About: Im a patient individual which allows me to be compatible with many different types of pet's. Young and always barking? I got it! huge and quiet? Got that one two. Working part time soon, so availability will change in June, but for now I have free availability throughout the week and weekends any time of day. I am a very organized person so please do not expect a mess I will clean up after myself and the fur babies as needed.
About: Been around animals all my life, they care and love i have and the joy it brings is out of this world. Also as i help care for my grandmom and she has had pets growing up. I know it will bring her joy and will take up her time as she sits in the house, if we dont go out for the day. As i work on the week days, i am availble (if nothing pops up) on the weekends, like a friday night untill sunday night if that will work for anybody. And also i do work in the school system so having weeks off for or a couple days off can change my schedule but for now, weekends are best. If pets need care i am here to learn and help, i do offer a yard (sadly is not fenced) but if on a leash your pet will be taken very care of and we be shown love and care.
“Jamie was fantastic and great at communicating. She took really good care of our dogs and rabbit. After the nightmare we had with another sitter on Rover, Jamie was a great relief. I would highly recommend her!”
“Diana was awesome. She got back with me initially within an hour. She took great care of my two cats and communicated with me each day including pictures of my kitties I definitely would hire her again”

About: Hello! I am a music artist and sound engineer based in South Jersey. While I love music, I equally love taking care of furry pals. In the last years of my 14 y/o dog’s life, I provided senior care and accessibility to her when she became blind. It was an honor to be there for the last parts of her life. I do not have any pets currently, but I’ve always had a good connection with animals I meet in homes and out and about. My friends and family entrust their cats, rabbits and dogs in my care whenever they are away or need a bit of help in the day. As a freelance worker, My afternoons and evenings are ever-changing. My mornings and midday are always available. That being said, I have a very flexible schedule and can figure out a plan that works for you, too! When I am in charge of care at a client’s home and their pets, I take that responsibility as my top priority. I am always aware of where your pet is at any moment, and your house will be kept up to the same cleanly standards if not better.
About: I have over 7 years of professional grooming experience, giving me a strong understanding of dog behavior, health, and comfort. Along with caring for my own pets at home, I’ve developed a natural ability to connect with dogs of all personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing patience, love, and reliable care tailored to their unique needs. I only work two days a week, so I have lots of free time to love on your fur babies! I’m super flexible and can make time for walks, play, and cuddles most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe by sticking to their normal routines. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or snuggles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, gentle, and always respectful of your space and your fur baby’s needs.
“Sally was so great with our corgi puppy Finn. She was always quick to answer, extremely reliable, and competent. I’ve never had someone walk him before so I was very nervous, but she gave Finn so much love, treats, and even a new toy! Above and beyond! Thank you so much Sally!!”
About: I have had cats and dogs growing up and have watched my neighbors pets throughout the years as well. I love animals with all different personalities I currently work remotely so I think this is a perfect opportunity to be occupied by a pet in need of care. I have more time on my hands while I’m working from home and love to spend time my pets as much as I can. I have a fenced in yard and a perfect neighborhood to bring animals on walks and/or simply play in the yard. I have 2 cats who are very friendly (one with many dog traits!) and get along well with other animals.
About: I’ve taken care of pets from pit bulls who need more socialization to cats who are shy and have special needs. I’ve learned to have more patience so I can really get to know how each pet behaves. I’m always available to drop in during weekdays from early morning to afternoon while I’m still working out a more consistent schedule with my part-time job, but I will always make time for a furry friend in need! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. Dropping in to your house will be no issue, I’ll make sure everything stays as it was, if not better!
About: I've taken care of my own dogs for many years, feeding, cleaning up after them, playing with them, bathing and brushing them, even cutting their nails. I have also taken care of a few neighborhood dogs. I have also worked as an animal care person at a reptile facility, so I know my way around a lot of animals! I am on a break from college currently to get some money for the rest of my years of studying, since I cannot afford to right now. I will dedicate as much time as I can to your pets and do my best for them! While I do not offer in home sitting, I have been taking care of animals for a solid 6 years of my life, including reptiles and birds! I am also connected to the Absecon Police Department so if anything were to happen while I were dog/house sitting, rest assured the situation would be resolved quickly and efficiently.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I am currently volunteering with a local animal rescue and am hoping to start school to become a certified trainer this summer. I currently own a 1 yr old collie mix that we rescued. I am fully insured and bonded. I am also a member of Pet Sitters International I am available for 30 or 60 minutes sessions to walk or play with your dog. I will spend time playing with your dog and interacting with them. I am certified in pet first aid and CPCR through Pet Sitters International. I am willing to feed and fill water for cats and do drop ins while your away. I am also able to scoop litter boxes if its needed while your on vacation.
“Thank you Breanna! It meant a lot that to us to have our kitties stay at home while we were away versus boarding them. She did great with our three cats, one is very social, one needed medicine and the third is your typical cat. I would highly recommend Breanna. Very easy to communicate with and could tell our cats we’re in good hands during the initial meet and greet.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Margate City 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 Margate City 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.

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 Margate City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
