“Tee was amazing! We went away for the weekend on short notice, and Tee was so wonderful with Marshmallow. They sent pics to keep us updated with each visit throughout the weekend, and I felt so at ease knowing that our pup was receiving excellent, responsive, gentle care to meet exactly what he needed.”

“Shannon has been amazing… she has helped us out for both an overnight visit and a drop in. She is so sweet to Benji and always makes sure that he feels extra love and doesn’t miss us! She’s kept up his schedule and exercise and is very aware of his heart condition and doesn’t push him. She is very helpful and polite. Would definitely use her over and over!”

“This is the first time we had someone take care of our dog Sawyer that was not a relative or friend. We were nervous because Sawyer can be anxious around strangers and he also has some medical issues. Our fears were put to rest at the first meet and greet between Sawyer and Andrew. Andrew immediately engaged Sawyer and listened carefully to my concerns. He was always on time and visited as scheduled. He was faithful in providing reports after each visit that led me to think he already knew what was important to me as Sawyer’s mom. We will definitely contact Andrew if we need him to take care of Sawyer in the future!”

About: As a daughter of a practicing veterinary technician, I have over 30 years of experience handling all types of animals from dogs to horses & can accommodate any pet’s specific needs, specifically senior care and medication administration. I work full-time Monday through Friday but as a lifelong horse, dog and cat owner I’m used to the daily responsibilities that come with pet ownership and take great pride in providing exceptional care to all of my furry friends, whether my personal pets or to assist someone else. It’s never easy to trust a stranger with you fur-kids, but they’re in safe hands with me. I will do whatever is necessary to accommodate the pet & their owner’s specific care requirements. I cannot currently have pets at my property as I have a senior German Shepherd that requires her own space, but I am more than welcome to travel to a client’s house to care for their pet(s) as needed!

About: Hi, I’m Roland! 🐾 I have hands-on experience in animal shelter care, dog handling, and training. I’m passionate about understanding canine behavior and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup needs a walk, some company, or extra patience and understanding, I’m here to help! I’ll treat your dog like family and keep their well-being my top priority. Pet care is a part of my daily routine and a major part of my life. I make sure my animals receive consistent feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, and attention every day. I also prioritize their mental well-being by observing their behavior, building trust, and providing opportunities for training and socialization at their individual comfort levels. Between caring for my own animals, working at an animal shelter, and training dogs privately, animal care is something I dedicate time to throughout the week. I understand that every animal has different needs, and I strive to provide patient, consistent, and compassionate care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I maintain routines and reinforce basic training every other day to keep dogs mentally engaged and well-behaved.

About: I’ve handled everything and anything your pooch may need either with my own little boy or other dogs. From bathing to sneaking medications in treats to regular or expected vet visits. I have just come back from active duty service. I am looking to start my 1st semester of college in the spring and as of now, my dog is my #1 priority. And if your pooch is under my care I’ll make sure he is too! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. Plenty of toys from my own pooch that yours is welcome to use as well. My boy is very active so he gets his walks every 3 hours and decent run every other day along with trips to the park. It would be lovely to find a pooch that could match his energy.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, potty breaks, and spending quality time with pets. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets as well as pets who are shy, anxious, older, or simply need some extra patience. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and provide photos and updates throughout the visit so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to arrange a meet & greet before a first booking. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make sure I only accept bookings that I can give the proper time and attention to. My availability can vary throughout the week, so I communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure our schedules work together. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, with more flexibility on certain days and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I understand that being away from their owner or in a new environment can be stressful for some animals, so I’m patient and allow them time to get comfortable with me. I keep pets supervised, provide a clean and comfortable environment, and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual. I’m also happy to do a meet & greet beforehand so both you and your pet feel comfortable!

About: I've grown up with a variety of animals - dogs, cats, snakes, a bearded dragon, snails, fish, you name it! Now, I am a research scientist who works in turtle conservation. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have a cat named Filbert, who is my life, and I recently lost my soul dog of 17 years, Sadie. Without her, I want to dedicate my time to taking care of the furry (or not-so furry) members of your family! Some quick information: - Fostered over 30 feral cats and kittens - President of the Rowan Animal Advocacy Club in undergrad - Lives in Galloway, NJ I work Monday through Friday 9-5 , but I have 2 work-from-home days during the week that allow me some flexibility in popping in on your pet! Otherwise, I'm open to walking, pop-in visits, and housesitting on the weekends and after 6 during the week. Safety is key for both your pet and myself. It takes a lot of trust to allow someone access to your pet and your home. I will do everything in my power to maintain that trust through clear communication and instruction.

“Erin was fantastic. My wife was out of town for the week so I had Erin do drop-ins / walks with my 3 dogs while I was at work. The kids had an absolute ball and it gave me peace of mind that they weren’t cooped up all day alone. She was kind, caring, respectful, professional, and receptive to my pets’ individual needs be it my old guy not being able to keep up with his younger sisters or my youngest needing her scheduled eye drops during her visit. Absolutely stellar care giver for whatever your pet requires.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Absecon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Absecon is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 525 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Absecon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Absecon. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
