactly as we had left it. I’d highly recommend Christina as a house and pet sitter”
“Alina is amazing!! I would love to hire her for all our needs!! She treated our baby with love and gave him so much attention! Kept us updated with pictures! Highly recommend her!!!”
“Ann was great, very communicative and sent great pictures. My house was super neat and tidy when I got home, maybe tidier than when I left! Our pup was very happy while we were gone.”
“Reagan took care of our critters for 7 days while we were gone on a family vacation. She kept us updated and took wonderful care of them. We will be booking with her again!”
“Lia was so kind! She shared tons of updates and photos and was very patient with us and our dogs! We could not have asked for a better experience. She took great care of our dogs and home.”

Miles was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our fur babies so we were definitely nervous but Miles was very reassuring! He gave us plenty of updates and pictures which was great especially for my kiddos and took great care of our pets! Highly recommend, thank you Miles again!
Jeadyce was wonderful taking care of our two babies. Jeadyce kept us abreast of all duties related to their care and beyond. Based on our constant communication and pictures she sent through, including how we found our home impeccable, we won't hesitate to arrange for Jeadyce to take her care of them again.
Can't thank John enough for helping with Poppy care, he has a great personality and Poppy enjoyed the day in his care. He kept us updated on Poppy's activities, sent pictures and even checked in on her the next day. Will definitely consider him to house sit again for us
Sophia was absolutely incredible! From the moment we left, we knew Jenny and Sparkie were in the best hands. She took such wonderful care of both our dogs and our home, providing regular updates, pictures, and plenty of walks, playtime, and love. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for, allowing us to truly enjoy our time away without worry. When we returned home, the house was spotless, and Jenny and Sparkie were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. It's obvious that Sophia genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. We couldn't recommend Sophia more highly and will absolutely be asking her to stay with Jenny and Sparkie again. Thank you, Sophia, for taking such amazing care of our family, you exceeded every expectation!
We had a wonderful experience with Ariana! She took great care of both our dogs and made sure she did everything she could to make them happy and comfortable while we were away. Ariana had great communication throughout our trip! We also came home to a clean, well-kept house which gave us peace of mind. We absolutely would recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!
I felt at ease knowing my dogs were with Brittney. She is friendly and had a calm, but energetic energy, which is just what my dogs need! I came home to happy dogs and will definitely want her to sit my dogs again. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures. I couldn’t tell that she was in my home—there was no chaos which is a big deal for me.
Bailey was super sweet with my girls! They immediately took to her. She took good care of my house as well. I so appreciate when someone leaves the house in the same condition (or better) as when I left it! She was very responsive and open to feedback as well. I look forward to using her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Marvin is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 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 Marvin 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 Marvin 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 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!
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 Marvin. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
