“Lori was amazing with our fur babies! She was incredibly responsive, keeping us updated throughout her stay with pictures and messages, which put our minds at ease. Our pups were clearly happy and well cared for under her watch. Lori went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and loved. We’re so grateful for her care and will book her again soon! I highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter to stay at your house.”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Some helpful things to know about me is that I have 5+ years experience in animal care. I've worked at animal shelters and as a manager at a pet daycare/boarding facility, I also have done pet sitting and dog walking on my own in the past. I've recently moved to the area and want to continue working with animals. I am responsible, reliable and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I love to send lots of updates and pictures so you know your pets are well taken care of. I have just recently moved to Alvarado and left my job at Operation Kindness Humane Society because the commute would of been too long. So my schedule is very open as of right now while I look for another job. I have a large yard, however it is not fully fenced. If you'd like for your pup to come to my house I would walk them to go potty. I also have 2 dogs that are dog friendly so if your pup likes to play they will get along great. My dogs are fully vaccinated and up to date all all shots and preventions. For your baby to stay with me I would need to see vaccination records, just to make sure everyone is safe and healthy. If you'd prefer me to pet sit at your home I am more than happy to do that as well and stay consistent with the daily routine you have with your animals. This is usually my preferred way, as it is less stressful for your animals to be in a familiar environment.
“Couldn't ask for a better sitter! Mackenzie treated Groot like a prince. Even though he's 125 lbs it was no problem for her. She was very attentive and extra kind. Im going to look forward to the next time she can dog sit for us!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, fostered for 10 years, and have had 6 personal dogs as an adult (2 across the rainbow bridge and 4 with me now). We have had small to extra large and even had special needs (blind, deaf, seizures). I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for dog walking, house sitting, or drop ins! I prioritize safety and consistency by following your established routines exactly as you outline them. I maintain a calm environment, treat your space with care, and ensure everything is exactly as you left it.
“Sara is awesome! Our dogs are so excited to see her when she arrives. She has house sat for our 2 beagles a couple of times and we would love for her to sit for us in the future. We feel so comfortable knowing she is home taking care of our babies. She sends great updates and takes care of anything needed/asked, including our multitude of supplements we give our dogs.”
“Thank you Casey for your awesomeness. Yogi loved your companionship. We both truly appreciate your kindness, happiness, helpfulness and awesomeness. Yogi loves his new friend Casey. We both look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your excellent attention and friendship. 😊⭐️🤗⭐️🐕”
“Amy was AMAZING! She took great care of our dog and cat (and house) while we were out of the country. Very communicative, sending pictures and fun updates everyday which really helped ease our worries. Very thoughtful, taking our dog for extra walks if she saw the weather was going to be bad the following days. Very caring, making sure they didn't go too long alone without a potty break even on the day we were due back. And very patient, as it takes a little while for our fur babies to warm up to people. We will be keeping fingers crossed she is available for our future needs and would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Lori & Bailey are the absolute best! She was the most amazing sitter to my dog Missy and looked after the house while I was away. She sent pictures and let me know how everything was going regularly, it seemed my dog and her pup Bailey made great friends! Thank you so much Lori for being so wonderful, kind & attentive!”
“Remington is an all star pet sitter! She expertly watched my 130lb mastiff who is a little shy. But in just a short while they were best buds! He waits for her to arrive in the morning and they have a lot of fun. I'm definitely going to contact her to pet sit for me again, she's awesome!”

“Mckenzie was super responsive, flexible, and very kind. She helped us out very last minute for a family matter and took the best care of our babies. She sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. We have one very anxious yorkie and he didn't want her to leave. Would definitely recommend Mckenzie and request her to sit with our babies in the future.”
“He was great with Jaime! She was so excited to have him over with her all week. He helped her calm down and taught her to take it easy. She took to him so well and all the pictures were so cute. We’re going to use him the next time we go out of town.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Marystown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,874 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marystown. 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 Marystown 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 Marystown 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 Marystown 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.
