Highly recommend Kellie! She was wonderful with our pets despite having to take care of a grumpy Pyrenees on antibiotics. She kept us updated and sent pics as well. We will definitely use her for our pet sitting needs again.

About: I have many years of experience with animal care and rescue. I’ve worked on a horse ranch rescue, Animal Control Officer, animal rescue, animal shelters and pet sitting. I have a lot of training in veterinary care, animal handling, animal behavior and administration of medication. I have dedicated my life to fostering and adopting hospice pets. I am fortunate to have a full time career that is very flexible with scheduling. I am also off most weekends to leave me free to care for pets! I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect and care. I will be very happy to follow your special instructions and often updates.

Lisa is amazing! Will definitely use again. Buck is an older rescue which we have had around 18 months - skittish around others. He was comfortable around her and did very well while we were gone. We are very appreciative of the good care Lisa and Claudia provided.

Thank you for taking care of my babies while I was away. Stephanie was able to squeeze me in with very short notice and was very punctual in the agreed on times. She sent me updates on the pets and the house, and I felt at ease the entire time.

When we got home, Leonhard came running to the door to greet Morcos. He was confused to see us I think. It's always so relieving to come home to happy cats, and it lets us relax with family when we know they're being so well cared for.

About: Previously, I was an Animal Control Officer for the City of Fort Worth for 2 years and switched to assisting in running the Animal Adoption Center for the City of Fort Worth for 2 1/2 years. I personally have had pets my entire life from horses, birds, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I love all breeds of animals the fluffier the better! I am currently attending online classes part-time from home so your fur babies will never feel lonely. Since I am always home your little ones will receive tons of love and plenty of playtime. I have experience with administrating medications and basic vet care for both cats and dogs so you never have to worry about the well-being of your pet while with me! I have both large and small crates if crating is needed along with a fenced-in backyard.

About: •Experienced with small and medium-sized dogs •Comfortable administering basic medications (oral/topical) •Great with high-energy dogs who need structured walks •Patient with shy or anxious pups •Used to keeping consistent feeding schedules Since I work remotely, your pup won’t be left alone all day. I’m home and present, which means more supervision, more potty breaks, and more attention. You can expect: •Flexible scheduling •Plenty of playtime and structured walks •Consistent feeding and medication routines (if needed) •Frequent photo and video updates 📸 •A calm, safe, and loving environment

I had asked him to do a last minute check becasue my pup was pinging (apple tag) out of the home and he was right on it. He checked on her and confirmed she was home as well as checked the fence area for holes. He put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using his service in the future.

John has been incredible with my 4 dogs. Yes, 4! I have 2 older ladies and two younger males and they all love him. He is great with communication and I know that they are well cared for when we’re away. We have used him several times and will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Gloucester Point on Rover is $16.05 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,368 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Gloucester Point. 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 Gloucester Point 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gloucester Point choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Gloucester Point with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.

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.
