“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!”

“Highly recommend Athena as your sitter! She is kind and thoughtful. Very responsible. She responded to my messages almost immediately every time I reached out and that was so important to me. My house was cleaner when I got home then before I left, lol… I will absolutely use her services again!!”


About: For more than 20 years, our life has been rooted in service and travel — first as a retired military family, and later as mission workers serving orphaned youth in the Dominican Republic. Through those experiences, home became especially meaningful to me. Some of the greatest joy in my life has come from raising my children, caring for our animals, and tending to our small homestead. Now that we are happily settled in Naples for good and my children are getting older, I have the opportunity to devote more time to caring for the homes and animals of others with the same love and attention I give my own. I am a homesteading and homeschooling Mom with older children, so my day is flexible with notice. I can do drop in visits to your home within a reasonable distance or stay over night keeping your pets comfortable in their own home as well. Because of the number of animals we already have on our little homestead, I’m only able to offer care for your fur-baby in your home.
“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!”


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 senior in school who’s hours are 8am-12:30Pm. 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.
“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.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Starting watching other people’s animals around 5 years ago. i also have three dogs of my own and used to have a rabbit which was a lot of work and prepared me for more and more. I change around my schedule around it as pets deserve the same attention humans do. They are just as emotional as we are and compassionate. I keep them on leases when needed and keep them in instructed area; fenced in yard, harness, crate, gated area, etc. just basically whatever requirements needed.
“Charles was kind, responsive, and took amazing care of our dogs. He checked in with us daily and sent photos. Our dogs looked happy and relaxed upon our return. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”


About: My experience with animals started in middle school when I began caring for two elderly Shih Tzus. From there, I started dog sitting for families around Goodland throughout my high school years, simply because of my genuine love for animals. Over time, I expanded my experience by fostering dogs for the Cleveland County Animal Shelter in North Carolina, where I’ve cared for multiple breeds with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. This was something I truly enjoyed and did on my days off from practice as I am a Division 1 NCAA athlete, which can be proof to my dedication and abilities at time management and multi-tasking! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I’m very active, organized, and enjoy spending time outdoors. As a Division 1 athlete, staying active and keeping in shape is already a big part of my lifestyle, so I love opportunities that allow me to exercise while caring for animals through walks, playtime, and staying engaged with them throughout the day. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great balance alongside my training and schedule. My goals to make your animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I dealt with mainly rescues from the Cleveland county shelter and found a passion for making trust with animals. In a client’s home, I try to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, cleanliness, and safety at all times to make sure pets are happy and stress-free. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and home, so I always aim to be dependable, respectful, and communicative throughout the stay.

About: I’ve always loved working with animals, and I bring a lot of patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every pet I look after. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adjusting to each pet’s specific needs—whether that means long walks and playtime or a calmer, more relaxed routine. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and the level of care I put into making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I also have experience working with children, including those who need extra patience and understanding, which has helped me develop strong awareness, empathy, and adaptability—skills that translate really well when caring for animals. I’m confident handling younger pets who need consistency and structure, as well as older pets who may need a gentler approach or extra attention. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it my priority to ensure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I am home for the summer from college and have a very flexible schedule. I can fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine with ease. I always care for pets by making sure their energy is used by playing with toys one-on-one with them. I always make sure to take dogs on walks to provide exercise.

About: Hi! I’m Joana, a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Naples, FL. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including overnight and vacation care for friends and neighbors’ pets. I always make it a priority to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide attentive care by making sure pets are fed on schedule, exercised, given plenty of attention, and treated like family. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and enjoy building trust with animals of all personalities. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in a loving and dependable environment. My schedule may vary due to my part-time job, but I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate pet owners’ needs. If I’m working a morning shift, I’m typically available in the mornings until 10 AM. On days I’m not working, I usually have full morning availability. If I’m not scheduled for a morning shift, I’m generally available until 1 PM in the afternoon, and on my days off I’m available throughout the entire day. Feel free to reach out to ask about my availability for the week — I’ll always do my best to help! :) I have a fenced yard and two babies. My dog is super friendly and love meeting new animals, your pet will never feel lonely with my pets :)
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, as much as four in a household! The largest being over 100 pounds and the smallest under 10! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have learned to understand body language pretty well! A little over a year ago my family brought in a month old puppy that has now grown to be a malinois/shepherd/bully mix so I have experience with a work breed puppy as well! I am currently enrolled at FGCU, my classes start during the fall so I am a completely open book during the week and weekends for the rest of the summer! (Will update when I start my classes) I am used to staying at my clients homes, I feel it makes the animals more comfortable and the last thing they need is to stress! I usually ask for notes on how the pets are usually cared for and strictly follow those notes so I don’t disturb the animals mental clock!
“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”

“Sarah is exactly who you would want with your dog, if you love your dog. She is kind and sincere, as well as understands how important my dog is to me. I will not hesitate to contact Sarah every time I need a sitter/ walker/ friend for my dog.”
“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!”
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”

“Edward did a great job taking care of our 2 senior dogs. One is super high maintenance so the fact that Edward didn’t shy away from taking care of her was a giant win! We came back the house was exactly as we left it. He is extremely reliable and communicative. It’s a comfort to know that we have found someone we trust to take care of our babies when we can’t. I’m happy to provide anyone a reference if needed.”

About: Hi! I’m Zoey, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both small and large animals. I grew up surrounded by dogs and worked at a veterinary clinic throughout high school as a kennel tech, receptionist, and with some vet tech experience—so I’m comfortable with everything from basic care to recognizing when something might be off. I had a cocker spaniel, Syye, who I grew up with and loved deeply. Losing him last February was incredibly hard, but it reminded me just how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Now I have a mini Aussie and an orange tabby cat—both of whom came to me from families who wanted a better life for their pets and trusted me to give that to them. That means everything to me. I currently work at a dance studio with kids ages 2–18, so patience, responsibility, and going above and beyond come naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own and truly love building connections with them. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or just extra love and attention, I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. I do work fully time (10-6 Monday through Thursday and 12-8 on Friday) but other than that I am open and ready to care for your pets! In June 2026 through July 2026, I will start working earlier for our dance camps so my schedule will be 8:30am-4:30pm Monday through Friday. I take all safety precautions needed and recommended. If there are any special circumstances or medications that need to be taken into account, just let me know and I will be happy to accommodate! I have also worked in a veterinarian clinic where I assisted vets and their technicians in caring for many different animals.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Old Marco Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Old Marco Junction on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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
- 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.
