“Vanessa and Paula worked great as a team! They came to visit Skylar the night before I went out of time, took her on a walk, and was there right on time the next morning. I was able to go out of time without a single worry. Paula sent me the cutest pictures and videos while I was away. There was one small hiccup with my key, but even then she figured everything out on her own without any additional stress to me. Highly recommend! My dog and I were both happy”
“Cara was fabulous with our puppy and cat! She updated with pictures and how they were doing and the fur babies were very happy when I got home! Will absolutely be using Cara for our little fur family again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats including my own. I’m reliable and reasonable. I’m very excited to watch / care for your fur babies!! I’m currently a freshman in college who’s hours are 9am-12:00Pm. I Work part time and can fit visits in between school and work with time. I care for pets as they need to be cared for. I meet any needs. I will even sit and love on them a while.
About: I have four years of professional experience working with dogs, including three years as a kennel handler and one year training service dogs. My experience includes daily kennel care and handling, canine behavior management, obedience training, and service-dog preparation. I am comfortable working with dogs of varying breeds, temperaments, and training needs. I currently have flexible, 24/7 availability while I work from home and complete additional certifications. This allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day, including overnight stays and extended care when needed. I'm happy to work with your dog's individual routine and schedule. If your dog stays in my home, they'll have plenty of space to enjoy on my 2-acre property, as well as company throughout their stay. I have roommates and another dog in the home, so your dog would have the opportunity to have companionship, provided they are comfortable around other people and dogs. For in-home care at your home, I'm happy to provide whatever care your dog needs. I can follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, training, and general companionship. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
About: The well-being and happiness of animals are my priority, as it is something I truly enjoy. I am committed to providing responsible and attentive care, adapting to the needs of each pet. Whether during walks, playtime, or moments of companionship, I offer a safe, calm environment full of dedication. 🐾💙I have always been surrounded by pets in my family for a long time. Currently, I don’t have any pets because I plan to travel a lot next year, but in my heart, I still feel the need to care for or be accompanied by a little furry friend. 🐾💛 If there are any needs for your pet, don't hesitate to let me know, I am open to any requests all to ensure a happy and safe stay... I currently have a part-time job that varies a lot from week to week, so sometimes I have quite a few free days when I’m at home with my computer. I usually adapt well to each client’s needs, so the daily routine whether it’s just walks, daytime pet sitting, or in-home care varies depending on each owner’s requests. 🐾
“Erin is the most amazing soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I had a different rover sitter scheduled weeks in advance that was supposed to stay in my house with my 2 frenchies while I went back to MD to visit with family. The night before my flight I received a message from the sitter saying he could not make it & the booking was cancelled, needless to say I was panicking trying to find someone last minute. It turns out that was the biggest blessing because Erin saved my entire trip! She is so wonderful! She was willing to stop by my house an hour after contacting her so I could show her where everything was and so she could meet Loki and Diesel. She treated my frenchies as if they were her own! She sent me updates, videos and pictures multiple times a day! I always worry about someone watching my dogs because I have one frenchie who is jealous and shows aggression towards my other frenchie. That did not deter Erin, she accepted the challenge and navigated everything with patience and grace! I feel so lucky that the initial rover sitter canceled less than 12 hours before my scheduled flight because it lead me to Erin!”
“Gabriela did an excellent job staying at our home and taking care of Finn, our large golden doodle. She communicated with us regularly, dispensed his meds and left the house clean and tidy. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I have a lot of experience with Young and Senior dogs, Both with my own dogs and clients.I am also very experienced with indoor cats.I do work Full Time during the week. I will always work my own schedule around my clients. I pick my jobs with care so I am sure I can devote myself 100%. I am an experienced house and pet sitter.

