“Cathy and Mike are amazing 5 star ⭐️ caretakers all the way! Our cat Fletcher has Hypertrophic myocardiopathy and requires pills twice a day day, they took such loving care of our cat Fletcher. We also have a rambunctious 7 month puppy Toby, they sent us pictures and communicated all day long, it was a relief to have them move in and take over for us. We were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries. They also took such good care of our home, it was actually cleaner when we got back home! I have over 40 years of veterinary medicine experience, Cathy and Mike are exceptional care takers and I highly recommend them!”
About: The well-being and happiness of animals are my priority, as it is something I truly enjoy. I am committed to providing responsible and attentive care, adapting to the needs of each pet. Whether during walks, playtime, or moments of companionship, I offer a safe, calm environment full of dedication. 🐾💙I have always been surrounded by pets in my family for a long time. Currently, I don’t have any pets because I plan to travel a lot next year, but in my heart, I still feel the need to care for or be accompanied by a little furry friend. 🐾💛 If there are any needs for your pet, don't hesitate to let me know, I am open to any requests all to ensure a happy and safe stay... I currently have a part-time job that varies a lot from week to week, so sometimes I have quite a few free days when I’m at home with my computer. I usually adapt well to each client’s needs, so the daily routine whether it’s just walks, daytime pet sitting, or in-home care varies depending on each owner’s requests. 🐾
About: I would be a great candidate to watch your dog because I am a responsible,fun, loving girl, who loves all animals. I have had experience with dogs and cats that have different personalities as well as different medical conditions. I have gained this experience from pet sitting for friends and families pets as well as volunteering at animal shelters. I am easy to get ahold of, flexible, and known for going above and beyond expectations. I work from home and make my own schedule so I am able to adapt to the pets needs. All I ask is for 24 hour notice so I can adjust my schedule. I do not board animals in my home. this is for the safety of the clients animal and my own animals, but I have happy to do home visits at the clients.
“Highly recommend Athena as your sitter! She is kind and thoughtful. Very responsible. She responded to my messages almost immediately every time I reached out and that was so important to me. My house was cleaner when I got home then before I left, lol… I will absolutely use her services again!!”
About: I’ve grown up in a house full of dogs and cats my entire life. I’m patient and loving and if your dog or cat needs a comforting place to stay, I’m your girl. I allow pets on furniture and to cuddle in bed. I have two Cavalier King Charles who are friendly and playful to keep them company. Accidents happen and if they do I will handle it with a gentle approach if your dog is a puppy or a senior. I am not working during the summer so my days consist mostly of cuddling in the couch with my pets, home workouts and walks with my dogs. I walk my dogs on leashes on the sidewalk and occasionally take them to the dog park. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am careful when I open my doors and ensure that each dog is leashed before opening the door to go outside for a walk.
About: As the proud owner of a beloved Chihuahua for 17 years, I understand that pets are truly family and deserve patient, loving care. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and special needs, including seniors, puppies, and pets requiring extra attention. I have a calm, gentle approach that helps anxious animals feel safe and comfortable, and I’m confident administering medications and providing attentive care for pets with medical needs. I currently serve as the Treasurer of my HOA, where I successfully advocated for and helped establish policies allowing emotional support animals in our community. I treat every pet with the same compassion, respect, and care I would want for my own. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle because I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to dedicate my full attention to your pets and home. I’m currently between professional opportunities, which allows me the time and availability to provide consistent companionship, walks, playtime, medication administration, and attentive care throughout the day. I truly enjoy being present with animals and love creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while their owners are away. Your pet’s routine, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for your dog in your home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love. I’m comfortable with crate training, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, senior care, special needs, and administering medications when needed. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and comfort levels so I can provide personalized care while you’re away. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, keeping your pet safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Jordan is a great dog sitter and has helped us on several occasions! She is very responsive and responsible, which helps us know that Ellie is in great hands. Ellie is a 2.5 year old golden retriever and full of energy and very headstrong, but Jordan does a great job of controlling her on walks and helping get out all of her energy. I highly recommend her and know that you won't be disappointed!”
“We have an almost 11 year old boxer who loves his family and his routine. Thanks to David we were actually able to take a vacation. David sent frequent updates and pictures of George and kept us informed how he was doing. When we got home George was calm and happy which is a big indicator for us that all went well. David came a few days before he was going to come stay to take George for a walk so George would be familiar with him, a really thoughtful and great idea. He stayed late on the last day to make sure that George had everything he needed since our flight wasn’t getting in till close to midnight David went above and beyond and we’re so excited that we found him. I would totally recommend him to anybody .”
