About: For years I have taken care of dogs big and small. I’ve been called on my neighbors, friends, and family to watch their animals while they are away. In the past I have come over for the routine feed and bathroom and kept company, boarded at my home, or stayed at their home if the dog is more comfortable in that environment I am currently a student, so you can often find me home studying. Studying can get boring pretty quickly, so I would love the company and your fur baby would be spoiled with love and attention I live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard and live within a short walking distance to a scenic walking path
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day.

“Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)”

About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover for over 20 years, and caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their dogs, whether that means daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship and lots of love. I'm an avid walker and typically walk about 3 miles every day, so I'd love nothing more than to have a furry friend join me! I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I'm committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, patience, affection, and care.

I am self employed with a flexible schedule and work mostly evenings and weekends. So, during the week, I have lots of time to meet with your furry family members. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I'll always follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I will treat both with the same care and respect I would my own, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“I would seriously leave my newborn child with Patti! She is truly too good to be true!! We adore her, especially my cat! Whenever we are away, we know Snowflake is in great hands!!! Thank you (again and again) Patti for being so trustworthy, dependable, and especially kind!”
About: I’ve had my own dog since I’m 7, he’s 12 now and I’ve cared for him ever since he was a puppy. We’ve grown up together, and he has taught me how to love all animals unconditionally. All pets deserve a safe space where they feel loved, at their own pace. I’ve done pet sitting for friends and neighbors over the past few years as well. I have a very flexible schedule right now, and am able to move around plans and obligations for potential clients. I am happy to see your pets as much as needed, and as long as you would like. In your home, I would appreciate specific instructions on how your dog operates on a day to day basis: Do they like to eat at specific times? What’s their favorite way to play? Is there anything specific I can do to make them more comfortable? Anything you could think of that would be helpful for me to know, no matter how strange it could be (some pets have some interesting demands and I completely understand that)
“Jamie did a great job taking care of my cats over the holidays! She was communicative each day and followed all instructions given regarding their care very well! It was a relief to come home after being away to find them (and the house!) in great condition!”
“Maeghan was so wonderful with our pups Checkers and Ava! She arrived on time and provided top notch care during her visit. She communicated all aspects of the visit to us and kindly provided photos. Maeghan is professional and we felt very safe with our dogs in her care. Highly recommended!”
“Brittany started doing drop in visits for me today. She was fantastic. My dogs are very barky but she seemed to handle it very well and got them very calm to go out and do their business. Everything was perfect. Thank you !”

My love and dedication to animals is one of the reasons I pursued this opportunity. I have had numerous experiences working with a variety of animals in different environments which makes me a great candidate to be entrusted with your pet!

I’m available most weekdays and weekends throughout the summer after June 25th. While working 2-3 days per week, I maintain a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits. Beginning September 1st, I’ll be commuting to college classes 3–4 days per week, but I’ll continue offering pet care services with availability before and after classes, as well as on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether caring for pets in your home or outside, I help to provide a clean, secure, and loving environment while ensuring they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I also send regular updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple sizes for friends and family for the past 15 years, and have a nice dog of my own for almost as long. I’m a high school teacher who is not working this summer. I’m looking to meet some awesome dogs in between taking my kids to camp, and snuggling with my own doggy. I will be diligent in following whatever rules you lay out for your pet. I know how precious your pet is, and will care for it like my own. Dogs will only go outside while on a leash, and I will provide pictures as well as a detailed report of our activities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marlboro
Christina was very friendly and had great communication with me throughout the week. Although my kitty is a VERY shy boy, she tried her best to give him attention and encourage him with toys and treats. She even stayed longer on some days! Very happy with my experience and I would rebook Christina again in the future!! :)

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Marlboro stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
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.
