“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!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Isabella! She treats my dog with so much love and patience, and it truly shows every time he sees her he gets so excited. I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. Isabella is attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with pets. She’s the best! 🐾💛”
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.
“The best dog sitter we have ever had. We booked very last minute due to a cancellation. She was extremely nice, responsive, and helpful. We got a lot of awesome pictures of our dog each drop in. She took her on several walks and loved on her. Could not have asked for a better experience and will absolutely try to book with her again. 5+ stars”

I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! Overnight stays, walks, check ins I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort within their own home. I'll ensure all doors and windows are secure, and I'm mindful of any potential hazards. My visits will be scheduled to provide consistent companionship and avoid leaving your pet alone for extended periods. I'm happy to follow any specific security routines you have in place.
“Bridget was great with my 2 cats! My one cat, Finn doesn't always do great with eating while I'm away so I usually check him with my Ring. That unfortunately didn't work so well with spotty phone coverage in Europe. I did get through to Bridget once and she assured me that all was well. The kitchen was clean and the trash was taken out. Thanks Bridget!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs around my neighborhood for my whole life, and I have two dogs of my own that I help take care of. I love dogs and have always enjoyed helping take care of them. I am currently living in Cape May, but I am available every week day to walk/ sit or take care of your dog. I am available Monday - Friday. I have a safe environment in my home with two other dogs. A fenced in yard with rocks in the back. I could host dogs in my home but I believe it would be better for me to come to the client.
“Emelia was absolutely amazing with Bean. I will absolutely be asking her to watch her again. She did a wonderful job of making sure she was taken care of while making sure I was comfortable with her care.”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets, and I have always loved caring for all animals. From friends to family, I’ve done it all in caring for them I can take of all pets during the days.

About: I have taken care of both of my family dogs and our cat for around 10 years now. I have also cared for family friend's animals when they were away walking, feeding, and watching them. I am currently in school full time but have plenty of time throughout the week, as well as weekends, to care for all of your pets! I will not take more than one dog at a time for a walk if requested so that it is guaranteed there will be no issues with other dogs.
About: I have always been a big animal lover! Growing up, I was the go to caretaker for friend’s and family’s pets when they went away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cape May
Alaya and Lily did a fantastic job caring for our three cats, Luna, Willow, and Fig, while we were out of town. We got detailed updates, and lots of pictures of our girls. Luna is extremely shy and scared with new people, but actually even allowed a pet and ate some treats! Willow and Fig were happy for lots of love and playtime. It gave us a great sense of comfort knowing that our fur babies were being cared for by the best! We will definitely be booking again in the future!
Mary does a great job with our 17-year-old dog. We always have her come when we’re going to be out of the house more hours than he can handle. She is very understanding of his habits and personality, super reliable, and sends a nice update text after every visit. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
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 for Pet Sitting in Cape May on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cape May. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Cape May 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cape May. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
