“Alyssa did a wonderful job of watching my 2 dogs and 2 cats for the 3 weeks I was away. She is very responsible and takes full accountability for the care of the animals and home. I appreciated the multiple pictures and check-ins. You could tell through the pictures the animals really took to her. She also took good care of my house by keeping it clean, plants watered and mail taken in.”
About: I’m on Rover to help you out with any / all your pets needs while you’re away! I work full time as a student analyst in a public school. I don’t dog train, but I am familiar with any techniques that you may need for your pup! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I have experience with all breeds! All mutts and senior pups are welcome. I also have experience administering medication to dogs. All dogs of breeds and age deserve attention and love. I’d love it if you let me love your pets as if they are my own too! Thank you for reading this. I am able to work with the families in terms of what they need. My calendar may not always reflect accurately as my times with my full-time job (human) clients do fluctuate. If it is blocked off it means I am 100% unavailable. I don’t recommend myself in terms of full-on puppy training and 24/7 puppy care due to my schedule but I am versed in the training techniques due to my career. I am available weekends for extra care and staying in your home full time. My pets are well loved and taken care of while I care for others. I will never be able to host in my home, so please consider this! I offer in home care, overnight, daily walks, and check ins. Animals will not be hosted in my home due to a senior dog I have who is on medication. For those reasons, home sitting is only available in terms of long care. I have done walks, trips to stores, parks, yard play, and car trips with fur babies for daily drop ins, walks, or overnight stays!
About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.
“Lisa Marie was so amazing. From start to finish, she was attentive and clearly shows a love for dogs. Our puppy Willow can be a handful, but Lisa Marie took it all in stride and did a great job. From hourly pictures and videos to occasional check ins, we were so happy to have found Lisa Marie .. 10000/10.. Will use again!!!!”
“We’ve used Heather now two times for an in home stay as well as several check ins and couldn’t be happier. The house is always in great shape upon return and the dogs are always happy to see her and stress free for our arrival home. Heather is great about keeping in contact and sends pictures daily. Instructions have always been followed and if anything little needs attention Heather is always willing to help. It brings me peace of mind knowing Heather is in our life whenever we need to travel.”
“Robin was great to work with and took excellent care of our senior dog. She was communicative, punctual, patient, and clearly attentive to his needs. Our dog can be picky about people, but he was very comfortable with her right away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave him, and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Denise was amazing and took great care of our maltipoo during our week long vacation. We were so worried about leaving him for the week and didn’t want to put him in a kennel. Denise exceeded all our expectations and we are so happy to have found her. I finally feel like we can go away without the stress of leaving him!”

About: I have such a big heart for animals and a connection to them with a passion for taking care of any type of animal! I grew up taking in rescues with my family at home. We have rescued a senior yorkie, four kittens, and a deaf kitty. I currently have one 4 year old maltipoo at home and one goldfish! In the past we had fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and lizards at home. Throughout the years I love participating in anything involving innocent fur babies. For two years I pet sit my sisters french bulldog with GI issues and my brothers cat. At the same time I was in a P.A.W.S (protecting animals without stability) club in high school. I currently volunteer at two animal shelters since 2022. After high school I pursued an associates degree in Biology while participating in a veterinary assistant program. I graduated the program and continued on to getting my first full time job at a veterinary hospital as an approved veterinary assistant! Therefore, I have knowledge on animal anatomy, sickness and care procedures. I plan to complete my Biology degree while working full time and helping to take care of your fur babies 💗 I am currently in school pursuing a science degree while working part time at a hospital. I pet sit, house sit and dog walk. I am available weekdays and weekends for any help you need with your fur babies. I am very flexible and work around school to continue my passion of animal care. I will make sure to socialize and spend quality time your pets. I will take them on energetic walks and make sure they are fed and comfortable!

I am fully willing to work with anyone to help take care of their pets. I am always cautious with other peoples animals and their homes.

“Ana was an awesome sitter! She cared for our kitten, Marvel, for several days while we were out of town. Ana was kind, communicative, flexible, and SUPER SWEET with Marvel. She happily worked with us when we unexpectedly needed to extend our trip an extra day. She was a wonderful first experience utilizing Rover. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future care. Ana, thank you so much for the peace of mind and sweet love you offered our baby!”
“We’ve had some disappointing house sitters in the past but these ladies were amazing. Our pups were happy and exercised. Great communication throughout. House was clean. Everything was incredible. Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Emily was a wonderful dog sitter! My rescue dog has a lot of anxiety and Emily was terrific with her from the beginning. In addition, I had to extend my trip twice and Emily was very helpful and worked with me. I highly recommend her!”
“It’s hard to put into words how grateful we are to have found Kate. Our Cockalier, Guinness, is a total love sponge. He’s happiest when he’s close to people and getting plenty of affection. After each of his previous boarding stays, he’d come home with an upset stomach that lasted a week or two. I always worried about how stressed he might be while we were away. About a week before our vacation, I found Kate on Rover and felt at ease with her right away. I also loved that she had a dog of her own, Rosie, and hoped Guinness would have a friend to play with and keep him company. Throughout our trip, Kate sent us photos and videos of their adventures together. We got to see Guinness strolling the boardwalk, exploring nature, and doing his absolute favorite thing: chasing water from the hose. Seeing him so happy and relaxed meant the world to us. For the first time, I could truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about how he was doing. I’ve always thought of dogs as angels on earth, and Kate treated our little boy with all the love and tenderness we could have hoped for. She’s a wonderful sitter and a genuinely kind person. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to care for your dog like family, I can’t recommend Kate highly enough. Thank you, Kate and Rosie, for making Guinness feel right at home.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Marlboro is $98 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $59 and $143 per night.

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 Marlboro 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 Marlboro 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 Marlboro 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.

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.
