“Excellent job pet sitting for Luna and Bodie. Both were happy and healthy when I returned. Brittany is a great communicator, providing frequent updates. I will definitely call on her again.”
“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!”
“First time using Rover and Edgar and his wife were AMAZING! I was hesitant to leave our 7 month old puppy with a stranger but from the moment I inquired, Edgar made me feel extremely comfortable. If you want someone who is kind, responsible, and love animals, Edgar is your guy!”
“Laura has been incredibly dependable and trustworthy while caring for our girls. Today, one of them woke up not feeling well, and Laura immediately contacted me without hesitation. Because of her quick action, I was able to arrange a same-day vet visit, and she took care of getting her there and safely back home. It was truly a blessing to have someone so attentive and responsible with our girls. Knowing they were in good hands gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for her reliability and care.”
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.
“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!”
“Christy was great to work with! She was an excellent communicator, sent frequent pictures and updates, and took great care of Hank. Would definitely use Christy again and highly recommend.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Meghan helped out great. She stayed overnight & watched my 2 dogs for the weekend and sent me tons of photos, answered quick anytime I reached out, picked up after herself & kept me up to date! 10/10!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of having the right person to care for your animals. With me they will be in good hands! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and spend quality time with pets without feeling rushed. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pets who are comfortable around other animals. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
“I feel I have discovered a hidden gem! Nia is wonderful. We did a meet and greet before Jaxon’s stay and my dog felt at home the moment he walked in the door. Nia and her husband are kind and friendly. I was hesitant at first not knowing how Jaxon would do with her dog, but Kevin must have been a generous host too - even let Jaxon borrow his bed 😉. Communication was great and I received many pics of Jaxon enjoying himself. Will definitely use again!”

She was also super flexible when our flight was cancelled last minute and she had to stay an extra night with Monty. Would definitely recommender her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marvin
John and Diane were wonderful with Finn! John was punctual, kind, and very conscientious, and it was clear how attentive they were to Finn’s needs. When they sensed he was missing me, they thoughtfully offered to take him to their home to meet another dog and help lift his spirits, which I truly appreciated. Communication was excellent, with frequent updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely use their services again and highly recommend them!
Jeadyce was awesome. She treated Henry like he was her own pup, kept me in the loop with pictures, videos and updates of their day and overall is super easy to communicate with and willing to accommodate. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Marvin is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. 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. 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 2,792 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