About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs.From a young age, l've been passionate about providing love, attention, and proper care to furry friends. My daily work in veterinary medicine has further deepened my understanding of animal behavior. I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care and attention to your pet, whether it's administering medication or simply spending quality time together. My daily and weekly routine has taught me the importance of consistency, attention to detail, and compassion in pet care. As a pet sitter, l'll bring this same level of dedication and care to your pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while you're away. I understand the importance of providing care to your pet while you’re away in the comfort of their own home. I provide regular updates to clients via phone, email, or text, including photos and videos. I maintain open communication with clients to ensure their pets receive the best care possible.

I don’t have a home yet, so I currently offer client’s home services! It’s important that I know where pet non-negotiables are. I also make it personal to provide pet owners with occasional check-ups to ensure them of their fur baby’s satisfaction!
“Federica was great! She came down with a fever and took Erin to her house to better take care of her. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us during this time. Erin came home worn out and in good spirit from playing with Federica's dog. We would employ Federica again!”
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m dependable, active, will always provide playtime, feeding, check ins, and plenty of attention. I also live to go on walks myself so they will definitely get to be outside and get their energy out! I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure owners receive updates while their pets are in my care. I have a flexible schedule and can make pet care fit easily into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and can work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I will always make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll follow and accommodate to any instructions you provide. Including feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I’ll keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and send updates so you know they’re safe and well cared for.
About: My family dog Jake lives in Philadelphia, and we’re very very close. Whenever I’m home, I feed him home cooked meals, take him on walks often, spend time outside with him, and if I’m inside he follows me from room to room all day. We’ve built a special friendship even though I’m only able to see him for a few months of the year. I work online as a holistic health coach, which gives me a lot of flexibility to be home and give your dog the attention and love they deserve. I don’t see this as simply “pet watching”. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would love to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. I also love to cook, so I’m more than happy to prepare fresh, home cooked meals for your pets if that’s part of their routine. I love being outside too, so walks, park/beach trips, and plenty of time outdoors are things I’d genuinely look forward to. More than anything, I’d love to have dogs in my life more often. If I’m taking care of your dog, I want them to feel at home with me. I’m available any day of the week with at least 48 hours notice! I work online, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to spend a lot of time at home with your pets. Most of my work consists of independent work and client calls, all of which I can comfortably do while your pets are around. That way your pets can have plenty of company and care throughout the day without me needing to leave them alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them. Whether that means playing outside in the yard, getting some exercise indoors, or simply relaxing and keeping them company. I’ll make sure they always have fresh + filtered water, are fed according to their normal routine, and get plenty of walks / attention throughout the day. I’m also a holistic health coach, so if your pets eat home cooked meals, I’d be more than happy to prepare their food as well. I spend most of my day outside and walk a lot, so frequent walks can easily fit into my routine. Finallh, if there’s any way you'd like me to curate the environment to support them then I’d be more than happy to do that!
“Christian is the best house sitter ever! Kobe and Sam love him. He sent us photos and took them for walks regularly. We will book him for all future trips we may schedule. Thank you, Christian!”
About: I have always been a huge pet lover to dogs, cats, and every single animal my entire life. I attended grooming school and received my certification in 2024. I’ve owned my own family pets growing up including a lot of dogs. My experience is great with animals and I’m familiar with everything. I also have taken a vet technician course for a year back in high school as well. I love taking care of animals and spending time with them, knowing that I’m there to care for them and making them happy makes me feel successful. I love taking them for long walks and giving them their play/cuddle/nap time. I love everything about animals and it’s a passion to work with such amazing furballs. I've taken care of my own animals over the course of my entire life. My friends and family trust me to watch their own little fur babies and I absolutely love it. I have such a passion and love for animals; that is why I love being able to be around them in my spare time and help others whenever I can. I have rover and used to do that in my spare time as well. I’m a very respectful, trustworthy, friendly, clean, outgoing, hard-working, honest individual. Currently work a few days a week but I’ll have plenty of time to play with and take care of your wonderful cute pets. Looking forward to meeting you! I can easily crate your dog if needed. Anything that is requested will be fine with me. Your pet will be in great loving hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Old Marco Junction. 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 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 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 Old Marco Junction. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