About: I grew up with dogs and have loved caring for them ever since! Neighbors and friends have often relied on me for dog sitting and knowing I’m dependable and gentle with every pup. I have experience giving medications, handling tiny dogs and large, energetic ones, and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. I am currently working part-time at a dermatology office. My schedule is very flexible, so whether that be stopping by after work hours or being needed for a weekend, I can make things work! While I don’t currently have pets of my own, that allows me to give your dog my full attention and care. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe by following their normal routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on walks they enjoy, or giving extra cuddle time. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved and at home, wherever they are.
About: I was born and raised in South Africa. Then lived a long time years in England. I've always had pets. In SA we had a farm, and was on the farm every weekend, so I have experience with pets and farm animals. My own doggy died February and I'd love to love someone else's pets and get my pet fix lol. I'm a mature woman that had a professional business for years, so I am totally trustworthy. I can stay in your house, look after your pets, get the post, make sure the pool cleaner arrives, dust and keep everything in good order whilst you are away. I do this as a full time career, so I fit in with you and your pets. My girls have flown the nest and I live alone, so Im totally flexible I cannot board your pet, but I can stay with them at your house, or pop in regularly to see them. Just tell me what works for you
“Gabriela loved on our two cats with daily visits and did a fantastic job. She sent photos, was prompt and very helpful. We are grateful to have found her and will definitely be having her care for our kitties again.”
“Cara was wonderful from the first meet and greet and throughout her stay. She accommodated changes due to the passing of our one dog and comforting Luna during her transition to being a single dog. Luna had tummy issues and Cara stayed with her and gave her medication. I would absolutely use Cara again.”
About: I treat every pet like family, providing personalized care, plenty of playtime, and attention to their unique needs. With years of experience and a true passion for animals, I go beyond basic pet sitting ensuring your furry friend feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I’m currently working full time but I always make time to help my furry friends who need love and care while their family is away. In my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow their routine closely whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior, health, and happiness, always providing plenty of affection and enrichment. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own space!
“Dannie was great with my 2 12 yrs old dogs. She kept me updated with pics and text messages and even let them sleep with her! (Means they were very comfortable with her). Came back to happy pups and a clean house. I will definitely be calling her for my next trip.”
“The main thing is my sadness that she is going back to school in the fall. Because no one else will be able to match her attentiveness, her dependable and cheerful nature. I know she's on to big things, but if pet sitting was a lifetime career, she would be the CEO. Thank you Meghan!”
About: I have owned 5 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 40 years and provide service in Naples, FL, Marco Island and Bonita Springs. I am available most days in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves. I would prefer to come to your home, only because my home is not fenced in, but could keep the dog on a leash at all times outside
About: Most of my pet sitting experience has been taking care of friends pets when they travel. I've cared for pets for up to 2 months while a friend was away. I have more experience with cats but love caring for dogs as well! I work Monday to Wednesday, and have busy Saturdays, so I am available primarily Thurdays, Fridays and Sundays. But I can make time on Tuesday/Wednesday/Saturday afternoons/ evenings as needed. When I pet sit, I am very vigilant. I keep the pet with in eye sight as much as possible. Before going to bed, I check to make sure they are settled for the night and I check on them first thing in the morning. I will usually keep reminders on my phone for feeding times, walks, and medication if needed.
About: Using my zeal for animals to help raise funds for my “Set Apart” ministry school! I look forward to making your furry pet into my companion! I’m currently working part-time! I’m free on Sundays after 3pm, Mondays after 5:30pm, Wednesdays before 6:30pm, and Weekends (including Thursdays) after 4:30pm! But let me know before hand, and I’ll make it happen! I don’t have a home yet, so I currently offer client’s home services! It’s important that I know where pet non-negotiables are. I also make it personal to provide pet owners with occasional check-ups to ensure them of their fur baby’s satisfaction!
“Ava has such a beautiful kind spirit. Her care and compassion for animals is immediately evident and much appreciated. I enjoyed the communication while Ava stayed with my Elvis and Roo. Dependable and hardworking! Will definitely book with Ava again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marco
WOW! That pretty much sums up our experience with Mara M. I had a meet and greet with Mara and Heart (our dog). It couldn't have gone any better. We felt so comfortable leaving our little girl (6.5 months) with such a wonderful person and dog mom. The drop off went very well. Heart was happy to be with Mara and her dogs. When we went to pick her up, it was obvious she had been very well taken care of and she was very happy. Mara (and her husband) went above and beyond in taking care of our baby, and we are confident that we have a great place for our dog to stay when we plan future trips. Every aspect of our experience with Mara was extremely positive.
This was our first time using Rover and Mara set the bar very high! Moxie loved her and you can tell that Mara loved her and dogs. She sent photos, took her for walks,and made sure Moxie was comfortable, especially since we were on vacation and Moxie was in unusual surroundings. Don't hesitate using Mara for your pet sitting needs. She is a wonderful person.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 466 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marco. 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 Marco 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 Marco 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 Marco 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marco. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
