“Alaya is a fantastic sitter who honestly goes above and beyond to care for your pet. I've used her services 2x so far and will continue to use her services in rhe future. Truly one of the best on Rover.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Molly! She was caring, reliable, and attentive. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in such good hands. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and my dog was happy and relaxed when I got home. I highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving person to care for their pet!”
“Caroline is our go to girl! We are so fortunate to have met her! This is the 3rd time she has watched our babies and we will always see if she is available whenever we make travel plans.”
“Ben was fantastic! He took such great care of our dog Skye over a long weekend, and even went above and beyond to check on our cats too. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and total peace of mind. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking Ben again!”
About: I've taken care of animals for neighbors, family, and friends for some time. I am reliable and flexible with schedules to accommodate early mornings or late nights. I'm currently part time with a flexible schedule and happy to fit anything I can into it. Just reach out to me and we can discuss the circumstances. I have a fenced yard and a friendly small 40lb labradoodle, with lots of space to sprawl and nap inside the house as well. I live in a neighborhood and have space to take dogs on long or short walks.
About: I am a lifelong dog owner and am passionate about animal care and behavior. I am a final semester student in environmental science with experience studying and caring for turtles. I have pet sitting experience taking care of puppies and personal experience with senior dogs. I am currently finishing my degree and taking one class so I am available all week other than 12-6pm on Monday and 12-3pm on Wednesdays. I have a fenced yard and easy access to the bike path for walks. I am firmly committed to only using positive reinforcement and fear free interactions. I have a dog but she is currently away with my dad while he visits family.
About: Hi! I'm spending the summer in Wildwood with my family and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and chinchillas, so caring for animals has been a part of my everyday life since I was young. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just keeping a pet company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, playtime, and house sitting services. I'll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, affection, and care while you're away, and I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. While I can't offer boarding because my family home is already full of furry friends, I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets in the place where they're most comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I do work a full 9-5 job and am out of the house from 8-6 everyday. I can do nightly dog walking during the weeks and can board dogs for those busy weekend or weekend getaways. I am currently living in a two bedroom apartment. My building is located just across the street from a park where we can go out to run around and play. Pets are allowed on the couch but will not be allowed on the bed.
“Victoria filled in for my full time dog sitter on short notice. She went out of her way to meet with my dog to prior to booking to make sure they felt comfortable around each other. She is kind, professional and took excellent care of my dog. Great communication, updated me with photos and made sure my house was secure. Highly recommend and hopefully book again when needed.”
About: Hello, my name is Jenny! I have my bachelor's degree in Pre-Veterinary Science and worked as a Vet-Tech for over 4 years. I have experience with senior dogs and can give oral or subcutaneous medications such as diabetes injections or seizure medication. I am able to do nail trims, paw pad fur clipping, ear cleaning, brushing, or simple baths. Also, I have ample experience with stubborn dog breeds such as huskies! I’m currently working from home and can be with your pups as much as they need me to be! I usually will let them out 5-6 times a day to run in the yard. If they need anything else or prefer walks, I can offer them as well! I have a half acre fenced in backyard for your furry friend to run free (perfect for pets that do not have a fenced yard at home). I am set back far from any main roads and live on a farm surrounded by open land. I currently have three huskies that are all dog friendly but if your pup doesn’t really like to play or is older I have two half doors installed in my home to keep my pets separated from your pets if preferred. I also have two entrances to the fenced in yard so they do not have to interact. Dog crates readily available if necessary. My dogs are all up-to-date on vaccines and take monthly heartworm & flea/tick preventatives.
About: Hi! My name is Myranda, and I’m 21 years old! I’m currently in college finishing up my prerequisites and hoping to get into a nursing program next year. I’ve also been working in Ocean City, NJ, for about five years now! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I’d love to spend some of my free time helping families care for their furry friends! I know pets are such an important part of the family, and I understand how much it means to have someone you can trust looking after them. I’m a very caring, patient, and responsible person. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away, I’d love to help! I have my own car and reliable transportation, and I’m hoping to find opportunities that work around my school and work schedule. I’d love to get to know you and your pets! :) I’m currently working and going to college, but I have some flexibility in my schedule! I’d love to spend some of my free time caring for your pets. I’m open to weekends, evenings, and occasional visits throughout the week depending on my school and work schedule. I also have my own car, so transportation isn’t an issue! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else! I’ll always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’ll also make sure to send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cape May
We had such a wonderful experience with Alayna! She took amazing care of our 15 week old corgi, paid close attention to his routine and individual needs, and made sure he was happy and well cared for. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay, and we could tell our pup was genuinely loved and cared for. I really appreciated that we were able to do a meet and greet before Alaya dog sat. We would absolutely trust her with him again!
If my cats could leave a review, they’d probably give her 10 stars! ⭐️ Excellent communication, updates, and she took amazing care of my kitties while I was away. It’s such a relief to know your fur babies are in good hands, and she treated mine like her own. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cape May is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $34 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 October 2026, there are 443 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cape May. 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 .
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 , 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 Cape May. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
