“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!”
“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!!”
“Charles took great care of my dog! My dog is a lot to handle but Charles was more than capable. He came by for a meet & greet to get familiar with him and I definitely felt comfortable enough to leave to a multiple day festival while he watched my dog. Charles was also very respectful of my apartment and my neighbors who like to hang out with my dog on his walks only had positive things to say. Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Riley did a great job communicating with me during the stay. She sent me pictures everyday. She did a great job taking care of my two large dogs and we’re looking forward to future sitting.”

“Jillyn is an incredible dog sitter!! She took great care of not only my pup but also my home. I didn't worry about a thing while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend Jillyn and she will be the first person I'd reach out to for my future dog sitting needs!”

“Amber was great to work with while she stayed in our home with our three dogs. She loved on them all weekend and we could tell the dogs were happy and much more comfortable at home than at a kennel.”
“Victoria is terrific. She spent 7 days with my dog and cat as an in house sitter. Communication while I was away was just right - I especially enjoyed the photos and videos. All in order with the house when I arrived home - maybe even better than I left it! Most important, my pets were happy and contented.”
“Samuel is a fantastic dog sitter! He texted me every day with photos and updates on how my pup was doing. He is very attentive and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable while you are away. Highly recommend!!”
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 :)
“Dannie was amazing with our 13 year old dog Sienna! She followed all the directions for taking care of her and was great about sending us updates and pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend her especially if you are nervous about leaving your dog when you travel. She put our mind at ease and helped us enjoy our trip. We will definitely be hiring her again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”
“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!”
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: Hi! I'm Madison, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless playtime, or simply wants someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll treat them like they're my own. I share life with my dachshund, Frank, who has taught me just how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your furry family members. As a pet owner myself, I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. For four years, I volunteered at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida's Wildlife Hospital, where I helped care for injured and orphaned wildlife. That experience taught me how to stay calm under pressure, recognize animal behaviors, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I've also volunteered on and off with the local Humane Society, further strengthening my experience working with animals from many different backgrounds and temperaments. In addition to my animal experience, I'm the owner of Naples Babysitting Company, where I have spent the past several years building a business centered around trust, reliability, communication, and exceptional care. Caring for children has reinforced the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, patience, and creating a safe, nurturing environment—qualities that translate naturally into caring for pets. My clients count on me to be dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I bring that same level of professionalism to every pet I care for. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, medication administration, or simply giving your pet extra love and attention while you're away, I'm committed to making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members—including plenty of belly rubs for the dogs and head scratches for the cats! I run my own business from home or my phone so my schedule is extremely flexible to meet your family and furry friends needs anytime or anywhere! I have a fenced in yard at the end of a quite street that I share with my husband, friendly dachshund Frank and our salt water fish friends! In your home, it is your rules and I would be more than happy to abide by any requests.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marco Island
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 Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Marco Island on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 435 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marco Island. 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 Island 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 Island 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 Island 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 Island. 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.
