“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!”
“Athena did a wonderful job watching our cat. Our home was spotless, she gave regular updates, and kept everything running smoothly. She even went above and beyond taking care of our chickens. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”
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.
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've taken care of all types of dogs throughout my life, personally owning a large Newfoundland and an Australian Cattle dog, so I have experience dealing with extremely high and low energy breeds. Im a life long animal lover who is currently pursuing my undergraduate in Animal Sciences with a focus on pre veterinarian medicine. In the past Ive dealt more with larger zoo animals like wolves and lynx's but Im always a sucker for some cute dogs. Im currently working mid week, Im available for boarding at any time however during M,T,Th,F bathroom breaks will be limited to 4-8 hours. During weekends and Wednesdays Ill be available to give your furry friends all the attention they need throughout the day. I live in a condo with no designated yard however there is an unfenced yard available for use and dogs will be taken on frequent walks, at least 2 times a day but this varies on your dogs needs. Im open to all dog sitting styles so if you like your dog crated at night or left to roam around just let me know. If your dog has specific preferences or needs please just specify before dropping them off.
“Alex watched our Rat Terrier Jack who can be a little high maintenance at times. Alex was excellent and Jack loved her. We will definitely be using Alex again. I highly recommend her.”
“This is our second time having Gabriela house sit for Finn. Once again she did an excellent job taking care of him (including giving daily medications) and left our home clean and tidy. We will use her 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.
“Things went fine other than I’d like a text when insulin was given to make sure it stayed on schedule. Very conscientious about making sure my travel plans stayed on time and actually changed plans by 2 days as my outgoing flight was canceled.”
About: Hi! I’m Joana, a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Naples, FL. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including overnight and vacation care for friends and neighbors’ pets. I always make it a priority to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide attentive care by making sure pets are fed on schedule, exercised, given plenty of attention, and treated like family. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and enjoy building trust with animals of all personalities. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in a loving and dependable environment. My schedule may vary due to my part-time job, but I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate pet owners’ needs. If I’m working a morning shift, I’m typically available in the mornings until 10 AM. On days I’m not working, I usually have full morning availability. If I’m not scheduled for a morning shift, I’m generally available until 1 PM in the afternoon, and on my days off I’m available throughout the entire day. Feel free to reach out to ask about my availability for the week — I’ll always do my best to help! :) I have a fenced yard and two babies. My dog is super friendly and love meeting new animals, your pet will never feel lonely with my pets :)
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!
“Cara is awesome! She did an overnight with my dog, effectively communicated and sent pictures throughout the stay. I felt my dog was in very good hands. Highly recommend her!”
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: I’ve grown up with dogs and a cat, I have a dog of my own a little old lady named fefe. I also have worked at a doggy daycare, all sizes and breeds so I’m confident I can provide great care for your pets. Im working at a small donut shop I don’t work long hours so I have time to walk your pets, feed, and do drop ins to check up on them and if needed overnight stays as well. I also have a dog of my own and taking care of her is a part of my daily routine. I live in a home so I have my own room , spacious living room and a dog of my own that can be kept separate while I watch over yours.
“Erin is the most amazing soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had a different rover sitter scheduled weeks in advance that was supposed to stay in my house with my 2 frenchies while I went back to MD to visit with family. The night before my flight I received a message from the sitter saying he could not make it & the booking was cancelled, needless to say I was panicking trying to find someone last minute. It turns out that was the biggest blessing because Erin saved my entire trip! She is so wonderful! She was willing to stop by my house an hour after contacting her so I could show her where everything was and so she could meet Loki and Diesel. She treated my frenchies as if they were her own! She sent me updates, videos and pictures multiple times a day! I always worry about someone watching my dogs because I have one frenchie who is jealous and shows aggression towards my other frenchie. That did not deter Erin, she accepted the challenge and navigated everything with patience and grace! I feel so lucky that the initial rover sitter canceled less than 12 hours before my scheduled flight because it lead me to Erin!”
“Mollie was fantastic with our Jack Russell Rocco. We reached out and she quickly replied, set up a time to talk before and she was super friendly and accommodating. It was clear she knew the area well and loved dogs! She has some of her own and she is clearly a dog person- she was on time day of and Rocco immediately took to her. She sent pics and a video while we were out. We felt really comfortable with her and knowing Rocco with someone he liked. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend Mollie!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over 3 years. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special routines or medications. I’m patient, attentive, and truly treat every pet like family. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent, dedicated attention. I’m organized and reliable, so I’m able to provide dependable care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions carefully. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I’m respectful of your home and always provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
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
“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.”
“Amber was fantastic! We knew she was the perfect fit for our sweet boy during the initial meeting, as she immediately was speaking with him and showing all the love. We very much liked that she stayed in our home while we were away, as he is accustomed to having someone working from home about 50% of the month. It gave us a lot of relief knowing that he had genuine caring company while we were away, especially during the start of the storm season. She also sent us pictures of our handsome boy so we were able to still see his squishy face while we were in Australia. We will definitely be booking with Amber again in the future!!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Marco is $65
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Marco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 462 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:
- 90% 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.
