“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!”
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.
“Andri did an excellent job watching my fur baby. She kept me informed of everything and communicated effectively. She knows her stuff when it comes to fur babies. Thank you Andri!”
“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!”
“I can't recommend Karyna enough! She recently stayed with my dog, Rosie, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. From our first interaction, Karyna was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to Rosie’s needs and personality. Rosie can be a bit shy at first, but Karyna took the time to make her feel comfortable, and it was clear from all the updates that Rosie quickly felt at home with her. Karyna sent plenty of photos and messages, so I always knew Rosie was happy, healthy, and having a great time. She went above and beyond to keep Rosie’s routine consistent and even spent extra time with her playing her favorite games and giving her belly rubs, which Rosie absolutely loved.”
“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: I've owned & taken care of different dogs over the past 20+ years; from 5 weeks to elderly. I have experience in potty training, administering medicine, after surgery care, to end of life care. I'm known to have a love for dogs. My family, friends & neighbors trust me to look in on and/or care for their pets in my home when they go out of town. My main goal is to provide a loving, safe & interactive experience for the dog while in my care as well as to reassure the pet parent through regular updates including pictures & videos. My home is very dog friendly. It includes a big backyard, a comfy dog bed, dog friendly furniture, proper water/food bowls & a toy chest full of dog toys. I am currently working from home. Whether your dog/family member enjoys walks, backyard play or napping, I have plenty of time to give them my unlimited attention. I'm available for boarding during the week as well as weekends. My home is very dog friendly and safe. I have a large fenced in backyard if your dog likes outside time to play or enjoy the weather. Inside I have a dog bed, dog friendly furniture and a lot of doggy toys. No other animals are in the home.
“Alan was wonderful with the dogs and provided us lots of updates. Our one pup is extremely fearful around new people but Alan did so good just letting her come to him on her own time. This was the first time in years we used a sitter that wasn’t a family member but it was so smooth and we were able to enjoy our time away without much stress about our pups left behind.”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing with Sammy! She took such great care of her, making sure she was walked, fed on time, and comfortable the whole time I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and all the sweet pictures she sent, which gave me peace of mind. Brittany is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly has a lot of love for animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for many different types of dogs over the years—large and small, energetic and calm, young pups and senior companions. Growing up with dogs taught me to naturally understand canine behavior and body language, which helps me respond to their needs quickly and appropriately. Whether it’s a wagging tail or subtle signs of stress, I’m tuned in to what your dog is trying to say. In addition to basic care and companionship, I’m experienced in administering oral medications, including pills and chewables, with patience and care. Your pet’s health and comfort are always my top priority. Whether your dog needs a playmate, a calming presence, or just someone who understands them, I’m here to help them feel safe and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I customize the visits to ensure their routine is kept. My visits are customized to you and your pet's preferences. I will walk with them on leash. I can easily crate them if it is necessary.
“We know when we leave our pups with John they will be happy, safe and well cared for. We have a dog with Addisons and she is nervous (especially with men) and she loves him. We are always at ease with John watching our dogs!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! Finding someone you truly trust with your pet can be stressful, but she made the entire experience completely worry-free. She treated our dog with so much love, patience, and genuine care from the moment she met him. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and appreciated the thoughtful updates while we were away. She watered our plants and left our home neat and tidy the way we left it. I would give more than five stars if I could! We would recommend her in a heartbeat and can't wait to book with her again!”
About: I have had pets in my home for 60+ years. A one-time breeder of German Shepherds and I have cared for dogs, cats and birds. My husband and I are largely retired and can devote as much time as required to walking, grooming and caring for pets as part of house sitting. We are not in a position to care for pets in our home at this time. We care for our clients pets in their homes.
“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!”

Miles stayed at our house for 10 days while we were traveling and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. We have a pity/lab mix that can be nervous around men but Miles has a calm temperament and our dog took to him immediately. He was great with our cat and fish too and he even watered all my plants. He provided daily updates and photos and gave my fur babies plenty of love and attention .He also cleaned up and left our home in wonderful shape. Highly recommend!!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marvin on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,871 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.
