About: Been around animals all my life, they care and love i have and the joy it brings is out of this world. Also as i help care for my grandmom and she has had pets growing up. I know it will bring her joy and will take up her time as she sits in the house, if we dont go out for the day. As i work on the week days, i am availble (if nothing pops up) on the weekends, like a friday night untill sunday night if that will work for anybody. And also i do work in the school system so having weeks off for or a couple days off can change my schedule but for now, weekends are best. If pets need care i am here to learn and help, i do offer a yard (sadly is not fenced) but if on a leash your pet will be taken very care of and we be shown love and care.
About: I’ve taken care of pets from pit bulls who need more socialization to cats who are shy and have special needs. I’ve learned to have more patience so I can really get to know how each pet behaves. I’m always available to drop in during weekdays from early morning to afternoon while I’m still working out a more consistent schedule with my part-time job, but I will always make time for a furry friend in need! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. Dropping in to your house will be no issue, I’ll make sure everything stays as it was, if not better!
“Jamie was fantastic and great at communicating. She took really good care of our dogs and rabbit. After the nightmare we had with another sitter on Rover, Jamie was a great relief. I would highly recommend her!”
“Andrew was absolutely amazing! He was very attentive to my animals and made sure I was updated every visit. Definitely will be rebooking with him in the near future.”
About: I've taken care of my own dogs for many years, feeding, cleaning up after them, playing with them, bathing and brushing them, even cutting their nails. I have also taken care of a few neighborhood dogs. I have also worked as an animal care person at a reptile facility, so I know my way around a lot of animals! I am on a break from college currently to get some money for the rest of my years of studying, since I cannot afford to right now. I will dedicate as much time as I can to your pets and do my best for them! While I do not offer in home sitting, I have been taking care of animals for a solid 6 years of my life, including reptiles and birds! I am also connected to the Absecon Police Department so if anything were to happen while I were dog/house sitting, rest assured the situation would be resolved quickly and efficiently.
“Thank you Breanna! It meant a lot that to us to have our kitties stay at home while we were away versus boarding them. She did great with our three cats, one is very social, one needed medicine and the third is your typical cat. I would highly recommend Breanna. Very easy to communicate with and could tell our cats we’re in good hands during the initial meet and greet.”
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.
“Maria was AMAZING! My two kitty cats warmed up to her instantly which, if you have a cat, that says A LOT about how warm and inviting her energy is. I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”
About: Growing up, I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages. I had many puppies throughout might childhood. as well as older dogs. I took and still take pleasure in making sure they were getting treated the correct way and making sure they feel loved. At the end of the day, they are apart of the family! I currently work 9am-5pm so I am available any time after 5pm during the week. I am flexible during the weekend. Whether your dog needs to a walking break or a potty break, I can help I currently have a backyard that is not fenced in, as my dog is trained to not leave the yard. However, I am more than comfortable using leashes. I will be sure to make your dogs safety and experience a top priority

About: My family had many cats, dogs, rabbits, and horses growing up. I’ve been around animals the majority of my life. We cared for and re-homed many stray cats and kittens that showed up on our property as well. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with my and my friend’s pets, and it’s a pleasure to be in the company of animals. I currently have an office job where I work 9-5 in Egg Harbor Township. I am available during weekdays in early morning or evenings, and weekend availability. Care with patience and love. I make sure all pets needs are attended to as requested, and that they get a good amount of attention during the day.
About: I have over thirty years of experience caring and loving both my own pets as well as caring for family and friends’ pets. I am used to puppy through senior as well as sensitivity or food allergies. I am available for day, overnight or boarding. I am generally available weekdays and weekends. Able to accommodate many holiday weekends with advance notice as well. I have a large roughly half acre backyard fully fenced with a separate fenced dog run. I have a medium to large size crate for use.
About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.
“I’ve booked Mae multiple times and will continue to do so! I recently had to put one of my cats down right before going out of town and was very worried about my remaining cat. Mae adjusted her schedule for me, dropped in twice a day, and spent extra hours with my kitty every night. She is honest and trustworthy and I feel totally comfortable leaving my baby in her care. I will always book her when I need her as long as she’s available!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
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.
