“Jill is AMAZING! Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and is shy around new people, so we were a little nervous to leave her with a sitter for the first time. Turns out we had nothing to worry about — Jill was incredibly understand, kind and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure Aspen was comfortable and happy. Will absolutely rebook in the future. She is just the best!”
“We were very nervous to leave our ten week old puppy for the night, but Walker did such a great job with him! She took him out to potty frequently, played with him, and sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our minds were at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. We will undoubtedly be using Walker’s services in the future!”
“Madison was awesome helping my wife and I out with a last minute booking! She was great with both the dogs and cats and spent far more time with them than was expected! She took great care of our home and sent lots of cute pictures while we were out of town. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and hope to do so in the future!”
“Justin was great as always! Took care of our fur babies and even watered my garden and took the trash cart to the street for us while we were away! Definitely recommend!”
“Brittany is absolutely awesome!! I love the care and compassion she provided for Lulu while we were gone on vacation. She sent me so many pictures and updates on how their day was together. Brittany stays at our house and I highly recommend her for those types of stays as well. She keep our house in great shape, very clean, and helps out with small tasks when asked. We love Brittany!!”
“Karyna was amazing to our fur babies! She house sat and cared for our 3 year old and 16 year old pups like they were her own. She sent us updates and pics/videos of them while we were on vacation and it was much appreciated! Karyna left our house tidy when she left. Thank you!!!!!!”
“John and Diane are the absolute best! John provided the highest quality of care to our two dogs while we were away and we got daily updates letting us know how they were doing. John was very attentive to their needs, always communicated quickly, and was a very trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again!”
“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!!!”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals and currently sharing my 2 homes with three dogs and a cat. My house’s are full of different personalities and energy levels, which has taught me how to read an animal’s needs quickly and provide the right kind of care. I know that every animal is different. Whether you have a reactive dog who needs a calm, patient hand or a senior pet who needs a gentle approach and a medication routine, I’m ready to help. From the endless energy of puppies and kittens to the quiet companionship of older pets, I have the experience to make sure your best friend feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I’m currently a college student at ECU! I’m home for the summer and have a part time job but schedule is extremely flexible! At home, my pets are family, and their well-being is my top priority. I manage a busy household with three dogs and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments-from high-energy puppies to calm seniors and even reactive personalities. I take a structured yet affectionate approach to their care, focusing on: • Routine & Reliability: Maintaining consistent feeding schedules and a clean environment. • Mental & Physical Health: Ensuring everyone gets the right amount of exercise and play to stay happy. • Individualized Attention: I'm highly observant of their unique body language, making sure I provide space or engagement exactly when they need it.
“This is the second time having Lauren housesit. She was very caring, thorough, and detail oriented. Her communication and pictures made me know that my fur baby was in great hands. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Karleen went above and beyond while caring for our home and pets. Not only did she handle all the basics flawlessly, but she also took extra time to make sure everything was truly taken care of, sending regular updates, checking in thoughtfully, and handling small details we hadn’t even thought to ask for. It was clear she genuinely cared, not just about completing the job, but about doing it well. We came home to happy pets and a house that was just as clean (if not cleaner) than we left it. That level of attention and reliability is hard to find. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Karleen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile.”
About: From growing up alongside my cats for 16 years to caring for my dog for the past 6, I understand how deeply pets rely on us and connect us to one another. Your pets will get the same steady love and comfort mine have always known. As a pet owner, pet care is naturally a part of my daily routine. I am also a recent college graduate with a flexible work schedule. Whether it’s drop‑ins or longer stays, I easily adjust my schedule to give each pet the attention and consistency they’re used to. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home. With 16 years of cat care and 6 years with my dog, I’m used to following routines, reading body language, and giving consistent attention. I stick to each pet’s normal schedule: feeding, litter care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for wherever they are.
