“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.
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: 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.
“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!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 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
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!
“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!”
“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.”
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.

“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!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Marco Island is $65
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.
