About: I've had pets my entire life. I am very familiar with taking care of them. I have years of experience in overnight sitting and caring for others' pets as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule. As a Realtor, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. If they should need extra care, I'll be there! I have done all overnight pet sitting at my client's home. I make sure the pets are properly taken care of, attended to, and all duties assigned are completed.
“Cecilia’s extremely personable and caring. Sophie was very comfortable and happy as evidenced by the daily pictures/videos we received. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our new little girl with Cecilia and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
About: I’ve had animals and have been helping take care of animals all my life. With recently losing a dog it brings me so much joy to be able to help others as well as having a temporary buddy. I recently moved to the area and am still in search of work so that means my days are free. When I secure a job I will be working 5-6 hours in the evening during the week. I have a small fenced area as well as a dog park in my apartment complex. I have an extra-large crate if needed for boarding as well.
“Gabriela did a wonderful job taking care and keeping my 2 golden doodles safe and happy. She stayed over my house and kept them on routine with no issues at all for a week. very responsive and sending me photos daily- we even did facetime! She also kept the house clean and exactly the way I left it. I highly recommend Gabriela for all services! my doodles loved her! Thank you Gabriela- until next time!”
“Victor was an awesome dogsitter for us while we were away for a week! He was extremely communicative and sent multiple updates a day. We are helicopter dog parents 😆 and Victor truly made us feel at ease. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great dogsitter!”
“Jill is the best!! She stayed at our house to watch over our large golden retriever, and took such great care of him and the house while we were away. We will definitely rebook with Jill!!”
About: What sets me apart is my personal experience caring for dogs throughout every stage of their lives. I’ve had multiple dogs and have raised them from puppies into their senior years, giving me experience with different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs with special needs, including dogs who have experienced strokes and deaf dogs. These experiences taught me to be patient, attentive, and adaptable while making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m committed to giving each pet the individual care and attention they deserve. I also have my own dogs and cats. I have three dogs named Blitzen, Dominic and Spooky. Also a cat named Jesse. I love them all equally and love spreading the love all around! My pets are a huge part of my everyday life, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m used to keeping a consistent schedule for going outside, feeding, and giving medications when needed. I enjoy spending time with my pets throughout the day, and at night, all of my dogs and cats usually hang out with me in the living room before we go to bed. I’m comfortable building my schedule around pets and making sure they get the attention, care, and routine they need. I always follow the owner’s preferences and do my best to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and routine. I make sure their feeding, walks, medications, and other activities stay organized and on schedule. Most importantly, I provide plenty of attention, patience, and love so every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: My neighbors and friends dogs love me and know that I always have a treat for them. It doesn't matter how long they want to play catch and I love sharing my bed. I walk daily and am looking forward to sharing my routine with your fur baby. I am available most days of the week and always on weekends. I am a long term resident of Naples, Florida and am willing to stay with your fur baby. I love to snuggle and watch tv with them on my lap. I know local vets and the best parks for walking.
“Kelsey took great care of all my three dogs. She walked them every morning for an hour to give them exercise they used to with me. She brushed my standard poodle every day and she followed all the instructions I gave her. When I returned home all my pups looked happy. Thank you Kelsey! I surely would use her services again.”
“Jordan is a great dog sitter and has helped us on several occasions! She is very responsive and responsible, which helps us know that Ellie is in great hands. Ellie is a 2.5 year old golden retriever and full of energy and very headstrong, but Jordan does a great job of controlling her on walks and helping get out all of her energy. I highly recommend her and know that you won't be disappointed!”
“Sarah is the best! She has been so good with our dogs and so reliable. She sent updates throughout our trip, left our house spotless and made sure both pups were so well cared for. It’s so nice having complete peace of mind when we’re out of town. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Wonderful!!! Toni is the sweetest! So kind! She truly loved and cared for our dog in every way. I think our sweet pup was sad to see us come home. lol. Thank you Toni! The best!”

I have a fenced house with a big back yard and I also have 2 small dogs Tengo una casa cercada con un gran patio trasero y también tengo 2 perros pequeños
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and even reptiles since I was 9 years old. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and had my own pitbull as an adult. I have cared for dogs in every stage of their life from puppy to senior with extra needs being met. I have helped care for a house of 7 cats while living with a roommate as well. I have done several pet sitting jobs not acquired using an online service and have stayed in their homes to do so. I am extremely confident that you will love having me as a sitter and rehire me! Let me love on your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed and working on my dental hygiene license so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. As of right now, any days or times will work perfect for me. I cannot bring pets into my home but I would be more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their home or simply make visits.
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have plenty of hands on experience caring for them. My family has 3 dogs and a couple of cats, and I’ve also dog sat and cat sat for other families. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible, as most of my classes are online and I only work a part time job. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I make sure to follow their routines, pay close attention to their needs, and provide a calm and loving environment. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel happy and comfortable while they are in my care.
“We used Maggie for the first time for an overnight weekend away and left her entrusted with our home and our two large Great Danes and she was great. Most important to us was she was there when she said she would be, did what we asked her to do, followed our care instructions, and treated our kiddos as if they were her own. She communicated regularly and kept us informed, as well as asked questions when needed to ensure we were on the same page. We would recommend Maggie's services and plan to use her again ourselves. Thanks Maggie for being honest and doing what you said you would do! Came home to happy and healthy pets.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Old Marco Junction is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $72 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Old Marco Junction 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 Old Marco Junction 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 Old Marco Junction 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.

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.