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Magalay is so great with our animals. She’s super responsive, and takes the most beautiful photos while she’s house sitting. I never have to worry about how our fur baby is doing while out of town as she keeps us updated and my dog absolutely loves her (and she only loves her family). I can’t thank her enough for all the time and care she gives and she’s even amazing with our 18 inch bearded dragon! Highly recommended and I’m so pleased I found her and she agreed to be our pet sitter!”
“Phillip was so great with our large (90lb) 10 month puppy Muggsy this weekend. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Muggsys needs and routine was met. He gave Muggsy lots of affection, playtime, and active walks throughout his stay, and worked within our training routine to keep him on his best behavior. Our home was cared for and clean when we returned as well! Thank you, Phil!”
“Ann did a wonderful job taking care of my two pups while we were away! One of them is very anxious so I was nervous to leave them. She made me feel comfortable and sent lots of updates!”
“Addy was amazing! She helped me out when I was in a bind and needed someone to house and dog sit for me with short notice. She saved the day!! She took amazing care of my dogs and my home! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future to help care for my dogs!”
“Anna and Terrell house sat our 2 dogs and 1 cat for us for a week. They provided lots of updates and took great care of our pets. Would definitely recommend!”
“We have been so happy with the outstanding care Miles has given to our dogs! They are so well cared for and we can travel without any concerns about our dogs or home! He is a top choice!”
“Alan was amazing with our high needs puppy. He sent multiple pictures a day of our baby playing while we were gone and kept us updated on his eating and potty. Alan was a respectful house guest and left the place clean and tidy. I would absolutely recommend Alan. He’s a dog person.”
“Shelbie took great care of my babies. She was very responsive during her stay and kept me posted on my dogs, even sending pictures. Shelby even took out the trash and made the bed when she left! This was my first time using Rover but I’m glad I had a great experience. Thanks Shelbie for taking care of my babies:)”

What can I say about Walker! I only have good things to say about her. We had her for housesitting our two dogs, one of which has a separation anxiety. She managed them nicely. Very responsible and took care of my house. I did not find anything missing.. definitely trust her and recommend her. She followed all the instructions. I will definitely hire her for future needs..
John is the most amazing pet sitter! While we traveled in Europe, he stayed for 10 days at our home and took excellent care of our dog. Daily communication and pictures provided me with such comfort that I didn't worry at all! His service was above and beyond, taking great care of our home and fur baby. He even went so far as to clean the house and put fresh sheets on the bed...a much appreciated gesture for a weary traveler! I would highly recommend John and Diane!
Brittany did great job giving us updates and pictures of our dog. The house was left how it was when we left. And she even cleaned up the dog poop on the lawn :) We really appreciate it and will be Deff be using Brittany again in the future 100 % recommend. Thanks Brittany!
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.
Kanishka was very kind and loving to my dog during our house sitting service. She was responsive and professional. She sent lots of pictures, followed directions with his care, and spent extra time giving him love and attention while we were away. I highly recommend Kanishka.
Logan was an absolute dream sitter for our dog, Jax! From the moment we first connected, she was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. She asked thoughtful questions ahead of time to make sure she knew all the details about Jax’s routines and preferences — which instantly made us feel confident leaving him in her care. Throughout the four days, she was super communicative, respectful of our home, and went out of her way to make sure Jax had the best time (including some epic walks!). We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. We can’t recommend Logan enough and will absolutely be booking her again!
Shannon stayed in our home for a week and cared for our sweet dog. She went above and beyond by also helping with mail, trash, filling the bird feeder, and refilling our fountain. When our dog got sick, she even brought over her own carpet cleaner and took care of everything. We came home to a happy dog and a tidy house. Thank you for all your help during our trip!”
Tessa is amazing! She sent me constant videos and pics of our pups throughout the weekend and gave us lots of feedback on how they were doing. She arrived on time, and even cleaned up the house before she left. You can tell, she truly loves animals. Will definitely use her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Marvin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marvin on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,892 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marvin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
