About: When my dog was a puppy I’d train him, but made sure it was like a game. He now sits politely for scratches and food. I do have a part time job at the moment but I can provide pet care just about any time and day with advance notice. I have experience with crate training, preparing treat toys, grooming (such as brushing, trim, ear cleaning, dental) and I will follow feeding instructions as needed.
About: Neighbor who wants to help and take care of your babies, and make them feel safe during these stressful times. Had dogs my whole life. Hello! I work from home and have the flexibility to make sure my own pets (and others) needs are met and are taken care of. I have a friendly dog that will make sure they don’t feel lonely. I have a big spacious home inside with a backyard, not fenced.
“Shannon was the best. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitties in her hands. She sent pictures every day and was always in communication. Definitely would hire her again.”
“Great experience! We booked a quick drop-in visit before an upcoming house sit, and everything went wonderfully. She was punctual, friendly, and took the time to get to know our pets and their routines. We felt very comfortable with her and are looking forward to having her stay with our pets while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“We absolutely loved having Kyla's help. We had a last minute request but she was so accommodating. Our cat loved her too! We will definitely book Kyla again for our next trip.”

About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Absecon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Absecon 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Absecon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
