Marcy was incredible! Her communication was amazing starting from the meet and greet, to booking, to before and during her time sitting my pup! She provided updates each day making me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear that my dog was well taken care of. I will use her as a sitter again!

Lori was so fantastic to have in my home and she did an amazing job with my puppy! It was incredible to get some time to go to an appointment and run errands while knowing my puppy was safe and having a good time. Lori sent updates and photos so I wouldn't be worried. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!

It’s always daunting having to find someone take care of your fur babies. I was so happy to have had Lilly be so helpful in keeping our girls safe, loved and well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely be using her to help us out again. Thanks Lilly! ??

5 STAR ⭐️ Jasmin and her pup Thor took the best care of my deaf bulldog, Mouse while I was out of town for 3 nights. I was so worried when I saw that there would be extreme heat during my time away but when I reached out to Jasmin she asked great questions and listened carefully to how I usually handle hot weather to keep Mouse safe and comfortable. Jasmin provided great updates and pictures/video that made me feel able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Jasmin carefully followed Mouse’s complicated feeding and medication needs. I feel Lucky to have met Jasmin, she even provided some training for Mouse and I on a behavioral issue he was having.

About: I’ve loved pets all my life and very good with cats and dogs. I enjoy caring for all types of animals and treat them as if they are my own. I have my own dog and cat and I take a lot of time watching them and taking care of their needs. I love it. I have a part time job but I still find time to give both of them attention I have an outdoor cat and indoor dog meaning I have experienced two different environments when it comes to pets. With this experience I know I will be able to make pets feel safe.

About: I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own i do have 2 dogs and an orange cat. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they need. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, administer oral medications if needed, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens who need extra patience, as well as senior pets who require a gentler approach. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free experience where your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for from the moment you leave until you return! i’m currently part time working for a family. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I only work from 8:20–9:00 AM and 10:20–11:15 AM, Monday through Friday, so I have plenty of availability before, between, and after those hours to care for your pet. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, companionship, or check-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they always have fresh food, water, and a clean environment. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. i know plenty of fun dogs parks around the area and walking paths.

Amanda was great with our three Husky’s. They are all blowing their coats and she did a great job keeping up with the flying fur. Our dogs were so calm and relaxed when we got home, she did a great job of keeping me updated and I didn’t have to worry about whether or not they were well cared for during our vacation!

About: i’m a stay at home mom of a 1 year old! we love to go on walks and be outside and would love to use that time to help some families with their animals! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our home was always full of at least a few dogs and i was always helping out neighbors and friends with pet and house sitting and have loved every minute of it! i’m a stay at home mom with open availability to check on and care for your pet! i’m happy to play with your pet at your home, at a park or with walk!! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you truly trust. I’ve used Rover to find care for my own dogs, so I understand both the excitement and the nerves that come with leaving your pets in someone else’s hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own.

The pets and house were well tended to. Our dog was really happy to see us and had the zoomies for about an hour. The cats are cats and didn't seem to care too much that we were home. We would love to have her watch our pets and house again in the future.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats. I also have my own rabbit, Snoopy, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I have experience pet sitting for friends and family and am especially comfortable with large breeds including pit bulls, Dobermans, German Shepherds, and huskies. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and staying calm in emergency situations. I’m very attentive to pets and good at noticing when something seems off, and I’m comfortable communicating concerns quickly and getting veterinary care if needed. I will care for your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I work full-time as an Operations Manager, but pet care fits easily into my routine! I’m available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I am also available overnights! I make pet care a priority and will always communicate my schedule clearly so your pet gets reliable, loving care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I’m very attentive and good at noticing when something seems off, and I will always communicate updates or concerns quickly. I’m comfortable administering medication when needed and staying calm in emergency situations if they arise. I will treat your home and pets with the same care, love, and respect I would want for my own. I also know how hard it can be being away from your pet (I’m definitely that pet parent too with my rabbit, Snoopy 😂), so I’m always happy to send plenty of photo and video updates for extra peace of mind!

About: Northeast Ohio Native! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I understand that dogs need time outside, walks and plenty of attention to keep them happy and healthy. I also understand that cats have their own personalities they love their playtime, but they also appreciate their independence and quiet time. No matter their personality or routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll be right by their side, providing companionship and the care they deserve! All animal photos in my gallery are pets I have lived with or cared for within the past three years, except for Sasha the Giraffe I had the opportunity to feed while at the San Diego Zoo! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attention, walks and playtime. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I care for every pet by learning their individual needs, personality and routine before providing care. I prioritize trust and comfort by following owner instructions, maintaining a clean environment and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I want each pet to feel relaxed, secure and cared for while their family is away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Marlboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 594 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marlboro. 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 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 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 Marlboro. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
