“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”
“Alec did an outstanding job caring for my pets and home while I was away for four days over a long weekend. He was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while traveling. When I returned home, my pets were happy and well cared for, and the house was just as clean as I had left it. It’s clear that Alec takes his responsibilities seriously and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. I would absolutely recommend Alec to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be using his services again!”
“Athena did a good job watching our dogs. She was kind to send pictures and updates throughout her time with them. We appreciate that she accommodated our late request for pet sitting.”
“Cara is awesome! She did an overnight with my dog, effectively communicated and sent pictures throughout the stay. I felt my dog was in very good hands. Highly recommend her!”
About: As the proud owner of a beloved Chihuahua for 17 years, I understand that pets are truly family and deserve patient, loving care. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and special needs, including seniors, puppies, and pets requiring extra attention. I have a calm, gentle approach that helps anxious animals feel safe and comfortable, and I’m confident administering medications and providing attentive care for pets with medical needs. I currently serve as the Treasurer of my HOA, where I successfully advocated for and helped establish policies allowing emotional support animals in our community. I treat every pet with the same compassion, respect, and care I would want for my own. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my current lifestyle because I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to dedicate my full attention to your pets and home. I’m currently between professional opportunities, which allows me the time and availability to provide consistent companionship, walks, playtime, medication administration, and attentive care throughout the day. I truly enjoy being present with animals and love creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment while their owners are away. Your pet’s routine, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. When caring for your dog in your home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love. I’m comfortable with crate training, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, senior care, special needs, and administering medications when needed. I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and comfort levels so I can provide personalized care while you’re away. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own, keeping your pet safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: I've taken care of all types of dogs throughout my life, personally owning a large Newfoundland and an Australian Cattle dog, so I have experience dealing with extremely high and low energy breeds. Im a life long animal lover who is currently pursuing my undergraduate in Animal Sciences with a focus on pre veterinarian medicine. In the past Ive dealt more with larger zoo animals like wolves and lynx's but Im always a sucker for some cute dogs. Im currently working mid week, Im available for boarding at any time however during M,T,Th,F bathroom breaks will be limited to 4-8 hours. During weekends and Wednesdays Ill be available to give your furry friends all the attention they need throughout the day. I live in a condo with no designated yard however there is an unfenced yard available for use and dogs will be taken on frequent walks, at least 2 times a day but this varies on your dogs needs. Im open to all dog sitting styles so if you like your dog crated at night or left to roam around just let me know. If your dog has specific preferences or needs please just specify before dropping them off.
About: I’ve grown up in a house full of dogs and cats my entire life. I’m patient and loving and if your dog or cat needs a comforting place to stay, I’m your girl. I allow pets on furniture and to cuddle in bed. I have two Cavalier King Charles who are friendly and playful to keep them company. Accidents happen and if they do I will handle it with a gentle approach if your dog is a puppy or a senior. I am not working during the summer so my days consist mostly of cuddling in the couch with my pets, home workouts and walks with my dogs. I walk my dogs on leashes on the sidewalk and occasionally take them to the dog park. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am careful when I open my doors and ensure that each dog is leashed before opening the door to go outside for a walk.

“David house sat our 120 lb. German Shepherd for a week. During that week, we got daily updates with pictures of Max playing in the back yard.

“Amber was great to work with while she stayed in our home with our three dogs. She loved on them all weekend and we could tell the dogs were happy and much more comfortable at home than at a kennel.”
“Amber was great with our 5 year old bernedoodle. She stayed with him for almost two weeks and treated him like family. She even worked on socializing him with other dogs while we were away. We would recommend her to anyone and will be using her again next time we need help.”
About: Most of my pet sitting experience has been taking care of friends pets when they travel. I've cared for pets for up to 2 months while a friend was away. I have more experience with cats but love caring for dogs as well! I work Monday to Wednesday, and have busy Saturdays, so I am available primarily Thurdays, Fridays and Sundays. But I can make time on Tuesday/Wednesday/Saturday afternoons/ evenings as needed. When I pet sit, I am very vigilant. I keep the pet with in eye sight as much as possible. Before going to bed, I check to make sure they are settled for the night and I check on them first thing in the morning. I will usually keep reminders on my phone for feeding times, walks, and medication if needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Old Marco Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 500 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
