About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for the majority of my life including the 3 family Labrador Retrievers I grew up with, extended family's cats and dogs, and neighbors' pets ranging from puppies and kittens to older pets. I am also the type of gal to point out every dog I see walks or road trips and a good time to me at a house party is playing with the dog! Let me know what kind of play and care your pet deserves and I would love to watch over your baby while you are away! I am currently looking for work in education or childcare and figured I could help out my community through pet care while I continue my search! I have the time and energy to care and play with your pet with the love and attention they deserve! I also have the added bonus of a flexible schedule that can meet your pet care needs! I can help support your pets' needs in a variety of ways including outdoor walking and exercise, indoor play (depending on space and personal preferences), feeding, brush and coat care, and will do my best to accommodate any additional pet needs!

About: I grew up with three pets, two cats and one dog until I was 15 years old when they all transitioned. I was responsible for feeding and giving them water, walking, and bathing them. In adulthood I’ve cared for roommate’s pets for multiple days at a time including a puppy less than one year old. I’ve also walked friends’ dogs and love animals big and small. I work full time and will be available after Monday and Tuesday on weekdays past 4pm and have flexible availability on weekends just depends on what’s going on! I’m a kind individual who respects a person’s space and all who live there. I’m all about safety and have previous experience with small children so I have a careful eye.

About: I am currently a professional dog bather and groom prepper. I have 1+ year of professional experience, plus 10+ years of personal experience raising two energetic cats and one Great Dane (from puppy to end of life). For dogs, my best approach is to establish trust and gauge their comfortability with me. My job has taught me the proper ways to care for scared and timid dogs, and I am not shy when it comes to handling energetic, bitey, 100+ lb dogs. For cats, it is important to match the play style that is built into their genetics. That makes the experience fun for both! I am currently working full-time as a pet and dog washer and groom prepper in Margate, NJ. I live at the edge of Atlantic City and Ventnor, where I love walking around and enjoying the place I live. I have over a year of experience working with energetic, large, feisty, 100+ pound dogs. I have learned that sometimes the way to keep pets the safest is to be direct with my handling of them. Additionally, in my line of work, I routinely interact with dogs that are scared, shy, and timid. I am able to build trust with them even across the inherent language barrier.

About: Hello! My name is Richard Richmond and I want to play with your dog!! I have never met a dog I don’t like and am able to adapt my dog-sitting style to many different types of dogs. Whether it be an active German Shepard who wants to run around, a young pup who needs to be kept an eye on, or even an old dog who’s maybe had their better days behind them, I can adapt to bebthe dog-sitter you need me to be. I will be sure to strictly adhere to any instructions given to me concerning the dog’s needs. If you allow me into your home I will be sure to leave it in better condition than I found it and if your dog comes into my home we will treat him like one of the family. Currently part time employed so I can give your dogs all the love and care they deserve! I can adjust my schedule around your needs. I will cater to my clients’ dogs needs. I can take them out on long walks or play with them at home or in the yard.

About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.

About: I have been around dogs all my life, mostly big mutts, and actively caring for the family dog since the age of 10. I trained my parents last 2 labradors (always a fun breed). I have elderly dog experience both with a big malamute/shepherd mix and a diaper wearing rat terrier. So I am used to the individualized care that different dogs need. On the fun side of things, long walks, fetch and tug o war are my specialities! I can groom, bathe, give medications, play, walk, run, snuggle, scratch and provide whatever care you prescribe for your favorite family member! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can run on your schedule. If dog sitting, I only need an couple hours in the afternoon to walk my parents dog. If your pup enjoys other dogs and you are comfortable with it they can come along too. My own 3 year old dog is walked at least 4 times a day. He is a lab so he enjoys long walks and trips to the beach, bay, hiking trails, and dog park. I make sure he gets tug of war time and he loves my cats laser pointer. We keep him supplied with dry food at all times because he does not overeat. He gets wet food once a week and an ample supply of people food whenever anyone is in the kitchen. But this is just how my family cares for our pups. I will strive to interrupt your dog's normal routine as little as possible.

About: I've proudly been working with dogs for the past 12 years! House/pet sitting since 2023 for friends and family and as my full time job since May 2025. Prior to May I was a facility manager of a local daycare/boarding facility for almost 7 years. I was responsible for the safety and well being of 30-100 dogs everyday. Prior to that I worked at a vets office for 1 & 1/2 years and before that, a Luxury Pet Hotel for 3 & 1/2 years. I have cared for 1000's of dogs, all sizes, ages and breeds. I posses a wide array of skills and knowledge, ensuring all pets are safe and comfortable. I have managed large play groups, broken up altercations, cleaned wounds and given many forms of medications. I have also cared for senior dogs, injured dogs, and sick dogs. There is not much I haven't experienced over the years. I have also owned 4 dogs of my own as an adult, I currently have 2 fur babies! Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job. I may have to walk a few dogs here and there but my schedule is flexible. I will always ensure your dog is well cared for, going outside in a timely manner and properly exercised. I have open availability and will try my best to accommodate your requests if your pet is a good fit for my pack! I have an acre of land with a fenced in dog area. All dogs are supervised while outside and I can split play time or walks as needed. I love to take pack walks in the woods/trails and explore local parks if your okay with that! If not that's okay too, we can play fetch, indoor games and cuddle! I can crate your dog while I'm not home, or for bed time if needed. My 2 dogs Nigel and Sage are friendly and ready to play or chill with new friends. If I come to your home I can care for your pet anyway you choose, trying to keep their routine as similar to there day to day.

About: Hi, I’m Roland! 🐾 I have hands-on experience in animal shelter care, dog handling, and training. I’m passionate about understanding canine behavior and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup needs a walk, some company, or extra patience and understanding, I’m here to help! I’ll treat your dog like family and keep their well-being my top priority. Pet care is a part of my daily routine and a major part of my life. I make sure my animals receive consistent feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, and attention every day. I also prioritize their mental well-being by observing their behavior, building trust, and providing opportunities for training and socialization at their individual comfort levels. Between caring for my own animals, working at an animal shelter, and training dogs privately, animal care is something I dedicate time to throughout the week. I understand that every animal has different needs, and I strive to provide patient, consistent, and compassionate care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I maintain routines and reinforce basic training every other day to keep dogs mentally engaged and well-behaved.

“This was our first time using a pet sitter, other than family, and we are extremely pleased with the experience. Cassie went above and beyond, taking care of our cats and home while we were away. Even our very shy cat, who takes days to come out while visitors are here, was out within a day and looking forward to her visits. Regular updates, photos, and personable accounts of the visits all added up to easing our minds about how the cats were doing, and we can't thank Cassie enough for her care of 2 of our furry family members! Highly recommend and will be calling Cassie for sure next time we need someone to watch the cats.”

Ayesha took our dog for mid-day walks for a week when we could not be there. She was on time each day. She checked in with us, and sent pictures of the walk. She did a great job and our dog really liked Ayesha.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Longport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Longport is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 471 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Longport. 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 Longport. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
