“I can't recommend Christine enough—she's an absolute dream of a pet sitter! From the moment we met for the initial greet, my two dogs were wagging their tails like crazy, and I knew they’d be in great hands. During my trip, Christine sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos of my dogs playing and enjoying her company. Christine’s communication was top-notch—quick responses to my random check-ins. If you're looking for someone who treats your fur baby like their own, book Christine now. I’ll definitely be repeat client!”
“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 .”

“Erick was amazing! This was the first time we had ever used this service and we were very happy with the result! He communicated everyday about our sweet pet and sent pictures. We highly recommend Erick!!”

“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.”
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have plenty of hands on experience caring for them. My family has 3 dogs and a couple of cats, and I’ve also dog sat and cat sat for other families. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible, as most of my classes are online and I only work a part time job. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I make sure to follow their routines, pay close attention to their needs, and provide a calm and loving environment. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel happy and comfortable while they are in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marco Island
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Marco Island is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $98 per night. 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 440 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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
