About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for them during all stages! I love all types of dogs and have a yellow lab of my own who loves to make new friends! I have a hybrid work schedule so I love to fit in dog walks/care on Mondays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m also flexible on weekends! I have a dog of my own that can join on walks or stay behind, so your dog can have a friend or undivided attention. We live on the first floor of a dog friendly apartment :)
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and parakeets, and my mom bred and showed dogs, so I learned early how important patience, consistency, and attentive care are for every pet’s personality and needs. As an adult, I’ve primarily cared for cats and currently have a diabetic cat of my own. I’m very experienced with glucose testing and monitoring, administering insulin injections, recognizing and managing hypoglycemic events, and giving calm, compassionate care to pets with medical needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, observant, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m recently retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. While I do travel occasionally, my trips are planned well in advance and I keep my calendar updated. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking, and I enjoy helping pets stay comfortable in their normal routine and environment while their owners are away. I only provide care in the client’s home because I believe many pets feel safest and least stressed in familiar surroundings. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and comfort needs so I can provide calm, reliable care while you’re away. I’m especially experienced with cats and pets requiring medical attention, including diabetic care, glucose monitoring, insulin injections, and recognizing signs of hypoglycemia. I treat every home respectfully and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Carlie did a great job with both my big and little dogs! She came over for a meet and greet - and they instantly took to her. She was on time, followed directions, and was very friendly! Highly recommend!”
“Cindi has been so wonderful to us and Ruby. She takes great care of our older girl and gives us updates and pictures every time. I feel really relieved to know I can leave Ruby in her capable and caring hands.”
“We met Alison for the first time today for a meet and greet. She was extremely friendly and charming. She listened to all of our needs and best of all, our boy Sherman absolutely loved her. We will be booking with her very soon.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, and I currently have three cats and a puppy of my own. I’ve also had senior pets and pets with medical needs, so I’m completely comfortable giving medication and paying attention to signs of stress or discomfort. As a former elementary school teacher, I bring a calm, patient, and dependable approach to every visit. I always make sure pets feel safe, understood, and cared for—whether that means playtime, gentle company, or simply sticking to their normal routine. My goal is to make each visit stress-free for both you and your pet. I work from home part-time, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cat care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I don’t currently offer overnights or boarding, I’m able to stop by multiple times a day as needed. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things familiar and stress-free. I stick to your normal feeding, walking, and play routines, give plenty of attention, and make sure water and litter boxes are fresh. I’m patient with shy pets and happy to give extra cuddles to the social ones. I treat your home and your pets with the same care I give my own.
About: I’ve had family dogs since a child and recently adopted a 6 month old puppy named Max. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs and love getting to know dogs of all ages and breeds. I especially love getting to know new dogs and learn what their care needs are! I work part time, mostly from home, and my wife works full time from home. We both share responsibility throughout the day to give our puppy Max all the attention he needs, including regular bathroom breaks at the fenced dog park on our rooftop and walks during lunch and after work. My own puppy pretty much goes wherever I go! I’ve driven him, taken him on metro, and dined at restaurants outside with him. With your pet, I would strive to do the same to make sure they have a full, active day/night with plenty of enrichment to keep them engaged and happy.
“Exceptional Care for Two Special-Needs Cats Jennifer provided outstanding care for our two cats during a three-day trip, and we couldn’t be more grateful. One of our cats is diabetic and requires glucose monitoring along with insulin injections twice daily. Our other cat has chronic kidney disease, so careful observation of food and water intake, litter box habits, and overall behavior is extremely important. Jennifer handled every aspect of their care with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine compassion. She kept us informed with regular updates, closely monitored both cats, and quickly noticed even subtle changes in their routines and behaviors. It was clear that she treated our pets as if they were her own. Knowing that our diabetic cat was receiving accurate glucose readings and insulin injections on schedule gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Caring for senior cats with medical needs requires experience, reliability, and dedication, and Jennifer exceeded our expectations in every way. We returned home to two happy, healthy, and well-cared-for cats. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate pet sitter, especially for pets with medical conditions. We will absolutely be booking with her again. — Valerie & Family 🐾”
“We never left the cats before and were worried. All our concerns went away during the meet & greet - even our shyest liked Melanie. The pics she sent showed the cats playing and content. When we got home they weren’t all clingy & needy. We would definitely hire her again”
About: I have been obsessed with dogs all my life but I love and care about all animals. When I was a kid I used to go to my neighbors and ask them to take their dog out for a walk just because I loved it so much. I grew up with pets - from a cat, to hamsters, to a dog. Until recently, I lived with a roommate with two pit bulls. I used to care for them every time she was out - I fed them, took them out and walked them as well. We loved each other so much that they would come to my room to chill with me even when she was home!! In 2023 I adopted a dog myself (the sweetest pit bull) and I currently live with my boyfriend, who has a cat that I take care of on the daily. I am currently working full time. I work Monday - Friday from 8:30am to 5:00 pm so I am available every other time! I am available all day Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, I don’t offer house-sitting services at the moment. However, I am available for drop-ins or walks and can go anywhere in the Newark/Snow Hill/Berlin area (if you live further you can still reach out to me and I may be able to do it depending on my schedule). I can feed your baby, take them for a walk or even just keep them company! I follow the owner's instructions to a T. I’m always punctual, and I write my report cards the way I’d want to receive one—full of details and lots of pictures!!
“After another sitter canceled last minute, Emily was able to come in and watch my cats on short notice (over the holiday, at that!) She always did her check-ins in a timely manner and provided detailed updates. I’m very happy and would book with her again.”
“We’re so glad we found Kasey, she was incredibly helpful with our new puppy Oakley. She was super easy to work with and very flexible when it came to our schedule. Oakley was always well taken care of during her visits. Her background in animal hospitals and expertise in care made her a clear choice for us, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for care. Thanks Kasey!”
About: I’m reliable and loving. I’d love to be connected with your fur babies. Any age is fine with me. I have a puppy and a senior. Think about this summer when you are out having fun and have to rush home to feed or walk your pet. I don't overnight in my home or yours because I have four animals of my own. Sorry. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. Most any time of day . Night time in a well lit area is preferred for me I don't overnight here or at you home as I have to be here for my own pets. But I can spend the day .
About: Hi! I’ve been a proud cat parent for over 5 years and have also cared for my roommate’s energetic dog—so I understand the different needs and personalities pets can have. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to keep them happy and safe while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s needs—whether it’s daytime visits, evening walks, or overnight stays including weekdays, weekends, and some holidays I follow the owner's instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress-free for the pet. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to leave the home just as I found it—clean and tidy.
“Shane and Monika, a dynamite team, watched our 6 month old active pup while we were in Philadelphia for a short-term stay. They were both incredible. They were communicative, punctual, and gave our pup the most incredible dog walks and playtime during our booked time slots. Our pup came back tired and happy. We will be returning to Philadelphia because we know our pup will receive such great care while we are busy in the city. They made it so easy by responding right away, communicating through check-ins, and showing up on time for pick ups and drop offs. Thank you Shane and Monika! You made our stay absolutely perfect.”
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
“Emma was super flexible and awesome with my fur babies. She was able to get there last minute when my flight got delayed, which I was so thankful for! Thank you so much for taking amazing care of my kitties!!”

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 July 2026, there are 479 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fenwick Island. 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 Fenwick Island 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 Fenwick Island. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
