“Abbey was a dream to work with!! Would ten out of ten recommend her and absolutely work with her again :). Our cat Cyrus loved her immediately and she left us detailed updates and photos. She’s super nice, loved Cyrus so much, very prompt and awesome. Thanks again Abbey!!”
“Timothy was a great sitter for our elderly cat. He was patient, kind and easily administered medication for our fur guy. We absolutely will hire Timothy again when we’re out of town and know our cat Stoopy would be in good hands.”
About: I’ve owned dogs that I have actively taken care of for years now! Raising my own boxer puppy and helping out family and friends by dog sitting and taking care of dog their dogs for them! I’m currently a freshman at UB! My classes are pretty short and spread out throughout the day! I would have ample time to check on your dog multiple times day! I am also available almost every weekend! I can actively take your dog out, play with it, take it for walks! Whatever is needed to make sure your dog is in a good environment!
“Needed someone for a last-minute drop in for the next day and Margaret willingly accepted. She was timely and send photos while there. Will definitely contact her again.”
“Aliza is a warm and friendly sitter who was able to look after our two kitties on relatively short notice. She had some great ideas for how to handle feeding time based on their personalities and food-related behavior. She was also easy to work with. Will hire again!”
About: I have been around cats and dogs my whole life. I walk my dogs daily, feed them, administer pill medications, and of course love to cuddle them. I have taken care of my neighbors two dogs every weekend of summer for the last 4 years. I love meeting new dogs, gaining their trust, and taking care of them. I put a lot of time into taking care of my dogs, I look forward to putting the same care and effort into your pups while you are away! During the summer, I work retail part-time so I have plenty of time to stop by and care for your pets during the day. I have part time availability Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday I am free all day. I have a fenced in yard where I play with them and they go potty. I live on a road with a large hill and many curves, so when walking them on the road I am very aware and I follow all safety recommendations. I also often bring my dogs to the dog park in Milton, I would be happy to do that with your dog if you do not have a fenced in yard.
“I can’t recommend Iliana enough! Her communication is impeccable, keeping me updated throughout the day with messages and adorable photos of my pups and chickens. It was such a relief to know my dogs were in good hands.”
About: Through my life, I have been a pet parent for several dogs of different ages. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their pets since a young age. Dogs from all ages are welcome including those with dietary and medical needs. I’ve made the decision to leave the banking industry after several years to pursue happiness and focus on my passions. Having a flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the care it needs from potty breaks to overnight stays. I love going for walks and hikes and would love for your pet to attend. As a house sitter, I provide specialized care for each pet, ensuring their happiness and safety at all times. My experience includes administering medication as well, if needed.
“Kate spent time with our very nervous rescue dog this past weekend. Kate is calm and sweet and she made progress with Foxy over the two days. It is hard to leave a nervous dog but we felt that Foxy was in great hands. We were so grateful for the reports and photos Kate sent. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: Aside from growing up with two dogs throughout their puppy and elderly stages of life, I have lots of experience with animals that are not my own. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds—to the point where I consider the squirrels that come to my college dorm window my friends! I love helping out the pet owners in my community and often volunteer to watch dogs for free, just because I enjoy it. I have lots of experience with dogs that have special needs (i.e. injuries or medicine), and I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I approach all animals with the same love and care as if they were my own, and i understand uniquely how worried we can get about our pets when we’re away. Part of my petsitting M.O. is frequent updates (especially photos) to give owners peace of mind. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, but am a lover of all animals and have experience with cats and bunnies as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I am a college junior currently at home for summer break. I will be taking two vacations in the next few months, but other than that my schedule allows for extremely open and flexible hours! I approach all pets with gentleness and respect, and i make sure to provide ample time for them to get used to my presence before interactions. I follow instructions thoroughly, so detail there is always appreciated, and I like to be in consistent contact with owners in case there are questions, concerns, or updates. I understand strangers can be nerve wracking for pets and their parents, so I do my very best to earn trust and be patient!
“We hired Kalyna for a home visit just to meet her and have her spend a little time getting to know our dog. Everything went great, and we hired her for a home visit next weekend. We look forward to working with her!”
About: Open to all kinds of dogs, but I have had large breed dogs since I was 6 years old and took over full time personal care of the dogs at 14. I’m currently a graduate student and working remotely. I have plenty of time for dogs. I am flexible for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise. I’m very active and happy to handle a dog who enjoys lots of play. I have large breed experience so I know how to run a tight ship but also let pets on the couch to cuddle. Happy to implement any training/rules/schedules for your dog. I have a fair bit of training experience so I’m able to help however you need.
“Sam went above and beyond to keep my cat happy while I was gone. She stopped over twice a day to feed and play with Pebbles, and even took care of cleaning the litter box when I mentioned she didn't have to worry about it.”
About: As a dog owner of over 30 year as well as a cat owner I have a lot of experience with caring for animals. I am very active as I go hiking or running at least three or four times a week where I would love to run/ walk/ hike with your dog. I can handle dogs as small as a chihuahua or as big as a Great Dane. I love all dogs, and would treat them as if they were one of mine. I am available on a regular basis and am very quick with my phone as I would always be available to you to get in touch with. I am flexible and could come in the morning, during the day, and even during the evenings.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Marlboro
Jasmine is fantastic! My dog is nervous around new people and takes a little while to warm up. Jasmine is so patient and accommodating and took the time to make my dog feel comfortable. She’s reliable and communicative and takes great care of my dog when she drops in.
I highly recommend Mary! She stepped in at the last minute to watch our dog over a three-day holiday weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. Professional, caring, and incredibly sweet; she quickly put both my dog and me at ease. My dog immediately took a liking to her, and she kept us updated with photos and messages after each visit, which was so reassuring. This was the first time we left our dog with someone, but her kindness and attentiveness made the experience stress-free. We highly recommend her services and would love to have her watch our dog again in the future.

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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Marlboro with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
