“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 17, I started walking dogs for a job years. It’s makes my day to see a dog smile and wag their tail out of happiness from a walk or a boarding. I am an experienced dog mom of 4 big and small dogs who are rescues. Currently a college student looking to help fund my education! I’m currently in college full time with evening classes. I have plenty of time to work with your pets and open flexibility to accommodate your needs and your pets. I have a long road and have a huge yard for your dog to run around and play. I have four dogs of my own to keep your dog company.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Mariah. From the moment we dropped our pup off, it was clear that this wasn’t just a job—it was a calling. The level of attention, care, and genuine love for animals was apparent. Our dog was treated like family, with thoughtful updates and the kind of affection that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a big heart, but we found it here. When we picked up our dog, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her stay. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book again and are so grateful to have found someone we trusted so completely with our girl. Highly, highly recommended!”
“Kate was absolutely amazing with our pup, Swift! After having our normal boarding facility cancel on us due to overbooking before a vacation, I quickly visited rover to see if I could find a suitable match for Swift. Kate responded in about 10 minutes and accepted the booking, a true life saver! Swift loved his time at Kate’s beautiful home. He has been pooped since you pickup and I know he truly got the attention and exercise that he needs. Kate sent tons of pictures which really eased my mind while I was on vacation. Thank you again Kate! We will be back.”
“Our 2 pups had the absolute best time with Dee! It was our puppies first time away with a sitter and Dee treated her like her own! She also took great care of our senior dog. She sent us a ton of pictures and videos and put us at ease and made the experience super smooth and easy!”
“MarySue took took wonderful care of my dog! She has a great setup, great communication and typically has other dogs there which was an added bonus! I highly recommend MarySue and I plan to bring back my Kater boy in the future! :)”
“A great Wildwood /Cape May vacation was had by All Dolly appeared happy and relaxed after her stay with Janet. I think she enjoyed the attention and company (both human and canine). No signs of anxiety or stress. Great job, Janet and friends!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs. I’ve helped train my own and have been relied on to watch neighbors’ and friends’ over the years as well! I worked for a dog walking company for over a year. I am a graduating college student with a good bit of free time most days and will be free for most the summer to care for your pets. I will play, pet, and walk with your dogs as needed, and enjoy every second of it. If needed to be in a crate i will place a toy with them and provide a treat if allowed.
“If you’re looking for the best in Milton, DE, look no further. Jessica by far is the BEST!! I have a senior bichonpoo who is fussy and Jessica cared for him so well. I knew he was in good hands when I brought him to her house on the first day and he didn’t want to leave. I received pictures and he looked so happy and rested. Thank you for taking such excellent care of my special baby, well senior dog. Will be back when I go to Bethany Beach, DE again. Tiki misses you already! Jessica is such a lovely person too!!”
“Mike is a trustworthy, caring, friendly and dog oriented person. He was overwhelming accommodating for our pup Jack. Mike understands dogs for sure. . Jack enjoyed his 2day stay with Mike. We will definitely use Mike in the future.”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
“Michele is a wonderful dog-sitter! She is very knowledgeable about dogs. We met in advance of my dog’s stay so Michele could ensure compatibility and understand his needs and routine. My dog has separation anxiety, and Michele was extremely caring and accommodating. She sends photos and messages frequently. This was my first experience using Rover, and I have booked another sitting with her for May 2026. Thank you, Mickey!”
“Paula helped us out with a last minute booking, she was incredible! Quick and clear communication! From my mom: “she's amazing sent me about 4 pictures letting me know he was such a good boy and getting along with other dogs. I was so happy to have her do that for me. Really happy with her! Definitely gonna use her again” thanks Paula!!!”
“When our flights got canceled, delaying our return home by a day, Eric was incredibly generous and offered to continue watching Pepper. It feels as though Pepper is incorporated into the family and Eric always has Pepper’s best interests at heart. He will continue to be our first pick for dog sitters on Rover.”
“These guys are outstanding! Susan gave me so much confidence socializing my dog. Dogs of all sizes are there and Susan takes care of each one of them with kindness and love. She is an absolute expert. Would highly recommend Susan and Bob. We will be taking our dog back there for all our play dates and long trips.”
“Sierra was great with our Chocolate Labrador! While on vacation, we needed someone to watch him while we went to a show out of town. Although timid, Sierra took her time and made our dog feel comfortable in a new space. We would definitely recommend to Sierra to any one who is local or from out of town!”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cape May on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 138 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cape May. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
80% of Cape May sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cape May landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cape May home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cape May.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Cape May sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
