“My husband & I were really nervous to have someone house sit, but not only was Ryan awesome with our Yorkie & Fox Terrier but we returned to a clean house. He followed all of our well & gave daily reports on our fur-babies. Thanks so much Ryan!!”
“Ericka was the BEST!!! She took care of my fur babies, kept my house clean, cared for my fish and ducks, even checked my mail for me! Literally will use her again in the future when we need a sitter! Thank you so much!”
“Kaitlyn pet/house sat for us recently, and we are so grateful for her help. She kept us regularly informed of our babies and was comfortable asking questions. It was wonderful knowing we had someone we could trust taking care of our critters!”
“Sheryl and her husband were truly OUTSTANDING! They came through for me when I found myself with an 11th hour need, and took excellent care of my 15week puppy over the weekend. They gave her lots of playtime and affection. You can trust Sheryl to take excellent care of your dog.”
“Kat was greet watching our 3 dogs! Completely put my mind at ease knowing they were taken care of for the week! And we got pictures everyday! Would highly recommend Kat and our dogs would too! I think they miss her already!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life! Right now, I have a two-year-old puppy named Winston. If you ask any of my friends, they'll tell you that I'm the first person to stop and pet any dog! I love all dogs and get so much joy out of spending time with and taking care of them. Don't worry - Winston doesn't live with me so your dog will be the center of attention! I typically work Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm but my schedule can be flexible so please reach out ! Allentown, Quakertown, or anywhere in between would be most convenient :) but just let me know what you and your dog’s needs are and I’ll always do my best to accommodate/communicate with you. The care I give depends on you! I’ll make sure your dog gets everything they need and provide lots of playtime and pets too. Tell me everything about them (when and what they eat, how often to let them out and/or go on walks, their personality, etc.) I've worked with dogs of all ages too; for puppies, I have lots of experience with both crate and potty training.
“Tabatha is amazing! She did a great job taking care of Eevee for the week and watching the home. She kept me updated with pictures and responded so quickly to messages.”
“Aaron went above and beyond with our dog; we knew he would after an incredible meet n greet. He walked our dog several times AND played ball with her in backyard. She ate her dinner with him and rested comfortably with him after she tired out! Aaron sent us great pictures and updates. Definitely calling on him again. And it was Christmas, spending 5 hours with our dog.”
“Rebecca is the best! She knew we were worried about leaving our dog and sent pictures the entire time we were away. She genuinely cares about the pets she watches over. Duke was calm, happy and well cared for, even with a thunderstorm and a power outage. Would definitely recommend Rebecca to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: I've always cared for animals, and I'm willing to go above and beyond for animals who need help. Owners need help as much as their animals do! I'm currently out of work, so willing to do anything for animals to make ends meet. If I can help every animal and owner, I will. Inside other's homes I will do everything in my power to keep it as it was when I first enter. There is nothing to deter me from maintaining proper care.
About: I grew up on a farm, so taking care of all types of pets and animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was young and have obtained more skills in my professional career as a veterinary technician. I can do anything from feeding, walking, bathing, administering medications of all kinds, senior care, puppy care, and everything else under the sun! I’m currently taking a break from my professional career as a veterinary technician so I will be at home all day for at least 5 days a week. I have 4 dogs of my own and a 6 year old step daughter half the time that I care for as well. All animals in the home are pet friendly. I have a small area of fenced in yard with 10 acres of open land. The dogs always love a new play mate!
“Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly kind, respectful and attentive to every detail. She asked thoughtful and important questions, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dogs in her care. My dogs absolutely loved her! She was early for both our meet and greet and her visit, and her communication and reliability were amazing. I truly couldn’t rate her highly enough and look forward to having her watch my fur babies again!”
About: I’ve grew up around German shepherds since I was 5 and I’ve always found to love just playing and taking care of them. I am good with taking care of dogs with high energy and even anxious dogs as well. Im very patient to each and every dogs needs and that not every dog needs the same care. My goal is when you see your dog again they feel happy, safe and loved while I’m caring for them I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can also provide care on weekdays, especially after 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I have a safe and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I have one older, friendly dog who is used to being around other animals. Since my yard isn’t fenced, I make sure pets are always supervised outside and safely leashed when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and crate time if needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.
“Jarris was great with our two pups. One of them stops eating when we leave and he did everything possible to make her feel comfortable. He communicated well and often about how they were doing.”
“Nico is the absolute best dog sitter on the planet. So grateful for him and all he did to take care of my pups. Definitely plan to use his dog sitting services many times. Absolutely trustworthy.”
“Kim is very sweet! She was so kind to our pup, and when we came home, our pup was healthy and happy. She kept us up to date each morning and evening. The house was in perfect shape when we returned. Kim even offered to strip the bed, clean the sheets, and make the bed! We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in Kim's care. I highly recommend!”
“Jackie was amazing! She took great care of our five cats and one dog. Especially on such short notice. If you ever need a suggestion for someone we highly recommend her, and will use her again in the future. All of our animals were instantly comfortable with her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Marlboroville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marlboroville. 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 Marlboroville 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 Marlboroville 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 Marlboroville 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.
