About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals, especially dogs! I previously worked professionally as a dog handler and walker at Biscuits & Bath in New York City, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and individual needs. Through this experience, I learned how important patience, attentiveness, and consistency are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, keeping them engaged and active, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone around to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets! I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care is something I look forward to incorporating into my daily routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll always do my best to work around their usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedules. I’m also happy to discuss specific scheduling needs to find an arrangement that works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! My professional experience working with dogs has taught me how important it is to be attentive, patient, and aware of each animal’s behavior and individual needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure to respect their environment and maintain the routines they’re most comfortable with. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special care requirements. I’m especially mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, using appropriate leashes and equipment, and ensuring pets are always supervised when necessary. I also understand that some animals may be nervous around new people, so I take a gentle approach and allow them to become comfortable at their own pace. I believe communication is an important part of building trust, and I’m always happy to send pictures and regular updates throughout each visit. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for!
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our two dogs while we were away. She was very thoughtful, attentive, and kept us updated throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’re so grateful and would definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Bria is our angel! She made us so comfortable leaving our fur babies with her - she came to our home to meet them before we left, was so accommodating of the changes in our schedule, and our girls were SO happy and well taken care of when we were gone (it was clear when we got home). Thank you, Bria! ❤️”
“Laura was wonderful to work with! She checked in on our cat while we traveled and it gave us such peace of mind. She was easy to communicate with and provided lots of pictures with each visit. We will definitely use Laura again!”
About: As a teen I loved to help walk neighborhood dogs before working in childcare 9+ years. I say pet care isn’t far from caring for babies. I am just whom you are looking for to care for your fur family members’ I’m Nora and I’m job hunting for remote work at the moment, so lots of time for pet care and walks. My full-time Rover care schedule is Sun-Fri and any boarding options are open after August 10th 2024. Thank you for reading through my profile! I have a semi attached home with an unfenced back yard and a safe shady neighborhood for strolling around in. A crate is needed for overnight boarding.
“Katherine was great. Our Benny is blind and Karherine took amazing care of him, was extremely patient and made him feel very comfortable. We were very happy with her services and plan to use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for approximately 8 years, beginning in middle school when I started helping my mom care for pets in our community. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, or overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away from home. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am able to accommodate pet care visits throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting, and I do my best to adjust my schedule with advance notice when needed. I am reliable, consistent, and always communicate clearly about my availability so pet parents know what to expect. environment in every visit. I always follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owner is away. I pay close attention to detail, keep doors and entry points secure, and treat every home with respect. I also make sure pets are supervised during visits and receive patient, attentive care based on their individual needs and personality. My goal is to create a safe and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
“Grace & Mara were wonderful sitters! They took care of our three fur-babies while we were on family vacation. They had excellent communication the entire time and gave extra attention to our dog who deals with separation anxiety. We highly recommend them for your future pet care services!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique needs, for example, helping energetic dogs burn off energy through long walks/playing in the backyard and attentive care for senior dogs who might need a little more assistance! I’m comfortable administering oral medications, working with puppies on basic manners, and walking dogs that pull on leash. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care! As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets! Since I am currently not working another job, I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I can accommodate most schedules, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. My goal is to provide reliable care and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I do have a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and exercise. I also have dogs of my own of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, which has given me a lot of experience caring for many different personalities and needs. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate, monitor all interactions, and can separate pets if needed to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your pet feels happy and safe while in my care!
“Zach took wonderful care of our Boston terriers last Saturday! We’re so grateful for the care and attention he gave them. It means a lot to have someone we can trust with our pups. We’d happily book with Zach again and highly recommend him!”

About: I have a two year old and a 9 month old dog, both girls. I also foster dogs, have been for close to a year now. I love dogs and would love to watch over your fur baby while you are away and rest assured they will be babied just the same as my own. Please note that I work 9-5 during the week, and come home for about 30-40 minutes for lunch around noon. Typically I am only gone in 3-4 hour stretches. Your dog will not be left alone for longer than a 5-6 hr stretch at the MOST, which is typically ok for an adult dog but I really try to avoid that at all costs for both my babies and yours. I am home in the evenings Mon-Fri, work from home on Friday, and home most of the weekend. I do work a dinner serving shift at the restaurant on Saturdays but hoping to stop that soon as dog sitting picks up. Your dog will either be crated or separated into their own room while I am away to keep everyone safe, we can discuss what works best for your dog. I have crates for all dog sizes. Must be (mostly) potty trained and must be spayed/neutered. I work 9-5 during the week, and come home for about 30-40 minutes for lunch around noon. Typically I am only gone in 3-4 hour stretches.

All dogs get at least a 30 minute walk per day and of course lots of play time with me and/or my dogs. Will happily follow whatever instructions you provide for your pet. Their comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel secure, loved, and cared for in my home. Walking/drop in: will make sure to follow your instructions. Lots of play and love.
About: Hi! I have had pets my entire adult life. I have volunteered for over 11 years with three different dog rescues and have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, health conditions/medications, separation anxiety etc. I love all breeds, sizes and ages. Let us give your dog a vacation so you can have a worry free trip! I work part time from home so I have a very flexible schedule. My husband also works from home so our fur babies have someone home as well. There is almost always an adult home. We let the dogs out into our fenced yard every 1-2 hours and always with supervision. I have a fenced in yard, two pugs and a chihuahua mix. They are all very friendly and love other dogs. Dog are welcome on our furniture and are allowed anywhere in our home. We only crate if requested. While your dogs are here we will treat them as our own.
“Lauren was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and we especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Lauren did a fantastic job with walking, feeding, and making sure our dog always had fresh water, but most importantly, she truly showed our baby so much love and attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“India is always quick to respond. Haven’t needed her for awhile and she came in and greeted Rex without hesitation. Rex is very intimidating until he knows you. It was like there was no time in between visits. I love how she leaves music on the tv for him. I always forget to do that. Always great and reliable.”
“Alina is an amazing sitter, as always! This is the first time I’ve trusted someone else with my cats, and she was the best choice. She gave all their medications on time, fed them, played with them, and brushed everyone. My cats absolutely adore her. I think they might even like living with her more than with me 😂 but for now we’ll stick to visits. Thank you for being so caring and reliable. I’ll definitely book with you again and again! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marvin
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!
I can’t say enough good things about Dominique! She watched my 2 cats for 6 days, which is the longest they have been alone and she kept me updated on them with photos and videos. She also was willing to do a meet and greet the weekend before so she could meet the cats and know where all their supplies are. If you want a friendly and communicative sitter who will treat your fur babies like they were their own, book with Dominique!
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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Marvin is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 5,095 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marvin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marvin. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
